Chapter 463: It's really generous
When he asked this sentence, he was a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, Steward Huo has always been measured, and he didn't show the slightest strange look, and hearing this was as natural as something else that Xiao Yu asked about on weekdays.
"It's the old slave who was negligent, the princess's birthday has already been sent, and the old slave didn't find out about this, please forgive the prince."
"So you should give some gifts?"
Steward Huo nodded lightly, "The argument is that it really should be so."
"What should the king send?"
This was a bit embarrassing for Steward Huo, and he thought for a while before he said, "Usually given to the girl's house, most of them are delicate things such as ornaments, jewelry, etc., and there are no such things in the treasury of our house, so the old slave ordered someone to send some over."
Xiao Yu thought about it carefully, when Xie Songhua received the jewelry from Xie Wenyuan and them at the Xie family, he seemed to be really happy.
But......
Her pleasure seemed to be in terms of the value of those things, after all, she had not really worn them.
Is it possible to send her money directly?
That doesn't seem right.
With a flash of inspiration, Xiao Yu hurriedly stopped Steward Huo, who was about to retreat, "That's it, this king will send it himself!"
The surprise in Steward Huo's eyes was almost uncontrollable, and it took a lot of effort to keep himself from being surprised.
Sure enough, Commander Huang has the eyesight, and last time he just casually mentioned that there should be a princess in the house, and he was so open, the prince didn't feel annoyed at all.
It seems that the Holy One is not all nonsense.
On last year's birthday, Xie Songhua spent it with Jiang Shuhua, it was her first birthday after coming to Xie Mansion, and it was also her gift.
But that birthday was lived according to the calculated day, strictly speaking, it was not her real birthday.
When it came to the real birthday, it was deserted, and only Yu Ruzhuo gave her a gift.
Still is...... Her most precious gift.
But on this year's birthday, the Xie family is not sloppy at all, and when they asked for peace in Shou'an Hall last night, the old lady said, "Today is going to be lively.
No one has an opinion on such an arrangement.
In view of the fact that the Qi family brought a lot of things over two days ago, the old lady was quite satisfied, so this time she made it clear that the Qi family was Xie Songhua's mother-in-law, and this time the matter of Xie Songhua's birthday celebration was taught to the Qi family to handle.
Such a trivial matter originally did not need to be opened by the old lady herself, but this time the arrangement revealed a message, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Qi family will be in charge of the middle feed of the mansion again.
Yu doesn't care, her mother's family is not high, but it is also low, and it is at the middle level between the three concubines.
Her husband is also doing well in the Ministry of Rites now, and she should be about to be promoted, and her own dowry is rich enough, but with a son and a daughter, she is the one with the least pressure.
An Shi is naturally dissatisfied, but now her mentality is much better than before, and the most important thing is that her son is now a serious five-grade official, and she feels that she should also show some identity and attitude.
But the Qi clan didn't see how happy they were.
secretly felt that the old lady was a good person, and deliberately used Xie Songhua's birthday as a stepping stone to reactivate her.
No matter what the concubines were thinking, Xie Songhua's birthday was still lively.
Early in the morning, the maids of Chuntai got up, freshened up one by one, and then came over to pay tribute to Xie Songhua.
She was only sixteen years old, and so many people came forward one after another to say auspicious words, as if she were an old lady with white hair.
This is a scene that has never been seen in a previous life!
Fortunately, with Aunt Lan's suggestion, she took the lotus package last night and gave them different rewards, which were sent to them at this time.
Then accompanied by Aunt Lan, she went to Shou'an Hall to kowtow to the old lady, and then went to Mengpoju and Yihetang to kowtow to Xie Yuncang and Qi's family.
A few elders knocked forward
After receiving a lot of rewards, and then going back to the banquet platform, other peers and housekeepers and ladies from all over the house came to pay her birthday greetings.
A lot of shou noodles have already been sent in the big kitchen, and when people come, they are greeted by the maids of Yanchun Tai to eat noodles.
During this time, he has been very quiet and honest, doing some things in the yard as much as he can.
Today, I also presented my birthday gift early, and I received it with others.
A few young sisters were playing and laughing in the living room, and at noon the whole family sat down to eat together, and even Xie Langhua and Xie Wenhua came back.
The brothers also had their own gifts.
The crowd rejoiced in harmony.
Even Xie Sihua had a smile on his face.
Only Qi's eyes felt sour, and she sent someone to the East Palace early this morning to send Jiang Shuhua a birthday gift, but thinking that her daughter is now in the East Palace and has a low position, I am afraid that no one will remember her birthday.
The lively scene I saw in front of me was simply one heaven and one underground, and my heart was panicked.
It's just that it's not good to show it in front of everyone.
Before the banquet began, I saw the housekeeper of the outer courtyard walking in with a smile, "The palace sent a birthday gift to our girl, and the slave and maid specially sent it."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The prince is a person who knows how to count etiquette."
According to the number of etiquette, the man should indeed give the woman a gift, and everyone up and down the house knows it.
It's just that no one dares to mention this, after all, the other party is King Chen, if he doesn't send it, can he still talk nonsense?
Who knew that it would actually be made up at this time.
"What about people? Why don't you stay if someone is here?"
"It was sent by the steward of the palace, and the front yard is entertaining, but it is not good to come to the inner courtyard at this hour."
Hearing that it was the steward who came, the old lady ordered someone to entertain her, and then looked at the gift box, "I don't know what the prince gave to the three girls."
Everyone's eyes fell on Xie Songhua for a while, as if they were waiting for her to go over and take a look.
Xie Songhua was a little helpless, and said that it was sent by the steward, and he knew that it was selected by the people under the palace, but it was just those things.
With so many people's eyes staring, she couldn't say no.
Xie Wenhua stepped forward and took the box directly, "I don't know what I sent, just open it and see if you know."
With such a small box, everyone actually guessed that it would be some kind of delicate jewelry or something.
Who knew that Xie Wenhua took out a few pieces of paper inside, "What is this?"
He handed the box out, then shook off the piece of paper on it, the expression on his face froze a little, turned his face to look at Xie Songhua, and then exclaimed, "Yes! This Xiao Yu is so generous."
"Don't be rude!" The old lady immediately scolded before asking, "Is this ...... Shop?"
"Not really!" Xie Wenhua sent the piece of paper to Xie Songhua's hand, "The jewelry shop on Zhengning Street, along with the livelihood of the shop, also got the paperwork and sent it over."
These words surprised everyone else in the house, there is a tidy-up shop on Zhengning Street, which has been open for decades, and the income is not small, so it was given to Xie Songhua as a birthday gift?
For a while, the eyes in the room looking at Xie Songhua changed again.
This King Chen is really ...... Generous!
