Wen Family Has a Wife - Chapter 680

   Chapter 680 Gold Ornaments

   The next day, the masters of the entire Anguo Mansion slept until the sun was up, skipped breakfast, and began to prepare dishes after lunch.

Chen Ningya had just eaten a bird’s nest, and Wen Yuanliang and Zhuo Qianyu, who had a big belly, came with their three children. They had just entered the door with their front feet, and Hu Yiyun also came with a pair of children at the back. The five children gathered together. Talking and laughing, the hall immediately became lively.

  Chen Ningya looked at them with joy in her heart, and instructed with Lan Shu, “Go and bring the box of gold ornaments that the emperor gave yesterday.”

   Zhuo Qianyu and Hu Yiyun were stunned when they heard the words.

Lan Ling explained with a smile on the side: “Yesterday, Eunuch Zhang Xi sent a reward from the palace. In addition to the royal meal, he also gave an extra box of gold, saying that it was given privately by the emperor, and it was not a reward. Madam can do whatever she wants. deal with.”

   Zhuo Qianyu and Hu Yiyun took a breath of air in unison, and exclaimed: “The emperor’s grace is mighty, mother, this is the emperor’s favor for our family!”

  Hu Yiyun nodded in agreement and sighed: “My father and mother’s treatment is estimated to be the first in the capital!”

  Only Wen Yuanliang frowned and looked thoughtful, “Mother, when did the emperor become so generous, and he even sold a box of gold ornaments, why do I feel that something is wrong!”

Chen Ningya shrugged and spread her hands, “Don’t say that you think something is wrong, even I think the emperor has changed his mind! But Eunuch Zhang’s expression doesn’t seem to be a problem, I think about the benefits given in vain. I couldn’t refuse the thing, so I put it away, but I haven’t opened the box yet, and I don’t know what’s inside.”

   said that, Chen Ningya looked at Lan Ling, “Have you met?”

  Lan Ling shook her head decisively, “Madam didn’t tell me, the slaves and maids dare not make decisions without permission. When they are collected, they are directly locked in the warehouse and have never been opened.”

  Chen Ningya nodded in satisfaction.

   After a while, Lan Shu came over with a locked wooden box.

   When Wen Yuanliang saw the box, the corner of his mouth couldn’t help twitching, “Mother, the emperor is really willing to make the box out of high-quality red sandalwood. Did he dig gold and silver mountains?”

  Chen Ningya suddenly looked at him seriously, jokingly, “Maybe this is not the case!”

  Wen Yuanliang, “Mother, I just said, don’t take it seriously.”

  Chen Ningya glanced at him, and arrogantly let Blue Silk open the box, the dazzling golden light almost blinded everyone’s eyes.

Wen Yuanliang rushed over in surprise, frowned slowly, picked up a golden hairpin and observed it carefully for a while, put away his jokes and said solemnly: “Seven green, eight yellow, nine five red, this is absolute red gold, Or is it the existence of extremely high purity in red gold, and the workmanship is also top-notch, mother, these things are priceless in the market, the emperor has dug a gold mine?”

   This time he really wasn’t joking.

  Chen Ningya hurried forward, picked up the things and looked at them for a while, with a solemn face.

   The reaction of the mother and son was so frightening that the children did not dare to speak.

   It took a while for her expression to return to normal, her eyes fell on tenderness and warmth, and she waved to the two of them.

  The two little girls came forward obediently to greet them.

Chen Ningya picked out a pair of butterfly tassel hairpins and a pair of plum blossom folding fan tassel hairpins inlaid with white jade from the box and put them in her hands, and asked the two little girls, “This pattern is suitable for little girls, you can choose a pair for yourself, if If you don’t like it, grandma will look for it again.”

   Gentleness is older than Wenqing. The sensible one turned his head to Gentleness and said generously, “Sister choose first.”

   shook his head tenderly, “Mother said that the elders are in order, elder sister chooses first, and Qinger chooses the rest.”

  Chen Ningya saw that their cousins ​​were so humble, and the smile in her eyes deepened, “Since you don’t want to choose first, why don’t your grandmother decide for you?”

   The two girls nodded in unison, showing no signs of being unhappy.

  Chen Ningya looked at the two girls and said seriously: “Rouer looks graceful and graceful, it is suitable for this pair of white jade plum blossom folding fan tassel hairpin, Qinger is charming and lovely, butterfly tassel hairpin suits your temperament.”

  The two girls both bowed and thanked them, took their gold ornaments, and asked the girls to put them away carefully.

   Zhuo Qianyu and Hu Yiyun looked at each other and smiled, and said, “Mother, you really dote on children, but you’re just a little girl, where do you need such a precious thing.”

  I am afraid that the royal county may not have many gold ornaments of this purity, but the two little girls have more good things than them at such a young age.

  Hu Yiyun nodded and said, “No, Mother has given them enough!”

Chen Ningya hummed proudly: “I don’t care about my own granddaughter, why should I wait for others to care? Besides, I need these things! If I don’t think that there will be many grandchildren born in the future, it’s not good to favor one over the other. , or I can divide everything now!”

Speaking of which, Chen Ningya picked out two more golden hairpins, one was a peony inlaid with jade, and the other was a hibiscus with pearls. She gave the peony style to Zhuo Qianyu and the hibiscus style to Hu Yiyun. Then, he chose an orchid pearl tassel hairpin and gave it to Lan Ling, saying, “Put a box and send it to Miss Alan.”

   Everyone’s eyes widened in surprise.

  Wen Yuanliang raised his eyebrows and asked, “Mother, is the affair between the third child and Miss Alan done?”

  Chen Ningya didn’t hide it from them, and asked Lan Ling to put away the things, and then she said casually: “It was decided last night, and I will tell you now.”

   Wen Yuanliang’s face twitched and he was speechless, “Then when are you going to announce this to the public?”

“What’s the hurry!” Chen Ningya took a sip of tea in a sloppy manner, and leisurely calculated: “The third child still has to participate in the Spring Festival, so I don’t plan to let outsiders know about this before the Spring Festival, it will only increase the conversation of others, Patriarch Mo. I’ll meet with your dad later over there, and we’ll sit down and discuss.”

   Zhuo Qianyu and Hu Yiyun were even more shocked, and couldn’t help asking: “That is to say, the little brother-in-law and the girl Alan have not yet agreed with the patriarch? Is that what you mean?”

  Chen Ningya nodded hesitantly, “Probably, we don’t know!”

“Mother! The third child is your own youngest son anyway. Why do I think he picked it up?” Zhuo Qianyu and Hu Yiyun deeply agreed with Wen Yuanliang’s words, thinking that when they married the two of them, the parents-in-law would It’s not so prudent. It doesn’t matter if you come to the door in person, and you have all the preparations. How can you be so casual when you arrive at the third daughter-in-law’s side?

“What are you talking about!” Chen Ningya glared dissatisfiedly and hummed, “I wanted to be cautious, and wanted to ask someone to propose marriage, but did the third child give me this opportunity? When he entered our house, the first thing he said was that he and Miss Alan had agreed that the two were going to get married, and my father and I were not psychologically prepared at all, so in such a hurry, what do you want me to do?”
