Chapter 157 Ideas
"What's wrong with that yard? Tell me what's going on in the yard?" The fifth prince's eyelids have always turned extremely fast, and he is best at finding the weak point that is beneficial to him. Huang Jingjie has been accompanying him since he was a child. Naturally, he is familiar with his temper. Looking at him, he said indifferently, "When this picture was sent here, Master Li specially explained in detail that this mansion was originally used by Prince Kang for the elderly Yuan. Well, but the layout of various places does not fit the rules of the prince's mansion. First, there is no serious study in this house, let alone a place for you to meet the directors later. The outer study yard you saw in front of you was originally the foreign affairs hall and accounting room in the house. Master Li was pushed down and renovated, and expanded the southwest corner. In addition, he opened the side door to the outside of the house, saying that it was a study. In fact, it was a place for you to meet people later. After the yard of the outer study, it extended along the western wall to the middle line of the house. Master Li separated seven or eight small courtyards for the guests. In addition, when it comes to this inner study, the inner study is the most important place. When Master Li brought it over, he prepared several places to choose from, but Master Li was right. The inner study should be safe. If you want to be safe, which place can be as good as it is now?
Huang Jingjie's explanation was meticulous and thoughtful, and the fifth prince's anger fell down little by little. It turned out that it was his inner study, and so. In his house, as long as it could be stuffed in, who wouldn't find a way or stuff one or two in? When the house opens, it is the monster's Dharma meeting. In this way, she also thinks of this, which makes people connect their study with the main courtyard, which is not only revealing, but also can watch what should be seen.
The fifth prince is getting better, but he has such an indescribable discomfort. Huang Jingjie's explanation is reasonable, but he always feels that there is something wrong, or it makes people uncomfortable. The fifth prince remembered the two words she passed on a while ago, and Li Xiaozu's matter is fine. She doesn't know it without saying that. Tao, but how did she know that Leng Mingsong fell in love with the second wife of the Lin family? Hearing that she had discussed marriage with the Leng family before, the fifth prince felt awkward.
Huang Jingjie saw that the fifth prince's heart was gradually calm but still looked awkward. He sighed and advised bitterly, "This house has been repaired for half a year, and Master Li has sent hundreds of drawings before and after. Have you seen one? Among other things, there is such a thick booklet about the curtains to be used everywhere. Which place should be matched with what kind of curtains, what color should be used, and almost every page has eyebrows. How much effort does it take and how much thought? Besides, they still have to prepare a dowry. Is it possible that you don't care and don't allow others to take care of it? What's the reason?"
What is wrong with the words should be the fifth prince, but the fifth prince's heart is awkward, but it can't fade away. He was bored for a long time and said, "Women's four virtues, which one let her take this head and care about this matter?" Huang Jingjie looked at him speechlessly and stopped talking. Doesn't he know that his daughter-in-law is a little different from other little women?!
At the beginning of October, the shopkeepers who handled various items took Li Tian's dowry to the capital one after another, and the furniture to be used everywhere in the new house also began to be closed. The embroidery workshop was carried into various clothes, curtains, cushions, etc. Li Jinghao took Mother Xiong and others to the ground in a hurry.
Li Tian and Shui Qiu Niang and Yue Niang checked all kinds of new valuable ornaments in the same way as in the warehouse. Shui Qiu Niang knocked on a pair of glass vases more than two feet high with her fingers and looked at them carefully: "This pair of vases are almost transparent, exquisite workmanship, and so tall. I am in Fushou. Gong has seen a couple similar to this.
Yue Niang quickly leaned over and looked around and said, "I just think these are all things that I don't like, Fushou Palace? Where is Ye Guifei?"
"How can she live in Fushou Palace? Fushou Palace has always been a place for the Empress Dowager, and now it is empty." Shui Qiuniang casually explained, and Yue Niang flicked the vase and said, "Is this thing in the Empress Dowager's palace? Fifth sister, isn't it too ostentatious for you to carry this in the dowry? Speaking of which, I was about to ask you, look at your dowry. Even if the queen gets married, you are not as rich as you. You have always wanted to keep a low profile. What's wrong with this time? Look at the golden glow in this room!"
"In the past, you had to keep a low profile and not reveal too much money, but now it's different." Li Tian shook the ruby decorated on the emerald bonsai with her fingers. Shui Qiuniang looked at Yue Niang and smiled and said, "Now the problem is not outside but inside. We have to tell the world how many dowry the fifth sister has. Now it is safer to put this money in the light. Besides, since the royal family has taken a fancy to the fifth sister, we can find one for everyone. Appropriate reasons can also save them from guessing and guessing too much. Maybe something troublesome will happen. After all, there is a limited number of things we can take care of.
Yue Niang was confused. Li Tian sighed and said, "I married a prince. Who else in the world dares to take money from me? Those who dare to make up their minds are all in the circle where they want to recognize their marriage.
"That's true, but I think you think too much. That's the official, rich all over the world, right? The silver in the world is his. Do you still care about your big money?
"Of course, officials don't care, but they are afraid that others will care about it. This is the second most important thing. Those who can't figure out how the officials gave this marriage like us can figure it out, so that we can't prevent it." Shui Qiu Niang then explained that Yue Niang frowned and let go: "I don't think the fifth master is like that. The Huang family has a lot of money, but it's true. The silver of the Huang family is actually the Huang family. The fifth sister's silver belongs to the fifth sister. On this alone, he is not as good as our fifth sister. You said that the fifth master actually saw our fifth sister. How happy to have so many dowries? It's really cheap for him." Yue Niang's thoughts happily jumped on what she was more interested in.
Shui Qiuniang shook her head with a smile and turned her head to look at Li Tian and said, "When are you going to ask the shopkeeper Huang to talk about Sanli City?"
"Tomorrow, it's too early for fear that they will think too much. If it's too late, I'm afraid that they will be embarrassed if they don't have time to prepare. It's best for us to make friends with the Huang family. Even if we can't make friends well, we must not be evil." Li Tian bent down and looked carefully at the old bronze tripod and replied, "Put this tripod behind the screen of the hanging flower door to smoke incense."
"Well, it's a good match for that screen." Shui Qiuniang carefully looked at the old bronze tripod and agreed. Yue Niang yawned and kicked the bronze tripod and said, "This thing is so old that it is not only placed here, but also valuable?"
"It's more valuable than that gem bonsai." Li Tian answered casually. Yue Niang stared around the old tripod and shook her head and sighed. She didn't want this broken thing for free.
The next morning, Mr. Wang arrived at the Qingfeng Building. Mr. Min hurried out and said with a long smile, "You haven't been here for a long time. Are you here to find me or our big shopkeeper?"
"I'm here to look for the big shopkeeper today. Is the big shopkeeper there?" The shopkeeper Wang smiled politely and modestly as before. Shopkeeper Min smiled and said, "It's unfortunate that the big shopkeeper hasn't come for two days. Go home to find him. Go forward and cross Dongda Straight Street. The first alley is. Wait, I'll ask a little man to take you there." The shopkeeper Wang answered with a smile, and his words had to be reached today.
Huang Jingjie politely sent the shopkeeper Wang to the door of the main hall and watched the shopkeeper Wang go away. His eyes gradually smiled. He breathed a relaxed breath, turned his hands behind his back and turned through the moon gate and went into the main courtyard.
Huang Jingjie's wife, Grandma Le, and her daughter Huang Jin'an, were embarrassed by the pearls and jade full of kang. Seeing Huang Jingjie come in, Grandma Le pointed to four or five piles of beads, pens and inkstones on the edge of the kang and said, "I picked these. Although it's not colorful, at least it won't go wrong. Do you see if it's okay?"
"Don't pick it," Huang Jingjie sat on the armchair in front of the kang, motioned his daughter to pour a cup of tea for herself, stretched her arms and smiled, "Send all these things to the fifth brother's house. Later, ask the fifth brother's daughter-in-law to help the fifth brother choose the gift."
"Hmm?" Grandma Le Si looked at Huang Jingjie in surprise. Huang Jingjie waved to her daughter and said, "Jin'er, go back first." Huang Jin'an knew that his father was going to talk to his mother, so he obediently bowed his knees and retreated.
"Just now, he was the big stewel who had to use in the hands of the fifth brother and daughter-in-law, and there was nothing else to do. He just came over and said that since the day before the dowry, the fifth brother's daughter-in-law's dowry were these shops in the capital. First, they were going to sell half and half-deliver, and second, they were going to send auspicious seals at the door of each shop, saying that they were little women and little The daughter-in-law has a fresh palace flower, a young man and a head. The child sends a tiger head hat, and the old man has a bottle of wine, a bag of snacks, and a bunch of green money.
Huang Jingjie chattered very carefully. The fourth grandmother looked at him puzzledly. Huang Jingjie drank the tea in the cup and explained with a smile, "This is about the fifth brother's daughter-in-law. According to reason, the marriage between the fifth brother and the fifth brother's daughter-in-law is the marriage between the royal family and the Li family. What does it have to do with us? What is our status? How can they pay attention to us? But the fifth brother's daughter-in-law specially asked the shopkeeper Wang to come and say hello to us. This is why she has us in her heart, alas!" Huang Jingjie sighed with satisfaction: "I think this Mrs. Li is extremely sensible. If the fifth brother can have such a daughter-in-law, there is nothing difficult for us to explain to our family."
Hearing Huang Jingjie's words, Grandma Le followed a sigh of relief and said, "Listen to you, my heart has finally fallen back. The second master will arrive the day after tomorrow, and my heart has been hanging for many days."
"Don't worry, now he is not as old as before. Who dares to underestimate him? How many benefits have the fifth brother gained from the family in the past few years? Up and down, who dares to make him unhappy? If the fifth brother doesn't speak, no one can do anything to me. It's okay. Seeing that Huang Jingjie was so calm, Grandma Le Si calmed down a lot and smiled, "Actually, I don't want to go back. I have lived in the capital for so many years. I'm really a little timid when I think of going back."
