"I can't do anything about my birthday, my grandmother means to let me concentrate on filial piety for my parents, and I said that it is three years, that is, three years, how can I slack off because of my birthday, if I celebrate my birthday on the mountain, my grandmother will definitely come to punish me, and then I am afraid that my sisters will have to be punished with me!"
Shao Wanru's long eyelashes flashed twice, and then slowly raised, the corners of her lips as beautiful as cherry blossoms were slightly hooked, revealing a coquettishness that naturally flowed from her bones, but she didn't realize it, there was a purity between her eyes, and that kind of indescribable beauty made her mother-in-law can't help lowering her eyes, and she didn't dare to look directly at her beauty.
"But Mrs. Tai means to let a few young ladies accompany you, you are going back to the house next, and you have never been close to a few young ladies, Mrs. Tai is afraid that you will have a share when the time comes!"
Suppressing the amazement in her heart, the mother-in-law persuaded again.
Shao Wanru mocked in her heart, what this lady said seemed to be really thinking about herself, if she was really thinking about herself, how could she suddenly come out like this when she was about to achieve filial piety for three years, and what did she say to accompany her filial piety together, stepping on herself is not enough, and she wants to pass on her reputation to those young ladies in the Xingguo Mansion through herself.
This idea is very good, and it will take three years of his own time to complete Shao Yanru's reputation, and for such a Xingguo Mansion, Shao Wanru has no affection.
But now is not the time to tear her face, she will definitely let them pay back what she owes her sisters and brothers!
"This is the ...... I can't be the master, if Mrs. Tai must insist, then go and discuss with my grandmother, if my grandmother directly reprimands a few sisters at that time, it will not be good! โ
Shao Wanru's eyes were faint, his eyes fell on his hand, and he carefully examined the words he wrote, very carelessly.
What kind of person is the eldest princess of Ryan, the people in the entire capital know that they will not save face when they see anything they are not used to, and it is a trivial matter to reprimand them directly, and it is possible to drive people away without giving face, if this eldest princess really reprimanded a few young ladies of her own family, it would be a very embarrassing thing.
Mother-in-law can't be the master anymore!
Seeing that the mother-in-law was speechless for a while, Shao Wanru said again: "What should I do, you should go back to the house and ask Mrs. Tai what she means!" If I can get my grandmother's consent, I will obey the orders of my elders! โ
Because of the fire in the Xingguo Mansion at the beginning, my grandmother had the right to talk about her own affairs, and even my grandmother asked for part of her right to speak about her marriage in front of the Queen Mother, which originally represented the weakness of Mrs. Xingguo Mansion to her grandmother.
She didn't believe that Mrs. Tai really dared to discuss this matter with her grandmother!
"Yes, the slave and maid go back to report to Mrs. Tai, the slave and maid have one more thing, this is Mrs. Tai to the fifth lady!" The mother-in-law said helplessly, she really can't be the master of this matter, and reached out to take out a small brocade box from the cuff and send it.
Yujie stepped forward to take it and sent it to Shao Wanru.
Shao Wanru looked at the brocade box in Yujie's hand, and did not stretch out his hand, but said lightly: "Open it!" โ
Yu Jie opened it according to the order, and it was actually a long-life lock, and she blinked her eyes and didn't understand what it meant, so she only looked at Shao Wanru.
Shao Wanru put down the paper in his hand, reached out and took out the longevity lock from the box, looked at it, and found that it was a longevity lock worn by a child, looking like this, it was still some years old, it was very exquisitely made, pure gold, and it was inlaid with a ruby and two opals.
After looking through it a few times, he didn't find anything before he raised his head and said, "This ...... Why did Mrs. Tai give it to me? โ
"When the little masters in the house were young, Mrs. Tai gave away such a long-life lock, but the fifth lady didn't grow up with Mrs. Tai since she was a child, so although this long-life lock was made early, it was never given to you!" The mother-in-law laughed.
"Got it early? Did you know that there was such a person as me? โ
Shao Wanru looked through it a few more times, and finally saw a small word "such as" in the thinnest corner of the corner, which was really her own!
It's just that the word "such as" is very new, and it looks like it has been carved recently.
"When the county lord of Qinghua married the prince, when he was married, Mrs. Tai was ready early, ready to wait for the fifth lady to be born, and then the prince and the county lord left, this longevity lock has been placed next to Mrs. Tai, and then the county lord came back, and his body was not good, Mrs. Tai prayed for Young Master Hao and made a new one, and now that the fifth lady is back, this longevity lock is just for the fifth miss!"
The mother-in-law explained the cause and effect with a smile, and was afraid that Shao Wanru would feel unlucky, so she said: "The longevity locks configured in the house are all like this, and Young Master Hao's is also this style." โ
What did I say to pray for blessings and did it again, but I felt that the previous one was very unlucky, and the mother-in-law's explanation was even more like this.
"Thank you for me, Mrs. Tai!" Shao Wanru doesn't care about this now.
"Fifth Miss is polite, the slave maid will go back first, and then come over to report to Fifth Miss after Mrs. Tai and Princess Ruian have discussed."
The mother-in-law said with a smile, not at all annoyed by the fact that things had not been done, and her eyes quickly glanced at everything in the quiet room.
There were few things that could be seen clearly at a glance, even the box covered with a blanket in the corner.
Shao Wanru didn't speak this time, just waved her hand, and the mother-in-law respectfully retreated, and carefully retreated outside the quiet room before turning her eyes and walking out.
"Miss, what do you mean by that?" Yujie looked at the back of her mother-in-law leaving, and then looked at the longevity lock in her own lady's hand, the young lady is so old, is it difficult to carry this longevity lock!
"Yujie, look at it!" Shao Wanru smiled slightly and handed the longevity lock in his hand to Yu Jie.
Yujie took it, picked it up and flipped it over, but she didn't see anything, only saw a small "Ru" in the corner of the longevity lock in front of her, which of course represented her own miss.
"Miss, the slave can't see it!" Yujie shook her head in confusion, she looked through it several times in a row, and subconsciously felt that there was a problem here, but there was no problem.
"You sniff between your noses!" Shao Wanru reminded her, and with her hand back, her jet-black hair fell down on her shoulders, and she had only pinned it with a hairpin on the top of her hair.
Yu Jie picked up the longevity lock and put it between her nose and sniffed it gently, if there was a breath, if it wasn't for Shao Wanru reminding her, she might not be able to smell it, and if she got closer, it was indeed a very light breath, almost no, a little sweet, but it didn't seem to be, it felt a little strange, but it was not a medicinal herb that Yu Jie was familiar with.
"Miss, what is this?" Yujie was surprised, she was still very sensitive to the smell of some Chinese medicines, and the current smell should not be the taste of Chinese medicine.
"I don't know!" Shao Wanru shook her head, she was just sitting at the window, and she didn't find anything originally, but in the process of flipping through the pages, suddenly there was a faint smell between her noses, very faint, so faint that she could hardly smell it, if she hadn't been interested in Mrs. Tai's things, I am afraid she would just think that some smells wafting from the window, or the smell of the box itself.
It's not the taste of Chinese medicine that makes people wary, but it seems to be a floral fragrance when you taste it.
Some of the flowers in autumn have already bloomed, and the most fragrant is the smell of osmanthus and the like, and this taste is lighter than osmanthus I don't know how much.
"Miss, this ...... What to do? Yujie shook her head, flipped over the longevity lock in her hand, and asked.
Shao Wanru suddenly sat up straight, reached out and picked up the box placed on the ground, and when he picked it up, he immediately found that the smell in the box was much stronger than the taste of the longevity lock.
It's sweet, but it seems to have some peculiar smell, which doesn't smell good, but it's not particularly unpleasant.
The box is not big, but it is enough to hold a longevity lock, and it does seem that the kind of box that contains the longevity lock, the size and shape are very suitable, and it looks like it has been for some years.
"Put it away first! Put the box on the outside of the box and wrap it in a cloth again! Send it to my grandmother! Shao Wanru thought about it and said, she didn't know it didn't mean that her grandmother didn't know.
In the last life, she was locked in the backyard, and in this life, she didn't have long since she arrived in Beijing, and it was normal that she didn't know some strange things, and the only thing she was sure of was that Mrs. Tai would not have any good intentions towards her.
"Yes, the slave will go to the eldest princess's mansion in a while!" Yujie nodded, put the longevity lock in her hand into the box, and then closed it carefully.
"Miss, the slave maid went down the mountain to ask Aunt Dong before, and Aunt Dong also inquired, saying that there is an order from the Xingguo Mansion, there are separate buckles and embroidered edges, and there is more than one, since this Miss Shao returned to the Xingguo Mansion, these orders will appear from time to time, although it is not clear which one, but this kind of buckle and embroidery should be the most popular a year ago."
Yujie put the box aside first, pulled out a box from the push she had just brought in, and took out the previous set of clothes from it.
This unclear answer, Shao Wanru is not surprised, Shao Yanruruo is not an easy person to deal with, if it weren't for the fact that she died in her hands in the last life, I am afraid that in the end, I may not suspect that she is the last black hand.
Anything seems to have her, but there is always no evidence of her meddling, this is Shao Yanru.
"Where's the material?"
"Aunt Dong said that there are not many materials here, it should be an offering, but this kind of offering may not be available in other mansions, there must be in the Xingguo Mansion, but this kind of existence can be said to be made by Miss Shao, or it can be said that you made it, after all, you are also the fifth lady of the Xingguo Mansion now!"
Yujie said the original words of Aunt Dong.
Therefore, it is not visible from the material.
The water eyes raised slightly, and there was a trace of mist at the bottom of her eyes, covering up all her emotions, and it was impossible to check, sure enough, it was Shao Yanru who made a move, otherwise it would not be so secretive, as if all the roads that could be checked were closed.
Stretched out her hand and pulled a piece of material at the collar, before this she also asked Yujie to ask this piece of material, a very small piece, only on the corner of the collar: "This piece of material is colorful yarn?" โ
