Chapter 29: Lu's Birthday (2)
Everyone looked up and saw that a set of delicate heads was placed in the box.
Each ornament is finely made and the colors are very bright, which looks as if they were tailor-made for Lu's.
The inside of the box is printed with the three words "Jin Jinxuan" in gilded black body.
The head of Jin Jin Xuan is all tailor-made for guests, and because of this, a set of head noodles also requires at least more than 3,000 taels of silver, and if the workmanship is exquisite, it requires a higher price.
The head of the box looks golden, and the hairpin is inlaid with purple jewelry, which makes people know its essence value at a glance, not to mention that the other jewelry is also very luxurious.
"This is my birthday gift to my mother-in-law, and it's not worth a few dollars. Su Li glanced at Hongyu, and Hongyu handed the box in his hand to the hand of the hollyhock beside the Lu family.
Not worth a few bucks!
"This set of noodles requires a lot of silver!" one of the ladies said, "Take the silver from Shangshufu to buy the noodles and give them to the lady, and the third girl is really good at borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." β
"Not really. The other lady chimed in, "If that's the case, how much silver does this Shangshu Mansion need to come up with to buy this set of noodles!"
"Third girl, I will accept your wishes, but this is all the silver of Shangshu Mansion, how can you squander it so much?" Lu Shi looked at Su Li, although there was a smile between his eyebrows, but there was doubt in his tone, as if he also thought that this was the silver of Shangshu Mansion.
"It seems a little inappropriate to borrow flowers to offer Buddha like this. The other lady smiled, "Third girl, your money is your father's money, how can this Shangshu Mansion allow you to squander it like this?"
Xiao Wen wanted to take a step forward, but was blocked by Su Li secretly with her hand, she looked at the ladies and smiled without saying a word.
"Three girls, why don't you speak?" Lu frowned slightly, "You tell me how much silver is needed first, how can you ......" Lu glanced at his head, although there was a bit of hope in his eyes, but he also knew that this represented the faΓ§ade of Shangshu Mansion, if it was so extravagant and wasteful, it would reach the ears of the Son of Heaven when the time came, and it was estimated that it would be another matter.
Thinking of this, Lu Shi's eyes looking at Su Li also changed.
Looking at the eyes of everyone watching the play, Su Li secretly hooked the corners of his lips, "All the ladies don't know that this face is not the silver of Shangshu Mansion. β
Su Li looked at them and continued to speak, "Everyone doesn't know, although my sisters are noble daughters, they are not as good as concubines, and the Lu family not only deducted our case silver, but also never added a new dress for us over the years. β
Looking at the look on Lu's face, Su Li continued to speak, "The clothes on our bodies were given to us by the fifth sister yesterday, and I wanted to go and withdraw the silver, but who knew that the housekeeper told me that I needed to get the consent of my mother-in-law." β
Su Li looked embarrassed, "I really can't do it, I thought that I would marry the prince in the future, so I took a lot of silver taels from the prince." Su Li walked towards Shen Ci step by step, looking at Jiang Feng standing beside him with a smile in the corner of his eyes, "Young Master Jiang, why don't you testify for me?"
"Exactly. Jiang Feng looked at everyone and said in a low voice, "When I went to visit the courtyard of Miss Su with the prince before, I found that although they were concubines, they did not live as well as concubines. β
Jiang Feng also set his eyes on the head, "Even though Madame treats Miss Su so ruthlessly, Miss Su San still has a pure heart and gives Madame such a set of heads." β
Jiang Feng shook his head helplessly as he spoke, "Madam, how can you say this?"
Su Li took out the receipt that he had prepared a long time ago from his sleeve and put it in front of them, "Jin Jinxuan's note, it is clearly written that this set of heads costs five thousand taels of silver. β
After making sure that the Lu family saw the silver taels on it clearly, Su Li put away the note and put it in her sleeve, and she said respectfully to Lu's face, "Since my grandmother doesn't like this set of head noodles, then after the incident, I will return this set of head noodles." β
After Su Li glanced at Hongyu, Hongyu stepped forward and took back the box in Hollyhock's hand.
Seeing the look on Lu's face, Su Li secretly hooked the corners of his lips.
"Not as good as a maid?" said a lady.
"Didn't you buy a new dress during the New Year's holidays?" another lady echoed, "It is said that the Lu family took very careful care of the first lady's daughter, but who knew that this was the case?"
Lu Shi secretly clenched the hand hanging by his side, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
While everyone was talking, Su Li quietly left with Hongyu and the others, as if they had never experienced such a farce.
And this is the situation that Su Li wants to see the most.
Su Li walked to Shen Ci's side step by step, and said with a smile, "Ah Ci, it's been a long time! Wait a minute, I'll take you to the yard for a walk." β
Shen Ci held Su Li's hand, and then looked at Jiang Feng on the side, "Brother Feng, go back first." β
Jiang Feng closed the fan in his hand and saluted Shen Ci, "Then I'll go back to the palace first." He also looked at Su Li's body, "I also hope that the princess will take good care of the princess." β
Su Li clenched Shen Ci's hand and raised his eyes to look at Jiang Feng, "He is my husband, I will naturally take good care of him." β
After seeing Jiang Feng leave, Su Li was ready to take Shen Ci to the Dawn House together, and when they came over in the morning, Su Li instructed Zi Su to prepare some pastries, which could now be used to entertain Shen Ci.
Su Li sat in the courtyard with Shen Ci for a while, she entertained Shen Ci with a lot of food, and finally she took out a flute and played a tune for Shen Ci to listen to.
"Lady, I'm so sleepy!" Shen Ci rubbed his eyes as he spoke.
Su Li glanced at Shen Ci, pulled Shen Ci and walked towards her room, "Then Ah Ci sleeps here obediently, I will always accompany Ah Ci!"
"Okay!" Shen Ci said, hugging Su Li's neck and dropping a kiss on her cheek.
Su Li lit a little incense in Yuanding, and only turned to leave after making sure that Shen Ci was asleep, but she also ignored the corners of Shen Ci's lips.
Su Li returned to the front hall, and after she turned around, she didn't find Xiao Wen's figure, and in the end she only saw Su Yun standing under a tree and chatting with a lady.
When Su Li walked to Su Yun's side, he was told by Su Yun that the lady in front of him was Wen's handkerchief, and now she was the wife of the general of the auxiliary state, Yuan.
"You and your mother are really too similar. Yuan Shi looked at Su Li with a stunned expression, "If your face is intact, it will be like carved out of the same mold as her." As she spoke, she took a handkerchief to wipe away the tears that had not fallen, "The Lu family only relied on her early death to blatantly bully you like this!"
"It's not about bullying, I did a lot of wrong things in the past. Su Li looked at Yuan's pretending to be relaxed, "I simply woke up in time, so I didn't go astray." β
The Yuan clan was about to open his mouth when he saw the maid beside Xiao Wen walking towards him.
She looked at Su Li with a hint of worry on her face, "Third girl, my aunt is a little uncomfortable now, so I specially asked the slave maid to come to you to take a look." β
"Okay, I'll go over later. Su Li looked at her with a slight smile on his face.
After making sure that the person turned to leave, Su Li raised his eyes and looked at Su Yun and Yuan beside him, "Sister, since my aunt is looking for me, then I will go and see my aunt first." β
Su Yun didn't doubt it, but ordered, "Auntie's body is not good at all during this time, you should pay attention to it then." β
She hugged Su Yun's body and said in her ear with a smile, "Since my grandmother wants to use my aunt to deal with us, how can I sit still and throw myself into the net?"
