Chapter 584: Noble and Cheap
But this shoe is not just a matter of doing it. Especially when the weather is cold recently, Liu Yan is particularly lazy, and she has used up all the diligence she has saved for several years to make those two pairs, and if she wants to make another pair, she will have to save another one and a half years.
She didn't say anything about the reason, and said directly: "I've been too lazy to use needlework recently, and I'll talk about it when the weather is warm." ”
What she said was to talk about it, but Lu Yi directly knocked on the bricks and nails to settle the matter: "Then it's okay, I'll do it in the spring." ”
"The shoes I made...... It's okay to wear it casually in the house, but I'm afraid it's not okay to wear it outside. ”
Liu Yan is still very self-aware.
Her shoes may be sturdy enough not to be worn, but they don't count how good-looking they are.
Lu Yi smiled and didn't speak.
"You're from your father?"
"Hmm," Lu Yi didn't say much about his errand, but glanced at Liu Yan's piles of things here.
"These are all congratulatory gifts?"
As soon as he talked about this, Liu Yan had a headache: "Yes, in fact, there are many people I don't know at all, and I don't want to accept this gift from them." ”
Maybe others accept gifts and collect money with peace of mind, and it is always natural to take advantage of others. Liu Yan doesn't like this, she doesn't like this kind of money exchange in the name of congratulatory gifts and birthday gifts. It's really a close relative, just send it, and Liu Yan will always have a time to return the gift. But when these people she didn't know or heard of giving gifts, she just felt irritable.
Whose money is not blown by the wind, why do you pay out of your pocket to give her a generous gift? Liu Yan is not loved by everyone.
It's nothing more than a picture.
But no matter what they ask, Liu Yan can't give it if he doesn't want to give it anyway.
In that case, why accept these gifts that I don't know where they came from.
"There's nothing to worry about, leave the gift list, leave the gift with a lower value, and return the way you came."
"Can it still be like this?"
Lu Yi nodded: "If you think it's cumbersome, I'll do it." ”
Liu Yan finally found someone to top the cylinder, and said with a smile: "Okay, this is what you said, then I'll leave it to you." ”
was mentioned by Lu Yi like this, and Liu Yan asked people to screen the gifts according to the gift list.
As for the standard of expensive gifts, it is also provided by Lu Yi.
He said: "When you buy a gift in Beijing, you should take the monthly salary of the Wupin Beijing official as the standard." ”
Liu Yan thought for a while and asked rhetorically: "How much does the five-grade official receive in a month?" ”
This problem is a little stupid, maybe it will have something to do with "why not eat minced meat", but Liu Yan really doesn't know.
Lu Yi especially wanted to laugh, so he endured it, and his face was red and red.
"By the way, you are the fifth grade, how much money do you receive a month?"
Lu Yi couldn't help it, turned his back and laughed at the door.
Liu Yan felt that he seemed to be a little unreasonable.
The two of them are going to get married, but there are still many things that Lu Yi doesn't know about.
For example, where is the yamen on which street is he on errand?
For another example, when he was a judge of this five-grade judge, Liu Yan never cared about how much he received in a month.
In fact, Liu Yan can't even figure out how much money he has.
Yulu is not only money, but also various other parts, miscellaneous, Liu Yan has never read his list of Yulu well.
Anyway, she doesn't live on that. She has never paid for food, clothing and flowers, and she has never bothered to deal with people.
Thinking that such a worry-free good life after getting married was gone, Liu Yan suddenly had a strong sense of crisis.
This life of starting a family is really not just a matter of talking about things, it is really necessary to plan and calculate by yourself.
The smile on Liu Yan's face slowly disappeared.
Alas, it's hard to start a family.
After Lu Yi came up with this idea, Liu Yan suddenly saved a lot of trouble here, and he could distinguish the thickness of this gift from the gift list, leave the thin one, and return the thick one as it was.
As a result, there is almost nothing left.
Liu Yan was puzzled before, but he immediately understood.
Since those people give gifts to please them, in their opinion, they can't always give a gadget bought with ten taels of silver, in fact, there are very few things that are even ten taels or eight taels, most of them are tens of taels or hundreds of taels.
According to Lu Yi's standard, how much does a five-grade Beijing official receive in a month?
So where did these valuable gifts come from?
Liu Yan really didn't want to accept this kind of gift.
I can't sleep at night.
Even Gui Yuan was shocked: "There are only so many left." ”
Usually say that there is no one in ten, but now after these gifts are screened, it is simply one in a hundred. Except for those close to them, they didn't pick them out, and almost all of the people outside didn't leave them.
There are only a few of them.
Among these pieces, there are calligraphy and paintings, folding fans, and some other small things that are not valuable.
And in just a few pieces, there are still fish that have slipped through the net.
Like the folding fan.
Although it is not a precious material, the person who painted the fan is very famous. Li Shanggong is not proficient in calligraphy and painting, let alone Guiyuan, so he thinks that this folding fan should be worthless.
Liu Yan is always better than them here.
This folding fan is only worth a few taels of silver according to the material, and if the fame of the person who painted the fan is counted, this value is not low.
I heard that someone once asked him to draw a fan for two or three hundred taels of silver, but this person did not agree.
Of course, now that this talented man is no longer alive, the value of his previous paintings and calligraphy will only be higher.
"Let's go back to this fan too." Liu Yan also glanced at the name on the gift list, but he hadn't heard of it at all.
Lianzi answered on the side and wrote this down on a piece of paper.
It's really a person who hates less when he uses it.
Liu Yan used to think that there were a lot of people in Anhe Palace, but when something happened, he realized that there were really not enough people.
For example, when sorting out these gifts, there is no one around her who really knows how to do it, and she only thinks that gold and jade antiques are valuable, but she can't judge the value of a painting and calligraphy.
Liu Yan picked up another wooden box.
This box is neither covered with gold or silver, nor is it wrapped in brocade, and it looks simple.
Liu Yan opened the box, and the contents were simple. The box is divided into two compartments, one compartment holds a few pens, and the other compartment contains plain bamboo leaf pattern paper.
If you buy this outside, it may only cost two or three taels of silver.
The bean soup looks strange.
There are a lot of expensive gifts, and it is rare to see someone really give such a cheap gift.
When Liu Yan opened the box, he smelled a faint fragrance of bamboo.
The aroma is smoked on the paper, and it is impossible to smell it if it is not close.
Liu Yan held the paper and was slightly distracted, and only asked after a while: "Who sent this?" ”
Lianzi hurriedly handed over the gift list.
It's someone I know.
Wang Zhi.
