Chapter 25: The Gift
After everyone drank wine, Mrs. Toast spoke a paragraph, and the translator smiled and said, "Madame said that it was not a big deal. However, Mrs. Tusi saw that although there were many people around Grandma Du, none of them understood Yi language. So I want to send two people to her side. All the expenses are in our wife's account, and there is no need to use Du Fu. I wonder if there is anything wrong with this request? ”
Inappropriate, too inappropriate. Du Kan sneered, and wanted to attack. But Du Guogong held her down privately before she could speak, and said with a smile: "What I said is that some people are not talented, and many people can still afford it." Mrs. Toast just sent the people. Such a trivial matter has to be put on the lady's account, but it is too outward. ”
The translator replied, listened to Mrs. Toast say a few more words, and said with a smile: "Madame said, there is something wrong with what she said just now, she is from a vulgar background, and everyone doesn't know these reasons, so she only treats Grandma Du well." If there is any offense, please forgive me. ”
Du Guogong laughed dryly, and was about to say a few more words. The person at the bottom of the toast gave four boxes, and the translator smiled and said, "Giving a little play is considered a lady's reparation." The southwest is remote, and there are no good goods. If the ladies don't like it, they can give it to the people below. ”
After saying that, he stepped forward and opened the box.
Originally, Du Kan was still arrogant, thinking that this Mrs. Tusi was really from a humble background, had no education, and spoke vulgarly. Even if it's the same as yourself, what about it? The gifts given are certainly vulgar. I didn't want to see it, but I thought I should take the opportunity to give this country woman a little color. Joke, she is a duchess of the country, from everyone's background, and there are no treasures that have not been seen.
As soon as the box opened, she quickly retracted what she had said. There is only one piece of jewelry in a box, but it is exquisite. In particular, the jewelry for the Tosuga family was a gold necklace set with precious stones. The sapphires set on it are as big as a pigeon's egg and as blue as the sea. This hanging necklace may not be able to be bought for three or four thousand taels of silver. When it was delivered to Du Kan's hands, she really couldn't hold back her tears of surprise.
The other ladies, the gifts were ordinary, they were all a pair of jeweled gold earrings, shining, about one or two thousand silver or so. But except for the third lady, it was the first time to see such valuable jewelry. Especially Du Cai, who was barely in power, also looked straight. The ruby earrings for her were rubbed for a long time.
The lords of Du Mansion also received some gifts from the toast. Everyone is satisfied.
As for Mrs. Toast, she wants to give Xiuniang two girls? What Xiuniang got is simply cold!
When Mrs. Toast removed her makeup at night, Toast asked her puzzledly: "Forget about the sub-sticker." Why did you give Yingzhuo to Shi Wai? ”
Mrs. Toast smiled and said, "Although Yingzhuo is good, there are too many people on my side. Shi Wai is pitiful, and his temperament is weak, don't know how to harm people, just give her Yingzhuo. ”
Toast said, "You're good to her." Zi Tie knows martial arts, Yingzhuo understands herbal medicine, and they are all rare talents. Now Shi Wai has a powerful helper. It's worth a lot more than those dead things. ”
Mrs. Toast smiled.
And when Xiuniang returned to the room at night, Yun Sheng was still awake, and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”
Yun Sheng smiled weakly: "After sleeping for a day, I really can't sleep." Let's talk about today? Lady Toast again? ”
After saying that, he coughed for a while.
Xiuniang hurriedly stepped forward and beat her carefully for a while, and said, "You should say less." used to be silent about a gourd, but now it has become a chatterbox. ”
Yun Sheng smiled, wanted to say something, was afraid to cough again, and kept silent.
Xiuniang chose what Toast Fu said to her today and the things at the banquet. Especially what Mrs. Toast said was to send two girls to her.
