Chapter 222: Gifts

Of course, Xiao Yu wouldn't blame Su Ling, but she just felt that it was rude for Yang Yuru to bring her friends over without saying a word in advance.

Fortunately, there was no one present at the time.

But because of this, Xiao Yu's heart was not very happy. After a few more gossips, Yang Yuru and Su Ling got up to say goodbye.

Although Xiao Yu took this matter to heart, she didn't have much time to think about whether there was anything wrong with it, but was busy receiving the girl who added makeup to Beppu.

A few days later, Ling Yan, Ling Yi, Hua Yue, and Zhong Lang arrived from Lingnan in the dust, and also transported several large truckloads of things back, and when the subordinates of the Xiao Mansion sent these items to the county lord's mansion, Xiao Yu was stunned again.

Ling Yan mentioned in her previous letter that Ling Yi and Hua Yue bought a lot of things in the south.

At that time, Xiao Yu didn't care, seeing that a few people planned to take the sea route and transport it back by boat, she also laughed that this was overkill, as for how many things to buy, it was better to go back to Jiangnan and buy them again.

Now I saw these spices and medicinal materials, pearls and jade treasures, and the feathers and skins of rare birds and beasts, and I really bought several big cars!

Xiao Yu held his forehead, and said to Ling Yan for a long time: "I don't know who wants to do business and use my county lord's mansion as a warehouse?" ”

Ling Yan smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth: "Give you a dowry." ”

There are so many things, even one hundred and twenty-eight can't fit it, okay! The corners of Xiao Yu's lips twitched, and it took a long time before she said to herself: "It's okay, now even Sister Yan's dowry is complete." ”

Ling Yan blushed and said angrily: "I won't tell you, I'm getting more and more serious!" Only marry early and let the playboy suppress you! ”

Xiao Yu's face was hot. smiled: "Who is not serious?" ”

When asked about Ling Yan's heroic rescue of beauty in the hunting ground this autumn, Ling Yan really couldn't resist seeing this, so she hurriedly changed her words and pulled Xiao Yu to see the gifts that a few people brought back to her.

Because South Vietnam is rich in pearls, gemstones, spices, medicinal materials, rare birds and animals. Compared with the Central Plains, these things are much cheaper to buy there, and many merchants in the Central Plains have traveled thousands of miles to buy them, and then ship them back here to sell.

So when Xiao Yu first saw these things, he would have a joke about who wanted to do business.

When the two of them stepped into the hall, they saw that gems, furs, medicinal herbs, etc. were all placed on the hall in different categories, almost filling half of the hall, and the remaining position in the hall was placed with the dowry gifts sent by the flower family. So there is almost no place for such a large main hall.

Because in order to facilitate transportation and save space during transportation, many of these items have not been properly sorted and maintained. Therefore, when Xiao Yu and Ling Yan arrived in the hall, several stewards in the mansion were busy counting and classifying various things in detail, and packed them in boxes and other containers of different materials according to their characteristics, so as not to be damaged by improper storage.

Jewelry, furs, etc. are not enough. Spices and herbs are stored with particular care. Fortunately, these stewards are very experienced. Xiao Yu, who is familiar with medicinal materials, feels that it has opened his eyes.

As for the dazzling gemstones, except for the larger ones, they are casually packed in boxes.

These red and blue treasures were all exchanged for silk, porcelain and tea from overseas by Hua Xuan, which is naturally a rare and valuable thing in Daqi, but in fact, the price of flowers is not very high.

In addition, there are pearls from the South Sea, which are large and round, and come in several colors, many of which are rare treasures.

and the feathers and fur of various exotic animals in the southern rainforest.

These things are usually rare. Now it was piled up in the hall as if it were something cheap.

Ling Yi came in from outside. When he saw the two of them, he smiled and said, "These pearls and gems are more good ones to be used for head jewelry, and these furs can be used for clothes." Especially Sister Ayu, the Hua family brought such a heavy dowry, you should wear more head jewelry, cut some cloak and leather jacket as a dowry. ”

Xiao Yu's face was slightly red.

Now the old lady began to nag again, and the day of the ceremony was too rushed.

Because after the auspicious day is set, the two governments have to draw up a list of guests and send the invitation to the wedding.

At this time, everyone remembered that they sent someone to send an invitation and then the guests rushed over, and some of the guests who were far away from home could only arrive in a month or two, and they could not have a good time in the year.

So this day is still too rushed.

However, at this point, many people already knew that this good period was set for the twenty-second day of the first month of next year, and the Xiao Mansion had no intention of changing it.

Because the dowry almost includes things that will be used in daily life, including beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs. And when the dowry was sent to the Hua family, the Xiao Mansion also had to invite someone to go over to make a bed.

Xiao Yu remembered the stepping bed of the later generations, and was interested for a while, so he asked a craftsman to draw the picture and let him try to make it. She felt that although it was too late to make a thousand workers to pull out the bed, it should still be possible to have a few more people together.

Although Xiao Yu had seen and studied it in his previous life, he only knew a general structure, and the details could only be told to the craftsman at the beginning for him to ponder again.

When the craftsman heard about such a complicated and delicate bed, it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he immediately said: "I am afraid that even the gods can live in such a bed." ”

I'm just worried that it's too complicated and I can't rush out before the auspicious day.

Xiao Yu felt in a trance that he had heard this sentence somewhere, and he didn't pay attention to it, and smiled at the moment: "It's okay." If you can catch up with nature, there will be a reward; It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, the bed is already ready in the house, it's just another custom on a whim. And if this stepping bed is finished when it is finished, I will still buy it, and I will not let you work in vain. ”

The craftsman hurriedly laughed and said: "The county lord is serious, even if the county lord can't use this bed, I don't know how many people are rushing to want it." ”

Xiao Yu smiled slightly.

This is not impossible, and today's rich and noble families are all kinds of exquisite, maybe they will really be interested in this stepping bed.

And the craftsman didn't know how many beds he had made, but he had never seen such a big bed like a luxurious and exquisite house, and he was already happy to see the hunt, and he was eager to try, and immediately said: "If the county lord is fine, the little one will go back and ponder this step bed first." ”

Xiao Yu nodded.

So the craftsman took the drawings and hurried away joyfully.

However, Xiao Yu still felt a little regretful because he couldn't make a thousand-step bed as a dowry, and then thought of Ling Yan.

It is said that it will take two or three years to use Xiao Yu as a dowry, but Ling Yan can.

So Xiao Yu told Ling Yan about it.

Ling Yan was really yearning.

So the two said that if the craftsman really made the stepping bed, the thousand work bed is just more cumbersome, but the process is about the same, and then they can try it to see if they can make it.

On this day, Xiao Yu suddenly remembered the makeup she wore in gorgeous clothes when she stayed in the county lord's mansion, and she already knew from the female master who taught etiquette that was prevalent nowadays that kind of heavy makeup and glamorous makeup, especially on some more solemn occasions, such as faint ceremony.

I don't know if such a big makeup will scare Hua Yue when she fans it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu decided to talk to the Quanfu person who combed her hair and makeup.

Soon it was December. (To be continued......)
