Chapter 2459 Gui Zi Juan Mandarin ducks come south, subtle thoughts
The arrival of Yuanyang and Jade Chuaner almost coincided with the arrival of Bi Ziyan.
It was the three good wives of Shen Xuelin who understood him well, and finally sent the most considerate mandarin duck and the most lively jade bracelet to take care of him in his daily life.
But before he had time to talk about his farewell with Yuanyang, Guo Zhengyu from the south had already sent someone to find Feng Ziying to discuss with Bi Ziyan the issuance of shares by Wusongkou Shipyard and the establishment of the Nanjing (Yangzhou) Stock Exchange.
I could only reluctantly hold Yuanyang in my arms and kiss her, which made Yuanyang's beauty look like fire, and the love in her almond-shaped eyes almost overflowed.
Next to her, Yu Chuan'er was so embarrassed that she couldn't help but stamp her feet. Feng Ziying let go of Yu Chuan'er and pinched Yu Chuan'er's buttocks hard. She sighed in Yu Chuan'er's tender but expectant eyes. .
"If you want to blame, blame Baoxiang. He didn't come to report earlier, and he didn't come to report later. You two aroused my anger, but you said that Guo Shilang and Bi Shilang were waiting for me. What can I do? manage?"
Yuanyang is also a person who understands the importance. He wiped the messy hair on his forehead, his brows were full of tenderness and sweetness.
"It's strange that the official ship in front was always in front of the ship where the slaves were riding. What a coincidence that they were all traveling the same way from Tongzhou to Nanjing. It turned out that they came here specifically to discuss important matters with me. I hurry up Go and get busy, slave girl and Yu Chuan'er are going to meet some new concubines,..."
Feng Ziying’s face also heated up.
Yuanyang is the housekeeper of the mansion, so what he says is inevitably a bit teasing and teasing. I don’t know if the mansion knows about it, or did Yuanyang hear what Ruixiang, Baoxiang or Third Sister You said after he arrived at the mansion?
After coughing dryly, Feng Ziying pretended to be indifferent, but her confidence was not strong: "What big thing is more important than the intimacy between Master and Yuanyang? So what if we put it aside? By the way, Yuanyang, be careful what you say, what a new aunt ,…”
"Do you still need to be secretive in front of your slaves?" Yuanyang covered her mouth and giggled. The protruding bud on her chest was wrapped up in a beige green silk tapestry embroidered jacket with gold, which made her round and straight. Her waist was slightly tightened. The jade neck is slender, and the jade hairpin with pink gemstones and flowers on the bun highlights the Yuanyang's wisdom, shrewdness and beauty.
It was already very cold in November in the capital city. As we sailed south, the temperature gradually increased, but we were still quite familiar with Nanjing Yuanyang. The weather was still wet and cold. The fox fur cloak was taken off.
This fox fur cloak was also repaired by Shen Yi for Yuanyang. The style is gorgeous and noble. It is also made of Liaodong red fox fur. It is obvious at a glance that it is worth a lot of money. How can Yuanyang dare to wear it?
But Shen Yixiu insisted on giving it to her, and said that it was freezing cold outside, so she had to wear it when she needed to wear it. He told her to wear it when she went to Nanjing, and not to lose the dignity of the Feng family. .
After saying this, I couldn't push the mandarin duck away, so I had to continue.
Then Baochai specially gave her a sterling silver hollow gilt hand stove. The cloud and thunder patterns were vivid and the craftsmanship was quite exquisite. Charcoal and spices were poured into it, which not only kept heat, but also incense. It was a rare piece of art. Taste.
Yuanyang has also seen the world, and he can tell at a glance that this thing is not affordable for ordinary people. Except for a few people in the capital city who specialize in custom-making jewelry for the palace or the top wealthy families in the city, no one can make this kind of thing. .
How can I afford such a thing as a maid? In addition to the three grandmothers and two nuns, several other aunts would have to weigh it carefully if they wanted to use this thing.
Girl Kebao gave it to me so blatantly, and she still had to take it to Nanjing by herself.
Yuanyang also tasted it a little bit, so he didn't dare to refuse anymore, so he could only accept it with great gratitude.
Before leaving, Daiyu also called her to give her this jade flower-wrapped hairpin inlaid with rubies, which also made Yuanyang frightened.
Yuanyang knows the price of this hairpin very well.
It turns out that when she was still in the Rongguo Mansion, she managed the private property for her ancestors, so she was naturally knowledgeable. She had seen a lot of ordinary hairpins, necklaces, bead strings, rings, bracelets, and anklets. She had also seen a lot of expensive and exquisite objects, and she had a natural eye for them. That’s it.
She knew this hairpin very well. It was specially customized for Miss Lin according to her identity when Ding Zhenji came to solicit business.
Ding Zhenji is not an ordinary jewelry business.
Their store on Xi'anmen Street in Anfu Fang is not large, but it is the first store outside Xi'an Gate on the second floor. The problem is that they never accept outsiders, only those introduced by regular customers. That is to say As a visitor from out of town, if you go to Dingzhenji to see other people’s jewelry, they won’t show it to you unless you have a regular customer to take you there, or come to the door with a special letter of introduction.
Half of the jewelry for the queen mother and concubines in the palace was customized by them. They also customized jewelry mainly for the top-notch wealthy officials and women in the capital city.
Yuanyang knew that this hairpin was customized for Lin Daiyu by Ding Zhenji. The price of a ruby from the Lion Kingdom alone on the hairpin was more than 300 taels of silver. This whole hairpin was estimated to be worth less than 800 taels. Come down.
Even if I am the chief maid of the Feng Mansion, even if I have already been married to my master, and even if there is a high probability that I will have a concubine in the future, I still can't afford it.
But after all, I am not a concubine yet.
And now as my status is getting higher and higher, the rules in this mansion are becoming more and more strict. It seems that there are a few rules that if I don’t have Luo Hong when I take over the house, I can’t take a concubine, and if I don’t have children in the future, I can’t take a concubine...
It is said that these terms were decided by the wife and concubine personally. They probably felt that there were too many women around me and were afraid that they would wear down their son. Furthermore, all the maids, big and small, had various thoughts. They all tried their best to run towards me...
No one can say whether she can have children or not. She has to live up to her expectations. Although Yuanyang thinks she can have children, what if it happens?
Even if she takes a concubine in the future, this kind of hairpin is too expensive and feels hot to Yuanyang's hands when holding it, but Daiyu still insists on wearing it when she goes south, saying that she can't lose the Feng family's face.
Unexpectedly, the three grandmas arranged a "business trip" for themselves in Nanjing, and there were so many subtleties in it. Yuanyang didn't even hear anything from the words of the grandma's instructions.
In a word, it is a sentence. On behalf of the Feng family, she cannot let the Feng family lose their dignity, so she can only respond to everything first.
But I am just a maid, how can I represent the Feng family?
With numerous murmurs in mind, Yuanyang could only come to Nanjing wearing a cloak, holding a stove, and carrying a hairpin, but she did not dare to go against the opinions of several grandmothers.
Wherever I thought of when I arrived in Jinling City, I heard that there were a few new aunts on the grandfather's house, which made the magpie be angry and urgent and unhappy.
This Aunt Yousan is useless. She has only been out for a long time. Why are there so many people in the house? How will she explain to the three grandma when she goes back in the future?
Later, when I arrived at the mansion, I heard that one of the four girls was married before, so it was definitely impossible for her to join the mansion as a concubine.
With the loss of one, there are only three people left. The worst they can do is to live outside their homes, so that’s fine.
Although Wang Xifeng and the uncle had an affair and even gave birth to a son, the uncle did not say that he wanted to bring her back to the mansion. The court had its own regulations and did not allow it.
The other three girls, two of them are Grandma Zhu's cousins, sisters Li Min and Li Qi. They have lived in the Grand View Garden for a while and are considered acquaintances. Yuanyang feels a little at ease.
Another girl, Zhen San, is also closely related to the Jia family.
The Jia and Zhen families also have a long-lasting friendship from the older generation. The Zhen family has now replaced the Jia family as the head of the four major families in Jinling, and their status is similar to that of the Jia family in the past.
Zhen Baoyu and Yuanyang met once when they returned to Nanjing last time. They really looked a bit like Jia Baoyu, so the Zhen and Jia families were really destined.
The name of Zhen's Sanxian has heard of it. They all said that it was Xiuwai Huizhong, Lan Xinxin, and in Jinling City, it was also the marriage object of countless giants.
The eldest daughter married the Ding family, the number one gentry in Huizhou, and the second daughter married the prince of Beijing County. Who would have thought that both families collapsed like a torrent of trouble. The eldest daughter Zhen was even divorced and returned to the Zhen family. The Zhen family He himself became a prisoner, but Miss Zhen San entered Feng's house as a concubine. Things in this world are unpredictable and cannot be predicted.
"What do you have to hide?" Feng Ziying glared at Yuanyang, "If I really want to take a concubine, can your grandmothers stop me?"
"What you said is wrong. When did the grandmothers stop me? The second girl and Xiuyan girl came in. The grandmothers were very happy. There is also the matter of the third girl and the fourth girl. Aren't the grandmothers also looking forward to their early arrival? Is it more lively in the Guomen Mansion?" Yuanyang seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "It's just a rule. You can't just take a concubine without knowing the grandmothers in the house, right? Then whichever room you enter will be the best. Can you say hello to Fang’s grandma?”
Feng Ziying coughed dryly and said, "Yuanyang, there are some things you don't know about here. Well, sometimes things need to be improvised..."
"Hey, I also need to make concubines at the last moment. Does it involve the government affairs of the DPRK?" Yuanyang winked and smiled mischievously, "Okay, Master, I don't have the right to supervise what I do. I just remind you that I still have to work with you after I go back." The grandma told me, what should I say to satisfy these grandmas?"
"Yes, Yuanyang, you almost deceived me by saying this. You are also my man. Shouldn't you be the same as me and help me solve my problems? How can you tell the three grandma that you have to Help me think through the reasons and words, okay, I have to go over there first, the two adults over there are impatiently waiting."
Feng Ziying waved her hand with satisfaction, pinched the jade bracelet again, and then left.
