"Mom, look, what is this?" Dong Yuzhen took a letter and ran into Mrs. Lin's house in surprise.
"What are you so worried about?" Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter lovingly. She was sad about her son and daughter, but she saw her running over with a happy face.
"Mother, please read the letter sent by sister Xiaozhu." Dong Yuzhen handed the letter to Mrs. Lin.
"Is this true?!" Mrs. Lin opened her mouth in disbelief. How could it be possible? Then she had been running around in the Lin family these days and received so many cold looks. She had already lost confidence. But she found that the surprise came too suddenly.
.
Mrs. Lin looked at the few lines of words on the thin piece of paper in her hand. She was so excited that her hands were trembling. "That's great." Her voice was trembling, "Zhen'er, you and your brother can both go.
." The things she had been asking for for a long time in the Lin Mansion to no avail were all resolved today. How could she not be excited?
"Mom, you don't have to go to my grandfather's house this time." Dong Yuzhen also knew that her mother went to her grandfather's house for herself and her brother and was left out in the cold. In the past, she didn't dare to comfort her because she was afraid that her mother would be sad. If her wish comes true, these words
I can also say it clearly.
"Well, I won't go." Mrs. Lin suddenly felt that her eyes were wet, and she was embarrassed to cry in front of Dong Yuzhen, so she could only turn around and wipe them dry quickly with a handkerchief.
She couldn't thank Lin Zhu enough in her heart, "Zhen'er, Xiaozhu is really your lucky star." Mrs. Lin said with emotion.
"I know." Dong Yuzhen nodded. In fact, according to her original intention, it didn't matter whether she went to the garden party or not. It was good to be able to go and see the world, but it didn't matter if she couldn't go. She just wanted Dong Wenbo to go.
I heard that many young talents will definitely participate. It is a good opportunity for Dong Wenbo to expand his network. Although studying is important, it is also very necessary to get to know more people.
"It's good that you know this. Don't tell anyone. I will tell your brother about it." After the excitement, Mrs. Lin solemnly explained to Dong Yuzhen.
Dong Jisheng came to her a few days ago and tentatively asked Dong Yuzhen and Dong Wenbo if they could go to the garden party. She was complaining about her parents' failure to help her, so she didn't pay attention to Dong Jisheng's purpose.
But within two days, I suddenly discovered that Mrs. Liu had prepared clothes and jewelry for Dong Yuyao with great fanfare. It was said that the money was used by the public. However, she did not arrange it for Dong Yuzhen, and said that it was a waste to make it for her.
Only then did Mrs. Lin understand that Dong Jisheng had quietly given Dong Yuyao the opportunity to go to the garden party. If Dong Yuzhen hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to go straight to Dong Jisheng's study and question him face to face.
Now Lin Zhu's letter makes her feel proud, and she will be favored by them when the time comes.
Mrs. Lin was busy preparing clothes and jewelry for Dong Yuzhen and Dong Wenbo to go to the garden party. Of course, she paid a large sum of money from her husband for the reason that she could not treat one favorably. Mrs. Liu was so angry that she could not retaliate. Dong Jisheng also acquiesced because of the injustice.
This is what Mrs. Lin did.
Lin Zhu didn't know what to prepare for the garden party, so he wrote to Aunt Chang specifically to ask.
When Aunt Chang heard that she had received the invitation, she was shocked at first. After reading the letter, she understood and felt that this was a rare opportunity. She specifically asked General Chang for a few days' leave and ran to Lin Zhu's house to help her.
When dressing up, the most important thing is to buy some suitable clothing materials and jewelry.
Although General Chang didn't know where Lin Zhu got the invitation, he still sent some things to Aunt Chang to take with her. They were all expensive clothes and materials, which were rewarded by the palace, but there was no hostess in the general's mansion.
There has been no use for it, so Lin Zhu took advantage of it.
When Aunt Chang came to the door with things in a hurry, Dong Yuzhen also came to thank Lin Zhu. So Dong Yuzhen once again got Lin Zhu's favor.
Aunt Chang made clothes for each of them using the materials given by the palace. She also took them to the most famous Ruiyuan Building in the capital to choose jewelry.
When they arrived at Ruiyuan Building in Lin Zhu's carriage, they found several carriages parked at the door.
It seems that the impact of this garden party is really big, Lin Zhu sighed while sitting on the carriage.
Aunt Chang took the two of them into Ruiyuan Building, and a young boy came to greet them immediately.
"What jewelry would you like to choose?" the young man asked politely.
"Let's take a look at some jade and gold jewelry." When you come to this place, you can't let the young man look down on you. Although Lin Zhu intends to pick some silver jewelry back, he can't say it outright. So Aunt Chang has the final say in everything.
The store in Ruiyuan Building is very large, with three floors in total, and each room has four or five rooms. And at first glance, you can tell that it is a wealthy one. The decorations in the store are all top-notch. The first floor is full of silver jewelry.
Even if it is silver jewelry, the items in Ruiyuan Building are the most expensive. They are superior to those sold outside in terms of workmanship and style. Therefore, many people come here to buy jewelry.
The boy took them to the second floor first. Not to mention the gold jewelry, there were a lot fewer people there, and it was not as noisy as the first floor.
The young boy didn't know how rich Lin Zhu and others were, but since they wanted to see gold and jade ornaments, he couldn't stop them, so he had to lead them to the hall on the second floor first.
"Sir, there are all gold jewelry here, you can choose whatever you want." The boy pointed at the counter and said.
"Thank you." Aunt Chang casually rewarded the young man with a silver crown.
After the boy took it and looked at it clearly, he was secretly happy. Although guides like them often receive money as rewards from others, most of them are just a few pennies. Unexpectedly, they don't look like rich people.
But so generous.
The boy also reciprocated the favor, telling Lin Zhu and the others that the jewelry in the two rooms, one and two, was the best.
Lin Zhu and others smiled slightly and thanked the young man. They were not in a hurry and took a casual look first. Lin Zhu planned not only to use it for himself, but now there were more people in the family, and some people had done very well, so he wanted to reward him.
It shouldn’t be too thin, so be prepared to buy more gold jewelry if you see suitable ones.
Aunt Chang and Dong Yuzhen both knew what Lin Zhu was thinking, so they watched in the hall on the second floor.
There is no shopkeeper on the second floor, but he is a big boy, with a much higher status than the little boy who led the way just now. He is a well-rounded person. He just glanced at the scene of Aunt Chang rewarding the little boy with his eyes, so he did not treat them lightly.
.
"Aunt Chang, Sister Zhen, and Xiaocao's marriage should be about the same. It should be fine when Uncle Zhao and the others come over. You guys can see which one is suitable and add a box to her when the time comes." Lin Zhu looked at the gold jewelry in front of him, what?
Bracelets, hairpins, earrings, etc. are arranged neatly, which makes it look a bit dazzling.
"Miss Xiaocao is lucky." Aunt Chang said with a smile. This is the benefit of being by the master's side and having the favor of the master. The dowry is probably much larger than that of someone in the village.
"Uncle Zhao looks after the Zhuyuan side for me. It's very hard, and you have to be proud of it." Lin Zhu said softly. There are many people left in the Zhuyuan side, and it is necessary to help Zhao establish his prestige.
"Then give me a pair of gold bracelets." Dong Yuzhen followed Mrs. Lin and learned some housekeeping skills, so she naturally understood Lin Zhu's intention of doing this.
Lin Zhu and Aunt Chang nodded in unison after hearing this. There was another reason that Lin Zhu didn't mention. Mu Feng was a popular person around Mu Qiyue and would definitely give him a lot of things. Lin Zhu couldn't let Zhao Xiaocao marry him.
Being looked down upon by others. After all, he is the one who goes out in her family.
"This is a good pair." Aunt Chang said, pointing to a pair of bracelets carved with lotus and fish patterns. "It's a good idea."
Lin Zhu and Dong Yuzhen both saw it and thought it was good.
"Wrap it up for me." Lin Zhu said to the waiter.
Before Lin Zhu could continue speaking, a delicate female voice came from behind them.
"Hey, sister, you're here to pick out jewelry too." She was someone Dong Yuzhen was very familiar with, and Lin Zhu had also dealt with her.
After a while, I turned around and saw that it was Dong Yuyao, Dong Yuzhen's younger sister. However, there were a few unknown people around her. Judging from their dress, they must also be officials.
"You're here." When Dong Yuzhen saw her, she was not very interested and just nodded slightly. The people around her didn't even recognize her.
On the contrary to Dong Yuzhen, Dong Yuyao was in high spirits. She said to a lady beside her, "Miss Qi, this is my sister. I heard that she was visiting friends this morning, but I didn't want to see her there."
We met here."
"Sister, this is the eldest lady of the Qi family of the Minister of War's family." Dong Yuyao's eyes were full of pride, "Today we made an appointment to look at the jewelry."
"I've met Miss Qi." Dong Yuzhen greeted Miss Qi, but Miss Qi did not return the gift.
Aunt Chang and Lin Zhu frowned slightly after seeing it.
"Well," Miss Qi snorted from her nose and said to Dong Yuyao, "I've heard you tell me about a sister a long time ago. I just got to meet her today, but that's all."
Dong Yuzhen stood there and blushed with shame and anger.
Because the Secretary of the Ministry of War had fallen, many positions in the Ministry of War were vacant. Dong Jisheng somehow got the favor of the Qi family and promoted him to the fifth rank of Yuanwailang.
This position had nothing to do with the Lin family, so Dong Jisheng looked down upon Mrs. Lin, mother and son, while Mr. Liu had established a good relationship with Mrs. Qi's family. So Dong Yuyao followed closely behind Miss Qi's family.
After these words, the fool also knew that Dong Yuyao was deliberately making things difficult for Dong Yuzhen. So the scene was a bit stiff.
"Man, wrap up this, this, this, and this all for me." Lin Zhu said to the man with a serious face.
Although the background of Ruiyuan Building is very deep, I don’t want some ladies to have quarrels here. After all, peace can make money. After hearing Lin Zhu’s words, the clerk also reacted. When he looked at the things Lin Zhu chose, he was happy.
A sum of two to three hundred taels of silver cannot escape. "Okay, please wait a moment." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.
