Chapter Eighty-One—Giving Three Points to Show Generosity
After a few more steps, Guo Tingfang didn't open her mouth Zhang Xiyue suddenly smiled, Guo Tingfang looked over in surprise, "Sister Xiyue, what's so funny?" ”
"It's nothing," Zhang Xiyue said: "I suddenly remembered that when I was in Beiping, my house was really not far from Yanwang's Mansion, just across the street, I didn't expect to come all the way here to know you, sometimes it's really a trick!"
"This is also fate, right..."Guo Tingfang swept her, "Sister Xiyue, it's strange that I'm looking for you but haven't spoken for a long time, right?" ”
"Well, a little."
"To be honest, I didn't think about what to say... I'm afraid that you will misunderstand me to stir up the relationship, but I am afraid that you will not be deeply involved in the world and suffer the losses of others. ”
Zhang Xiyue sneered in her heart, secretly thinking that you are here to stir up trouble, and you are still making some high-sounding rhetoric here. There was a sincere expression on his face, "Why did my sister say that?"
My sister has been very good to me since I entered the house, you are the most trustworthy person I have here, how can I misunderstand my sister? ”
"Sister, I'm relieved if you say that." Guo Tingfang took her hand and said, "I went to Concubine Tan before coming here, and Concubine Tan saw me crying bitterly and said that she had gone too far before, and today thanks to you for saving her regardless of your previous suspicions..."
"Oh..."Zhang Xiyue thought to herself, I believe in your size! Tan Yurong cried bitterly? I wouldn't believe it if I said it, but... Why did she suddenly help Tan Yurong say good things?
"Concubine Tan said thank you very much, I want to abandon my previous suspicions with you and be a good sister, and I will definitely treat you well in the future."
"That's a good dare, they are sisters, how good it is for everyone to be happy together."
Guo Tingfang seemed to hesitate for a moment and asked, "She said this... Can you believe it? ”
Zhang Xiyue looked back at her in a daze, "Sister, shouldn't I believe it?" ”
"Alas... I'm afraid that you are too easy to trust people," Guo Tingfang said earnestly: "Many people speak differently, saying one thing and doing another behind their backs.
My sister can't be too naïve, let's say Concubine Tan! She... Alas, I really can't say this, I can only persuade my sister to pay more attention! ”
Zhang Xiyue understood the purpose of her coming, and pretended to be puzzled: "Sister, what else can't we say if only the two of us here?"
"Some words... I can't be particular about people behind my back! In short, you must not believe everything people say, people... You have to take your time. ”
"Oh... Thank you sister, I remembered. ”
At this time, the two of them circled around the west building, and just returned to the front of the building, Guo Tingfang said goodbye and went back.
Zhang Xiyue waved goodbye to her, and Yin Xiaotao leaned over and asked, "Miss, this Concubine Guo is very snobbish!" In the past, when we lived in the backyard, we didn't see her once, and as soon as we moved back to the West Building, she came twice after half a day. ”
Zhang Xiyue smiled slightly, "You are really wrong about this, Guo Tingfang is not snobbish at all... She's bad, she's fanning the flames between me and Tan Yurong, let's fight. If I pull Tan Yurong down, she can sit in the position of the concubine with Princess Jiaxing. ”
"Oh, she's so bad... I can't let her get away with it! Miss, you give birth to a little prince quickly. ”
"Phew! I said that if you are born, you can give birth? The two people turned around and entered the building, and as soon as they reached the door of the building, there was a sudden noise.
Turning his head to see a lot of people coming this way, the first was the chief manager Zhou Puxin, followed by more than a dozen male servants, some carrying burdens, some backpacks, and some holding things.
"What is this for?" Yin Xiaotao muttered, "It seems to be coming to us, Miss... Send us something! ”
"Like! You are waiting here..."Zhang Xiyue stepped into the building, went inside, sat down to drink water, and listened to the movement outside.
The noise was really coming from this side, and after a while, when he arrived at the front of the building, Zhou Puxin's voice asked, "Is Mrs. Zhang here?" These things were given to Mrs. by the prince, and I didn't dare to delay for a moment to send them over. ”
Yin Xiaotao said: "Wait a minute! I'll go tell Miss. ”
Immediately, Yin Xiaotao came in with a curtain on her face, with an uncontrollable smile on her face, "Miss, you really sent us something." ”
Zhang Xiyue smiled and nodded, "Let them move in!" Yin Xiaotao went out to speak, and Zhou Puxin brought people in.
Zhou Puxin limped to the front and respectfully saluted Zhang Xiyue, and said: "The villain has offended Mrs. a lot before, and the prince has punished the villain heavily, and almost broke the villain's leg, please forgive the villain a lot!"
Zhang Xiyue waved her hand lightly, "Forget about the past, I believe that is not the original intention of Manager Zhou." ”
"Thank you, madam, you are really a virtuous housewife." Zhou Puxin took a step back, waved his hand, and said, "Move all the things over and let Madame see them."
More than a dozen male servants stepped forward in turn and showed Zhang Xiyue the same things.
First of all, there are two large brocade boxes, which are full of various jewelry, pearl necklaces, pure gold hairpins, purple gold bracelets, white jade bracelets, tourmaline rings... All sorts of dazzling eyes.
Among them, the pearl necklace and the nine-ring jade bracelet are the most valuable, the bead chain is made of pure white eastern beads, each pearl is the size of a thumb belly, full and round and shining, and there is a pigeon's egg size of bloodstone falling below.
The nine-ring jade bracelet is even more peculiar, the bracelet has a total of nine strands intertwined with each other, each strand can rotate freely, Zhou Puxin said that it is carved out of a whole piece of white jade hollow, and only the salary is enough for ordinary people to eat for a lifetime.
What is next, what is Jade Ruyi, Jin Saotou, the pure wool tapestry of the Western Regions, the horse of Tang Sancai, the gall bottle of Ge Yao, the Qinghua jar of the Yuan Dynasty, and ten colored satin, twenty white silk, and five lake silk... In short, they are all rare. Before Zhou Puxin left, he left behind two old mothers and two male servants.
After everyone left, Yin Xiaotao looked at the things on the table and the floor and smiled from ear to ear, "Miss, I understand why they are willing to be related to the emperor's family, there are so many good things!" ”
Zhang Xiyue smiled: "Look at my little bit of talent, this is a good thing?" Go and find Yuan Gongzi. ”
Fang Zhong heard such a big formation in the building, and then walked in from outside the door, "Miss, I'm here!" ”
Zhang Xiyue said: "The prince has given so many things, we also have to let others see some benefits, you take the people outside to each of the three imperial concubines to send a lake silk, a colored satin, two white silk, and each family in the bottle and jar also sends one."
Fang Zhongyu promised Yin Xiaotao here but quit, pouted and said, "Miss, it's okay to do anything else, there are only five horses in total, and you can give three horses out at once?"
"Don't be petty... In the future, this thing will be more or less... ”
Fang Zhongyue took two male servants to send him over from house to house, and when he came back from Guo Tingfang, the sun had already set, and as soon as he finished replying, Zhu Gaochi came, and Zhang Xiyue asked him to inform the kitchen to cook two more dishes that the prince loved to eat.
Zhu Gaochi said while drinking water: "I have eaten enough of what they have made, and I like the crab roe lion head you made."
Zhang Xiyue smiled and said: "If the prince likes to eat concubines, I will make it for you, but the lion's head is greasy after all, so don't worry, I have an urgent matter that needs to be solved as soon as possible." ...
