  Chapter 2459 Guizi scroll mandarin ducks come from the south, subtle thoughts

  The arrival of Yuanyang and Yu Chuaner almost coincided with Bi Ziyan's arrival.

   Still, Shen Xuelin and the three good wives knew him well, and finally sent the most caring mandarin duck and the liveliest jade bracelet to serve him in his daily life.

  However, before he had time to say goodbye to the mandarin ducks, Guo Zhengyu in the south had already sent someone to find Feng Ziying to discuss with Bi Ziyan about the issuance of shares by Wusongkou Shipyard and the establishment of the Nanjing (Yangzhou) Stock Exchange.

   He could only hold the mandarin duck in his arms and kissed it reluctantly, making the mandarin duck dimpled like fire, and the affection in the eyes of the apricot core almost overflowed.

Yu Chuan'er next to her was so ashamed that she couldn't help stomping her feet, Feng Ziying let go of the mandarin duck, squeezed Yu Chuan'er's buttocks, and sighed under Yu Chuan'er's charming but expectant eyes .

"If you want to blame, blame Baoxiang. If you don't come to report early or late, you two have aroused the anger of the master, but you said that Guo Shilang and Bi Shilang are waiting for me. What can I do? manage?"

  Yuanyang is also a person who knows the seriousness, wiping the messy hair on his forehead, his eyes are full of tenderness.

"It's strange, the official ship in front has been in front of the ship that the servants took, and they said it was such a coincidence that they traveled the same way from Tongzhou to Nanjing. It turned out that they came here specially to discuss important matters with the master, so hurry up Let's get busy, the servant girl and Yu Chuan'er are also going to meet some new concubines,..."

  Feng Ziying also became hot.

  Yuanyang is the housekeeper of the mansion, so it is inevitable that there is a bit of teasing in it. I don’t know if the mansion knows about it, or after Yuanyang arrived at the mansion, he heard Ruixiang, Baoxiang or Third Sister You say it?

With a dry cough, Feng Ziying pretended to be nonchalant, but her confidence was weak: "What big event is more important than grandpa and Yuanyang's intimacy? So what if I put it aside? By the way, Yuanyang, be careful what you say, new aunt, ..."

"Master, do you still have to cover up in front of your slaves?" Yuanyang covered her mouth and giggled coquettishly, the protruding buds on her chest were round and upright wrapped in a pea green silk satin jacket sprinkled with gold, her wasp waist was slightly tucked in, On the jade-neck slender hair bun, a peach ruby ​​and emerald jade hairpin wrapped around flowers perfectly set off the cleverness of the mandarin ducks.

It’s already very cold in November in Jingshi City. The temperature is getting higher and higher as we sail all the way south, but we are familiar with Nanjing mandarin ducks. The weather is just as damp and cold, so I dare not take off my clothes casually. The fox fur cloak was removed.

   This fox fur cloak was also given to Yuanyang by Shen Yixiu. It is gorgeous and noble in style, and it is also made of red fox fur in Liaodong. It is very valuable at first glance. How can Yuanyang dare to wear it?

  But Shen Yixiu insisted on giving it to her, and he said that it was freezing outside, so she had to wear what she should wear, and told her to wear it when she went to Nanjing this time, and don't lose face to the Feng family.

   After saying this, Yuanyang couldn't push it away, so he could only continue.

Then Baochai specially gave her a sterling silver hollow gilt hand stove with vivid cloud and thunder patterns and exquisite craftsmanship. Charcoal and spices were poured into it to keep warm and provide incense. It was a rare work of art. .

Yuanyang has also seen the world, and at a glance, he knows that this thing is not affordable for ordinary people. Except for the few people in the capital city who specialize in custom-made jewelry for the palace or the top wealthy families in the city, no one can make this kind of stuff. .

  I am a maid, how can I afford such a thing? Except for the three grandmas and the two wives, even the other wives would have to think carefully if they wanted to use this thing.

   Miss Ke Bao gave it to herself so blatantly, and she also wants to take it to Nanjing by herself.

  Yuanyang also tasted a little taste, and dared not refuse any more, so he could only accept it with gratitude.

  Daiyu also called her to give this emerald jade flower hairpin inlaid with rubies before leaving, which also made Yuanyang panic.

  Mandarin Duck knows the price of this hairpin too well.

It turned out that when she was still in the Rongguo Mansion, she took care of the private property of her ancestors. Naturally, she was also knowledgeable. She also saw a lot of ordinary hairpin necklaces and beads, rings, bracelets, and anklets. She also saw a lot of expensive and exquisite objects, and her eyes were natural. That's it.

  She knows this hairpin very well. It was specially customized for Miss Lin according to her identity when Ding Zhenji came to invite business.

  Ding Zhen Ji is not an ordinary jewelry business.

Their shop on Xi'anmen Street in Anfufang is not big, but it is the first store outside Xi'anmen, on the second floor. The problem is that they never accept foreigners, and only accept guests introduced by regular customers, that is to say You usually come to Dingzhenji to see other people's jewelry, but they don't show it to you unless you have a regular customer with you, or come to the door with a special letter of introduction.

  Half of the jewelry of the empress dowagers and imperial concubines in the palace came from their custom-made jewelry. Similarly, they also mainly made jewelry for the top group of wealthy officials and women in the capital city.

  The Feng family is now well-deservedly ranked among the top wealthy families in the capital city. Those who come to invite business are all old people who have been in Ding Zhenji for many years, all old women, otherwise these people will not allow you to enter the door.

Yuanyang knew that this hairpin was custom-made for Lin Daiyu by Ding Zhenji's visit. The price of a ruby ​​from the Lion Kingdom on that hairpin alone was more than three hundred taels of silver. down.

   Even if I am the chief maid of the Feng Mansion, even if I have already been married to my master, even if I have a high probability of raising a concubine in the future, I still can't afford it.

   But after all, I am not a concubine.

  And now as the status of the master is getting higher and higher, the rules in this mansion are becoming more and more strict. It seems that there are several rules that if the master did not become popular when he took over the house, he could not raise a concubine.

It is said that these few items were decided by the wife and concubine in person, and they probably felt that there were too many women around the grandfather, and they were afraid that they would wear down their son's body, and these maids, big and small, had all kinds of thoughts, They all tried their best to flee to Grandpa's side,...

   No one can say whether it can be fertile or not. I have to fight my stomach. Although the mandarin ducks think they can have children, what if?

  Even if she brought up a concubine in the future, this kind of hairpin would be too expensive, even a mandarin duck would feel hot to hold it, but Daiyu insisted on wearing it when she went south, saying that she couldn't lose face to the Feng family.

   Unexpectedly, the three grandmas arranged for them to come to Nanjing for a "business trip". There are so many subtleties inside, and Yuanyang didn't hear anything from the words of the grandmas.

   All in all, it's just one sentence, representing the Feng family, and they can't lose the face of the Feng family, so she can only respond to everything first.

  But she is just a maid, how can she represent the Feng family?

  Muttered countless times, but did not dare to disobey the opinions of the grandmas. Yuanyang could only come to Nanjing wearing a cloak, holding a hand stove, and wearing a hairpin.

  Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived in Jinling City, they heard that there were a few new concubines in the master's house, which made Yuanyang angry and anxious and not easy to attack.

  This Aunt You San is useless, how long did she come out, how come there are so many people in the room, how can I explain to the three grandmas when I go back in the future?

   Later, when I came to the mansion, I heard that one of the four girls was married, so it is definitely impossible to enter the mansion as a concubine.

   Lost one and there are only three people left. The big deal is that they will be raised as a foreign house, so that's fine.

  Although Wang Xifeng and the uncle had an affair, and even gave birth to a son, the uncle never said that he wanted to bring her back to the mansion. The imperial court had its own regulations and did not allow it.

  The other three girls, two cousins ​​of Grandma Zhu, sisters Li Wei and Li Qi, also lived in the Grand View Garden for a period of time, they are acquaintances, Yuanyang feels at ease.

  Another Miss Zhen San had a close relationship with the Jia family.

  The Jia and Zhen families are also friends of the older generation. The Zhen family has now replaced the Jia family as the head of the four major families in Jinling, and their status is similar to that of the Jia family in the past.

   Then Zhen Baoyu and Yuanyang met once when they returned to Nanjing last time, and they really resemble Jia Baoyu, so the Zhen and Jia families are really destined.

  The name of the three jades of the Zhen family has been heard like Yuanyang, and they are all said to be beautiful, intelligent, and blue-hearted, and they are also the marriage partners of countless wealthy and prominent families in Jinling City.

The eldest girl married the number one gentry in Huizhou, Ding's family, and the second girl married the king of Beijing County. Who would have thought that both families would collapse like boiling soup, and this eldest girl Zhen was even divorced and returned to the Zhen family. I also became a prisoner, but Miss Zhen entered Feng's house as a concubine. This world is unpredictable, and it is really impossible to predict.

   "What can I hide?" Feng Ziying glared at Yuanyang, "I really want to take a concubine, can your grandma stop it?"

"Master, this is wrong. When did the grandmas stop you? The second girl and Xiuyan girl came in. The grandmas were very happy. There is also the matter of the third and fourth girls. Don't the grandmas also look forward to their early arrival?" Is it more lively in Guomen Mansion?" Yuanyang smiled half-smile, "But we just have to pay attention to a rule, you can't say that you don't even know how many grandmas in the mansion, so you just take concubines? Then it's better to be with whichever house you enter. Fang's grandma to say hello, shall I say something?"

  Feng Ziying coughed dryly, "Yuanyang, there are some things here that you don't know, well, sometimes things need to be changed on the fly..."

"Yo, my concubine also needs to be changed at the last moment, and it involves government affairs?" Yuanyang blinked mischievously, "Okay, master, slaves have no right to supervise master's work, slaves just remind masters that they still have to talk to a few people after they go back. The grandma confessed, how can I satisfy the grandma?"

"Yeah, Yuanyang, you almost fooled me by what you said. You are also a man of my father. Shouldn't you be with me and solve problems for me? How can you tell the three grandmas, you have to Help me to think about the reasons and words, well, I have to go first, the two adults over there are waiting anxiously."

  Feng Ziying waved his hand in satisfaction, squeezed Yu Chuan'er's dimple again, and then walked away.
