The Legitimate Younger Sister Insists on Marriage Exchange, Sending Me to Become a Marquis Wife – Chapter 520

第520章 用心难测
红叶讪笑道:“你不是聪明人?我喜欢你还喜欢错了。”

秦鸢也笑:“荷花和秧儿未必不是聪明人,好了,别说这个了,中秋节的事情都安排好了么?”

红叶道:“别的都安排好了,只是两家姻亲的礼物还没定下来。”

秦鸢默了默,道:“徐家就按旧例准备便是,林举人家……”

秦婉有孕在身,理当送些安胎之物。

但想到对方的小性子,秦鸢又担心吃力不讨好,便道:“照着送往仁和堂的点心糕饼寒瓜长藕加一份,再选几匹好锦,几本诗集游记之类。”

红叶问:“要不要加些金银玉玩之物?”

秦鸢摇头,“算了,送了去只会给她添堵。”

俞娘子是个不省心的,如今过了明路在林子奇身边伺候,不能生孩子母凭子贵,少不得要花着心思撺掇林母,送的东西多了好了,不过是引来觊觎罢了。

前世她小产,秦婉曾命人送来一堆补品让她好好调理。

林母挑挑拣拣,拿走了不少好东西,还口口声声说小产又不是什么大病,犯不着吃这么好的,气得她不轻。

林子奇还说,母亲勤俭持家,也是为他们好。

这世秦婉好不容易有了自个的孩子,她就不去添乱了,有百合和百合的老娘守着,崔氏什么都会照料好。

红叶道:“但这……会不会被说寒酸?”

秦鸢道:“无妨,锦缎选时兴的好料子,颜色选适合年轻女子穿用的,其余的等孩子生下来再送便是。礼送的太重,人家也不好回。”

她不喜秦婉,更不喜林家另外三人,一点好处都不想给那三人。

红叶看了眼秦鸢,道:“小姐对二小姐比以前用心。”

秦鸢笑了笑,道:“我们都是秦家女,她那掐尖的毛病,骄纵的脾气,离得远也不用受着了,又兴许是侯府的日子过的舒坦,我也懒得计较这些。她好了,母亲就不会生气,爹就不会为难。我若是没什么事,兴许还乐得看她的热闹。但如今府里府外一堆事,只求她少给我添乱找麻烦。”

三人将中秋的礼全都分拨定了,写在纸上,秦鸢道:“明日请老夫人和侯爷看了,就能定下来了。”

“看什么看?”

顾侯爷的声音在门外响起,一眨眼的功夫人已进了屋子。

秦鸢先看了眼顾侯爷的神色,这才起身袅袅婷婷地迎了上去,柔声道:“说的是中秋节的礼单,不知往妹妹家和徐家送什么才好。”

翠茗便将替换的衣衫取了来,秦鸢帮着顾侯爷换了常服,看他眉宇间的郁色稍减,方道:“我说给妹妹送些稀罕的吃食过去,再送几匹好料子,都是眼下时兴的面料。红叶说只怕薄了些。”

顾侯爷笑道:“他家里一团乱账,你爱送什么就送什么。”

秦鸢道:“我也这么想,林举人的表妹和他老娘都是难缠的,送的东西太好,只怕也麻烦,再则他们家底子薄,送的东西太贵重,只怕还礼也难。说不得又要去挤二妹妹的嫁妆。”

顾侯爷心中一动,想起件事情来,道:“听十六说,徐堂从宫里溜出来,和你弟弟一起踢毬,还去了林举人家两次。他这段时日连徐家都没回过。”

秦鸢叹气。

“恒哥儿是个不省心的,我都给爹带了信,让拘着他别和徐堂混,可他偏说不入虎穴焉得虎子,走的近了才知道人家打什么主意。”

顾侯爷笑道:“明儿我得空,干脆让十八去国子监请他来家里骑马,我们在一起说说话。”

秦鸢道:“秦家就这么一个嫡子,偏偏聪明劲又不在学业上,他将来必然是要管理庶务的,见识些三教九流也有益处,但就怕被带歪了性情,就扭不过来了。他最仰慕你,能听得进去,你教导教导他也是好的。”

顾侯爷换好了衣服,往桌前走了几步,笑道:“我是他的大姐夫,我不管他谁管,只望岳父大人看在这个面上,别对我的功课催的太过。”

秦鸢笑道:“只怕我爹觉得无以为报,只好多多督促你上进才好。恭喜侯爷,贺喜夫君,你将来一个儒将是没跑了。”

夫妻两个闲话几句,顾侯爷的神色慢慢缓和下来,这才问秦鸢:“这些日子你嫁妆铺子收益如何?听十六说你要开始着手囤收胡椒,银钱可还够?若是不够,需要多少,让十六从我的私库里取便是。”

秦鸢笑道:“冷掌柜那边才拿了账本子过来,最近香丸卖的不错,其他的几个嫁妆铺子都打算冲着太后寿诞,调换铺子里的存货赚一笔大的,沈长乐和冷掌柜都在帮着出主意,哦,还有个万账房,沈长乐真是厉害,这才多久,就和万账房又打得火热。诗集虽然卖的不错,但还没什么太大的进账,等到年底四处收了银子,该有不少。”

言下之意,暂时用不着顾侯爷的私库。

顾侯爷又问:“宝珠不是嚷着要来梧桐苑和你说收胡椒的事,人呢?”

秦鸢道:“早就走了,脚底下跟踩了风火轮似的,这个时候,还让人往国公府送信,兴许是去找尤大小姐说事。”

顾侯爷就一皱眉。

“你说的那件事……难道尤大这是在借着咱们的手给太子送画像?”

“噗嗤”一声,秦鸢笑出声来:“人家好好一个女孩子,在你们兄妹嘴里就成了个莽汉子似的。”

顾侯爷扯了扯唇角。

秦鸢道:“我听宝珠说过几回,尤大小姐和九公主来往密切,也曾做过说客,想要替九公主要那生死状。宝珠拒绝之后,我本以为她们会再想别的法子,没想到质子府失火之后,就再没了动静。”

顾侯爷狭长的眼睛微眯:“你这是揣测他们又换了招数给我们下套?”

秦鸢道:“我只是防范未然罢了。这图若是传到外面去,太子以此作为由头,要求皇上指婚,三公九卿会怎么想就难说了。不管她是什么意图,都等到太子妃的位置定下来再议才好。”
