Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 648 An Annual Gift from the Western Kingdom

The issue of Xiaotuanzi's crotch-opening pants is a small episode, and it finally solved the problem of him being a bird walker with bare buttocks at the age of four. The calendar has entered the coldest December, and every household has to start preparing for the New Year. Families who are a little bit related will also start giving New Year gifts, and Jingyun Villa is no exception. This year is a bit special. In addition to the New Year gifts for Huajun Wangfu, Xiguo also specially sent a gift to Jingyun Villa.

"I remember you said before that the New Year's ceremony is in charge of the Prince Xiguo, right?"

After receiving the long list, Ling Jingxuan asked suspiciously, now that Sikong Yu has become the emperor, and Xue Wuyang is also the queen, at least on the surface, they can no longer communicate as before, and each other needs to be careful about their own interests. Because of their status, they usually don’t give them annual gifts. Anyway, he and Xue Wuyang usually give each other enough things. It doesn’t matter if there is an annual gift or not. It’s just that he didn’t expect that he would receive an annual gift from Xiguo this year. .

"Well, usually the prince's mansion is responsible for drafting the list and the list of gifts, and the prince personally reviews and approves it. Now that Qi'er has become the prince, he should be responsible for everything."

Sikong Jue was also full of doubts. Even he knew that the imperial family of the Western Kingdom and Prince Sheng of the Qing Kingdom should not go beyond the emperor's etiquette. Qi'er has always been sensible, how could such a mistake happen?

"Forget it, I can't return the things after they are delivered. I'm afraid someone will impeach my prince again in the morning tomorrow."

Glancing at Tie Wazi next to him, he caught sight of the gold bracelet on his hand out of the corner of his eye. Ling Jingxuan's eyes flashed, and he pretended to be helpless and threw away the gift list. It seemed that the crown prince of the Western Kingdom was really planning on their Tie Wazi. , do you want to talk to Brother Zhao and the others about this?

"Impeachment is just impeachment. Isn't this kind of thing rare? The next time there is a war, let those who are good at impeaching others go. I still don't believe that they can use a brush to chop with other people's fine steel knives!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Sikong Jue's face was full of sarcasm. What he disliked the most were those censors who heard the news, and ran to the emperor to complain. Some even didn't even investigate the authenticity, so that people would expose them. It's just a matter of hearing the wind, never being responsible for his own actions, even his kind of prince and prince can't stand it, and it's fortunate that Xiao Qi has to sit on the dragon chair every day and listen to his nonsense.

"That's a good idea. I'll suggest it to Xiao Qi some other day."

Ling Jingxuan couldn't help chuckling, and picked out one from the gift list that was being pushed out, and then threw it away after a few casual glances: "No, it's too troublesome to do these things, I have to ask my concubine for help."

This is what women do, but their family lacks nothing but old women. If Concubine Yun was not preparing for the wedding with Wang Ling and the others, he wouldn't want to touch these things even if he was killed.

"You're just lazy. Some people who are not close don't need to return the gift. I'll take a look for you later. Concubine Yun is busy recently, so don't bother him."

Chu Yunhan shook his head and picked up a gift list to look at. The gift giver was marked Wu Mingqing. They had never heard of it. They probably went astray to try to curry favor with Prince Cheng. Basically, they don't care about that kind of person.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. I heard from Shaoqing that Xinyuan, Wanli Bank and Baiyun Pavilion's shopkeepers scattered all over the country are coming to Beijing one after another. Thinking of those things gives me a headache."

Every Chinese New Year, they are so busy that the first and the second are so busy, but this year Yan Si's wedding is scheduled for mid-December, and the family is all busy there, and there is no one to help him.

"Yunhan, please take care of mine too."

Seeing this, Si Kongjue hurriedly posted it brazenly. Who told the Hou Mansion not to have a separate family? Generally, the annual gifts are sent directly to the Hou Mansion. Yun Han basically doesn't have to worry about the annual ceremony. And contrary to their Yiyi, Han Han Ling Academy is on winter vacation at the moment, and compared to seeing this shopkeeper today and that shopkeeper tomorrow, he seems more leisurely. "Come on, leave the New Year's ceremony to me, and you can take care of other things."

Chu Yunhan couldn't help laughing. While speaking, he had already sorted out many gift lists very quickly.

"It's still our Yunhan who is strong, come, have a cup of tea to refresh yourself."

"I'll give you a massage."

Hearing this, Ling Jingxuan, Sikong Jue hurriedly poured tea for him, got up and stood behind him to help him rub his shoulders, and Tie Wazi, who was reading next to him, couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering, godfather and brother Jue are so funny!

"That's enough, Jingxuan, I heard that both Shaonong and Yan Si have been hired? Didn't you say that you will personally arrange the wedding venue for them, prepare wedding clothes and wedding rings for them? Are you done? And Jue, Nian The hospitals in Houjing City are going to be closed for the time being, why don't you deal with it?"

Unable to stand the dog legs of the two of them, Chu Yunhan put down the gift list and called the names one by one. He just happened to have nothing to do, so he just helped them, so what about them?

"Ann, the wedding dress and wedding ring are already being made, and the venue can be arranged in the last two days. Now that it is arranged, what if it is windy and rainy? I don't want to waste my time."

Ling Jingxuan waved his hand boredly. Originally, he planned to do everything himself, but he obviously underestimated the enthusiasm of his old ladies. He didn't even have the time to do the job of hiring a man. Even, as the groom's official Yan Si'an Shaonong is only responsible for giving out the dowry gift, and it's over if he shows up to the Song family for a symbolic offer, let alone the bride, who doesn't need to make the wedding dress by herself, and is responsible for all the mandarin duck pillow and quilt covers. Liu Xiaosui from Yunge Factory also made a round. They are definitely the most leisurely bride and groom he has ever seen, even more leisurely than Chu Yunhan and Zeng Shaoqing back then. "Are you going to do it in the open air?"

Chu Yunhan couldn't help raising his eyebrows, is this appropriate?

"Well, I've drawn all the blueprints for the wedding scene, and I can build them two days before the event. At that time, Xiaosui will bring the female workers from the Baiyun Pavilion factory to help. As for the dishes on the wedding day, Xinyuan will The chef is here to take charge, you just wait to attend the wedding."

It's not that he didn't see the disapproval between his brows, but Ling Jingxuan didn't mean to explain in detail. He said it was a wedding, but they didn't invite any guests at all. No one will say anything about the wedding process.

"Okay then, as long as you think it's okay."

Seeing this, Chu Yunhan couldn't say anything. He still trusted Ling Jingxuan's ability, and he should be able to see what he would do in a few days.

"Master, can the servant come in?"

A voice of inquiry suddenly sounded outside the door, and the three of them turned their heads to see that Liu Xiaosui, who had grown into a delicate beauty, was standing outside with a group of people holding things. She has shown a shrewd and capable side, and now she is taking care of most of the things in the Baiyun Pavilion factory, and she is also the only woman who can be regarded as Zhang Qing's right-hand man.

"Come in, everything is ready."

Ling Jingxuan smiled and hooked his hands, and Liu Xiaosui led the people in and walked in: "Yes, master, according to your instructions, four sets of clothes for newcomers, five sets for men and women, and the rest of the dresses are all made according to the size you gave Yes, and this."

Speaking of which, Liu Xiaosui turned around and picked up two red velvet boxes and opened them separately. Two pairs of golden rings lay quietly inside. Different from their simple rings, the female rings in these two rings were both made in the shape of hearts. It is a chain of small hearts with a heart-shaped ruby ​​in the middle, and the other is a spliced ​​heart formed by countless small rubies. Both rings are full of girlish atmosphere, while the men's ring is relatively simple, just two rings. A wide-faced gold ring with a few patterns engraved on it. Chu Yunhan and Si Kongjue took out the rings respectively. The inner sides of the rings were engraved with the love symbols of Si Yun and Nong Ling, separated by a small love area in the middle.

"You designed this?"

Chu Yunhan and Sikong Jue all came from famous families, one was born in the royal family, what kind of jewelry have they never seen in their life?But they have never seen a ring cut and inlaid into this shape. It is unique and luxurious, and it also has a romantic atmosphere. Don't blame them for being too cheating. They really can't imagine that Ling Jingxuan can design such a ring. Plant something from my daughter's house.

"Well, it seems to be pretty good."

Can he say that he designed them all according to the jewelry he had seen in his previous life?Although diamonds were replaced by rubies, and platinum was replaced by gold, but overall it was not ugly.

"Can I see the clothes?"

Putting down the ring, Sikong Jue couldn't help becoming interested in clothes again, wanting to know what kind of wedding dress he would design, but Ling Jingxuan stepped in front of him: "Before the wedding begins, no one can see it, including the groom and the wedding dress." Bride, if you want to see it, wait until the wedding begins."

After finishing speaking, Ling Jingxuan turned around and beckoned Tie Wazi who was quietly reading next to him: "Tie Wazi, take Xiaosui and the others to the guest room, and put everything in the guest room for the time being."

"okay."

As Tie Wa said, she put down her book and stood up. The more he was like this, the more curious Sikong Jue became, and she couldn't stop looking at the clothes covered with red cloth. What kind of clothes are they?Why is it still so mysterious?

"Master, don't you let Sister Yun and Sister Shui Ling'er try the size first?"

She deliberately brought people here in person, just in case there was a problem with the size to help them modify it.

"No need, you will also come on the wedding day, if there are any problems then just modify it."

Ling Jingxuan denied his inquiry without even thinking about it. There is no way. If others, especially my wife, see the wedding dress he designed in advance, they will definitely miss him. Everything can be done on the wedding day At that time, even if the old lady and the others are dissatisfied, considering the good life of Yan Si and the others, they should not say anything. After the wedding is over, it will be almost the Chinese New Year, and they should have no time to worry about the past. hey-hey? ? "Okay then, Uncle Robert will lead the way."

After Liu Xiaosui bowed her knees to salute him, she turned to Tie Wazi respectfully. Although she was not close to them like Ling Yunshui Ling'er, she always knew that the master treated them the same, so she took away the slave status. Let’s talk about this matter. When Aunt Song and the others were removed from slavery, her slavery was also removed. The masters have never forgotten her, so she has always respected them from the bottom of her heart, even She is a big girl who always shows her face outside and provokes criticism, and she doesn't care at all. The woman's family just wants to have someone to rely on and a better life. Now even if he doesn't marry, he has everything. She doesn't care if she doesn't go out.

In ancient times, people who could see things as openly as Liu Xiaosui were probably rare. However, it was her business that she could see things openly. After Ling Yun's wedding was over, Ling Wang and the others would probably make up their minds. on her.
