Part 1 Staggered Time and Space Chapter 4 The Journey of the Kingdom of Li

Section 344 Gifts (4)

Shi Ying entertained her good sisters in the boudoir, a total of four girls, and the most common topic for the girls to talk about when they got together was also the Qinghu Courtyard, Shi Mi and Cheng Jingjing were also among them. These two people have liked to stay with Shi Ying since they went to Qinghu Courtyard with Shi Ying. The other two girls are also Shi Ying's close friends, expressing their envy for her from time to time, and asking from time to time what interesting things are in the Qinghu Courtyard.

Shi Ying is a hearty character, when people asked, she replied, what novel food, flowers and plants that have never been seen before, trees with all kinds of bewitching flowers, and the other two girls were amazed.

In the middle of the hot chat, someone came to report: "Miss Yu, Deacon Changshen of Qinghu Villa is visiting." ”

Everyone looked at Shi Ying. How can there be a direct visit to my daughter's house.

Shi Ying thought for a moment and said, "Daddy and eldest brother know?" ”

The next said: "The lord entertained the prince and His Royal Highness the second prince in the front yard, and I already knew it, that is, the lord said that the young lady should go to the front yard to meet guests." ”

Shi Ying asked, "Do you know what is going on?" ”

The subordinate said: "It was said that the gift from the county lord of Shun'an had arrived, and Deacon Chang Shen said that the gift given by the county lord must be delivered to the young lady in person, and it cannot be handed over to others." ”

Shi Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart jumped with joy.

Nodding his head, "I know, I'll be over later." ”

The subordinate leaned over again and said, "Deacon Chang Shen also said that when Miss went, she called Miss Mi and Miss Jingjing together." ”

After hearing this, Shi Ying and the other two glanced at each other, and Cheng Jingjing said, "How did he know that we were here." ”

The next man said: "The eldest prince also asked, Deacon Chang Shen said that he went to the house of the two girls and asked, and learned that the person had come to the young lady." ”

Shi Ying: "Oh, okay, let's get ready and go over." ”

The subordinate saluted, "Yes, miss." The slave maid went back to the front yard first. ”

"There you go."

After the next person left, several girls became lively again.

"Ying'er, what is a deacon?"

"Ying'er, what did the lord of Shun'an send?"

"Ying'er 。。。。。"

"Alright, alright." Shi Ying interrupted them, "Where do I know so much, I can't entertain you today, you have also seen, I still have something to do here, and I will ask you to make amends another day." Shi Ying said flatteringly.

A girl sighed: "Hey, I finally came out here, since you sister Jing have something to do, I don't want to go anywhere else, so let's go back." ”

Another girl said: "I also came out with great difficulty, but I don't want to go back so early, Sister Mo, why don't I come to you and sit there." ”

The girl named Mo'er said, "Okay, the kite is looser than me, where is it like me, if you want to go to another house, you must ask your grandmother for instructions." ”

Kite said: "Although your mother-in-law is stricter, fortunately she didn't treat you badly, don't think about it so much." ”

The two got up, Shi Ying personally sent it to the east gate of the backyard, and when she saw the two of them getting into the carriage, she turned around and pulled Shi Mi and Cheng Jingjing to the front yard together.

Chang Shen was sitting in the lower guest seat opposite Shi Hu, Lord Shi Lang originally wanted him to sit in the first guest seat opposite King Bowei, but he refused as a person, and if he didn't sit, it would seem that the Shi family was not considerate.

Chang Shen is a simple person, and after some reasons, he persuaded Lord Shi to sit opposite Shi Hu, and all the etiquette of the two parties, everyone in the hall wanted to look at him differently, and Lord Shi said that he didn't look like a subordinate no matter how he looked at it.

The prince also talked to him on the side. found that whether this person was talking to Shi Hu with the lowest status or talking to his highest self, he had an attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, and he was full of worries in his heart.

While talking, Shi Ying took Mi and Jing to the front of the hall: "I've seen my father, my Royal Highness the Prince, and my cousin." ”

Mi and Jing also stepped forward to salute.

After a salute, Shi Ying faced Chang Shen, who had already stood up: "I've seen Deacon Shen, and we're meeting again so soon." ”

Chang Shen smiled and said, "It's rare that Miss Shi Ying can remember me." ”

Shi Ying said: "Where can I not remember, I can almost remember the people who are always around Yuqing in the Qinghu Courtyard." ”

Chang Shen bowed his head and said, "Miss Shi Ying is smart. ”

Shi Ying took a step forward and said, "I heard that Deacon Shen came here for the gift that Yuqing gave me. ”

Chang Shen looked at the waiter behind him carrying a few gift boxes and gestured.

The waiter stepped forward.

Chang Shen took a delicate square box and handed it to Shi Ying with both hands: "This is for Miss Shi Ying, Miss said that she can meet so many friends to talk about this time, thanks to Miss Shi Ying's lead, so Miss Shi Ying's gift is the most important for Miss." ”

Shi Ying took it, just looking at the surface of the box, she felt that it was very valuable, and after looking at it a few times, she said happily: "I really want to see what kind of gift it is." ”

Chang Shen's eyes were gentle and said, "Since it has been sent to Miss Shi Ying, Miss Shi Ying can be the master." ”

Shi Ying thought for a while, afraid that Yueqing would do something in the gift, so she endured it. "It's better to demolish it in private, it's not good if it makes people worry about it again."

Everyone laughed and Chang Shen nodded. Shi Rong sighed in his heart.

Chang Shen then said to Mi and Jing: "This is a gift from the two girls. ”

As he spoke, he handed the two boxes to them with both hands. Shi Mi's box is not big, smaller than Shi Ying, but longer. Cheng Jingjing's is longer than hers, long and flat, and both of them happily accept it.

According to Cheng Jingjing's temperament, I wanted to take out the gift to take a look, but I also knew that this occasion was not suitable, so I put away the gift and retreated. Shi Mi looked even more timid, so many people didn't dare to speak at all.

Chang Shen nodded and smiled at the two, turned around and handed over the gifts of King Bowei, Rong and Hu one by one, and explained them separately.

When he handed it to King Bowei, he smiled meaningfully: "Miss said that this gift was prepared by Miss with a lot of effort, and even the share of losing to King Bowei in the last game is also counted." ”

King Bowei held the most ordinary and light box that could not be lighter for a while, and he didn't know what the Lord of Shun'an had put a lot of effort into preparing.

The prince saw that the three of them also had gifts, but they were only sent out behind the three daughters, although he felt strange in his heart, but he thought that there might be some strange customs in the villa, and he didn't open his mouth to ask. Lord Shi Lang also touched his beard thoughtfully.

Seeing that Chang Shen had finished giving them, Shi Ying asked, "Deacon Shen, Sister Fei'er and their gifts have also been delivered?" ”

Deacon Shen smiled: "Naturally, all of them have been delivered this morning." ”

Shi Rong smiled: "But a few Red Guard sons sent it?" ”

Deacon Shen looked at him and said, "The Red Guards will not leave Miss's side unless they have Miss's order. ”

The implication is that the other entourages come to the door to send gifts, although I don't know how many people are around the county lord, but the people who often follow the county lord will naturally have a higher status than others, although this Chang Shen deacon does not often get along, but he is also an important person. The identities of Mo Xue and the others would not be sent to give gifts to them.

King Bowei stepped forward and said, "It's really tiring that Deacon Shen ran a trip, and another day the king will come to the door to express his gratitude." ”

Chang Shen said with a smile: "King Bowei is polite, Chang Shen is a servant, where do you need the prince to come to thank him in person, Miss has an order, Chang Shen naturally does not dare to slack off." ”

Shi Lang ordered someone to bring up a box of silver taels, handed it over and said, "A little heart is not a respect, I hope Deacon Changshen will accept it." ”

Chang Shen glanced at the silver tael, hooked his lips and smiled, "Lord Shi is polite." After speaking, he took it with one hand and handed it to the attendant behind him. Then he said: "The gifts have been delivered, and Chang Shen said goodbye." ”

Shi Lang hurriedly asked the housekeeper to send him out.

Seeing that the people were far away, Shi Hu said, "What does this deacon mean?" ”

Shi Rong glanced at him and said, "It should be a title of official position in the villa, we also heard this title in Xibao City, and Yue Ren next to the city lord of Xibao City is called Deacon Ren." You forgot? ”

Shi Hu touched his head, "Where do I remember this?" We haven't had a few times in total, and usually some servants and guards deal with us, or the city lord himself comes to talk to the prince. What kind of Yueren, I seem to have only seen it two or three times. I don't even remember anyone calling him that. ”

Shi Rong clasped his arms in both hands, "You still have some images, we have seen him three times in total, when we arrived in Xibao City, we received us with the city lord once, once after staying in the hall, and once in the county lord's mansion." The second time we met, someone called him Deacon Ren, and he looked respectful. In addition, although the status of the villa is very different from ours here, there are also high and low, when we arrive in Xibao City, judging from the position of this benevolent deacon, it should be more important than those city officials. ”

The prince said: "Prince Rong is really careful, it seems that the status of this deacon will not be too low." ”

Shi Rong touched his chin and said, "According to my guess, even if it is not as good as Mo Xue and a few people, it is much stronger than those Red Guards." After all, the people around the county lord are fixed, although these deacons didn't go out with them last time, but on the way from the villa to Li Kingdom, they were the people who often consulted with the Moxue Gongzi and Chang Ge Gongzi. ”

I have to say that Shi Rong is delicate and has guessed most of the right.

Shi Lang hurriedly said: "In this way, I didn't do a good job of the silver two just now. ”

Shi Rong said with a smile: "Father doesn't have to think so, this person is not a person of good wealth at first glance, no matter whose gift he gives us when he gives us, he will give it with both hands." The demeanor is moderate, and the solemnity is incomparable, but when he receives the silver two, he only takes it over with one hand, and gives it to the attendant behind him, which shows that the silver two is nothing in his eyes, but it is not good to refute our face, and I only accept the silver two. I think even if my father didn't give him silver taels, but gold jewelry, he would do the same. ”

The prince frowned: "It's not easy to deal with such a person. ”

King Bowei said: "None of these people around the county lord are easy to deal with, Your Highness has been communicating with that Moxue boy for a long time, what do you think of that Moxue boy?" ”

The crown prince shook his head and said: "This Mr. Mo acts very measuredly, and always communicates with this palace not far away, which makes this palace feel that he attaches great importance to me, but it is difficult to go further." However, this gentleman has entered the palace many times to see his father, and he has come privately through the internal servants and guards, and I think my father knows him very well. ”

King Bowei's heart skipped a beat, how could he not know this.

Shi Hu still touched his head, he didn't know anything about this, and changed the topic: "The customs of this villa are really strange, they actually give the boudoir woman a gift first, and then give the prince's gift." ”

The prince said: "I heard that the status of women in the villa is not lower than that of men, it seems to be true. ”

Shi Rong said: "The prince is right, other clans don't know, but the Yue clan is indeed like this, there are many women in charge, and there are even families with one woman and multiple husbands." I think the status of this Chang woman should be more important than that of the Yue family. ”

Shi Hu was shocked, "What, a woman with multiple husbands, what has become of this." ”

Shi Rong smiled: "Of course it is strange that you rarely pay attention to these, but this is not an unusual thing in the Yue clan. ”

Shi Hu said: "What, that Yue Ke Gongzi is also this kind of family?" ”

Shi Rong smiled: "He's not, he's never married." It's just that I don't know from Yue Ke, it's still easy to know this, after all, there are also people from the Yue family living here in Li Jingzhong. Even our Li people also have a combination with the Yue clan. ”

Shi Hu sighed.

Cheng Jingjing said: "No wonder the lord of Shun'an would say such bold words, it turns out that there is such a custom in the villa." ”

Everyone looked at them, and then remembered that there were three girls present, and King Bowei coughed.

Shi Lang hurriedly said: "Ying'er, you better go back, we still have something to talk about." ”

Shi Ying and the others hurriedly retreated to the backyard.

After seeing the third daughter leaving, the prince hurriedly said: "Elder Brother Huang, this prince is disappointed that he didn't receive this gift, so don't take out your gift and let the palace see what it is." ”

King Bowei: "。。。。。。 ”
