Chapter 39: Lobbying the Concubine (1)
Concubine Pei took her hand and sat down in front of the chair, and while instructing the palace servants to pour tea, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Although it is not completely good, it is half better!" ”
Ye Mengmeng was surprised and delighted: "Really? Mother, no wonder I see that your face is much better, as if you are ten years younger. On the one hand, I secretly admired Ye Jingjing in my heart, although the woman had a little green tea, she still had some real skills, and just such a pair of medicines almost cured the concubine's stubborn illness for more than ten years.
Concubine Pei smiled: "Naturally true, in the past half a month, my waist is no longer sore, my legs are not weak, I am also strong when I walk, and even my old problem insomnia has improved a lot, so I let Li'er take you into the palace." There are two reasons for entering the palace, one is that I want you to take the pulse again and prescribe a few more medicines, and second, the palace has already said that if the palace is cured, there will be a lot of rewards. Although there are no priceless treasures here in the main palace, there are many things that the little girls like. You can take a look and see what you like? ”
Where did Ye Mengmeng dare to ask for her things? immediately said: "Niangniang is well, Mengmeng already has a sense of accomplishment, but I don't dare to ask for Niangniang's things casually...... Now, Meng Meng or do you want to probe the pulse for her mother first? ”
The palace slave had already prepared the pulse pillow, and Ye Mengmeng pretended to put her finger on Concubine Pei's pulse, and her face was serious.
After a long while, she let go of her hand and said with a smile on her face: "Congratulations to Niangniang, the condition is really much better." But to eradicate the roots, you need to take a few more pairs...... In this way, I will prescribe a few more blessings for my mother, and I will take it the same as before, three times a day, after meals. However, there are some words, Meng Meng can remind the mother that this disease depends on treatment for three points and seven points on nourishment, and you can pay attention to the meals on weekdays, and avoid eating spicy and cold, not only that, but also maintain a good mood. Can you write it down? ”
Concubine Pei listened with a smile and nodded.
After the prescription was prescribed, Concubine Pei instructed the personal palace maid to bring out a gilt dressing box with a very beautiful embroidered pattern.
"Mother, what is this?" Ye Mengmeng looked at the box curiously.
Concubine Pei smiled: "You open it first." ”
Ye Mengmeng hesitated for a moment, and had to open the box.
The moment the box was opened, Ye Mengmeng let out a "wow" sound, and she was almost blinded.
I saw that the box was filled with all kinds of gold, silver, jade, pearl and agate, and there were a variety of strange things, which made people dizzy.
Ye Mengmeng was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but pick it up and look at it the same, and was amazed.
"Wow, mother, these are your little coffers? Oh my boy, this is a priceless treasure! ”
Concubine Pei smiled and groaned: "What priceless treasure? It's just some gadgets, it's interesting to look at, but I'm an old woman who puts it away, what's the use? Why don't you little girls play with it? Do you have a favorite? ”
Ye Mengmeng said sincerely: "Niangniang, I like too many things." ”
Concubine Pei smiled: "In that case, I'll give you the whole box?" ”
Ye Mengmeng was so frightened that her hand shook, and the box almost fell to the ground.
With so many jewels, even if Concubine Pei really gave it, she didn't dare to ask for it.
Concubine Pei has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and her mother's family is not a wealthy family, where did she get so many treasures?
Needless to say, nine times out of ten, her only son left the night to his mother for safekeeping......
"Niangniang, I'm afraid that Meng Meng will not be blessed to suffer these baby ......"
"How can you not be blessed? You have cured the disease of this palace, but it is a great achievement, and no amount of jewelry can be overstated. ”
"This ......" Ye Mengmeng thought for a while, "Then let's do it, Niangniang, I'll just take this one." ”
"What?"
"That's it, Piggy Mirror!"
Concubine Pei took a look and saw that Ye Mengmeng was really holding a small glass mirror in her hand.
She smiled knowingly: "That's it, this glass mirror is a rare thing, and there will be no more than ten faces in the entire Southern Chu." The little girls love this thing the most. ”
In fact, for people who have traveled through modern times, mirrors are not rare, only seeing this mirror makes her inexplicably add a sense of nostalgia and think of her parents.
When I came here, I didn't know what was going on with my body over there, and my parents didn't know how to be sad.
sighed and whispered, "This mirror, it just makes me feel ......"
Seeing that her expression was suddenly a little depressed, Concubine Pei hurriedly said, "Since you like this glass mirror, then this small mirror belongs to you." ”
Ye Mengmeng smiled slightly, and no longer shirked, and took it generously.
"That's okay, you're welcome. Thank you, mother! ”
Concubine Pei smiled: "Thank you? It's nothing more than a gadget. Just that's it? ”
Ye Mengmeng smiled: "Enough, you can't play if you have more." ”
In fact, what she wanted to say was that she wanted it all, and she was afraid that the Night Yama King would settle accounts with her. She has given her all the belongings of her daughter-in-law, what will she take to marry her daughter-in-law?
By the way, marry a daughter-in-law? Her heart suddenly moved. With so much gold, silver and jewelry, I'm afraid it's a huge amount of money when converted into silver, right?
She pretended to be unintentional and asked, "Niangniang, you have so many jewels, it's useless to keep them, you haven't thought of using them to invest?" ”
"Cast ...... Capital? This is a new term, and Concubine Pei has obviously not heard of it.
"Yes, investment, simply put, is to make silver out of silver. Use this money to do something business, you can make a bigger profit! ”
"Doing business? The main palace doesn't need a lot of silver at all. Concubine Pei frowned. In Nanchu, the status of businessmen in the upper circle is still very low, and Concubine Pei is a little resistant from the bottom of her heart.
"That's wrong." Ye Meng looked at her cutely, and planned to persuade her with a three-inch tongue today. "I know that my mother has no desires and no desires, and she treats money as dung. But has Niangniang thought about the future of the prince? ”
"Lord Wang? Divorced? ”
"Yes. Niangniang only has this one son, right? ”
Concubine Pei nodded.
Ye Mengmeng said: "That's it." Niangniang, the prince has not married a wife yet, but Niangniang must be very concerned about his life's events, right? ”
"Of course."
"That's good, Niangniang, in the future, do you want the prince to marry a woman with a fairly good family background but an average family background, or a woman with a lot of wealth but an average family background?"
"Need you talk about this?" Concubine Pei did not hesitate in the slightest. "Of course, I will choose someone with the same appearance and family background."
Ye Mengmeng shook her head again and again: "Niangniang's words are wrong. ”
"What? Could Hongu be wrong? ”
"Niangniang's words are not wrong, with a character like the prince, he naturally has to choose a young lady who is worthy of him. But in this way, after the prince gets married, the young couple is only afraid that they will have a hard life. ”
