Chapter 288 Birthday gift?
The two returned to Nanhuozhai.
From a distance, I saw several unfamiliar carriages parked there.
Yun Fu pulled someone over and asked, only to find out that it was someone from the Cui family.
To be precise, it was Cui Lin who arranged for people to deliver the salt, oil, cloth, etc. that she had mentioned before, which were relatively scarce supplies in the Ghost Prison.
In addition to the basic supplies mentioned by Yun Fu in the letter, there were also several boxes of special styles placed on a carriage.
The guards of the Cui family lifted several boxes from the carriage and opened them one by one in front of Yun Fu.
Yun Fu took a quick look and was almost dazzled by the things in the box.
Qi Hanzhou naturally also saw what was in the box.
The eighteen colors of brocade from Chuzhou?
Fuzhou’s new tea after the rain?
Corals from Jingzhou.
…
There are seven or eight boxes from the largest jade workshop in Dasheng alone.
What does Cui Lin mean?
All the things that were sent to him before were clearly returned, so why is he still not giving up?
Yun Fu was also curious about the meaning of these things appearing here.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "What does Cui Lin mean by this? I don't remember asking for these things in my letter."
The Cui family's steward in charge of transporting these supplies immediately bowed respectfully and said, "The contents of these boxes are birthday gifts from our young master to Princess Yunfu."
"Birthday gift?"
Yun Fu didn’t really care about her birthday. She had never celebrated her birthday seriously in all those years. After her soul traveled to the original owner’s body, she didn’t pay much attention to this matter.
So, he had no idea that the original owner's birthday was approaching.
So much so that after the steward finished speaking, Yun Fu's face looked a little confused.
Qi Hanzhou's face looked grim, and his hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists. Cui Lin remembered Yun Fu's birthday, but he had no idea about it.
In contrast, her husband, who always claimed to love her, was a complete failure.
Xiao Fuer, you must be very disappointed in him.
Qi Hanzhou didn't even dare to turn around and look at Yun Fu's face.
He was timid for a moment, afraid to see disappointment on her face.
But he didn't want Cui Lin's plan to succeed, so he used these things to please Yun Fu.
After a lot of hesitation, Qi Hanzhou spoke with a strong hint of jealousy in his voice, "These things your young master gave me are just that, they can be given to others as birthday gifts, and they might be presentable, but Princess Yunfu has been spoiled since she was a child. She has seen all kinds of good things. Don't bring these things to her."
His words displeased the Cui family's steward. "Our young master learned a month ago that Princess Yunfu's birthday was approaching, and he began preparing gifts. Although these items are not as good as the tribute bestowed by the emperor, they were all personally selected by the young master. This thoughtfulness is unmatched."
"General Qi doesn't think much of these things. Could it be that you gave Princess Yunfu a birthday gift even more valuable than these? Why not bring it out and open the eyes of us, the unsophisticated ones?"
"I..." Qi Hanzhou clenched his hands even tighter, and his knuckles turned white from using too much force.
Yun Fu didn't want to see him embarrassed, so she spoke up to help him out: "The gift he gave me is naturally very valuable, so valuable that I can't bear to show it to others."
After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed at the boxes in front of him and said, "You have to take these things back the same way you brought them here. Tell your master that I appreciate the kindness, but I'll let go of the things."
Yun Fu clearly understands the relationship between herself and Cui Lin.
In her opinion, the relationship between the two is a partnership.
Since they are in a cooperative relationship, it would be inappropriate for her to accept these things and cause gossip.
What’s important is that she knows what Cui Lin feels towards her.
He also knew the purpose of Cui Lin giving him these things.
If she accepted it, Cui Lin would think that he still had a chance.
Of course, these so-called good things.
Yunfu is not that rare at all.
After all, the things in the dog emperor's treasury were much more valuable than these, and she rarely even took a glance when she went in.
The Cui family's steward wanted to persuade her to accept the things.
"Okay, even if Cui Lin comes in person today, I won't accept these things." Yun Fu predicted his words and spoke directly, not letting him finish his words.
The steward had no choice but to take out the letter written by Cui Lin from his pocket, holding it with both hands and handing it to Yun Fu: "Princess Yunfu will not refuse the letter from the young master."
Of course Yun Fu would not refuse Cui Lin's letter.
This letter might contain important news from Cui Lin.
Yun Fu took the thick stack of letters.
Then he signaled them to leave the supplies behind, and based on the outside prices, he added 20% to the price and converted it into black gold stone or medicinal materials to trade for these supplies.
After all, the Cui family needs to spend money to bribe the jailers outside the Guihuang Prison to transport these supplies in.
"The young master said that these things are not valuable. As long as the princess needs them, she can have as many as she wants."
These are Cui Lin’s original words.
These things are really nothing to the Cui family.
But Yunfu has her own ideas and principles. She and Cui Lin want to cooperate, not unilaterally accept his things and repay his favors.
"This is the eighth level area of Ghostly Prison. Here, you have to follow my rules."
She wanted to make these exiled prisoners understand that supplies had to be earned through labor, not just given away from the sky.
This way, things won’t get out of hand.
While unloading the goods from the carriage, Yun Fu also opened the letter from Cui Lin.
Afraid of missing any important information.
Yun Fu read the book very carefully from beginning to end, and really read every word without missing a single one.
After reading it, she only wanted to ask: "Cui Lin, are you sure you didn't take the wrong envelope?"
"What's wrong? What did he write in the letter?" Qi Hanzhou was afraid that Yun Fu would discover his jealous side, so he kept pretending that he didn't care and tried to cover up his emotions by drinking water, but in fact, his heart was about to explode.
"See for yourself."
Only when he saw Yun Fu handing the letter to him did he raise his hand to take it.
Qi Hanzhou read ten lines at a glance and finished reading the contents of the dozen or so sheets of paper in no time.
This is not a letter at all!
It is clearly a travelogue written by Cui Lin.
This person wrote on this paper about the interesting things he experienced while traveling.
On the surface, he was sharing what he saw and heard with his friend Yunfu.
In fact, there are some hidden thoughts.
Qi Hanzhou knew that Cui Lin had never given up his feelings for Yun Fu.
He wanted to use this method to gradually arouse Yunfu's interest in the outside world.
As long as Yun Fu wants to leave, Cui Lin will immediately appear and snatch her away!
