278 Ask for care
Four flat boxes of different sizes of rosewood inlaid with eight treasures appear on the table.
Just looking at this beautifully painted gold inlaid red sandalwood box, it is worth hundreds of taels of silver. So, what kind of treasure is hidden inside? Although the Duchess of Xingguo is used to seeing the treasure house in the house, there are few times when she is shocked by the treasure and loses her mind, at this time, her eyes can't help but be a little interested and hot.
Seeing this, the Duchess of Dingguo pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, and said in her heart: The origin of a small family is indeed the origin of a small family...... She originally planned to let the maids continue to open the box, but at this time, her eyes rolled, she pressed the disdain in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Second brother and sister open it and take a look?" ”
Duchess Xingguo's eyes were glued to the box, and she subconsciously moved her hand, opened the first box, and couldn't help but let out a low cry, reaching out to take out the treasure in it and take a closer look.
This is actually a pearl pagoda made of pearl strings. The pearl tower is nearly a foot high with six floors, and a golden pearl the size of a dragon's eye is high on the spire, like a king looking down on the world; The pearl pagoda from the bottom up is made of countless pearls of extraordinary color and size, and each layer is more precious than the other! The pearl was shining, and the room was immediately full of pearls.
The Duchess of Xingguo has never seen such a treasure.
And, when combined, it's a work of art that is incredibly beautiful. In the future, if there is a shortage of flowers, I am afraid that every pearl on it can be sold for a lot of silver, right? Especially the golden pearl at the top is really rare...... And this six-story pagoda must have a total of thousands of pearls, right?
The Duchess of Xingguo couldn't help but think about it in her heart, holding the pagoda. Forget to let go.
"Let's take another look?" Duchess Dingguo smiled and pushed a new box. The husband of Xingguo reluctantly put the pearl pagoda into the box and put it away, and then opened another box.
The gifts prepared by the Duchess of Dingguo are all jeweled works of art.
In addition to the pearl pagoda, there is also a coral tree made of gold, which is golden and beautiful, and weighs several catties; There are also paintings inlaid with various gemstones; Then there is a fake flower, at first glance it is not surprising, if you look closely, you will find that the branches, leaves and flowers are all folded by silver tickets!
Duchess Xingguo gasped.
Those silver tickets finally made her sober up, and her face was suddenly ugly - could it be in the eyes of her eldest sister-in-law. She's just greedy for money! Humiliate her with these silver tickets!
She closed the box with a "snap", and asked the Duchess of Dingguo coldly: "Sister, what do you mean by this?" If it's for Vier's family...... Do you think I'm going to sell my son?! ”
The Duchess of Xingguo also opposed the marriage of the two families in the past, but they all said that it was due to "incompatible personalities" and other reasons, and they all saved face for the two families, and they had never said it so ugly!
What to sell sons!
It's like Wei Wei crying and begging that she can only marry Yang Guangnan!
The Duchess of Dingguo was also angry in her heart.
She looked at the Duchess of Xingguo with a smirk on her face. Said: "Listen to what the second brother and sister said...... I sent these things, I really want to ask my second brother and sister for something, how can I get involved in "selling my son"? Quang Nam is a good boy, if I use these things to impress your second brother and sister, wouldn't it be an insult to Quang Nam? Let's see where the second brother and sister want to go......"
When the Duchess of Xingguo heard this, she was slightly angry, and the Duchess of Dingguo pressed her on the chair and sat down. Caihu said hesitantly: "What is the matter with my sister, which the Dingguo Mansion can't do?" ”
The Duchess of Dingguo also sat down with a smile on her face. After sitting down, he sighed: "It's not for Wei'er......"
The Duchess of Xingguo mentioned it when she heard this, but just now she said something ugly, and the Duchess of Dingguo said that it was not for Wei Weisai to Yang Guangnan, so she reluctantly endured it and continued to listen.
"Wei'er is about to be twenty-one, second brother and sister, do you think I should be in a hurry?" When the Duchess of Dingguo said this, she was a motherly heart. said: "I took a fancy to Guangnan before, and it wasn't because of so many talented people in Shengjing. Only Quang Nam is the top one, and it is not much different from Wei'er? Wei'er is the daughter of the Guogong Mansion, the granddaughter of the eldest princess, and the cousin of the queen's mother, so she can't be a steproom, right? ”
The Duchess of Dingguo is sad and helpless in her love for her daughter, which makes people can't help but be moved. Moreover, the Duchess of Dingguo also praised Yang Guangnan and Yang Jinxin, which made the Duchess of Xingguo very useful, and she couldn't help but nodded, but she was still vigilant in her heart.
Duchess Dingguo wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "And the slightly decent talents are either married a long time ago, or they are several years younger than Wei'er...... I used to stare at Quang Nam, didn't there be no other way? Originally, I just wanted to kiss and kiss, but I didn't think about it...... Alas, don't talk about this, I'm afraid I'll upset my second brother and sister again. ”
Duchess Xingguo pursed her lips, a trace of disdain flashed in her heart, but she asked, "Listen to my sister...... Have you got a new idea? Having said that, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart: Could it be that Wei Wei could still find a talent better than Guangnan!
Duchess Dingguo cleaned up her mood, cheered up a little, leaned over and whispered to Duchess Xingguo: "I heard that there is going to be a draft today...... Isn't this just Vier's chance? Second brother and sister, don't you say? In this way, it is no longer a question of what age and the right person is the right person, is it? ”
"You want Wei'er to enter the palace!" Duchess Xingguo was shocked and looked at Duchess Dingguo in disbelief. With a high gate like them, they don't need to send their daughters into the palace at all...... Therefore, at this time, the Duchess of Xingguo was just shocked by the decision of the Duchess of Dingguo, and she did not think too much.
Duchess Dingguo pushed a few boxes on the table and said, "Wei'er has a simple temperament, and she will definitely need the queen to take care of her in the deep palace in the future...... These few small gifts are just for your second brother and sister ......"
The Duchess of Xingguo was a little confused in her mind at this time, looking at the jewels and the silver ticket flower, for a while, she didn't know what to say.
The Duchess of Dingguo was very considerate of her, so she took her leave and got up and said, "Wei'er's matter, please ask the second brother and sister to worry more." Then he didn't let the Duchess of Xingguo send her off, waved her hand and led people out of Mingsi Courtyard, looked at the blue sky outside, smiled, and went back to her yard.
- That stupid one, I'm afraid that the child will be stunned by those things, hehe.
The Duchess of Xingguo did sit in the hall and was stunned for most of the afternoon.
However, although she is not very smart and not vigilant, she has a good advantage, that is, whenever she encounters something slightly important, she never makes up her own mind - she will ask the eldest princess of Hongyue in internal affairs, and she will wait for the decision of Xingguo Gong in external affairs, and in recent years, many times, even daily trivial matters she likes to ask her eldest son Yang Guangnan.
The reason why she was stunned, in addition to being shaken by the baby on the table, was mainly weighing: Wei Wei wanted to enter the palace and ask the Duchess of Dingguo to take care of the queen, is this matter considered internal affairs or external affairs or just daily trivialities?
She was stunned for a long time before she asked people to put away these valuable boxes, changed her clothes, and took someone to Rongxiangtang - she felt that Wei Wei was the eldest princess's own granddaughter, and she naturally had to tell the eldest princess about her affairs.
In addition to her resolute insistence on Yang Guangnan's marriage, she is very willing to listen to her mother-in-law.
When I arrived at Rongxiang Hall, I saw Mother Yun in the small kitchen talking with the eldest princess of Hongyue, and the Duchess of Xingguo smiled on her face, walked over, and greeted her.
The eldest princess of the Red Moon was a little embarrassed on her face, but she was in good spirits. She saw the Duchess of Xingguo and said to her, "You came just in time, and there is something you need to arrange." I haven't been out for a long time, and I've been dreaming of your father for the past few days, and I remember that I haven't been to Dajue Temple to see him for a long time...... You arrange it, and these two days will pass. I used to stay for a few days, and I just had a good time. ”
Yang Fu lit the lantern for the old marquis in Dajue Temple.
At the same time, Dajue Temple is also the place where the eldest princess of the Red Moon and the old marquis met for the first time. Later, almost every year, as long as the old marquis was in Shengjing, he would go to live with the eldest princess of Hongyue to listen to Zen for a while.
The Duchess of Xingguo was slightly stunned when she heard this, and suggested: "Mother, do you want to go again after the Mid-Autumn Festival?" It's the eighth day of junior high school today, so time is tight, right? ”
The eldest princess of the Red Moon shook her head and said with some displeasure: "Isn't there still six or seven days?" Dajue Temple is not far away. Let people arrange, you arrange, how can there be so many words. ”
"Yes." The Duchess of Xingguo responded and asked, "Mother, do you think it is appropriate to travel the day after tomorrow?" The day after tomorrow is a good day for travel. Also, I wonder who your mother wants to bring with you to serve you? ”
The eldest princess of the red moon thought for a while and said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and you are also busy." Let the two children, Jinxin and Guangshou, accompany me. ”
actually only let the children of the third family follow...... Duchess Xingguo felt a little unjust in her heart, and said euphemistically: "Yes, mother." It's just that the kid in Guangdong has said a few times recently that he wants to go out of the city to relax, but I haven't let ...... Look, let him follow you? That way, I can rest assured. ”
Yang Guangdong is thirteen years old this year, and he is the son of the Duchess of Xingguo who has been empty for six or seven years.
Speaking of which, when Yang Guangdong turned twelve years old last year, Xingguo Gong also had the intention of letting his old subordinates escort him to follow the ancestral training to the battlefield to see it, but he didn't expect to be strongly opposed by the Xingguo Duchess, she was like crazy, no matter what others said, whether it was moving out of the ancestral training, or analyzing that the Xiliang people would not be in any danger if the border was too peaceful, the Xingguo Duchess ate and lived with Yang Guangdong, for fear that Xingguo would secretly send Yang Guangdong away.
