Chapter 137: Tao Ranju (3)

When they moved into their new home, everyone was sure to come and congratulate them. In the afternoon, Yuru, Yujing and others came over one after another, and they all prepared gifts.

Yuru prepared a kang screen: "This is my own embroidery, I hope the fourth sister will not dislike it." "Yuxi's embroidery skills are good, this is something that everyone in the Guogong Mansion knows. It's a pity that Yuxi pursues perfection too much, and the embroidery is pitiful, only the old lady and the eldest lady have her embroidery, and the others don't have this opportunity.

Yuxi took the kang screen and said with a smile: "It's too late to like it, where will I dislike it." Yuxi also knew that she was nitpicking, but there was no way, if the embroidery didn't meet her requirements, she would rather destroy it than use it.

What Yujing sent was also embroidery, which was a seat screen. The difference is that Yuru's kang screen can be seen to be embroidered by her own at a glance, and Yujing's gift is obviously from the maid's hand. Yuxi didn't say that he didn't like it, and thanked him with a smile.

Yuchen sent a painting. Tingyun Pavilion had already been cleaned up, and at the beginning of May, Yuchen resolutely moved back to Tingyun Pavilion despite Old Madam Han's objections.

Yuxi originally thought it was Yuchen's own painting, but when he opened it, he was shocked. What Yuchen sent turned out to be Wu Daozi's "Five Saints and Thousand Officials". Yuxi hurriedly excused himself and said, "Third sister, this gift is too expensive, I can't ask for it." If the third sister really wants to give me a painting and paint it for me herself, I will like it even more. "This thing has no price! Yuxi couldn't figure out why Yuxi gave such a valuable gift.

Yuchen shook his head and said, "If the things are sent out, where is the reason to take them back." If you like my paintings, I'll send them to you another day. ”

It is definitely not good to accept such a valuable thing, but Yuchen has an expression that she will not take it back if she gives it away, and Yuxi really feels that Yuchen has a problem for her.

Yurong looked at Yuxi's embarrassed expression and felt that Yuxi was really good at pretending. This calligraphy and painting is priceless, and she wishes that Yuchen would send two more pieces, but she even pretended to be embarrassed. But thinking that since she came back from Hebei, it is normal for Yuchen to give her a few things, and she feels bad in her heart. It's the same sister, but it's a different treatment.

Yuru smiled on the side: "This is a piece of the third sister's heart, the fourth sister, you can accept it!" I still remember that she was still hot 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 lucky that the painting was not snatched on the same day.

Those thieves don't know anything about calligraphy and painting, not to mention the "Five Saints and Thousand Officials" hanging in the painting room, even the precious calligraphy and paintings in the study they don't want.

Yujing really couldn't get used to Yuxi's dilemma, and said, "Third sister, don't be hypocritical." ”

With Yuchen's gift in front, the gifts given by Yurong and Qiu Yanfu are negligible. The two of them didn't really want to give Yuxi a gift, but it was because it was not good not to give it.

After everyone sat down, the maid brought a few plates of peaches. These peaches are fragrant and attractive, with a brilliant color. Yuxi smiled and said, "This peach tastes good, you can taste it." ”

Yurong looked at these peaches and asked, "Did you buy these peaches from the fourth sister?" Everyone in the mansion knew that Yuxi had even burned down the house, where was the money to buy peaches. Peaches have just come on the market, and the price is very expensive, and the average person can't afford to eat them.

Yuxi smiled: "No, how can I have that spare money." This peach was sent by the second brother in the morning. As for whether Han Jianye bought it or got it from someone else, she doesn't know.

Yurong sneered, and knew that he would go to the big house and not look at which side he was. I don't know what my father thinks, but I don't care about it, and Yuxi goes to the big house to offer courtesy.

Yuru smiled and said, "The second brother really hurts the fourth sister." ”

Yuxi didn't seem to see everyone's different expressions, and smiled happily: "Yes, the second brother loves me very much, and he will think of me when he sees good things outside." Over the years, many of the rare things I have obtained have been bought by my second brother. ”

When Yuchen heard this, a stunned look appeared on his face.

Mama Gui didn't know at first that Yuchen was sending Wu Daozi's "Five Sages and Thousand Officials", and after knowing it, she said: "Girl, you give the fourth girl such a valuable thing, what happy event will the eldest girl and the second girl have in the future, and what should the girl give?"

Yuchen smiled: "It is impossible for them to have the joy of housewarming." "She lost her jewelry and smashed some porcelain and jade, but her fixed assets, such as the house deed and title deed and the silver ticket, are still there, so Yuchen is not broken.

Mama Gui said softly: "The girl is so good to the fourth girl. "It's a little too good, it makes people think that the third girl is slapping the fourth girl.

Yuchen said lightly: "It's just a calligraphy and painting, how can it be called good!"

Mama Gui looked at Yuxi's appearance and said, "Girl, the fourth girl looks good on weekdays, but she has a grudge against the old lady and the old man in her heart, which is an unchangeable fact. Otherwise, she should have taken Zijin and the Deng sisters to the upper room to protect the old lady that night, instead of going to the main courtyard. If the four girls had gone to the upper courtyard, there would not have been so many deaths in the upper courtyard. "Mama Gui said this in the hope that Yuchen could guard against Yuxi and not be emotional.

For such a long time, how could Yuchen not know what Mama Gui was thinking, and said softly: "Mama, go out, I want to be alone for a while." She didn't know what Mama Gui said. It's just that what position does she have to blame Yuxi for that night's incident?

After Mama Gui left, Yuchen walked to the window and looked at the swaying lotus flowers outside, her mood was unusually heavy.

During this period of time, Yuchen has been reflecting. After Yuxi found out that something was wrong, she knew that she had asked the maid to take refuge in the rockery in the garden, but what about her? She only followed Gui Mama to the upper room, leaving everyone else behind. If she had arranged the people below like Yuxi at the beginning, wouldn't those people have died? Also, Yuxi only took Zi Jin and the Deng sisters to guard the main courtyard, but she and her grandmother didn't do anything, knowing that the thieves were coming, they hid in the secret pavilion of the Buddhist hall, and didn't care about those maids and women at all. And she hid in the dark pavilion, listening to the cries of the crowd for help, but she couldn't do anything. She will never forget that feeling until she dies.

And Tong Guò's incident this time also made her see the gap between herself and Yuxi. Yes, Yuxi's appearance and talent can't compare to her, but in other aspects, she is too much worse than Yuxi.

Yuchen sometimes thinks that Yuxi is a mirror, and every time she looks in this mirror, she can find her shortcomings. It's not scary to have shortcomings, but it's scary not to 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, he asked the maid to put it in the study.

With a study room, it is much more convenient to read a book. But after reading the medical book for half an hour, Yuxi was embarrassed again. She thought of the burned "Book of Han", and also remembered the notes she had made, and six years of hard work were wasted.

The next day, Yuxi went to Qiu's and said that she wanted to go out and buy books. The books Yuxi bought before were all turned to ashes, and these Qiu clans knew about it. However, the Choo clan did not agree to Yuxi's request.

Qiu said: "It's still a little messy outside, and you can go out to buy books after a while." Seeing that Yuxi didn't agree, he said, "I'm so anxious, let your second brother buy it for you." "With what happened before, the Qiu clan has also become a frightened bird.

Yuxi responded with a smile, and said another thing: "Auntie, should you let the Deng sisters go back?" "Since the accident, the Qiu family has left the Deng family sisters behind. On weekdays, she must follow someone by her side to feel at ease, which is also the sequelae left by that night.

Qiu hesitated.

Seeing this, Yuxi adopted a compromise method: "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 ask Deng Xue to stay for a while. ”

Qiu Shi thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let their sisters go back! There are patrols in the mansion every night now, and there shouldn't be any more accidents." ”

Yuxi said with relief: "Auntie, last time it was for a reason, if there are thieves again, they will definitely have no return." "Last time, it was the prince who rebelled, and many people wanted to fish in troubled waters. Who dares to do such a thing now, that's not looking for death.

Qiu nodded and said, "You're right, there can't be anything like this again. This is not so much for Yuxi as for herself.

Yuxi knew that the Qiu clan had fallen into the shadows, and said, "Auntie, if you don't feel at ease, put two more healthy women in the yard." If something really happens, they can resist it for a while. ”

Qiu Shi saw that Yuxi said so lightly, and suddenly laughed: "It's a shame that my aunt has lived so much at such an age, and she is not as good as you, and she really lives more and more." "Yuxi is not afraid of her, but she is afraid, isn't it a joke.

Yuxi felt that it was normal for the Qiu family to be afraid: "My aunt has too many worries to let go, so she is afraid." ”

Hearing this, Qiu Shi couldn't help but pat the back of Yuxi's head: "What are these words? ”

Yuxi smiled lightly, not all explaining. Speaking of which, there is really nothing in the Guogong Mansion that can worry about her.

Qiu's heart choked, but she couldn't say anything better. simply turned his head and ordered Liu Yue: "Go and call the two sisters Deng Shuang and Deng Xue." ”

The Deng Shuang sisters knew that the Qiu family was going to let them go, and both of them were relieved. They eat well, live well, and dress well in the Guogong Mansion, but they are not at ease. But the Duchess of Guo did not propose to let them go back, and they did not take the initiative to ask to leave. The employer didn't say that the contract was completed, so how could they take the initiative to terminate the contract.

Qiu is a very generous person, knowing that Deng Shuang is going to get married, not only sent materials and jewelry, but also gave two people 100 acres of fertile land as a dowry, which is much more affordable than silver.

The Deng Shuang sisters got these things, and they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. The fertile fields around the capital are really things that money can't buy. The sister took the reward and went back happily. This errand is really worth it.

Yuxi said: "Auntie, it's good to give each of them a thousand taels of silver, why do you want to send good fields?"

Qiu said with a smile: "The prince rebelled and implicated many families. Those who have a little family background will take this opportunity to buy property. "Those who were implicated in the rebellion case have their properties to be sold. Qiu's is still very discerning, and during this time, he bought a shop and a field.

Yuxi hurriedly said: "Auntie, I still have more than three thousand taels of silver on hand, do you think you can buy another small shop?" Although Yuxi has two or three thousand taels of silver every year, her expenses are also very large, and she has only saved more than three thousand taels of silver so far.

Qiu Shi smiled, took a small box from Li's mother and handed it to Yuxi. Yuxi didn't need to look at it to know what this thing was, shook his head and said, "Auntie, I can't ask for this thing." ”

Qiu put the small box in Yuxi's hand and said, "This is the dowry that your aunt prepared for you, and now it's just for you in advance." ”

Yuxi doesn't want to live or die.

Mother Li smiled and said, "Fourth girl, this is specially purchased for you by Mrs., if you don't take it, it will be in vain for Mrs. to work hard." "In the past, Qiu's subsidy to Yuxi, Li's mother would say two words. I'm afraid that I'll be too generous to things, and I'm afraid that Yuxi will have to make inches. But now, Li's mother doesn't have a word. Compared to what Yuxi did before, this is really nothing.

In desperation, Yuxi could only take this small box.

Mother Li and Qiu's said: "The temperament of the fourth girl 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 big credit, the four girls not only did not take credit but seemed to forget about it, which made Li's mother admire it very much.

Qiu nodded and said, "Yes! thanks to Yuxi." "If it weren't for Yuxi, she would definitely be like the old lady, and the belongings in the yard would have been looted. If so, where would she have the money to buy a farm shop!

Mother Li said with a smile: "This is also the kindness of Madame." "If the Qiu clan hadn't treated the four girls as their own daughters, the four girls would not have come to the main courtyard to protect their madams regardless of the danger, and they would definitely hide under the rockery like her maids.

Qiu Shi very much agrees with this sentence: "In life, there are still many blessings." "Only by accumulating blessings can we be blessed.

Back in Taoranju, Yuxi gave the box to Zisu.

Zi Su is a money fan, and she loves money more than Yuxi, otherwise in such a dangerous situation at that time, she would not forget to ask the maid of the Rose Courtyard to snatch the jewelry out. Shisu opened the box, looked at the contents inside, and said happily: "Girl, Mrs. gave a shop on East Street, plus 1,000 acres of fertile land. "These two things are much more valuable than the industry on hand in Yuxi.

Since it was said to be a dowry for her, Yuxi didn't need to look at it to know that it was a shop and a field. Only these industries are the most affordable. Yuxi said: "Since the eldest aunt gave it, you can put it away!"

Zi Su happily put these things away and said to Yuxi: "Girl, the property in your hand plus the dowry given by the government in the future, we don't have to worry about money in the future." At that time, Yuxi gave five hundred taels of silver every year for Zi Jin to learn art, and Shi Su's hair was almost white.

Yuxi didn't respond to this sentence. If there is no bad cuò, 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: Good night, dear friends, have a good dream.
