Fight the Giants Chapter 659

Chapter 659 Gift giving

Huo Xi was also thinking about how to deal with those high-yielding crops.

My grandfather has only planted it for one season now, and all the seeds he gives to others are grown locally. How it works remains to be seen.

Anyway, there is no rush. We have to plan slowly.

Zhang Dong was replying to Zhang Fu: "The old man said, leave everything to the eldest lady to plan. The family will listen to the arrangement of the eldest lady."

Zhang Fu smiled, but his father-in-law believed in her. I'm afraid that the father-in-law has handed over some possible relationships to the daughter-in-law.

"Is the old lady okay?"

"Okay, everything is fine. The old man doesn't have to do hard labor now, he just stares at the crops in the field like eyeballs. The old lady said he wished he could sleep in the field."

Zhang Fu twitched the corner of his mouth, which was his father-in-law's style.

"The old man asked me to tell the Duke of the country that it was not easy for the eldest lady and the son, and I hope the master will take care of them a little bit more. If they can't take care of them, I will depend on the Duke of the country."

Zhang Fu felt a little sad when he heard it, and nodded, "I will write back to the old man. As long as they are all well."

I asked some more about the Li family, and I was relieved to learn that everything was fine. Then I asked about cochin...

After a few more days, the ship to Nanyang finally returned to the capital.

brought back a large amount of goods. Huo Xi followed suit for a few days. Seeing that everyone who went with the boat returned safely, I was greatly relieved.

"Uncle Quan has had a hard time this trip. Although Aunt Xiu didn't say anything, I know that she is looking forward to you so much that she can't eat or sleep well. This time I feel relieved."

"Now that he's back, I've let go of my worry." Ningxiu stared at her man uncontrollably.

Zhu Zhongquan looked back at her and said with a smile: "I miss them too. But I know they have a girl to take care of them, so I am very relieved."

Went to a foreign show, Zhu Zhongquan became more shrewd and capable, and he looked more and more sophisticated. Huo Xi thought, she got another steward who could stand alone. I am happy.

Listening to Zhu Zhongquan talking about what happened over the past year...

They had a smooth trip, traveled to many countries, and brought back a large amount of goods by barter.

"Girl, I only realized the vastness of the world when I went out this time. Overseas countries are very different from ours. What we eat, what we speak, what clothes we wear, what houses we live in, utensils, etc. are all different from ours. It was an eye-opener for me.”

This time I had the opportunity to go to sea, I went to so many countries, I saw so many different things, even if I died immediately, it was worth it.

"Uncle Quan has worked hard this trip, after the goods are counted, I will give you a month's leave to rest at home."

"Thank you girl for being considerate."

Huo Xi checked the list of goods, jewelry and jade, ivory tortoiseshell rhinoceros horn, medicinal materials, ornaments, cloth and wood, handicrafts, pepper spices, silverware, lacquerware, all kinds of rare foreign goods... a dazzling array.

Very happy. Sure enough, even though the risks at sea are high and the cycle is long, businesses are still willing to take the risk to go to sea.

Going out this time, coming back and forth, the money earned, ranging from a few hundred thousand taels, enough to feed the whole family for many years.

Huo Xi picked some and took them back to the mansion to distribute to each house.

In addition to sending some overseas clothing materials, the female relatives in the mansion also gave them some overseas jewelry and jade to make jewelry.

Everyone also has a gift in return.

The juniors got the extra stuff, they were both novelty and happy, and they all went to Xianglanyuan to thank Huo Xi.

Jing Wanjing from the second bedroom and Qingchu from the third bedroom got jewelry, and they all came to Xianglanyuan to discuss what jewelry to make.

Bike often stays at Kolanyuan, and also discusses making jewelry with a group of sisters.

Little Wang from Dafang came over with her two daughters, Bizhu and Biyue, and thanked Huo Xi again and again.

Although the Duke's Mansion is dignified, Mrs. Tai is relatively frugal in running the house. After all, the Zhang family and the Wang family still rely on the Duke's Mansion to live.

Wu, who is in charge of the big house, wished to dig more into his own room, and how could he dig out. Therefore, although the female relatives in the mansion are well-dressed outside, they are still far from being rich.

Huo Xi suddenly gave such generous gifts of jewelry and jade, which woman would be unhappy?

Both Hou and Xiao Wu are thinking about making jewelry.

Xiao Wang may have no mistress to suppress her. She lived a comfortable life and looked younger by several years.

Looking at Bizhu Biyue and a group of sisters discussing what kind of clothes and jewelry to make, she smiled happily.

"Thank you so much, miss, for opening our eyes. Some of these jewels and jades have never been seen before. If you buy them in the capital, it will cost a lot of money. Let the miss spend a lot of money."

"I bought it from Fanwai, and it didn't cost much money."

Xiao Wang is so envious, why is there such a big gap between people.

They are still happy about getting a box of jewels and jades, and the eldest lady has a big boat to run a special episode.

Talk to someone.

"The dyed colors and patterns of those extrfan clothes are very different from ours. I'm still thinking about what kind of clothes to make with them. And those yarns, silks, are better than ours. Light and thin, it's so hot this year, but I can make some light and thin clothes to wear."

I glanced at the two daughters again, thought for a while, and said, "Miss, you know that I am saving a dowry for Bizhu Biyue. I heard that precious wood from overseas is cheaper than ours. Don't have some wood? I'll buy some with the eldest lady and make some dowry things for them.”

For fear that the eldest lady would feel that she was taking advantage of her, she kept expressing that she bought it with money, and the price was the same as the price she sold.

Huo Xi smiled: "It's not difficult. We brought a lot back this time. I'll send someone to take you to pick it out. If you don't like it, I can also take you to a familiar company to choose from."

"Thank you Miss, thank you Miss!"

This can buy wood from the eldest lady, isn't it cheaper than buying it outside? Another big savings, how unhappy.

Xiao Wang asked Huo Xi's people to accompany her to pick out the same day.

When Hou heard the news, he couldn't help being moved.

She has two biological daughters, Jing Wan and Jing Xian, and a concubine daughter, Jing Shu, who will get married in a few years. If there is such an opportunity, the eldest lady is willing, so why not do it.

also came to look for Huo Xi, and Huo Xi also asked her to pick her up.

Hou and Xiao Wang went out for a trip, and when they came back, they had big smiles on their faces. It seems that he picked what he wanted.

Isn't that right? Not only did they spend very little money to pick out the wood they liked, but they also bought a lot of desirable things. The price is much cheaper than outside, how unhappy.

Thank you Huo Xi again.

Although Xiao Wu's heart is moved, she only has one son, Zhang Qian, and she doesn't need to prepare a dowry for anyone. Sixth Miss Qingchu has the third master to worry about, and she doesn't want to worry about it.

She also wanted to buy some cheap and easy-to-use items, but she refused to lower her self-worth when facing Huo Xi, so she couldn't say that, so she had to forget it.

And Huo Xi was busy selling this batch of goods brought back from Nanyang, so he also sent gifts to everywhere, and sent a lot of things to Yang Shi and Huo Er Huai'an.

Busy, but didn't want to, but received a post from Qian Guogong's mansion, inviting her to visit her.
