The First Daughter Rebirth Chapter 137 Tao Ranju (3)

After moving into a new residence, everyone must come to congratulate her. In the afternoon, Yu Ru, Yu Jing and others came over one after another, and they all prepared gifts.

What Yuru prepared was a pair of kang screens: "I embroidered this myself, I hope the fourth sister will not dislike it." Yuxi's embroidery skills are something that everyone in the Duke's Mansion knows. It's a pity that Yuxi pursues perfection, and the embroidered embroidery is pitifully rare. Only the old lady and the eldest lady can get her embroidery, and others will not have this opportunity.

Yuxi took the Kangping screen and said with a smile: "It's too late to like it, so why would I dislike it." Yuxi also knew that she was picky, but she had no choice. If the embroidery did not meet her requirements, she would rather destroy it than take it. Come out and use it.

What Yu Jing gave was also embroidery, a pair of screens. The difference is that Yuru's kang screen was embroidered by herself, but Yujing's gift was obviously made by a maid. Yuxi didn't show dislike either, and thanked her with a smile.

What Yuchen sent was a painting. Tingyun Pavilion had been cleaned up a long time ago, and at the beginning of May, Yuchen resolutely moved back to Tingyun Pavilion despite Mrs. Han's objection.

Yuxi thought it was Yuchen's own painting at first, but when she opened it, she was shocked. What Yuchen sent was actually Wu Dao's "Picture of Five Saints and Thousand Officials". Yuxi hastily declined and said: "Sister, this gift is too expensive, I can't take it. If sister really wants to give me a painting, draw me one yourself, I will like it more." This thing has a price but no market. ! Yuxi couldn't figure out why Yuxi gave such an expensive gift.

Yuchen shook his head and said: "If you send something out, there is no reason to take it back. If you like my painting, I will send it to you when I finish it."

It is definitely not good to accept such a valuable thing, but Yuchen has an expression that he will never take it back after sending it out. Yuxi really feels that Yuchen is giving her a problem.

Looking at Yu Xi's embarrassed expression, Yu Rong felt that Yu Xi really knew how to pretend. This calligraphy and painting is priceless, she wished Yuchen would give two more, and she even pretended to be difficult. But thinking that it was normal for Yuchen to give her a few things after returning from Hebei, she felt uncomfortable all of a sudden. They are both younger sisters, but they are treated differently.

Yuru laughed beside her and said, "This is my sister's wish, so you can accept it!" I still remember that she was envious when she saw this painting, but she didn't expect it to be in Yuxi's hands in a blink of an eye. However, it was luck that the painting was not taken away that day.

Those thieves don't know much about calligraphy and painting, not to mention the painting of "Five Saints and Thousand Officials" hanging in the studio, they don't even want the precious calligraphy and painting in the study.

Yu Jing really couldn't understand Yu Xi's dilemma, and said, "Sister, don't be hypocritical."

With Yuchen's gift in front,

The gifts from Yurong and Qiuyanfu can be ignored. The two of them didn't really want to give Yuxi a gift, but it was because it would be bad not to give it.

After everyone sat down, the servant girl brought some peaches. These peaches are attractive in fragrance and bright in color. Yuxi smiled and said: "This peach tastes good, you should try it."

Yurong looked at these peaches and asked: "Did you buy these peaches, Fourth Sister?" Everyone in the mansion knew that Yuxi even burned down the house, so there was no money to buy peaches. Peach has just been on the market, and the price is very expensive, and most people can't afford it.

Yuxi smiled and said, "No, I don't have that spare money. This peach was sent by the second brother in the morning." As for whether Han Jianye bought it or got it from someone else, she didn't know.

Yu Rong sneered, she knew to curry favor with Da Fang, without looking at her side. I don't know what father was thinking, but he didn't care about it, and let Yuxi go to the big room to show courteousness.

Yuru smiled and said, "Second Brother really loves Fourth Sister."

Yuxi didn't seem to see the different expressions of everyone, and smiled happily: "Yes! Second brother loves me very much, and he will think of me when he sees good things outside. Over the years, many rare things I have acquired are It was bought by my second brother."

After hearing this, Yuchen had a sad look on his face.

Nanny Gui didn't know at the beginning that Yuchen sent Wu Dao's "Picture of Five Saints and Thousand Officials". After knowing it, she said, "Miss, you gave Miss Si such a precious thing. Happy event, what should the girl give me?"

Yuchen smiled: "It's impossible for them to have a housewarming." Lost jewelry, smashed some porcelain and jade, but her fixed assets, such as house deeds, land deeds and bank notes, are still there, so Yuchen doesn't care about it. It didn't hurt muscles or bones.

Nanny Gui said softly: "Miss, it's okay with Miss Si." It was a little too good, making people feel that the girl is pampering Miss Si.

Yuchen said lightly: "It's just a pair of calligraphy and painting, so it can't be called good!"

Nanny Gui looked at Yuxi's appearance and said, "Girl, no matter how good the fourth girl is on weekdays, it is an unchangeable fact that she has resentment towards the old lady and the master in her heart. Otherwise, she should have brought Let Zi Jin and the sisters from the Deng family go to the upper house to protect the old lady instead of going to the main house. If the fourth girl went to the upper house, so many people would not die in the upper house." Nanny Gui said this in the hope that Yuchen would take precautions Yuxi, don't be emotional.

After such a long time, how could Yuchen not know what Nanny Gui was thinking, and said softly, "Go out, Mommy, I want to be alone for a while." How could she not know what Nanny Gui said. However, what position does she have to blame Yu Xi for what happened that night?

After Nanny Gui left, Yuchen walked to the window and looked at the swaying lotus outside, her heart was extremely heavy.

Yuchen has been reflecting for a while. After Yuxi found out that something was wrong, she knew to ask her maid to hide in the rockery in the garden to take refuge, but what about her? She only followed Nanny Gui to the upper room, leaving everyone else behind. If she had arranged the people below as well as Yu Xi did, wouldn't those people not die. Also, Yuxi only took Zijin and Deng's sisters to guard the main courtyard, but she and her grandmother did nothing. Knowing that the thieves were coming, they hid in the dark pavilion of the Buddhist hall, and didn't care about the maids at all. . But she hid in the secret pavilion, listening to the cries of the crowd for help, but she could do nothing. She will never forget that feeling until she dies.

And through this incident, she also saw the gap between herself and Yuxi. Yes, Yuxi is inferior to her in appearance and talent, but she is much inferior to Yuxi in other aspects.

Yuchen sometimes thinks that Yuxi is a mirror, and every time she looks at this mirror, she can discover her own shortcomings. It is not terrible to have shortcomings, the fear is that you do not know where your shortcomings are.

In the evening, Yuxi received a gift from Han Jingyan, a set of four treasures. After Yuxi took a look, she asked the maid to put it in the study.

With a study room, reading is much more convenient. But after reading the medical book for half an hour, Yuxi felt uneasy again. She thought of the "Han Shu" that was burned, and also remembered the notes she had made. Six years of hard work went to waste.

The next day, Yuxi approached Qiu Shi and said that she wanted to go out and buy books. All the books that Yu Xi bought before were reduced to ashes, Qiu Shi knew this. But the Qiu family did not agree to Yuxi's request.

Qiu Shi said: "It's still a bit chaotic outside now, you can go out and buy books after a while." Seeing Yu Xi's disapproval, he said: "I'm so anxious, let your second brother buy it for you." Qiu Shi also became frightened by the matter.

Yuxi responded with a smile, and said another thing: "Auntie, shouldn't the Deng family sisters be allowed to go back?" After the accident, the Qiu family kept the Deng family sisters. On weekdays, she must have someone by her side in order to feel at ease, which is also the sequelae of that night.

Qiu Shi hesitated.

Seeing this, Yuxi adopted a compromise method: "Auntie, Deng Shuang's wedding date is set in October, and she has to go back to embroider the dowry. If you want, you can let Deng Xue stay for a while."

Qiu thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, let the sisters go back! There are patrols in the mansion every night now, and there should be no more accidents."

Yu Xi comforted and said: "Auntie, there was a reason for the incident last time. If there are thieves coming again, they will never come back." The last time was a rebellion, many people wanted to fish in troubled waters. Who dares to do such a thing now, it is not courting death.

Qiu Shi nodded and said: "You're right, it's impossible for such a thing to happen again." Instead of saying this to Yuxi, it's better to say it for her own support.

Yuxi knew that the Qiu family was in the shadows, and said: "Auntie, if you are not at ease, put two more healthy women in the yard. If something really happens, they can resist it for a while."

Seeing Yuxi's calm words, Qiu suddenly laughed: "Thankfully, my aunt has lived for such a long time, and she is not even as good as you. She is really going back as she lives." Yuxi is not afraid She was scared, isn't it a joke.

Yuxi thinks it's normal for Qiu Shi to be afraid: "Auntie has so many worries and can't let go, that's why she's afraid."

After hearing these words, Qiu couldn't help but patted the back of Yuxi's head: "What are you talking about? What do you mean I can't let go of it, and you speak as if you have nothing to worry about."

Yuxi smiled lightly, and didn't explain everything. Speaking of which, there is really nothing in the Duke's Mansion that she can worry about.

Qiu's heart choked, but she couldn't say anything better. He simply turned around and ordered Liu Yue: "Go and call Deng Shuang and Deng Xue."

When Sister Deng Shuang knew that Qiu Shi was going to let them go, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. They eat well, live well, and dress well in the Duke's Mansion, but they feel uncomfortable all over. But Mrs. Guo didn't propose to let them go back, and they couldn't take the initiative to ask to leave. The employer didn't say the contract was completed, how could they terminate the contract on their own initiative.

Qiu Shi is a very generous person. Knowing that Deng Shuang was getting married, not only did she send materials and ornaments, but she also gave them a dowry of one mu of fertile land, which was much more affordable than silver.

The two sisters Deng Shuang got these things, and they couldn't close their mouths with joy. The fertile land around the capital is really something that even money can't buy. The sisters took the reward and went back happily. This trip was worth it.

Yuxi said: "Auntie, just give them one thousand taels of silver each, why do you want to give them good land?" This is a bit big.

Qiu said with a smile: "Many families have been implicated in the treason. Those who have a little wealth will take advantage of this opportunity to buy properties." All the properties owned by the families implicated in the treason case will be sold. The Qiu family was still very discerning, and bought shops and properties during this period.

Yuxi hurriedly said: "Auntie, I still have more than a thousand taels of silver on hand, can you buy another small shop?" Although Yuxi has an income of two thousand taels of silver every year, her expenses are also very high. Now there are only more than a thousand taels of silver.

Qiu smiled, took a small box from Mother Li and handed it to Yuxi. Yuxi knew what it was without looking at it, she shook her head and said, "Auntie, I can't take this thing."

Qiu put the small box into Yuxi's hands and said, "This is the dowry my aunt prepared for you, and now it's just given to you in advance."

Yuxi doesn't want to live or die.

Mother Li smiled and said: "Miss Si, this is specially bought by Madam for you. If you don't take it, it will be a waste of Madam's hard work." In the past, Madam Li would say a few words when the Qiu family subsidized Yuxi. Afraid of giving things generously, afraid that Yuxi will make an inch. But now, Mother Li didn't have a word. Compared with what Yuxi did before, this is really nothing.

In desperation, Yuxi could only accept this small box.

Mother Li and Qiu Shi said: "Miss Si's temperament is really rare." That night, Yuxi not only protected the lives of everyone in the main courtyard, but also preserved the property of the main courtyard. For such a great contribution, the fourth girl not only didn't take credit for it, but seemed to forget about it, which made Li's mother very admirable.

Qiu Shi nodded and said: "Yes! Thanks to Yuxi." If there is no Yuxi, she must be like the old lady, and all the belongings in the courtyard have been looted. If so, where would she have the money to buy a property shop?

Mother Li smiled and said: "This is Madam's kindness is rewarded with kindness." If Qiu didn't treat the fourth girl as her own daughter, the fourth girl would not run to the main courtyard to protect his wife regardless of danger, she must be with her Like the maid, she hid in the rockery.

Qiu Shi very much agrees with this sentence: "In life, we should accumulate more blessings." Only by accumulating blessings can we get blessings.

Back in Taoranju, Yuxi gave the box to Zisu.

Zi Su is a money fanatic, and she loves money even more than Yu Xi, otherwise she would have asked the maid in the Rose Garden to snatch her ornaments out of such a dangerous situation at that time. Zisu opened the box, looked at the contents, and said happily: "Girl, Madam gave me a shop in the East Street, plus a thousand acres of fertile land." These two things are much more valuable than Yuxi's property. .

Since it was said that it was a dowry for her, Yuxi knew it was a shop and a property without looking at it. Only these industries are the most affordable. Yuxi said: "Since the eldest aunt gave it to you, you can put it away!"

Zisu happily put away these things, and said to Yuxi: "Girl, the property in your hand plus the dowry from the mansion in the future, we don't have to worry about money in the future." At that time, Yuxi paid five taels a year Yin makes Zijinyi, and Zisu's hair is almost graying.

Yuxi did not respond to this sentence. If there is no mistake, these properties can indeed ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing. But no one knows what will happen in the future.
