Chapter 342: Pseudo-Relatives
The teahouse was originally scheduled to open on the 15th of this month, and she will go back after the opening. But the opening was delayed, and she had to delay a few more days and go back at the end of this month.
Although Zhao Wu was extremely reluctant to part with Xu Lanyin, he was in a hurry, not only did the yamen set a date for his return, but he also had to hurry back to propose marriage, buy a dowry, and decorate the house.
He said, "There are a lot of things in Ningzhou Mansion, so I won't wait for my sister and go back the day after tomorrow." ”
Xu Lanyin nodded in agreement. She was also reluctant to Zhao Wu, but the opening of the teahouse was more important, and she didn't want to be absent. The main reason is that she wants Chai Jun to lure out the fourth prince Liu Zhaohou and take care of the relationship with that great god, which will be of great benefit.
At noon, Wang Sanni asked people to go to the restaurant next to them to buy a few dishes, and a few people ate by the backyard.
After the meal, Xu Lanyin and Zhao Wu went to Baotai Silver House to sell jewelry. Baotai Silver Building is the second largest silver building in Beijing, and I heard that the reputation is very good.
Hearing that they had business to discuss, the shopkeeper invited them into a small room on the second floor.
Among these ten kinds of jewelry, the most valuable should be two of the oval emeralds with the size of the thumb and thumb, which are green and translucent, not only good in color, but also large, and have been cut and can be directly set on the jewelry. Emeralds are not easy to cut and can be easily damaged. Therefore, the two emeralds of such a large shape should be sold for at least two or three thousand taels of silver.
The other seven are two pearls smaller than longan, a small amethyst ornament, and four red gold hairpins inlaid with Bores, which should add up to the same price as the two emeralds.
Zhao Wu talked to the shopkeeper Huang about the price, and Xu Lanyin listened to the voice of the shopkeeper Huang, and his psychological price was raised at all.
The final price was five thousand nine hundred taels of silver.
Both parties were satisfied with this price, and Zhao Wu bought four pairs of dragon and phoenix bracelets and a Qibao Yingluo circle here as a dowry. He also took a fancy to two inlaid gold hairpins, but he didn't dare to buy them, for fear that the shopkeeper would be suspicious, how could there be a reason to sell the gold hairpin and buy the gold hairpin.
Zhao Wu sent Xu Lanyin to the door of the Nanyang Eldest Princess's Mansion before leaving.
He also wanted to visit Xu Lanyin at night, but was persuaded by Xu Lanyin. The eldest princess's guards are much stronger than those of the Wen Mansion, in case they find out that it is not good for her reputation.
Xu Lanyin stayed in the Nanyang Eldest Princess's Mansion again.
Chai Jingjing was busy "adapting" and practicing the songs, Xu Lanyin accompanied the eldest princess to relieve her boredom, and played with Chai Zixiao and Ma, and talked about the tea house with Chai Jun after dinner.
Chai Jun has already played a package ticket, and will invite Liu Zhaohou on the opening day, and will also invite several masters in the Beijing chess world to be referees for chess, Go, chess, and military chess. And the referee of checkers, Xu Lanyin also has candidates, that is, Chai Jingjing and Zhou Ziyou. This time, the checkers also made a rule for the players, under the age of twelve.
He also invited Commander Chai to be the guest of honor.
The eldest princess of Nanyang likes to be lively, and after hearing about it, she also asked to participate. Xu Lanyin arranged an official for her, the chief referee, who was only responsible for saying a few words and nodding his head, and the deputy referee who was really in charge of affairs was Zhou Shu, a chess idiot.
This Zhou Shu is, of course, Zhou Shu, the vice president of Ningzhou Mansion Academy, who was transferred to Guozijian as a secretary two months ago. Later, Xu Lanyin learned that he was still a relative of the Zhou family.
It was the tenth day of the first month of October, and today the Nanyang Eldest Princess's Mansion held a confession banquet.
Early in the morning, Xu Lanzhou came to the eldest princess's mansion.
Nanyang Princess's Mansion invited Pingjun Palace, Yongjun Palace, Beiyang Princess's Mansion, Fenghe Princess's Mansion. I also invited Wu Wangfu, but yesterday King Wu and Princess Wu went to Xishan Baoguo Temple to pray for the emperor, to copy the scriptures there for five days, only the prince of Wu Wang, ten-year-old Liu Yuanming came. As King Wu's guard, Xu Qingyan also went to Xishan.
Hearing that King Pingjun was coming, Xu Lanyin was still a little curious. In the book, as the male protagonist, King Pingjun is handsome and chic, wise and resolute, and is very liked and trusted by the emperor, and has a deep relationship with the three princes who became the crown prince. is even more fond of the heroine, helping her to defeat Mrs. Su's mother and daughter, and destroying the Wen family......
They are all relatives, not only the female guests came to the courtyard of the eldest princess of Nanyang, but also the male guests came here to watch the ceremony. Among these people, except for the eldest princess of Beiyang, all of them are younger than the eldest princess of Nanyang. Therefore, only the eldest princess of Beiyang came, and the eldest princess of Nanyang would get up to greet her. Everyone else was greeted by Chai Jun and his wife at the door and came to greet the eldest princess of Nanyang.
Xu Lanyin and Xu Lanzhou sat in the side room and waited, listening to the excitement in the hall. Today, the two sisters and brothers are dressed happily, Xu Lanyin is a long gown with red gold all over the place, wearing a red gold phoenix inlaid treasure hairpin and two jasper lotus hairpins, the clothes are the embroidery lady of the eldest princess's mansion these days, and the jewelry is rewarded by the eldest princess.
Xu Lanzhou wore a long red embroidered tuanhua armor, a cloud satin middle coat, a jade belt around his waist, a golden crown on his head, and a red gold ring. This outfit was also given by the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
Xu Lanzhou's nervous body trembled a little. whispered, "Sister, I'm afraid." ”
Xu Lanyin smiled, "Don't be afraid." When we kowtow and recognize our relatives, they are the grandsons and granddaughters of the eldest princess of Nanyang, and those people will become our relatives. ”
Although they are pseudo-relatives, it is better to have this relationship than not to have this relationship. Those real royal relatives will definitely look down on them, except for the Beiyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, there will definitely be intersections, and other families will have less or no contact in the future.
The two whispered quietly, and Chai Jingjing walked in.
She whispered to Xu Lanyin, "Cousin, Wang Jin, the grandson of the eldest princess of Beiyang, is also here, you should pay attention to him." ”
After saying that, he walked out.
Xu Lanyin had already heard Chai Jun say some general information about the Eldest Princess of Beiyang's mansion, and she had two sons and one daughter. The second son is Wang Yi, and Wang Yi has an only son, Wang Jin. At the beginning, Xu Lanyin also saw Wang Jin once in the night market of Ningzhou Mansion.
It is said that Wang Jin is spoiled arrogantly and arrogantly, and likes to be as beautiful as his father......
"Sister, what do you mean by Miss Chai's words?" Xu Lanzhou asked worriedly.
Xu Lanyin said, "No matter what it means, let's stay away from that person." ”
Mama Li came in and said with a smile, "Cousin, cousin, the guests are here, eldest princess, you go out to see the ceremony." ”
The eldest princess of Nanyang said to the guests that because Xu Lan rescued and adopted Chai Zixiao, Chai Zixiao was able to get out of the sea of suffering and return home. And because Xu Lanyin and his mother Qin treated Chai Zixiao like a relative, Chai Zixiao quickly forgot the pain and was as happy and healthy as a normal child. Therefore, in order to repay Xu Lanyin and her mother, she decided to recognize Xu Lanyin's mother Qin as her righteous daughter.
All the guests didn't understand, Xu Lanyin was here, her mother was not here, and it was more reasonable for Xu Lanyin to recognize Chai Rong and his wife as his father-in-law. However, I wondered and didn't say anything.
