As Nanny Jiang spoke, she carefully folded the clothes and wrapped them tightly in a cloth bag.
"For the other set of clothes, just make it according to your own ideas."
Before leaving, Nanny Jiang stuffed a silver note into Ye Ersao's hand.
"Here's the payment for two sets of clothes. Take it."
Ye Ersao didn't bother to look and sent the guests out first.
As Nanny Jiang walked out, she glanced around the yard and asked Sister Ye, "Why don't you see Qingtian? Is he taking a nap in the house?"
"She had a great time playing at her relative's house this morning and didn't want to come back after dinner, so I let her play there now."
"I was just about to tell her!" Madam Jiang said, "Last time she asked me to bring back some walnuts for my young master. He loved them so much that he pestered Madam to make a necklace for him, and now he wears it around his waist every day.
"I play with it carefully for a while every day, saying I want to polish the walnuts out!
"Because he always carried that walnut with him wherever he went, a trend of buying and playing with walnuts started in Beijing.
"Oh my, the price of walnuts in those stores has doubled.
"Some people even bought walnuts specifically to send home. Surprisingly, there was a really nice string of 18-seed walnuts.
"Forget about the other random things. Only this one was put away by the Madam for the young master. She said that if he really liked walnuts that much, she could keep it and play with it slowly in the future."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye thought to herself, could this be the string that Ye Xianglei sold?
Then Nanny Jiang continued, "Speaking of which, there's something funny!
"Everyone says my young master likes walnuts, and it turns out there's actually a fool who asked his servants to bring ten carts of edible walnuts to our house.
"He's completely confused. It's not right to accept it, and it's not right not to accept it.
"When the delivery person went back and told me about it, I realized that the things they had sent were all antiques and not meant to be eaten."
This incident made the three sisters-in-law laugh.
"Ten carts of walnuts, how long will it take to finish them all?" Mrs. Ye said with a smile.
"Who says it isn't? Because of the ten carts of walnuts he sent, the kitchen has been cooking walnut-related dishes in various ways.
"Walnut milk, walnut paste, walnut pieces, amber walnut kernels and so on, the whole family is complaining about eating them!
"I took the opportunity to come here to pick up clothes today and managed to avoid a meal."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye said, "If you had come earlier, wouldn't you have been able to have dinner at home?
"Now, after having lunch in the county, I come here and get my clothes, and then I have to go back quickly. I don't even have time to sit at home for a while."
"Oh, I didn't tell you I was coming in advance. It's raining today, and I thought your family must not have prepared anything.
"If I come here suddenly, won't that cause trouble for you?"
They were talking under the eaves outside the wing room. When Old Lady Ye heard Nanny Jiang was about to leave from the east room, she came out, draped in her clothes, and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Sit down a while!"
Nanny Jiang hurried over, took Old Madam Ye's hand and said, "Old sister, I didn't know you were sick when I came here this time, otherwise I should have brought you some nourishing food.
"Don't come out to see me off. Be careful not to catch a cold. I might come back in ten days or half a month. By then you'll be well, and we can have a good chat."
"Then it's settled," Old Madam Ye said hurriedly, "Next time, don't eat in the county before coming here. Come directly to my house for dinner!"
"Okay, I'll definitely come and bother you next time."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Nanny Jiang told everyone not to see her off and got in the car to leave the Ye family.
The few people who came out to see the guests off were about to turn around and go back to the house when Guo suddenly came out and stood under the eaves and said, "Hey, second sister-in-law, how much money did you make making clothes for the Qin family? Tell us so that we who can't do needlework will be envious."
Although Guo had a smile on her face, her words were not kind enough to make it impossible for the listeners to laugh.
Before Second Sister Ye could figure out how to answer, Old Lady Ye couldn't help but ask, "It's so hard to get a few days of peace and quiet, can't you hold on a little longer?
"What's the matter? Now that you can finally poop, you want to meddle in other people's business again?
"I, your mother-in-law, haven't even asked, why are you asking?"
After saying this, Old Lady Ye turned to Second Sister Ye and said, "Don't pay attention to her. This money is earned by you working hard to make clothes. How much you earn is your own business.
"Don't tell anyone about this money, just keep it safe for yourself.
"I've been through this, and I can tell you, after having three sons, you have to tighten your belt. There are still many more places where you can spend big money!"
Thinking of the difficulties Old Lady Ye faced in finding wives for her four sons, Second Sister Ye suddenly felt the pressure on her was much heavier.
Wouldn't it be more expensive to marry a wife inside the Great Wall than outside the Great Wall?
In fact, he has not yet considered getting married and having children in the future. The money for his three sons' education alone is enough to worry Ye Ersao so much that she has a lot of gray hair.
She thanked Mrs. Ye and hurried back to her room.
Seeing this, Mrs. Guo snorted coldly from behind.
Mrs. Ye didn't bother to pay attention to Guo. She closed the door before she unfolded the banknotes she had been holding in her hand.
But the moment the banknote was unfolded, she suddenly closed her eyes and dared not look.
She held up the banknote and said, "Changrui, come quickly!
"Hurry up and show me how much is written on this banknote?
"Just tell Mom quietly after you read it, but don't shout or tell anyone else."
