Chapter 60 Gifting Cloud Brocade
Wang Dahu gently picked up a piece, shook it open, looked at it in the sunlight, and touched it again.
His face showed both joy and regret.
Ye Mingzhu looked at him in confusion: "Uncle, is there something wrong with this fabric?"
"This is Yunjin. It looks shiny and feels smooth. It's very rare. This one has a Ruyi cloud pattern, this one has a peony pattern, this one has a round flower pattern, and this one has a swastika pattern. Each piece has a different pattern. It's really rare."
Ye Mingzhu only thought that these pieces of cloth were rare, but she didn't expect them to be so precious.
"Uncle, there's water here, will it have any impact?"
Seeing Wang Dahu's delighted face, Ye Mingzhu pointed to the place where the water was soaked.
Wang Dahu waved his hand: "It's not all soaked in water. When cutting clothes, just try to avoid this part."
Anyway, they are just selling fabrics, not clothes. If they don’t like it getting soaked in water, they can just discard it.
"Mingzhu, I plan to take this cloth to the manager. He knows more people than I do, and cloth like this can be sold at a good price." Wang Dahu thought for a moment, and finally decided to hand over the cloth.
Even if the price is not as high as the retail price, there will be no subsequent problems and you can get the money quickly.
"How much does this fabric cost?" Ye Mingzhu asked.
"A few years ago, it was said that Yunjin was worth its weight in gold. Only in recent years, with the increase in weavers, has the price dropped slightly. But only the rich and powerful can afford it. It's really too expensive."
"Even if these brocades are soaked in water, the price they sell for won't be low. Each piece can be sold for at least two or three hundred taels."
Ye Mingzhu was really shocked. She didn't expect that just a few pieces of cloth could be sold for thousands of taels.
Think about it again, some people nowadays wear clothes that cost dozens of dollars, while others wear high-end custom-made clothes that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It is understandable that in ancient times, some people wore cloth worth dozens of wen, while others wore cloth worth hundreds or even thousands of taels.
"Uncle, look at these patterns. Pick the one that my aunt likes for her." Ye Mingzhu pointed to the cloth in Wang Dahu's hand.
Wang Dahu reminded Ye Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, this is a piece of cloth worth several hundred taels."
Ye Mingzhu chuckled: "Uncle, when you gave me the gems yesterday, you didn't hesitate to give them away because they were valuable. These fabrics were just fished out of the sea by me. I didn't spend any money on them."
Wang Dahu raised his hand to hit her head, but looking at the woman's bun on her head, he retracted his hand. The cloth was too expensive. Even if Mingzhu didn't spend money to buy it, she would die if she was not careful when fishing in the sea.
"Does my uncle dislike the fact that the cloth is soaked in water?" Ye Mingzhu asked with a smile when she saw that he was slow to speak.
"This cloth is too valuable. It must have taken you a lot of effort to fish it out." Wang Dahu thought about selling the cloth so that Ye Mingzhu and her brother would have more savings and their future life would be better.
"No matter how valuable it is, it's not as valuable as my uncle's care for us." Ye Mingzhu insisted, "Just consider it a gift from me to my aunt."
Wang Dahu finally accepted the fabrics. He thought that he would first show them to the chief manager for his approval before giving them to Jiang Yue. He thought that the effect would be better.
"Mingzhu, don't worry, your uncle will definitely not let you suffer any loss. Once these things are sold, your uncle will have someone send the money to you."
Ye Mingzhu shook her head: "Uncle, these things must be worth a lot of money if they are sold. We don't feel at ease holding so much money."
Various gold, silver and jewelry in the space: ...
Wang Dahu hesitated for a moment and said, "How about buying some land or a shop?"
Ye Mingzhu's eyes lit up. She thought this was a great idea: "Then buy a shop and rent it out. Yun An and I don't know how to farm, so we have to rent out the land we buy."
Wang Dahu was more inclined to buy land: "Mingzhu, I suggest you buy a small farm near the county. That way, it will be convenient to send some of the harvest to you, and your income will be stable."
"Okay, I'll buy a shop when I have money in the future." As a person who has rarely been out of the house, Ye Mingzhu mainly listens to advice.
"Okay, then I'll go back and look after the shop for you. You can buy it when you have money." Wang Dahu laughed.
Ye Mingzhu didn't care. There were so many things in her space. If she took some out and sold them, she would definitely be able to buy a shop. But she wanted to keep a low profile at this stage.
"Uncle, this is also for my aunt." Ye Mingzhu took out the coral that was shown yesterday.
Wang Dahu refused to accept it. "Mingzhu, you are the younger generation. Just give Yunjin as a gift. How can you give such an expensive thing to others casually?"
Ye Mingzhu: "I didn't give it to anyone casually. Isn't this a gift for my aunt?"
Wang Dahu shook his head: "We are not married yet. It's okay to talk about it in private, but you can't do that in person. There is no need to give so many gifts. Keep this. You can make it into jewelry and wear it yourself when you have the chance."
Ye Mingzhu firmly pushed it into his hand: "Then my uncle can have it made into jewelry. Consider it my advance wedding gift to my uncle. You can't refuse it."
Wang Dahu had no choice. His niece was really too generous. He was determined to raise the price of Yunjin so that Mingzhu would not suffer too much loss.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Dahu packed all his things into boxes, took incense, candles and paper money, and went to pay homage to his sister and brother-in-law.
Ye's father and mother were buried in the Ye family's ancestral tomb, and the original owner had only been there once.
Uncle Ye, who had just arrived, took the initiative to take a few people to the Ye family's ancestral tomb. Wang Dahu knelt in front of the tomb with tears streaming down his face.
Uncle Ye walked away a little. Ye Mingzhu and Ye Yun'an knelt down with Wang Dahu, helped burn paper money, and listened to Wang Dahu chattering about his experiences over the years.
Finally, Wang Dahu swore: "Sister, brother-in-law, don't worry, I will treat Mingzhu and Yun'an as my own children and will take good care of them."
Ye Mingzhu kowtowed sincerely in front of the grave: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Yun An in the future, help him start a family, and pass on the Ye family legacy."
She now considers herself the original owner, and these are her responsibilities.
When the two returned from the Ye family's ancestral tomb, a carriage was already waiting outside the Ye family's door.
The driver saw Wang Dahu and grinned, "Brother Hu, the head shopkeeper told you to go back as soon as possible. He has something to discuss with you."
"Okay." Wang Dahu nodded, went into the house to move the things out and put them on the carriage.
"Go back. I'll come back to see you when I have time." Wang Dahu waved at the two of them and asked the driver to drive.
Ye Mingzhu and Ye Yun'an waited until the carriage was out of sight before walking back home.
Wang Dahu was chatting with the driver. The driver glanced inside the car and said, "Brother Hu, these are all given to you by your sister."
Wang Dahu had just finished paying homage to his sister and brother-in-law. He was in a bad mood and just shook his head without saying anything.
Seeing this, the driver said nothing more.
Wang Dahu kept his eyes closed. When he arrived at the inn in the town, he changed his clothes first and then went to see the manager with two suitcases.
