Chapter 31 (1/2)
In addition to Gongzhong's, the old lady and Yuchen also have gifts for the annual gift from Hebei. The old lady's is a long-lived crutch, which is made of rare precious wood, which is only available in Chengde, Hebei Province. Its wood is white and flawless, delicate as jade, and it has the reputation of false ivory.
What Yuchen got was also a wall screen with a picture of flowers and birds carved in wood. The flowers and birds on the wall screen were as if they were alive. The carving work was extremely fine.
Yuchen likes this thing very much. It's not only because of its originality, but also because her father sent it. In these years, there will be gifts on the jade Festival, and also on the birthday. Every time I get something, jade Chen will hang out, this time is no exception.
Yuxi has red Shan as a kind of revenger, who is very clear about the major events in the mansion. So Yuchen got a pair of screen hanging things she soon knew.
Hongshan didn't want to say it at first. The third girl got the gift from the master, but the girl in her family has nothing. The girl knows it's uncomfortable. But Yuxi wants to ask, not to say no.
Yuxi was sad for this for a long time in her last life, but now she didn't pay attention to it at all: ”there is nothing rare in the capital city. As long as you have money, you can buy it. It's just in front of me.”
Hongshan looked at Yuxi carefully, and found that she was not sad. She said bravely, ”girl, I think it's not the meaning of the master, it's the meaning of the third lady.” Hongshan hopes Yuxi doesn't resent the third master. After all, the third master is his father, and his daughter will depend on his father later.
Yuxi said with a smile, ”it doesn't matter who you mean. Besides this, is there anything else in the mansion these two days? ”
Hongshan shook her head and said, ”nothing happened in this quiet period of time.”
Yuxi listened to this, no response, turned around and looked at her chess manual. Now Yuxi is to watch the chess manual as long as he has time. He plays chess while watching the chess manual. He can be used by two people by himself, forgetting to eat and sleep. According to Mo Ju and others, their girls have gone mad.
Shen's mother watched Hongshan come out of the room and asked in a low voice, ”what did the girl say?”
Hongshan knew that if she said that the girl didn't care about hanging the screen, her mother would surely tell the old lady about it. I don't know why. Hongshan has a feeling that there is no performance on the girl's face. In fact, she knows what they have done in her heart. Subconsciously, Hongshan didn't tell the truth: ”the girl is very sad. She said that she wanted to stay alone for a while and didn't want to be disturbed.”
Shen's mother was skeptical and asked, ”really?”
Hongshan scolds in her heart. This kind of thankless thing makes her rush forward. If the old lady scolds the girl, then the responsibility will be put on her. This Shen mother-in-law is really good. But Hongshan didn't dare to offend Mrs. Shen. She said with a smile, ”what do I cheat my mother for?”
Shen's mother was dubious, but when she saw that Yuxi's eyes were red and her face was not good, she believed Hongshan's words.
Yuxi looks at Shen's mother's appearance, but she has some difficulty. She really doesn't understand what the old lady thinks now? She is afraid that she will retaliate because of the doctor's affairs. If she doesn't have this ability, she will not retaliate even if she has this ability in the future due to her filial piety: ”Hongshan, let your brother send a letter to Fang's mother, and you can ask her to go to the government for a visit in the new year.” She has something to tell Fang's mother. I have been very busy before, but these two days my husband will have a holiday, and she will be able to relax for a while.
”Good,” said Hongshan crisply
Mother Fang's steamed buns are very popular and in short supply. Good business income is naturally high. After deducting all kinds of expenses, there are more than 30% of net profits of baozi shop every month. This number is good in Shangyuan street. Fortunately, the people in Shangyuan Street know that the owner of this baozi shop is the government. No one dares to make up his mind, or there will be trouble.
Baozipu is profitable, and Yuxi naturally has a lot of slack hands. The servant girls around her are the direct beneficiaries.
Shen's mother opened her mouth and said nothing at last. She has been serving the girl for more than half a year, but she is still very wary of her. Shen's mother is not stupid. She knows what the girl is guarding against, but it's all ordered by the old lady. She can't disobey. Therefore, the girl's attitude towards her is not cold, and she can only bear it.
In winter, it's dark fast.
Hongshan watched Shen's mother leave the rose yard, then she entered the room and said to Yuxi, who was writing, ”girl, I have a few words for you.”
