Chapter 82: The Old Lady of the Ruined Hou Mansion (16)
Inside the east wing of the Waira Temple
Xiao Shi was massaging Wen Qilian, and while pressing, he smiled: "Hasn't Lang Jun been complaining about not being able to go out these days?" Today, it is rare for my mother-in-law to take you out of the door, why are you still sad, I heard that my mother-in-law pushed you for more than ten miles, why did my mother-in-law look energetic, but it was your tired and sad face that was sitting? ”
"You know what, it's a rough road.
Along the way, my bones were almost scattered, and my mother is really, and there is no sedan chair and carriage at home......" Wen Qilian was just saying, and suddenly there was a voice from Butler Min outside the house, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped talking.
"Steward Min, what's the matter at such a late hour?"
Xiao Shi didn't dare to speak anymore when he saw that she was so frightened, and hurriedly chuckled and asked across the room.
"Master Hou, I will send you something on the order of the old lady, and the old lady said, this thing is your hard work today and in the past.
Don't know if you want to send it in? ”
Steward Min didn't know what was in the box, but he was just ordered to send it over, and he wasn't curious about it.
Wen Qi even understood now that this was the manpower buyout fee given by his mother: "Then send it in, just find a place to put it." ”
Butler Min outside heard the permission, so he asked another servant on the side to push open the door, he walked in with a dead box, put it in a corner of the room with great difficulty, and then hurriedly bowed and left.
"It's so strange, what did you do when you went out with your mother today, why did your mother reward you?
Can I take a look? ”
Xiao asked curiously, and at the same time kept staring at the box.
Wen Qilian nodded: "If you want to see it, you can watch it, I don't know what my mother sent over." ”
As he was talking, Xiao Shi, who had already opened the box on the other side, screamed, I have to say, such a large delicate cornucopia of pure gold, with a pot full of gold ingots and jewels and jade, is still quite bright and blind.
"My God, Xianggong, there are so many gold, gems, pearls, and even Dongzhu, how could my mother suddenly give you so many good things?"
Xiao Shi was surprised and excited to keep touching the jewels in the cornucopia, and was pleasantly surprised by the quail-egg-sized Dongzhu and fist-sized gems and jade inside, but he quickly calmed down and began to wonder how her mother-in-law could suddenly give such a big gift.
"Really, help me to see!"
Wen Qilian didn't even look depressed just now, and the whole person suddenly became energetic, and he was very excited to stand up, wanting to quickly see what was in the box.
Xiao Shi knew his temperament, so it was not strange, but quickly walked away from the box, helped Wen Qilian to the wheelchair, and pushed it to the side of the box.
"There are a lot of things, shouldn't that basin in here also be golden, lady, if you bite into it, this surprise of my mother is too big."
I'm so happy! ”
I have to say that people with weaknesses and hobbies are really easy to deal with, as long as you get their weaknesses and hobbies right and give them something.
"Look at your wealth fan, just now Steward Min's hard look, this pot will not be fake, not to mention that my mother has sent so many good things over, and I can give you a fake pot, the workmanship of this pot is really exquisite, it seems to be made according to the shape of a cornucopia, I think we can stay as an heirloom, and the jewelry and gold in it can also be taken out to make some jewelry for the daughter to keep at the bottom of the box, or keep it for the son as a dowry.
Yes, yes, that's it.
Do you agree or disagree? ”
Although Xiao has obtained the key to the public treasury again, and the jewelry has been handed down, but the jewelry copied from the hands of those slaves is really not good enough to take the table, these days, the real good jewelry is not easy to get, but many of the jewels in this cornucopia are better than the enterprising, such a good thing is a waste to hide, it is better to make jewelry for his son and daughter as a dowry, especially those buckets of Dongzhu, the service life of Dongzhu is only less than a hundred years, The glamorous years are only about fifty years, and if you don't hurry up and make them into jewelry, you can't let those Dongzhu turn yellow. The so-called old pearl yellow means that pearls are like beauties, and the days of being young and beautiful are very short.
"You've decided to ask me what to do, that's it, so be it, but this golden basin has to be kept for me, and it has to be put in my private vault, and I feel comfortable looking at this thing."
Although Wen Qilian was a little reluctant, but in the end it was for his daughter, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only pinch his nose and endure it, and at the same time he was a little lucky, glad that he didn't find so many concubines, and only gave birth to two children.
"Got it, forget it, I guess you're not in the mood to talk to me more now, these things will be put here for you to enjoy overnight, and I'll come over tomorrow to get those pearls and jades here, so that I can send people to play jewelry, they have reached the age of looking at each other, you have to hurry up, otherwise maybe it will be too late to make some exquisite jewelry!"
Xiao has been a husband and wife with Wen Qilian for more than 20 years, how can he not know what kind of character he is, at this time, looking at his golden eyes, I don't know that there is nothing to talk about if I continue to stay here, this will probably put all his thoughts on this cornucopia and the jewels in the basin, so it is very refreshing to leave directly.
Wen Qi didn't even care, he was now holding the cornucopia and smirking, and from time to time he grabbed a handful of Dongzhu from it and laughed.
It was a lot of fun.
……
Three days later, Qiao Mu prepared the psychological test questions to be prepared, and called Steward Min and her son over, Steward Min's side of the matter is very good, that is, to give him the test questions directly, let him take the test questions to the previous expatriate village to test them, and wait until they finish the test, just bring the paper back, this is not difficult, three or two sentences will explain it clearly.
After Steward Min left, Qiao Mu said:
"Jiangbei and Gannan should know about the disaster this year, the flood is monstrous, although those two places are not as good as Jiangnan, but the grain output can also occupy a certain share of the domestic grain output, so, this is a big disaster, fortunately, our family's large and small farms are not in those two places.
Our family was in the limelight some time ago, this time it was the time to pretend to be poor, and when you looked back and looked at some things that were not needed at home, they were sold at a low price, and then after two days, when the emperor said that the treasury was empty, and let donations for disaster relief, you would just deal with the money from the sale at a low price and add a little more, just put together a whole and hand it over. ”
