Wang smiled and said, "They are all my grandchildren. I love them all the same."
The old man said, "Then the second and third brothers should stay at home! You two brothers will decide on household matters. If you can't decide, ask Qibao."
After hearing this, Xu Laoer and Xu Laosan did not think it was inappropriate and agreed as a matter of course.
"Okay, everyone should go to bed early tonight, get up before dawn tomorrow, and reach Qingyun City as soon as possible." said the old man.
Qibao suddenly remembered that she had not yet taken out the set of diamond jewelry she had carved. She was afraid that her grandparents would pass away early tomorrow and she would not have time to take it out.
"Aunt, wait a minute, I'll go get something." After Qibao said that, he hurried to his room, picked up the jewelry box from the space, and ran back to the front hall.
Qibao said, "Aunt, this is the set of jewelry I promised to make with diamonds as a betrothal gift. It's already been made."
Zhang took the wooden box and opened it. In the light of the fire, the butterfly on the jewelry shone brightly, and the people who saw it were amazed.
"It's so beautiful! So sparkly!"
Not only everyone in the Xu family, but even Jing Chen and Su Chenyu were a little surprised.
They had never seen such crystal clear and sparkling jewelry.
"Qibao, what is this? Why is it glowing?" Su Chenyu asked curiously.
"This material is called diamond, and I got it by chance!" Qibao said.
"If jewelry like this could be made and sold in the capital, it would definitely be snapped up. Even if it's worth a few thousand or tens of thousands of taels, it would still be snapped up by wealthy ladies and young ladies!" Su Chenyu said with shining eyes.
Qibao said, "I don't have much. Even if I opened a jewelry store, I wouldn't be able to get diamonds just by wanting them."
Su Chenyu said, "Even if it takes three months or six months to make one set, it will be fine. This way, your shop will not only have a good reputation, but also your business will definitely be good."
Qibao thought for a moment and said, "That will only be possible if I go to the capital that day!"
In fact, she had come up with a good idea. Su Chenyu's idea was indeed feasible. She could draw, so she could imitate the patterns of many current jewelry and find a jewelry craftsman who specialized in this field to make them. That would definitely be a good idea.
Su Chenyu said: "Okay! I will help you find a shop in the capital when the time comes."
Qibao nodded and said, "Okay, but we'll need two craftsmen who can make jewelry. Please keep an eye out for them for me when the time comes."
Jing Chen said: "Leave the matter of finding a craftsman to me!"
Su Chenyu curled her lips, but it was true that Jingchen could find a master craftsman with superb skills. After all, there were many craftsmen in the palace who specialized in making jewelry for concubines, and those with poor skills could not enter the palace at all.
Wang said, "This set must be worth a lot of money, right?"
Su Chenyu said: "That's right, things are valuable because they are rare. If this set were in the capital, there would be many people rushing to buy it for tens of thousands of taels of silver."
"Wow, a set of jewelry is so expensive! Then our bracelet must not be cheap either!" said Zhang.
Mrs. Li also remembered the bracelet Qibao had given her before. She still kept it locked in the cabinet in her room. She said with emotion, "Qibao, you always think of us. You gave one each to your mother and your grandmother, which shows your filial piety. You also gave one each to me and your aunt."
Qibao stepped forward, took Zhang and Li's hands, and said, "Aunt, Second Aunt, you treat me like your own daughters. It's my duty to respect you. Good things are most meaningful when shared by a family."
Zhang patted Qibao's head lovingly and said, "Look at you! Your elder brother's betrothal gift still requires you, as his younger sister, to worry about it! Is your hand hurt?"
Qibao shook her head and said, "No, as your younger sister, I'm definitely going to take your eldest brother's marriage seriously. Besides, he's so kind to me. I just made a set of jewelry. It didn't take much effort."
Xu Wenwu felt warm in his heart. His sister was so sensible and always cared about her family. He could only love such a sister with all his heart.
Jing Chen looked carefully. The cross-sections of the butterfly wings were almost the same size. It was obvious that the little girl had put a lot of effort into it. He wondered how long it had taken her to make such a valuable set of jewelry. He actually felt a little distressed.
The family packed up and counted the betrothal gifts. There were eight sets of gold headpieces, eight sets of silver headpieces, and eight sets of emerald headpieces. There were also a lot of gold, silver and jade ornaments, as well as various fine brocade fabrics. In addition, there was the 10,010 taels of good omen prepared by the Xu family, Qibao's set of diamond headpieces, and a pair of live geese. This betrothal gift was not light.
After writing down the gift list, the old man put it in his arms and said, "When we get to Qingyun City, we'll ask around and find a matchmaker with a good reputation to come with us."
Wang nodded and said, "Hasn't Zhiyong decided to go to Qingyun City to do business with the scholar?"
Zhang sighed and said, "Well, the child is packing his things in his room!"
Wang nodded and said, "The child is grown up and has his own ideas. We will support him. Well, it's getting late now. Let's all go back and rest! We have to get up early tomorrow."
Then everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, before dawn, there was a noise at Xu's house.
Qibao originally thought that he could sleep until dawn, but he was awakened by the noise of moving things. He put on his clothes, rubbed his eyes, and walked out of the room.
Then I saw Kui Wu and several servants carrying the betrothal gifts into the carriage.
Wang was dressed very neatly, her clothes were all brand new, and she even had a hairpin in her hair. She looked very different from the usual plain old lady, and she had a smile on her face.
"Qibao, did I wake you up?"
Qibao said, "No, I got up because I was planning to have Yueyang, Yuexiao, and Yuebing take you to Qingyun City. I feel more at ease with a few martial artists around."
Wang did not refuse. There could not be any mistakes with this betrothal gift, so she agreed.
Qibao, Yueyang and the other two gave some explanations, and the other three nodded happily.
This made the remaining nine people extremely envious, as they had never traveled far!
Qibao said, "Don't look at me like that. I plan to let you go out and gain some experience to broaden your horizons."
Yuexue asked expectantly, "Miss, when?"
Qibao said, "Wait until Yueyang and the others return from Qingyun City."
There was surprise on everyone's face.
Qibao said, "Don't be too happy too soon. Although your kung fu is good, people out there are treacherous. If you suffer a loss, don't come back to me crying."
"Miss, don't worry. If anyone makes us suffer, I will beat him to a pulp!" Yue Jiao said viciously, clenching her fists.
Qibao smiled and said, "You are the one I am most worried about!"
Yue Jiao said angrily, "Miss, I'm not the crybaby Yue Jiao I used to be. Please don't underestimate me."
The others laughed when they heard this.
After spending several years together, the twelve people have become like real brothers and sisters, and their relationship is very close. Qibao is also very satisfied. Only when the people under her are united, she will have no worries when doing things.
