Chu Lian sat up in his arms, and He Sanlang wrapped her long arms around her to prevent her from accidentally slipping off the edge of the bed.
The brocade box is exquisitely designed, with a built-in lock on the side, and the box will pop open with a light flick.
Only a "click" was heard, and the brocade box was opened. On the indigo blue velvet lay a suet jade pendant, which was snow-white and flawless. The jade pendant was not big, only the size of a thumb, carved into a lifelike shape of a horse.
The mane on the horse's body can be clearly seen, so it can be seen that the jade pendant is of great value. The jade pendant is decorated with a red string woven with gold thread inside, which is obviously an ornament worn around the neck.
Chu Lian's zodiac is a horse, which is the same as Chu Lian in the original book.
Her clear eyes were shining, and she obviously liked the gift He Changdi gave him for the first time.
She picked up this delicate jade pendant and waved it in front of He Sanlang, and said with a sweet smile, "When did you buy it?"
He Sanlang's handsome face was stiff, he had been observing the expression on her face, and he was relieved when he found the corners of her mouth were really upturned, God knows how nervous he was when he just gave out the New Year gift, He was even more anxious, he had thought of thousands of possibilities, what if she didn't like it, what if she disliked the cheapness of this jade pendant, in short, all his worries finally settled when he saw her happy face .
But He Changdi has always been awkward, when he heard Chu Lian's question, he just replied in a low voice: "I bought it when I went to Sucheng."
What a fart, this guy didn't know how many days he lay in bed thinking about this gift, and he dragged it off until the twenty-seventh year of the year before he let Lai Yue go to Sucheng to choose from thousands of choices, and he almost gave Lai Yue a gift. Run to die.
This small piece of mutton fat jade has almost used up all his savings. In fact, he wants to buy better, but his current ability has come to an end.
Chu Lian understood that he said something against his will, so she smiled and moved closer to He Sanlang, "My husband is really lucky, just buy a jade pendant that is in the shape of a horse, or a piece of rare sheep fat jade, if there is a next time , Why don’t you help me buy a few more yuan and let me return to Beijing to give it away.”
He Sanlang's forehead twitched, and if he bought a few more yuan, it would be better to sell him now.
Chu Lian stretched out his hands and stretched out the jade pendant in front of him.
The snow-white and warm suet jade pendant was reflected in the middle of Bai Nuo's little hand, which almost dazzled He Changdi's deep eyes. He raised his eyebrows in confusion, and asked her what she was doing with his eyes.
Chu Lian supported his forehead, puffed his cheeks and said speechlessly: "Help me put it on, don't you want me to wear it all the time if you bought it for me?"
Only then did He Sanlang put on a cold and handsome face, took the jade pendant, lifted Chu Lian's black hair behind him, revealing a section of white and greasy neck, and then gently put the horse-shaped mutton jade on her neck between.
Porcelain white skin hides the golden and alternate red lines. Following the red lines, the gaze sweeps across the gently curved jaw, reaching the slightly raised place in front.
The jade pendant fell on top, like the most beautiful decoration, and also like the deepest imprint he gave her.
Chu Lian broke away from He Sanlang's arm, turned around, and asked him with a sweet smile, "Does it look good?"
He Sanlang looked gentle, reached out to caress the jade pendant on Chu Lian's chest, and nodded happily.
"Nice." His voice was low and hoarse.
Chu Lian was stunned, never thought that he could be emotional at this moment, quickly stuffed the jade pendant into his lapel, quickly got out of bed, and walked to the table, "You rest first, I haven't finished unpacking this red envelope yet, I'll finish unpacking it just sleep."
He Changdi was slightly embarrassed by his handsome appearance, but he didn't stop Chu Lian this time.
Anyway, he has already slept on his wife's bed, and his goal has been achieved, so he doesn't care about other things so much.
After the heart-warming and heart-pounding scene just now, Chu Lian actually didn't have the heart to open the red envelope at all, but just sat back at the table to avoid embarrassment.
Absently opened the purse given by Sima Hui.
The red purse embroidered with twine patterns had already been opened by Chu Lian. Chu Lian tipped over slightly, and the contents of the purse slipped out.
The warm palms turned cold for a while, Chu Lian lowered her head and glanced, then she was taken aback for a moment, the next second she clenched her palms, secretly glanced at He Changdi who was leaning on the bed behind her, and smiled stiffly.
He Sanlang frowned, wondering: "What's wrong? What's in the purse?"
Chu Lian hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's just a few bank notes, I'll go out and ask Lan Duan to come in with hot water."
While speaking, he quickly stepped out of the bedroom.
He Changdi stared at his wife's back, his eyes suddenly darkened.
Get hot water, wherever you want to go out to call someone, the side room is next to it, usually the master's house is tied with a bell line connected to the side room, when a maidservant comes in to serve, just pull the line.
Chu Lian went outside and stroked his chest, heaved a long breath, and quickly hid the thing in his hand, if He Sanlang's snake spirit saw this thing, it would definitely leave a pimple in his heart.
Fortunately, she was sitting with her back facing him just now.
Chu Lian sighed, called Wen Lan, and returned to the dormitory.
When Chu Lian came back, He Sanlang didn't say anything, as if he hadn't noticed what happened just now. After Chu Lian washed up, he hugged her and fell asleep.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year the next day, even in the sparsely populated Liangzhou City, a few sparse firecrackers could be heard early in the morning.
Even though he was in the north, he couldn't ignore the etiquette. Chu Lian got up early in the morning to arrange the New Year's greetings for General Qian and others.
When Chu Lian got up, He Changdi was still sleeping. She gently tucked him in the quilt without waking him up, and quietly got dressed and got out of bed.
As soon as Chu Lian came out of the dormitory, He Sanlang opened his eyes. He first stared at the ceiling for a while, and after a while, he threw off the quilt, pulled the cloak from the screen and put it on his body, and went to the outside room.
When he came out with a limp, Wenqing who was guarding outside was startled.
"Third young master, you are..."
He Changdi gave her a cold look, and said coldly: "Go and guard the door, don't let others in."
Wenqing stared at him in surprise, but unfortunately, under the threat of He Changdi's cold eyes, he was quickly defeated and went to guard the gate with a heart full of apprehension.
After Wenqing closed the door and backed out, He Changdi started rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
He Changdi, who had been in the military camp for a while, followed the clues to find things quickly.
Not long after, he touched a piece of cold texture from under the pillow on the bed of the warm kang, took it out and looked at it, and in an instant, his whole body froze.
This is also a jade pendant in the shape of a horse. It is also suet jade, but both the workmanship and the quality of the jade are better than what he gave.
He grew up in an aristocratic family, and he can tell the quality of things at a glance. This piece of jade looks like it has been around for a long time. I am afraid it is an old thing from the previous dynasty. Maybe it was handed down from the palace. The price is priceless.
Compared with this piece of horse jade, his piece pales in comparison.
But Chu Lian secretly hid the jade.
He Sanlang felt warm in his heart, he understood Chu Lian's intention of doing this.
He Changdi was stunned for a moment, then carefully put the jade back to its original place, and ordered Wenqing to come in.
He was leaning against the head of the bed, with a stern face and a cool demeanor. He had trained in the army to be a forceful deterrent, which made Wenqing bow his head involuntarily.
She and Wenlan grew up under the upbringing of Nanny Zhong, and they had seen the third young master a lot when they were young, but now that they saw this master in the northern border, they always felt more and more pressure all over their bodies. Now in front of him, she didn't even dare to lift her head.
Wen Qing swallowed nervously, and asked nervously, "What is the third young master calling the servant?"
He Sanlang's voice was like spitting ice, "Who gave the purse your grandma received yesterday?"
Wen Qing didn't expect him to ask this, and worried about the misunderstanding between the third young master and the third grandma, he quickly replied: "The pouch with the branch pattern that the third grandma received yesterday was a gift from General Sima, and the servants saw it with their own eyes. "You must be misunderstood that the third grandma took things from other irrelevant people.
He Changdi narrowed his eyes slightly, Sima Hui, it's Sima Hui again!
Chu Lian is his daughter-in-law, why is he here to join in the fun, this hateful tomboy!
Asking Qing Yunli to come out of the bedroom in a fog, he couldn't understand why the third young master let her out after only asking about the purse.
He Sanlang, who was leaning against the bed alone, was thinking deeply.
Originally, he didn't care about those extraneous things, as long as he had enough money, and he had no place to spend money in the army, but now it seemed that he couldn't do without earning some money.
At the very least, what he gave to his daughter-in-law cannot be compared by others.
The New Year's Ceremony was ready in the morning, and Mo Chenggui and his family sent all the things to the military camp for distribution.
Chu Lian had just finished his work when Guanshi Qin entered the main room with a smile on his face.
During this period of time, he has been busy with the things arranged by Chu Lian, but he is thinner than when he was in Shengjing City, and his face is not so round, it has become angular.
As the saying goes, every fat man is a potential stock, and Guanshi Qin who has lost weight is actually a good man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
This tiger-faced smile who smiled before saying a word, really has the airs of being in charge.
Chu Lian was sitting on the kang in the main room, drinking red bean and lotus seed porridge, and seeing his happy face when he came in, he also laughed, "Good thing?"
When he arrived in front of Chu Lian, Steward Qin did not forget etiquette. He first saluted Chu Lian respectfully and said auspicious words for the new year, and then reported the business.
"Hard work pays off, the little one finally did what the third grandma ordered."
Chu Lian's eyes lit up, and Guan Qin's speed really surprised her a little.
She put down the small sweet white porcelain bowl in her hand, "When will the market open?"
"The next day at the latest, the barbarians don't celebrate the Spring Festival. This time happens to be the time when supplies are most scarce. I have already inquired about the small locations. There are a total of 18 places. The things will be transported over the past two days. As long as the people are together, they can be opened immediately. city."
Chu Lian praised without hesitation, "You did a good job in this matter, remember what I told you, when the time comes, we will provide the things we got in exchange to the northern frontier army first, and if they don't need it, then we can use it as the basis." My plan is to do it. In addition, 40% of the commission will be given to the northern frontier army, and we will take 60%. "
