Chapter 30: Woe to the Dead

On the table of the Eight Immortals in the middle of the hall, dozens of boxes of exquisite sizes were densely arranged. Aunt Gao didn't let go of a tired silk bead Jin Feng, just waiting for Wanyun to come over, as if she had been waiting for a long time, and said with a slight anger: "Yun'er, come here, try this Jin Tian." ”

Aunt Cui's Wanping was only seven or eight years old, and she was overjoyed with a newly made red feather flower arrangement in the palace, and noisily asked Aunt Cui to wear the red feather flower arrangement on her head.

Wanyun walked up to Aunt Gao, bent her knees slightly, and Aunt Gao put the dot cui golden phoenix in the middle of Wanyun's bun, and looked at it beautifully in her heart. Aunt Li on the side flattered again and again: "My dear miss, tsk, I actually want to look like Yang Guifei." ”

When Aunt Gao heard Aunt Cui's words, her heart blossomed even more happily and became even more proud. said to the Bailiu clan: "We want this golden phoenix." ”

Aunt Cui originally expected Wanyun to try it and let her Wanping try it too, but she didn't expect Aunt Gao to give her a chance to buy such valuable jewelry? Aunt Gao doesn't pull out a dime on weekdays, how can she be willing to spend this money today? This tired silk golden phoenix has to say 100 taels?

When Aunt Cui was wondering, she saw Cuiliu respectfully handing Aunt Li a purple jade butterfly hairpin. At first glance, it was a rare object, and he complimented him and said: "This hairpin doesn't need money, so I will give it to Aunt Li." ”

Wanying sighed in her heart, how could such a valuable object be easily given away, as the saying goes: 'Nothing to be courteous is either a traitor or a thief.' I just waited for Aunt Li and Bai Liu's family to deal with this jade hairpin.

As soon as Aunt Gao saw the purple jade hairpin and the golden phoenix on Wanyun's head, compared the two, she knew that she was holding a second-class product, and she regretted that she was in a hurry.

Aunt Li didn't accept the purple jade hairpin, but said reservedly: "How can I take such valuable jewelry for nothing, I still explain the price, and our master can pay the bill." ”

Aunt Cui took over: "What does it mean for the master to pay the bill?" Aren't the things we buy privately on weekdays all our own money? ”

"Aunt Cui doesn't know, the second and third ladies are now waiting to be elected to the palace, and the eldest lady is also talking about matchmaking. These cleanups will be counted as dowries in the future, and of course your master will pay for them. Bai Liushi handed a pure gold step shake to Aunt Cui.

Gao, the two aunts of Li smiled heartily, and Aunt Cui understood the reason: "Feelings don't cost your own money?" No wonder one by one, the breath is bigger than the mouth. In this room, except for Wanting, who is from the old man's mansion, she spends her own money to join in the fun. Thinking of this, Aunt Li's heart felt like she had fallen into an ice cave, and she only felt that there were hard ice pegs all around, poking her heart fiercely.

was embarrassed for a moment, so he changed his charming smile and said: "The real master only cherishes his three sisters, but we Wanping is a cat cub who no one hurts, no one hurts, let's go, let's go, since the lord doesn't give us silver, I have to pay my own silver to make my daughter's makeup." After speaking, he made a helpless gesture to the people in the house, and said, "I will only double with our master in the future!" After saying that, he smiled a lot.

Everyone really laughed when they saw Aunt Cui's appearance, and they all laughed together.

"I was obviously a little annoyed when I saw Aunt Cui, why did it disappear in a blink of an eye?" Wanying only thought about it a little in her heart, and really thought that Aunt Cui's appearance was funny, and she laughed with everyone for a while.

Here, Aunt Li took the golden step shake, did not insert the belt into her hair bun, nor did she insert the belt into Wanping, but only asked Bai Liu's family: "How much silver is this step?" I'll go and get you some money. ”

After speaking, everyone laughed again, and Bai Liushi joked again and again, saying: "My good grandmother, you also said that if you make up money, then we will have to go to the street to ask for food." I deserve to be too much to talk about just now, and this hairpin is also given to grandma, only when I compensate grandma. ”

This Bailiu clan, who is teasing and selling jewelry in Beijing, is also well versed in the open and secret battles in the mansion, she was originally a shrewd and treacherous person, and the extra sentence just now was actually to relieve Aunt Li. Aunt Li has already understood this point.

This Bailiu clan is the younger sister of Liu Ge Lao, and before Liu Ge Lao came out, he was just a down-and-out scholar. His sister can only marry the Bai family who walks the streets and alleys and sells goods with rattles. It can be regarded as a good life for the Bailiu family, this Bai family master has a good hand of jewelry, and gradually gained a foothold in Beijing, plus now, the country is rich and the people are strong, the war is no longer there, and Beijing is quite rich, so the Bai family has gradually made a fortune and become a nouveau riche in the capital. Other nouveau riche can't get into the eyes of the powerful, but the Bai family is doing jewelry trading, which is quite sought after by the noblewomen in Beijing. In particular, the Bailiu clan is the most able to speak well, accustomed to observing words and feelings, slapping horses, and offering flowers to Buddha, no unproficient, no authentic. Therefore, the Bai family's business is even more unparalleled for a while.

Today, the Bai Liu family also accepted the request of his sister-in-law to come to Aunt Li to pull the marriage between Wanrong and the young master of the Liu family. The Shi family has been hot recently, especially the two young ladies who entered the palace to be selected spread in Beijing, which is even more incredible. If this family affair is completed, his mother's family can not only wander in the clear stream of the court, but also be able to shadow the military attache who holds military power, which is really beneficial and harmless to his brother's career.

However, Aunt Li had already received the order of the master and must not marry the Liu family, and even more listened to the master's tone: "He You'an, the first-class guard of Prince Rong's mansion, has visited Wanrong in the past few days, and there is a lot of admiration in his words. 'General He is a rising upstart general in the court, and the future of the Duke is just around the corner, but it is also possible for him to surpass the master's power, and then compared to the Liu family, he is already a declining and clear stream, and there is the failure of divorce, which really cannot be compared with General He.

Therefore, the Bailiu clan tried their best to please today, but Aunt Li was unmoved, and she never even took the purple jade hairpin.
