Ms. Zhang held the dagger in her hand for a long time and looked at it, already unable to put it down. She had never seen any decent treasure in the many years since she married into the Baolinghou Mansion. Today was an eye-opener.
It can be said that there were some good things in Baolinghou Mansion at first, but later they disappeared for some unknown reason.
This was a confusing account, but Shi Nai, who knew the inside story, was tight-lipped about it.
Zhang looked at the dagger for a while and then remembered the main purpose of Shi Nai's visit to Rongguo Mansion this time, so she asked: "What exactly did the old lady in Rongguo Mansion arrange for you? Please explain clearly."
Shi Nai sat there holding tea and said proudly: "When the old lady heard that I was coming, she called the eldest brother of their house over on the spot and asked him to accompany me to have wine. After that, the nephew personally promised
He asked me to go to Yangzhou to be the prefect. I thought there would be news in ten days and a half, so I asked me to prepare at home so that I could take office as soon as possible."
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she said "Ah" in surprise. Although she thought that Jia Ke would arrange an official position for Shi Nai, she never expected that Shi Nai would be assigned to Yangzhou to be the prefect. This is the best thing in the world.
The biggest fat difference.
Moreover, going there can be regarded as a local official, unlike in the capital where there are restrictions on both sides.
Mrs. Zhang was so excited that she didn't know what to do. She didn't care about etiquette. She stepped forward and grabbed Shi Nai's arm and asked, "This is true. There won't be any mistakes in the process, right?"
"Don't worry, my eldest nephew is also the Minister of Military Aircraft after all. He can't handle such a trivial matter. You should quickly send this dagger to Xiangyun, and then direct the family to pack things, what should be brought and what should not be brought.
Take it and be aware of it."
In Shi Nai's mind, he never considered whether this matter could be accomplished. Although he was not in the court, he knew a thing or two about the affairs in the court. With Jia Ke's current energy, it was not easy for him to become the prefect of Yangzhou.
Shi Nai suddenly remembered something again, "From now on, don't let Xiangyun do those jobs anymore, and her future food and clothing expenses will be the same as yours. Coax her well and don't let her choose."
Come as a gift."
Mrs. Zhang is also smiling now: "You don't need to ask me, I'm not a fool. I'll tell you in a moment. From now on, our Xiangyun family won't have to do anything. We just need to sit in the house and wait for marriage every day."
.”
However, Mrs. Zhang asked hesitantly: "Our Xiangyun is only eleven or twelve years old. Isn't it a bit impatient to marry her like this?"
After hearing this, Shi Nai said nonchalantly: "Are there not many women who get married at the age of eleven or twelve? Besides, the old lady over there also told me. If you are anxious in the future, let Xiangyun marry first. As long as it is
If they don’t consummate the marriage, nothing will happen.”
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she nodded. Now that I have said it, there are many people who get married and have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen, but Shi Xiangyun is still young after all, so he has to stay for a year or two. Otherwise, this matter will spread.
, their house is even more shameless.
"We in Xiangyun are still blessed with good fortune. After this has passed, we will enjoy endless prosperity and wealth. We can be considered worthy of her deceased parents."
After listening to Mrs. Zhang's words, Shi Nai nodded and said, "Xiangyun is indeed a talented person. From now on, you should be more polite to her, otherwise it will be difficult to talk to her when we meet in the future."
Shi Nai now has some understanding of the court situation. Looking at Jia Ke's current state, he is afraid that he and the emperor will have a dispute in the end. If he wins, the future is limitless.
If it is true as he thinks, then their Xiangyun family may also be the master of the harem in the future.
In the past, Mrs. Zhang's attitude towards Xiangyun was not very good. Now she needs to change her attitude quickly. Even if it cannot completely win back Shi Xiangyun's heart, it can also make her feel relieved. Otherwise, when Xiangyun becomes prosperous in the future, it may be difficult to talk to her again.
Mrs. Zhang didn't think so much. She just thought that Jiang Yun was now Jia Ke's concubine. Her family would not be safe in the future, and she would have to rely on him to blow Jia Ke's pillow. Being nice to her now was also for the future.
Use her.
"Don't worry, sir. I'm not a ungrateful person. From now on, I will really treat her as my aunt. What do you think?"
Shi Nai nodded and then yawned. Although he rested for a while in Jia's house, he still felt that the drunkenness had not passed.
"I'm going to sleep for a while. I drank a little too much at noon today, and I still feel a headache." After Shi Nai finished speaking, he went up to the bedroom.
Mrs. Zhang quickly told the maids from behind to take good care of Shi Nai and don't let him catch a cold while sleeping.
After Mrs. Zhang arranged everything, she continued to watch with the dagger. Several maids nearby also looked at it in wonder.
Some of the jewelry on this dagger have never been seen before, such as the diamond on the handle, which has always been rare in the Central Plains. Now this diamond is set at the end of the handle, and as long as it shakes
It feels dazzling right away and makes people unable to put it down.
Mrs. Zhang sighed regretfully. She was going to give this good treasure to that girl Shi Xiangyun. Now that she thought about it, she was still a little reluctant. However, this was a token given to Shi Xiangyun from the Rongguo Mansion, and she could not keep it privately.
After a while, Mrs. Zhang took the dagger and walked to Xiangyun's small courtyard with a few maids.
As soon as Mrs. Zhang arrived at the small courtyard where Shi Xiangyun lived, Cui Lu, who was at the door of the courtyard, noticed her arrival. He quickly went up to salute her and said loudly: "Madam, you are here. Come and sit inside. Our lady
Currently busy."
Mrs. Zhang looked at this little girl and wanted to laugh in her heart. Although this little girl said she was loyal to protect her master, her brain was really not working well. Now everyone knew that her master was lazy inside.
Mrs. Zhang didn't want to embarrass Shi Xiangyun, after all, the rich and powerful people in the house were pointing at her now. So she stood at the door and asked Cuixi as if nothing had happened, "How have you, young lady, slept in the past two days? Did you eat well?"
Cuixi was confused by her question. This lady has never cared about their young lady so much. What's wrong? Maybe something is abnormal.
Mrs. Zhang looked at the confused Cuixi, raised her voice and said, "What's going on? Why don't you speak?"
Only then did Cuixi react, and her face turned red immediately. The people next to her must have seen her embarrassment just now, it was really embarrassing, "Madam, everything is fine for our lady these days, and she has eaten a lot.
She doesn’t sleep much, so she often takes a supplement during the day. Don’t blame her.”
While they were talking, Shi Xiangyun came out of the room. She walked lightly in front of Mr. Zhang, gave him a blessing, and then said: "Xiangyun has given me a gift to my aunt. I wish my aunt ten thousand blessings."
install."
Mrs. Zhang quickly stepped forward to support her and said with a smile: "We are all members of our own family. Don't bow to her as soon as you meet her. It's easy for others to see you outside."
Shi Xiangyun did not take her words seriously, but just led the way and led Mrs. Zhang into his room.
Mrs. Zhang entered Shi Xiangyun's room and saw that the bed was covered with various patterns. It looked like she was busy working. However, the quilts next to her were piled up casually. It seemed that they had not had time to tidy up and put them away.
of.
Mrs. Zhang would have started scolding Shi Xiangyun before, but today she didn't seem to notice. She found a place beside Xiangyun's bed, pushed the pattern on the bed to the side and sat down.
Shi Xiangyun came into the room and saw Zhang's eyes sweeping over her quilt, and his face felt a little hot.
In order to relieve the embarrassment, Shi Xiangyun quickly went to the table and poured a cup of tea for Zhang, and then handed it to Zhang respectfully.
Zhang took the tea with a smile, then took Shi Xiangyun's hand and asked her to sit next to her.
Shi Xiangyun sat next to Zhang, feeling a little uneasy. She had been aware of the rumors in the past few days, and this morning her uncle went to Rongguo Mansion. Now that she came back, she thought there was news from Rongguo Mansion.
.
Mrs. Zhang sat there holding Shi Xiangyun's hand, chatting with her, and began to talk about home affairs. She talked about how difficult the family was and how difficult it was for her to maintain the family.
Shi Xiangyun saw Mrs. Zhang not talking about the topic for a long time, and she felt a little impatient. But she couldn't be rude, so she asked tactfully: "Auntie, is there something wrong when you come here this time?"
Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a long time and was a little embarrassed to speak. After all, it sounded like she had found a family for Shi Xiangyun, but in fact she still exchanged Shi Xiangyun for Shi Nai's official position.
Shi Xiangyun didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he asked: "Is it because my marriage has been settled?"
After hearing what Xiangyun said, Mrs. Zhang knew that she had heard about it, so she no longer concealed it: "Xiangyun, you are really lucky. The person you are going to marry in the future will be rich and powerful, and everyone in the world will envy you.
You can live a good life for a few days if you follow me."
After hearing what he said, Shi Xiangyun said expressionlessly: "In that case, it's better to let my sister marry me instead. For such a good thing, I should keep my sister close to me first."
After hearing this, Ms. Zhang felt a little embarrassed immediately. She quickly explained: "Your sister is still young and it's not her time yet. Besides, there is an order of elders and younger ones. How can you get her turn if you don't leave the cabinet?"
After Mrs. Zhang finished saying this, she glanced at Shi Xiangyun and saw that she was sitting there silently. So she let go and said: "This time your uncle has found you the uncle of Rongguo Mansion. This is not ordinary.
Although I was a concubine in the past, I will enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life."
When Shi Xiangyun heard this, he felt a burst of sadness. What could he do as a fatherless and motherless child who refused to listen to his uncle? He hoped that after marrying to the Rongguo Mansion, the old lady would be able to do more for the sake of her natal family.
Help me a little and make myself feel better.
Mrs. Zhang saw Shi Xiangyun shedding tears silently, but never said anything to refute, knowing that although she was unwilling, she had already acquiesced to the marriage.
