He jumped out of the window in a flash and disappeared in the main hall of the Lu family in an instant.
Only one sentence remained in the room: "These are all gifts of thanks from my master to you two. Don't forget to accept them. The master said that we will meet again someday if we are lucky enough!"
Lin Yunchu and Lu Yanzhou opened their eyes wide, and before they could come to their senses, the person in front of them had disappeared.
The two looked at the empty room. If it weren't for the silver bills in Lu Yanzhou's hand and the thank-you gifts all over the room, they would have really thought they had just had a dream.
Chu Jiu seemed to be a person who appeared in the dream, and disappeared in a flash.
The two looked out the window and saw only a thin layer of snow on the ground, as if no one had ever been there.
Lin Yunchu and the other person looked at each other and blinked. They felt a little amused and helpless at Chu Jiu's reaction. He was in such a hurry to leave, as if he was afraid that Lin Yunchu and the other person would not accept these things.
But......
Looking at the room full of thank-you gifts and the banknotes in their hands, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little troubled.
It seems a bit inappropriate to accept this, as the thank-you gift is too expensive.
If they don't accept it, they will lose the money. Where can they return it if the person is missing? At least they know the addresses or identities of the two people so that they can check. Now they don't know anything and don't know how to return it even if they want to.
"Forget it, we saved his life, and it's not easy to keep these gifts. Let's just accept them as a thank you."
Lu Yanzhou frowned slightly, and after a brief thought, he said, "Let's keep these banknotes for now. If we meet him again one day, we can return them to him."
It seemed that these gifts were all selected for them and the Lin family by Xiao Er's instructions. The clothes and materials were all unobtrusive but of good quality.
The farmers' clothes are comfortable and inconspicuous, and the tea, cakes and snacks are things that cannot be kept. If they don't eat them, they will go bad if left alone.
But there were too many banknotes, and they would feel uneasy if they accepted them. Besides, didn’t Chu Jiu just say that they would meet again if they had the chance?
Although he didn't know what it meant, he had a premonition that they and Xiao Erchujiu would meet again in the future, and they would return the banknotes then.
When he and Lin Yunchu rescued people, they really didn't think about getting any benefits, they just couldn't help but watch them die.
Now all they have to do is make sure that Xiao Er, whom they rescued, is not a bad guy. This way they can feel at ease. As for these banknotes, they can forget about them.
Hearing Lu Yanzhou's words, Lin Yunchu's eyes flashed, and then he nodded.
She and Lu Yanzhou had the same idea. They just accepted the gifts, which was nothing special. However, these banknotes looked like they were worth at least a few hundred or a thousand taels.
This is really too much. If I accept it, I'm afraid I'll be thinking about it every day, which will make me feel uneasy.
"Take it back and put it away first. It won't be safe to leave it here when I'm not home for a few days."
Lu Yanzhou curled the corners of his mouth and handed all the banknotes that Chu Jiu had just given him to Lin Yunchu. There was no hesitation in his action, as if he had been used to it for a long time.
Lin Yunchu did not refuse. What Lu Yanzhou said was right. After the New Year, they would be leaving for the imperial examination soon. It would be fine to keep the banknote with her.
Thinking of this, Lin Yunchu took the banknote and put it in his pocket. He lowered his head and looked at the gifts with some worry. There were really too many things.
Lu Yanzhou seemed to see through her thoughts and said softly, "Have your eldest brother come over later and move all these things to the Lin family together. They will be ready for the New Year."
There were only him and his grandmother in the Lu family, and they didn't need much, and he went to the Lin family for dinner almost every day.
The Lin family prepared meals and sent them to Grandma every day without any hesitation. There was no use for these things to stay in the Lu family.
Lin Yunchu nodded and did not refuse. He was thinking about what excuse he should find to explain to his elder brother later, so that he would not have to explain so many things when he returned.
When Xiao Er was rescued, only Lin Changan knew that there was someone living in the Lu family, but he didn't know what happened in detail.
But she had instructed not to talk about Xiao Er's affairs outside, and not to let the Lin family know, so as not to worry them.
Lin Changan always listened to her, so the Lin family knew nothing about this matter, so there was no need to explain too much.
After noon, Lin Changting arrived at the Lu family and moved all the things back. Lin Yunchu picked out a lot of things that Lu Yanzhou could use and took the fabrics back.
In the evening, she picked out some good-looking but low-key fabrics and asked Lin's mother to make some new clothes for Lu Yanzhou.
After the New Year, Lu Yanzhou will go to take part in the imperial examination, and he will not be in Qingxi Village for a long time, so make a few more sets of clothes for him.
The materials she picked out may not look conspicuous, but the quality and feel are excellent, and they won't be looked down upon by outsiders when worn outside.
When Mother Lin heard that it was made for Lu Yanzhou, she nodded immediately. She said that it had to be made carefully. It was almost the New Year and she had nothing to do, so she started to work.
Then it won't be a problem for Yanzhou to take it with him when he goes out. It's different outside than in the village. She can make a few more sets while she is free.
Aunt Lu is old now and her eyesight is not good enough to do needlework, so she has to help with more care. It just so happens that Yun Chu brought back some extra materials from somewhere.
Even if we make two sets for everyone in the family, it would be more than enough. But now we should focus on Lu Yanzhou. He will need to take them out when the time comes. We can make them for our family members when they are free.
As the New Year was drawing to a close, Chu Jiu had just sent a thank-you gift, and then Xue Jingran also sent someone to deliver a New Year gift to the Lin family.
The Lin family was a little surprised when they saw the servants from the Xue Mansion moving boxes of things into the Lin family's house. There were too many things being delivered.
Although the Lin family had some dealings with Xue Jingran's restaurant, they would not give so many New Year gifts, and the Lin family was just an ordinary farming family.
The Xue family is a wealthy family in the town. If it weren't for the cooperation between Lin Yunchu and Yipin Pavilion, the Lin family and the Xue family would never have any relationship at all.
Lin Yunchu couldn't help but curl her lips as she listened to the last message from the servant of the Xue Mansion. She turned to Lin's father and mother and said comfortingly, "Dad, Mom, these are the New Year gifts from Master Xue. It would be bad if we don't accept them."
It turned out that Xue Jingran came back from inspecting the surrounding shops and heard what Manager Zhou said about the fish balls and kimchi sent by the Lin family, which made Yipintang's winter business much better than last year.
Last year, Xue Jingran also sent New Year gifts to the Lin family, but this year, due to the business of Yipintang, he gave much more.
