Chapter 168 Two Qing Dynasty
Jiang Zhixia naturally didn't know that a girl misunderstood her relationship with Chu Mufeng and cried in tears.
After she got home, she also became busy.
On the third day of the September 19th, Chu Tiankuo brought a box and handed it to Jiang Zhixia.
After Jiang Zhixia opened it in confusion, she found a thick stack of silver notes inside.
She was shocked and wanted to return it to Chu Tiankuo, but was stopped.
"This is 40,000 taels of silver from Zhu Cuilou's mercury. I know that after you gave me the silver notes and went to Yazhou to buy Mumianhua, there was not much silver left. The bonus silver notes you received last time were probably used to buy dowry, right? I wanted to give more, but I was afraid that you would refuse me for a long time. The silver notes I had given you before were 60,000 taels. You added them to the box of money and wanted to get a good wish."
Chu Tiankuo explained in detail.
When he saw Jiang Zhixia disagreed, he wanted to open his mouth to refuse, so he stopped him and said, "Don't refuse. Zhu Cuilou is yours. This is also your own money. And this is a good intention, so he must accept it."
In order to avoid Jiang Zhixia's refusal, he even looked serious.
Seeing Chu Tiankuo's look of indifference, Jiang Zhixia had no choice but to accept it first-----at least, it would be deducted from the dividend silver bill in the future.
In the next two days, Chu Tiankuo didn't deliver anything. He just came to see Jiang Zhixia every day, and then continued to work hard after saying some words.
Starting from the sixth day of the September 19th, Jiang Zhixia stayed at home and stopped going out again.
Mrs. Lin often comes to help, arranges all kinds of trivial matters such as preparing for marriage for the villagers.
When Mrs. Lin came to help in the third year of the junior high school, Jiang Zhixia remembered what happened at the flower viewing banquet at Princess Chengping the day before.
So she couldn't help asking Mrs. Lin why she asked her to accept such a valuable gift at that time?
"You kid, Tian Kuo is right. He said you are extremely smart and very sincere, but you think less about other people's intentions."
When Mrs. Lin heard Jiang Zhixia’s question, she did not answer immediately, but instead smiled and joked.
Jiang Zhixia lowered her head embarrassedly. She really doesn't understand the subtext. She can't learn this.
"You saved the young master of the eldest princess's mansion that day. Everyone saw this. If the princess' mansion did not express it, it would be extremely bad for the princess' mansion. So in the hall, I asked you to thank the princess' mansion. That would also be the reputation of the princess' mansion that will repay the kindness of the princess' mansion."
Mrs. Lin first explained the matter of asking Jiang Zhixia to accept gratitude in front of everyone.
Jiang Zhixia nodded in enlightenment.
No one is a good reputation for knowing one's kindness but not repaying one's kindness. No wonder the eldest princess's mansion is so persistent.
"You don't lack money---not to mention anything else, there are not a few bets for broad-minded people. However, it is true that you don't have a clear background."
Mrs. Lin said apologetically to Jiang Zhixia.
Even if she was a little embarrassed to talk about her shortcomings in front of others, she would be a little embarrassed.
"This is indeed a fact." Jiang Zhixia nodded again. This is indeed a fact and there is nothing to tell.
When Mrs. Lin saw Jiang Zhixia's unstoppable appearance, she smiled with relief.
"So, I originally thought that the eldest princess would give you some unavailable jewelry so that you can be more decent and more glorious when you get married, and raise your value."
When Mrs. Lin saw Jiang Zhixia listening carefully, she couldn't help but say more details.
"Tiankuo and Lao Chu naturally would not mind these identities. However, in the future, if you become a third-rank maid, you will always go out to interact. These families of officials will be a little disgusted. If the eldest princess raises your value, it will naturally make people look up to you. So, I asked for this reward for you."
"Thank you, my wife, for being considerate." Jiang Zhixia said gratefully.
When she didn't expect these things, Mrs. Lin thought of them and even helped her do them.
Although I love the house and the Ugly, she is the real beneficiary.
"Don't be polite to me." Mrs. Lin replied with a smile.
Instead, she became serious again.
"I just didn't expect that the eldest princess would want to repay this kindness so much. Not only did she agree to reward you with jewelry to make you face, but she also attended your wedding with the eldest lady. She even gave you an invaluable phoenix crown, and asked the Shangyi Bureau to make a new wedding dress for you."
Jiang Zhixia nodded. She didn't expect that the eldest princess would give her so much reward.
"However," said Mrs. Lin again, "this matter is probably the case. There is no need to talk more in the future."
Jiang Zhixia looked at Mrs. Lin in confusion. She didn't understand what she meant.
"The eldest princess is so proud of you, and that means that this life-saving grace has been repaid. In the future, you can't use this life-saving grace to repay you with your kindness."
Jiang Zhixia was really surprised this time.
Of course, she had no intention of asking for gratitude. However, the princess's mansion was afraid that she would do this, but she didn't say it clearly, but there were so many twists and turns?
This noble man in the capital was indeed full and had nothing to do when he was full, so he was just thinking about it.
When Mrs. Lin saw Jiang Zhixia in surprise, her serious face couldn't help but laugh again, and she solved her doubts more carefully.
"In theory, if you have the favor of the eldest princess, the female relatives in the families of noble officials will want to interact with you. However, when you are about to get married, you really come to add makeup and give gifts to you. Isn't there no noble girl?"
Jiang Zhixia thought about it carefully and it was true.
On the third day of the junior high school, Lin Qiushui sent a maid to give her a makeup gift, saying that she lived in Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion and it was not so convenient to go out.
This is one, but there are no other people. In other words, the neighbors in the alley gave gifts.
"They are smart." Mrs. Lin said with a smile, "After inquiring about the princess's mansion, they knew that the princess' mansion wanted to take advantage of this time to repay the favor of saving his life at once. Therefore, they realized that it was not of great value to interact with you."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Lin smiled bitterly again.
I originally thought that I would not charge huge silver notes, but simply collect two pieces of jewelry, which would help them build a backer.
Unexpectedly, the Princess's Mansion was so rational. He took this opportunity to repay the favor directly with great fanfare.
Yes, Princess Chengping has gone through three dynasties after all.
"This life-saving grace is forgotten. The kindness and affection are cleared. In the future, you should not count on this."
Mrs. Lin finally summarized and said in an ordinary way.
"Okay. I know. Thank you for your consideration for me."
Jiang Zhixia said gratefully. When she didn't understand, Mrs. Lin wanted to help them fight for the greatest rights.
"I didn't take it seriously at first. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. It's always good to save people."
Jiang Zhixia explained what she thought.
"It is of course the best thing you have this idea." Mrs. Lin said with relief.
