Chapter 30: Congratulatory Gifts
The news of the divorce between the eldest prince of Shangfu and the second lady of Zhoufu spread all over Shengjing at once, and when everyone was speculating about the reason, Shangshufu suddenly opened up, and within a few days, the entire mansion was hung with red lanterns, completely festive.
Seeing such a scene in Shangfu, people finally found a satisfactory result for their original guess, and for a while, Shang Dagongzi liked the new and hated the old to marry her, and rumors such as Miss Tuesday's tragic abandonment arose. The storyteller of the teahouse even more effortlessly wrote down the divorce of Shangfu into a notebook, from morning to night, with a few tears when he was emotional, and he was stunned to say that I, the second lady of Zhou Fu, was the most pitiful woman in Kyoto.
Although everyone is distressed about this second miss of Zhou Mansion, I myself am not half decadent, I still hide in the mansion every day to spend happily, and in my spare time, I also counted and packed all the dowry gifts sent by Shangshu Mansion one by one, ready to return a big gift to the Shang family. Since you Shangfu was so loving at the beginning, then I can't lose the bearing of the Zhou Mansion today.
Daddy He Niang took care of my emotions and didn't interfere too much with my behavior, but just let Sandalwood guard me every step of the way. Ling Qi was also busy working in the courtyard every day, silently transforming the original martial arts practice field into a small garden, planting many plants that I had never seen before, sandalwood said that these plants can ensure that my yard has the fragrance of flowers all year round, I didn't expect that Ling Qi, a person who practices martial arts, can actually put such a mind to me for me.
"When this is done, I want to leave the capital for a while." I looked at Ling Qi, who was thinking about Luozi on the other side, and said.
"Leave? Where does the young lady want to go? Ling Qi, who heard me say this, was suddenly stunned, looked up at me and asked.
"I haven't figured it out yet, but I've seen too much of the red walls and green tiles of Kyoto, so I want to see the outside world."
"The lord and the lady will not allow it." Ling Qi lowered his head and said coldly, then put the chess pieces in his hand into the chessboard. "Miss, you've lost."
"Ling Qi, I'll be serious with you, how can you still have the heart to play chess." Seeing Ling Qi's reaction like this, I threw the chess pieces in my hand and pretended to be angry.
In fact, many times I doubted Ling Qi's true identity, and I always felt that the arrogance revealed in his bones was far from the lowly status he had said when he entered the mansion. And when practicing martial arts with me, I can also clearly feel that he is deliberately suppressing his own moves, I suspect that Ling Qi's real martial arts are not under Shang Wen, it seems that I still have to find a chance to investigate.
"I'm just joking when I'm only the second lady." Ling Qi was not affected by my anger, he just lowered his head and replied to me while collecting chess: "Moreover, talking does not affect me playing chess with Miss. ”
"What if I say I'm not kidding?"
"Then Sandalwood and I will follow the second miss."
"Aren't you afraid of the lord and the lady?"
"Ling Qi's job in this mansion is to protect the second miss, so naturally I will follow the young lady wherever she goes." Haha, I didn't expect Ling Qi to be able to say such useful words.
"Is it okay to do anything?"
"Second Miss, rest assured, Ling Qi will naturally do what she says."
"What if, I say I'm going to the Northern Song Dynasty?" I stared at Ling Qi and said.
Probably didn't expect that I would suddenly mention the Northern Song Dynasty, Ling Qi was silent for a while, I looked at Ling Qi's panicked expression, it seems that his origin is not much different from what I thought.
"Okay, I'm kidding, as for where you want to go, you'll know in a few days."
"Yes."
"Go ahead, help me prepare for tomorrow's carriage."
"Yes."
After Ling Qi left, I also got up and walked to the room. Tomorrow is the wedding day of Shangwen and Ruyi Gege, and I have to confirm my congratulatory gift one last time.
Early the next morning, I hid from my father and mother and changed into sandalwood clothes and slipped out of the house.
"Ten miles of red makeup to welcome Zhuohua, realize the dream of Qingqing's daughter." I looked at the wedding procession that spread for ten miles and whispered to myself.
When I came back to my senses, I saw Princess Ruyi's red makeup team, accompanied all the way, fiery red wedding dress, phoenix crown and xia curtain, thousands of sedan chairs, gold and silver bars, pearl and jade golden hairpins, silk Luo brocade quilt, mighty, the sound of gongs and drums was deafening, and she fell into the country and the city under the red hijab.
"Miss, are you alright?" Sandalwood asked, worryingly tugging at my shirt.
"It's okay, let's go to Shangshu Mansion." I glanced at Shang Wen at the front of the line, pulled Sandalwood and turned to retreat out of the crowd.
When I arrived, Shangshufu was already in a mess, and all the people who came to congratulate were gathered at the entrance of the gate to watch, plus the ordinary people who came to see the excitement, and for a while the gate of Shangfu fell into a crowded scene.
I pulled sandalwood and squeezed to the front, watching the chief housekeeper of Shangfu negotiate with Ling Qi, hoping that Ling Qi could return all the congratulatory gifts from the Zhou Mansion, or register them later, which meant that the congratulatory gift I sent blocked the gate of Shangfu.
It's not just blocking the door, I want to slap my face.
"No, the second lady of my family said that although she has no fate with the eldest prince of Shangfu, she has known each other for a while, so naturally she can't ignore the wedding of the eldest prince of Shang, this is not the same as etiquette, right! Besides, these are the dowry gifts that the engagement fashion house gave to my young lady. Now that the marriage has been divorced, this dowry is naturally returned by my young lady, and everyone present said yes! Shang Wen deliberately said loudly to the people around him.
"Yes, yes, Miss Fu Er is really good this week."
"Isn't it, this eldest prince has changed his mind, and the second miss of Zhou Fu can still send such a congratulatory gift, which can be described as affectionate and righteous!"
"That's it, Shangfu can't live up to the kindness of the second lady!"
"Take it, after all, it's the kindness of the second lady of the family"
Driven by Ling Qi, the crowd became restless for a while. Poof, I really didn't expect Ling Qi to have such a hand, I originally just wanted to be angry with Ruyige, but now it seems that it has a different effect.
Looking at the people around him talking about it, the chief housekeeper of Shangfu suddenly had no idea, after all, whether the Zhou Mansion received this gift or not had already slapped the Shang family's face, and besides, Ruyi's wedding was about to arrive, I really hope she could see this congratulatory gift of her dowry specifications.
"Let's go back, I guess it's enough for them to register for a while." After seeing the result I wanted, I pulled Sandalwood out of the crowd and walked towards Zhou's house.
"Second Miss's trick is really high, it's just that I pity these cars of good things."
"What's pitiful, these were originally given by them, but I didn't expect them to be useful today." It is estimated that in two days, the reputation of the second lady of the Shang family who knows the general sense of righteousness should spread all over the streets and alleys.
"That's it, the slave maid also thinks that the second lady is doing the right thing, anyway, our Zhou Mansion is not short of these things."
The sound of suona is gradual......
Shang Wen, now that we are clear, I don't know how Ruyi Gege will feel when he sees the generous gift you promised me.
