Jiang Yuhuan was calm, "Miss Ning San also knows that I have been crazy for many years, and I don't know much about human feelings. Since Miss Ning San said so, she thinks she has a lot of experience in gift-giving. Presumably, the congratulatory gift sent by the Ningguo Mansion today was also carefully selected by Miss Ning San? ”

Ning Zhi choked, where is it her turn to decide on such a thing as gift-giving, and her mother is ready.

Besides, what are the loyal and righteous uncles, how can they be carefully selected.

Ning Zhi was asked, but this did not prevent her from making Jiang Yuhuan look ugly.

Jiang Yuhuan suddenly became the princess of the county, Concubine Sun was very unhappy, and her sister didn't get a good face when she went to ask for peace.

She has to be angry for her sister!

"Although I didn't choose it, I also know that it's rude to take the square inkstone casually and perfunctory. You don't know how to ask people, not just decide randomly. ”

Everyone agreed with Ning Zhi's words, and they all exchanged their heads and ears, saying that Jiang Yuhuan didn't understand etiquette.

"It's a shame, but it's good that the king didn't come."

"As expected, after all, there is no mother's teaching."

"Is this inkstone worth fifty taels?"

"I guess it's not worth it, it's so ugly, I have to dislike my eldest brother's scholars."

"This inkstone is still lacking, obviously trying to embarrass Zhongyibo. and loyalty does not care. ”

Zhongyi Bo saw that everyone said the same, so he stepped forward, "It's okay, it's my honor to be here for the princess, and it's not important what the ceremony is." ”

Zhongyibo's words are tantamount to acquiescing in Jiang Yuhuan's bad gifts, and there are a number of rudenesses.

Mrs. Ning Guogong also hurriedly added a fire, "Ah Zhi, what does the princess of the county want to send, which round will you teach!" ”

She seemed to be reprimanding Ning Zhi, but in fact, she said in disguise that Jiang Yuhuan's status was high, even if she gave it perfunctory, she shouldn't say it.

"Mother!" Ning Zhi stomped her foot, revealing an aggrieved expression.

Jiang Yuhuan watched them sing coldly.

She saw that everyone showed disdain, and she saw Sun Jiaojiao and Qi Yi's eyes showing concern.

She smiled dumbly, looking sympathetically at those who were watching her jokes.

When she sang just now, she paid attention to the gifts given by everyone, and also asked Sanqi.

After knowing that everyone was level, she was also heartbroken that she gave the inkstone out to be cheap and loyal to the uncle.

Now that they all want to step on her, she doesn't have to be a virgin and don't care about others.

"Indeed, I should ask you for advice on what etiquette is appropriate. I think everyone is better than me to send, I'll see what good things are sent. She walked over and snatched the gift list from the butler's hand, "Ningguo Mansion gives a ginseng." Ah, ginseng, it has to be a hundred years, otherwise it would be boring to buy it at any pharmacy. I don't know how many hundred years it is? ”

Jiang Yu asked with a smile, and Uncle Zhongyi and his wife were also interested in wanting to know the answer.

Ning Zhi was still proud, and didn't see the reluctant smile of Mrs. Ning Guogong, "What did the princess of the county say, don't delay the uncle's birthday banquet." ”

"It's not that I'm worried about being ridiculed next time I give a gift, ask me clearly so that I know how to give a gift in the future!"

Mrs. Ning Guogong was silent, Jiang Yuhuan curled the corners of her mouth, did she think she could escape without saying anything? Naive!

"Oops, I forgot, I happened to meet someone selling ginseng yesterday, and I listened to it. Uncle, can you have someone send the ginseng again, and I will appraise it? ”

"This ......" Zhongyi Bo hesitated a little, although he wanted to know, but if he took out the ginseng now, wouldn't he offend the Ningguo Mansion?

Fortunately, Jiang Yuhuan didn't embarrass him, and the words changed, "Uncle, forget it if it's inconvenient, I just took a look at it casually, maybe it's only been more than ten years." ”

Ning Zhi jumped to her feet in anger when she heard this, "What nonsense are you talking about!" How could we send ginseng for more than ten years! ”

Mrs. Ning Guogong's face turned green, and Ning Zhi didn't notice it.

"And how many years do you say?"

"There are a hundred ...... to say less"

"Zhi!" Mrs. Ning Guogong hurriedly interrupted Ning Zhi and said softly to Jiang Yuhuan: "Princess of the county, it is the courtiers who have no way to teach, and the little girl is speechless for a while, and I hope that the princess of the county will not blame." ”

Mrs. Ning Guogong was showing weakness, her ginseng could not stand scrutiny, and everyone present could see it.

Ning Zhi shouted that Jiang Yuhuan's birthday gift was inappropriate, and he Ning Guogong's mansion was not far behind.

It's just that everyone didn't look at Ning Zhi's mother and daughter with disdain, because everyone came to this birthday banquet to go through the motions.

They all know what the situation is in the Zhongyi Uncle's Mansion, and they are unwilling to spend money on heavy gifts.

Jiang Yuhuan swept the gift list and understood the doorway.

But she didn't plan to let it go, and she didn't hesitate when they said she didn't have a mother's teaching.

"Miss Ning San is right, I won't blame her, and thank her." Her gaze returned to the list, and everyone was breathless, praying not to draw themselves.

Jiang Yuhuan remembered that the people who mocked her just now, one counted as one, and the other read out the gifts they gave without landing.

"Yo, the 100-year-old picture sent by the servant of the ministry. Did you write it yourself? How long has it been written? With blessings, you can't write religiously for half a month? This victory is in the heart, and it is indeed incomparable to me. I learned it and will definitely do it next time. ”

"Hey, what is the material of this jade Ruyi sent by the lord of Shunning County? To the uncle, it must be Hetian jade to show sincerity? ”

"Oh, it turns out that the Yin ...... of Jingzhao Mansion"

"This Ministry of Works...... Shangshu"

"Huh? Left Prime Minister's Mansion ......"

Jiang Yuhuan remembered Sun Jiaojiao's nervous expression for her, although she had sisters who had told her, she still chose to let them go.

Every family she read of had their birthday gifts held up to heaven, but they were not at all happy.

They all knew in their hearts what grade they were giving, and they didn't dare to refute it, for fear that they would not be able to withstand scrutiny like the Ningguo Mansion, and finally admit that their congratulatory gifts were not very good in disguise.

Jiang Yuhuan wanted to end it like this, but Qi Xiaoyu couldn't understand everyone's faces, thinking that Jiang Yuhuan was bullying.

She stood up and "spoke up": "What are you doing, using power to oppress people? Take the stall goods and send them away, don't let people say it? Learn from others, you can't even give gifts! Which one is not as strong as your broken inkstone? ”

Because of Qi Xiaoyu's words, everyone straightened their backs again.

Yes, no matter how bad they deliver, it's better than a broken inkstone.

"Xiaoyu!"

"Xiaoyu! Apologize to the princess! ”

Seeing that Zhongyi Bo opened his mouth to reprimand, Qi Yi stopped the words that had not yet been spoken in time.

Zhongyibo's face is not very good, Qi Xiaoyu can't understand it, he can understand it. These people get a big name, but it's not worth much.

Everyone smiled on his face to congratulate him on his birthday, and in private they didn't know how to look down on him!

Didn't he bother to hold this banquet in the hope of receiving a wave of expensive gifts?

Now that the money for the banquet has been put in, I have got a bunch of worthless things, and the gains outweigh the losses!

"Daddy! I'm fighting for you, why are you still murdering me! ”

Zhongyibo always kept a calm face, Qi Xiaoyu also noticed that something was wrong, her arrogance disappeared all at once, and she reluctantly said "I'm sorry".

Jiang Yuhuan listened to the vague apology, didn't care, but followed Qi Xiaoyu's words, and responded very modestly: "I'm not a stall. It's just that everyone is dissatisfied with me sending the inkstone, so I'll change it. ”

"Another one? You also brought two congratulatory gifts, but couldn't you? Qi Xiaoyu asked.

"yes."

She went to the warehouse this morning to pick out a gift, and she originally picked the inkstone, but Fu Ying Fei asked her to bring another spare.

When she came to Zhongyibo's mansion, she still firmly believed in her original idea and sent it to the inkstone.

Unexpectedly, the inkstone made so many people dissatisfied.

She took out a bead, took the inkstone back, and placed the beads on the tray.

"Night Pearl, it's a little small, but the value is not bad, uncle, don't dislike it."

Zhongyibo naturally will not dislike it, this night pearl can be said to be the most expensive thing in the audience.

He smiled suddenly, "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it." ”

"Uncle are you sure you don't want this inkstone?"

"I'm not good at dancing with a pen and making ink, this inkstone is a tyrannical thing to me."

Jiang Yuhuan didn't debunk Zhongyibo's thoughts, and only nodded, "Then I'll send this night pearl, and ask the housekeeper to correct it." ”

"Yes."

The housekeeper immediately picked up the pen and rewrote the gift list of the Duanyang County Palace.

After Jiang Yuhuan saw that it was written, he took out a silk handkerchief and carefully wrapped the inkstone, and then handed it to Sanqi.

After Ning Zhi was told by Mrs. Shizi, she also understood her own situation.

But she was always unhappy that Jiang Yuhuan had lost face, and now she seized the opportunity to ridicule her again.

"The princess of the county doesn't want to go down to the night pearl, so she casually buys an inkstone on the side of the road and perfunctory, right? If I hadn't brought it up, the pearl would have fallen into the pocket of the princess. ”

Jiang Yuhuan was not angry at all, and said to Ning Zhi with kind words, "Not really." Both of these were turned over from the treasury of the county king's mansion, but I felt that the inkstone was used more, so I sent the inkstone. I didn't expect an inkstone to cause such a big sensation. ”

Of course, Ning Zhi didn't believe Jiang Yuhuan's words, and thought that Jiang Yuhuan had never seen the world and wanted to swallow it privately.

"Don't laugh, how can the treasury of the county king's mansion put a worthless inkstone."

Jiang Yuan pretended to be surprised, "Who said that this inkstone is not valuable?" ”

"Don't open your eyes and talk nonsense, where is this inkstone valuable?"

"Sanqi, let's talk to everyone." Jiang Yuhuan sat back in his position and arranged his sleeves casually.

Sanqi stepped forward with the inkstone and lifted the silk handkerchief open a corner, "The reason why this inkstone looks ugly is because it has been fallen." ”

"Do you dare to take out something that you have fallen and give it away?"

"I'm going to see how she makes black white."

Sanqi is not Jiang Yuhuan, she won't pay attention to them, she just talks about herself.

At that time, there was a scholar who had no money to go to a private school, so he could only practice writing by himself using tree branches as pens and mud as ink.

Fortunately, a reclusive Confucian bumped into him, and the Confucian was deeply touched, and offered to accept him as an apprentice, and passed on the inkstone he had used for many years to him to encourage him to study.

The scholar was very competitive, passed all the way, and came to the capital to participate in the spring examination.

But because of jealousy, he deliberately damaged his inkstone and robbed him of his money.

It was his only inkstone, and he was immediately disheartened.

But he thought that the master was old and that he had not yet achieved fame, so he cheered up.

During the exam, he tilted the inkstone with one hand to prevent the ink from flowing out, and wrote with the other, and was finally appointed as the champion by the saint.

Later, even if he had the money to buy an inkstone, he never gave up using this inkstone. Because it is often tilted, one side of the inkstone is smoothed out and can stand just right.

As soon as Sanqi's words fell, everyone looked at each other and couldn't speak.
