Chapter 102
After listening to this, Han immediately clapped his hands and said, "the master didn't tell me earlier. Now the excellent red sandalwood and huanghuali are more and more rare. I've sent people to visit for many years, but I managed to collect a whole set of huanghuali furniture. There are few red sandalwood furniture. If I marry to an ordinary family, it's not very respectable to marry to the royal family. I thought I'd collect some from my mother's and my dowry and get another set of purple sandalwood furniture. I didn't expect that the Marquis would come quietly. I'm tired. I've done some useless work. "
Shen Mingchang said with a quick smile, "this batch of things are also made by coincidence. There are some twists and turns in them. I'm also afraid that things will be delayed if they don't come back. As you just said, it's hard to find these woods now. Even if she can't use them alone, she can keep them for brother Hong. In addition, there are two children, su'er and jane'er. In the future, they will have to be helped by us. No matter how many sets they have, they won't be too many. "
Wen Yan Han's heart just comfortable some, she exhibition Yan way "so say is concubine body misunderstanding Hou Ye." She was afraid that Shen Mingchang would say that the wood was meant to supplement the children of the common people.
Shen Mingchang waved his hand and said, "this time, there are also some nourishing things such as the first-class blood swallow. My wife has to take care of brother Hong and keep the housekeeper. It's really hard, but it's better to have a healthy life."
As soon as Han was about to say thanks, he heard Feixu reply outside the curtain, "reply to Mr. and Mrs. Hou, and Mr. Xu from the front yard sent someone to pass it on, saying that he had something important to discuss with Hou."
Hearing the speech, Shen Mingchang stood up and said, "I'll go and have a look. Madam, I don't have to wait for my meal." Then he walked out with a big step. Han looked at the sky and said, "go and tell the big kitchen to prepare a table of exquisite dishes and send them to the outer study." I have a little servant girl to smell the words.
After a while, Shen Mingchang's young man came over with two brocade boxes and said with a smile, "if you go back to your wife, this is from the Lord Hou. The Lord Hou said that the peony box is for the big girl, and the pattern box is for the lady. Please accept it."
Feixu took the box and handed it to Han. Han was not in a hurry to open the box, but said with a smile, "if the Marquis leaves Mr. Xu for dinner in the evening, please advise him not to drink too much wine. Mr. Xu likes to drink pear blossom white. He is a strong drinker. He will prepare some flower carvings for the marquis. " Then let fly catkins took a purse to reward him, the boy promised to go.
When Han opened the box in his hand, he saw that in the brocade box with the peony pattern were the real estate and gold and silver tickets mentioned by Shen Mingchang just now. Han counted them again and found that there were two more silver tickets with a thousand taels in it. I think they were added. Although Shen Mingchang gave these things to his daughter, Han decided to give her all the things she had taken out of her dowry. Silver tickets and land deeds are all taken with you. No matter how much dowry is on Duoming's face, it won't surpass the Crown Princess and the great imperial concubine in front of you. Women, no matter where they are, have money and feel secure.
When I opened the second box, I saw a five hundred taels gold ticket and two five thousand taels silver tickets. In addition, there is a small box with the size of palm, in which there are more than 20 bright red and pure pigeon blood rubies. Several big ones are as big as litchi, and the small ones are as big as lotus seeds. They are full of brocade boxes, and Han's face is ruddy.
Although there are some red treasures in my private room, their size and color are not as good as those in front of me. Han picked out half of the box and handed it to Feixu. "I prepared several sets of rubies for Tian's sister, and the stones on her head are not as neat as this. Put them away and take them to the big brother's gold shop tomorrow. Let renhesheng make a set of head for Tian's sister. Gold doesn't have to be heavy. It's lighter and more careful. "
As a result, the brocade box said with a smile, "don't worry, madam. Master Yu's craftsmanship is the most exquisite. Such a good red treasure is that you don't say it, he promises to make a set of exquisite jewelry."
Han chuckled. "That's true."
The next day, just after noon, a group of well-dressed young men drove more than ten carriages into the side door of Zhongyi Marquis's house.
Shen Mingchang has not been appointed by the imperial court since he won the imperial court. He has been idle at home. If the Emperor didn't often invite him to talk in Yangxin hall, outsiders would think that Zhongyi Hou was out of favor. After being informed by the porter, he strides to the front hall. Shen Ze was sitting there. Seeing him coming, he quickly stands up and says, "please give my uncle good-bye. Fortunately, I have carried all my things back."
Looking at his dusty appearance, Shen Mingchang nodded, "OK, you've worked hard. First go to the guest house to wash and have some lunch. It's not too late for us to talk." Shen Ze is also not polite, promised to turn around and go. Although he no longer lives in this house, the courtyard where he used to live is still vacant for him.
Shen Mingchang took a look at the boxes of things carried to the front hall, pointed to some of them and said, "let's carry them with the furniture to the lady."
After getting the news yesterday, Han sent someone to clean up a small cross yard beside his main yard. There were only four West chambers and two inverted seats in it. It was just right for the warehouse. The next people unpacked and cleaned the furniture one by one, and Fang carried it into the second door. Han looked at the pieces in front of him, but he couldn't help nodding to himself. These furniture are not only made of superior wood, but also more exquisite than those in the capital.
At this time, Feixu came over and said, "madam, these furniture can't be finished for a while and a half. Madam, if you don't go to the house to rest, you can wait until they have finished moving. Although it has been a month, but now it is not a hundred days, the wife or more maintenance is good. What's more, the Marquis over there also asked people to send in some boxes. Madam, you might as well put them in to have a look. "
Han said with a smile, "I thought that mammy Qi would go back to the south to visit her relatives. I could be quiet at least. I didn't expect that you are more nagging now than mammy Qi He complained like this. He turned around and said to the woman in charge beside him, "take care here. Let the boys be careful. They'd rather move slowly than bump. What's more, let them move gently. Don't wake up brother Hong. " That old woman son busily does not stack of promise "Madam although don't worry, the maidservant certainly well stares at them."
Feixu, holding Han's arm gently, said with a smile, "when mammy Qi left, she told her to take good care of her wife. I can't be more careful. If I don't, I'll be a slave when mammy Qi comes back Han gently touched her forehead, "you girl."
In a moment, when they returned to the hall of the main courtyard, they saw seven or eight big boxes on the ground. Han waved his hand, and then a servant girl came forward to open the box one by one. Rao is a well-known Han, and he was dazzled by the jewels in the box for a while. She couldn't help thinking of the rumor that her husband had just returned to Beijing. At that time, there was a rumor in Beijing that Shen Mingchang had taken the Treasury of Jinsha state and privately swallowed it. At that time, Han thought it was really a rumor. Now looking at these things, she is not sure.
