Chapter 146: Make a name for her
"Concubine Xian's mother's family has a big business, and this little thing is not rare, so I won't return it, but it's disrespectful."
Concubine Hui said: "Although the things are valuable, we have already taken them out as lottery heads, how can we be embarrassed to take them back?" ”
"yes, since you lose to you, it's yours."
Everyone was a little reluctant in their hearts, but they couldn't really accept things, lest they be said to be stingy.
Jiang Guiren directly handed over the red jade beads to Su Youyi, "I don't lack these things in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, so Zhao Guiren will take them." ”
Su Youyi was also not polite, and handed it to Shuya casually.
She smiled again, "In that case, why don't you sisters exchange your beloved things for fifty taels of silver for me." These palace people are racing boats on the lake on a hot day just to entertain us, which is too pitiful. What do you think of the exchange of silver and giving them a reward for virtue and good deeds? ”
The jewelry that everyone took out was definitely more than fifty taels of silver, and when they heard Su Youyi say this, they were naturally willing to use fifty taels of silver to exchange their things back.
What's more, if you use this silver to reward the palace people, you can also gain a good name, why not?
Concubine Xian's face suddenly turned ugly.
Su Youyi wants to reward such a palace person, and explicitly said that they will work hard here on a hot day, isn't this a slap in the face?
Today's event was organized by her, she is a hedonist who doesn't care about the palace people, but Su Youyi took everyone's money to give her her own Boxian name, isn't this too cheap for her?
Concubine Xian secretly made a mistake in her heart, she knew that she would not succeed in humiliating Su Youyi, so she should not play this dragon boat race today.
Back at the Star Picking Pavilion, Su Changzai and Sima agreed that they finally couldn't help laughing.
Su Youyi glanced outside the courtyard, the eldest prince had already gone back, and there were no idle people waiting here, so it was better for them to laugh.
When the two of them finally laughed enough, Su Youyi said angrily: "Laugh, laugh, I can't hold back when you see you just in the water pavilion, it's hard for you to laugh out loud now." If Fang Cai laughed out loud, Concubine Xian was afraid that she would kill you. ”
Sima agreed to touch his neck, "Of course I knew she would kill us, so I held back my laughter." Hahaha, it's ridiculous, in the end, Concubine Xian not only lost her coral hand, but also paid fifty taels of silver to reward those palace people who raced dragon boats. She was afraid that she would not pay for it, and others would ask her for a few rounds of meanness. ”
Su Changzai covered his stomach with a smile, "Yes, yes, Jiang Guiren's face is almost green, and seeing that Concubine Xian took out an extra fifty taels of silver, she was embarrassed not to take it alone, so she also took it." I looked at the two of them before and felt that the jewelry I had taken out was the most valuable. By the time Sister Zhao took out the amber necklaces, I felt very happy when I looked at their expressions. I didn't expect this to come later, Sister Zhao, you are so powerful! ”
The two laughed, and Su Youyi was also helpless, "I didn't mean to slap them in the face, but if I don't take out that amber necklace, I can't find a suitable object on me for a while, so I can't really use the dragon pattern of the eldest prince, right?" If I lose that, the emperor will definitely trouble me. But I really like that amber necklace and I don't want to lose to others, so I paid attention to it. ”
It can be seen that she really likes that necklace, otherwise she would not wear it close to her body in a place where others can't see it.
Su Changzai nodded and said, "The rare objects rewarded by the emperor, my sister naturally has to cherish them. However, I have never seen my sister value any jewelry on weekdays, and now I feel curious when I see my sister caring so much about this necklace. ”
Su Youyi said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing, no matter how valuable other jewelry is, it is nothing more than gold, jade, pearls, and emeralds, all of which are vulgar things." This one is different, it's a life. ”
She put the amber necklace between her fingers and held it up to show them, "Do you know how amber is formed?" ”
Both of them looked dazed and shook their heads.
Su Youyi said: "I have seen in books that resins such as pine and cypress trees drip and are buried in the ground for thousands of years, and after the vicissitudes of life, amber will be formed when they are petrified. And the strange anomaly with small insects inside is very rare. It's rare to find a drop of resin falling to envelop an insect perched on a tree. What's more, this little insect is so beautiful and unique, imagining that it was wrapped in a drop of pine resin thousands of years ago, I thought it was interesting and I wanted to see it a few more times. ”
When she said this, Su Changzai and Sima agreed that they couldn't help but yearn for it, but they didn't expect Amber to have such a magical formation experience.
"Sister Zhao has read so many books, she knows everything."
Compared with the two official ladies, Su Youyi, a person from a serious civilian background, has read more books.
Sima agreed and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, it is said that Concubine Xian is the most talented and proficient in reading among the harem concubines, and I think compared to Sister Zhao, she also has to bow down." ”
Su Youyi said humbly: "There is no such thing as reading, it is mainly able to cultivate temperament, and it is just to learn a little more knowledge and chat to entertain yourself." Otherwise, what else can we do if we are bored in the palace all day long? ”
Her tone unconsciously revealed some dissatisfaction with her current life.
Sima agreed and sighed: "Yes, although I have been in the palace for so long, I still miss my father a little." If only he wasn't in the palace, the women outside could go home to visit their fathers when they got married. I had already thought that if I married a man from outside, I would marry someone who was willing to come to the door, and I would take care of my father with him. I didn't expect my father to send me to the palace......"
Su Changzai sneered, "I still want the emperor to come to your house, I really dream!" ”
Su Youyi said: "Although the emperor will not enter your house, he can still do it when he leaves the palace, and maybe you will really have the opportunity to meet your father." ”
Su Changzai couldn't help but be surprised, "Is my sister telling the truth?" It's not ours, is it? ”
Su Youyi smiled: "What are you lying to do?" The emperor himself said that in a few days he would send someone to pick us up to the imperial garden to escape the summer, and then return to the palace after this summer. The emperor is now in the palace on the outskirts of Beijing, and he will go directly to the imperial garden when the time comes. There must not be as big a garden as the rules in the palace, and your father is an official of the DPRK and China, so maybe you really have a chance to see it. ”
"It's great to see my father!"
The two talked happily, and suddenly thought of Su Youyi's parents dead, and rejoicing in front of her would inevitably break her heart.
But seeing that Su Youyi was like no one, she didn't feel hurt at all.
She wouldn't allow others to rejoice because of her own pain, and that would be unfair to others.
What's more, she can understand that Su Changzai and Sima agreed, both of them have been pampered at home since childhood, why do they naturally miss their relatives at home as soon as they enter the palace, and look forward to seeing each other.
If her father was still around, she would be as happy as they were, wouldn't she?
