Chapter 210: New Year's gift for daughter-in-law
Chu Lian sat up in his arms, and He Saburo wrapped a long arm around her to prevent her from accidentally slipping off the edge of the bed. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast.
The design of the brocade box is very 'fine', and there is a hidden lock on the side, and the box will pop open with a slight flick.
I only heard a "snap" sound, the brocade box opened, and there was a mutton fat 'jade' pendant lying on the indigo 'color' velvet, which was snow-white without a trace of flaws, and the 'jade' pendant was not big, only the size of a thumb, carved into a lifelike shape of the horse.
The mane of the horse can be seen clearly, which shows that this "jade" is very valuable, and the "jade" is decorated with a red rope with gold thread in it, which is obviously an ornament worn around the neck.
Chu Lian's zodiac sign is a horse, which is the same as Chu Lian in the original book.
Her clear eyes were shining, and she obviously liked He Changdi's first gift very much.
She picked up this piece of 'fine' 'jade' and shook it in front of He Saburo's eyes, and said with a sweet smile: "When did you buy it?"
He Saburo's handsome face was stiff, he had been observing the look on her face, when he found that the corners of her mouth were really upturned, he breathed a long sigh of relief, God knows, how nervous he was when he just gave out the New Year's gift, and his heart was even more apprehensive, he thought about thousands of possibilities, what if she didn't like it, what if she disliked this piece of 'jade' and wore it cheaply, in short, all the worries finally settled when he saw her happy face.
However, He Changdi has always been awkward, and when he heard Chu Lian's question, he only replied in a low voice: "I bought it when I went to Sucheng." β
Random fart, this guy doesn't know how many days he has been lying on the 'bed' for this gift, and he didn't let Lai Yue go to Sucheng to choose from thousands of people until he was twenty-seven, and he almost ran to death.
This small piece of mutton fat 'jade' has almost 'spent' all his savings, in fact, he wants to buy better, but his current ability has ended here.
Chu Lian understood that he was not in his heart, she grinned and approached He Sanlang, "My husband is really lucky, just buy a piece of 'jade' is the shape of a horse, or a rare piece of mutton fat 'jade', if there is a next time, why don't you help me buy a few more pieces and let me go back to Beijing to give it away." β
He Saburo's forehead was 'pumped', and if he bought a few more yuan, it would be better to sell him now.
Chu Lian stretched out his hand and stretched out the 'jade' pendant in front of him.
The white glutinous little hand reflected the snow-white and warm mutton fat 'jade' in the middle, and he was about to shake the 'flower' He Changdi's deep eyes, he raised his eyebrows puzzled, and asked her what she was doing with his eyes.
Chu Lian held his forehead, puffed out his cheeks, and said speechlessly: "Help me put it on, don't you buy it for me because you want me to wear it all the time?"
He Saburo had a handsome face coldly, took the 'jade' pendant, picked up Chu Lian's black hair behind him, 'exposed' a white and greasy neck, and then gently put the horse-shaped mutton fat 'jade' on her neck.
The porcelain white skin concealed the red line of gold threads, and along the red thread, the gaze swept over the gentle curvature of the jaw and reached the place where it was slightly raised in front of it.
The 'jade' pendant fell on it, like the most beautiful embellishment, and like the deepest imprint he had given her.
Chu Lian broke away from He Saburo's arm holding him, turned around, and asked him with a sweet smile, "Is it good-looking?"
He Sanlang's face was warm, and he reached out and stroked the 'jade' pendant prefixed on Chu Lian's chest, and bowed his head happily.
"Good looking. His voice was low and hoarse.
Chu Lian was stunned, where did he think that he could be emotional at this time, so he quickly stuffed the 'jade' into his clothes, quickly got off the 'bed', and walked to the table, "You rest first, I haven't opened this red envelope yet, I'll sleep after I finish opening." β
He Changdi was slightly embarrassed, but he didn't stop Chu Lian this time.
Anyway, he is already sleeping on the bed of his daughter-in-law, and when the goal is achieved, he doesn't care so much about other things.
After the heartwarming and heart-pounding scene just now, Chu Lian actually didn't have the heart to open the red envelope at all, but just to avoid embarrassment, he sat back at the table again.
Absentmindedly opened the purse sent by Sima Hui.
The red 'colored' purse embroidered with twig patterns had already been opened by Chu Lian, Chu Lian poured it slightly, and the contents of the purse slipped out.
The warm palms were cold for a while, Chu Lian glanced down and glanced at them, and then she was stunned, and the next second she clenched her palms, and secretly glanced at He Changdi who was leaning on the head of the 'bed' behind her, and smiled stiffly.
He Saburo's eyebrows twisted, and he said suspiciously: "What's the matter? What is in the purse?"
Chu Lian hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's just a few silver tickets, I'll go out and ask Lan Duan to come in." β
As he spoke, he walked out of the bedroom quickly.
He Changdi stared at the back of his daughter-in-law, and his eyes suddenly deepened.
Make a hot water, where to go out to call people, the ear room is next to it, generally the master of the house is tied to the bell line connected to the ear room, when the maid comes in to serve, as long as you pull a line.
Chu Lian went outside and stroked his chest, let out a long breath, and quickly hid the thing in his palm, if this thing really let He Sanlang's snake 'spirit' see it, there would definitely be a pimple in his heart.
Luckily, she was sitting with her back to him.
Chu Lian sighed, called for Lan, and then returned to the bedroom.
When Chu Lian came back, He Sanlang didn't say anything, as if he hadn't found out about what had just happened, and after Chu Lian washed, he took her to sleep.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year the next day, even in the sparsely populated Liangzhou City, a few sparse firecrackers could be heard early in the morning.
Although he was in the north, he could not be negligent in his etiquette, and Chu Lian got up early in the morning to arrange a New Year's greeting for General Qian and others.
When Chu Lian got up, He Changdi was still sleeping, she gently tucked the quilt corners for him, did not wake him up, and quietly dressed and got out of bed.
As soon as Chu Lian came out of the bedroom, He Sanlang opened his eyes, he first stared at the top of the tent for a while, and after a while, he lifted the quilt, 'pumped' the cloak on the screen and put it on his body and went to the outer room.
He came out with a limp and really startled Wen Qing, who was guarding outside.
"Third Young Master, you are ......"
He Changdi glanced at her coldly, and said coldly: "Go and guard the 'door', don't let others in." β
Wen Qing glared at him in surprise, but unfortunately, under the intimidation of He Changdi's cold eyes, he was quickly defeated, and went to guard the 'door' with full apprehension.
It wasn't until Wen Qing closed the 'door' and retreated that He Changdi rummaged through the boxes and cabinets everywhere.
He Changdi, who had been in the barracks for a while, followed the clues and looked for things quickly.
After a while, he 'touched' a piece of cold texture from under the pillow of the warm kang head, took it out and looked at it, and in an instant, it made him freeze.
This is also a horse-shaped 'jade', which is also mutton fat 'jade', but both the workmanship and the texture of the 'jade' are better than what he sent.
He grew up in a noble family since he was a child, and he can tell the good and bad of things at a glance, this 'jade' looks like it is some years old, I am afraid that it is an old thing from the previous dynasty, maybe it is still from the palace, and it is really valuable.
Compared with this piece of horse 'jade', his piece was eclipsed.
But Chu Lian secretly hid this 'jade'.
He Sanlang's heart was warm, and he understood Chu Lian's intention to do this.
He Changdi was stunned for a moment, then carefully put the 'jade' back in its place, and gave an order to ask Wenqing to come in.
He leaned on the head of the 'bed', his complexion was cold, his temperament was cold, and he had cultivated a compelling deterrent in the army, so that Wen Qing couldn't help but lower his head.
She and Wen Lan grew up under the upbringing of Mama Zhong, and they didn't see the third young master when they were young, but now when they see this master in the north again, they always feel that the pressure on their bodies is getting bigger and bigger, and now in front of him, they don't even dare to raise their heads.
Wen Qing swallowed nervously, and asked worriedly: "What is the matter with the third young master calling slaves?"
He Saburo's voice was like smacking ice, "Who sent the purse you 'milk' and 'milk' received yesterday?"
Wen Qing didn't expect him to ask this, and he was worried that there would be some misunderstanding between the third young master and the three 'milk' and 'milk', so he hurriedly replied: "The purse with entwined branches that the third 'milk' and 'milk' received yesterday was given by General Sima, and the slave maid saw it with his own eyes. "You must be misunderstood: three 'milk' and 'milk' received other irrelevant people's things.
He Changdi's eyes narrowed slightly, Sima Hui, it's this Sima Hui again!
Chu Lian is his daughter-in-law, what kind of fun is he here, this hateful man's wife!
Asked Qingyun to come out of the bedroom in a fog, and couldn't understand why the third young master only asked about the purse and let her out.
He Saburo, who was leaning on the edge of the 'bed' alone, was thinking deeply.
Originally, he didn't care about those things outside his body, as long as the silver was enough, and he didn't have a place to 'spend' the silver in the army, but now he can't make some money.
At the very least, the things he gave to his daughter-in-law and his daughter-in-law could not be compared to others.
The New Year's gift was prepared in the morning, and Mo Chenggui took his generals to send everything to the barracks for distribution.
Chu Lian had just finished his work, and Steward Qin entered the hall with a smile.
During this period of time, he has been busy with the things arranged by Chu Lian, but he has lost a lot of weight compared to when he was in Shengjing City, and his face is not so round, and it has become angular.
As the saying goes, every fat person is a potential stock, and the slimmed down Qin Steward is also a good man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
This smiling tiger who smiled before saying a word really has a two-point big steward's shelf.
Chu Lian sat on the kang in the hall and drank red bean and lotus seed porridge, and when he saw the appearance of the 'spring' wind on his face when he came in, he also laughed, "Good thing?"
In front of Chu Lian, Steward Qin did not forget the etiquette, first respectfully saluted Chu Lian, and then said the new 'spring' auspicious language, and then reported the matter.
"The hard work paid off, and the little one finally completed the things that the three 'milks' and 'milk's commanded. β
Chu Lian's eyes lit up, and the speed of Steward Qin really surprised her with a little snack.
She put down the small bowl of sweet white porcelain in her hand, "When will the market open?"
"The day after tomorrow at the latest, the barbarians are only the 'Spring' Festival, this time happens to be the most scarce time for materials, the location is small, a total of eighteen places, things will be transported over in the past two days, as long as the people are together, the market can be opened immediately. β
Chu Lian praised without hesitation, "You have done a good job in this matter, remember what I said to you, when the time comes, the things we exchange for will be provided to the northern border army first, and if they don't need it, then follow my plan." In addition, the 'draw' of the obtained will be given to the northern border army forty percent, and we will take six to make it. β
