Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 178: ：Return gift
Remember in one second【】
Qingxiu sighed secretly after hearing this.
The old lady clearly didn’t mean this, but the eldest lady is a sweetheart.
Mother Liu also smiled deeply: "That's not true. The old slave has been with the old lady for most of his life, and he often makes mistakes in this return gift. The eldest lady must not learn from it carefully."
Although the words sounded good, Yang Shuwan still felt unhappy in her heart. She said indifferently: "Then just watch from the sidelines and ask me if you don't understand."
Yu Youyao nodded, sitting aside and listening to Yang Shuwan and Grandma Liu discussing together.
After listening for a while, Yu Youyao pointed to the gift list: "My mother just made a pair of entangled peony flower plates from the previous dynasty, but the flowers are very rich and auspicious. What's the point of this pair of jade pots and spring vases?" ”
What's the point?
The Xie Mansion gave a pair of Ru Kiln bowls, and the Yu Mansion had a set of Ru Kiln tea sets, which were comparable. Logically speaking, this set of tea sets returned would be just right, but the Ru Kiln is a precious thing. It was a skill that had been passed down. How could she be willing to give such a good thing to Xie Mansion for free?
So I used a pair of expensive but not so rare jade pots and spring vases instead.
Yu Youyao asked, and Yang Shuwan was stunned for a moment: "This pair of jade pots and spring vases are very expensive, and there is a jade character inside, which also means wishful thinking."
The reason was a bit far-fetched, and Yu Youyao nodded.
Nanny Liu on the side heard the elegant meaning of Xian Zhi and understood what the eldest lady meant: "With a pair of blue and white flowers, it's not easy to make the same one, so just replace the pair of spring bottles with something else? ”
Yang Shuwan was a little unhappy, while Grandma Liu smiled and remained silent.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Yu Youyao smiled and said: "When I was taking stock of you, I saw a pair of purple-banded jade Ruyi, which is like a jade pot and spring vase. It is also very Ruyi, and it is decent to take it as a return gift. ”
The purple-banded jade Ruyi is pure and rich, but it is very rare. It is much more valuable than the jade pot spring bottle, but it is not as good as the Ru kiln. It is the lesser of the two, Yang Shuwan reluctantly nodded.
Next, Yu Youyao really used the essence of the word "learning" to the fullest, pointing at the gift list and asking some questions from time to time.
Mama Liu’s eyes flickered.
The questions raised by the eldest lady were all omissions made by Yang Shuwan intentionally or unintentionally, but the eldest lady grasped the situation carefully and did not make it difficult for Yang Shuwan.
Know how to do things and be a good person.
Mama Xu really taught her a lesson.
Half an hour later, the gift list was drawn up, and Yang Shuwan was bleeding. She could not feel happy anymore, so she said coldly: "As long as there is no problem, just ask someone to prepare it."
Nanny Xu nodded, and Yu Youyao also returned to Tiaoyuyuan.
Yang Shuwan tried her best to take advantage of the loopholes in making the gift list, and tried to save the appearance of dignity, but she did not care about the human feelings inside. No wonder her grandmother was worried. She was angry even as she watched from the sidelines.
But then I thought about it, how could she, a step-brother, have any favors with the Xie family?
There is nothing wrong with doing so.
When she was making the gift list just now, she asked some general questions in a cryptic manner. Aunt Liu understood her thoughts and started to flatter her, but Yang Shuwan was not happy and could not refuse.
Even so, the return gift prepared by the Yu Mansion is still a bit too formal compared to the Xie Mansion. It is not surprising and will not make people find mistakes. It is not bad.
After working like this for a long time, it’s time to apply.
Yu Zongshen got out of the Yamen first, changed into his official uniform and came to the main room.
After Xie Jingliu got the news, he had to come over to pay homage to his elders.
Seeing him, the thin smile on Yu Zongshen's lips became thicker: "I originally wanted to take a day off, but the yamen really couldn't get away, so I neglected Xianyue."
Xie Jingliu’s nickname is Xie Yue, and only close elders, relatives and friends would call him by his cousin name.
When he went to Quanzhou, he happened to have contacts with the Xie Mansion, and he got to know Xie Jingliu. At that time, Xie Jingliu was a little older, and when he heard that he was the second-ranked scholar from the imperial court, he pestered him for advice.
Xie Jingliu is a very big kid, a rare talent in the world. He was delighted to see it, and inevitably got closer to him. He had many close contacts with the Xie family, but the best relationship was with the half-year-old. Xie Jingliu.
It was also for Xie Jingliu's sake that the Xie Mansion helped him a lot.
Xie Jingliu said calmly: "Uncle Shi, your words are serious. Visiting today is already a nuisance."
Even a fool can see the cold attitude. Yu Zongshen took the tea cup and lowered his eyes. The fragrance of the tea in the cup filled his eyes: "Is the old man still in good health? Are the old man and the old lady okay? ”
Xie Jingliu smiled sarcastically and said nothing.
Yu Zongshen was silent for a while: "Back then..."
Xie Jingliu interrupted him: "After King You's rebellion was dealt with, the government was not very stable. When I went to Beijing this time, my great-grandfather felt that there was going to be chaos in Beijing, so he asked me to secretly transfer part of the Xie Mansion's business. It's urgent to go back to Quanzhou." He laughed silently, and after a while, he said: "The old man asked me to tell you so that you can take care of yourself."
After finishing speaking, Xie Jingliu stood up and saluted Yu Zongshen: "It is a rare trip to Beijing, so I will go to Tianyuyuan to talk to my cousin first."
Before Yu Zongshen could speak, he was already out the door.
After he left, Yu Zongshen looked calm, with a hint of his usual smile on his lips. He waved his sleeves and the teacups and dishes on the table were scattered on the floor. The sound of "clang" echoed in the silent room.
Even anger does not change its color.
"Thank you, Rou, Jia!" An inaudible voice escaped from his lips that were smiling, and his smile turned into a bitter smile.
This episode, House
^0^Remember in one second【】
No one here knows.
It was not until Youshi (18 o'clock) that the eldest master, Yu Zongzheng, returned to the mansion with his official power. It was obvious that he did not listen to the words sent by Mrs. Yu.
Yu Zongzheng first went to Anshou Hall to pay his respects to the old lady: "I am busy with things today, but I can't get away from it, so I couldn't go back home early."
Mrs. Yu sneered in her heart~IndoMTL.com~The second child, a cabinet minister, could return to the government at the time of Shen Shi. How could he, a censor, be busier than the "Pavilion Elder"?
But he didn't take Xie's house seriously, and he was timid because of Xie Roujia's death. Even the people who met Xie's house made things difficult for him.
Old Madam Yu didn’t have much to say, so she just said, “I’ll do it when I get back.”
Yu Zongzheng breathed a sigh of relief. Although the yamen was busy, he was not unable to get away. Some official duties could be taken home to deal with, which was also done.
It's just that he never liked interacting with people from the Xie Mansion. He just felt that when the Xie Mansion came back, there would be a yellow and white smell in the whole mansion.
My mother didn’t know what she was thinking. She was a merchant in Xie’s house. Every time he came back, he would have to work hard to raise the public and even ask him to go back to the house early.
Xie Jingliu is a junior, how can he be worthy of letting go of his court affairs?
Mrs. Yu took one look and guessed what he was thinking, and sneered in her heart: "Your wife arranged the banquet, just for your wife's sake, you should know the importance."
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
