- Xu Luo was alone in the room, thinking for a long time.
"Don't get too close to the princes"
Xu Luo murmured softly, raised his eyebrows, and thought to himself: Could it be that the water in the imperial capital has become muddy recently, allowing a few princes to see an opportunity? Started to jump up and down secretly again?
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Luo's mouth, and he thought to himself: I guess the one who dances the most happily is the sixth prince, right?
On the surface, he is diligent and kind-hearted, but secretly he uses all kinds of tricks.
" In comparison, the prince is the calmest one, but the emperor doesn't seem to like the prince particularly.
Xu Luo shook his head slightly and said to himself: The royal family's affairs have nothing to do with me. It's their business how they want to bother with it. What does it have to do with me?
Of all the men in the royal family, Xu Luo only recognized the eldest prince, and the eldest prince was the one with the least chance of competing for the throne.
Therefore, Xu Luo didn¡¯t take Dean Zhou Liang¡¯s words to heart very much.
Back home, although the Xu Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, the joy on people's faces was not strong.
The master Xu Ji and the eldest son Xu Su are both on the front line, and the wife has returned to the master's door. Now the Xu family only has two owners, Xu Luo and Lianyi. Therefore, the entire Xu family is slightly deserted, far less lively than the other big families.
When Xu Luo saw Lianyi, he saw her worrying about a notebook.
"Sister, what are you worried about?" Xu Luo walked over with a smile.
Lianyi raised her head, saw Xu Luo, gave a gentle smile, and shook her head slightly: "It's okay, I'm just worried about what to give as a New Year's gift Huh? Where did you find this kitten? So beautiful!¡±
As Lianyi said, she happened to see a kitten's head sticking out of Xu Luo's pocket. Its blue eyes looked extremely deep and adorable.
"Uh I picked it up on the street. I liked it very much, so I brought it back" Xu Luo pushed Miaomiao's head back and said with a smile.
"Ahhhhh! Bastard! How dare you say that to Uncle Meowth! Do you dare to press Mr. Cat's head? Human being, don't you want to live anymore?" Mr. Meowth was immediately annoyed, and in Xu Luo screamed in his mind.
"The power of the stars!" Xu Luo has now learned to use sound transmission to communicate with meow. He doesn't talk much and only uses four words to defeat the angry cat master.
"Haha, the little guy is really sensible." Seeing that Xu Luo pushed the kitten's head back and then didn't come out again, Lianyi said with a smile without thinking too much.
"Damn the cat is the Sky-Swallowing Raccoon! It's the Sky-Swallowing Raccoon! It's a powerful ninth-order spirit beast! It's not a cat! Meow ahhhh! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Uncle Meow Meow said angrily: "What's so good about this little girl? She's not as good-looking as a female Sky-Swallowing Raccoon!"
"" Xu Luo had black lines on his head and was too lazy to pay attention to this guy.
He smiled and said to Lianyi: "You don't need to give something too expensive for New Year's gifts, as long as you express your feelings. By the way, what are you giving to your future sister-in-law?"
The future sister-in-law in Xu Luo's mouth was a marriage arranged by his brother Xu Su since he was a child. There were also people in the woman's family who were officials in the court. They were prominent for a while and could be regarded as a distinguished family in the court.
The in-laws of the Xu family, whose surname is Xia, have been mainly engaged in business for generations, and their family is also far away in Hongcheng in the south.
Speaking of which, this marriage was decided by Xu Luo¡¯s grandfather, the old general Xu Dingcheng!
Xu Dingcheng and Xia Dade, the old head of the Xia family, are sworn brothers and have a life-and-death relationship.
Xia Dade also served in the army when he was young. In a battle, he blocked a cold arrow for Xu Dingcheng and was almost shot to death.
It is precisely because of this arrow that Xia Dade, who originally had a bright future, had to retire from the army and return to his family to take over as the head of the family and take charge of the family business.
The old man Xu Dingcheng felt guilty about this incident for many years. Later, when Xu Su was born and Xia Dade came to congratulate him, he expressed his intention to marry the Xu family. The old man settled the matter without saying a word.
Back then, the brothers in the army, who were brothers in life and death, did not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for their comrades. This kind of friendship was too great and too heavy!
Now, because there is no one in the family in the court, in order for the family to continue to prosper, I have to be shameless and tell my old comrades: I want to marry your family and protect my descendants.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????In this case, can the old man refuse? Can you bear to refuse? Will you refuse?
Although Luo Xinlan can understand, she is still a little depressed in her heart. She often tells her husband Xu Ji that the old man is too domineering.
Until I met the Xia family¡¯s daughter later, so I don¡¯t nag anymore.
That girl, although she is not a beautiful girl, is well-educated, has a noble temperament, and has a gentle and pleasant temperament. Although he comes from a business family, he doesn't smell like copper at all.
The most important thing is that such a girl from a southern water town has an unusual talent in business!
When he was sixteen years old, he took over almost half of the family business and ran it successfully. Now he has almost taken over all the family business.
Such a woman who can be called a strong woman never appears in public, so there are not many people who know that she is the person in charge of the Xia family!
In Xu Luo's eyes, this future sister-in-law has the feeling of "strategizing and winning a thousand miles".
Therefore, although Xu Luo has only met his future sister-in-law once, he likes her very much. In previous years, his mother prepared the gifts. This year, his mother is not here, and Xu Luo is afraid that Ripples will miss something.
"I am also having a headache about this matter. You see, in comparison, the Xia family is actually much richer than our family, so it is difficult to give this giftMy mother also worries about this matter every year. This year It's my turn."
Lianyi said with some distress: "You want to give the famous jewelry, rouge and gouache in the Imperial Capital, right? People don't lack those things, and besides, they can be bought with money. Let's give them calligraphy and paintings by famous people Recently, the Imperial Capital has issued calligraphy and calligraphy. Almost all calligraphy and painting shops have been affected by such an incident"
After hearing this, Xu Luo couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. The impact of the calligraphy incident was so great that it had already spread outside. Even the business of calligraphy and painting shops was affected.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? by People Don¡¯t even dare to write some calligraphy, for fear that someone will doubt them.
The thing is like this, even if the heads of the wealthy families who received the letter knew what was going on, they could not directly target the powerful Prime Minister Wei.
And those subordinates who speculate on their superiors will naturally focus on those famous calligraphers and painters Those who conduct overt and covert investigations also take the opportunity to suppress political opponents and dissidents, which makes people panic.
¡°After all, these famous calligraphers and painters have inextricably linked relationships with the upper class, and they are usually guests of major wealthy families.
"Sister, how about this? Just wait, I'll get something over here, you can see if it's okay." Xu Luo said, turned around and walked out.
There was a bit of doubt in Ripple's eyes. She didn't know what good things Xu Luo could come up with.
After a while, Xu Luo came back with two wooden boxes, handed them to Ripples, and said: "Inside these two wooden boxes, one is an old medicine. Although Grandpa Xia's arrow wound was healed, it was left behind. The root of the disease, this medicine should be able to completely eliminate the root of Grandpa Xia¡¯s disease. In this other box, there are several pieces of jewelry. You can open them and take a look. They are for my sister-in-law and his mother. Do you think they are suitable? "
Xu Luo said, and then added: "By the way, these things are said to be given by my eldest brother"
Lianyi glanced at Xu Luo strangely and said to herself: When did my young master become so enlightened? Not only did he know how to give girls jewelry, but he also knew how to think about his brother?
"Ah!" When he opened the wooden box containing the jewelry, Lianyi couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Thiswhere did this come from? It's so beautiful!" "
A phoenix hairpin carved from the finest red jade. The phoenix on it is lifelike, with bright feathers and fluttering wings.
The red jade is crystal clear and the carving is extremely fine. You can tell it was made by everyone at first glance, and it is not sold on the market at all!
Its value can be imagined!
A necklace of black pearls, each bead is round and shiny, uniform in size, and exudes a cold aura. It is obviously not an ordinary pearl.
A white metal necklace with a sapphire pendant hanging underneath. After looking at it for a long time, Lianglii realized that the necklace was made of expensive white rainbow fine gold, which would emit colorful and dreamlike light under the sunlight.
And the blue gem below is deep and transparent, shining like a star.
There is also a string of top-quality green jadeite bracelets, crystal clear, exuding natural greenery, and extremely moist!
These four pieces of jewelry, not to mention being given to the Xia family, even if they are given to the royal family, they will be treated as treasures!
If an ordinary person gets one of these, they will immediately hide it as a valuable heirloom passed down from generation to generation. It is an absolute family heirloom!
Then, Lianyi opened another wooden box and looked at the old medicine in Xu Luo's mouth. She opened her lips slightly and stared blankly for a long time before closing the wooden box with a snap.
"Xiao Luo A while ago, several family warehouses in the imperial capital were looted"
Xu Luo couldn¡¯t help but reveal the corners of his mouthWith a wry smile, he knew that as long as he took out these things, Ripple would definitely think of something.
Butthis matter has nothing to do with him.
"I didn't do it." Xu Luo shook his head firmly.
"It's Master Cat! It's Master Meow Meow! After meowing these are all Master Cat's things! You give away Master Cat's things, Master Cat feels so sorry for me!" Meow Meow endured again He couldn't stand it any longer and bombarded Xu Luo's ears.
Lianyi glanced at Xu Luo with confusion, but without asking any questions, she closed the wooden box and said, "With these gifts, I believe our family will finally have the upper hand this year!"
"Uh" Xu Luo glanced at Lianyi and thought to himself: Competition is really everywhere!
The same is true even if it is a family friend or a family with a good family relationship.
Every year when the New Year is approaching, the Xia family always sends a large number of gifts, usually from dozens of cars to dozens of cars.
From jewelry and jade to silk and satin, we have almost everything!
In comparison, there really aren¡¯t that many things that the Xu family can get their hands on.
So every year, the Xia family always takes the cake when it comes to gifts.
This is actually easy to understand. In terms of political status, the Xu family is far higher than the Xia family. In order to prevent their daughter from being discriminated against when she marries to the Xu family in the future, the Xia family can only spend money They don't want to be stunned, they just want to marry. good karma.
¡°After all, the Xia family has put a lot of effort into this daughter¡¯s marriage.
At this time, Lianyi came back to her senses and stared at Xu Luo without saying a word, just looking at him with resentment in her eyes.
Xu Luo was a little confused before, but then he finally realized that he had given such good jewelry to his future sister-in-law, but the closest person around him, Ripple had been forgotten!
It was dark under the lampXu Luo swore that he never meant it.
In the end, I had to bite the bullet and said: "Thisthatahem, sister, I have a few pieces of jewelry, I believe you will like"
With that said, Xu Luo ran away.
Behind him, the girl's bright eyes were full of energy, and a flower-like smile slowly bloomed on her delicate face. - Didn't finish reading?
