Chapter 4
Liu Shi and Chu Shi directly saw this scene in their eyes, and they ridiculed and disdained Su Shi in their hearts. After a long time, they put the sandalwood box firmly into Murong Jiujiu's hands.

He smiled coldly at Su Shi, "Madam is really good at tricks."

"..."

Absolutely blatant sarcasm.

"It's not too early today, since the matter is settled, let's take our leave first." Chu stood up first, and in terms of orders, she was the highest rank present.

So even the old lady had to hurry up and see her off.

"Two ladies, go slowly."

Even if Mrs. Su got into trouble today, but as the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she still had to put on a sullen smile and send Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Chu all the way to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But these two wives never gave Su Shi a serious look.

Today, Mrs. Su lost face without saying anything, sent away the distinguished guests, returned to the Shou'an Hall, and was reprimanded by the old lady several times, almost exploding her lungs out of breath.

And all this is because of Murong Jiujiu.

It's just that she still can't figure out why Murong Jiujiu, who used to be timid and fearful, has become so cunning and fierce?The Su family, who has suffered setbacks for several years, will never swallow this breath so easily this time.

Murong Jiujiu, you wait for Mrs. Ben.

……

Inside the boudoir.

"Miss, you are so capable, you only went out for a while, and you brought back such a box of treasures," Ning'er happily opened the sandalwood box, and took out a few pieces of paper.

He stumbled and read: "Liu, what is the record, what is the crisp title deed, wow, it is actually a shop, is this an account? It's so thick, I can't understand it, hey, there is a deed of the house for some unknown reason, and what is it? There are farms and fields in the suburbs...Miss, we will develop in the future."

"Look at what you're doing."

Murong Jiujiu rolled his eyes at Ning'er, stepped forward and took a look as well.

The title deed of Liu Ji Tao Ren Cake should be a shop selling cakes, and the shop of a silk workshop is probably for buying fabrics, he couldn't help laughing.

"Your miss, I got such a little thing after being rejected twice in a row. In other words, if I can't get married, I have to live on this little thing."

Thinking that this is something you get from getting married.

Ning'er's face suddenly became unhappy, "Bah, bah, how can you not get married, miss, you are good-looking and smart, and you will definitely marry a good man in the future."

"Okay, if I find a good husband, I will also find you a good man, a good husband, how about letting you hug the two for three years?" Murong Jiujiu narrowed his eyes and made a joke of Ning'er.

"...don't be ashamed."

Ning'er immediately blushed.

The two laughed and chattered for a while, and Qiu Ju, the second-class maid in charge of cleaning in the outer room, hurried over to report: "Miss, the mother Gui from the old lady's room is here."

"Please," Murong Jiujiu straightened his face, while Ning'er put all the house deeds and land deeds on the table back into the sandalwood box.

"The servant has seen the eldest lady."

"Nurse, you don't need to be polite."

Nanny Gui is also considered an old man in this mansion. When she entered the house at this moment, she swept away the usual business affairs and took a new look at Murong Jiujiu. In the past, she only said that this young lady is soft-tempered and mature. I can't do it, I don't want to, I just turned around, and I did such a trick.

To the eldest lady who only covered the sky with her hands in the backyard, after a lot of fighting and beating, only then did she realize that this eldest lady is also soft-hearted.

"Come on, bring things in."

As soon as Nanny Gui greeted her, a little maid came in carrying a wooden box carved with pear blossom lacquer, and put it lightly on the table inside the room.

"This is the return gift given by Prince Rui three days ago when he retired from the engagement. The eldest lady will count it, so I can know it in my heart."

This box is three or four times bigger than the sandalwood box given by Chu Wangfu.

Murong looked at it for a long time, and said with a smile: "Even if it was given from the hand of the mother, it cannot be mistaken, there is no need to count it, Ning'er."

Ning'er understood, and sent the purse she had prepared a long time ago into Nanny Gui's hands.

There is a full five taels of silver, which was originally half of Murong Jiujiu's total monthly silver. In the past, it was spent on tight clothes and food, but now, with the repayment gifts of the two divorced engagements, she also has her own small treasury. So naturally don't be stingy.

Nanny Gui must be satisfied with receiving such a generous reward, and after returning home, she must speak kindly for the eldest lady in front of the old lady.

"The servant will not bother you, please leave."

"Mommy walk slowly."

Sending off Nanny Gui, Ning'er gathered around the table with an excited face, and sighed cheerfully: "What a big box, could it be that Prince Rui's reciprocation is more dignified than that of Prince Chu's Mansion?"

Murong Jiujiu laughed.

"The box is big, and it's only decent on the surface. You can only find out when you look inside."

Ning'er immediately opened the box unceremoniously, and when she saw the items inside, her pleasant smile shrunk slightly, and she murmured: "Miss, you are indeed decent."

What she said was obviously wrong.

Murong looked intently for a long time, and saw that in the spacious wooden box carved with pear blossom lacquer, there was a pair of precious heads inlaid with gold and jade, connected with matching seven or eight gold and jade hairpins, earrings, necklaces, several A pair of gold bracelets hollowed out with gold threads, put a box full, giving people a feeling of resplendent and resplendent at a glance.

It is indeed very expensive.

But in terms of extravagance, if it is converted into silver, it is only two or three hundred taels, and the style of this golden jade head is obviously the style that was popular in the capital two years ago.

Now which noble daughter, if she goes out with such an outdated appearance, she might be laughed at to death.

"Prince Rui is still betrothed to young lady, young and old. Why is it not as respectable as Prince Chu's Mansion? In addition to the land deed of the shop, Prince Chu's Mansion also discounted 100 taels of silver. I have never seen Prince Rui so stingy," Ning Er said with a look on his face. Great way.

Murong Jiujiu didn't respond, and closed the box, "It doesn't matter, if your lady and I make a fortune by repaying the gift, I would have starved to death already, but I have to leave the mansion as soon as possible to get the gold and jade. Give it to me as a head, otherwise this thing will become worthless the more you let it go."

"Yes, ma'am."

Just looking at the two boxes in front of her to return the gift, Murong Jiujiu's heart was not as calm as it looked on the surface, because she knew that if she didn't make a move, it would be fine, as long as she made a move, it would definitely draw Su Shi's attention.

I'm afraid Su Shi, who has lost face, is wishing for her to die right now.

But since Murong Jiujiu decided to make a move, he naturally had his own thoughts in his heart.

……

Day two.

As soon as the day dawned, Ning'er pushed aside Murong Jiujiu's tent, and said with a smile.

"Miss, get up quickly. Just now, Chuntao from the old lady's room came to send a message, saying that you should go to Shou'an Hall for early writing. It seems that the old lady still has you in her heart."

Murong Jiujiu opened his eyes and smiled lazily.

"I don't know if there is any, I just know that the five taels of silver I put into Nanny Gui's arms yesterday was really worth it, and there will be echoes today."

Originally, she was the last person who didn't like giving people peace of mind. During the three days of travelling, she never greeted anyone, but thinking about the purpose of going to Shou'an Hall today, Murong Jiujiu got up obediently.

The second-class maidservants cleaning outside the house brought copper basins for cleansing face one after another. After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Murong Jiujiu was pushed in front of the dressing table again, and after some grooming, he was done.

"I don't want to bring this jade hairpin, it's a burden, don't you think it's good if it's so refreshing?" Murong Jiujiu politely rejected Ning'er's recommended jewelry for her, and stood up with a smile.

Ning'er pouted, "Miss, you are almost reaching the age of Ji, how good is it that you always look so plain? Look at the second and third misses, each of them can't wait to have their hair full of flowers."

Murong laughed noncommittal for a long time.
