Chapter 22: Throwing Face
Yu Wanning didn't say it explicitly, only blew the tea foam in the tea bowl and said this vaguely.
Zhao Qi is a smart person, after listening to Yu Wanning's words, he has already guessed what it is, and hurriedly threw the incense bait that was still pinched in his fingertips into the box, and closed the lid of the box.
"You don't have to worry."
Yu Wanning said lightly: "This incense bait needs to be melted with water, or mixed with other spices and burned, so it can be effective, so it's okay to hold it like this." ”
Rao is no matter how restrained and steady Zhao Qi is, after listening to Yu Wanning's words, the corners of his lips couldn't help twitching.
It is like the words of an eight-year-old girl, even an ordinary young woman, who could not have talked so casually about this spice with an unrelated man.
It's just that when he said this, Yu Wanning refused to say any more, and a pair of beautiful eyes swirled on Zhao Qi's face with a little scrutiny.
Zhao Qi thought about it for a while, and then guessed Yu Wanning's thoughts.
So he said: "The little one understands, the little one is taken to the west of the city to be sold, the young lady is the daughter of the boudoir, her status is valuable, and it has nothing to do with these things, but the little one needs money and gets these things to sell." ”
"Zhao Qi is really a smart person, talking to you is really worry-free."
Yu Wanning smiled with satisfaction: "The price, you can adjust it slowly from low to high, anyway, the raw materials are all purchased by you, and you know the cost best, so you can do it specifically." ”
"Yes."
Zhao Qi bowed slightly, and was about to retire.
But before the words came out, I saw Xue Jing come in with a baggage.
"Miss, the clothes are ready."
Xue Mirror opened the baggage, took out a stone blue dress and handed it to Zhao Qi.
"Steward Zhao has taken it, this is the young lady's reward for you."
"The little ones don't dare to be."
Zhao Qi hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself: "Miss is rewarded, the small one is useless, and I don't dare to accept it." ”
"It's just a piece of clothing, it's not a big reward."
Yu Wanning smiled at Zhao Qi soothingly: "If you want to go out on an errand, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to wear such shabby clothes, you can accept this clothes, besides, if you don't accept it, who should I wear such men's clothes?" ”
When Zhao Qi heard this, he knew that Yu Wanning was reasonable, so he thanked him and accepted it, and then picked up a small box of pills and spices that Moli had packed early in the morning and withdrew.
After Zhao Qi left, Xue Jing laughed out loud and said to Yu Wanning: "Miss, don't you know, Zhiqi's eyes are red and swollen, and the eye circles are so black that they seem to have drawn two circles with a pen. ”
Yu Wanning pursed her lips and smiled: "She knows the current affairs and doesn't dare to be a demon again." ”
"That's natural."
Xue Jing tidied up the room and said: "If a person does something wrong, he has to bear the consequences, like her, Miss just let her be grounded to do some needlework, which is already a great grace, she should always thank Miss for her generosity." ”
"Just your mouth is sweet......"
Yu Wanning was amused by Xue Jing's quick talk.
In fact, after the tragic death in the previous life, her heart has been as cold as iron, except for the people who are more important to her, she will not be tolerant and merciful to any enemy, but she just keeps Zhiqi, which is of some other use.
Besides, a stupid thing like Zhiqi can't make any waves even if he stays around, and he can't hurt Yu Wanning by half a point.
I remembered that there were a few military books that I had finished reading and wanted to return to Yu Deling's study.
Yu Wanning asked Mo Li to take the book and go to the middle courtyard with him.
At this time, the sky was already slightly dark, because she was busy with medicine and incense, Yu Wanning had been eating in her house for the past few days, and she didn't eat with her mother anymore, except for practicing horseback riding in the morning, she didn't see her father again.
When she entered the middle courtyard, she saw that the girls were busy and sent supper to the house, and Yu Wanning knew that her father had returned home after official business.
Thinking that he had already come, he simply went in and asked for a good time before leaving.
It's just that as soon as I entered the house, I felt that the atmosphere in the house was not quite right.
Father Yu Deling stretched his face, and sat there, and he didn't even look at the supper sent by the maids.
"My daughter asks Daddy for peace."
"Aning is here."
When Mrs. Yu saw Yu Wanning coming in, she said: "It's just the right time, look at your father, I don't know who is idle outside today, but he ran home to shake my face." ”
"Daddy, what's wrong?"
Yu Wanning took two steps forward and asked with concern.
"Hey, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense."
Yu Deling has always been unable to sink his face in front of his beloved daughter, so he smiled reluctantly.
"How can I shake my face with your aunt? It's just that when I met your uncle today, I mentioned the birthday of the queen, and I felt a little unhappy. ”
After Yu Deling said this, Yu Wanning remembered that the birthday of his aunt Queen Yu was more than a month away, and he remembered that before he got married in the previous life, every time every year, Daddy's mood was not very good, but Yu Deling was a kind person, no matter how unhappy he was, he never took out anger at everyone in the house, let alone shook his face at his wife.
This will be said by Ah Niang, obviously wanting Yu Wanning to coax Yu Deling, lest he always sulk and get angry.
"Although the time is near, but after all, there is still more than a month, and the days are still quite rich, my father instructed Aunt Sun to prepare the birthday gift, and send it to the palace when the time comes, you don't have to think about it, and you don't have to be unhappy."
"Alas, you are young, how can you understand the things here."
Yu Deling smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"The birthday gift is good to say, pick up good things and send them to the palace, although our Zhuangzi has not had a good harvest in the past two years, and the economy is a little tight, but it is not so poor that it can't afford to give a birthday gift, I am sorry for your aunt and your brothers and sisters, in the final analysis, after all, it is because of me......"
Seeing Yu Deling's sad and self-blaming face, Yu Wanning hurriedly gave him a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup and comforted him softly.
"Daddy don't worry, as the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, no matter whose future is, after all, we have to rely on ourselves to earn, since there are no nieces and nephews in the eyes of the queen, we can fight for ourselves and don't have to rely on her charity."
Yu Wanning said this, in fact, for a reason.
Today's Queen Yu is the eldest daughter of the Yu family, and Yu Dehai, the second assistant of the dynasty, is the second son, because the two are both sisters and brothers, so the relationship is very good.
Although Yu Deling is a younger brother, he is a concubine, and he has never been treated by Queen Yu.
According to the usual etiquette, since ancient times, no matter whose daughter has become a queen, she will carry some brothers and nephews of her mother's family.
It's just that Queen Yu only has one son and two daughters under her uncle Yu Dehai in her eyes, and she never pays attention to the children of her cousin Yu Deling.
