Although the year has passed, but one after another sent three or four generous gifts to take out some bits and pieces of gifts, at this time sent basically some of the local products sent by some subordinates when the father was released, the reason, since everyone wants to be promoted, to the capital squeezed, there are people in Beijing who are easy to do things, the relationship in the officialdom is complicated, and it is still very important to maintain a good relationship with high-ranking officials, many relationships and many roads, the most afraid is the dilemma of having nowhere to give gifts.
It is said that the emperor wants to widen the canal connecting the north and south, and then has to rent a carriage to take the land by land Lin Yuanzhi just swept the things sent and ordered someone to put them in the warehouse, and after saying a few words, Cui asked the little guy to bring back some brocade, a specialty of the capital.
Yuzhu knew what the father meant when he saw the gift, and Cui said that this gift was also very particular, if the gift was returned intact, the implicit meaning was that I didn't want to have contact, and I wouldn't send it again in the future; If you accept a gift from someone else, and ask the person who gave the gift to bring back a gift of equal value, it means that you are unwilling to make deep friends and are very polite and distant; There is also the case of accepting but not returning the gift, which is an intimate relationship and does not see the outside; But if it's like the current situation, just send some souvenirs to show your gratitude, then it means that you are willing to accept the gift giver's overture.
Lin Yuanzhi, who received the gift, was not in a good mood, Yuzhu peeked at his frowning brows, wondering if he was worried about being arrested after accepting bribes, but why he was a little worried about the country and the people "Daddy, why aren't you happy to take the risk of receiving these things" Yuzhu was a little pessimistic, always thinking about serious results.
Lin Yuanzhi saw that his daughter had a small face, with a look of "Otherwise, let's not take it back" and stopped, he couldn't help crying and laughing, "What's the point of receiving some things, except for that Chen Ge Lao in the capital, who doesn't accept any gifts, I'm not worried about this."
"Under the influence of the Cui family, there are some things that Lin Yuanzhi does not avoid Yuzhu, and his daughter is gradually getting older and is not far from getting married.
"The emperor is old, and anyone with a discerning eye can see this body, but he is only raised by medicine."
Out of the caution of civil officials, Lin Yuanzhi's voice was still a little lowered, "The emperor is still not convinced of the old, and he will complete a great cause that will go down in history, but this project is so huge, maybe it will go through several generations of emperors, and the treasury may have to be hollowed out, and the labor and wealth will be extremely expensive, but unfortunately the bitter advice of all the officials has been rejected, and this is still started." ” smiled bitterly, and continued: "The emperor has become more and more eccentric in recent years, and he has become more and more disgusted with adult princes, but he has pampered the little princes below, and the concubines and concubines who have little princes under their knees have begun to liven up, and the situation in the harem is becoming more and more weird, and the storm is coming." ” Yuzhu secretly thought in his heart, this is a bit like Emperor Kangxi's later years, his sons are in the prime of life, they are in the prime of life, but they are dying of old age, if it is an ordinary person, it doesn't matter, it is okay to tease the grandson, but the emperor has his own thoughts, in front of the throne, the son is not a son, they are all enemies who snatch power with themselves, how terrible, as the years go by, the body grows old, people will become more and more selfish, more and more unscrupulous, and the inherent weaknesses and ugliness in their own character will be exposed one by one, and finally become unreasonable.
Yuzhu sighed lightly, and suddenly remembered Concubine An in the palace, it was rumored that the Jiang family went out of the Shugui Concubine favored the harem, the emperor almost no longer set foot in other palaces, I don't know what kind of countermeasures that beautiful and elegant woman would have, and the four princes, in the face of such a father, what would he do When the four princes were born, the entire Lin family inevitably embarked on a road of no return, the rise and fall of the family is tied to one person, and all the people who support him, these people's families sometimes fight not only for themselves but also for othersIt's tiring to think about being a man.
Yuzhu was sad for a while and calmed down, it was useless to worry, he couldn't play with the court in the temple like some crossing women, and he could collect money and absorb money in the grass, creating a huge business empire, asking for money, money, power, and power, if that was the case, he could give his cousin who was in the middle of the fire of the water a little support.
It's a pity that I'm a little housegirl, the housekeeper embroidery is okay, forget the rest, if the throne fails and is implicated, the worst result is a white silk thing, just like she knows that she has grown up, but the marriage may not even be her own father and mother, marrying a good marriage is all based on the will of "God", simply don't bother to pay attention, let whoever you marry will marry, if the husband is okay, then live a good life, if it's not good, then make do with it, if it's really a scumbag, there is no room for transformation, then simply find a way to let him "die", It's not bad to be a widow in your own comfort.
No matter how the emperor tosses the canal, the capital is still peaceful and happy, early in the morning on the day of Yumei's son's full moon ceremony, Cui Shi went out with Yuzhu, sitting in the warm carriage that was roasted and holding the stove, Cui sighed that it was really a daughter, the eldest daughter-in-law had to take care of the child and the housekeeper, and the younger daughter-in-law had morning sickness just right, where to go out, only the daughter was accompanied.
However, seeing that Yuzhu is also fifteen, looking at the actions in the palace and the actions of the old lady, I am afraid that the spring finger marriage is about to come down, thinking of this, Cui's heart is distressed and depressed, and his face sank.
Yuzhu looked outside, looked at the surrounding scenery, and obviously arrived at the Wu family, thinking that Cui's was thinking of the child who was shocked by Yumei's drop in the cup, and didn't know how to persuade him, so he only put down the small copper hand stove in his hand and gently snuggled into Cui's arms, making silent comfort.
The Wu family is worthy of letting the Liang family and the second uncle marry their daughters even if they disobey the old lady's will, they really deserve the word "rich", they are different from the general houses from a distance, although the door is not qualified to put stone lions, but can not stand the tall Xuanyuan of the courtyard, the crystal glazed tiles of a water, the arches of the gatehouse overlap, the eaves teeth are high peck, and the fangs, bucket arches and eaves are carved into imitation wood structure with grinding bricks, but it is quite imposing, the house enters the deep hall and the corridor is four, even the Cui family secretly sighs that there are rules.
The maid smiled and led them in, and Yuzhu looked silently along the way, the maid and servant woman were busy coming and going, although it was not as good as the official training, but there was no big mistake in the rules.
Originally, as Cui's identity, there was no need to visit the old lady of the Wu family, but it was not bad to come left and right for such a while, and Cui's had always been reluctant to be talked about, so he motioned to the maid to lead the way, and the maid was also very clever and very knowledgeable and directly led people to the courtyard where the old lady lived.
Entering the eye is a white powder shadow wall, on which is a rich and noble brick carving of the hundred longevity picture, Mrs.
Wu first heard the news, has been packed out to greet.
Cui's smiled and stepped forward to salute, Mrs.
Wu looked a little restrained, although she said that this was her granddaughter-in-law's aunt, who was younger than herself, and it depended on who her wife was.
Thinking about it, I feel that no matter what, this family affair is really right, although the dowry is enough to marry three daughters-in-law, but it is worth it, but the people are the young lady from the Hou Mansion, and the relatives who come are all amazing, and now which family in the nearby radius does not look down on the Wu family, and which one dares to say that the Wu family started as a businessman in the future.
Cui Shi patiently listened to the old lady of the Wu family chattering and flattering in broken official words, and always maintained a serious listening expression on her face, occasionally saying "Yes" and "Oh."
"Something like that, but Yuzhu dares to guarantee that the Cui family is now waiting for the maid to come in and call someone.
Finally waited until Yumei sent the little maid to invite people, the two were able to get out, before leaving, Yuzhu looked back at the old lady of the Wu family who was smiling with a wrinkled face, and shrunk her shoulders, this world is too heavy on filial piety, how the old man is stained, even if he is as strong as his mother, he has to endure it, and he thought of a previous saying that if he marries, he will marry a man whose parents are dead, and he can't help but hook his lips and smile.
"Hmph, here we go again."
When passing through a courtyard, suddenly a sharp voice came to the ears, so that Yuzhu was slightly stunned, how long had he not heard such a tone raised his head, only to see a little girl standing at the end of the road wearing a big red silk embroidered magnolia jacket, it looks like the face is very good, but unfortunately the fat powder is very thick, I don't know what it looks like without makeup, there are a lot of golden things on the head, it really does not meet the aesthetics of Yuzhu.
The little maid in the Yumei House seemed to be a little cringe when she saw her, but she plucked up her courage when she thought of the person behind her: "Miss Thirteen, this is a distinguished guest, and the slave maid was ordered by the eldest young man to bring someone over." ” "Cut, rare."
The thirteenth lady was a little angry, rolled her eyes, stomped her feet, and glared in this direction fiercely before turning her head and leaving, the gold thread on her skirt was dazzling, which was also a little too nouveau riche.
The little maid breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Miss Thirteen is not very good-tempered, don't be surprised, wife." ” Cui Shi hadn't seen anything, just smiled faintly and urged: "Let's go, it's cold enough outside."
"It seems that although Yumei is low-married, life may not be easy, but she is really too lazy to worry about the people who raised such girls, so she will leave after the incident.
Fortunately, no matter how rich the people are to build a house, Cui and Yuzhu walked for a while into the courtyard where Yumei lived, because it was the residence of the eldest grandson, so all the way in, everywhere is also taken care of the delicate and bright, Huanghuali Duobaoge is placed on the Yue kiln mold printed lotus petal pattern plate, the shadow green banana leaf pattern large bottle, the brother kiln small opening piece plus color jar and other furnishings, the corners of the furniture are wrapped with gold sheets, the objects in the house are more or less with some gold ornaments, although the wealth is too heavy, fortunately, there are still some tastes, patterns and patterns are quite elegant. gd1806102:
