Chapter 436: I Dare to Send It, Do You Dare to Wear It?
Du Wei had already realized the meaning of Xiangnan's words at this time.
Xiangnan entered the Du Mansion as Du Zhenghong's concubine, and Mrs. Du gave a meeting gift, how could she, the princess, not pull out a dime?
Xiangnan looked intently at the red gold plate and Yingluo, and said with a smile: "How can the things of the princess be an ordinary thing, if you can have one thing in this life, you will wake up with a smile even if you dream." β
Du Wei put the chopsticks on the table and suddenly realized: "It turned out that I was not careful about the etiquette, and I forgot the meeting gift for you." Then he turned around and called Linglong, "Go and get my ruby twisted head." β
After a short time, Linglong took a beautifully carved wooden box, and when she opened the box, she saw that it was covered with red velvet, and on top of it was a set of heads inlaid with rubies.
Although it is not a rare item, it is finely made, and the large rubies are very expensive just by looking at them.
Linglong handed the wooden box to Xiangnan, but Xiangnan just looked at it and didn't take it, and couldn't help praising it: "Sure enough, everything in the eldest lady's hands is extraordinary, how can the concubine afford it......"
Mrs. Du saw that Du Wei took out such a valuable thing to send Xiangnan, but Xiangnan did not immediately accept it and thanked her, but chattered endlessly, and her face couldn't help but change color.
Du Zhenghong, who was on the side, saw it and coughed lightly.
Xiangnan pretended to wake up and said, "It's really ...... Such a valuable thing stunned people, and almost lost their manners. β
As she spoke, she reached out and took it.
Linglong took out another jade lock carved from green jade and said, "This is what our young lady gave to the little boy." β
At this time, even Du Zhenghong was a little embarrassed to get up, and hurriedly said: "Let the little sister break the bank." β
Mrs. Du said unhappily to Xiangnan: "Wei'er is the most generous to her family, as long as you can live a harmonious and beautiful life, it will not be in vain for her thoughts." β
Xiangnan held the wooden box and gave a salute to Du Wei: "Such a valuable thing, if you accept it, you can break the concubine, it is better for the princess to change it for the concubine, otherwise...... It's really hard to sleep......"
Du Zhenghong seemed to feel justified when he heard it, so he also followed: "Little sister, this thing is too valuable, you better change it." β
Xiangnan is just a concubine, Du Wei sent such an object, if he marries the main room again in the future, if Du Wei sends something worse than this, it will not lose the face of the main room.
"However, there is no reason to take back what is sent." Mrs. Du was dissatisfied.
"It's not to take it back, it's just to change it." Du Zhenghong explained.
"I don't know...... What kind of clothes does Kannan want to change? A gentle smile appeared on Du Wei's face when she heard this, as if she was the best talker in the world.
Xiangnan was happy in her heart, "It's better to ...... Let's change the object used by the princess, that pan Yingluo circle is very worthy of the eyes of the concubine, Zhenghong, you say yes or no? β
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
Not to mention such a formal occasion, Xiangnan, as a concubine, dared to call the third young master by his name, just the objects she took the initiative to ask for by name made her shallow-eyed.
Although Du Wei is a princess and has a higher seniority, in the final analysis, she is Du Zhenghong's little sister, but Xiangnan, as Du Zhenghong's concubine, has no scruples about these at all, and directly asks for things on her.
Even her aunt Ning Zhu'er, who has always been a low-key person, couldn't help frowning, Du Zhenghong was born to her, but the concubine he accepted was really unflattering, not to mention that she dared to ask her sister-in-law for something in front of her father-in-law.
Fortunately, the prince of Nanwang is not here, otherwise when he sees this situation, he will definitely think that even a young master's concubine in the Du Mansion would dare to embarrass Du Wei.
Master Du's face also darkened, and his eyes that glanced at Du Zhenghong were full of warnings, as if he wanted him to open his mouth to stop Xiangnan from talking.
Du Zhenghong didn't care, he had been living alone with Xiangnan for a long time, and he was used to Xiangnan's temperament, so he didn't think about it deeply.
"It seems that Xiangnan really has a soft spot for this thing." Du Wei was not in a hurry or annoyed, and reached out to gently stroke the red gold plate and Yingluo ring worn on his neck, "I heard that this thing is from the palace and the internal affairs office, and I don't know if it's true or not, but it's a pity that I can't give it to you, so you might as well pick another object." β
Saying that, she motioned to Linglong, Linglong turned around and took out an ink-lacquered Fushou sea-patterned treasure box, placed it on the table, and after opening it, Xiangnan only felt that her eyes lit up.
The east, south, west and north sides of the box, each with two drawers, only to see that each drawer contains all kinds of hairpins, rings, wears, etc., inlaid with tortoiseshell, rubhire, sapphire, coral, ivory, etc., the texture has gilding, jasper......
Xiang Nanzhi looked at the treasure box in a daze, and forgot to breathe for a while.
Du Wei stroked the red gold ring on her neck, but her tone was a little colder: "Originally, we are all our own family, and it is nothing to give it to you, but this ring was given to me by the prince of the world, even if I dare to give it to you...... Do you dare to wear it out? β
As soon as Du Wei's words fell, Mrs. Du and Master Du's faces changed color.
This Xiangnan is not just a concubine, and she dares to openly ask Du Wei for things, and she picks and chooses them, even the things that the prince gave to Du Wei......
"Enough!" Master Du finally couldn't help it, and slapped his palm on the table.
The cups and plates on the table jumped up in unison, startling everyone.
Du Zhenghong saw that his father's face sank, and then he realized that Xiangnan's move was really inappropriate, and hurriedly said: "I think this tortoiseshell golden hairpin is good, so it's better to choose this one." After speaking, Xiangnan was not allowed to speak, and directly forced her to take the things.
Xiangnan looked at the tortoiseshell golden hairpin in her hand, her face turned slightly pale, this thing is not as good as the head mask just now, she originally thought that Du Wei was a good talker, but she didn't expect that the thing she fancied was actually given to her by the prince of Nanwang......
She only hated herself for miscalculation for a while, and now she wanted to get back the head of the set of rubies, but she saw that Linglong had taken all those objects back.
Looking at the golden hairpin in his hand again, he felt more and more shabby, and he was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack.
Du Wei looked at Xiangnan's appearance, and her heart was like a mirror.
When she was on the boat, she found that Xiangnan was very greedy for money, so she pretended to be naΓ―ve all the way and was generous, so Xiangnan mistakenly thought that she was a good talker.
The originally good atmosphere has become a little dull after such a fuss.
Du Zhenghong lowered his head and only cared about drinking, blocking Xiangnan's complaining eyes aside.
Du Wei saw it in her eyes and snickered in her heart, it seems that this third brother's concubine really loves money like life, but she doesn't come and go, and the etiquette is still behind her.
"Third brother." Du Wei suddenly broke the silence, and she smiled: "Didn't the third brother prepare a meeting gift for the little sister?" β
Du Zhenghong was stunned.
"The eldest brother and the second brother gave me a meeting gift before." Du Weijiao smiled, her face was innocent, "If the third brother didn't give me a meeting gift, I wouldn't follow it." β
