Chapter 247
Mu Yun took the silver notes handed over by Wen Tingzhou, looked at the money below, and counted it. There were more than 8,000 taels of silver in total, and he was a little confused for a moment.
At this moment, the year-end red seal in Wen Tingzhou's yamen had already been sent, so he asked, "Where did you get the money you have?" She was not worried that Wen Tingzhou would take the money she shouldn't have. She was not short of money, so he couldn't make it. It was just that the money was not a small amount, so it would be better to understand the way it came.
Wen Tingzhou knew that she was worried, so he comforted her: "Don't worry, I helped that person handle some things, and that person rewarded her."
When he said this, Mu Yun guessed it, it should have been rewarded by His Royal Highness the newly released Prince.
She chuckled and said, "This master is generous." Then Mu Yun said, "Although the enthronement ceremony of His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess is scheduled for the coming year, the gifts should be prepared. But I am not sure about this measure. Today I have prepared a list. After dinner, you can help me take a look and give me some advice."
There are many things to do this year. Although King Jin has already given him the title of crown prince, he must be responsible for the sacrifice ceremony of heaven instead of the current emperor, and the emperor has also asked him to manage the government affairs in the court recently. After the title, the family will move to the East Palace to live. No matter how you look at the time before the New Year, the enthronement ceremony of the crown prince and the crown princess was scheduled for the Lantern Festival next year.
Wen Tingzhou nodded and agreed after hearing Mu Yun's words. Just now, the maid had prepared dinner, so the two of them went to have dinner together. After the meal, they looked at the gift Mu Yun wrote to the prince's mansion.
Today, it is rare that the few young people are not around, and after dinner, people have retreated. The couple has passed by one of the rare two-person worlds.
The next morning, after breakfast, Wen Tingzhou still had to go out for a gift. After Mu Yun saw him go, he turned around and muttered to the maids: "I don't know if the little pumpkin slept well in the Princess Yongchang's Mansion? This girl has always been picky about eating like her brother. She didn't move her chopsticks on the mat at noon yesterday, and she didn't know what she ate tonight? And those two brats, and I don't know if they had caused trouble."
Yin Liu smiled and said, "I heard that Princess Yongchang likes to eat beef, and the greenhouses in Princess Yongchang's mansion are not as big as those in our mansion. The fresh vegetables there must be less and more watery than our family. I passed by the greenhouse today and saw that I had just picked a few baskets of fresh vegetables, and some bean sprouts and other things. My wife might as well send them some."
After hearing this, Mu Yun nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, let's leave this matter to you. Go and pick a few things that my elder sister likes to eat and put them in. In addition, pick a box of beads and small items from my shop yesterday, and take them to my elder sister, and then say you can keep them for her to play with."
Yin Liu was cleaned up. When he arrived at Princess Yongchang's mansion, Princess Yongchang said with a hunched face: "Your young lady has only stayed here for one night, why is your wife so worried? Am I so untrustworthy?"
Yin Liu knew that Princess Yongchang was joking, so she was not afraid, but smiled and bowed. She stood up and said slowly: "Princess is joking. Our lady said that as long as the princess is not harsh, she will stay as long as she wants to stay. She is not worried anymore. I came because our lady saw that the vegetables collected in the warm room this morning were very fresh. Thinking that the princess's mansion had just held a table yesterday, there was probably no fresh vegetables, so she asked me to send some here."
At this time, fresh vegetables are hard to find. Even wealthy families can not build greenhouses. There are also greenhouses in the princess's mansion, but they are well-maintained, and the vegetables grown are not as good as those of Muyun's home. Therefore, Princess Yongchang was quite happy to see these things that Yin Liu brought, and smiled and said, "Your wife is more careful. Although the mansion has prepared some, it still needs to be used in the first lunar month. You also know that the vegetables in my greenhouse are not as good as those of your Wen Mansion, so you dare not eat them openly. With these sent by your wife, I can add a few dishes at noon." After saying that, Princess Yongchang asked someone to take the things to the kitchen and put them in.
Seeing that the eldest lady was not here, Yin Liu smiled and took out a box and said, "This is what our wife gave to the Lord of Jiashan County, which are small items from the shops in the south. Our wife said that we would let the Lord of Jiashan County keep it for people to use."
Princess Yongchang's maid took the box and handed it to her. Princess Yongchang took the box and opened it and looked at it. She saw that it was filled with rings, earrings, fan pendants, pearls, agate and other various shapes, all of which were scattered beads. Although the quality was good, they were not big in size. The quality was better than the exquisite workmanship. It was the most suitable for young girls to take gifts.
Princess Yongchang doesn’t lack these, but this was given to her daughter by Mu Yun, so she naturally accepted them. She picked up a ring and looked at the box of things and praised: “Speaking of the south is exquisite…”
Before she finished speaking, she heard the maid's request for peace outside the door. Then the curtain was opened, and the second wife of high school led Gao Shuyi in.
Seeing that they were coming, Princess Yongchang calmly put the things back into the box, covered the box and handed them to the maid beside her, and ordered: "Take this box to your county lord and explain it to her."
Yin Liu heard this and said, "It just so happened that I went over to invite the county lord and the lady."
Princess Yongchang joked: "I knew that your drunkard was not about drinking. I said it was to deliver things to me, but in fact I couldn't worry about your ladies. Okay, I won't bother you, so go and have a look." Yin Liu responded with a smile and followed the maid out.
Seeing Yinliu leaving, the second wife of high school asked with a smile: "Isn't this Mrs. Wen's maid? Why are you here again?"
Princess Yongchang chuckled and said, "Mrs. Wen asked her to send some things over. Are you busy with your brother and sister? Why did you have time to come here at this time?"
The second-year high school lady secretly poked her daughter and signaled her to say a few words in the scene. Gao Shuyi didn't know what to do. The second-year high school lady was so angry that she gritted her teeth secretly. But she still forced a smile and said, "Isn't this Shuyi's girl who wants to come to pay her respects to you, aunt? So she insisted on following me, but the child was too shy and became shy again when she got here."
This family has lived here for so long, and Yongchang has long understood their temperament. After hearing the words of the second wife of the senior high school, he muttered to himself: This brother and sister really don’t know how to calm down! And this niece, she still pays her respects? Is such a big air of giving her respects to her? It’s better for Shu Xin to come over every day regardless of the wind or rain. Only Shu Yi has never seen the rules of “conserving the morning and evening”.
At the beginning, I just mentioned a few words and caused complaints from the mother and daughter. Why bother? Anyway, I am just a niece. Let me go whoever I love! No matter what her business is.
Princess Yongchang saw Shu Yi sitting next to her brother and sister whispering, and she didn't pity her at all. This child was delayed by her mother, so what? She looked noble all day long, and she didn't have the capital to be a kohlrabi!
Yongchang looked at the mother and daughter, and knew that the second-year high school lady would go to the Sanbao Temple without any trouble. She thought for a while and said with a smile: "Shu Yi, you, a girl's house and two of us old women have nothing to say. Now your sisters should be playing in Jiashan's house. You can go too. If you don't want to go, go back to your own house to rest."
The second-year high school lady also hurriedly said, "Yes, your aunt is right, but don't go back and rest. Go to your sisters to play with your sisters." Although Gao Shuyi was a little reluctant, she thought that she would sit back when she returned to the room. Why not go and see what Jiashan and the others were doing, so she went as she said.
Seeing that his daughter had left, the second-year high school lady sat forward by herself, and said to Princess Yongchang with a smirk, "Speaking of this, I have something here that I want to discuss with my sister-in-law."
Princess Yongchang sneered in her heart: This second wife is indeed in trouble.
Then she picked up the teacup and asked, "What's the matter?"
The second-year high school lady said with a salivating face: "Yesterday, I heard Princess Ke say she wanted to kiss her third son? How about you tell Sister Yi to the third son of Prince Ke's mansion?"
As soon as the second wife of high school said, Princess Yongchang was so hungry that she was not choked by the tea in her mouth. Why are there such a shameless person? I really dare to think about it! Princess Yongchang was complaining in her heart.
Although she didn't choke, she still coughed twice before she recovered. She wiped the corners of her mouth with a veil and sneered: "You are so beautiful! I advise you to be more honest and do not think about these things you can't do. You are afraid that you have not figured out what the third prince of Prince Ke is, right? He is a rich and powerful person, and he has both fame and fortune at a young age. What is your sister Yi? He has a background, a background, or a talented person? Fortunately, there are no outsiders in the room, so why don't people laugh at you for dreaming in the daytime after listening to you?"
When the second wife of the senior high school started to mutter unhappily, "Why can't it work? Then, the third prince of Prince Ke also called you aunt? If you ask him to come to the mansion and find a way to let him meet with Sister Yi, Isn't this going to happen..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw a teacup flying towards her. Seeing this, the second-year high school lady hurriedly dodged away. The teacup was rubbed against her body and flew away, and then fell to the ground and fell into a thin layer. The second-year high school lady hurriedly used a handkerchief to wipe the tea stains on her clothes with a heartache. The material of this dress was obtained from Jiashan last time. This is a top Shujin. She has only worn it twice. I don’t know if it can be washed clean with these teas?
She was still free to worry about her clothes. Princess Yongchang had been furious by her words. She pointed directly at the second wife of the high school and cursed: "Don't you use the Gao family's actions that cannot be used to harm your daughter. How precious is the girl's reputation? Don't you know that you are a mother? Just do this. You are so good at taking care of her! My good sister has been ruined by you!"
The second-year high school lady felt very aggrieved: "I am also doing this for Sister Yi'er's good. Since my sister-in-law says that the third master of Prince Ke's mansion is good, let Sister Yi'er marry her, and your aunt's face will be shining!"
Princess Yongchang sneered, "Your light? Just rely on the shameful means of your parents and the Gao family? If you really get what you want, Yongchang won't have to stay in the capital. Your face is thrown away by you shameless things!"
The two of them made such a big noise, which naturally alarmed the maid outside. The master quarreled and did not dare to persuade the fight, so someone told Jiashan the news.
When Yinliu and Gao Shuyi arrived at the main house of Jiashan County together, Jiashan was holding Xiao Nanpu and talking with the sisters in his room. In addition to some girls with good relationships in the royal family, there were also Gao sisters.
When the Jiashan County Lord got the box, he opened it and looked at it, and smiled and said, "It's still Mrs. Wen who loves me. If you have good things, think about me."
Seeing that the girls in the room were all looking at the box, they smiled indifferently and said, "It's all gadgets, not expensive, but they are more exquisite. If you don't dislike them, just choose two of them."
Then he said to him: "Sister Xin is the oldest, you can choose first." Gao Shuxin glanced at the royal family girl beside her. Thinking that the other party's identity was more expensive, she carefully said: "Let County Lord Yunhui choose first."
The county lord Jiashan smiled and looked at the county lord Yunhui and said, "Don't pay attention to her. She has so many small things like this. There are better things in the family. We don't have to pay for these. We are orderly in our children, so you just have to choose first."
Gao Shu saw that County Lord Yunhui smiled at him and looked indifferent, and said with a smile: "Then I'm not polite." As he said that, he took two things from the box and thanked him.
Then, the county lord Jiashan said to Gao Shuyi: "Sister Yi happened to be here. You are a guest, so you can choose first."
