Chapter 449 After all, it is the son's filial piety

Zhou Yunyi rode back to the Treasure Pavilion and almost threw the six thousand taels of silver in Yu Yongbai's face.

"Wrap it up for me!" Zhou Yunyicai ordered the shopkeeper in a rude manner.

The shopkeeper was smiling and quick-handed, uttering a string of free compliments, and respectfully presented the brocade box containing the warm jade with both hands.

With tears in her eyes, Wang Jiajia leaned shyly on Zhou Yunyi's arms: "Yilang, you are so good to me."

Zhou Yunyi was radiant and he even sneered at Yu Yongbai when he passed by him. He looked so proud, like a rooster that had won a battle.

Yu Yongbai was not annoyed at all. He just bowed to Zhou Yunyi leisurely and watched Zhou Yunyi and Wang Jiajia go out with a smile.

After they left, the shopkeeper came over with a smile on his face and said, "Boss, why don't you come here every day from now on? Just standing there and talking for a few minutes, you can make thousands of taels of silver. If I could have such good business every day, I would wake up with a smile in my dreams."

Yu Yongbai patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's quit while we're ahead. Fools like that don't come around every day. If you run into one occasionally, you should thank God for his gift."

They smiled at each other.

Everyone was having fun in the Treasure Pavilion. Zhou Yunyi and Wang Jiajia were in the carriage, and the atmosphere was a little subtle.

The reason was that Zhou Yunyi discussed with Wang Jiajia that he wanted to take away a piece of warm jade.

Wang Jiajia's expression almost froze: "Ah? Why?"

However, Wang Jiajia reacted quickly, and coquettishly said: "Yilang, you paid for these warm jades, so of course I agree with you... But, I was thinking that in two days it will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the birthday of the eldest daughter of the Duke of Xin's mansion, and I also received an invitation. Originally, I thought that I would take these three pieces of warm jade with me, so that others would know that Yilang's love for me is obvious to the world..."

Zhou Yunyi did not suspect anything, he just held Wang Jiajia's hand and explained: "Jiajia, I know you don't care about these pieces of warm jade. It's just that I bought these three pieces, and I'm a little short of silver. I have to ask my mother for some silver to make up for it when I go back tonight. Don't I have to take a piece of warm jade to please my mother?"

Zhou Yunyi looked at Wang Jiajia affectionately, "Jiajia, I know you are the most sensible person and you will definitely understand me, right?"

Although Wang Jiajia was a little reluctant, she smiled and nodded since Zhou Yunyi had said this: "Yilang, I understand. Besides, your mother will be my mother in the future, so why wouldn't I be willing to show my respect to her?"

Wang Jiajia blushed and pushed the brocade box on her knees to Zhou Yunyi, taking out the smallest piece of warm jade: "You can give the two bigger and more beautiful ones to my aunt. I only want this small one."

Zhou Yunyi was deeply moved.

His Jia Jia was always so pure, kind and wonderful. Compared with that evil-minded Gong Qingniang who even asked him for interest, they were like heaven and earth!

Zhou Yunyi took the smallest piece of warm jade from Wang Jiajia's hand and pushed the remaining two pieces to Wang Jiajia: "Jiajia, I'll take this one, you take the rest and take good care of yourself."

With tears in her eyes, Wang Jiajia looked at Zhou Yunyi tenderly: "Yilang, you treat me so well..."

The two hugged each other.

…

Zhou Yunyi returned to the mansion and went straight to the main courtyard, the residence of the wife of Marquis Weibei.

The maid was bringing ginseng soup to the wife of Marquis Weibei.

When Lady Weibei Marquis saw the ginseng soup, she frowned and asked, "Why is the blood ginseng used in today's ginseng soup different from the one I usually use? What's going on?"

The old woman smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, the blood ginseng you used in the past were all sent by Miss Gong. They were all carefully selected and brought from the Western Regions by Miss Gong's caravan. A few days ago, Miss Gong broke off the engagement with our Seventh Young Master. The kitchen went out to buy for a long time, but couldn't buy one of that quality..."

At present, the old lady is the housekeeper. Each courtyard has its own set rules for food, clothing and expenses. The blood ginseng that the wife of Weibei Marquis usually takes as supplements is obviously beyond the standard. Logically, this should be paid for by the master in need.

There are some top-quality blood ginsengs, but the price is...

The wife of Weibei Marquis was upset and said with a sullen face: "Forget it, we don't need her blood ginseng!"

The old woman didn't dare to say anything else. She just lowered her head and responded submissively, but she was muttering in her heart.

Why didn't Madam say this when she was eating and using Miss Gong's red ginseng?

And their Seventh Young Master really has no idea what's going on.

He didn't even look at how much good things their main courtyard had enjoyed from Miss Gong. Even if you feed a dog, the dog would know to wag its tail. How could people be like their Seventh Young Master, who took it for granted that he was enjoying the good things brought by Miss Gong, while pinching his nose and complaining that she was full of copper odor.

The old woman felt very sad when she thought about the heavy money bag that Miss Gong stuffed into her hands every time, and she was afraid that she would never have it again. She wanted to wake up the Seventh Young Master who had no idea at all.

I don't know if the old woman's mutterings were heard by God, but the seventh young master, who had no idea what was going on, rushed in in a hurry, shouting "Mom".

The wife of Weibei Marquis stood up and greeted him, saying in a somewhat annoyed tone: "You are so old, why are you still so impetuous?... Look at the sweat on your head."

The wife of Weibei Marquis used a handkerchief to wipe the thin layer of sweat off Zhou Yunyi's head. Zhou Yunyi did not hide. After the wife of Weibei Marquis wiped the sweat off his head, he took out the warm jade wrapped in the handkerchief from his arms and presented it to the wife of Weibei Marquis like a treasure: "Mother, look, what is this?"

When Lady Weibei Marquis saw it, she exclaimed, "This is a good thing. Is this... warm jade?"

Lady Weibei was obviously very happy holding it in her hand.

Warm jade is considered rare in the capital, and the wife of Marquis Weibei has only seen one piece from Gong Qingniang.

"Is this given to me by my son?" Lady Weibei was surprised and happy.

When Zhou Yunyi saw the genuine joy on the face of the wife of Marquis Weibei, a slight trace of guilt flashed through his heart.

But soon, he admitted with a righteous indignation: "Yes, mother, when I was shopping, I saw this piece of warm jade. This piece of warm jade is much better and much larger than Gong Qingniang's. Mother, at that time I thought that as the wife of Weibei Marquis, you should have such a piece of warm jade."

The wife of Weibei Marquis was so coaxed by Zhou Yunyi that she smiled happily: "You are so good, boy. I was wondering why you asked your long-term servant to come back and take out some money. When I asked your long-term servant, he didn't tell me. So you bought this piece of warm jade for me?"

Lady Weibei Marquis was extremely happy. Although the color of this top-grade water-mist warm jade could not compare with the top-grade jadeite she was wearing, Lady Weibei still couldn't help herself from being delighted.

After all, it is the son's filial piety!

"That's right, mother..." Zhou Yunyi hugged the shoulders of the wife of Weibei Marquis and said with a playful smile, "I bought this warm jade at that time and spent some money, but it was not enough. Unfortunately, the store didn't allow me to put it on the account, so I asked a friend to pay for it first..."
