Chapter 184: His Gift
Just after lunch, Lu Jiu helped Sun make the filling, and the old lady also helped beside him.
Lu Sanqiu came back with the mule cart, he led the horse and mule to the horse shed, fed the horse and mule, and washed his hands before giving Lu Jiu today's money.
But Lu Sanqiu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping made Lu Jiu a little curious.
Lu Jiu pulled Lu Sanqiu to the side: "Is there something wrong with the third brother?" ”
Lu Sanqiu thought about it, and still said to Lu Jiu: "I met the county master at the gate of Baiwei Building today. ”
Lu Jiu snorted and motioned for him to continue.
"The county magistrate asked me to send you a box."
Lu Jiu is a girl, and she has just separated from her, Fu Lanqing is a foreign man, for the sake of Lu Jiu's reputation, Lu Sanqiu can only whisper to Lu Jiu.
"Where's the box?"
"In the car."
Lu Jiu lifted the curtain and took a look, and found that there was a very beautiful small box inside.
Qian Qian: "Rosewood!" ”
Rosewood is also known as the "Imperial Wood".
Rosewood has a deep purple color and is calm and shiny. Its wood stress is small and dense, and it is not easy to deform and crack. At the same time, because the wood fibers of rosewood are extremely fine and hard, it is the first of all woods, so it is very easy to carve finely, and any delicate and complex artistic expression can be perfectly realized on rosewood. It has always been a special wood for the furniture of the royal family, and the slow growth rate of rosewood, which takes at least 800 years to become a timber, is very expensive, ranking first among all kinds of wood.
This chest alone is worth no less than a thousand taels of silver.
The boxes are so valuable, not to mention the value of the contents inside.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!
Lu Jiu held the box in his arms and asked again, "He just asked you to send something, and didn't say anything else?" ”
"Yes......" Lu Sanqiu didn't sell it, and said directly: "The county master wants to eat snowy mooncakes with fruit filling, and he also wants to order some." ”
Lu Jiu said without thinking: "However, I have already signed a monopoly contract with Baiweilou, and I can only sell snowy skin mooncakes to Baiweilou's family." ”
"What then?" Lu Sanqiu was a little anxious: "County master, we can't afford to provoke it." ”
"I can't sell it to others, but that doesn't mean I can't give it to others." Lu Jiu said directly: "Third brother, in the future, you will take out ten snowy mooncakes filled with fruit and send them to the county office." ”
Although she made less money, she kept her reputation, and the most important thing is that the things that Fu Lanqing gave have already exceeded the value of the snowy moon cakes themselves, and she is not at a loss.
Lu Sanqiu nodded: "Okay, I'll write it down." ”
When Lu Jiu returned to the house, he couldn't wait to open the box.
The chest is divided into two layers, one layer of jewelry, inside are several sets of heads, one set of gold heads, one set of pearl heads, one set of jade heads, and one set of gemstone heads.
The lower layer is four sets of beautiful skirts, silky to the touch, people can't put it down, there are inches of gold cloud brocade, there are also floating brocade brocade, thin cicada wing yarn and fresh and elegant plain brocade.
Don't ask Lu Jiu how she recognized it, she only felt that these clothes and jewelry looked good, it was Qian Qian who told her, Yunjin is still a royal tribute, there are only two horses a year, the kind that can make the concubine snatch her head, but Qian Qian didn't dare to say.
Four sets of skirts are just right to be worn with four sets of heads.
I have to say that this gift was simply sent into Lu Jiu's heart.
