Yun Qi had already left with his people at this time, so Mrs. Cao wanted to know that it would be difficult for Lingxuan to give her anything, and she gritted her teeth even more.
But at this moment, Yun Qi took the box Lingxuan sent back to his courtyard with someone. He felt that the box was light and not an expensive gift, so he opened it curiously, but was dumbfounded.
A pair of suet jade hollowed out peony-shaped hairpins inlaid with gold, and a pair of top-quality Hetian jade jade bracelets, these two are already extremely precious, but there are five thousand taels of silver notes under them. It's a bit tricky.
If Second Aunt finds out, her marriage is about to cause serious trouble.
Yun Qi thought that he hadn't opened it directly in the hall just now, it was really a wise move. It's just that I have to tell my mother about this matter, this gift is too precious.
If the fourth uncle and aunt were here, he, a junior, would definitely not refuse such a gift. But now, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt are gone, and letting Xuan'er, a younger sister, give such a gift is like slapping him in the face, which makes him a little uncomfortable.
Thinking of how I did nothing to help the sisters after the death of my uncle and aunt, I felt even more guilty.
After seeing off Lingxuan, Mrs. Pei ignored Cao's sarcasm. Anyway, it was her son who was going to get married, so she just wanted to be happy, and she couldn't care so much about others. Although she was curious about what Lingxuan gave her, because Cao Shi had her eyes on her, she pretended to be busy in the mansion until Yun Qi sent someone to tell him that the wedding dress was not suitable, so she turned and left.
When Mrs. Pei knew that the congratulatory gift from Lingxuan was so important, she couldn't recover for a long time.
"Mother, we can't accept this congratulatory gift, it's too expensive. Yun Qi has a stubborn loftiness of a scholar in his bones, and because of this, his official career is not very smooth.
Mrs. Pei glanced at her son, sighed heavily and said, "Qi'er, do you think Xuan'er has no other meaning in sending such a congratulatory gift?" He said with pity: "That child is really sweet. She must know that the Yang family is deep, and she is afraid of wronging your daughter-in-law, so she specially sent those two extremely precious jade articles so that your mother can give them to you. Daughter-in-law is a meeting gift. As for the five thousand taels of silver... She doesn't want Yunfu to be looked down upon by others, especially since you are the eldest son and grandson of Yunfu, getting married is a major event, and you must not be careless!"
"But... Yun Qi opened his mouth to say something, but found that after hearing what his mother said, he couldn't say anything.
"She knows it, and she is transparent. Knowing that after our separation, although we live our own lives, we don't need to guess too much. The more Mrs. Pei said, the more she felt pity for Yun Lingxuan, thinking that if she was her own. Daughter, how wonderful that would be. At least, I have a legitimate reason to be concerned, unlike now, whenever I go to Yun's house, I will be ridiculed by Mrs. Cao for trying to find a way to flatter the horse, which is better.
"Mother... Is it really so... difficult for our family?" Yun Qi didn't know how to ask, because he wasn't supposed to ask about these trivial matters.
Hearing her son's question, Mrs. Pei couldn't help but her eyes turned red, revealing all the thoughts in her heart.
"Qi'er, I won't hide it from you. All these years, the mansion has relied on your four uncles and four aunts to be so prosperous. There are many servants and expenses in the family, and people can't gossip about their relationships. There used to be them Hold on, even if I'm the head of the house, I'm not tired. Afterwards, Xuan'er became the housekeeper, and she was even more generous, and my worries were relieved. But before, your second aunt made a noise, and Yun He humiliated Yan'er. It made Xuan'er furious, and took back all the money. The mother who got it was caught off guard... The mother wanted to sell several dowry Zhuangzi, so she wanted to make your marriage a good one. Sending so many banknotes makes me feel guilty and uneasy!" It was the first time Pei said this in front of Yun Qi, and Yun Qi was stunned.
When he thought about it, even if the family was divided, at any rate, compared with the previous situation, there was no loss in food and use, so he thought that was the best, but unexpectedly, his mother felt so much pain in his heart.
"Mother, then...then my marriage should not be a big deal. Yun Qi thought about it, and only in this way can Mother not be so embarrassed.
"Nonsense, when Mrs. Pei heard it, she immediately reprimanded: "Even Xuan'er knows how important your marriage is, yet you still talk nonsense. If your marriage is too stingy, will you let the remaining siblings still be human? Because of this, even if my mother sold all the dowry, she still has to support your marriage! "She has another son, she can't be so selfish.
For the first time, Yun Qi felt that what he learned was nothing at all, and he didn't help his family at all.
No fame, no fortune, and it just added to the pressure on my mother, making my heart complicated.
"Don't think too much about it. With the banknote brought by Xuan'er, your marriage will not go well. Your second aunt is just waiting to see the joke. You can roughly guess how many private houses we have. " Mrs. Pei rubbed the center of her brows, feeling really disgusted with Mrs. Cao.
"But the bank note that Xuan'er sent, can't be known by her!?" After knowing it, she has to make trouble again.
"Don't worry, mother knows, she said it was obtained by selling the dowry. You have to tell your grandmother and Xuan'er about this matter, and you have to wrong her. Pei knows that Lingxuan is so low-key. I just want to send congratulatory gifts because I don't want others to know, but I always want to send my heart.
If she didn't send it, Xuan'er thought she was so dissatisfied.
Lingxuan was unaware of the entanglement between Pei's mother and son. The purpose of her giving the gift was just as Mrs. Pei had guessed, and she never thought of Mrs. Pei explaining the situation to herself.
For her, before the whole Yunfu, including the Cao family, she had to give money, but now she is happy that she doesn't have to give it to the Cao family and Yunhe, and she doesn't care what to do with so much.
After giving the congratulatory gift, Lingxuan planned to go back home. After all, there was still a big Buddha squatting at home. If something happened, it was not a joke.
"What's the matter?" The carriage stopped halfway through, and Nanny Bai lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked in a low voice.
"Bai Nai, there are people arguing in front of the groom that he is afraid of trouble and dare not approach rashly.
Just as Lingxuan was about to open her mouth to say something, she heard an arrogant voice burying her and said, "It's really a good look for nothing, even if it's from Prince Yong's mansion, don't be so arrogant, just drive the carriage up in broad daylight , is this trying to kill my Daxiu!?"
From Prince Yong's Mansion? Lingxuan raised her brows, but she didn't speak anymore.
"It was you who broke in suddenly and alarmed my horse!" The voice sounded like a maid's unconvinced sophistry.
"Listen everyone, the concubine in Prince Yong's mansion is rushing to bully others, and in the sneering voice, the identity of the concubine's identity is exposed in a sinister manner, which shows what kind of intentions you have.
Wan Cheng Meier was in the carriage, twisting her handkerchief vigorously, her eyes were red with grievance, but she didn't know how to deal with the matter in front of her.
"You said that someone bullied your Daxiu, and you don't know where your Daxiu was injured? Where did you get shocked?" A voice of aggrievedness came in, and the question was not polite at all. "Even if she is a concubine of Prince Yong's Mansion, I believe she can afford to pay some money!"
When the servant girl who was standing on the carriage shouting heard such a question, she immediately choked up and couldn't speak. With a blushing face, she angrily stared at the nosy maid who suddenly appeared, and said sharply: "You Where did it come from? Dare to take care of historians?"
historian? Lingxuan's eyes flickered for a moment, knowing why someone was rushing on the road to block Prince Yong's mansion so much.
The historian is the mother family of Wanqi Lingxuan's concubine and concubine Liang. Before in the court, Prince Yong ruined Wanqi Lingxuan's good deeds, which made the historian hold his breath, but there were no swords in the court, but let the little girl come out to make trouble. It's really good.
If she guessed correctly, the person sitting in the carriage should be the eldest daughter of Concubine Liang's brother's family, Shi Pingting, known as Daxiu.
"Hey, a little girl from the Shi family is going to kill people in the street. The girl didn't back down, but retorted arrogantly, not paying attention to the family background of the Shi family at all.
"There was a soft voice in Que'er's carriage, "Forget it, let's go!" "
"When Daxiu Que'er heard this, he said in disbelief: "Why forget it? Just now you bumped hard and were taken aback. Has Daxiu ever suffered such a grievance? "
Wan Tengmei'er didn't know what was going on in the court, because her father and brother protected her very well, but she was not ignorant, knowing that what people did today was nothing more than wanting to ruin her reputation.
She doesn't care about her own reputation, after all, she is a concubine, and she doesn't care what others think. However, she couldn't hurt Prince Yong's mansion because of herself, it was something she would defend to the death, so she changed her timidity just now, put on a felt hat, opened the curtain, and walked out with the help of a maid, raising her voice Said: "Sister Shijia has a noble status, but although Meier is a concubine, she has been held in the palm of her father and brother since she was a child, and she has never been wronged at all. If sister Shijia feels that she has been wronged today, Why don't we find a place to reason and see who scares who? It's better than letting Shijia's sister be wronged for nothing. If it is really the carriage of Prince Yong's mansion that disturbed Shijia's sister, Prince Yong's mansion will definitely send someone to apologize. How could someone from the Prince's Mansion be so cowardly
Lingxuan heard Wan Tengmei'er's sonorous and forceful voice, and knew that she, like Yan'er, was well protected by her family, but she would not allow others to slander her family in the slightest.
She's a nice girl.
When Meier came out and said something, the people who said it changed their views, but Shi Pingting gritted her teeth angrily.
