The red envelope prepared by the old lady is not a real copper coin, but it is much more valuable than a copper coin.

When Li Yao came back, she opened the red brocade bag and looked at it, which contained small gold coins connected with braided red ropes, Li Yao counted them, and there were eight small gold coins strung with her red rope.

The small gold coin is made of pure gold, each gold coin is not big, at most seven or eight grams, made into the same size as a copper plate, leaving a square hole in the middle, and the words are engraved on all sides, adding up to the four words of 'auspicious Ruyi'.

Dong Tianyou told Li Yao that what the old lady prepared for other people's children was a small gold coin, and the big red envelope of these eight gold coins was prepared for the old lady's own children.

Li Yao nodded when she heard this, and said in her heart that this Dong family is really wealthy.

In this era, the conversion of gold and silver is one to ten, that is to say, one or two gold is equal to ten taels of silver, although this gold coin is not big, but it is not counting the manual cost of making gold coins, this amount of gold alone can be worth more than one or two silver, how can there be forty or fifty underage children from the Dong family's birthday banquet, this old lady is estimated to be able to disperse dozens of taels of red envelopes alone, not counting the big red envelopes sent to her family, which is the one in her hand.

Liu Xiaoyu on the side pricked up her ears and listened to Li Yao and Dong Tianyou's muttering, knowing that the old lady gave Li Yao a big red envelope, and her face became even darker.

Wang Hongyun's face at the moment was also very ugly, not because of the red envelope, but because Li Qiaohui and Li Yao had given such precious gifts before them, and their gifts were taken out after a while, and everyone probably felt that there was nothing to look at.

In fact, Wang Hongyun's hunch was right, when the master of ceremonies called their Wang family's gift, and the little maid took out a white jade statue they had given, not only the Dong family's reaction was mediocre, but even the guests present did not look twice.

The gifts from their family were brought up and brought down in a hurry......

This made Wang Hongyun and Liu Xiaoyu's hearts very uneasy, they only felt that this banquet and this gift had been prepared in vain, and now the gains outweigh the losses.

In fact, from the eyes of Mrs. Dong, it can naturally be seen that the piece of white jade selected by Wang Hongyun is not bad, but their Dong family lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of money.

Dong Xiangwen has gotten a lot of good jade for the old lady over the years, and the old lady naturally doesn't look very well at the jade that Wang Hong transported.

However, because the old lady is very interested in jade, the old lady saw the value of this piece of jade at a glance, and knew that this piece of jade could be worth about eighty taels of silver, and even if it was more expensive, it could not exceed one hundred taels of silver, so she turned her face and said to Zheng Qiuyue, asking her to turn around and prepare a gift worth one hundred taels of silver to send to the Wang family, which was counted as a return gift.

In fact, the old lady's birthday banquet to the guests has already been prepared, and when the guests leave, everyone can receive a copy, the old lady asked Zheng Qiuyue to prepare a return gift for the Wang family alone, and it must exceed the value of the gift given by the Wang family, which is obviously unwilling to accept the gift from the Wang family.

Zheng Qiuyue understood what the old lady meant, this was to show that their Dong family would not have any more dealings with the Wang family in the future, so naturally this gift could not be accepted, but it was too shameful to refuse in person, so she used the way of returning the gift to reject the Wang family's intentions.

Zheng Qiuyue also had this meaning in her heart, so she nodded in response.

Soon the gifts from the guests were finished, and the next step was to start serving.

The guests who came didn't know what dishes the Dong family had prepared today, and when they saw the last main dish coming up, which was a pot of roasted bear meat, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
