Chapter 294 Son-in-law (one more)
Chu Yi's thin lips parted lightly, and was about to speak, when a man from Zhen's Yinzhuang greeted him enthusiastically and greeted, "This son, and two aunts..."
When the man saw Anle on the wheelchair, he stammered and recognized that it was the eldest princess.
Seeing that the eldest princess didn't bring the palace maids, inner servants, and imperial guards from that day, the man suddenly realized: Could it be that this is the private interview in the drama?
He was instantly awe-inspiring and said respectfully: "Three distinguished guests, please come in."
The man ordered the servant to inform Miss Zhen that a distinguished guest was coming, and at the same time he called a girl in Tsing Yi to entertain the guest with him.
"Please follow me to the private room in the back hall."
Facing the eldest princess, the girl's smile was a little restrained. She took the initiative to help Anle's wheelchair and led the three to the private room in the back hall of the shop. At the same time, she looked at Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei calmly, guessing this. identity of the two.
Yinzhuang is in good order. Ordinary guests can look at jewelry in the front hall outside, regular customers and distinguished guests can enter the private room in the back hall, and there is a place for female guests on the second floor.
The female guy led them on the way and introduced them to the silver house, and soon led the three to the elegant room in the back hall.
The three walls of the elegant room have opened windows, and the light is bright. A complete set of rosewood tables and chairs, coffee tables, and high-footed flower tables are spotless and elegant. There are also four flowers and birds representing spring, summer, autumn and winter on the walls. The pictures, flowers and birds are drawn vividly and vividly on the paper.
Seeing An Le and Gu Yanfei take a second look, the female guy said with a bit of pride, "This is what our girl drew."
"This parrot is so well drawn!" An Le pointed to the colorful parrot on one of the paintings and told Gu Yanfei, "Sister, my father... My father also raised such a parrot."
"Smiled." A refreshing female voice replied with a smile, "We make jewelry, and learning to draw flowers and birds is the basic skill."
A girl wearing a blue-blue treasure vase with eight treasures pattern and a head and face inlaid with gold and jade walked hurriedly towards An Le and Gu Yanfei.
She is about sixteen or seventeen years old. She is only handsome in appearance and thin in shape. Her neat steps are a bit shrewd and capable.
At the same time as she spoke, a woman brought tea and snacks in a swift manner, and a few female servants served several trays respectfully.
The trays are all covered with red velvet cloth, and there are pieces of jewelry made of red gold. The first tray has a ruby head, the second tray is a lapis lazuli stone, and the rest have pearl heads, gold inlaid jade heads, Red coral head and so on.
Distraction, hairpins, step shakes, earrings, rings, collars, temples and other jewelry, everything is available, at a glance, the jewels are dazzling.
An Le took a jade hairpin from the tray and looked at it, and asked casually, "Miss Zhen, how is the peony distraction I mentioned last time?"
"It's almost done, and it's almost finished. I wanted to wait until it was completely done before showing it to His Highness." Miss Zhen replied graciously, and ordered the female buddy to get the peony as a distraction. .
Soon, the female guy brought a new tray. On the tray, there was a peony and bird pattern inlaid with gold and silk, which was distracting, and the pearl was shining brightly.
"Sister, does it look good?" An Le grabbed Gu Yanfei's wrist and smiled brightly, "I thought of this distraction, tell Miss Zhen, she drew a drawing on the spot for me to see, the real thing is better than the drawing ."
"It looks good." Gu Yanfei praised with a smile, "Miss Zhen's craftsmanship is really good."
This girl Zhen is generous and shrewd, and she also knows how to use new jewelry to lead the princess to come back.
What her elder sister said back then, she didn't have ten thousand minds, but she couldn't manage so many things!
"Thank you for your compliment." Miss Zhen smiled even more, pointing to the golden silk inlaid Nanzhu peony and bird pattern, "It's Your Highness's ingenuity, and this bird pattern is the pattern on the skirt of the day I took photos of His Highness. drawn."
"The only thing missing is the bead in the luan bird's beak, and the stamens of the peony flowers are not ready yet."
"I also painted the matching bracelet and gold collar, but it's not ready yet. After three days, the whole set of head and face is ready. Your Highness may send someone to fetch it."
The more Miss Zhen talked, the happier Anle became, and she couldn't put it down and played with the golden distraction on her hand.
"Your Highness, would you like to wear it for a try?" Miss Zhen suggested observantly, "Just to see if there is anything that needs to be changed."
An Le nodded and smiled at Gu Yanfei with a little coquettishness, "Sister, put it on for me."
Gu Yanfei agreed, and the intimacy and familiarity between the two of them came out naturally.
Lady Zhen looked on with a smile on her face, wondering in her heart that this unknown girl might be a princess in the clan. After all, everyone knew that the emperor had only the only daughter of the eldest princess.
Gu Yanfei carefully put the red gold distraction on An Le's head, then picked up a mercury mirror on the table and asked her to look in the mirror.
The ten-year-old girl was at the age of loving beauty, so she helped Fu Na Chijin to be distracted, turned to look at Chu Yi, and wanted to ask him if he looked good.
Chu Yi was also looking at jewelry. He picked a red gold temple flower from a certain tray and made it in the shape of a water lily. The petals were as thin as foil, trembling, and the yellow agate was the core, which was exquisite.
With a slight movement of his hand, the layers of golden petals rustled, radiating brilliance.
The light of red gold reflected his eyes.
"Big……"
An Le only uttered a word, when he heard a vigorous male voice from the front hall outside: "Where's Ruzhu? Is her gengtie ready?"
An Le blinked and looked at Miss Zhen, remembering that her name was Ruzhu, so she asked curiously, "Are you going to get married?"
"No." Zhen Ruzhu smiled and shook her head slightly stiffly.
The guy in the front hall said in a cramped voice: "Master, our girl wants to entertain a distinguished guest..."
"Forget it, I'll find her myself." Master Zhen said in an unquestionable tone.
While talking, a man and a woman forcefully pushed the guy and rushed into the back hall. The door curtain was rudely raised by the visitor, and then fell again, with a shudder.
The middle-aged man who broke into the back hall was about forty years old. He was wearing a Tai Shiqing straight jacket. He was short and stout with a general belly. Black mole, a bit mean face.
The woman's eyes fell on Zhen Ruzhu, and she looked up and down with a bit of disgust, "Are you Zhen Ruzhu?"
As she spoke, her eyes swept across the golden and jade jewelry on the tray, her eyes lit up again, and a greedy light flashed in her eyes.
The woman raised her chin arrogantly, and without waiting for Zhen Ruzhu to reply, she shrugged her handkerchief, and said sharply, "It's okay to match my noble brother."
Master Zhen walked to the center of the room with his head held high, pointed at the woman and introduced, "Ruzhu, this is the matchmaker invited by the man, and also his cousin and aunt, who came to exchange for Gengtie."
"Hurry up and get the Geng Tie."
Master Zhen ordered Zhen Ruzhu as a matter of course, with the elders being bossed at the younger ones, his voice was like thunder.
An Le frowned unhappily, she didn't like people making noises the most.
Zhen Ruzhu explained in a low voice, "That's my uncle. He said that my life is too hard, that my parents are not my mother, my brothers are not my sisters..."
Her words ended with a faint sigh and did not say more.
Gu Yanfei put down the mercury mirror in his hand and glanced at Zhen Ruzhu lightly.
This look was transparent and quiet, and Zhen Ruzhu's heart trembled when she saw it, she felt as if she couldn't hide her thoughts from the other party.
Zhen Ruzhu's eyes wandered for a while, bit her lower lip slightly, and lowered her head, avoiding Gu Yanfei's gaze.
She did not expect the eldest princess to come to the shop today, but she already knew that the uncle would come. Yesterday, my uncle came here and said that he had found a son-in-law for her and asked her to prepare the Geng Tie. He would exchange geng Tie with the man's matchmaker today.
Therefore, seeing the eldest princess coming in in a guise, she thought that her uncle had never seen the eldest princess, so she had the idea of taking advantage of the situation, and told the man in advance to deliberately condone her uncle and the matchmaker rushing into the back hall.
Zhen Ruzhu took a deep breath, straightened her waist and took a few steps forward, her eyes met Mr. Zhen, and said calmly, "Uncle, I said yesterday that I won't marry."
Master Zhen frowned, stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "Your father has become so ill, you can't help your father and mother, I finally found you a door-to-door son-in-law with the same eight characters to resolve your fate, you Still getting angry!"
The woman was also unhappy, and said, "My nephew is a talented person, and I have read books for several years. If it wasn't for your uncle's face, he wouldn't be willing to come to the house as a son-in-law."
"Master said, when you become a relative soon, your father's illness will naturally be cured..."
"I have a father, so my marriage won't be decided by a split uncle." Zhen Ruzhu interrupted the woman coldly.
"The most poisonous woman's heart!" Master Zhen sighed and shook his head, "Your father is too soft-hearted and used to you, he should have adopted an heir long ago."
"Sooner or later, the daughter is a foreigner, and the girl is outgoing, so the heir can be trusted."
After a pause, Master Zhen's tone became tougher, and he said decisively: "This marriage is decided by the clan, if you dare to object, you can get rid of the clan, and you will not be affected by your life. "
Exclude the family? ! Zhen Ruzhu's pupils shrank slightly, the blood on her face faded, and her nails sank deeply into her tender palms.
Clan is the root of a person, and all those who have been eliminated from the clan must have committed great deeds before being expelled by the clan chief.
Once removed from the clan, it means that the person's character is flawed, and it is not easy for a woman to inherit the family business.
For so many years, Daddy has been dragging out his son and nephew in the clan, but he has not fallen out with the clan, which is why.
