Begonia
In Cui Zhu yuan, 1 Su Mei radiated with delight. Murong Qi Q had said when doing things, you need to use your brains, donât always go fight and kill. So she also learned these.
âVery good!â
Murong Qi Qi threw a milk white jade dragon at Su Mei.
âLongze Jing Tian still owes me five hundred thousand silver taels. You go get it. Remember, I only want bank biljets!â
Su Mei touched the jade and looked at Murong Qi Qi. She had heard from her miss about the encounter with Longze Jing Tian in the forest. Going to collect a debt at this time is most appropriate.
âMiss, then Iâll go now!â
After receiving the command, Su Mei left xiang fu 2 cheerfully.
As Su Mei appeared in front of Jing wangfu, 3
one of the four great families Baifu 4 also received an unfamiliar guest.
âTong Bao Zhai?â
Tong Bao Zhai is the place where they sell jewelry. It is the jewelry store of Guang Hua gongzi
Looking at the invitation in his hand, Bai Mu Fei was stunned for a moment. They didnât have any business going on with Tong Bao Zhai. He didnât know why the shopkeeper of Tong Bao Zhao had come to visit. But in this world, heâs afraid that thereâs no one who would refuse Guang Hua gongziâs 5 Tong Bao Zhai.
âPlease come in!â
The one who came in was a forty-something middle-aged man. His face was dark of color and heâs slim. When he saw Bai Mu Fei, he came forward and bowed: âBai gongzi!â
âShopkeeper Fang!â
Bai Mu Fei politely bowed back. He immediately let someone pour tea. He didnât dare to show the slightest neglect.
Fang Kui sat down. The attendant behind him put a sandalwood box on the table.
âBai gongzi, I will not talk in rounds. Today, I came to your fu because our familyâs gongziâs commanded me to give this box of jewelry to miss Bai.â
Bai Mu Fei was even more surprised by Fang Kuiâs words. Which jewelry from Tong Bao Zhai was not hard to find and couldnât even be bought with money? Now heâs giving a full box to Bai Yi Yue. What did Guang Hua gongzi mean by this? Could it be that he took a fancy to little sister?
The way Bai Mu Fei thought seemed to be within Fang Kuiâs expectations. He stroked his beard while smiling.
âBai gongzi doesnât need to think more of it. Itâs just that my familyâs gongziowes miss Bai a favor. Now, heâs just repaying a debt.â
âRepaying a debt?â
Now Bai Mu Fei didnât understand it even more. When did little sister help Guang Hua gongzi? Why didnât he know about it? Even though he thought like this, he still let the servant go call Bai Yi Yue.
Today, Princess Ping Yang Longze Yu Er also happens to visit Bai fu. Since she did not have to go chongxi for demon wang, Longze Yu Erâs mood was very good. As to why she came to Bai fu, itâs because of Bai Mu Fei.
Ping Yang is her title as princess. Longze Yu Er is her given namen/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The family that Duanmu Qing had taken a fancy to as Longze Yu Erâs husband is the Bai family. The Bai family is really rich, they had plenty of money. If Longze Yu Er become Bai familyâs first daughter-in-law, in the future if her (DQ) son got the throne and needs money, she donât need to be afraid that the Bai family would be stingy!
âActually, I think third miss Murong is very pitiful.â
After seeing Longze Yu Erâs happiness, Bai Yi Yue said her thoughts.
âAfter all, there are too many rumors about Feng Cang. A girl marrying to another country is not something that an ordinary woman would be able to bear.â
âBai Yi Yue, what do you mean, ah?â
Seeing Bai Yi Yue take Murong Qi Qiâs side, Longze Yu Er is unhappy.
âIf she doesnât go, could it be that you want bengong 6 to marry demon wang?Donât you know the fate of those women who married demon wang? Do you want bengong to die tragically on the wedding night, ah?!â
Bai Yi Yue is already accustomed to Longze Yu Erâs craftiness, but she wonât bow down just because the other party is a princess.
âPrincess, everyone is born from a mother and father. They didnât pop out of a stone. Now that third miss is going to Bei Zhou in your place, you should be thankful instead. Yue er7 never had those thoughts that princess said and only described the facts.â
âYou......â
Longze Yu Er was so angry that she gritted her teeth in rage. She is a princess, why did Bai Yi Yue whisk her face everytime like this! Seeing Bai Yi Yueâs calm expression, Longze Yu Er felt her anger rise.
Humph! For now, bengong will let you be. After bengong marries into Bai family and becomes your sister-in-law, youâll see!
Just then, the servant Bai Mu Fei had sent broke the heavy atmosphere. After hearing that Tong Bao Zhai had gifted Bai Yi Yue a box of jewelry, Longze Yu Er immediately put the unhappiness in the back of her mind. Instead, she acted like she is the one who had received the gift: âWhere is it, escort bengong?!â
When she entered the main hall and saw the box next to Fang Kui, she immediately commanded him to open the box.
âIâm sorry, our gongzi said that this box of jewelry is for miss Bai. Only miss Bai can personally open it!â
Her face being torn in public, immediately made Longze Yu Erâs expression turn dark. Fang Kuiâs eyes leaped over the princess in front of him and kindly looked at Bai Yi Yue, who had appeared last.
âGreeting to miss Bai! To express his gratitude to missâs helping hand, our familyâs gongzi specially designed this set of âBegoniaâs spring sleepâ and asked this little one to give it to miss as missâs sixteenth birthday gift.â
Fang Kui opened the box in front of Bai Yi Yue. Immediately, only the sound of breaths being drawn out could be heard. Stars appeared in the eyes of all the women present. Even Bai Mu Fei as a man had no choice but to admire the superb skills and sophisticated design.
âHow beautiful!â
Longze Yu Er reached out and wanted to touch, but was stopped by Fang Kui.
âPrincess, this set of jewelry is very precious!â
The hidden meaning was, you donât break it.
This time, Longze Yu Er got angry: âWhat about bengong taking a look at it? What a bad toy!â
Fang Kui didnât get angry because of Longze Yu Erâs inappropriate words. Instead, he put the box in Bai Yi Yueâs hands.
âBehind every jewelry, thereâs missâs maiden name engraved on them. Our familyâs gongzi said Tong Bao Zhai wonât make a second set of this jewelry. Asking miss Bai to be rest assured. In this world, there wonât ever appear the same set of jewelry. If there is, it will surely be an imitation.â
Born in the richest family, Bai Yi Yue only lived in brocade garments and jade meals.
Brocade garments and jade meals: a life of luxury.
What kind of good things had she not seen? But she still was deeply attracted to this set of âBegoniaâs spring sleepâ in front of her. Just with one glance, she knew that this was the highest quality of suet jade. Such a big expense, such fine jewelry, was it really for her? Bai Yi Yue couldnât believe it.
âIs such a precious gift really for me? With all respect, Yue er doesnât remember having ever seen Guang Hua gongzi. Let alone ever helping him. Could it be that Guang Hua gongzi remembered wrongly? If itâs like this, Yueer cannot accept this gift because itâs really too precious!â
Bai Yi Yueâs words were very sincere. Seeing her this way, Fang Kui was very pleased. The way miss sees people was really good. This miss Bai is indeed worthy to become friends with!
âMiss, be assured, our familyâs gongzi didnât remember wrongly. Itâs just that miss has a good heart and inadvertently did something good and didnât remember it. But to our familyâs gongzi, meeting miss by chance and miss speaking out for justice is the most valuable! Please be assured!â
After seeing Bai Yi Yue inadvertently getting Tong Bao Zhaiâs full set of jewelry, Longze Yu Erâs eyes almost fell out from envy. No! She is a princess, why does Bai Yi Yue have it and she doesnât?
Thinking till here, Longze Yu Er stood in front of Fang Kui. She put one hand on her hip and pointed the other hand at him: âHey, go back and say to your familyâs whatever gongzi, bengong also wants a set of jewelry and it also needs to be unique! Let him make it quickly for bengong! By that time,bengong will reward him heavily!â
