Chapter 76 The Lady of Yangling Marquis Who Never Gives Up

When Chanyi approached, Shen Qing motioned for her to hand the brocade box in her arms directly to Madam Yanglinghou.

A look of satisfaction flashed in Mrs. Yanglinghou's eyes. Shen Qing did a good job in this regard. Although the two of them were at odds with each other when they were in the mansion, they could not show it in front of outsiders under any circumstances.

Looking at the delicate brocade box in her hand, which was only the size of a palm, Madam Yanglinghou rarely looked at Shen Qinggao in her heart.

This Shen Qing is not that useless.

Madam Yanglinghou opened the brocade box with great anticipation, somewhat curious about what precious gifts Shen Qing had prepared and how much face she would gain in front of all the ladies.

However, the moment the brocade box was opened, the smile on Mrs. Yanglinghou's face suddenly froze.

Because there is nothing in the brocade box!

Mrs. Yanglinghou was confused and looked at Shen Qing, "Where are the things?"

Shen Qing glanced at Madam Yanglinghou in surprise, "What is it? This is just an empty box."

After her hope failed, Mrs. Yanglinghou's blood suddenly surged, and Lin Xuefu quickly helped her.

"Shen Qing, what on earth are you doing?"

I thought Shen Qing had just deceived them, but she didn't expect that Shen Qing really hadn't prepared anything. How was she going to get up there? Bring an empty box up there!

Mrs. Yanglinghou really wanted to smash the brocade box in her arms on Shen Qing's head, but she also knew that doing so would undoubtedly make the Yanglinghou Mansion more embarrassed when she was in front of others, so she could only suppress her anger and The brocade box was gently thrown in front of Shen Qing, and he said in a cold voice: "You can take your broken box to send gifts later!"

Shen Qing raised a smile at the corner of her mouth and agreed softly. She put the brocade box aside and turned her head to continue watching the ceremony, as if she wanted to carry out the concept of breaking jars and smashing them to the extreme.

However, Shen Qing could remain calm, but Mrs. Yanglinghou could not!

Shen Qingquan was not afraid of embarrassment, but Madam Yanglinghou was!

So Mrs. Yanglinghou could only approach Shen Qing again and whispered, "Shen Qing, take off the hairpin on your head and use it as a gift!"

This is the most comprehensive solution that Mrs. Yanglinghou can think of at present.

It can not only save the face of the Yangling Marquis Mansion, but also allow Shen Qing to send congratulatory gifts. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Shen Qing did not refute this time, but very obediently pulled out the hairpin from her head. However, before putting it into the brocade box, Shen Qing reminded Madam Yanglinghou, "Mother, I just heard that Madam Shangshu The gift we prepared is also a hairpin, which is handmade by a famous master craftsman. It is gorgeous and noble. If we send this gift, I am afraid that it will be severely compared to it by the Shangshu Mansion. "

Madam Yanglinghou's face immediately condensed. Many official ladies present knew that the quarrel between Madam Yanglinghou and Madam Shangshu was not due to the series of subsequent reactions caused by the political disagreement between Yanglinghou and Cui Shangshu in the court. But simply one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.

Like Mrs. Yanglinghou, Mrs. Shangshu is also a person of great dignity.

Therefore, when the two parties are present at the same time, there will most likely be smoke.

Although Shangshu is only the second rank, which is much lower than that of Yangling Marquis, Cui Shangshu has real power, and Shangshu's wife has been given a royal title. So, who is the higher status of the two? It’s really hard to judge time.

Seeing that the hairpin didn't work, Mrs. Yangling Hou looked at Shen Qing again, wanting to see if there was anything more precious on Shen Qing.

But what a coincidence, Shen Qing went out today without wearing a very expensive piece of jewelry.

The air pressure around Mrs. Yanglinghou was getting lower and lower. She obviously didn't want to lose to Mrs. Shangshu. Shen Qing suggested at the right time, "Mother, I took a look and now we are more valuable than Mrs. Shangshu's gift." It’s just these exquisite jasper bracelets on your and Auntie Lin’s wrists. Whether to give them away or not depends on mother’s wishes.”

The exquisite jasper bracelets on the wrists of Mrs. Yanglinghou and Lin Xuefu are a pair. The bracelets are clear and green. They are of the highest quality in terms of workmanship and style. They are also one of Shen Qing's dowry.

When Shen Qing first got married, in order to please Mrs. Yanglinghou, she specially picked these pair of bracelets in her dowry and gave them to her. Mrs. Yanglinghou liked them very much and put them on on the spot, but who would have thought of the other bracelet? It appeared on Lin Xuefu's wrist the next day. Mrs. Yanglinghou also said that she and Lin Xuefu were like mother and daughter, and it was just right to wear a pair of bracelets. At that time, Shen Qing was depressed for a few days. , but now I just feel sick when I think about it.

That's why today's episode came about.

Shen Qing did not intend to ask for these bracelets back, but she also did not want to see them on the wrists of Mrs. Yanglinghou and Lin Xuefu.

After hearing this, Mrs. Yanglinghou was silent for a while and finally made a decision.

Seeing that Mrs. Yanglinghou was about to grab her wrist, Lin Xuefu was reluctant and tried to dissuade her, "Auntie, it's just a gift. There is no need for such a precious bracelet. The one of the young lady is A hairpin is enough.”

When Mrs. Yanglinghou gave this bracelet to her before, Lin Xuefu liked it so much that she went to the jewelry store to ask about it. The shopkeeper said that this pair of bracelets was more valuable than their store's treasure. Even if One of them alone is worth at least a thousand taels of silver. If two of them are put together, they are even more precious. The most important thing is that they are priceless but not marketable.

Now, Lin Xuefu was unwilling to give away such a valuable thing just for a moment of anger.

However, Mrs. Yanglinghou, who almost obeyed Lin Xuefu's advice, rarely did so this time. "No, I have decided to give you these bracelets!"

Lin Xuefu's expression was slightly cracked, and she wanted to question the wife of Yangling Marquis: "If you want to give, give the one you have, why did you pick mine!", but because of her character, she chose to compromise obediently.

Seeing the wife of Yangling Marquis put her precious bracelet that she had worn for half a year into the brocade box, Lin Xuefu felt that her whole heart was bleeding.

That was one thousand taels of silver, her monthly salary for four or five years, and was given away by the wife of Yangling Marquis like this!

After putting Lin Xuefu's bracelet into the brocade box, the wife of Yangling Marquis stared at her wrist for a long time, but still couldn't bring herself to do it.

The wife of Yangling Marquis naturally liked this bracelet very much, otherwise she wouldn't have worn it until now.

In addition, like Lin Xuefu, the day after she got the bracelet, Madam Yangling asked Mother Zhang to appraise it, so she naturally knew the value of the bracelet, one thousand taels...

But on second thought, there were no good things in Shen Qing's dowry, but it was just a bracelet, it was not that she couldn't afford it, not to mention that the Queen and the Crown Prince were also present today, and her elaborate gift could also make Mu Xueliu look good.

Thinking of this, Madam Yangling didn't feel aggrieved anymore. Just as she was about to take off the bracelet on her wrist, she saw Shen Qing quietly pulling her sleeve: "Mother, we're at the Yangling Marquis's Mansion."

Madam Yangling was startled, and when she looked up, she saw that everyone was looking at her with a look of scrutiny.

Madam Yangling laughed awkwardly, and before she could take off the bracelet on her wrist, she quickly got up from her seat and closed the lid of the brocade box.

Lin Xuefu's eyes immediately widened. So, the wife of the Marquis of Yangling and Shen Qing were in a stalemate for a long time, but in the end he gave her bracelet away?
