Chapter 468: Will the Cheng family give our Yan Mansion a horizontal sword or a hard bow? (Please subscribe and vote)
Changsun Wuji returned to Zhao Guogong's Mansion with a tired look on his face, and was ordered to go to Luoyang to do some business. He had just returned to Chang'an.
Even though he was traveling all the way, he was still very tired.
After returning to the mansion and sitting in the hall, he didn't see any maid coming to fill himself with tea soup, so he couldn't help but frowned unhappily.
At this moment, he saw his wife walking into the hall from outside the hall, carrying a tea bowl.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but his expression softened, he stood up and took the tea bowl. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly let out a light sigh and couldn't help but shrug his nose several times.
The wife, whose charm was still there, couldn't help her pretty face, and glanced at her husband.
Seeing this, Changsun Wuji's heart trembled, and he smiled subconsciously. "My wife has changed into a new sachet today, eh..."
Changsun Wuji looked down and was shocked to find that his wife did not have a sachet tied around her waist.
He saw his wife's pretty face blushing slightly, and she tactfully combed the hair hanging down by her cheeks with her fingers and whispered.
"I have just washed myself. Where did you get the sachet? Husband, does it smell good?"
"Of course it smells good, otherwise my husband wouldn't have asked that question."
Changsun Wuji smiled and took a sip of tea, but his eyes were still reluctant to leave his wife.
"Yesterday I went to the palace for the Summer Solstice Banquet, and Empress Meng gave me a strange thing..." The wife smiled sweetly and took out a small porcelain vase from her arms.
Then he uncorked the bottle and put it in front of Changsun Wuji's nose.
The intoxicating aroma suddenly hit his nose and brain, making Changsun Wuji's eyes light up.
"It is indeed a good thing. I don't know where the empress got the treasure as a tribute.
If the lady likes it, she can go to the palace for her husband another day and ask the lady for more..."
Before he finished speaking, Changsun Wuji saw his wife looking at him, hesitating to speak, and he couldn't help but be startled.
"what happened?"
"Thank you very much, husband, but... husband, do you know that this treasure is not a tribute from a foreign country, but comes from the hands of Cheng Sanlang of Duke Lu's mansion."
The smile on Changsun Wuji's face suddenly froze, and his eyes stared blankly at the treasure in his hand.
After a long while, Changsun Wuji pursed his lips and forced out a smile with some difficulty. "Is that Cheng Laosan?"
I saw my wife's expression looked a little strange, she nodded slightly and said, "Yesterday, I heard many ladies asking about Mrs. Cui."
"Ms. Cui said it herself, and the empress also specially asked Mrs. Cui to say a lot of things. I think it's true."
Having said this, the wife looked at the bottle of moisturizing cream with a somewhat sad expression, as if it was her only hope left.
Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and pursed his lips for a long time. "It doesn't matter. Since my wife likes it, how can my husband not get this thing..."
"Besides, although my husband despises Cheng Laosan's character, he's not that kind... don't worry..."
Seeing that her husband hesitated for a long time, but finally gave her the answer, the mistress of the eldest grandson's family was heartbroken.
She took the porcelain vase from her husband's hand and hid it close to her body as if holding a treasure.
Changsun Wuji took a deep breath. At this moment, he really had countless things to say but had nowhere to talk to...
#####
Mrs. Wen was in the backyard, leaning lazily on the waterside pavilion, looking at the weeping willows in the pavilion and the ice basin in the waterside pavilion, which could only relieve the summer heat a little.
The bored Wen couldn't help but think of the little sisters' gathering a few days ago. During the gathering, the most talked about thing was the Summer Solstice Banquet.
At the Summer Solstice Banquet, the soap and moisturizing cream distributed by the Queen to the ladies of the princes and nobles had completely made the ladies of Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty jealous.
Especially the mother of one of the little sisters was the lady who was going to the summer solstice banquet that day.
So that day, she proudly took a bottle of moisturizing cream to show off. Wen still remembered that she also took two drops and applied it on her face for the whole night.
Mrs. Wen feels that her face is so supple and supple, and even her husband says that his face smells good.
Sigh... It's a pity that my husband is not a high-ranking official. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to attend the Summer Solstice Banquet. I really don't know where I can buy those things...
Just as Mr. Wen was thinking wildly in the waterside pavilion, the housekeeper of the Yan Mansion was walking over quickly.
"Madam, madam..."
"What's the matter, are you in such a panic?" Mrs. Wen had to sit up straight and asked the housekeeper who had already arrived at the door of Shui Pavilion.
"There is a man at the door of Madam's house, saying he is the housekeeper of Duke Lu's house." The housekeeper wiped away the fine sweat from the hot summer day and reported.
As soon as she heard the words Duke Lu's Mansion, the delicate and gentle Wen's face darkened immediately, and she was about to tell the housekeeper to send that person away in displeasure.
Then I heard the butler continue to say, "He said that he came here specially to deliver gifts to the master on the orders of Mr. Cheng, the Third Master of Duke Lu's Mansion."
"Giving a gift? To the master..." Mrs. Wen was a little confused, and the thought of her husband almost made the bunch of vulgar warriors from the old Cheng family so angry.
The uncle Yan Lide was also harmed physically and mentally by the old Cheng family, and Mrs. Wen snorted unhappily.
"What can the old Cheng family give us? Are they going to give our master a horizontal sword or a hard bow?"
Hearing this complaint full of resentment, the housekeeper almost laughed out loud, but managed to hold it back and spoke in a low voice.
"I said I was sending soap and thermal cream to the master to thank him for the masterpieces he sent me before..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Wen, who had already regained her laziness, and was leaning on the couch, suddenly stood up energetically and quickly came to the door of the waterside pavilion.
"What did you give me? Say it again."
Seeing the rare sharp gaze of his mistress, the housekeeper hurriedly buried his head with palpitations and stammered and repeated the story.
"Hurry, go quickly... go and receive him in person. You must not lose the etiquette of our Yan Mansion in front of the steward of Duke Lu's Mansion."
"Also, the gift, um, after receiving the gift, send it over here as soon as possible."
"ah?"
"Ah what, why don't you go quickly?"
"Okay, I obey, I will do it now."
The bewildered housekeeper of Yan Mansion saw that the hostess was obviously very angry, so he quickly agreed and ran out crawling.
In the following time, Mrs. Wen could sit still. From time to time, she walked to the door, looked into the distance, then returned to the waterside pavilion, and then walked out again...
All the maids and servants of the Yan Mansion looked at the apparently arrogant hostess walking in circles in the pavilion with strange expressions.
Fortunately, Mrs. Wen didn't have to wait too long. The housekeeper of the Yan Mansion came quickly, holding a small but very elegant wooden box in his hand.
Wen couldn't wait to open the lid of the box and saw four beautiful lacquered wooden boxes neatly arranged inside, as well as four bottles that were exactly the same as the porcelain bottles that the little sisters took out to show off that day. Her originally expectant expression instantly turned into
surprise.
