Chapter 133: Qin's Generosity
On this day, a horse-drawn carriage entered Daohua Village, attracting many people to watch.
The villagers had seen the carriage several times, and they were used to seeing it stop at Li Youshan's house.
Qin Yunyi got off the carriage first, and Qin Yuzhen was helped down by Du Juan.
The onlookers couldn't help but exclaim: "This boy is so handsome, and this girl is so beautiful."
"Yes, look at their clothes, they must be from a wealthy family."
The Qin siblings looked around the courtyard without any disdain in their eyes.
Walking into the yard, although the yard is old, it is clean and tidy, with no peculiar smell.
The attendants followed behind carrying two wooden boxes.
After arriving at the main hall, everyone exchanged a few pleasantries. At Qin Yuzhen's signal, Du Juan put the box in her hand on the table.
Qin Yuzhen said: "This is my first visit to your house. This is a small gift for you and your aunt. I hope you like it."
Sun Xiuqin's eyes lit up when she heard this. A lady from a rich family, it seemed that she had a good relationship with her sister-in-law. Could she have given her some jewelry?
If she had any jewelry, I wonder if her sister-in-law would give her one.
Miss Qin was talking about the gift for everyone, so whoever sees it will get one.
She didn't ask for much, just one thing would be enough.
Zhao Suying refused: "How can this be so embarrassing? Miss Qin is a good friend of my Yueyue, and we are also partners in business. How can we accept such an expensive gift?"
Qin Yunyi said in a gentle voice: "Aunt, please accept it. This is Zhenzhen's gift."
"You are too polite. Now that you are here, treat this place as your home. You are welcome."
Qin Yuzhen smiled and pointed to another box: "Sister Yue, this is a small bottle I asked someone to make. I hope you can make the facial cream in the next few days."
"Okay, I'll make it for you and send it to the store within three days."
A few people chatted and at noon they invited the two siblings to have lunch.
The two siblings realized the difference of the dining table only after they sat down. Qin Yunyi's eyes lit up after he saw it. The design of this table was wonderful.
He looked at Li Wanyue and asked, "Miss Li, can you sell me the design of this table?"
"I'm sorry, the design has been sold to someone else. If you are interested, you can go to Moxiangzhai's Shen to discuss it."
Even if Li Wanyue didn't say it, with the strength of the Qin family, it would take only a few days to find out who was making this kind of table.
Jingchao is so big that the Shen family alone may not be able to take care of such a big plate. If he wants to make more money, he can also cooperate with Qin Yunyi.
"Thank you for letting me know. Miss Li, you can call me by my name, or you can just call me by my name. Calling me the host seems a bit strange."
"Isn't that what the young master calls me?"
Qin Yun also smiled and said, "Then I'll change it. Wanyue, Zhenzhen and I have moved to Qingshi Town. I'm afraid she will come to your house often to bother you in the next few days. I hope you can tolerate her."
"few……"
Qin Yun also pretended to be displeased.
Li Wanyue changed her tone: "Yunyi, don't worry, she is always welcome to come to me."
Qin Yun also smiled and nodded.
Lunch brought some novelty to the two people who had eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, and they ate half a bowl of rice more than usual.
On the contrary, Li Sandong lowered his head and ate in silence. He ate more politely than usual and only ate a small bowl of rice.
Li Wanyue glanced at him with amusement.
After dinner, Qin Yuzhen had something to whisper, and Li Wanyue took her to her room.
Qin Yuzhen took out a purse from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Li Wanyue.
"Sister Yue, your brother helped me last time. The jewelry I prepared are all suitable for girls, so I picked out a peace jade pendant for him as a thank you gift. But I'm afraid that others will know and gossip about it, so I want you to pass it to him on my behalf."
Li Wanyue took it: "Okay, I'll give it to him for you."
Qin Yuzhen smiled and chatted for a while before leaving with Qin Yunyi.
Back in the main room, Zhao Suying sat there as if she had lost her soul.
Li Wanyue raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes: "Mom."
Zhao Suying came back to her senses and asked in a low voice: "Yueyue, why did the Qin family girl give you such an expensive gift? I saw there are 1,000 taels of silver notes under the jewelry box."
Li Wanyue raised her eyebrows slightly, flipped through the box and took a look. Sure enough, there were a few silver bills at the bottom of the box.
She picked up a green jade bracelet, which was very watery and flawless, and was a top-quality product.
Taking a closer look, I saw that the jade jewelry was a set, including a jade hairpin, a jade bracelet, and drop-bead earrings, each a pair.
There are also a pair of gold hairpins, a pair of silver hairpins, a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of pearl earrings, a pearl necklace, and a pair of agate bracelets.
Wow! She is indeed a wealthy family in the county, so generous. But I have already accepted it. I will give her some discounts in future business.
"Mom, one time when we went to the county town, Miss Qin's carriage broke down, and Sandong and I helped her. She kept saying that she wanted to come and thank the Qin family. The Qin family is generous, so this is her thank-you gift."
"You're giving me so much as a thank you gift just for repairing a carriage? Miss Qin is really generous."
"Since they are giving it to us sincerely, we should just accept it."
Zhao Suying: "Yueyue, if you want to cooperate with her in business, please lower the price. These things are too expensive."
"I see."
Li Wanyue put the jade bracelet on her hand and took a gold bracelet and put it on Zhao Suying's hand.
"When mother puts on this bracelet, she looks rich and noble."
"This is made of gold. Whoever wears it will be rich." Zhao Suying said with a smile, "This is a thank-you gift from someone. Keep it for yourself and use it as a dowry in the future. Isn't it said that jewelry can also be deposited in a bank? Just deposit it together with the banknotes first."
Li Wanyue had already learned about this when she went to the money house to deposit money.
In this dynasty, money houses did not charge any interest for depositing money, and even charged a storage fee.
For amounts above one thousand taels, the storage fee is one tael of silver per year; for amounts above ten thousand taels, the storage fee is ten taels, and so on.
If you calculate it, it's not expensive, after all, it's guarded by the government.
Li Wanyue said, "It's okay, mother. You can save the banknotes and keep these jewellery well."
"This is a gift from someone. Put it in your room."
"Let's each keep half."
Zhao Suying nodded: "Okay."
Li Wanyue picked out the set of jade jewelry and asked Zhao Suying to keep the others.
At this time, Sun Xiuqin came into the main room with a small broom. She smiled and said, "The dining table and floor haven't been swept yet. I'll come in and sweep it."
Out of the corner of his eye he saw the bracelets on their hands and he walked forward with his eyes wide open.
"My goodness, this bracelet is so beautiful. When I wear it, I look like an old lady from a wealthy family. It's so elegant."
Zhao Suying took off the bracelet and said, "Okay, go and pack it up. Keep these for Yueyue and the children as betrothal gifts and dowries in the future."
Sun Xiuqin was a little disappointed, but when she thought that her son and daughter would get one when they get married, she went to pack it up contentedly.
Anyway, she already has a silver hairpin.
Li Wanyue found Li Sandong and gave him the jade pendant: "This is a gift from Yuzhen to you, thanking you for helping her that day."
Li Sandong's heart beat faster. He took it carefully. The jade pendant felt warm to the touch and must be very valuable.
"Sister, I didn't help much, why did she give me such an expensive gift?"
Should I send her one in return?
But wouldn't that just be sending each other tokens of love? That's not possible.
"Just keep it if you give it to me."
Li Sandong responded and carefully put it in his arms.
