Chapter 207: Two Geese
Brightly colored red lacquer gold gift box, the first layer of the first lift is placed in the "Tongshu Dragon and Phoenix Sticker" and "Rite Sticker, the big wine jar is decorated with red lacquer oil, painted with a blue dragon and phoenix auspicious pattern, satin ruler, gold and silver jewelry, dragon and phoenix cakes, all kinds of happy fruits, acacia bedding, as well as 100 eggs dyed red with rouge, 100 duck eggs, 100 bags of high-quality Wuyi tea, two carp jumping around...... There are also two geese in the hands of the little guy in the red light, gold and green robe, struggling and shouting.
Mr. Min looked stunned, and a young man wearing an official green silk pleated coat next to him had stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "I heard that the seventh brother is going to get married, this is my father specially asked for it from a friend's house." ”
The man was about thirty years old, with a slender figure, fair skin, and a pair of bright eyes, and he looked a little kind.
Mr. Min's eyes fell on Wang Qing.
Wang Qing hurriedly said: "This is the eldest son of Xiao Sa's second uncle, the eldest of the brothers, called Xiao Biao." For Xiao Sa's family affairs, I just came from my hometown in Lincheng yesterday. ”
Mr. Min suddenly realized when he heard this, and saluted Xiao Biao: "It turned out to be an uncle of the in-laws, please come into the house and drink tea." ”
Xiao Biao didn't even dare to say it, and said: "I have long heard of Lord Min's name, and the seventh brother can come back, because you and Lord Wang are going around, I will salute you on behalf of my father." As he spoke, he knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to Mr. Min.
Mr. Min was startled, and only reacted after a while, and hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to help Xiao Biao up: "This is what my generation should do, you don't have to be formal." ”
Xiao Biao couldn't afford it, and insisted on kowtowing to Mr. Min three times, and then stood up: "The seventh brother's family business is also thanks to the two of them. As he spoke, he called Xiao Biao and Xiao Hurricane, who also came to give the dowry, to come forward and salute Mr. Min: "This is my third brother Xiao Biao, and this is my fifth brother Xiao Hurricane." ”
Mr. Min saw that the Xiao brothers were all talents, with generous manners and modest conversations, and immediately felt good about them and invited them to drink tea in the flower hall.
Zhou Baimu took the little servant to collect the boxes and put them in the main room for people to watch.
The Shen family married a daughter, and only invited a few people who had good personal relations on weekdays, but they didn't expect Shi Jin and others to send their wives to accompany the gift, and the family was also full of people, very lively, and when they saw the dowry sent by the Xiao family, they couldn't stop praising it.
Shen Mu should be avoided, and Shi Jingshu accompanied her to stay in Tingyuxuan.
Xiao Sa was exiled, and when she arrived in Yanzhouwei, she had to keep a low profile, she was only going to take two maids. Taking advantage of this, Shen Muqing called Mother Li and the maids in and told him what he meant.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
When the most taboo thing for the family is to withdraw by themselves but not have a good arrangement for the people around them, don't say that these old people will complain about you in the future, even the new people will be uneasy and dare not do things for you wholeheartedly.
Shen Muqing is also a subordinate of others, so he doesn't understand this truth. smiled: "You have always been by my side, and I will not leave you alone." Mingxia and Ning Bi followed me, and the others were taken by Yingfen to the White Paper Workshop. ”
Several little maids breathed a sigh of relief. Ying Fan cried: "Grandma take me too!" ”
"Nonsense." Shen Muqing pretended to be angry and said: "You are the biggest in this room, you don't persuade everyone, and you take the lead in crying." ”
Ying Fan didn't dare to make a sound, and sobbed on the side.
"You have your own opinions, and I can rest assured, so I handed over this big family to you." Shen Muqing continued, "Do you think staying in Kyoto is so easy? I have to take care of these people's eating, drinking, and Lazar, and I have to help me come to see the master from time to time...... You're in a quandary, so you want to follow me? ”
Ying Fan was most afraid of people looking down on her, thinking that she and Mingxia came in to serve Shen Muqing together, but Shen Muqing finally took Mingxia away, and she was very sad. Now hearing Shen Muqing say this, I can't help but feel that I am a little childish. Hurriedly wiped his tears, and shouted embarrassedly, "Grandma, I listen to you." ”
Seeing this, Shen Muqing just breathed a sigh of relief, and Mother Li cried over there.
She watched Shen Muqing grow up, and thought that she would follow her new aunt to the place of poor mountains and bad waters after she got married, and tears fell: "Grandma and grandma will also take me over!" When you go so far away and have no experienced person to take care of you, what will your home look like! That's why my wife gave me to my aunt and grandmother at the beginning. If my wife were still here, she would not have agreed to your arrangement. ”
As soon as Shen Muqing was about to open his mouth to persuade Li's mother, he heard Shi Jingshu next door coughing loudly a few times.
I know that she has something to say to herself, but at this time, it is not the time to speak.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Jasmine coming over: "Auntie, come into the house and take a look, our girl is coughing badly." ”
Shen Muqing was stunned, but he didn't expect it to be a real cough, so he hurriedly went to Shi Jingshu on the kang.
Shi Jingshu coughed and looked at her to make her eyes: "Mother Li's words make sense." If you think about it carefully, she was the person that Aunt Shen left for you to bring with you, so she naturally has her intentions. ”
Shen Muqing didn't understand for a while.
Shi Jingshu couldn't help but be anxious, and said, "Yanzhou Wei may not even have a pharmacy. If you get pregnant, who will take care of you? ”
Only then did Shen Muqing understand, and he couldn't help but blush, not knowing what to say.
Shi Jingshu looked at it and laughed teasingly, and said in a low voice: "You have just said that the maid only brings two, so it is naturally difficult to change her words, but bringing another mother over, this should not be regarded as a change of day!" ”
And that's not even a change of day.
Shen Muqing was scolding, and a little maid came in and shouted, "Uncle's family has sent a lot of things...... And two live geese! ”
Geese are rare birds that are not easy to obtain, and are now replaced by geese.
Shi Jingshu covered her mouth and smiled: "Although the time is short, the Xiao family's etiquette is not lacking. ”
Although Shen Muqing's face was hot, his heart was warm.
There are also little maids who ran to Liuyi Courtyard to say.
"I didn't expect the Xiao family to send geese to ......," Aunt Chen was slightly stunned.
Because of the restrictions of her identity, Shen Zhen married her daughter and invited Mrs. Min to preside over the overall situation, she didn't see those dowry gifts, but Tian's mother deliberately touched it and saw it. couldn't help but whisper in Aunt Chen's ear to comfort her: "...... Although there are not many things such as silk rulers and dragon and phoenix cakes, those collars, bracelets, hairpins, and earrings are all inlaid with precious stones. As he spoke, he held out his thumb: "I also saw a comb with such a big beeswax on it...... The Xiao family attaches so much importance to their aunt and grandmother, and they will not stand idly by if Brother She has something to do in the future. Auntie, please relax. ”
After sending off the people of the Xiao family, Mrs. Min handed over the dowry and the list to Shen Muqing: "You have taken it." This is something that the Xiao family gave you! ”
It's to remind her not to give these things to Aunt Chen, right?
Shen Muqing gratefully answered "yes" and sent Mrs. Min to Tingyuxuan's room to rest - early tomorrow morning, she will send Shen Muqing to marry as Mrs. Quanfu.
After Mrs. Min rested, she went to Shen Zhen with the dowry list and handed the gift list to Shen Zhen.
Shen Zhen looked at the list and smiled slightly: "Our family doesn't have such a big pen as theirs, only a box of books for you to dowry." ”
Shen Muqing listened with tears in his eyes.
The wife gave all the valuable things in the house to herself, and after raiding the house, she lost some things, and at this time my father could still get something......
She knelt on Shen Zhen's knees: "Master, the maids beside me are led by Yingfen, and they all go to the white paper workshop." If you're okay, go over and watch it for me. lest these maids don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, and regard it as Huaguo Mountain. ”
Shen Zhen was stunned when he listened.
White Paper Workshop, he hasn't been there for a long time......
Coming out of Shen Zhen's study, Shen Muqing went to Shi Jingshu.
“…… Yiwen Tea Shop, Fujian's Tea Farm, and Family Affairs, all please leave it to my sister. She handed a box carved of rosewood ivory hosta flowers to Shi Jingshu, "Here is a 100,000 taels of silver tickets, my sister will use it slowly." ”
Shi Jingshu was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly pushed the box into Shen Muqing's hand: "No...... So much money ......"
Shen Muqing pushed the box to Shi Jingshu again: "Sister, take it quickly." I don't know when I'll be back! ”
Shi Jingshu's eyes were wet as she listened.
"The courtyard over there was bought by my lord and wife when they first returned to Kyoto, and they were given to me as a dowry." Shen Muqing confessed to Jingshu, "If the master is not happy here, you will take the master to the white paper workshop." ”
Shi Jingshu held the box and nodded tearfully.
Shen Muqing pointed to the box again: "If the master wants to buy something like a lonely ancient book, you can post it from here, if it is not enough, let Pang Debao find a way...... And those maids. My sister is regarded as the person around her, she says it when she should say it, she takes care of it when she should take care of it, and if she is disobedient, she will be punished directly. If there are suitable people, help me release them slowly, and I can't trap them here......"
Shen Muqing explained carefully, and a little maid came in and said, "Grandma, the master asked you to go to the study." ”
I just came from there......
She thought about it, and after hastily explaining a few words to Shi Jingshu, she hurriedly went to Shen Zhen's study with the maid.
Pang Debao was accompanying a man, sitting under Shen Zhen's head, talking to Shen Zhen in a low voice.
Hearing the movement, the man turned his face.
Shen Muqing was stunned, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Ren Xiang? ”
Ren Xiang smiled and gave Shen Muqing a salute.
Shen Zhen looked at him sharply and said, "How do you know Ren Xiang?" ”
Shen Muqing suddenly sweated through his clothes.
When Li had just died, Shen Zhen was depressed, she was afraid that Shen Zhen would be worried, so she only told Shen Zhen about Aunt Chen's side that someone was delivering things for Shen Yuerong, but she didn't dare to say anything about Shen Yuerong's disappearance......
Ren Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and immediately came back to his senses. He explained with a smile: "When you had an accident, Yuerong was worried about you, so I came to Kyoto to find out the news...... I saw my aunt and grandmother at that time. As he spoke, he gave Shen Muqing a look.
Shen Muqing has never deceived Shen Zhen - he will only choose what to say at the right time. But this matter is really important, and she can't help but hesitate a little.
Who is Shen Zhen, he immediately felt that something was wrong between the two.
He couldn't help but shout: "Mu Qing, you tell me the truth." How did you meet? ”
Shen Muqing hesitated for a moment and told Shen Zhen about Shen Yuerong's disappearance.
Ren Xiang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he listened to it.
Shen Zhen looked at Ren Xiang with a shocked face: "Something so big happened, but you hid it from me?" What else did you say that Yuerong was in Taicang, and I didn't know that Mu Qing was going to marry......"
Ren Xiang immediately knelt down: "It's all my fault!" ”
Shen Muqing didn't expect Ren Xiang to say this.
