I fought back after reselling my engagement
Chapter 78: Falsified Painting
Aunt Bai Qi first praised the person, then took out the silver note for the account, presented the palace silk tribute satin that Princess Jiarou gave to Miss Bai San, and brought back a brocade box, saying that it was the pearls and gems that the princess gave to Miss Bai San.
The ladies and girls in the room were looking at them eagerly. There were indeed six pieces of palace silk. Two of them were for the young girls, and the other four were obviously named after Miss Bai San. They were actually given to the old ladies and ladies to make new clothes. Only older women could carry such colors. The rich and noble Changchun satin and the longevity and happiness silk were only worn by the ladies of the capital to attend banquets. They were rarely seen outside, and could not be bought even if they wanted.
"Third sister, please open the box and see what gift the princess gave you. Let us open our eyes."
Third Miss Bai smiled, and under the anxious gazes of her sisters, she removed the seal and opened the box. On the first layer was a green gem as big as a pigeon egg, which was as beautiful as a spinach. It could be made into a ring face, earrings, or hairpins. It was of extremely beautiful quality, which attracted Old Lady Bai to take a look. "Such a large piece of emerald would cost thousands of taels of silver in the capital."
Miss Bai San narrowed her eyes and opened the second layer, inside which was a pair of huge South China pearls.
Mrs. Bai said, "Mother, the princess is too generous."
"The princess did not treat the third girl as an outsider, but as a close friend. People in the capital said that she was a kind person praised by the emperor. Next time, you can prepare a decent return gift in the name of the third girl."
The third layer is made of top-quality pearls, each one is round and mellow, enough to string together for a necklace.
Mrs. Bai said, "You got the pearls, so share them with your sisters. They can wear them as hairpins with pearls. You are a young girl, and you can't wear emerald jewelry. So give them to your wife as a gift. Just look at the quality of the pearls, and you can see that the princess gave them to your wife in the name of the third lady. The four rolls of imperial tribute silk are also for your wife..."
When Mrs. Bai said this, the old lady's eyes immediately narrowed into slits of joy. "Among them, there are two rolls of imperial tribute silk for men to wear. The princess is a thoughtful person and has thought it through. It must be a gift for the old master and the eldest master."
Miss Bai San received her mother's instructions. She gave the emerald to the old lady and distributed the pearls to the sisters present. The legitimate daughter got four pearls, and the concubine daughter got two. Everyone got a share, but she had to keep the pair of south pearls to make a pair of south pearl hairpins for herself.
The Bai family happily accepted the gift from Zhen Su. During the family dinner at night, the old lady opened a jar of crystal pickles sent by Princess Jiarou and tasted them. The crystal pickles were so beautiful that they looked like pink crystals, one piece after another. A bite of them was salty and sweet, crispy and fragrant.
Aunt Bai Qi praised repeatedly: "This is the crystal pickle made by the princess herself. It is said that it is a secret recipe left by an immortal. I specially gave it to the old lady and the lady to taste."
Mrs. Bai said, "It is indeed a secret recipe of an immortal. It looks so good, I can't bear to eat it."
"Take it out, let's all taste it together, so as not to waste the princess's kindness."
Princess, such a show of goodwill from a prominent family is something that ordinary people have never seen. Even this kindness is enough for the Bai family to show off for a while.
Because of Miss Bai San's friendship with Princess Jiarou, her father, mother, and brother have all been highly valued by the family recently. Her grandparents also value their family. Today, she gave her grandmother an emerald, and her grandmother gave her a box of exquisite jewelry and also gave the perfume and powder shop under her name to Miss Bai San.
The other sisters were so jealous that they stared with their eyes wide open and ruffled their handkerchiefs.
The Bai family had never eaten such good-looking and refreshing food before. It turned out to be kimchi, but it tasted like a tribute delicacy. Everyone praised it for being delicious and said it was a fairy dish.
Zhen Su didn't know about the Bai family's affairs. Today, she received replies from the capital. Letters from the Ninth Princess, Princess Changle, Princess Fanghua, Princess Shouning, Zhou Yiqing, and Rong Yin.
In her letter, the Ninth Princess scolded Zhen Su for being so heartless. She thought she was dead, and she couldn't sleep all night. She also cried in front of her father, the emperor, and her mother, and twice she made her mother cry. But she was safe, and she didn't even write a letter early to report that she was safe.
Princess Changle did not curse, but was glad that she was still alive, saying that those who survived a great disaster would have good fortune in the future.
Princess Fanghua wanted to ask for her calligraphy and painting, saying that she wanted to frame them and keep them as a souvenir.
Princess Shouning was only thirteen years old. She heard from Princess Jiayi that it was actually Princess Jiarou who saved her. Because Jiarou was promoted to Princess, the emperor thought of his niece and thought that since Princess Dekang's daughter was a Princess, Shouning should also be a Princess, which would be more attractive, so he promoted her to Princess.
In Zhou Yiqing's letter, she said that her elder brother was shocked to hear that Princess Jiarou had a strong temper and jumped into the canal because she did not want to be caught and humiliated by the pirates. For many days, he held the book and sighed and shook his head, lamenting the cruelty of fate that such a kind girl should encounter such a thing.
Zhou Yijun borrowed Zhen Su's calligraphy from Zhou Yiqing and never returned it. Zhou Yiqing asked for it twice, but he denied it, "When did I ever borrow my sister's calligraphy? Are you trying to blackmail me for calligraphy? I'll give you two."
Zhen Su read the letter from Jiayi County Princess Rong Yin but didn't understand it.
Zhen Suzhong was confused. Rong Yin said that after Zhen Su jumped into the canal, the old Lord exclaimed: "A wonderful woman of her generation! A heroic woman!" At that time, he looked at Rong Yi meaningfully. Her elder brother had been talking in a trance for several days, leaving early and returning late. One day, he was staring at the painting left by Zhen Su, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Would a real "soft-hearted person" dare to leave without saying goodbye and travel thousands of miles to seek refuge with his grandparents? Would a real "soft-hearted person" dare to jump into the canal instead of crying and begging for mercy when encountering water bandits?
This is not a "softie" at all. She is clearly extremely bold, strong-willed and brave. It is rare to find a woman like her in the boudoir.
After Qiu Rong bought two maids, she lived with them in the small courtyard behind the "Hua Rong Fang" shop. With the company of the three people, Yueyang Prefecture was relatively peaceful in that area. At night, the gates were closed and guarded. A black dog was caught to guard the house. During the day, the three of them were busy in the shop and lived in the back yard at night.
Qiu Ye is now serving Zhen Su, and Zhen Su takes her with him whenever he goes out.
The silver, money and jewelry in Zhen Su's room were managed by Chunjiang, while the clothes, shoes, socks, needles and thread, and cosmetics were managed by Chunyue. Cui handed the indentures of the two maids to Zhen Su. Chunjiang promoted the maids who were in charge of the yard. Chunyue and Qiuye were both older maids, and the two who ran errands were younger maids.
Qiu Ye had to urge and teach the two little girls some boxing and kicking skills every morning and evening. Zhen Su learned a few moves in his spare time, but lost interest after only a few days.
Zhen Su said, "Chun Jiang, what do you think the letter from the Princess of Chiayi means? It's all about Prince Rong Wei, and I don't even know this person."
Chunyue laughed and said, "Princess, don't you understand? The Princess of Chiayi wrote so much, but it's just one sentence: The prince regrets it."
