He Zhuo, the youngest daughter of the Irgen Gioro family, was bestowed a marriage to the 'Eldest Prince' of Emperor Kangxi's lineage.
Her story is about diligently raising childre...
After marriage, one becomes an adult, and the gift-giving ceremony can no longer be the same as that for the young princes.
He Zhuo likes to give tea as a gift.
The left and right princes, Yinzhi and Xiaozhenbao, all received their allowances from Hongyu. In addition, as the wife of a prince, she received 14 taels of Liuan melon tea and 8 taels of Tianchi tea every month, which was more than enough for her to eat.
He Zhuo designed the blueprints himself and made a number of tea canisters, some for one ounce, some for two ounces, and some for three ounces.
Lu'an melon tea and Tianchi tea are both tribute teas, and when paired with an elegant tea canister, they become top-quality gifts suitable for all ages.
In addition, the various silks in the allowance were often used by He Zhuo as gifts, since He Zhuo received the allowance of a concubine, and the silk fabrics were plentiful.
He Zhuo disliked giving fabric to Yin Zhi's concubines; in fact, he never did.
All the rewards given to Yinzhi's concubines were paid from the accounts of the front courtyard.
The ladies of the palace would typically bestow gifts of cloth and tea upon their lesser concubines, such as the "Changzai" and "Daying."
Khoja had no such expense, so he naturally had enough to give away.
One bolt of cloth is more than enough to make six or seven sets of clothes for someone of Khoja's build.
Therefore, when it came to dowry gifts for the sisters in the family, they would usually send fabrics, palace flowers, and small embroidered items. These were all from the palace and were a good choice to make a good impression. For Khoja, this meant that he didn't have to spend any extra money, so everyone was happy.
This might be acceptable among peers, but not among elders. Therefore, most of the expenses were still paid to the emperor, empress dowager, Consort Hui, the favored wives of princes outside the palace, and the mothers, grandmothers, and fathers of the Irgen Gioro family.
He Zhuo is skilled in painting and calligraphy. He is good at both ink painting and realistic oil painting, and his calligraphy is also quite elegant.
These are occasionally given as gifts to elders.
In fact, He Zhuo had several thousand pieces of jade raw stones in his storage ring. These were all stones that could yield jade. In the cultivation world, jade was worthless and nobody cared about it. However, because of his first life, He Zhuo had developed a fondness for jade and collected some of it.
This is where it came in very handy; among He Zhuo's dowry were three chests specifically for storing these uncarved jade pieces.
After the marriage was arranged, He Zhuo took more than a dozen pieces of medium-grade jade to the Wanbao Trading Company and had many jade bracelets, pendants, and bangles made. He Zhuo brought them to the palace, and he gave jade bracelets to almost every princess as birthday gifts.
Several large decorative pieces were also carved and presented to Consort Hui, Emperor Kangxi, and the Empress Dowager.
Because it was made using family resources, He Zhuo was not stingy; he gave each boy a jade pendant and each girl a bracelet or bangle.
Because top-quality jade is rare, He Zhuo had about 200 pieces in her storage ring. She only took out 3 pieces and put them in her dowry chest. Most of the rest were medium-quality jade, and some were low-quality jade, which could be used as ingredients.
Actually, calling it mid-grade jade only applies to top-tier nobles and those in the palace. For ordinary families, it would be considered top-grade jade, making it a very presentable gift.
Therefore, the masters in the palace did not think that He Zhuo was stingy, but rather that she was a great consort who liked to give jade ornaments.
However, the dowry that He Zhuo received from the palace was limited. The reason He Zhuo could give it away like this now was because everyone knew that the Grand Consort's dowry contained a lot of jade. Once that was used up, they would think of other gifts.
Khoja is currently facing many inconveniences in the palace. After he leaves the palace and establishes his own residence, he will find a way to sell some of the jade.
Every single stone in He Zhuo's storage ring is made of jade. They were all sensed with divine sense and spiritual power at the time, so there's no mistake, they're just different materials.
Yinzhi, the eldest son of the emperor, only inquired about the gift-giving matters during the first year of their marriage. Seeing that his wife could handle it properly, he then left it to others.
At most, it will be given to my grandmother, father, and mother for their attention.
Anyway, I've given you all my allowance, and I've also given you the key to the large storeroom in the front yard.
