Chapter 714 Isn't it too offensive?
Because there was no time, Liu Ji didn't have time to see what those gifts were.
But he was not in a hurry. Anyway, he and his wife were in the same family, and what she owned was his.
Perhaps because he didn't let the coachman disturb his sweet dream, the lady will give him a reward later.
At this moment, Liu Ji has completely forgotten his angry declaration yesterday that he couldn't survive because of a hair and Qin Yao.
Sikong saw this guy, he showed his courtesy for nothing, he was either a traitor or a thief!
Liu Ji kept trying to make innuendoes with his fellow coachman all the way. Unfortunately, the coachman was just an errand and couldn't ask any questions at all.
He only said that your Excellency attached great importance to this gift, and specifically asked him to see Qin Yao accept the gift in person.
Of course, when it comes to this coachman, he also hinted at Liu Ji. Remember to hide it for yourself when the time comes.
“Don't worry, I, Liu Ji, am the most committed person and I will never betray you.” Liu Ji patted the coachman on the shoulder and said affectionately.
The driver secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
So, when Qin Yao woke up and opened the door, she was blocked by a pile of gifts.
Yin Le stood guard outside the door. When he saw this, he called out in surprise: "Master, you're awake. I'll heat up your breakfast."
"Wait a minute!" Qin Yao stopped the person, pointed at the pair of red and green gift boxes at the door, and asked: "What are these?"
Yin Le slapped his head and said, "I was so focused on standing in the military posture that I forgot about it. This was sent by the driver of the Imperial Prefecture this morning. He said it was a gift from his family to you, Master."
Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, "Just give it to me by force? No explanation?"
Yin Le shook his head, as if he really didn't.
Qin Yao waved her hand, signaling her to get busy.
I knelt down and looked at these beautifully packaged gift boxes. There were eight boxes in total. I picked up the top palm-sized box and shook it. I didn't hear any noise. It must be that the items inside were fixed.
Adhering to the idea of not giving things for nothing, Qin Yao moved a small bench and sat at the door, basking in the rare sunshine while opening the gift box.
There are probably few people in this world who don't like opening gifts, especially those with such packaging. They often look forward to surprises.
However, two thumb-sized golden mandarin ducks were taken out of the first small box, a pair of concentric silver locks were taken out of the second box, and twelve silk flowers, one papaya, and some rouge and gouache were taken out of the third box. .
“What are these things!” Qin Yao put down the last long peach tree branch speechlessly, feeling that she had been fooled.
To be honest, she was very disappointed with the pile of gifts!
Except for the thumb-sized golden mandarin ducks, they are all pure gold ingots. After weighing them, there must be seven or eight taels.
Yin Le brought the breakfast and saw the objects all over the floor. She had not expected it, so she did not feel disappointed. She just felt something was strange.
“Master, are these gifts from the imperial master?” Yin Le put the tray on the small table in the room, walked to the door, and squatted down.
She glanced at Qin Yao first, and after getting her approval, she picked up the peach branches, papayas, etc. on the ground, and looked at them from left to right, no matter how weird they looked.
"Master, I haven't read any books, but these peach branches and papayas don't seem to be given away casually. And those silk flowers and concentric locks, why do they look more and more like they are given to my sweetheart?"
After saying the words "sweetheart", Yin Le finally knew what was wrong. Your Majesty's Majesty, sending these ambiguous objects with unknown meaning to a married woman is like sending a token of love. Isn't this misleading?
That's so offensive!
Yin Le looked up and saw his master's expression, and his face darkened as expected.
He said in a cold voice: "Take it to light the fire!"
After saying that, he only took away the pair of pure gold mandarin ducks, got up and went into the house to have breakfast.
Yin Le looked at the box of beautiful silk flowers and concentric locks, and asked hesitantly: "Write this too?"
Qin Yao drank the meat porridge and said casually: "If you like it, just take it and dispose of it."
Yin Le immediately blessed his body with joy, "Thank you, Master!"
She put away all the items except papayas and peach branches, planning to take them out and set up a stall to sell to Aunt Yu and Zhang Guizhi soon.
The pair of concentric locks are beautifully made, the silk flowers are also made of fine silk material, and they look very unique. There are also those rouge and gouache. They all look good and will definitely sell well.
Yin Le went to throw the peach branches and papayas into the stove as soon as he said it, and then went to find a tablecloth to cover a small table. He took the gifts on the table and went out.
There is an old elm tree at the entrance of the alley, and under the elm tree is a fruit stall. The young wives and old ladies in Kuanzhengfang like to come here to join in the fun. If they are lucky, they can eat bad fruits.
Since moving to Kuanzhengfang, Yin Le has nothing to do. Every day he just buys groceries, washes clothes, and scrubs at home.
Most of the remaining time was spent making clothes, embroidering and gossiping with Aunt Yu and the others.
Qin Yao knows everything about her neighbors from Yin Le's mouth. No one in the family knows better than Yin Le when there is any trouble in any house.
No, when they saw Yin Le coming over with a low table and a bag of something, they had already finished their round of gossip, and Mrs. Yu and the other ladies who were taking a break immediately stared over with sharp eyes.
“Ale, what's this big bag in your hand?” Zhang Guizhi was young, and she and Yin Le were the two most playful, so they were pushed out to inquire.
Yin Le gave her a mysterious smile, waved his hand to signal everyone to move aside, put down the short table next to the fruit stall, and laid out the items in the bag one by one.
While laying it out, he said: "Today I was tidying up the warehouse at home and found out these items. My master, you all know that they are not easy to dress up, so they were all given to me. I thought I wouldn't be able to use so many by myself, so I took them out. Ready to share with sisters.”
"The things are all brand new. If you like them, you can just give me some copper, and you can think of it as cleaning out the warehouse for my family."
Things have all been laid out, and Zhang Guizhi and everyone's hearts are moved by the sight of the exquisitely crafted silk flowers.
It's really a good thing. It's hard to buy silk flowers like this outside.
There are also those rouge gouache, which are all products from the largest rouge shop in Beijing, 'Taohuafang'. The powder is fine, the color is even, and there is a special fragrance. They are all good things that they usually envy but are reluctant to buy.
"This pair of concentric locks is the work of the master in the old craftsman's silver shop. It bears the master's engraving mark. I wanted to buy a pair for my granddaughter to make a dowry to support the appearance. I didn't expect that your master also has one. It's so new, why don't you want it?”
While Yin Le gave Zhang Guizhi the price of some silk flowers, 200 cents each, he replied to the surprised old lady, "Yes, my master doesn't like these vulgar things. Do you want it, old lady? Just find supplies according to the silver weight." There is no such store in this village!”
“This is so embarrassing.” She said she was embarrassed, but the old lady didn't let go of the silver lock in her hand, and ran home to get the silver for Yin Le in a lively manner.
Soon, this pile of items was sold out—after all, there were only a few of them.
