Chapter 93 Incident
Xie Zhiwei was about to go back to the house, when Gan Tang came in, Fu said behind him, "Miss, the second wife is here, she is waiting in the room, she insists on seeing the girl."
finally come!
Under the candlelight, Xie Zhiwei showed a sneering smile on her exquisite face, she raised her hand to straighten her dress, helped the bead flower on her head, her tired eyes suddenly shone brightly, "Let's go and meet my second aunt."
Mrs. Xiao was sitting in the room drinking tea uneasily. The teacup with the pattern of flowers and fruits in the bucket in hand was white and delicate, with elegant blue and white flowers and bright glaze. The Great Zhou Wu De Nian Yuzhi" is a treasure hidden by the royal family of the previous dynasty. If this small one is sold, it will cost at least a thousand taels of silver.
Xiaoshi has always known that the eldest girl in the family eats and uses exquisite offerings, but she never thought that a random teacup here is a relic from the previous dynasty.
She quickly put the teacup on the table, for fear of accidentally dropping it.
"Second aunt is here?"
When Xie Zhiwei went to the eaves of the corridor, he saw Mrs. Xiao, and after saying hello, he hurriedly came forward to salute, "I don't know if the second aunt came to me, what's your order?"
Xie Zhiwei knew why Xiao Shi came here, so she was not polite. As soon as she sat down, Gan Tang brought her a bowl of tea. The tea with green leaves and red borders has a delicate fragrance, which is not the same tea as the one Xiao Shi drank just now.
"Why did you make this drink all of a sudden?" Xie Zhi frowned slightly, but still enjoyed a sip.
Zi Mo hurried forward, "Cai Yuqing forgot to tell the girl. After noon, Master Lu sent someone to send some of these, saying that they just arrived. There are not many, so there are not many." Give it to the girl, she can drink whatever she wants in the future."
Is she also free to drink the top grade Dahongpao?
Xie Zhiwei didn't say anything.
Today, when she was checking Lu Yan's pulse in the palace, Eunuch Tangyuan served this tea. When she was leaving the palace, a little **** rushed over and gave her a paper bag, about two taels. How precious is Dahongpao, who would be willing to drink it?
"What kind of good tea is it? Give it to my second aunt." Xiao said with a smile.
Xie Zhiwei covered the tea bowl, smiled, noncommittal, and said, "Today, because of my affairs, Second Aunt has been troubled. It is so late at night, and Second Aunt hasn't said why yet?"
"Miss, Second Aunt came here today to ask, what happened to Second Aunt's housewife, Jin Rui's family, what happened? I have something to tell her today, but I have been looking for her for a long time, but I didn't find her. Where did the idiot hide for laziness, thinking that if she was found, she would not be spared, only to find out later that she was imprisoned in the firewood room by the eldest girl two days ago, and I don't know what happened to her?"
Before Xie Zhiwei could answer, Xiao quickly continued the conversation, "I think she must have offended the young lady, don't worry, the young lady, she has always acted a little crazy, I know, the young lady entrusted her to me, two Auntie must be the master for you, and she will never be spared."
Xie Zhiwei glanced at it before handing it to Mrs. Xiao, "Second Aunt, this is a damaged item in Siyi Pavilion. I have had someone estimate the price later on. The inside and outside plus the doors and windows need to be repaired. It will cost two dollars in total. More than ten thousand taels of silver. I don't know how Second Aunt plans to deal with this kind of slave?"
Xiao's face turned pale in a flash. She saw a pair of blue and white Eight Immortals crossing the sea gourd vases inside and estimated the price at more than five thousand taels, and a pair of pastel chrysanthemum pattern straight neck vases cost more than seven thousand taels of silver. She couldn't help but exclaimed, " These two pairs of bottles cost more than 10,000 taels, how could this happen?"
"Why not?" Xie Zhiwei raised his chin at Xiao's teacup with a flower and fruit pattern that he had just used, "Didn't the second aunt just look at a teacup with a bucket of color? Do you think it is worth a lot of money? That day The ornaments placed in the Siyi Pavilion are all treasures from the warehouse, each of which represents the glory of the ancestors of the Xie family, not to mention anything else, just the pair of blue and white eight immortals crossing the sea gourd vases, which are the third of the Xie family When Dai Patriarch won the first prize in the examination, it was bestowed by Emperor Taizong of the Great Ye Dynasty, and it has been handed down for hundreds of years, so Second Aunt thinks that five thousand taels of silver is too much or too little?"
Xiao's mind went blank. She really didn't expect that just two pairs of bottles are nothing more than porcelain, and if broken, it will be broken. How could she think that it is really an inch of gold.
Nurse Tang came forward to bless her body, and said with a smile, "Miss, you are joking, these are just two pairs of bottles, they look good at home, why are they worth so much money?"
Xie Zhi smiled. She picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. She lifted the lid of the bowl and let Mammy Tang take a look, "Look, Mammy, I have tea in this bowl, and tea is also in the rough tea bowls of ordinary people outside. They are all tea leaves, but if you go to buy my tea leaves, you won't be able to buy them."
Xiao's complexion was not good. Just now she asked Xie Zhiwei to brew a bowl for her, but Xie Zhiwei didn't say anything, but now he used tea as an issue.
"In the future, Mammy, don't say such ridiculous and generous words. What kind of family is our family? It's different from those shabby households. We use it for ourselves every day and pay attention to practicality. But if it's for entertaining guests, we still need to pay attention to the cost of the utensils. It's exquisite and elegant."
She almost didn't say that this is the style of the family.
Mrs. Xiao glanced at Nanny Tang, and Nanny Tang understood, and hurriedly said, "Miss, just now, I was a servant with short knowledge, so I really shouldn't have said such a thing. I think this money is too much."
Mr. Xiao said from the side, "I don't know why the eldest girl is so sure that Siyi Pavilion was destroyed by Jin Rui's family?"
"I can't be sure, but it doesn't matter. The imperial court has a special yamen to interrogate these perpetrators. If it wasn't for Jin Rui's family, the yamen wouldn't have wronged her. If she was, the imperial court would naturally have laws to punish her."
Ms. Xiao was taken aback. "Young lady, you are planning to hand her over to the yamen?"
"Second Aunt thinks it's inappropriate?" Xie Zhiwei was also surprised, "Could it be that Second Aunt thinks that the family should punish her privately? This is illegal."
The blood on Madam Tang's face also faded away, but she heard that nine and a half out of ten interrogated prisoners in the yamen couldn't stand it, if the Jinrui family's trick, wouldn't she be unlucky too up?
Nurse Tang was fighting on both sides, her whole body was like sifting chaff, she looked at Xiao Shi for help.
Xiao's hands were shaking too, and she couldn't sit still, "Miss, this matter is no small matter. If family matters get into the yamen, wouldn't it be a joke for people outside? Otherwise, you should put Leave it to me from Jinrui's family, and Second Aunt will find a way to make her tell the truth."
