"Many people were interested before, but the owner of Guibaozhai wanted to sell it for a high price for you, so he kept them waiting.
"Who would have thought that it would be a blessing in disguise? This time, several envoys from small Western countries came to our Great Qi, and they were extremely fond of porcelain.
“Some of these small Western countries have rich gold and silver mines, while others have many gemstone mines.
"So this box of gems was bought for you by the owner of Guibaozhai in exchange for your large blue and white porcelain plate. I'm just handing it over on your behalf."
"So amazing!" Qingtian became excited when he heard it.
Children naturally like colorful and shiny things.
This box of gems just meets all the requirements.
So even though Qingtian didn't know how much this box of gems was worth, he was very happy just looking at how beautiful they were.
Mr. Wei let Qingtian fiddle with it for a while, then came over and said, "Okay, put it away first, it's time to get down to business.
"Which of you two will start by reciting the homework assigned yesterday?"
…
Boss Ye spent the whole morning talking to Boss Cheng about the trip outside the Great Wall. Seeing that it was getting late, he hurried to Qin's house to pick up Qingtian.
The father and daughter returned to the dumpling restaurant and were shocked by the embroidery frames placed in the main room as soon as they entered.
The embroiderers all knew Qingtian, and they greeted her when they saw her come in.
"Sunny day is back!"
"It's so hot outside, isn't it? Look how our sunny little faces are getting sunburned."
"Qingtian, why didn't you wear the clothes that Ye Ersao made for you last time? Don't you like them?"
That piece of clothing was made by everyone working together.
"Of course I like it! But I can't wear it now."
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Qingtian quickly explained, "Because Master Lu and Second Auntie promised Madam Duan that they would make them and their daughter the first people in the capital to wear this dress, besides the Queen.
“So even if Second Aunt helped everyone make new clothes for me, I would have to wait until Madam Duan and Miss Duan received the clothes before I could wear them.
"Otherwise, wouldn't that make Mr. Lu and Second Aunt go back on their word?"
The embroiderer who had asked the question earlier slapped her thigh and said, "This is what Ye Ersao told you, right? We didn't even think of this."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye came out of the west room and said, "You really think too highly of me. I didn't make these clothes to sell. I just made them for my own children. I didn't think about these things at all.
"Don't underestimate Qingtian because she's just a child. She's very smart!"
The embroiderers were all amazed when they heard this. They didn't expect that Qingtian, at such a young age, could think of so many things.
"Second Aunt, is my mother in the room?"
"Here, come in!"
Qingtian quickly took Boss Ye’s hand and went into the east room.
Although she was not a shy child, she was still unable to withstand the bombardment of several embroiderers.
Maybe they usually chat while embroidering, so they are all very talkative.
No matter what the topic is, as long as they start talking, they can talk about it forever.
As soon as Boss Ye entered the room, he suddenly saw so many embroiderers. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at them for any longer, for fear of being rude.
So I quickly followed my daughter into the house.
"Dad, please close the door quickly." Qingtian couldn't help but whisper as soon as he entered the house.
Seeing this, Sister Ye couldn't help but ask, "Qingtian, what's wrong? Don't you like Second Aunt's people working here?"
Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She shouldn't have made this suggestion without thinking of asking her daughter's opinion.
Fortunately, Qingtian shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, and still whispered: "No, I have something good to show you and Dad!"
Qingtian said as he took out a wooden box from his small schoolbag, opened it and poured all the gems inside onto the table.
"What's good..." Mrs. Ye choked before she could finish her words. She was so shocked that she couldn't say anything.
Boss Ye leaned over to the table and looked at it for a long time before he finally found his voice and asked, "Girl, what is this?"
"Brother Qin said it was a gem."
Mrs. Ye's head felt numb at the back and her back was covered in cold sweat.
But she still remembered that she had wrongly blamed Qingtian last time, so she swallowed hard and asked, "Qingtian, where did these gems come from?"
"Mom, do you still remember the big plate? It's the one I found in the abandoned kiln."
"The blue and white one? Of course I remember it!" Mrs. Ye nodded.
At that time, Qingtian brought the plate back and told her to use it to serve the dishes.
Or maybe she thought the plate was too big and exquisite, and it would be a waste to use it for eating, so she put it aside and never used it.
Later, it seemed that Qin Hexuan said that he could help Qingtian sell it at a good price, so he was allowed to take it away.
It has been a long time since then. If Qingtian hadn't mentioned it, Mrs. Ye would have almost forgotten it.
"Brother Qin said that a Western envoy exchanged this box of gems for my plate, so these gems are now mine!"
Qingtian raised his hands and made a big circle on the table.
"A plate in exchange for so many gems?" Mrs. Ye raised her hand and touched her forehead, then touched Qingtian.
It's not hot at all. It seems that he is not talking nonsense because of a fever.
Boss Ye also found it unbelievable. He asked the same question several times, and when he was about to drive Qingtian crazy, he finally believed the fact.
“This, this too…”
He didn't know how to comment on this matter for a moment. He just felt that the whole thing was too magical. If it hadn't happened to his family, he would definitely not believe it no matter how others described it.
