Chapter 462 Getting Drunk
There are calligraphy and paintings, unique books, ornaments, and coral and jade trees that are taller than a human being. None of the things here are vulgar, they are all valuable or rare, hard to find, and soon to be out of print.
It used to be more than this. When Chu Jiahui got married, she gave a batch to Chu Jiahui as dowry, but now only a small part is left.
But this small amount is already a lot.
Xia Zihan touched the vase on the shelf. It was an elegant porcelain that was about to be out of print. This one was worth three hundred taels of silver.
There were also hundreds of unique copies, which made Xia Zihan dizzy.
In the previous life, these orphan copies had all entered the Song family's warehouse.
In her previous life, she had been here several times. At that time, she didn't know what was good or bad. She just saw these antique calligraphy and painting porcelain and thought they were ordinary. There was nothing precious about them. It was because she didn't like them. of.
She thought it was not good. After her grandmother died, Song Huai said it would be given to him, so she stupidly gave it to him.
Now that I think about it, she is really stupid.
She focused all her attention on Song Huai, but she didn't have the most basic common sense. She was really hopelessly stupid.
"Yu Niang, look, what would be a good gift?" Mrs. Zeng walked around in the warehouse, but couldn't make up her mind about what to give.
It was the first time that the son-in-law came to deliver a gift, so he should do what he liked, but the second princess liked flowers and plants, so she couldn't let Yuexi bring a pot of flowers, right?
Xia Zihan rolled his eyes, pointed to the bookshelf, and said, "Grandma, I heard that the second princess likes to read some rare and unique books. How about choosing one for her?"
"Well, the gift is heavy but not eye-catching..."
Zeng agreed.
Xia Zihan chose one, and then picked a piece of top-quality topaz, planning to give it to the second prince.
"The little prince and the little princess are also indispensable," Ms. Zeng reminded.
When the grandfather and grandson left the warehouse, they held a bunch of things in their hands. They were all small, inconspicuous, and precious things.
Chu Yuexi changed her duties in the afternoon. When she came back in the afternoon and heard about this, she jumped up for joy and asked Xia Zihan to quickly choose some clothes for him and what he would wear to see the second prince and the second princess tomorrow.
"Those boys don't have good taste and they don't know how to choose. Sister, please help me. When this is done, I will invite you to a feast at Juxianglou."
Chu Yuexi kept her attitude low.
Xia Zihan pursed her lips and smiled, then went to his yard and helped him choose a crescent white brocade robe, a belt embroidered with green bamboo, a piece of blue and white jade, and a white jade hairpin on his head. .
Chu Yuexi has fair skin, a long and delicate face, red lips and white teeth, and is unparalleled in elegance. If she puts on white brocade clothes, she will look like an immortal walking out of a painting, making people forget to breathe.
The reason why she chose white for Chu Yuexi was one reason and another.
"They are all white, Chu Yu. The second princess likes white?" Chu Yuexi looked at the clothes Xia Zihan found and frowned.
Xia Zihan said, "Ao Tianchen likes to wear white." She had seen him several times when she went to the Second Prince's Mansion.
The second princess’s precious son likes to wear white, so if Chu Yuexi wears white, the second princess will also feel friendly, right?
When Chu Yuexi heard this, she became silent.
The next day, Chu Yuexi took a day off and went to the Second Prince's Mansion.
Zeng and Xia Zihan were anxiously waiting for news at home. When it was past noon, they did not see Chu Yuexi come back. Zeng frowned.
Logically speaking, after looking at her son-in-law for a few times and asking questions, the second princess should let Chu Yuexi come back. Why hasn't he come back after being gone for a long time?
"Maybe he was kept in the Second Prince's Mansion to eat by the Second Prince." Xia Zihan guessed.
If you like this, then you will be the prospective son-in-law. The father-in-law and son-in-law will naturally get closer to each other.
What's more, the Second Prince's Mansion and the Chu family have always been on good terms, and the Second Prince is a reasonable man, so he will still give this little favor to the Chu family.
Mrs. Zeng was still worried, so she sent a servant to the Second Prince's Mansion to inquire. Xia Zihan said, "Then let Chu Cong go. Chu Cong has been the master of Princess Qinghui for a few days and is familiar with the Second Prince's Mansion. ”
Xia Zihan ordered Chu Lin to go to Xia's house to exchange Chu Cong back, and also told her, "Tell Chu Cong to let her..."
"I understand, Master." Chu Lin chuckled and ran away.
In the past two days, with Chu Xing following Xia Ziying, she did not monitor Xia Ziying in the past. I heard that Mrs. Xu got angry in the shop that day and scolded Xia Ziying when she returned.
It turns out that when Mrs. Xu went back to the shop to get clothes, it was Xia Ziying who encouraged her. Xia Ziying said that Mrs. Xu just needed to take away the clothes and let the boy go and ask for the money from the Xia family's steward. If the Xia family's steward didn't give it, Xia Ziying would Han didn't have the nerve to go to Mrs. Xu and ask for the clothes back.
Xia Zihan is the princess, and she can't afford this person to do such a petty matter.
Xia Ziying was sure of Xia Zihan's good-natured temperament, but she didn't expect that the clerk in Yusha Pavilion was so shrewd that she would not let Xu take away her clothes at all costs, and even made Xu suffer humiliation and was killed by Princess Qinghui. He pointed at his nose and scolded him.
Mrs. Xu got angry outside and scolded Xia Ziying when she came back.
Xia Ziying also hates him, she hates Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan has so much money on hand, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. She is her biological sister and she is getting married. Why can't Xia Zihan give her some money?
Even if you don't give her any money, it's okay to give her some clothes as a dowry, right?
There are so many clothes in Yusha Pavilion, why can't Xia Zihan give her a few?
She hated Xia Zihan for being so stingy, and her heart ached with hatred.
Originally...
She originally wanted to get some money and clothes from Xia Zihan, but now, there was no chance.
Even if she wants to run away, she has no plate, no clothes, nothing. Even if she escapes, what will happen?
Xia Ziying was extremely desperate.
Could it be that she was going to accept her fate and marry that playboy Cao Huajun?
No, she felt sick as soon as she saw his disgusting big teeth. She couldn't marry him, but she couldn't escape...
It would be great if Xia Zihan could help her.
In the evening, Chu Cang and Chu Yuexi came back together. Chu Yuexi's face was red, as if she was very drunk.
Xia Zihan hurriedly asked Qingzhu to help him go back to rest, and then returned to Zeng's house and asked Chu Cong, "Why do you drink so much? Who did you drink with?"
"Reporting to the princess, the old lady drank with the second prince and the young prince." She pursed her lips and added, "When the slave went there, the eldest young master was drunk, and the second prince was asking about the eldest young master's personal affairs."
"What's the personal matter?" Xia Zihan's eyebrows twisted, and his face looked a little ugly.
Chu Cong blushed and whispered, "Ask the eldest young master if he knows any confidants during these years of traveling around the world, if he has any other women in his heart, and if he has ever been to Xinghua Tower or West Street Courtyard."
