Everyone must come to congratulate when they move into the new home. In the afternoon, Yuru and Yujing and others came over, and they both prepared gifts. What Yuru prepared was a Kang screen: "I embroidered it myself, and I hope my fourth sister will not dislike it." Yuxi's embroidering skills are well known by the government. It's a pity that Yuxi pursues perfection too much, and the embroidered embroidery is so pitiful. Only the old lady and the old lady have had her embroidery, and the others have no chance.
Yuxi took the Kang screen and smiled and said: "It's too late to like it, and I will dislike it everywhere." Yuxi also knows that she is faulty, but there is no way. If the embroidery does not meet her requirements, she would rather destroy it than Take it out and use it.
What Yujing gave was also embroidery, a seat screen. The difference is that Yuru’s Kangping screen showed that she embroidered it herself, while Yujing’s gift was obviously from the maid’s hand. Yuxi didn't show that he didn't like it either, and thanked him with a smile.
Yuchen gave a painting. Tingyun Pavilion had been cleaned up a long time ago. In early May, Yuchen resolutely moved back to Tingyun Pavilion despite the opposition of Mrs. Han.
Yuxi originally thought it was Yuchen's own painting, but when he opened it, he was shocked. Yuchen turned out to be Wu Daozi's "Five Sages and Thousand Officials". Yuxi hurriedly declined and said, "Sister Sister, this gift is too expensive, I can't ask for it. If Sister Sister really wants to give me a painting, and paint one for me, I will like it better." This stuff is valuable. No city! Yuxi couldn't figure out why Yuxi gave such an expensive gift.
Yuchen shook his head and said: "If you send something out, there is no reason to take it back. If you like my painting, I will finish it and send it to you in the future."
It's certainly not good to accept such a valuable thing, but Yuchen is a look that he won't take it back when he sends it out. Yuxi really feels that Yuchen is giving her a problem.
Looking at Yuxi's embarrassed expression, Yurong felt that Yuxi would really pretend. This calligraphy and painting are extremely valuable, and she was anxious that Yuchen would give two more, but she even pretended to be difficult. But thinking that from returning from Hebei to now, Yuchen gave her a few things that were very common, and she felt uncomfortable. The same sister, but different treatment.
Yu Ru smiled and said: "This is the heart of the third sister, you can accept it!" I still remember that she was very enthusiastic when she saw this painting, but she didn't expect it to be in Yuxi's hands in a blink of an eye. However, it was luck that the painting was not snatched that day.
Those thieves didn't understand the calligraphy and painting, let alone the "Five Sages and Thousand Officials Picture" hanging in the painting room, they didn't even want the precious calligraphy and painting in the study room.
Yu Jing really couldn't understand Yuxi's dilemma, and said, "Sister, don't be hypocritical."
With Yuchen's gift in front, the gifts Yurong and Qiuyanfu gave can be ignored. The two didn't really want to give Yuxi a gift, but it was because it was not good to give it.
After everyone sat down, the maid brought a few plates of peaches. These peaches have an attractive fragrance and a gorgeous color. Yuxi smiled and said, "This peach tastes good, try it."
Yu Rong looked at these peaches and asked, "Did you buy these peaches by the fourth sister?" Everyone in the mansion knew that Yuxi had burnt the house, and there was no money to buy peaches. The peaches are just on the market, and the price is very expensive, and most people can't afford it.
Yuxi smiled and said, "No, I don't have any spare money. The second brother sent this peach in the morning." As for whether Han Jianye bought it or someone else got it, she didn't know. Yu Rong sneered, knowing that he would go to the big room without looking at where he was. I don't know what Dad thinks, but he didn't care about it, so Yuxi went to the big room to show his courtesy.
Yuru smiled and said, "Second brother really hurts fourth sister."
Yuxi didn't seem to see the different faces of everyone, and smiled happily: "Yes! The second brother loves me very much, and when he sees good things outside, he will think of me. Over the years, I have acquired a lot of rare things. Second brother bought it."
After hearing this, Yuchen showed a sad expression on his face.
Madam Gui didn’t know that Yuchen gave Wu Daozi’s "Five Saints and Thousand Officials". After she knew it, she said: "Girl, you gave the fourth girl such a precious thing, what will the eldest girl and the second girl have in the future? Happy event, what should the girl give away?"
Yuchen smiled: "They can't have a housewarming." She lost her jewelry and smashed some porcelain and jade, but her fixed assets, such as the house deeds and land deeds, and silver notes are still there, so Yuchen did not agree. It didn't hurt the bones.
Madam Gui said softly, "The girl is so kind to the fourth girl." It was too good to be too good, making people think that the third girl was chasing the fourth girl.
Yuchen said indifferently: "It's just a calligraphy and painting, which is a good one!"
Madam Gui looked at Yuxi's behavior and said, "Girl, the fourth girl always behaves well, but she has a grudge against the old lady and the old man. This is a fact that cannot be changed. Otherwise, she should have taken it with her that night. Zijin and the Deng sisters went to the upper house to protect the old lady, instead of going to the main courtyard. If the four girls went to the upper house, the upper house would not die so many people." Grandma Gui said this in the hope that Yuchen could guard Yu Hee, don't be emotional.
For such a long time, how could Yuchen not know what Mother Gui was thinking, and said softly: "Mother, you go out, I want to be alone." Why didn't she know what Mum Gui said? But, what was her position to blame Yuxi for that night
After Mother Gui left, Yuchen walked to the window and looked at the lotus swaying outside, her mood was unusually heavy.
Yuchen has been reflecting on this period of time. Yuxi knew to let the maid take refuge in the rockery in the garden after she discovered that something was wrong, but what about her? She only followed Mother Gui to the room, leaving all the others behind. If she had arranged the people below as well as Yuxi did, wouldn't those people die? Also, Yuxi only took purple pansy and the Deng sisters and guarded the main courtyard, but she and grandmother did nothing. Knowing that the culprits were coming, they hid in the dark pavilion of the Buddhist hall and did not care about the maids at all. son. But she was hiding in the dark pavilion, listening to the crying for help from the crowd, but could do nothing. She couldn't forget that feeling until she died.
And through this incident, she also saw the gap between herself and Yuxi. Yes, Yuxi's appearance and talent are not better than her, but in other respects she is far behind Yuxi.
Yuchen sometimes thinks that Yuxi is just a mirror. Every time she looks in this mirror, she can discover her shortcomings. It's not terrible to have shortcomings, but you don't know where your shortcomings are.
In the evening, Yuxi received a gift from Han Jingyan, a set of four treasures of the study. After Yuxi took a look, she let the maid put in the study.
With a study room, reading is much easier. But after reading the medical book for half an hour, Yuxi was uncomfortable again. She thought of the burnt "Han Shu" and the notes she had made, and her six years of hard work was wiped out.
The next day, Yuxi looked for the Qiu family and said that she wanted to go out to buy books. The books Yuxi bought before have been turned into ashes. These Qiu clan all know them. But Qiu's didn't agree to Yuxi's request.
The Qiu family said, "It's still a little messy outside now. You can go out to buy books after a while." Seeing Yuxi's disagreement, he said: "It's so eager, let your second brother buy it for you." Qiu's also became a bird of fright.
Yuxi responded with a smile, and then talked about another thing: "Auntie, should we let the Deng sisters go back." Since the accident, the Qiu family has left the Deng sisters behind. On weekdays, she must be with someone beside her to be at ease. This is also a sequelae from that night.
Qiu's hesitated.
Upon seeing this, Yuxi took a compromise approach: "Auntie, Deng Shuang's wedding date is set for October, and she has to go back to embroider the dowry. If you want, you can let Deng Xue stay for a while."
The Qiu family thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let their sisters go back! The mansion is now patrolled every night, so there should be no more trouble."
Yuxi said with relief: "Auntie, there was a reason for that last time. If there are any more culprits, they will definitely come back and forth." Last time, the prince rebelled and many people wanted to fish in troubled waters. Who dares to do such a thing now, that is not what it means to die.
Qiu's nodded, and said, "You are right, there can be no such thing." This is not so much for Yuxi, it is better for her to stand it up.
Yuxi knew that the Qiu family had fallen into the shadows, and said, "Auntie, if you are uneasy, put two more healthy women in the yard. If something really happens, they can resist it for a while."
Seeing how calm and calm Yuxi said, Qiu suddenly laughed: "Thanks to my auntie who has lived such a long time, she is not as good as you, so she will live and go back." Yuxi is not afraid. She is scared, isn't it a joke.
Yuxi felt that it was normal for the Qiu family to be afraid: "Auntie has too much worry to let go, so she is afraid."
Qiu couldn't help but pat the back of Yuxi's head after hearing these words: "What's this? I have too much to let go of, as if you are not concerned."
Yuxi smiled softly, not explaining everything. Speaking of which, there is really nothing to worry about in Guogong's mansion.
Qiu's heart was choked, but she couldn't say anything better. He simply turned around and ordered Liu Yue: "Go and call the two sisters Deng Shuang and Deng Xue."
Sister Deng Shuang was relieved when she knew that the Qiu family was going to let them go. They eat well, live well, and dress well in the Guogong Mansion, but they feel uncomfortable. But Mrs. Guogong didn't ask to let them go back, and they couldn't take the initiative to ask to leave. The employer did not say that the contract is completed, where can they take the initiative to terminate the contract.
The Qiu family was a very generous person. Knowing that Deng Shuang was about to get married, he not only sent materials and jewelry, but also gave them 100 acres of fertile land as a dowry. This thing is much more affordable than silver.
Sisters Deng Shuang got these things, and their mouths couldn't close with joy. This fertile field around the capital is something that money can't buy. The sisters took the reward and went back happily. This errand is really worth it.
Yuxi said, "Auntie, just give them one thousand taels of silver each, so why should we send fertile fields?" This is a bit big.
The Qiu clan smiled and said, "The prince's rebellion has implicated many people. Those who have a little family background will take this opportunity to buy a property." Those who are implicated in the rebellion have all the properties they own are for sale. Qiu's still had a good eye, and during this time he bought shops and land properties.
Yuxi hurriedly said, "Auntie, I still have more than three thousand taels of silver on hand. Can you buy another shop?" Although Yuxi earns two to three thousand taels of silver each year, she also spends a lot of money. , And now it has only deposited more than three thousand taels of silver.
Qiu's smiled, took a small box from Mama Li and handed it to Yuxi. Yuxi knew what this thing was without looking, and shook his head and said, "Auntie, I can't ask for this thing."
The Qiu clan put the small box in Yuxi's hands and said, "This is the dowry my aunt prepared for you, but it's just given to you in advance."
Yuxi don't want to live or die.
Mother Li smiled and said: "Four girls, this is something that the lady specially set up for you. Wouldn't it be a waste of your lady's effort if you didn't take it." Before Qiu's family supplemented Yuxi, Mother Li would say something. I'm afraid of giving things too generously, and I'm afraid that Yuxi will make an inch. But now, Mama Li didn't have a word. This is nothing compared to what Yuxi did before.
In desperation, Yuxi could only take this small box.
Mother Li and Qiu said: "The temperament of the four girls is really rare." That night Yuxi not only protected the lives of all the people in the main courtyard, but also preserved the property of the main courtyard. With such a great contribution, the four girls not only did not take credit, but seemed to have forgotten about it. This made Mama Li admire her very much.
Qiu's nodded and said, "Yes! Thanks to Yuxi." Without Yuxi, she must be the same as the old lady, the property in the yard had been looted. If so, where does she have money to buy a farm shop!
Mother Li smiled and said: "This is also the kindness of the wife." If the Qiu family did not treat the fourth girl as her own daughter, the fourth girl would not come to the main courtyard to protect the wife regardless of danger. It must be with her. The maid hid like a rockery.
The Qiu family agrees very much with this sentence: "If you are alive, you still have to accumulate blessings." Only by accumulating blessings can you get blessings.
Returning to Tao Ranju, Yuxi gave the box to Perilla.
Zisu is a fan of money, and loves money even more than Yuxi, otherwise she hadn't forgotten to let the maid-in-law of the Qiangweiyuan snatch the jewelry out of the dangerous situation at the time. Zisu opened the box, looked at the contents, and said happily: "Girl, the madam sent a shop in East Street, plus a thousand acres of fertile land." These two things are more valuable than the industry Yuxi has on hand. .
Since it was a dowry for her, Yuxi knew that it was the shop and Tianchan without having to look at it. Only these industries are the most affordable. Yuxi said: "Since the eldest mother gave it, you can put it away!"
Zisu happily put these things away, and said to Yuxi: "Girl, the estate in your hand plus the dowry given to you in the future, we won't have to worry about silver money in the future." At that time, Yuxi paid out five hundred each year. The two silvers let the purple pansy learn art, and her hair is almost pale.
Yuxi didn't respond to these words. If there are no mistakes, these industries can indeed ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing. But no one knows what will happen in the future.
ps: dears, good night, have a good dream.
