150 gifts
Qiu Ci and Mei went together to ask the old lady for peace.
Aunt Liu and Aunt Ji both sat on the side, and He Qiuxue and He Qiutong were talking to the old lady, which made her laugh.
As soon as Qiu Ci came in, He Qiuxue got up affectionately and came over to hold her hand.
"Third sister, you're back." She said enthusiastically, "Grandmother thinks of you every day, and she is about to read out of our ears." ”
He Qiuxue is still so good at acting, and she is as if nothing happened to her before, as if Qiu Ci has always lived in the Hou Mansion and has never gone out.
Her affection was as if they had met again yesterday.
Qiu Ci felt upset for no reason, and when she returned to the house, she had to deal with her, which was really unpleasant.
"Really?" Qiu Ci smiled detachedly, "The fourth sister's mouth is really getting better and better at talking." ”
She quietly withdrew the hand held by He Qiuxue.
Qiu Ci was originally a person who practiced martial arts, and her hands were very strong, and He Qiuxue's delicate little means couldn't resist her at all.
He Qiuxue was taken aback by her strong hand--why is her hand so strong?!
She looked at Qiu Ci with some surprise.
Qiu Ci just glanced at her indifferently.
Others couldn't see it, but they saw Qiu Ci gently pull away his hand.
"The third sister bullies people." He Qiuxue pursed her lips and smiled disguisedly, and said with a feigned disgust.
Qiu Ci ignored her anymore.
"I brought some gifts for my grandmother from Zhuxi, and I don't know if my grandmother likes it or not." As she spoke, Qinglan handed over the gift from behind.
The old lady was also very happy.
It's been a long time since the last overboard, and she has relaxed a lot, and Miss Yan in the house has been living in Zhuangzi, and she is somewhat worried.
Now the autumn word is back. Her spirit looks better than before, her face is white and ruddy, tall and pretty, well-behaved and sensible, and she also brought her gifts.
"It's good that Sister Yuan is back, what kind of gift do you have?" The old lady snorted and asked Pearl to pick up the gift of Autumn Words. "I'll see. What good things did you bring to your grandmother? ”
Qiu Ci smiled and said, "It's the Lu silk of Guluzhou." ”
Lu silk is produced in ancient Luzhou, so it is called Lu silk. It is a silk with mulberry silk as the main material, and it is also a special silk for the emperor's dragon robe in the palace, which is a royal tribute.
There are also cloth shops outside, but they are frighteningly expensive. The price of a piece of silk is three hundred taels, and the quantity is not much. Advance reservations are required.
With such a good fabric and such an expensive price, even some noble families may not be able to afford it.
Qiu Ci said that it was Lu silk, and the people in the room were startled.
Even the well-informed old lady was a little unbelievable. "Is this Lu Silk?"
She took the fabric that Pearl had brought up in her hand and stroked it gently.
This is a true purple fabric, bright and delicate, and has a thick feel. But it is smooth and soft, and its purple does not look like a stiff purple. It's a natural purple, which seems to be the color of cloth in the first place.
The old lady is too happy, this is really Lu silk.
"Oh, where did Sister Yuan buy the Lu silk, it's so beautiful!" She couldn't help but exclaim.
In the past, she had seen the wife of the Yang family wear such silk from a distance, and she was envious at that time, but she could only envy it, after all, it was the Yang family, and the Anping Hou Mansion was just a small Hou Mansion.
If she also wears such clothes, then the Hou Mansion must not go bankrupt?
This cloth is too expensive, and the Hou Mansion really can't afford it.
"The third sister is amazing." He Qiuxue said enviously, "I can actually buy three hundred taels of Lu silk." ”
The old lady was shocked.
Yes, this is three hundred taels of cloth, where did Qiu Ci get the money to buy such a good cloth?
She raised her head sharply, and looked at Qiu Ci with sharp eyes.
A room full of people also looked at Autumn Words.
Mei Shi looked at her with a little worry, and she also thought in her heart, if Qiu Ci couldn't say why for a while, she said that it was the money she gave......
"I bought it." Qiu Ci said, "There was a merchant who made silk and satin in Gulu Prefecture who went to Zhuxi, and he was in a hurry to use the money and wanted to sell a batch of goods, including a few pieces of silk, and I spent a hundred taels of silver to buy two horses. ”
Anyway, no one knew if what she said was true or not, and she could make up a bunch of things with her eyes closed.
A hundred taels of silver for two horses? That's really not that expensive.
He Qiuxue said again, "Did the third sister buy two?" I don't know who the other horse the third sister is going to give to? ”
Qiu Ji rolled his eyes in his heart.
He Qiuxue really doesn't want to calculate her all the time.
The old lady looked at her with sparkling eyes.
"It was indeed picked up by our sister Yuan." She smiled at the people in the room, "Such a good thing can happen to her." ”
Aunt Liu smiled and agreed, "If you want me to say, the third lady still buys less, if it were me, I would have to buy all these silks." ”
He Qiutong didn't know what was going on, but when he saw that everyone liked these silks so much and knew that it was good, he was suddenly unhappy in his heart.
"What kind of silk is so remarkable." She pouted and said, "Isn't it just a piece of cloth, and two horses of a hundred taels of silver, and you are still like a treasure." ”
In her opinion, fifty taels of silver for a piece of cloth is really too expensive, but today these people seem to have picked up gold.
Autumn words smiled slightly.
He Qiutong is still so ...... Stupid!
As soon as she said this, it seemed that she had neither knowledge nor heart.
"Fifth sister, you can't buy authentic Lu silk without three hundred taels of silver." He Qiuxue quietly pulled her and said, although her voice was soft, it could be heard all over the room.
He Qiutong's eyes widened suddenly, "Three...... Three hundred taels of silver, a horse? ”
He Qiuxue nodded at her.
"Really three hundred taels of silver a horse?" He Qiutong was dumbfounded, and his mouth couldn't close.
Then, she remembered that Qiu Ci said that she had bought two horses, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
It would be nice if she could get one!
"Third sister, didn't you say you bought two?" Her tone immediately changed, and she looked at Qiu Ci with a flattering look.
Everyone else in the room also looked at Akiji.
Yes, she bought two, that is to say, one more.
Qiu Ci looked at the greedy eyes of this room, and was a little speechless.
"I bought two horses, and I sold the other one for a hundred and fifty taels of silver." She said, "I'll use all that money to buy fluorite for you again." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Huanxi and Ping'er came over with a few big boxes, and the big boxes contained many delicate small boxes, each of which contained a delicate fluorite.
The exquisite fluorite is unique to the north and is rare to see in Kyoto.
He Qiutong's eyes were shining, she took the lead in taking a big box from Huanxi's hand, and then opened the small boxes one by one to see.
These fluorites come in a variety of colors, including transparent, light purple, light green, and rose-red, and they are carved into a variety of shapes, some are a lotus flower, some are a small ball, but they are all magnificent, with a light purple light.
Qinglan is well prepared, these gadgets, she is for the people in the house, one for everyone.
For the first time, the old lady felt that her granddaughter had the mind of a businessman. (To be continued.) )
