The master said this with a serious face, dusted himself off, straightened his clothes, and went to wash his hands...
Everyone else couldn't wait to know what the emperor had given them.
After the old man opened the first box, everyone in the room gasped...
The golden color simply blinded their eyes...
"So much gold..." Boss Xu muttered to himself...
"My dear mother is here! I have seen many silver ingots, but this is the first time I have seen gold ingots. This...this is too much!" Wang said excitedly.
The old man exhaled, tried hard to control his trembling hands, and opened the second box, which also contained golden ingots.
"How much is this?" Zhang asked.
"The two boxes together are worth almost 100,000 taels." Qibao said.
"Gah! One hundred thousand taels of gold! Oh my God!" Li said.
The old man opened all the remaining boxes in one go.
"This is a pair of jade ruyi!!"
"These beads are really big!"
"This is a night-shining pearl that can emit light at night." Qibao said.
When Uncle Xu Er heard this, he carefully picked up a bead and went to the backyard...
"Second son! What are you doing? Put it down!" The old man shouted in a low voice, afraid that if he shouted too loudly, his son would lose the ability to hold it. If it broke, he would no longer want this son...
"Dad, it's daytime now. I want to see what the night pearl looks like when it glows. I want to hide under the quilt and take a look." Uncle Xu said with an embarrassed smile.
"You bastard, I thought you were going to run away with the night pearl! Put it down quickly. If you want to see it, it's not too late to wait until night. Put it back! Don't hold it in your hand!" Wang said.
"Oh..." Uncle Xu put the night pearl back obediently.
"What material is this? It's so beautiful, it seems to glow..." said Lin.
"Yeah... what kind of material is this... it looks so smooth..." After saying this, Li wanted to reach out and touch it, but she retracted her hand halfway, fearing that she would accidentally damage the material.
"These are gold and jade ornaments. Our family is not so extravagant as to display these, so you have to keep them well." said the old man.
The old man turned his gaze to the last long wooden box.
Inside lay a rolled-up scroll, which he unfolded:
"A selfless and kind family"
Looking at the eight big words above, the old man's hands trembled a little, and tears were faintly visible in his eyes.
"Old man, what is this?" Wang asked.
The old man said excitedly: "This is the imperial decree written by the current emperor, and it is printed with the national seal. This is the emperor's affirmation of our family!" said the old man.
The old man rolled it up carefully and put it back into the box.
Uncle Xu said, "With these things at home, I can't sleep tonight. What if there's a thief?"
Wang said seriously, "Old man, although you are the head of the family, these are treasures. Qibao came to our Xu family because of you. No one can touch these things. They all belong to Qibao. When Qibao grows up and gets married, these will be Qibao's dowry. Do you have any objections?"
Qibao quickly said, "Grandma, you can't do that. You are also a member of our family, sharing honor and disgrace. Although this reward was obtained because of the prescription, this reward is shared by everyone in our family. Qibao will earn her own dowry. This is the Emperor's reward to our Xu family. This is our shared honor. Qibao cannot claim it for himself."
Zhang said, "Mother, I have no objection. It is already very rare for me to see so many treasures. I have never thought of putting these treasures into my own pocket."
Mrs. Li said, "Yes, mother, these things must be included in Qibao's dowry in the future. This is definitely the most dignified dowry in our Huamen Town. Our Qibao will definitely get married in a grand manner."
"Mom, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, it's too early for Qibao to get married! If this material is kept for a long time, we don't know if it will go bad. How about I use this material to make a piece of clothing for everyone in the family?" said Lin.
"Mom is right. This material is so beautiful. If my uncle, second uncle and dad wear it, they will definitely look like officials. And you, aunt, will look very good in it too. Besides, this material is originally used to make clothes for people to wear." Qibao said.
Wang Shi pondered for a while, feeling a little distressed. She only wanted to give the best to Qibao, but since Qibao had said so herself, she thought it made sense, so she said, "Okay, then I'll listen to Qibao. But the rest of these are all Qibao's."
Qibao said, "Since it's mine, I have the right to dispose of it. I'll give all of it to grandpa and grandma, okay?"
"Oh! My treasure! Grandma is old and doesn't deserve these good things. You keep them for yourself." Wang was cherishing her precious baby for a long time.
The old man's face was also full of joy, and he said: "Granddaughter is really thoughtful, but your grandma said a lot, we don't need such expensive things."
Qibao retorted, "In my eyes, these things are not worthy of grandpa and grandma. In Qibao's mind, family is countless times more important than these things."
The others were deeply moved by what they heard. How could this child be so sensible and endearing? No wonder even the gods accepted her as their disciple.
"If this thing were in grandma's hands, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night because I would have to keep watch over it!" said Wang.
The old man had an idea and said, "Qibao, why don't you take all these things to your master? That way we won't have to worry about them. No one can steal them!"
