The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 681 Avoiding suspicion (1)
The carved simple and exquisite jewelry box, the unique and elegant "Zhenbao Pavilion" is rubbed with the word "Jingcheng" in the upper left corner.It's not ordinary at first glance.This is the most beautiful jewelry box that Xiao Zhi has seen in more than ten years.She didn't care about blushing for Qingshu's words of blessing, holding the delicate box in her hand, and said in surprise, "This, this is..." However, at this moment, she thought that there was only one jewelry inside, and she never expected it to be a hairpin. , hairpins, headbands, earrings, bracelets and a set of jewelry.

Qing Shu said with a smile, "Put it away, and open it when you come back. I'm hungry right now, take me to dinner."

Xiao Zhi came back to her senses, it would be rude to make guests hungry.She ordered the servant girl to send the jewelry box to Mrs. Xiao, and hurriedly took Qingshu to the dining room for lunch.All the makeup things have to be seen and recorded by the mother, so she didn't look at it and sent it to the mother.

After lunch, Qingshu went back to her room to rest.

Xiao Zhi didn't have time to rest, so Madam Xiao immediately called her over.

In Mrs. Xiao's house, both the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law are there, the married eldest daughter is also holding the youngest son in her arms, and Xiao Lan is also there.

Seeing this battle, Xiao Zhi couldn't help being startled, standing in the middle of the ground and shouting for people one by one.

Mrs. Xiao beckoned her daughter to come closer, and pointed to the jewelry box on the table, "Is this Miss Gu's makeup for you?"

Xiao Zhi was puzzled, but she answered obediently, "Yes, mother."

Mrs. Xiao looked at her daughter, "Do you know what jewelry is inside?"

Xiao Zhi shook her head, "Mother, my daughter doesn't know." She explained the situation when Qingshu was sent out.

Mrs. Xiao straightened her face and looked at her daughter-in-law and daughter present, "You all must remember Miss Gu's thoughts." After finishing speaking, she opened the jewelry box and lifted the brocade cloth covering the top layer.

A set of silver jewelry such as hairpins, hairpins, headbands, earrings, and bracelets came into view, which shocked the first young lady, the second young lady, Xiao Zhi, and Xiao Lan.Miss Xiao, who was holding the baby in her arms, was also surprised.

Xiao Zhi herself was the most surprised, "Mother, this, this...Miss Gu...my daughter thought there was only one jewelry inside, but she took it with peace of mind."

Mrs. Xiao looked at the expressions of her daughter-in-law and daughters one by one, and said, "This is jewelry from the most famous Treasure Pavilion in the capital. Look at the ornaments on this box." Picking up one of the pair of silver hairpins, she pointed at the delicate head of the hairpin. The point below, "Look at the secret note here, you can't go wrong. Zhi'er, this set of silver jewelry is very precious, even more precious than the gold jewelry in your dowry. When you arrive at your husband's house, you must keep it safe and never give it to others. "The implication is that the whole set of jewelry should be brought by the daughter to her husband's house.

Xiao Zhi responded, and asked hesitantly, "Mother, this is too precious, shouldn't my daughter accept it?"

Mrs. Xiao smiled, "Silly Zhi'er, Miss Gu was afraid that you would push her back, so she found such an opportunity to send it out. When Miss Gu gets married, you just show the same intention."

Xiao Lan came forward suddenly, a pair of butterfly bead flowers on one finger, "Mother, isn't this also very precious? Sister Shu gave it to my daughter yesterday."

Only then did Madam Xiao notice the bead flower on her little daughter's head, "What? Miss Gu gave it to you? Mother thought it was from your aunt, so she didn't notice it." Then she took off the bead flower on her daughter's head and looked at it. Look, "Miss Gu has a heart, this is also the jewelry of Zhenbao Pavilion. Although it is a small thing, it is also unique and exquisite. Not to mention the county town, Jinyang City may not be able to buy it."

After hearing this, the eldest young lady hurriedly said to the servant girl behind her, "Go, quickly get the longevity lock around Che'er's neck." I mentioned to you that Ms. Gu put a longevity lock on Che'er's neck. The daughter-in-law didn't think much about it at the time, and she didn't take a closer look at it, but now she doesn't dare to treat it as an ordinary longevity lock." The life lock is a silver one. Thinking that the largest and best silver longevity locks in the jewelry shops in the county town are only six or seven taels of silver, I feel at ease to accept it.

Not long after, the servant girl took the longevity lock.Mrs. Xiao looked it over carefully, and announced that it was also made in Zhenbao Pavilion, and the style was more exquisite than those made in shops in the county.

The Second Young Madam sighed, "Miss Gu really has a heart. She still thought about us in the capital, so she carefully prepared a present. Mother, I have a piece of fine brocade, which was brought back from the south by my father and brother, and was delivered a few days ago. It’s in the daughter-in-law’s hand. I’ll bring it to you later. It’s a bright blue horse of high-quality material, and Ms. Gu will definitely like it.”

Mrs. Xiao nodded in satisfaction, "I have a heart. However, there is no shortage of good fabrics in the mansion. You keep them for yourself, and Mother will arrange for the gift return." It is really that Qingshu is too generous to add makeup. In fact, no one in the relatives has it. Qingshu's big hand.Therefore, Mrs. Xiao thought of returning the gift.Otherwise, there is no rule of returning gifts immediately when someone adds makeup.

Let's talk about Zhu Qianying.When she returned home, she went to look for her father as soon as possible, but she couldn't find him anywhere.At this time, the servant reported that the master had gone out early in the morning and had not returned to the house.She was in a hurry, so she ordered her servants to report to her as soon as her father came back.

Zhu Zhiheng happened to pass by, and slapped his sister on the head, "What's the rush? Didn't you go to Aunt Zhang's house to accompany Cousin Zhi? Before you left, you said you would be back in the evening, and it's only noon, why did you come back?"

Zhu Qianying said nonchalantly, "Second brother, don't knock on the head again, what should I do if I'm stupid?"

Zhu Zhiheng laughed out loud.After laughing enough, he said, "Second brother has a sense of propriety, how could he fool his sister! Tell me, why are you in such a hurry to find dad?"

"Hmph, I won't tell you." Zhu Qianying turned around and left.

Zhu Zhiheng is usually idle, he likes to play around with his companions, and has no interest in obtaining fame or taking over the family business.For this reason, Master Zhu scolded him a lot.Mrs. Zhu was very angry, and occasionally scolded him for being worthless.At this time, he would just play tricks in front of his parents with a playful smile, and when he turned around, he would still play around as usual, often without seeing anyone for a few days.

In the county town, he is a handsome young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, so there are many girls who secretly like him.However, his irresponsible temperament did not appeal to those girls' parents, so he was not married nor engaged.Seeing that his sister ignored him, he just left, raised his eyebrows, and then strode after her. "Qianying, there must be a lot of young masters coming to my uncle's house. Tell my second brother, is there anyone you like?"

Zhu Qianying blushed with anger, and quickened her steps.

Zhu Zhiheng followed behind his younger sister with a playful smile, "Why are you ashamed? If you are interested, you must tell the second brother. The second brother will check for you first, and find out all [-] generations of that person's ancestors. If you are a good Yes, the second brother will ask your parents for you." My younger sister was not a lively person, and she didn't talk much since she was a child.Since retiring from the Zhang family last year, my sister has become more silent and more serious.
