He walked down the steps to greet him with a smile, and he couldn't help but be startled when he looked up close.
She is different from usual. Dressed like this, it is enough even if she wants to be married into the palace.
Wearing a red dress and a silver crown, her black hair was tied up in a bun with a silver silk crown, and she was dressed in a red fur coat with folded branches and dark flowers. Her whole person was like a light snow on a red plum.
She was wearing a large snow fox fur cloak, black eyebrows and red lips, and her eyes were as bright as spring. She looked like she was dressed for a formal visit.
Liu Ruhai looked carefully at the color of her lips and face. She looked better than when he first saw her, and her eyes were more energetic.
Maybe it was because Su Jintian came to live in the mansion, so she was in a better mood? There was no need to worry about whether he was killed by some demons from Biying Palace.
Liu Ruhai seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Li Shishan said several times that there had been rumors in the capital that Qingluo female ghost and Biying ghost were a couple. It was because Marquis Nankang did not allow it and ruthlessly broke them up.
He steps down.
"Please come on, what's the big deal today? You even posted a post specifically for me." He smiled as usual.
The hall is decorated with green pine trees and Qiu scenery, copper vases and jade whisks. The utensils on the table are kept spotless, and there is a big red greeting note written by her on the table.
Now, she is dressed like this again.
He also noticed that she actually hired two ladies from the alleyway teahouse to carry three large gift boxes from her home.
"You're welcome."
"This time I came to visit you, I really have something to trouble Mr. Liu."
The host and guest bowed politely, sat across from each other, had tea, and gossiped about the heavy snow today and next year's harvest. After three rounds of tea, she put down the tea and coughed, then said:
"I want to purchase medicine in the north. I need to ask Mr. Liu to write a letter of guarantee. As I mentioned last time, I have a companion mother in the north. Her surname is Zhao."
When she opened her mouth, she first talked about trivial matters. Mother Zhao bought counterfeit medicines several times, in small amounts, but she couldn't keep doing it, right? She still had to ask someone like Liu Ruhai, who came from a famous medical family in the north, to introduce a reliable way.
.
Liu Ruhai simply didn't ask her companion if he was Jin Yiwei's wife and what he was doing in Yanjing City.
——This is not nonsense?
Of course, it is to monitor Prince Zhao's Mansion.
He just picked up the pen and ink and it was done with a single stroke.
He dried the two documents he had written. He stood up from the table and handed them over.
She quickly stood up and read carefully, a letter of recommendation and a letter of guarantee. Inside, Liu Ruhai wrote to her relatives, recommending that Zhao's mother go to their store to buy medicinal materials.
She received the letter, thanked him with a gift, and stuffed him a thick red envelope in a polite manner.
He laughed, took the red envelope and pinched it: "A bank note?"
"Yeah." This is the reward for him. That's why I specially asked him to do it at home today.
"And this." She also pointed to the gift. She politely asked her to look at the gift together. Three big poles were used to carry the box.
The first two boxes contained fresh fruits, tea bags, and gold, silver, and jade articles. When he saw that the gift was too heavy, he remained calm.
When the third gift box was opened, he was even more surprised.
Inside the box were four pieces of Bashu brocade sealed with red paper, and four pieces of fine Hami gold thread rugs. In particular, the rug looked more delicate than the one in Nankanghou's study room.
"This is rare." He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and stroked it with two fingers. The texture was really good.
"I don't dare. They were transported from the Dayuan Palace. They were the last batch of tributes obtained by the previous dynasty. It is said that the craftsmen escaped. There is no such quality anymore. His Majesty Taizu got this batch. I happened to
There are four of them in front of me." She secretly felt heartbroken. This was her favorite blanket, and she planned to use it to decorate the big house with her parents in the future.
Liu Ruhai glanced at her. Ordinarily, Liu Ruhai was not surprised that Cao Xiwan had such wealth.
These are all properties that need to be sold. Just like buying a house or land, you may not be able to sell it immediately. The selling price is also difficult to say. But if you are really poor, you will always have some financial foundation with these.
No wonder she made the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the middle of the night last night.
At that time, he was still wondering what she was looking for at home. But she had this family background, so why would she give it to him?
Liu Ruhai knew very well that she was not polite to him at all. She had the final say in everything in the capital, and she was such a good person that she always took care of him like a local snake.
If she could spend this money to take care of him, it must be a place that she couldn't reach - the city of Yanjing.
"The gift is a little thin, I'll make it up next time." She couldn't find a few pieces of palace-like brocade, and she didn't know where her mother had put them.
Sister Hong and Sister Huo set up a table in the main room with banquet noodles, six dishes, one soup, and a brass hot pot. She quickly said: "I have a new set of good porcelain. The second lady gave it to me.
It hasn't been used in the past few days, should you use it today?" He also heard about the errands from Nanhe Baihu, and when he expected that it was the young masters and ladies of the second wife who were giving her gifts, he couldn't help but smile and nod: "I want to see it first."
She asked Aunt Hong to pick it up at her house and put it on his parents' box in the east room. She was too lazy to confiscate it.
Immediately the porcelain was brought in, but it was a set of white-bodied light concubine red official kiln lamps, crystal clear, no wonder she liked it.
Liu Ruhai felt that he was worthy of this color, and there was absolutely no intention of any man not using this color. She smiled and watched Sister Huo bring the wine jar up, sniffed, and thought for a moment: "Is it rice wine?"
"The best country in the world."
"What a good name." She really felt excited, it was flattering her, and Liu Xiaozi was indeed a sweet person.
He was so funny, but she especially liked the words "No. 1 in the world". No wonder she had to brag about her reputation when she and Su Jintian had a fight that night. As a woman, if she didn't have such a temper, she might not be able to outdo Su Jintian?
With a pleasant look on her face, she watched Liu Ruhai open the clay seal of the wine jar himself and fill the concubine's red wine jug with wine.
She also stood up, holding the pot in her jade hand, and poured two cups of wine with a trickling stream.
Liu Ruhai sat and looked at her with a smile.
Sister Huo gave a look, and she and Aunt Hong gathered the coals, closed the door of the main room, and retreated to eat and drink by themselves.
"Is it hot?" They each ate three cups. She was sweating slightly and her face was pink. He first untied his new mink robe and couldn't help asking her: "It's warm in the room, so take off the fur robe first."
.Just put it on when you leave."
"I'm afraid of the cold, and the wind is blowing." She touched the silver crown with flowers on her head, "I didn't wear a rabbit fur bun today."
"I have a pair over there."
"Have you used it?" she asked with a smile. Liu Ruhai laughed loudly, ate another one, and said slowly: "I saw it on the road and bought it."
Cao Xiwan was slightly startled and glanced at him. Liu Ruhai's expression was as usual.
"...If you buy it just because you see it, it must not be ordinary." She thought for a while, but she didn't mean to refuse.
He smiled slightly, got up and went back to the back room, took out a gold-green palindrome paper box, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of her.
She stretched out her hand and opened it gently, and said with a slight sigh: "This is not easy to wear. The pearls are too big. They are tribute beads."
Overstepped.
He couldn't help but laugh: "So you still care about this?"
