Chapter 306
When Jin Xi stepped into the door, Qiu Shi had already waited for two meals, and the pot of freshly brewed half-flavored orchids was all colorless.Seeing that she finally came back, Qiu quickly got up and saluted Jin Xi.

Now neither the identity of Mrs. Jin Xihou nor Qin Xiao's official position is comparable to Qiu's.

"Aunt Shi, don't be so polite to me!" Jin Xi hurriedly stepped forward to support her.The sound of "Aunt Shi" fell into Qiu's ears, both comforting and sighing, mixed together, it is impossible to taste the taste at all.

Jinxi knew that Qiu's family must have something important to do here, so he didn't show politeness to her. He ordered Qing Xing to make a good pot of tea again, and then cut to the chase: "Auntie Shi's family has something important to do, why are you here?"

"The Holy Majesty suddenly sent troops to conquer Kucha. My husband has been to Kucha and knows that there is a big temperature difference between day and night. There are four seasons in one day, so he specially asked me to come and remind the princess. I have nothing to prepare for the princess, so I brought two leather robes on my own initiative, and I hope Lord Hou will not dislike it."

As Qiu raised her hand, the nurse standing beside her quickly opened the bundle in her hand, revealing a few mink cloaks inside.

Zhao Qingtai still cares about this matter?Jin Xi kept thanking her, but secretly raised her eyes and glanced at Qiu Shi, very puzzled.

As soon as Mr. Zhao Ge died, the Qiu family had to welcome the guests who came to pay their respects, and was busy presiding over the funeral of Mr. Zhao Ge.Busy around inside and out, with a haggard face and plain clothes.At first glance, compared with the first time Jin Xi met, she seemed to be ten years older, rebellious like two people.

Qiu Shi couldn't sit still when he had something on his mind, so he got up and left immediately after explaining things.Jin Xi knew that the Zhao Mansion was in chaos now, so she didn't leave her behind, and only ordered Qing Xing to go in and bring out two brocade boxes.

Opening one of the brocade boxes was 2000 taels of silver bills. Jin Xi handed the box of silver bills to Qiu Shi, and said sincerely: "Old Man Seven, Zhao Ge, I should have gone to offer incense sticks in person, but I really don't have the time to spare, Aunt Shi Please don't blame me. This is my heart, please put a stick of incense for me in front of Mr. Zhao Ge."

"The Princess is too polite!" Qiu Shi also knew that Jinxi, as a newly married woman, would not be able to attend funerals.Besides, on the day Mr. Zhao Ge was buried, she had already sent someone to deliver a heavy funeral ceremony.

The first seven rites of 2000 taels of silver are really heavy, so Qiu quickly declined.

Jin Xi, however, insisted on refusing to take back the box of banknotes. Instead, he opened another brocade box, which turned out to be a box full of longan-sized pearls. .

Qiu's heart was startled, and when she looked at Jin Xi again, she became a little wary.Qin Xiao's money is loose, and 2000 taels of silver is the first seven gifts. It can still be said that this box of pearls is really...

Jinxi saw her hesitation, and sighed slightly, "I have a little selfishness here, so please forgive me. I was married from the Zhao family, so I am a half girl of the Zhao family. I'm sorry. You just think I'm spending money to buy peace of mind.

As for this box of pearls, I want to borrow your hand to pass it on.

Presumably you have also heard that the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the funeral of Uncle Chang Ping under the decree, and Master Hou and I can't intervene.I know that Master Shuqiu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is your natal elder brother. I would like to ask you to pass me a message to Brother Ling, and ask him to handle this matter more grandly for the sake of Lord Hou.

Although Uncle’s funeral ceremony has rules, it will not be too hasty, but the people below always have to skimp on things. I don’t have much cash in hand. This box of pearls, please change it into silver for me, Lord Qiu. Just do things thoughtfully. .

Be as luxurious as possible, as long as you don't overdo it.Uncle Changping's life was bumpy... and there is only this little glory left!And Liu's... raise me, if possible, her wish will be fulfilled, let's be buried with Uncle Changping! "

Qiu Shi was very surprised, she really didn't expect Jin Xi to beg her for this matter in person.Looking down at the bank notes and pearls, it was obvious that they had been prepared a long time ago, and he couldn't help but sigh that Princess Leyi's mind is really hard to guess.

Let's say she is shrewd, the front and back yards are in a mess, and she hasn't even trained a capable servant around her.Let's say she is confused, I have never seen her miss anything important.Not only did it not go wrong, but it was so perfect that people couldn't fault it.

Maybe this is what my father-in-law often said, those who want to do big things need to be smart about big things, right?

Qiu Shi accepted the bank notes and pearls, went out and got on the carriage, suddenly felt amused.She has lived half her life, thinking she is smart, but she is actually a frog in a well.He only knows how to make calculations on such a small matter in the inner house, and try every means to please her husband, thinking that this is the way a woman should have to settle down.

Today, I was educated by a teenage girl, and I understand what it means to be a husband and a child!

No wonder she became Mrs. Hou at such a young age, she was really different.Look at how this thing was done, a box of pearls of uncertain value was given to her brother, and outsiders couldn't say anything based on how much her brother used.What's more, for Uncle Changping's funeral, all the items should be provided by the Ministry of Rites, so how can we buy them additionally?

Leyi neither said to give her brother any benefits, nor did she say not to give her brother any benefits, she let her brother take care of everything.

No matter how upright her brother is, he won't make things difficult for this kind of money that falls from the sky.Furthermore, the matter of Mrs. Liu's inexplicable replacement of Mrs. Uncle was also suppressed, and they did not shout it out.Letting Liu's family and Changping Bo's joint burial is simply a matter of lifting a finger.

Even if someone pursued it afterwards, if her brother didn't know anything, he would just push it away.

This girl is... on the verge of becoming a genius!
She lowered the two boxes of things in her hand, laughing and shaking her head for a while, wondering what she was thinking.Zhao Tingxuan, who had been sitting in the carriage waiting for the news, finally couldn't help it, and said softly: "Second Aunt, things... She took it?"

"Accepted!" Qiu Shi came back to her senses and hurriedly put away the two boxes.Looking up at Zhao Tingxuan who felt relieved, he secretly sighed.The silly boy!Things have come to this, if you continue to be infatuated like this, isn't it hard for yourself?
Qiu watched Zhao Tingxuan grow up since she was a child. Thinking of this, she distressedly persuaded: "You are a smart person, and my aunt doesn't talk about those big truths. I just want to tell you a few words from my heart. Princess Leyi is a kind person to Lord Qin. What kind of heart, Lord Qin's love for Princess Leyi is even more painful to the bone. You can't forget her, so what can you do? If someone with a heart sees something, it will hurt her instead. "

Zhao Tingxuan's eyes were gray, and he said after a while: "I know, I will be careful!"

Be careful?This is not going to forget?Qiu Shi sighed helplessly, although she is close, it must be the nephew who is separated by a layer after all, so she can't go further.Gently patted Zhao Tingxuan's hand, and secretly begged Mr. Zhao Ge to bless him, so that the child could wake up early.

Qiu sighed, and Jinxi in the other courtyard also looked at the few mink fur coats she had just sent with complicated eyes.Confused about whether to let Qin Xiao know about these clothes.

It's not that something is bad, it's that it's great.So good...she couldn't even pretend to be confused...
