Chapter 90: Eccentricity
Qin Guanrui was very aggrieved.
He came to his sister to brush his sense of existence, but he didn't expect that his sense of existence was not brushed, and he lost a big face.
can only give up his sister to the cold-faced Hades who kills people without blinking.
Seeing Qin Guanrui's aggrieved and unhappy look, Qin Chaojiu glanced at Zhujie and asked her to go first.
He turned his head and said, "I received a lot of New Year's gifts in Baifu today, and I suddenly remembered that the third brother doesn't seem to have prepared a gift for me."
Qin Chaojiu's palms were stretched upwards and stretched out in front of Qin Guanrui: "If the third brother is not prepared, the silver ticket is also okay, I have never picked it."
Qin Guanrui snorted, took out a small box from his arms and put it in her hand: "I came to give you a gift today, take it."
"What is it?"
Qin Chaojiu saw a red carved wooden box in his hand, and he was really a little curious.
When I opened it, it was a small transparent glass mirror.
In the world they are in now, most of them are still bronze mirrors, but there is a glass mirror in their Hou Mansion, but it is in Qin Jingxi's courtyard.
Seeing that Qin Chaojiu was a little stunned, Qin Guanrui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, revealing a smug look: "Hehe, I haven't seen it, this thing came from overseas Fanbang, I asked me to get such a small piece, you can take it with you, although you can look in the mirror, it is very clear."
Qin Chaojiu is a system that travels through countless small worlds, and this thing is really nothing unusual to her.
The small modern urban world she has been to, such a small mirror, which is given for free when girls buy skin care products.
When I got here, I was still a baby.
"Thank you, third brother, I will definitely carry such a precious thing with me." Qin Chaojiu raised a smile on his face and thanked Qin Guanrui.
In any case, in this small ancient world, it was indeed not easy for Qin Guanrui to get it.
It can be seen that it is with heart.
Dong Lotus asked with a smile on the side, "The third prince is so good to our young lady, Xixue Yuan knows about it, but he wants to be angry."
Qin Guanrui glanced up at the winter lotus root, and said, "Last year, Jingxi said that she wanted a set of sapphire heads, and I naturally wanted to give it to her this year."
It turned out to be something that had been promised last year, and whether it was valuable or not, it shouldn't be picked.
"By the way, Asahyu, my mother is now counting the dowry for you and Jingxi, why don't you go over and take a look?" When Qin Guanrui remembered it, he heard someone mention it, so he spoke.
Qin Chaojiu shook his head, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.
Qin Guanrui said, "It's okay if you don't go, anyway, you and Jingxi are the concubines of our Hou Mansion, and my mother won't favor one over the other."
"If the third brother really thinks so, he won't come to talk to me about this."
Since he said it, he had doubts about it in his heart, so he reminded her whether she wanted to go over and have a look.
Qin Guanrui's face froze, he didn't seem to realize that he actually thought so in his heart.
At this time, he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Third brother, don't worry, I don't care about these things outside my body, and King Beimu treats me sincerely, and he will not treat me differently because of the thickness of the dowry." Qin Chaojiu comforted again.
There are some things that don't have much to do with whether to fight or not.
But Qin Guanrui couldn't understand what Qin Chaojiu was thinking, and only thought that she was too disappointed, so she would say this.
He could only pray secretly, hoping that his mother would be a little fairer.
At this time, Bai Wan, who was preparing pretendies for Qin Chaojiu and Qin Jingxi's two daughters, was sitting on a mahogany chair, with two large boxes in front of her, as well as things that people brought up one after another.
"This jade bracelet is the best match for Jingxi, this is good, this one is for the eldest lady."
"There are exactly two pairs of celadon vases, one pair for each person
The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and none of them can be wronged." z.br>
As soon as Bai Wan finished sighing at her fairness and justice, as soon as her words fell, she saw a set of mandarin duck earrings and necklaces.
"This set of mandarin duck jewelry may be a little too ostentatious, and the girl Chaojiu is introverted, and she may not like it very much, so give it to Jingxi."
"Yes!"
The subordinate answered, and then packed this set of jewelry and put it into Qin Jingxi's dowry box.
"Madam, these two Zhuangzi, one is in the small town of Pingzhou, and the other is in the suburbs of Beijing, how do you think you want to marry?"
Bai Wan thought for a moment and said: "Jingxi has grown up in the capital since she was a child, and she is also familiar with the capital, if she marries the Zhuangzi from the countryside to her, it will not be convenient to take care of it in the future. Let's marry the Zhuangzi in the countryside to the second lady, and the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing to marry the eldest lady."
"Yes, ma'am."
After Bai Wan distributed all the dowries of her two daughters, she suddenly found that the difference between the two dowries was twice as long.
Bai Wan couldn't help but be stunned.
She knew very well and asked the maid who was in charge of recording on the side, "How did you write it, why is it so bad?" If I was seen by Chaojiu's careful eyes, wouldn't I have to say that I am a mother again?"
The little maid only handed Qin Jingxi's dowry list to Bai Wan, and did not rush to speak, but said in a formal manner: "Madam, please see, there are things on this list that the slave and maid have misremembered, if there is, the slave and maid will correct it immediately."
Bai Wan took it confidently, it must have been wrong, and it was a lot wrong.
She compared each item with the list.
It is true that everything she wants to give to Qin Jingxi, and nothing is misremembered by the maid.
Bai Wan looked at Qin Chaojiu's dowry list again, and said firmly, "That must be the second young lady's young memory."
She knew that she had given Jingxi two more things, but there were only one or two more, how could there be such a big difference?
However, when Qin Chaojiu's dowry list and items were compared together, it was the same, no more, no less.
Bai Wan stood in place and was stunned for a long time.
It wasn't until someone came in at the door, and then a cold wind blew in her face, that Bai Wan came back to her senses.
Does she really like her eldest daughter so much?
In the bottom of my heart, I also felt a little guilty about Qin Chaojiu, but more, I recalled Qin Jingxi's little by little from childhood to adulthood, so I comforted myself.
It is normal for her to feel more distressed about Jingxi, after all, it is the child she raised since childhood.
"Is it all Jingxi's dowry here?"
Qin Guanming pushed the door in, looked at the scene where one side was already full of two boxes, and the other side was only half of the two boxes.
Bai Wan said: "Naturally, it can't be just two boxes, isn't that a joke, these are relatively valuable things, our Houfu's daughter is married, how can she have to carry a dowry, in addition to these, there are also some cloth and porcelain, all in the warehouse, and they haven't been loaded yet."
Qin Guanming frowned, obviously his mother didn't understand the meaning of his words.
"Mother, sit down."
Qin Guanming's expression was a little solemn, he helped Bai Wan to the side and sat down, and waved his hand at the people below.
Bai Wan unconsciously showed a little doubt: "What's the matter, you still want to drive everyone out?"
After all the subordinates retreated, Qin Guanming suddenly sighed: "In the past, my sister Chaojiu said that our whole family did not regard her as a family member, and she was even more partial to Jingxi, I have always felt that she just doesn't know how to be content, she doesn't understand things. If she hadn't kept the blood of our Qin family, how could she have the opportunity to come to the capital and live in our Hou Mansion. She should be grateful to us for living like this."
Bai Wan couldn't help but nodded, thinking deeply of Qin Guanming's words.
"But, me
It was only later that we realized that what we thought was fair was actually not fair. Whether it's for Jingxi or for Asahyu, maybe we were wrong from the beginning." Qin Guanming suddenly changed his words and looked up at Bai Wan.
Bai Wan looked surprised and even more ridiculous: "What are you talking about? Qin Chaojiu has been acting rudely, without rules, selfishly and only thinking about herself, let alone me and your father, I can treat her well as always, isn't that enough?"
"If it weren't for her being my own child, I wouldn't even be able to take a second look at someone else's daughter. Cheng'en, when you say this, you're hurting your mother's heart!"
Cheng'en is Qin Guanming's word, which shows that his words really touched Bai Wan's heart.
"Let's not talk about the past for the time being, but talk about today and now." Qin Guanming also thought about it for a long time before he decided to go on a trip today, and what he saw and heard was indeed the same as he guessed, he pointed to the two boxes on the left and right sides of the ground and said, "Mother, can't you see it yourself? Do you think that's fair to Sister Asahyu?"
Bai Wan's lips trembled, and she had nothing to say.
But in the face of her son's accusation, she also felt angry and unbearable, and unconsciously swept the teacup in her hand to the ground: "It turns out that you also think that it is my fault as a mother, will I not feel sorry for my own flesh and blood? I'm just, too...... It's not sorted out yet, and your sister's dowry will naturally not be less than others!"
Qin Guanming's heart suddenly chuckled.
Did he misunderstand his mother?
"Mother, I ......" Qin Guanming immediately wanted to explain.
saw that Bai Wan had turned her head away from him: "Go out, I don't want to talk to you now."
Qin Guanming had no choice but to bow and say, "It's the child who blames the mother, and said something that made the mother sad, and asked the mother to forgive me. The child will come back tomorrow to greet his mother."
After saying this, Qin Guanming got up and left.
After Qin Guanming left, Bai Wan sat there alone for a long time, and finally couldn't help shedding tears.
What did she do wrong?
It was her child who was held wrong, but if she was wrong, she was wrong, why was God so cruel, sixteen years later, he still had to tell her the truth, so that she knew that the child she loved for sixteen years was not her own.
How did the child she spent all her effort raising become someone else's family?
No one ever came to comfort her, and no one knew how she felt after learning the truth.
Those hateful people even said "congratulations" to her left and right, congratulating her on finding her biological daughter.
But what is there to congratulate?
Such a thing that can't be put on the table, she is not rare at all!
No one knows how much she is afraid of losing Jingxi and losing the good daughter she raised since childhood.
She naturally wants to spoil her and indulge her, and she must not let her think that she doesn't want her because she has found her biological daughter.
Whoever raised the child is distressed, if she doesn't love Jingxi, is it difficult to let Jingxi go to Wen's country lady to be her mother?
Thinking of this, Bai Wan couldn't help but grab the clothes in front of her again.
It's a pity that no one understands what is on her mind.
Even her own son came to accuse her and question her, which made her feel more and more uncomfortable.
"Someone."
Bai Wan sat here alone for a while before calling someone in.
"You go and bring my dowry list, I remember that there is also a set of four treasures in the study room and a painting of a lamb kneeling mother, and add these two things to the second lady's dowry alley."
Chunyu was the eldest maid beside Bai Wan, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she heard this: "Madam, I heard Aunt Xiao say that the four treasures of the study and that painting were your favorites when you were a girl at home, haven't you always been reluctant to take them out to add dowries to the two young ladies?"
"If you are told to go, you will go!"
Bai Wan snorted impatiently.
Chunyu quickly shut up and obediently retreated.
Those two things are naturally her favorites,
Even Qin Jingxi was reluctant to give it.
But now, if you don't give Qin Chao a long time, won't you sit on your partiality, and you will be suspicious of your own son.
Now, she has to give up.
