Chapter 102: Knowing
And Mrs. Zhu's face is red, black and white, so rich that she can open a sauce shop.
The string of water gallbladder red agate that Cen Shaoyao gave to Xia Jin is much more valuable than the set of noodles that Mrs. Xuanping Hou gave to Zhu Xinlan. This made Mrs. Zhu jealous and hateful. It would be nice if this agate was given to her daughter.
What's more, Cen Shaoyao just said that because Xia Jin saved her life, she wanted to give this string of agate to Xia Jin. So what she meant was that the Zhu family had to come up with valuable things to repay Xia Jin for saving his life.
Mrs. Zhu is a person who regards money as her life. Thinking that not only could she not get the agate, but she would have to lose a lot of money to give to the little girl of the Xia family, which made her even more uncomfortable than cutting her flesh with a knife.
"Old lady, I really can't ask for such a rare and valuable thing." Xia Jin raised his face and said with a smile, "Please also ask the old lady to persuade Miss Cen." ”
These words were timely and thoughtful, and the old lady Xuan Pinghou looked at Xia Jin, who had changed from admiration to affection.
Children who know how to advance and retreat, no matter which elder they are, will like it.
"Chun'er, go and bring my set of red gold butterfly jewelry."
"Yes." The big girl who followed the old lady Xuanping answered and turned to leave. After a while, a box was brought in.
Seeing this box, the women who were chatting were silent one by one.
This box is made of nanmu, and the four corners are inlaid with red gold, and the lock on it is also of red gold; The rest of the place is done with great craftsmanship. The wisps of air are carved with auspicious things such as unicorns and daylilies; Moreover, this box is two feet square, and it is the size of a basin in Chun'er's hand. Just look at this black box. I know that the contents must be extraordinary, and the amount is still full.
Mrs. Xuanping opened the box, and under the sunlight, the golden light in the box dazzled everyone's eyes at once. Rao is the woman who was present saw a lot of valuables, not so shallow-eyed, and couldn't help but let out a "ah" and exclaimed.
The old lady Xuan Pinghou picked up one of the things inside. There was a look of nostalgia on his face: "This set of jewelry is still before the Queen Mother got married." Given to me. I remember that this step shake was her favorite before leaving the cabinet, and she often wore it to various banquets. When I was a child, I was ignorant and broke a gem on it. The Queen Mother cried a lot at that time and ignored me for a long time. In the end, my aunt found many skilled craftsmen and repaired it, and the Queen Mother forgave me. ”
The branch in the hand of Mrs. Xuanping Hou swayed, the yellow and red gold branches, and the branch was a lifelike butterfly. The whole body of the butterfly is inlaid with tiny sapphires, which shine dazzlingly in the sun; Its tentacles are inlaid with rubies the size of two soybeans. Xuan Ping waited for the old lady's hand to move. The two antennae shook slightly, making the whole butterfly seem to come to life.
Everyone looked at the butterfly, and the glances at Xia Jin were simply naked/naked/naked with envy and jealousy.
The value of this step itself is not to be said. No matter how valuable it is. There is also a price. But it was the Queen Mother's favorite jewelry before she left the cabinet, but this point could not be bought with any amount of money. Everyone knows that the emperor is very filial to his mother. The status of the Queen Mother is supremely respected.
Although this set of jewelry was regulated by the common people, it was not registered in the royal register. But when it comes to added value, it is much more valuable than the head jewelry of the concubine.
Mrs. Zhu looked at this set of jewelry, and her eyes were about to pop out.
Mrs. Xuanping waited for the old lady to put the step back into the box. closed the lid of the box again, and motioned Cen Ziman to pick up the box. smiled and said to Xia Jin: "Although my granddaughter is not a famous lady and a daughter, but in my heart, she is a treasure that cannot be replaced by anything in the world." Miss Xia, you saved my granddaughter's life, so I'll give you this set of jewelry to show my gratitude. ”
"Old lady, this thing is too valuable, I ......"
Old lady Xuanping waved her hand and interrupted Xia Jin's words: "Don't say it." If you say it again, it is too polite. I will order Sister Man to take off the red agate on her wrist and give it away. ”
Xia Jin was dumbfounded, so he had to smile bitterly, stepped forward and saluted, took the box in Cen Ziman's hand, squatted down and said, "Thank you for the generous gift from the old lady and Miss Cen." ”
Old lady Xuanping smiled with satisfaction, patted Xia Jin's arm and said, "That's right." I just like kids who are good at work. ”
As she spoke, she turned around and said to everyone: "I'm old, and my body can't stand the scare of eating children today, so I won't leave everyone to play more today." Anyway, I'm going to stay here for a while longer, so we'll be together for a long time. ”
Today's events are really a shock to these pampered women. It was not rude for Mrs. Xuanping to say this. Everyone said some words of thanks and was about to leave.
"Old lady, that ......" Mrs. Zhu was a little anxious.
Mrs. Xuanping said that she would give Zhu Xinlan a set of gifts from the concubine, but now she is leaving, and the jewelry has not yet seen a shadow, which makes her very anxious.
"Oh, you mean the jewelry, right?" The old lady Xuanping beckoned to the side, and a maid came up with a box.
Mrs. Xuanping said lightly: "This jewelry has been brought a long time ago, but it has not been handed to you." As he spoke, he motioned to the maid to open the box and hand it to Mrs. Zhu.
The box was of rosewood, also covered with gold sheets; The jewelry inside is a set of gold and jade heads, but the number of pieces is relatively small, and it is not as delicate and valuable as the set that Xia Jin received. If she had seen it before, Mrs. Zhu would have been excited and happy. But with Xia Jin's set of comparisons, she was not only disappointed, but also angry.
She is the prefect's wife, the first lady of Linjiang City. Although Mrs. Xuanping Hou is Mrs. Hou, but the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, she wants to live in Linjiang City, so she should naturally convince herself, the prefect lady.
How can she give her daughter's jewelry as good as a poor little girl? Isn't this a red/bare/bare slap in the face?
Old lady Xuan Pinghou looked at Mrs. Zhu's expression, shook her head secretly, ignored her again, turned her head and smiled apologetically at everyone: "Everyone go slowly, I won't send it." ”
Everyone withdrew their disdainful gaze at Mrs. Zhu, and said goodbye to Mrs. Xuanping Hou.
Xia Jin naturally left with everyone. Cen Ziman reluctantly asked, "Are you free to catch up with Ming'er?" I'm looking for you to play. ”
The restaurant will open tomorrow, where is Xia Jin free? only told Cen Ziman that she was going to help her father concoct medicinal materials, and promised that she would come to Cen Ziman to play if she was free, so she was able to get out.
Xia Jin thought that Xia Qi and Luo Qian would not come out so soon, so she thought about asking Uncle Luo to send her home first, and then drive back to pick up Xia Qi. didn't want to wait for her to arrive at the gate, Xia Qi and Luo Qian were already waiting for her there.
"Hey, why are you so fast?" Xia Jin was surprised.
Xia Qi said with a smile: "Brother Luo said that you fell into the water and suffered from the cold, and it is estimated that you will come out soon." So we're just waiting here. I didn't expect you to come out. ”
Xia Jin glanced at Luo Qian and met his blazing gaze.
She looked away casually and said to Xia Qi, "Then let's go." "The mind is not as calm as it seems on the surface.
The interaction between men and women in ancient times was not as casual as in modern times, and the emphasis was on whether men and women gave or received kisses. If you are a little more intimate, you have to talk about marriage. What's more, she and Luo Qian still have "Chongxi".
Now that she is dressed as a man, Luo Qian has seen through it, and I don't know what Luo Qian will think of her. After all, with the examples of Zhu Xinlan and Li Yuyuan in front of her, maybe Luo Qian would think that she was also a nymphomaniac like them and wanted to marry him, so she disguised herself as a man and approached him quite schemingly.
If he really thought like this, the business of partnership between them would naturally not be able to continue. But the problem is: she spent almost the fifty taels of silver he gave.
Alas, don't think so much, let's take one step at a time.
The three of them went out and looked for a carriage, and as when they came, Luo Qian took his carriage, and the Xia family brothers and sisters got into Boss Qin's car.
It wasn't until the carriage slowly started and Xuanping Houfu was left far behind the car that Xia Jin said to Xia Qi: "What happened in Houfu today, you can tell me about it 1510." ”
Although Xia Qi didn't know her intentions, she still honestly told today's events.
After hearing Luo Qian's words persuading Xia Qi to write poems, Xia Jin sighed and leaned back, no longer having doubts in his heart.
When she treated Luo Qian, Luo Qian's eyes fell on her hand, and she knew that one day she would definitely wear a man's clothes. A woman's hand is very different from a man's hand. When she dressed as a man in modern times, she would wear a pair of gloves made of silicone, which made her whole hand bigger, thicker joints, and her fingerprints changed. The devil is in the details, and this is especially important when you're pretending to be on a mission.
But there were no such silicone gloves in ancient times, and she couldn't help it.
"What's wrong?" Xia Qi saw that she suddenly became depressed, and hurriedly asked.
"It's fine." Xia Jin didn't want Xia Qi to know about it. Without his involvement, she talked to Luo Qian in private, or continued to get along as usual, or never interacted again, it was all between the two, simple and clear. As soon as Xia Qi came in, the situation became complicated.
The distance between Xuanping Houfu and Luofu is closer than the distance from the Xia family. When he came, Luo Qian deliberately walked a little longer to pick them up. Now going back, it doesn't have to be so troublesome, and the two carriages stopped in front of the Luofu Gate first.
Luo Qian got out of the car and came over to say goodbye to the Xia family brothers and sisters. He didn't look at Xia Jin either, but said to Xia Qi: "Walking like this today, I feel very tired, and I think my body has not recovered yet." You are tired today, too, go back and rest. Ming'er is free, come and help me prescribe a few pairs of medicines to adjust my body. ”
Xia Qi subconsciously wanted to turn his head to look at Xia Jin, but halfway through, he suddenly reacted, stopped his neck, turned back again, smiled at Luo Qian, nodded, and replied, "Okay." ”
Luo Qian arched his hand to them, then stepped aside, and motioned for Uncle Luo to drive off, without looking at Xia Jin from beginning to end. (To be continued)
