Chapter 150: Little Farewell Reunion (3)
Xun Qingran couldn't imagine that Qi You would go out shop by store and pick these things back. According to convention, most of these things, except for particularly valuable ones, should be purchased with the help of his subordinates. However, these pieces of homespun cloth are not like them. After all, who in a big family will use this?
The little guys know these best, and they will never buy them, so they can only be Qi You.
"Fourth Master, these things were personally selected by you?" Xun Qingran asked.
“…… Bought it at your fingertips. Qi You said lightly, but his eyes turned on Xun Qingran's face.
Xun Qingran touched these pieces of homespun cloth with his hands, the texture was sturdy, the pattern was simple, and they were placed in the pile of silk and satin, not only did not look tacky, but looked extremely elegant. She likes it very much, but it's a pity that her identity and surrounding environment determine that she can't dress as she likes.
"The fourth master has worked hard." Xun Qing said.
Qi You's vague words, as well as the glances that came over, made Xun Qingran more sure, and couldn't help but smile in his heart, these pieces of cloth must have been bought by a country lady who fooled him.
"Fourth master, these pieces of cloth are my favorite. I'm going to stay, okay? Xun Qingran took the blue flower cloth and compared it on his body, and smiled at Qi Youcan.
"If you like, nature is up to you." The corners of Qi You's mouth curled slightly, and he took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Xun Qingran casually, "This is for you." ”
also prepared another gift, Xun Qingran cheered in her heart, one of her hobbies in her life is to open gifts.
"What is it?"
Xun Qingran took the cloth bag with a smile.
This cloth bag is the size of her palm, and it is made of high-quality Shu brocade, embroidered on both sides, one side is a bat flowing cloud, and the other side is a flower blooming wealth. The needlework is delicate, and at first glance, it is made from within. Xun Qingran pinched it with his fingers, and there seemed to be some small beads in the bag, which didn't seem to be round.
"What is that?" Xun Qingran raised his eyebrows.
Qi You nodded at the cloth bag and motioned Xun Qingran to look at it himself.
Xun Qingran untied the rope of the cloth bag, reached in, and felt for one.
"It's a diamond," Xun Qingran said in surprise.
Qi Yu saw Xun Qing's eyebrows glazed, and he didn't realize that his eyebrows were more stretched.
"In Baoding Mansion, I met a missionary from the West who bought it from him. Available in different colors. Qi Yu said.
Xun Qingran heard this, and poured all the diamonds in the bag on the table. Diamonds come in a variety of sizes, including pink and blue. Xun Qingye pinched them one by one and looked at the sun.
"It's so beautiful, you've spent a lot of money on these, right?"
"Not much. I was eating at the inn, and the missionary took a fancy to the bowl I was using. ”
"Fourth Master, did you exchange your own bowl for this?"
When you go out, you always bring a set of customary cutlery.
"How can you give people the things you use?"
Knowing that you love cleanliness, Xun Qingran pursed her lips secretly, hurriedly softened her tone, and coaxed, "Naturally, naturally." So ...... this diamond?"
"That missionary liked porcelain, but he couldn't buy it from an official kiln. I gave him a set of dishes and tea sets from the official kiln, and exchanged them for this bag of diamonds. Qi Yu said.
Xun Qing quickly converted in his heart and found that Qi You's transaction was not only not a loss, but a lot of money. She was a layman, and her heart rejoiced even more.
Playing with the diamonds, pondering the use of each one, Xun Qingran smiled happily, but she remembered other things.
"Fourth master, let's go and say hello to the old lady. In the past two days, the old lady has been talking about the fourth master. ”
You stood up, and no one had to wait for him, and he put on his coat.
Xun Qingran packed up the diamonds, put them in the makeup box, and instructed the bellflowers, malt and jewels to bring the soil for the Rong family, and went to live in Yinian.
Out of the gate of Ning Yuanju, Xun Qingran suddenly remembered something, so he asked Qi You, "Fourth master, I plan to send some pen and ink to the fifth brother." The fifth brother likes those literati things the most, and usually whenever there is something, the sisters have to write a post to come over. I thought about writing a post to him. Does he have words? Well, I seem to have heard Junhui say that the fifth brother's character seems to have a teacher character, do you know the fourth master? ”
"He's so young, what's the word? It's just that he made up one himself, called Ziyin. Qi Yu said.
Xun Qingran knew that Qi You's word was Ziqian, so he said: "The words of several masters in the family, do they all have a sub-word?" ”
"It's just me, the fifth one follows me, and he also uses a man."
"Oh, I see." Xun Qingran said, "It seems that I remembered it wrongly, Junhui said a word, which master of our family, it seems to take the meaning of the master as the teacher......"
Before Xun Qingran could say any more, she saw a housekeeper's daughter-in-law hurriedly coming from the fork in the road.
"The fourth master is back, and the slave asks for peace to the fourth master and the fourth grandmother." The housekeeper's daughter-in-law bent her knees and said with a smile.
Xun Qingran nodded and asked the daughter-in-law to get up. Along the way, the people I met were far away and avoided the side, bowed and saluted, and the daughter-in-law rushed forward, thinking that there was something to go back. Because she is in charge of household affairs, her daily affairs are complicated, and she is used to such things.
"But what's the matter?" Xun Qingran stopped and asked.
"Back to the fourth grandmother, the uncle of Songzhu Lane is gone, send someone in to ask for peace. The slave went back to his wife, and the wife asked the slave to come to the grandmother, how much funeral money to give, and asked the grandmother for instructions. The housekeeper's daughter-in-law replied neatly.
Songzhu Lane is an alley behind the house of Qi Mansion, and the houses in that area are all built by the Qi family, and the people who live there are all surnamed Qi, saying that they are the home of Qi Mansion. In fact, most of them are attached from afar, and some of them are just because they have the same surname Qi, and they begged to go to the door of the Anguo Mansion and were taken in by the Anguo Mansion.
"What should I do according to the old examples?" Xun Qingran asked.
"Back to grandma, when the master of the previous generation was there, such a thing was to give four pieces of ruler and fifty taels of silver. In the past ten years, another example has been opened, giving two white cloths and thirty taels of silver. There are also masters who are extra merciful, and add another ruler or two. "That
"Then according to the usual practice, I sent someone to send thirty taels of silver and four horses of white cloth." Xun Qingran instructed, "Let the steward of the outer courtyard bring two people over to have a look and help with the cooking." ”
The daughter-in-law was busy, so she followed the jewel to get the right card.
Xun Qingran was clearly assigned, and looked up to see Qi You squinting at her. Xun Qingran smiled unconsciously, took two steps forward, and walked side by side with Qi Yu to Yinian House.
The two arrived at Yinianju and asked the Rong family for peace.
"The old lady is fine. …… I found two old ginseng, and some other things for the old lady to play with. ”
Rong asked someone to take it, looked Qi Yu up and down, and narrowed both eyes when he smiled.
"I have a lot of these things here, I don't want you to break the bank all the time." Yung Road.
"The fourth master specially found it, and the old lady just enjoyed it. The fourth master has been gone for these days, and the old lady is not looking forward to the fourth master's return one day, and she has to say it twice when she sees someone. The grandmothers said that the old lady had not slept well in the past two days, and she was not worried about the fourth master. The old ginseng is naturally good, and this Poria cream, the old lady drinks a cup of milk every day, which is the best one, and the incense that keeps her sleep is good. Xun Qingran said with a smile.
"Well, what the dyeing girl said makes sense. Put it away for me, and I'll eat it tomorrow. Rong commanded, and then said to Qi You, "In this way, there is another person who should eat this thing even more." ”
Without waiting for Qi You to answer, Rong smiled and said, "It's your daughter-in-law." said that I miss you, but I don't look at herself, and she comes here every day to talk to me, and she can't do without you in three sentences. I see, this face is thin. ”
"The old lady teased me again," Xun Qingran's face was slightly red.
She didn't admit that she was thin, even if she was a little thin, it was definitely because the housekeeper was tired.
Rong burst out laughing, and everyone in the room laughed along. Xun Qingran's face became redder and redder.
"Don't laugh at her, now that she is a housekeeper, she is annoyed when you laugh, and I don't care if I don't give you the reward for the New Year." Rong said more and more happily.
"Old lady, don't wronged the fourth grandmother, the fourth grandmother is not that kind of person, there is no one up and down the house who does not praise the fourth grandmother. Besides, either the minions laughed at the fourth grandmother, or the fourth grandmother was annoyed, and the old lady had to worry about whether she could get the New Year's share. A grandmother teased.
Everyone laughed more and more, and even the little girl outside the door covered her mouth and snickered.
Well, Xun Qingran knew that she shouldn't blush. The more she blushes, the more fun Rong becomes. However, blushing really can't be controlled by will, and she can't help it.
Xun Qing glanced at Qi You, and saw Qi You sipping from a teacup, looking from the side, only the black eyelashes were fanning, and he couldn't see what the expression was.
But Xun Qingran instinctively thought that Qi You was also laughing, at least in his heart.
Xun Qingran moved his feet slowly, and while others were not paying attention, he gently kicked Qi You's boots. When Qi Yu turned his eyes, Xun Qingran hurriedly secretly handed over a resentful look: Your daughter-in-law was teased, very embarrassed, why don't you follow the excitement, why don't you come and solve the siege.
"This Lu'an tea is excellent. I was in Baoding Mansion and went to Dajue Temple, where the silver needles in the temple were extremely fragrant. Qi You put down the teacup and said.
"You like that silver needle? That's not easy to say, I have a mother to give it here. Rong said, so he instructed the people who were waiting, "Go to my house, the tea given by the lady, and brew it for the fourth master to drink." ”
A girl agreed to go out.
In this way, the conversation diverted, and everyone naturally stopped laughing. Xun Qingran breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dyeing a girl, it's a very good. You don't know it, but she's in charge of the family now. I was still worried about her, but these days, I am completely relieved. Rong glanced at Xun Qingran lovingly, and said, "However, the face is still a little tenderer, but this makes me like it more." ”
"Old lady, it's not good, second grandma, second grandma, she ......"
A little girl ran in from outside in a panic.
