Chapter 55: Father's Debt Paid by Son

Qinxin Temple.

Shangshu and Shen Shi of the Ministry of Rites led people to send the dowry to the hospital.

Dowry gifts such as silk and satin were included in the treasury of Qinxin Courtyard.

Live chickens, fish, seafood, etc., there are already small servants who take care of their ancestors and generally serve them well.

Therefore, what is now delivered to the outhouse is precious jewelry and other small items.

When Su Ruotang came out of complete body care, he saw Lin Mu and the palace people putting away the exquisitely carved sandalwood box.

The outhouse was instantly filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.

Shen Shi took a few steps forward: "Miss Su, this is an additional dowry for you prepared by His Royal Highness." ”

As the words fell, he lifted the red silk covering the tray.

The jade carvings with a lustrous luster are revealed, and the twelve zodiac signs, each of which is lifelike, extremely exquisite, and the jade is pure, fair, delicate and flawless.

Su Ruotang's pupils slowly enlarged, and her black and white smart peach blossom eyes were full of shock.

"This is the best mutton fat white jade?"

Shen Shi nodded, and said good things for His Highness, "Well, His Highness has spent countless efforts in order to gather twelve pieces of white jade, and every pattern is designed by His Highness himself. ”

Su Ruotang looked at the jade carving in the tray in a daze, and reacted for a while before coming back to his senses, "Your Royal Highness is the invisible boss?" ”

Shen Shi nodded inexplicably.

Didn't you say that the court marriage, the paper husband and wife?

Why take so much money to keep it?

Smacking his lips lightly, his eyes fell on Su Xiaojiao's wife Ruotang.

Those noble girls, I'm afraid they are even more jealous of Miss......

I said before that Miss would be a widow when she married His Royal Highness, and she was a noble girl who was not even as good as a maid, and she knew that Miss was the little wife in the book, and her face must be very exciting.

Su Ruotang carefully picked up a little tiger with a dull head, and the exquisite carving instantly amazed her.

No matter what Mo Yingyan's purpose was in sending her the jade carving.

At least this gift was sent to her heart.

Pursing her lips, she looked at Qingwan, "Qingwan, go to my room and bring the mahogany box on the low couch next to the bed." ”

Only then did the Ministry of Rites Shangshu step forward and respectfully hand the golden carved jade phoenix hairpin to Su Ruotang.

"Second Miss, Your Majesty specially instructed the ministers to be sure to send this golden carving phoenix hosta to you, which can be regarded as a dowry gift from him and Concubine Wan."

Su Ruotang lowered his eyes and looked-

He held a rosewood box in his hand, and in the box was a golden hairpin, on which was carved a golden phoenix with wings ready to fly.

The eyes of the golden phoenix are the top red jade.

It is vivid and vivid, and the noble elegance of the phoenix is fully displayed.

"Shhhh

Su Ruotang looked at her sideways.

Qingwan hurriedly explained the origin of this hairpin.

When Su Ruotang heard this, his eyes widened, and he took a few steps back.

Like that little sandalwood box, it is a flood beast.

The corners of the ceremonial Shangshu's mouth twitched.

This is the first time to see the golden eagle phoenix hosta, not only is she not happy, but she is also like a woman who avoids the flood and the beast.

After a while, Su Ruotang asked with a glimmer of hope, "My lord, is it possible that Your Majesty is wrong?" ”

This is a dowry for her!

It's just a hot potato for her!!

"Second Miss, this is what His Majesty said personally, and the minister is sure that he is not wrong."

Su Ruotang: "......"

Will she be beheaded if she repents of her marriage now?

"Second Miss, the dowry has been delivered, the gift list has been handed over to Prime Minister Su, and the minister will go back first to restore his life."

When the words fell, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu carefully put down the box in his hand and left quickly.

"Hey, isn't it true that your feet hurt when you walk fast? Why did you go so fast today? ”

Qingwan looked in surprise at the figure of the Rite Department Shangshu who quickly disappeared.

The corners of Su Ruotang's mouth twitched, he glanced at the little tiger in the palm of Bai Nen's palm, and pinched its ears angrily.

"Pull it lightly, bring a pen and paper."

After that, she looked at Shen Shi lazily: "I'll take this to your master later, tell him to take the medicine according to the above prescription for three days, and I will give him an injection." ”

Shen Shi listened to this, his eyes were full of joy: "Thank you, Miss Suer." ”

As soon as the words fell, he watched Su Ruotang take the pen and ink in his hand, took out the prescription in the mahogany box, and wrote on it-

A five-year-old Coptis chinensis?

One year of Coptis chinensis is already bitter enough, and these five years are sure that His Royal Highness will not die of suffering?

However, before he could come up with an answer, he gasped.

Su Ruotang stopped his pen, tilted his head and thought for a while, and decisively changed one five-year-old Coptis strain to two five-year Coptis chinensis.

"Miss Su, will two five-year-old Coptis chinensis be too bitter?" Shen Shi swallowed and spoke with difficulty.

Su Ruotang looked at him sideways: "That...... Ten years of quality? ”

Shen Shi immediately shut up, and left in a trance holding the mahogany box.

Lin Mu thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Miss, Madame, these days, I have been running to Linqinju and pawnshop every day. ”

Su Ruotang leaned lazily in the chair, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, playing with the twelve jade carvings in the same way.

The moon-white skirt spreads out, and the silky fabric pours down like water, like a white lotus blooming at the delicate ankles of the beauty.

She couldn't put it down, pinching the warm touch and cool jade carving.

Hearing Lin Mu's words, he sneered lightly, "Zhang and Wang Tao can't take out so many silver taels." ”

"I was really guessed by the young lady, and the Zhang family sold the dowry that he had saved for the eldest lady over the years, as well as his own jewelry, and only raised 300,000 taels."

Su Ruotang gently lifted her long eyelashes and glanced at Lin Mu meaningfully, "Steward Lin's news is really well-informed." ”

Lin Mu's face turned pale, and he quickly knelt down, "Miss, old slave ......"

Su Ruotang's onion white fingers pinched the little tiger's ears, and the white and tender fingertips fell on the best mutton fat white jade, which was actually more delicate and moist than the white jade, and lightly interrupted Lin Mu's words.

"Very well done."

Her voice fell, she stepped forward lightly, helped Lin Mu up, and stuffed a silver ingot in his hand, "Steward Lin, in the future, I have to count on you to worry a lot." ”

Lin Mu looked at Su Ruotang flattered: "Thank you, Miss." ”

After hesitating for a moment, he continued: "Miss, do you know the scale of today's wedding ceremony?" ”

Su Ruotang's slender white fingers tapped the little tiger, and watched it fall on the tray of satin on all fours, and its red lips overflowed a syllable carelessly.

"Huh?"

"The bride price of the eldest lady is ten pieces of fine jewelry, and twenty-eight pieces of silk and satin."

Su Ruotang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and then understood.

The queen has always looked down on Su Muyao, in the past, it was because she could give Mo Xiaoya two taels of silver that she turned a blind eye, as if she didn't see her and Mo Xiaoya entering and exiting in pairs.

This time, she and Mo Xiaoya did something like that in the Jiaofang Palace, and the queen couldn't wait to kill her with a cane, and she would definitely not allow Mo Xiaoya to add an additional dowry.

The marriage of the daughter of a small family is just such a specification.

Su Ruotang took a set of jewelry from the table and handed it to Lin Mu, "I remember that Lin Bo's daughter has also reached the age of marriage, and this set of jewelry will be given to her as a dowry." ”

Lin Mu held the box in both hands and knelt on the ground, "This jewelry is too valuable, the old slave doesn't dare to accept it." ”

Su Ruotang said lightly: "If you don't want it, just throw it away." ”

Lin Mu put the box in front of him and kowtowed respectfully, "Miss, great grace, the old slave will keep it in mind, and he will repay Miss well." ”

This sentence is his sincere heartfelt words.

Unlike before, when she had to do things for Su Ruotang because of poison control, this set of jewelry completely made Lin Mu loyal to her.

Su Ruotang hooked the corners of her lips, and her delicate voice showed a hint of chill, "Su Muyao has been in the courtyard recently?" ”

Lin Mu was also a little confused: "The eldest lady has been reading and copying books recently, and she has never stepped out of the door, and she has not even seen her wife go to see her." ”

Su Ruotang's eyelashes fluttered slightly: "What book are you reading?" ”

"According to the maid who waited, it seems to be a scripture, but every time the eldest lady copied it, it was burned."

"Scriptures? Go up in flames? ”

Lin Mu scratched the back of his head: "The old slave sent the eldest lady's dowry today, and I feel that the eldest lady seems to be different from before." ”

At this, he paused and pondered his words, "It's like getting a little more seductive, a little prettier." ”

"Maybe the eldest lady is about to marry the fifth prince, and the woman is the one who pleases herself."

Su Ruotang's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she said lightly: "Continue to stare at her." ”

There are some medicines that can slowly change a person's appearance.

She intuitively felt that Su Muyao would not accept her fate like this.

A woman of her arrogance will do whatever it takes to achieve her ends.

"Yes, miss." Lin Mu complied, held the box with both hands, and gently retreated.

When he went out, he asked suspiciously: "Miss, it is enough to give him any one of the things in the storeroom, why did you give him such good jewelry?" ”

Su Ruotang pinched the golden carving phoenix hosta and played with it casually, "Lin Mu has never married after his wife's death, and he has cultivated his daughter to be a woman who knows how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his daughter is his weakness." ”

"He is the grass on the wall, which side the wind blows down, but if you grasp his weakness, he will die for you."

"He has been a slave all his life and doesn't want his daughter to follow in his footsteps, but he also doesn't want his daughter to marry ordinary people."

"With this set of jewelry, his daughter will be able to marry a good family."

Since ancient times, the upper class of society has been impossible for ordinary people to enter no matter how hard they try.

Whether it is in the past life or in the present life and in ancient times, this is the case, and the division of circles and classes is very clear.

Only by studying can the children of the poor family change their fate.

But it is only to obtain an inconsequential official position, and it is impossible to really integrate into the upper circles at all.

This set of jewelry can't allow Lin Mu's daughter to completely enter the circle of the royal nobles, but it can also reach the people at the end.

For Lin Mu, it was enough.

Qingwan nodded thoughtfully, and saw Su Ruotang playing with the golden eagle phoenix hosta at will, and said in horror: "Miss, be careful!" ”

Su Ruotang put the hairpin into the box, lay on the table and said weakly: "Your Majesty will really make trouble for me." ”

The queen tried to win her over before, but she never tore her face.

After today, she has to rank the queen first in her enemy manual.

There is a queen in front and Su Muyao in the back.

I get tired just thinking about it.

Gently put away the hairpin, and by the way, put the other boxes farther away, for fear that his own lady would lie down and accidentally rub it off.

Any of these things is of immeasurable value and can be used as family heirlooms.

Su Ruotang watched her movements, hooked the box containing Huang Fei's earrings with her white fingertips, and pushed it in front of Qingwan, "Try it." ”

Taken lightly, he stepped back and shook his hand, "Miss, the slave can't ask for it." ”

Su Ruotang directly covered the box and stuffed it into her hand, "If you don't like it, pick another one yourself." ”

Gently holding hands and hurriedly catching the box, heat welled up in his eyes, and his eyes were red and looked at her, "The slave likes it very much, thank you, Miss." ”

Su Ruotang personally picked up the tray containing the zodiac, and his red lips hooked a pleasant arc, "The golden carving phoenix hosta is sent to Tanfu, please grandmother keep it for me, and the rest will be received in the house." ”

The dog man is a dog, but this set of jade carvings has indeed been sent to her heart.

"Yes, miss." Holding the sandalwood box tightly, she suddenly asked, "Miss, the prescription of the third prince, do you really need Coptis chinensis?" ”

The young lady had written the prescription two days ago, but she hadn't given it to the third prince yet.

Su Ruotang walked out with the jade carving and said leisurely: "Coptis is a good thing. ”

Qingwan instantly understood, and silently mourned for the three princes in his heart.

His Majesty gave the golden carving phoenix hosta to the young lady as a dowry, which brought countless troubles to the young lady.

The young lady could not take revenge on His Majesty, so she took revenge on his son.

This is a typical father-son debt.

......

The Three Princes' Mansion.

Mo Yingyan looked at the prescription that Shen Shi took, and his eyes paused on the six words "two strains of Coptis chinensis in a hundred years" at the end.

He shrank his head and tried to reduce his presence.

One of the most hated medicinal herbs of His Royal Highness is Coptis chinensis.

After a while, Mo Yingyan chuckled lightly, and her fingertips slowly rubbed the six words.

The clear voice, like a cold jade gently colliding with Xuan Bing, was cold and indifferent.

"What did she say?"

Shen Shi quietly took two steps back, stepped on the safety line, and muttered: "Miss Su said that you can also exchange for a thousand-year-old quality." ”

After a few breaths of silence, Mo Yingyan's thin lips opened slightly, and the clear and magnetic laughter was particularly clear in the silent pavilion.

Shen Shi's heart sank, and he took a few steps back again, not daring to answer.

Mo Yingyan folded the paper slowly and methodically, and her cold voice was cold and casual under the cool breeze.

"Let's change it, then."

"Huh?" Shen Shi was stunned, suspecting that something was wrong with his ears.

I thought about it silently for a while, and went to the doctor to take a look.

After a while, Shen Shi drove the carriage in a trance, suspecting that something was wrong with his eyes.
