Chapter 1211 Dead End
After Xia Zihan's persuasion, Chu Fei locked herself in the room for a day and night. When she came out, she learned that her marriage had been decided. She blushed and apologized to Xia Zihan in embarrassment, "Master , I’m sorry, I was a slave before and I got into a dead end and couldn’t get out of it for a while.”
"Then you've come out now?" Xia Zihan smiled and looked at her with a half-smile.
Chu Fei's cheeks turned red, he coughed in embarrassment and said, "I have to thank you, Master. If it hadn't been for Master's blow, I'm afraid this slave would have been stuck in a dead end for the rest of his life."
"Now that you've come out, that's good." Xia Zihan smiled, feeling deeply relieved, and told her, "Princess, your marriage has been handed over to Yue Jin and Si Cao. Preparation, if you have any ideas or requirements, you can go to them to discuss it. Also, Mother Cui has a copy of your dowry list. Go over and take a look. If you want to add anything, tell Mother Cui and she will give it to you. You add it.”
She had prepared the dowries for the maids around her early, and the preparations were basically the same. The only difference was that the colors and patterns of some utensils, clothes, and jewelry were different according to their preferences.
Nuanyu and others are all married, and now only Chu Fei's dowry is left in the warehouse. When Chu Fei gets married, Chu Qingming will have to start preparing the dowry for several maids.
Xia Zihan thought for a while and then told Chu Fei, "After you get married, you and your senior brother go back to Sun City. Remember to buy more good things. Chu Qing's girls are getting older. In a few years, they will have to go back to Sun City." Once they are released, it’s time to prepare their dowries.”
Chu Fei's face turned red, but he agreed seriously, "Master, don't worry, in the future, as long as it is a good thing that passes through his hands, the slave will keep it for the master."
This him, of course, refers to the senior brother.
Xia Zihan's expression was stunned. Suddenly, she thought that the eldest brother was not only a member of the Dongfang family, a martial arts family, but also a tyrant among many businessmen in Sun City. If there was Chu Fei beside him, he could control him. , then wouldn’t it open a skylight for her purchasing channels?
Oh, no, because of the relationship between Qi Mei and Senior Brother Dongfang Yi, this skylight has long been opened. Now, Chu Fei is a convenient door.
There is no obstruction, a convenient door leading directly to heaven.
Xia Zihan smiled widely, with the corners of his mouth reaching behind his ears, "It seems that it will be much more convenient to marry you to the senior brother and purchase goods in the future."
Seeing such a wealth-obsessed master, the corner of Chu Fei's mouth twitched, and a faint black line appeared on her face. However, she thought that she could help her master get more and better goods from the senior brother in the future, and there was even hope. After obtaining his purchase route from the eldest brother, she suddenly felt that marrying the eldest brother would be a good idea, at least she would be able to help her little master more and better in the future.
……
After Chu Fei's marriage was decided, Xia Zihan was busy sending New Year's gifts to relatives and friends, including the Chu family, the Xia family, the Second Prince's Mansion, the Liao family, the Dou family, the Zeng family, and Dou Da, Dou, Er, Dou and four others. , you have to prepare a New Year gift to send over.
Oh, by the way, there is also the Lu family.
The Lu family is now the in-laws of the Xia family, and she is the one holding the string, so they should also give them a new year gift.
There are also the Xu family and the Shen family. After these two families took root in Luoye, the capital, they have always had a good relationship with the Chu family. The Chu family will send them a New Year gift every New Year. Normally, fruits and vegetables come down. , will also send a few boxes.
Now, the Xu family and the Shen family have become in-laws. Shen Yu overcame all difficulties and finally married Xu Waner into the Shen family. However, due to Xu Waner's illness, they could not have children within two years. Of course, they can still live a normal married life, but if they want to have children, they are afraid that the disease will be passed on to their children. Therefore, it will take these two years before Xu Waner can give birth to a child.
Fortunately, the ladies of the Shen family are all reasonable people. They are very open-minded about having a grandson two years earlier and two years later, and they do not treat Xu Waner, who is temporarily unable to have children, differently.
"Aqi, tell me, your Majesty, should we send you some New Year's gifts?" Xia Zihan made a list of every family's New Year's goods, and then he thought of Chu Cang.
Chu Cong is now the goddaughter of the Zhuo family, and is the aunt who married from the Anjun Prince's Mansion. Logically speaking, the Anjun Prince's Mansion should also give her a New Year's gift. However, Chu Cang's identity is different after all. Should I give a gift this year or not?
If she gives it away, people will say that she is currying favor with the emperor and queen.
But if she didn't give it away, she would feel sorry for Chu Cong.
There's no reason why you shouldn't care about Chu Cong just because you care about what others think. Chu Cong is pregnant with her daughter-in-law now. It's time to eat more fresh fruits, and the Chu family has a greenhouse orchard. What kind of fruit do you want? ?
Even if the emperor can't eat, she has it here.
"No need to make a list." Chu Jingqi came over, picked up a list of New Year's goods and took a look at it. Seeing that there were several fresh fruits on it that could not be bought outside in the winter, she said, "Prepare a few boxes of fresh grapes. I will send the lychees, pomegranates, and strawberries directly to the palace.”
"Okay." If you don't make a list, it's not a New Year's gift, and it doesn't count as flattery.
It's just a few boxes of fruit, given to my married aunt, who dares to gossip?
Xia Zihan immediately called Chu Qing in and told her, "Go to the big kitchen warehouse and prepare two boxes each of grapes, pomegranates, lychees, and strawberries. In the afternoon, the raw materials will be sent to the palace for the queen and queen mother to eat."
"Ah, strawberries?" Chu Qing was shocked, with a look of reluctance, "Master, there are only four boxes of strawberries. The Xia family, the Chu family, the Shen family, and the Second Prince's Palace each have to send half a box, and the remaining two boxes will be sent to the palace. , we don’t have any food in our house.”
"Then let's go to Zhuangzi for luck again and let Chu Fei...forget it, let's let Chu Qiao and Chuan Qiong go."
Chu Fei has been busy embroidering the dowry these days with her half-empty embroidery skills. She said she wanted to embroider a pair of socks for herself and her senior brother each to wear when they get married.
"Okay, then I'll go get ready now." When Chu Qing saw that the people going to Zhuangzi didn't have her share, her mouth was so pouting that she could lift ten pounds of sesame oil.
Woohoo, she really wants to go play in the orchard on the village in the winter.
Outside there is a vast expanse of white snow, the cold wind is biting, and the snow is flying, but inside the greenhouse made of glazed walls, it is full of spring and full of fruits. The scenery is definitely too beautiful to miss.
She really wanted to see it too.
Chu Qingyou left resentfully, and Xia Zihan picked up the lists and looked at them one by one. After making sure that there were no omissions or mistakes, he told Chu Yun, "Take all these lists and show them to the princess. If the princess says No problem, just take it to the old housekeeper and ask him to send out the New Year’s goods as soon as possible according to the order.”
