Chapter 82: A Valuable Birthday Gift
On Gong Xiangling's birthday, there were more people who came than that day of the spring banquet. Lin Jiujiu and Wen Yuandao were in a carriage, and there was a traffic jam four or five hundred meters away from the palace.
This is the first time that Lin Jiujiu has been stuck in a traffic jam in ancient times, and he heard the neighing of the horses, mixed with the scolding of the coachman, which is even more lively than the modern traffic jam.
She lifted the curtain, and although there was no smell of gasoline outside, it was dusty.
She quickly closed the curtains, but she still choked on the dust.
After waiting for a long time, the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, and when Lin Jiujiu got out of the car, he saw a large string of carriages behind him. She was just about to go in when she was bumped in.
"Eh, I'm sorry."
Lin Jiujiu's brain hurt when he heard this voice, there are really willow pearls everywhere, have you forgotten the previous lessons? She really didn't have the heart to pay attention to Willow Pearl, so she walked inside.
The willow pearl seemed to be wrapped around Lin Jiujiu, and just as he was about to move forward, he heard a majestic voice behind him: "Zhu'er." ”
It was Mrs. Liu who arrived.
Liu Pearl watched Lin Jiujiu leave, feeling depressed in her heart.
"Mother, look at her arrogant appearance." Liu Pearl stomped her foot, looking unwilling.
Today is Gong Xiangling's birthday, and I heard that Lin Jiujiu personally invited her in late autumn, which really made her unwilling. Think about yourself, I was planted in the palace before, and if it wasn't for Mrs. Liu's intercession today, I wouldn't have come to such an occasion.
In such a comparison, Liu Zhuzhu's hatred for Lin Jiujiu is even heavier.
"Give me some peace today." Madame Liu glared at Liu Zhu, "If you make trouble for me again, don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”
Mrs. Liu rarely treated her so fiercely, although Liu Pearl felt uncomfortable, she also knew that Mrs. Liu was not joking, so she quickly lowered her head and agreed obediently.
Lin Jiujiu entered the mansion, this late autumn was different from before, she just arrived in the backyard and came out to greet her.
"My sister came so early today."
In late autumn, she is dressed in a costume today, although she is an aunt, but because there is no hostess in the palace, although the standard of her clothes is not as good as that of the princess, but it is almost the same as that of the side concubine, which shows how much she is loved by Gong Xiangling.
"If there is no traffic jam at the door, then my sister will come earlier." Lin Jiujiu replied with a smile, and then took the birthday gift he had prepared from the hand of fifteen behind him, "This is a little caution from my sister, I hope the prince and my sister will accept it with a smile." ”
Lin Jiujiu prepared the ornament of blood coral.
This kind of coral is extremely difficult to find, especially the color of the one in Lin Jiujiu's hand, which is simply hard to buy.
As soon as the gift was brought out, the eyes of the onlookers straightened.
I all know that the proprietress of Tianxianglou is rich, but I didn't expect that she would be so well-connected and find such a good thing. But think about it, this Lin Jiujiu is still Yu Wenhao's friend, so it's not so strange to be able to get this thing.
"My sister is so polite." Late autumn was naturally more knowledgeable, and people only saw a blood coral, but she found that the base of the blood coral was carved from a whole piece of agate, and the carving was even more lifelike, and the eyes of the animals on it were all inlaid with gemstones. Compared to this pot, the blood coral is completely inadequate.
"I'm embarrassed to take this thing out and give it away."
A voice sounded, although it was very soft, but the scene was originally silent because of the amazement of the gift given by Lin Jiujiu, and this voice was very abrupt.
Late Autumn glanced lazily at the past, and was facing the head of the willow pearl that was hurriedly lowered.
Madame Liu glared at her and walked in front of Late Autumn. Seeing the blood coral in Late Autumn's hand, he naturally noticed the priceless base.
In comparison, the pure golden longevity peach given by himself is not enough to see at all. It is said that gold has a price and jade is priceless, not to mention that people give gemstones that are more valuable than jade.
"Oh, I don't know what Miss Liu thinks?"
Late Autumn glanced at it obliquely, and saw that Liu Pearl hung her head and didn't dare to let go of half a fart.
"Sister, since Miss Liu said so, there must be other birthday gifts, and my sister is really not enough to see." Lin Jiujiu fanned the flames on the side.
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Liu felt that she couldn't give her birthday gift even more.
She clenched the handkerchief in her hand, gritted her teeth, and said, "My thing is too big to bring with me for a while." Wait a minute, the maid will send it over. ”
"Mrs. Liu is really polite."
Although Wanqiu said polite words, her expression was very cold, and after finishing speaking, she left with Lin Jiujiu.
Watching the two leave hand in hand, Liu Pearl was so angry.
"Mother, how can a concubine have such a big face! Also, our birthday gift hasn't been brought, why don't we take it out! ”
Before the words fell, Mrs. Liu glanced at him fiercely: "What do you know!" The thing that Lin Jiujiu gave can't be worth even a hundred golden longevity peaches! And that late autumn is now being favored, if you offend her, your father will not be able to protect himself! ”
Liu Pearl didn't care about her father at all, all she thought about was Lin Jiujiu's ornament of blood coral. Isn't it just an ordinary thing, how can it be so valuable.
But looking at her mother's thoughtful expression, Liu Pearl didn't dare to say anything questioning, so she could only hold it in her heart secretly.
Here, Lin Jiujiu followed Wanqiu into the door of the small hall.
In late autumn, the maid carefully took down the gift given by Lin Jiujiu, and then sat on the chair and said angrily: "Liu Zhengdao is not a fool, how could he give birth to such a stupid daughter!" ”
"The dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of them different." Lin Jiujiu was still smiling. For her, it was too late for Liu Pearl to be happy in her heart.
originally thought that after such a long time, Liu Pearl could become a little smarter no matter how she said it, but she didn't expect that after such a long time, she didn't change at all.
"Also, this Liu Pearl is also spoiled, and she is not as well-behaved and sensible as his concubines." Wanqiu suddenly sighed, "It's not a secret, the prince has been thinking about marrying Prime Minister Liu, and those concubines are also good-looking, and they are hesitating to choose which one to choose these days." ”
Lin Jiujiu was shocked.
Liu Pearl is only twenty-eight years old, and those concubines are estimated to be at this age, and Gong Xiangling is really taboo now. And what surprised her even more was - "Does Prime Minister Yoo agree?" ”
Wanqiu gave her a strange look: "Why don't you agree with this?" ”
"What about you, sister?"
It is said that men only see the newcomer laughing and don't hear the old crying, if Gong Xiangling marries a concubine, where will the autumn go? Haven't all your efforts been in vain?
Late autumn thought that Lin Jiujiu was worried about her, and a layer of warmth floated in her heart: "Sister, don't worry, if my sister is a servant, there will be no place for me in this palace long ago." ”
When she said this, a cold glint flashed in Late Autumn's eyes. Lin Jiujiu knew that even if the daughter of the Liu family entered the door, her life would not be easy, not to mention the red face and white hair, and she had to deal with the open and secret battles in this mansion, which was really pitiful.
