After the three brothers of the Ruan family left, Xi Tongfang discussed with the Ruan family, "The birthday of the old lady of the Ji family is approaching, this time the Ji family has ordered so many goods in our shop, taking care of our business, I thought, send a birthday gift to the Ji family, you see, what should we send?" ”

Ruan's family is a woman's family, and she is a village girl, where does she know what gifts the old lady of a big family will give for his birthday.

She said, "The shops that the Ji family cares for are definitely not just us, or you go and inquire, and we can send about it." ”

"It's okay, it's not a few days, I'll go and inquire in the afternoon."

After Xi Tongfang finished speaking, he hurriedly left again.

In the evening, Xi Tongfang returned.

Xi Tong Fang said to Ruan's family excitedly, "I inquired, the silk for the Ji family's birthday banquet this time was bought from the He family's silk cloth village, the wife of the He family, the third aunt and grandmother of the Xia family, the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Xia family, and the eldest aunt and grandmother of the Chu family, these families are relatives who are married, I heard from the mouth of the old man of the He family that the old lady of the Ji family likes screens, whether it is a screen or a vertical screen, as long as the embroidery pattern is good, the old lady Ji will like it." ”

said happily, "Ah Xiu, I remember that you embroidered a swing screen not long ago and haven't embedded it yet, otherwise, let's embed it and give it to Mrs. Ji as a birthday gift?" ”

Ruan Shi hesitated a little, "Master, it was just embroidered by me with ordinary embroidery thread, will it be too thin to give that gift?" ”

"No, we are not a rich and noble family, giving gifts to Mrs. Ji is just to thank the Ji family for taking care of our business, the gift is too thick, we can't afford to send it, it's just right to send a screen."

No matter how valuable a gift is, it is not as good as giving it to others.

What's more, he is confident that his daughter-in-law's embroidery is better than the screen sold in the embroidery workshop outside.

Ruan Shi said, "Then embed a good frame, it doesn't matter if you spend a few taels of silver, although our family is not rich, but gifts can't be too casual, not to mention people like the Ji family, the business will not be over at one time, and it will be long in the future." ”

Xi Tongfang smiled and responded.

Ruan Shi instructed Xia Chan to find out the embroidered screen and give it to Xi Tongfang to go to the wooden frame tomorrow.

At that time, after the family finished eating, Xi Tongfang and Xi Feng went to the study to talk, talking about the Zhu family, and Xi Feng told Xi Tongfang about what she inquired about from Chu Li one by one.

Xi Feng said, "Originally, a batch of goods was ordered, the delivery date was half a month, and the compensation silver on the document was only three thousand taels of silver, but not long after our family bought a new house, the Zhu family added a batch of goods, the delivery date was changed to one month, and the compensation silver was also added to eight thousand taels of silver, Daddy, the reason why the Zhu family will increase the order and compensation silver is nothing more than worrying that something will happen to the third cousin, our family will help him pay back the silver, our old house is worth two thousand taels of silver, and it is easy to make up another thousand taels of silver, and it can be made up of eight thousand taels of silver." , even if we sell the old house, I'm afraid it's not easy, then the Zhu family is obviously staring at our family. ”

"The reason why the third cousin was calculated by the Zhu family for so much money this time is that it is somewhat implicated in our family." Xi Feng said.

When Xi Tongfang heard this, his face was gloomy, and he said, "Your third aunt has not been able to give birth to a son-in-law to the Zhu family to inherit the family business for more than ten years, she feels that she owes the Zhu family and Zhu Tingmo, so she tries her best to find a suitable man from our Xi family to go to the Zhu family as a son-in-law." ”
