Chapter 11 Gift List
Su Taishou saw that Su Rong no longer asked, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Rong glimpsed it and thought speechlessly, he didn't know what he was hiding from her, what was there to hide, she was so old, and she was not a three-year-old child.
It seems that she is afraid that she is not going to count on the side of the Protector Mansion.
As soon as she thought of the Protector Mansion, someone came to say, "Master, Miss Seven, the Protector Mansion has come to give a gift." ”
Su Taishou was startled and turned his head to look, "What did you say?" ”
The person who came was panting, but the words were clear, "Master, it was the Li escort sent by the lady to the capital to deliver a letter to the Protector Mansion came back, saying that Zhou Xiaogongzi also came to Jiangning and brought two big car gifts, saying that it was a gift for Miss Seven." ”
Su Tai stood up with a shocked expression, "Little Master Zhou is here in Jiangning?" ”
"Yes, I came with Escort Li."
"Where are the others now? Coming to our house? ”
"No, no, Zhou Xiaogongzi said that people should send gifts first, and then come back to visit another day."
Su Taishou breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to have another day." ”
He turned his head to Su Rong and said, "Dad looks like this, I really can't see guests, Dad goes to bathe, you go to ...... first", halfway through his speech, his eyes fell on the scar on Su Rong's forehead, and he changed his words, "No, don't go either, let your mother take the ceremony!" ”
At this moment, he felt that he couldn't take it, and his daughter couldn't take it, and he couldn't be seen, even if Zhou Gu didn't come in person.
Su Rong was also very surprised in her heart, she knew that the eldest lady had sent someone to the capital, but she didn't expect that the Protector Mansion would send Zhou Gu to Jiangning in person, could this marriage contract really come true?
She was a little dazed, "Father, go quickly!" ”
Su Taishou nodded, stopped talking to her daughter, and hurried away with a gust of wind.
Su Rong turned his head to look at Wang Ma and Yuewan.
Wang Ma and Yuewan immediately understood, and dropped the embroidery work at hand, "Let's go and take a look for Miss Seven." ”
The room was quiet, and Su Rong was thinking more about her mother's true deeds, who had been dead for many years, and had no intention of destroying the marriage so far.
After all, if she divorced her marriage, it would be too simple, and there was no need to send Zhou Gu to come in person. Zhou Gu came in person, indicating that the Protector Mansion not only recognized this marriage, but also put it on the agenda.
She also thought that Zhou Gu was robbing women with others, making such a big fuss, and this marriage was going to be yellow.
In the front hall, even though Zhou Gu did not come to the door in person, the eldest lady still came forward in person and received Zhou Xi, the steward of the Protector's Mansion.
Zhou Xi is in his thirties, he is a very delicate character, seeing that the eldest lady received him in person, he solemnly bowed, and then said beautiful words, "My little son has just arrived in Jiangning, and he has been tired of traveling and driving, and it is late today, so it is not convenient to come to the door, so I sent a small one to come and send the gifts prepared by the old country first." Don't blame Madam, my little son will come to see you another day. ”
Where will the eldest lady be blamed? After all, such a valuable prospective son-in-law came to Jiangning, if she suddenly came to the door today, there would be no preparations in the house, and she would feel numb all of a sudden, so it would be better to come to the door another day, and it would also allow her to have a buffer time to prepare.
So, the eldest lady smiled very dignified and kind, and said as if she didn't want money for her beautiful words: "What's the matter with Steward Zhou?" The little boy just arrived in Jiangning, and he wanted to rest quickly, but I don't know where the little boy stayed? In our house, there is also a place to live, and when we come to Jiangning, how can we be wronged by the little boy living outside? ”
Zhou Xi smiled, "Madame, don't worry, the little boy has been settled, just on East Street, rented a yard, don't bother Madame to arrange." ”
The eldest lady nodded when she heard this, "If you are not used to living, let the little boy come to our house, there is an idle courtyard in the front yard." ”
Zhou Xiying was, took out two more gift lists, and handed them to the eldest lady, "This is the gift list, this one is for Mrs. Taishou and the family members in the house, and this one is for Miss Seven." ”
The eldest lady took the gift list, although she had seen the two big carts of gifts, and was shocked, but after all, she hadn't read things carefully, and now she took the gift list, and after a cursory look, she was shocked again, "This, the gift given by the old man is too heavy." ”
Zhou Xi still smiled, "The old man said, he hasn't moved for many years, he is afraid of disturbing the purity of the Taishou Mansion, and now Miss Seven is about to be married, and the marriage with my little son should also be put on the agenda, and the two families will be relatives in the future. ”
Naturally, it is impossible for the eldest lady to shirk, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the old man? Just thinking of Su Rong, I felt that that thing was not worthy of such a solemn treatment from the Protector Mansion, but fortunately, Zhou Xiaogongzi made such a ridiculous incident a few days ago, and it was barely smoothed out, so that she would not be frightened and feel too flattered.
She smiled and thanked, "Thank you so much for the old man's concern, since this is the case, I will not shirk it." ”
Zhou Xi completed the task, retired with a smile, and was sent out of the Taishou Mansion by Li Fu, the housekeeper.
The eldest lady held two gift lists, looked at the strings of heavy gifts on them, and her heart was pounding, no wonder people said that if you get married, you can look at the three generations of the court, which is really not bad.
The Protector Mansion did things properly, and there was no mistake in giving gifts, and everyone in the Taishou Mansion gave gifts, and after the ceremony, they all remarked their names, and even Su Xing, who was studying in Yunshan Academy, was also polite.
And the gift list given to Su Rong is even more precious, and the dowry she prepared for the concubines of the Taishou Mansion is nothing more than that. But people said that this was just a gift to Miss Seven.
After reading the old Protector's earnest letter, the eldest lady called Li Yan, who had been waiting for a reply, to him and asked, "Is the Protector's Mansion just like a rumor?" ”
Li Yan nodded, "Mrs. Hui, as rumored, is very Xuanhe." ”
"What about Zhou Gu?"
"Zhou Xiaogongzi's subordinates have inquired about robbing women." Li Yan told the situation of going to Beijing to investigate on the first day, and then added, "Zhou Xiaogongzi is a good person, all the way to Jiangning, his subordinates observed him, I didn't see him have the bad habits of the high-ranking son, he is very easy-going, he doesn't criticize his subordinates, and he gets along very well." ”
After he finished speaking, he added, "Also, when we went out of Beijing, we met Xie Xiaowang from the Ruian Palace, and the two reconciled. walked for a hundred miles, as for what to say, the subordinate was a little far away, and I didn't hear it too clearly, anyway, the two of them talked along the way, and they didn't fight again. ”
The eldest lady didn't expect the two of them to fight so violently, and they reconciled so quickly, and it was really a young man. She nodded, relieved, "You're tired from running to the capital, go down and rest!" ”
Li Yan should have retreated.
After Su Taishou finished bathing, he came immediately, and when he saw the eldest lady holding two gift slips, he was stunned, and he asked, "What's wrong?" People gone? ”
"Gone." The eldest lady handed him the letter and two gift slips of the old protector, and said Zhou Xi's words again, and at the end, sighed, "It's like a dream, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to marry more than ten days ago." ”
Su Taishou: "......"
