Comprehensive film and television: The Queen of Rolls Opens the Roll Again
Chapter 219 The Dowry Arrives (1)
Gong Zishang kept chattering while holding Zhang Xueming. From the corner of her eye she saw Gong Yuanzheng staring at her sinisterly, as if he was about to pounce on her. She twisted her mouth and smiled smugly, wanting to rub her face against Zhang Xueming's.
Zhang Xueming's internal energy was flowing, and his whole body became slippery as if covered with oil. He slid out of her arms easily, and Gong Zishang couldn't catch him at all.
"Sister, brother is here too." Zhang Xueming held the hand that Gong Yuanzheng extended to her, and with a smile, he put his other hand around Gong Zishang's shoulders and turned her half a circle.
When Gong Zishang met Gong Shangjiao's cold face, he shrank his neck, his facial features flew around, and he let out a long "Huh~" with a hint of disgust, but then he calmed down.
When Gong Shangjiao was present, she never dared to laugh or make trouble. In her words, Gong Er was scarier than the elders in the palace. If someone did something out of line, he would put on his dead fish face and look at them up and down with a cold gaze that could freeze people to death. His eyes could make people behave themselves.
After greeting each other, Gong Zishang thanked Gong Shangjiao solemnly. She was serious for less than two minutes, ignoring Gong Yuanzheng's threatening gaze, and took Zhang Xueming's other hand, happily describing to Zhang Xueming the scene of the stewards coming to see her.
Zhang Xueming listened carefully and gave feedback from time to time, which made her speak even more enthusiastically.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention Yu Gong's affairs. Gong Yuanzheng also returned to his well-behaved and harmless appearance, and said to her: "Since the eldest sister has taken control of the internal affairs, she might as well change a group of servants to save them from being idle. Whenever someone comes to Shang Palace, no matter who they are, they all come over to join in the fun, and they all stare at them without blinking, and I don't know which master they will report to later."
Gong Zishang was stunned for a moment and looked at him with curiosity, which clearly meant "You can actually tell that there is something wrong with Shang Palace's servants."
Before Gong Yuanzheng could show his teeth again, she looked away and waved her hand, saying, "They had changed before I came here. They changed everything, even the guards. It wasn't me who did it. The palace gate housekeeper Jin and the new guard commander came over to watch the change. A bunch of people were crying and screaming, and I couldn't stand it, so I came out."
She didn't want to say more, and instead told Zhang Xueming about the slow progress in gunpowder research, and said that she had made a lot of little gadgets for Zhang Xueming to play with.
As they were talking, Jin Miao came to report that one of Jin Fu's assistants had come and said that there was news from outside the valley that Miss Zhao's "dowry" had arrived at the dock, and the big ship could not go through the waterway here. The Zheng family said that the things were a little more than a hundred million, and asked the palace to dispatch 20 cargo ships to pick them up, and the more people the better, so they came to ask for instructions.
Upon hearing that the "dowry" had arrived, Zhang Xueming perked up and said to Gong Shangjiao, "Brother, should we unpack and inspect the things after they are transported into the palace? Let the maids from the two palaces and the female guest house go, with Madam Qin from the Zheng Palace, Madam Jin from the Jiao Palace, and Madam Fu from the female guest house in charge, is that ok?"
Gong Zishang was thinking that Gong Shangjiao would definitely refuse, but Gong Shangjiao said, "You decide for yourself."
Gong Yuanzheng quickly took out the four treasures of the study and ground the ink. Zhang Xueming didn't ask Jin Miao to do anything at this time. He picked up the pen and quickly wrote out several notices. Gong Shangjiao stamped the seal and asked Jin Miao to take them out.
Gong Zishang was very puzzled but didn't dare to ask, so he winked at Zhang Xueming.
Zhang Xueming said openly: "I have many valuables, so I don't show off my wealth."
Gong Yuanzheng was shocked by the number "twenty cargo ships": "Zhao Zhao, didn't they say that the Zheng family only brought your daily necessities?"
"Yes." Zhang Xueming glanced at his expression and said, "Don't worry, Ayuan. The cargo ships at the palace gate are all medium-sized ships. Twenty ships should be able to carry it."
"If you can't fit it in, just go again." Gong Shangjiao didn't think it was strange, "But can your Huachao Residence hold so many things?"
This is easy to do. Zhang Xueming said: "The wooden walls of the four adjacent palaces can be raised. When the time comes, we can just build one and divide the area."
She had already chosen a place and had been waiting for today.
Huachaoju, which originally covered an area of more than 300 square meters, has been transformed into a super large space of nearly 1,300 square meters, so those functional compartments no longer appear cramped.
She had her own courtyard at Zhang's house, and at Zheng's house, too, with a garden, pond, pavilions, and towers. Once the gate was closed, it was her own world, and she could do whatever she wanted. It was nothing like at Huachaoju, where there was no place for the maids to stand even if they came.
Zhang Xueming suddenly looked at Gong Yuanzheng and smiled: "From now on, I can share a courtyard with Ayuan. We will see each other every day. It really lives up to that saying."
Gong Yuanzheng really asked, "Which sentence?"
"Dangerous people need to be kept under our noses...right?"
One of the brothers choked on his tea, and the other choked on his own saliva. Zhang Xueming lowered his eyes and smiled.
Gong Zishang rolled his eyes and asked Zhang Xueming quietly, "Did Gong Er and Gong San say this about you?"
Zhang Xueming glanced at her and asked with a smile: "Big sister, do you think this joke is not funny?"
Gong Zishang covered his chest in a somewhat exaggerated and pretentious manner, pretending to be intoxicated: "Funny~Funny~Zhao Zhao, you are a dangerous person, come back to the Shang Palace with me quickly, so that I can keep a close eye on you~"
The ending sound is very rippling.
Gong Yuanzheng just stopped coughing. Hearing this, he almost jumped up to hit her: "You wish! Zhao Zhao is my fiancée. She lives in Zheng Palace and won't go anywhere else!"
The two siblings started arguing with each other. Gong Shangjiao quietly pushed the snack box towards Zhang Xueming again and again, then brought the teapot over, lowered her head and refilled Zhang Xueming's cup with tea to express her apology.
Zhang Xueming took a sip from the cup and said, "It was just a little joke."
The cargo ship that went out of the palace gate to pick up the "dowry" took more than an hour to return.
Zhang Xueming asked Gong Shangjiao: "Brother, I have to go out of the palace. I have something to tell my family. Where is the most convenient place in town?"
"Let your personal maid take you to Pinghu Restaurant, which is owned by the palace." Gong Shangjiao pointed at Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Zishang and said, "If they want to watch, they can watch from the observation deck. Don't leave the palace for the time being."
"I understand, brother." Zhang Xueming pulled away two people who wanted to protest, one by one.
Gong Yuanzheng was unhappy: "Wanhua Tower and the Liu family have been dealt with, why don't you let me go out with you?"
"That's right, Gong Er is too overbearing. There's no danger outside, so why did he let me and my brother Yuan Zheng go to meet Zhao Zhao's family? The town is not far away."
"My father is busy with clan affairs and can't leave. The person who came should be the Zheng family's steward. There is nothing to see." Zhang Xueming smiled and said, "Besides, if we all go to the town, there will be no one to help me watch the palace gate."
Facing two identical puzzled faces, she said seriously, "What if the maids and maids are short of manpower and some guards are eager to help? I don't want a strange man to touch my things, especially my clothes. I don't want that at all."
The brother and sister suddenly realized what was going on and promised to help her with the supervision work.
