Daughter of the Prince of Rebirth

Chapter 257
Aunt Zhang suppressed the joy in her heart, walked quickly to the box, opened the golden lock with the key, and lifted the lid of the box, and the golden light poured out, making the person who was illuminated unable to open their eyes.

Aunt Zhang held the silk handkerchief, and gently stretched out her hand to press it, the baby's light was blocked, and her eyes returned to normal.

"Auntie, what kind of treasure is this, so dazzling?" Mammy Zang had seen such a treasure for the first time in her decades of life.

"It's the Pearl of the East China Sea." Through the silk handkerchief, the pearl was still faintly shining: "Just this one is worth 10 taels of gold!"

After Xie Zixin's death, Aunt Zhang was the housekeeper. When combing the cage at the end of the year, she looked at the old lady's box full of treasures.

As for Xie Zixin's box of dowry, there were also many valuable jewelry and jewels, but Madam Zhuang and others watched closely, and since the key was in Murong Yu's hands, Aunt Zhang couldn't do it, so she could only covet the silver taels in her shop.

When Aunt Zhang was in charge of the Hou's Mansion, she counted the silver taels earned for the year at the end of each year, so if she could enter here and get the key to open the door, she knew that the Pearl of the East China Sea was in this treasure chest.

For a long time, Aunt Zhang felt that after she was righted, she became Mrs. Hou. After a hundred years of the old lady, all the dowry would not belong to Zhang Yulan. It's all over, let's take a look at these treasures, I never thought, everything is unpredictable, she was cornered by Murong Yu, so she had no choice but to steal the pearl and exchange it for money...

6 taels of silver is not insignificant, not to mention that if you lose it, you will be found out. Aunt Zhang can't carry so much. Pearls are precious, small and light. .

After putting away the pearl, Aunt Zhang put the lid on the treasure chest and pulled Madam Zang out of the yard: "Mama Zang, I may have to stay outside the house for a while, and I will leave Lin'er to you..."

"Don't worry, Auntie, even if Nanny risked her life, she would keep Second Miss safe!" Zang Nanny's tone was so solemn that she almost raised her hand to swear.

Aunt Zhang nodded: "When I return to the Marquis Mansion, Mammy will be a hero, and then I will reward Mammy heavily!" If my plan goes well, that day will come soon.

The next day, after Murong Yu got up to wash and wash, before he had eaten, the big shopkeeper came to pay back the 6 taels of banknotes: "Miss, the deadline is up, and the money owed by the younger ones has also been paid. look……"

"Don't worry, I'll keep my word, and the silver pair is right, of course I won't embarrass the shopkeepers anymore!" Murong Yu smiled slightly: "This year, all the shops are making good profits, and the shopkeepers are well managed. 50 taels of silver will be used as a reward, guys, let each of you give out ten taels!"

"Thank you, miss!" Although 50 taels of silver is not much, it is free after all. With this extra income, the shopkeepers are of course happy.

"You are welcome, shopkeeper. You deserve it." Murong Yu's recovery of the coveted money must have made them panic. This time, the money was distributed to appease the shopkeepers. Do business hard: "I'm not a stingy person. If you have money, everyone can earn it together. If you make more profits next year, you will get more rewards!"

"On behalf of all shopkeepers and shopkeepers, I would like to thank you, Miss!" At first, the shopkeepers thought that Murong Yu would deduct a few months to a year's salary from them as a punishment, but they never thought that she not only did not punish them, but also rewarded them. The shopkeepers were so happy that they didn't know what to say.

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the business in the shop has relatively slowed down. If there is nothing to do, I will prepare more New Year's goods for the family..." Murong Yu ordered some more things, and the shopkeeper responded one by one. After showing his loyalty , I left with a thousand thanks.

Looking at the genuine bank notes in his hand, Murong Yu's eyes darkened slightly. The Yushi Mansion is already in chaos, and he can't take care of himself. It is impossible to raise so much silver taels only with Aunt Zhang's ability: "Mother Zhuang, ordered someone to secretly Find out, where did Aunt Zhang get these banknotes from?"

In a few days, it will be New Year's Eve, and the nobles of the noble family will also give gifts to each other. Although Murong Yu lives in the Yanyu Pavilion, he also knows that there are many people who come to give gifts. The presents also go one by one.

Although he was busy at the end of the year, he couldn't stop greeting the old lady. After breakfast, Murong Yu held Qin'er's hand and went to Songshou Hall.

After Lu Haowen moved to the Hou's Mansion, he had a literary competition with Ma Chongzhou, and the final result was of course Ma Chongzhou's disastrous defeat. Since then, Ma Chongzhou's eyes on Murong Yu have become less direct. When meeting him, he always lowered his head as if he felt ashamed, looking at the ground, not knowing what he was thinking, sometimes he would quietly raise his head to look at Murong Yu, his eyes dimmed, and then he quickly lowered his head again.

Although Lu Haowen is a student from a poor family, he is not known as a genius in Yangzhou because he has an outstanding appearance and a good temperament. Ma Zhongzhou is just a nobody, so he is naturally not as good as Lu Haowen.

When Murong Yu came to Songshoutang, Yang Shi and others had already arrived. Lei Shi looked at his son who had his head down and said nothing, and scolded him in his heart for being useless.

Murong Yu had just said a few words to the old lady when the maid outside the door reported: "Old lady, the prince of Luoyang is here."

The old lady smiled and said, "Please!"

The curtain opened and Ouyang Hanfeng walked in.

Yang Shi, Lei Shi, and Ma Zhongzhou were all members of the royal family for the first time, so they couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Looking at Ouyang Hanfeng's handsome face, noble and gentle temperament, Yang Shi and Lei Shi repeatedly praised him, he is worthy of being a member of the royal family, The appearance and temperament are different, but just standing there quietly, people can't ignore it...

On the other hand, Ma Chongzhou was so ashamed that he was about to find a crack in the ground to get in. After seeing Lu Haowen, he already felt that he was a bit shorter. Now, facing the dazzling Ouyang Hanfeng, he felt that he was as low as the dust on the ground, and he could only do nothing. As a humble person, looking up from afar...

"Old lady, grandma knows that you like flowers, so she specially ordered me to bring pots here for you to enjoy." After saying that, several maids came in carrying two pots of flowers. In an instant, the sparkling flowers dazzled everyone's eyes. .
