Chapter 003 Acknowledgments

"The old lady is too partial!" After finally getting out of Songzhutang, Du Juan couldn't help but feel sorry for his own girl, "How can you just listen to the words of the second girl and the fourth girl in this matter." ”

Because they grew up together, the two were so intimate that there was no obvious boundary between master and servant, and Du Juan dared to say anything to Shi Jinxiu.

"Shh Shi Jinxiu made a silent gesture with the cuckoo, "Beware of the ears on the wall!" ”

The cuckoo was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth.

In Shi Jinxiu's opinion, this is nothing at all, you must know that she has encountered even more unfair things in her dreams.

In the dream, after Cai Xiang'er's accident, in the face of the tough pressure of the Zheng Guogong Mansion, Mrs. Shi, who couldn't find the real murderer, once tried to let her take the blame to extinguish the other party's anger. Fortunately, Duchess Zheng Guo is a person who knows right from wrong, so she is not a scapegoat.

This is also why, Shi Jinxiu, who could have stayed out of the matter, had to take the risk of squatting by the lotus pond, but now he is only forbidden to stop and copy books, which is the best result.

didn't think that the next day, Zheng Guogong's Mansion sent a well-spoken mother-in-law to the door with a generous gift, saying that she was coming to thank Shi Jinxiu for saving her life.

The mother-in-law is kind and kind-eyed, and she has a smiling face when she meets people, wearing Lu silk and a gold skein bracelet on her wrist.

"Our family's wife said that the fifth lady of your house saved our family's eldest lady, we can't do that thing that doesn't know how to be polite." The mother-in-law stood in front of the eldest lady Li and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, and the corners of Li's eyebrows twitched when she heard it.

Something like that happened in the mansion yesterday, and the Li family, as the wife in charge, naturally didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so it was in vain for people to see the jokes of the Changxing Marquis Mansion.

Therefore, she wanted to suppress the matter first, and wait for a few days after the turmoil passed, and then go to the door to apologize, but she didn't expect the other party to come to the door with something fanfare.

Goryeo's ginseng, Siamese's blood swallow, Rakshasa's deer antler...... It's all good things that money can't buy in the market.

Pinching such a gift list, Li was very moved.

"This is too expensive...... "The Li family, who claims to have seen the world, was also shocked by this gift list, and the Zheng Guogong Mansion is really wealthy.

"Madam, don't you know, the eldest lady of our family is expensive, in their generation, there is such a girl like her, and the uncles, uncles, aunts and aunts in the family like it very much. It's a shame that the fifth lady of your mansion saved the eldest lady of our family yesterday, otherwise this matter is really big, and the imperial concubine doesn't know how sad she will be......" The woman seemed to say casually, but her words were full of warnings, "So compared to our eldest lady's life, these things are really nothing." ”

Li couldn't help but gasp

After living in the capital for so many years, she naturally knew that the Cai family in Zheng Guogong's Mansion was high, but she never thought that their family would be so nervous Cai Xiang'er was such a girl.

Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise they would have offended the Zhengguo Mansion, and they would not have to mix in the capital of Changxing.

Li Shi pulled out a smile in embarrassment: "Since this is the case, then I will accept it for the people in the fourth room first." ”

"That's not going to happen!" didn't think about it, but the woman refused, "Our wife said, these things must be delivered to the fifth lady by hand!" I have to bother the eldest lady to pass on the word to my mother-in-law, so that I can go back to my life earlier. ”

"It's fine." Li Shiyun nodded lightly, and motioned to the grandmother beside him to lead the way for the mother-in-law, but secretly she bit a mouthful of silver teeth.

The things on the gift list are worth eight hundred if they are not worth a thousand taels.

She originally wanted to keep some privately, and then the rest was put into the account of the public middle school, but she didn't expect that now it will be four rooms cheaper.

I don't know what kind of shit luck those five girls had, why was she rescued the eldest lady of the Cai family?

In the Lixiang Courtyard, Shi Jinxiu looked at the large and small brocade boxes piled up in the house, and his expression was in a trance.

In the letter, Cai Xiang'er criticized the two sisters, Shi Coral and Shi Zhu, and her righteous indignation jumped on the paper, and then at the end of the letter, she turned her pen again and invited Shi Jinxiu to Zheng Guogong's mansion to attend her birthday banquet ten days later.

Cai Xianger is the only girl in the Cai family's generation, so she is regarded as the pearl of the palm by her family.

Every time Cai Xiang'er's birthday, Duchess Zheng Guo will hold a birthday banquet for her, and invite the female relatives of the famous families in the capital to the mansion for a gathering.

Over time, Cai Xiang'er's birthday has become a feast in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, and those who want to have a relationship with the Cai family will take this opportunity to walk around.

Now that Cai Xiang'er has personally made a post, Shi Jinxiu is naturally not easy to refuse, but this matter also makes her feel big.

If she wants to be a guest at Zheng Guogong's Mansion, this decent clothing and jewelry will not be missing.

But the little silver that my father took from the public school every month had to rely on my mother's private embroidery work to subsidize it, so I could barely maintain the family, and Shi Jinxiu couldn't open this mouth.

She moved out of the small box where she saved money on weekdays, which contained the five copper coins she had saved with great difficulty over the years. It is definitely enough to buy some needles and threads, but if you want to buy new jewelry and new clothes, you can't do it without twenty or thirty taels of silver.

What a penny stumped the hero!

In the dream, because they have no money, they are always bullied by other people in the house, and even the maids in the house know how to look at the dishes and don't give them a good face!

Those days were really embarrassing!

Thinking of her tragic end in the dream, Shi Jinxiu didn't admit defeat and thought, since she could save Cai Xiang'er who drowned, why couldn't she change her fate?

"Cuckoo!" After Shi Jinxiu carefully recalled that dream, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, "Go get two clothes, let's pretend to be a man and go out of the house secretly!" ”

"What?" The cuckoo was taken aback by Shi Jinxiu, "Girl, didn't Mrs. Tai ban your feet?" What if this is discovered? ”

Shi Jinxiu glanced at the cuckoo: "Can't we go secretly and go back secretly?" ”

There are two major markets in the capital, east and west, but there are two classes of people gathered.

There are a lot of dazzling things in the East Market, attracting the ladies and ladies of those dignitaries and wealthy families, and the things there are also very expensive, and a single baked cake can be sold for a high price of one or two silver in the East Market.

Compared with the east market, the west market is more mixed. People from all walks of life gather here, trading on the black market with goods of unknown origin, and if you are lucky, it is not impossible to pick up a leak or something.

Shi Jinxiu, who was dressed as a man, and Du Juan, who was wearing the same outfit, didn't say a word, and didn't enter it.
