Chapter 439: The third brother's gift, Xiangnan and his son ask for peace
On the way back, Du Wei's mind kept echoing what her eldest brother said before sending her out.
"Don't tell your father about it yet."
Du Wei can fully understand Du Yifan's difficulties as an eldest brother, on the one hand, his brother guards and steals, and on the other hand, his father trusts himself and hands over all the business to himself.
So the eldest brother sealed the last half of the goods in the warehouse and did not open the warehouse for inspection.
The palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, Du Wei is just an adopted daughter in this mansion in the end, and she doesn't want to make it difficult for her eldest brother.
As soon as I returned to Jufu Pavilion, I saw the "meeting gift" personally sent by the third young master Tuo Xiangnan - a group of monkeys playing in the mountain.
When Xiangnan sent someone to put it in the courtyard, even Linglong and Yu'er on the side showed disdain, and Feng Siyuan almost laughed out loud if he wasn't worried about being recognized.
"This is the big gift that the third brother gave me?" Du Wei deliberately paused word by word and raised her voice.
Xiangnan smiled a little embarrassedly, "The concubines have inquired clearly, the eldest brother gave you a box of small wooden dolls before, and the second brother gave you a string of gold beads and fan pendants...... This stone carving was carved by the most famous local craftsman in Toyoshu Castle, and I heard that this object can be placed in the house to have many children and grandchildren......"
The more Du Wei listened to Xiangnan's words, the more wrong it became, why do you have many children and grandchildren, such a group of monkeys playing in the mountains...... Could it be that she will give birth to a bunch of monkeys in the future?
A discordant picture came to mind when he was neutral: the wind twilight had a cold face, and the jade tree stood there in the wind, and five or six children climbed up and down on top of him......
I rubbed it!
Du Wei resisted the urge to kick Xiangnan away, and said that she was unwell, so she went straight back to the house and asked Linglong to greet her with Yu'er.
After a while, Linglong came in with a smile, "Miss, where is this object?" ”
The corners of Du Wei's mouth twitched twice, "Which one...... It's in the middle of the house, and you can see it as soon as you look up at the door. ”
Linglong was surprised in her heart, she thought that Du Wei would order them to throw this thing out.
"I want everyone to see what good things the third brother gave me!" Du Wei sneered.
So Linglong immediately found a few people, removed the jade carving screen at the entrance of the main house, and placed the stone carving of the monkey playing mountain there.
No matter who comes in and sees it, they can't help but want to laugh.
Not to mention how ordinary this object is, and the stone does not have any preciousness, just placed there, it is very eye-catching, and it looks out of place in a room of jade antiques.
Sure enough, early the next morning, when Mrs. Du came over, she was startled by this thing, and immediately asked someone to remove it, but Du Wei stopped it with a smile, saying that it was the third brother's heart.
Mrs. Du's face turned pale and red, and her words were too clear, worried that it would affect Du Wei's feelings for her third brother, so let's not say it...... Sending this kind of thing, it is obviously in the cold cicada people, and Du Mansion is not a small family, this kind of thing is placed here, if you wait for the prince of Nanwang to come to see you, it will be the face of their Du Mansion that will be lost.
Mrs. Du left in front, and let people send a pair of hibiscus blossom jade carving ornaments, pink petals, ink-colored jade base, cyan flower branches, exquisite carving, although Du Wei did not know how to appreciate jade, but saw that she liked it very much, and was busy asking Linglong to place this pair of ornaments on the stone carving of the group of monkeys playing around the mountain, so that the stone carving in the middle was more shabby and stingy.
Feng Siyuan entered the house and almost smiled and bent over, "Sister, are you planning to anger the person who gave the gift?" ”
Du Wei sat on the Taishi chair in the main room, leisurely eating tea, raised her eyes and glanced at the three ornaments, and chuckled disdainfully, "I just want to get in the way of some people's eyes." ”
"How did you know the giver was coming?" Feng Siyuan obviously also had a bad impression of Xiangnan.
"There is a ghost in my heart, and I am naturally uneasy." Du Wei seemed to answer not what she asked.
Feng Siyuan had just said a few words to her, and there was a subordinate outside, "Xiangnan from the third young master's courtyard brought the little young master over to greet the eldest lady." ”
Feng Siyuan had no choice but to follow Yu'er and hide in the inner room.
It didn't take much effort, Xiangnan came in with a curtain, smiling, and followed by the nurse behind her, and the nurse was still holding the little young master Du Tianen in her arms.
"The concubine greets the eldest lady." As soon as Xiangnan entered the door, he smiled and saluted.
Du Wei said a faint "um", even if it was a response.
As soon as Xiangnan raised his head, he saw the three ornaments behind Du Wei, especially the pair of vivid pink jade hibiscus carvings on the left and right, which made the middle one extremely shabby.
Xiangnan's face changed instantly, she never expected that this eldest lady would put the things they sent in such a conspicuous place.
"Miss...... This thing is here...... I'm afraid it's not right? Xiangnan only felt invisible, as if someone was constantly pointing at her backbone, and her back was cold.
"What's wrong, the third brother gave it to me, I like it." Du Wei said lightly, with a calm expression on her face.
Xiangnan peeked at it for a long time, but she couldn't tell the joy and anger of the eldest lady sitting above.
is different from the well-behaved and docile in front of everyone, Du Wei at this time is calm and indifferent, just like those ladies from the Gaomen Mansion, her whole body faintly exudes a noble atmosphere.
The embarrassment on Xiangnan's face was a little more, and she hurriedly asked the nurse to hold the little master and salute Du Wei.
Du Wei let Linglong see the tea, and the two gossiped.
After a long time, the little young master couldn't stay on the nurse, and kept twisting his body to play on the ground.
The nurse didn't dare to let the little master go to the ground without permission, so she had to look at Xiangnan, and Xiangnan went to see Du Wei sitting above.
Du Wei sneered in her heart: The night owl enters the house, and he comes for nothing, and I am not the real lady of Du Mansion, you came to ask for peace early in the morning, and you may have something hidden in your heart.
Du Wei was silent, the little young master's "babbling" voice became louder and louder, and finally only the noise of the child could be heard in the room.
Xiangnan finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and took the initiative to speak: "The child is too young to stay, I don't know if the eldest lady can be accommodating, let him come down and run." ”
Du Wei took the tea and lifted her eyelids, "It should be like this." ”
Xiangnan immediately smiled and asked the nurse to put the child on the ground, but as soon as the child's feet landed, he went directly to the valuable objects in the house.
I knocked down the round stool with my waist, and the potted plant on it "banged" and shattered on the ground, and the nurse was anxious to pull it, but the little master was small, and he got into a few cases at once, drilled out from the other side, and hit the embroidery screen of the eight opens......
For a while, there was a loud noise in the room.
A hint of schadenfreude flashed in Xiangnan's eyes.
Du Wei sat indifferently, as if everything had nothing to do with her, and drank tea slowly.
