Chapter 155: Rites
After deciding what to give at a price, she searched their storeroom the next day to see if there was anything suitable as a gift.
In the end, she still thought of something in the treasury that could be used as a gift to the prefect's mansion.
She remembered that it seemed to be bought from a small county town they passed by when they came to Dazhou from Miyang.
She didn't remember the name of the small county town, and they had only stayed there for one night and left the next day.
At that time, they arrived at the county seat in the afternoon, because it was still a little early, and she also thought that they hadn't been shopping for a long time, so she said that she would take An Yang and their three siblings out for a walk and relax.
So, after arranging the things and the room at the inn, she took them shopping.
That time, in addition to them, a few other subordinates also followed.
When they passed a silver building, she was ready to go in and have a look, and said that since she came here, she has been particularly interested in gold and silver, whether it is gold and silver, and she is very fond of jewelry.
As for jade, of course, she also likes it, but her favorite is gold and silver jewelry, and most of the jewelry at home is made of gold and silver.
Although she doesn't usually wear them, this does not prevent her from having a strong interest in them.
Speaking of which, the silver building was actually nothing special, but she didn't know what was going on at the time, she was attracted by the silver building.
Needless to say, since I was attracted, I naturally went in and watched.
This time she entered, she fell in love with a pair of silver bracelets at a glance, and later learned that this bracelet was a set, but the rest was not coded.
When she saw the rest of the jewelry, she decided to buy it right away.
It's just that the shopkeeper of the silver building said that this set of jewelry is the treasure of their silver building, and they don't want to buy it.
She took a look, although this set of jewelry is very exquisite, but it is not top-notch, but it can also be the treasure of their small silver building.
She didn't say that she had to buy it, and since people didn't sell it, she looked at some other things in the silver building.
In the end, she still liked a few more things, although not as beautiful as that set of jewelry, but it was still very good.
She still remembered the last thing she said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, if you buy me this set of jewelry, I will buy all these things, how about it?" ”
The shopkeeper's eyes began to hesitate a little, their silver building used to have good business, but after meeting an unscrupulous opponent, their silver building's business became worse and worse, and now they have begun to lose money.
And so far this month, they haven't sold a single thing.
And this time she chose several things at once, and it was two hundred taels, although it was not as much as when their business was good before, but for their current silver building, this is already very good.
So, the shopkeeper hesitated.
She also saw the shopkeeper's hesitation at that time, but the shopkeeper didn't reply to her for a long time, and she didn't see the time early.
As for the jewelry she came to see later, she didn't say she wouldn't buy it, but she didn't plan to buy them all, she originally chose them for the treasures of the town store.
Now that people don't sell it, she doesn't need to buy so much, so she just chooses one at will, ready to pay and leave.
The shopkeeper saw that she had given up, and finally gritted his teeth and sold the jewelry to her.
And this time, she was going to give that set of jewelry as a gift to the prefect's wife.
She had spent more than 100 taels to buy this set of jewelry, and it was just right to use it as a gift for the first time.
In fact, she still feels that it is a little precious in her heart, and she really likes this set of jewelry in her heart.
However, thinking about it, she still thinks forget it, and buy other ones later.
When Li Bokang came back in the evening, she took out the things and showed them to him, and asked him to refer to how this one could be used as a gift.
Li Bokang also felt good when he saw this set of jewelry, although it was made of silver, but it was beautifully made, and it was good to use it as a gift.
He nodded and asked casually: "Yes, I think it's okay, when did you buy this, why haven't I seen it." ”
He had seen most of her jewelry, and he had bought her a large part of it, so he asked.
When I saw him, I asked casually, and she replied casually: "Oh, this, this was bought in a small county town passing by when we came from Miyang last time, and I thought it was very exquisite, so I bought it." ”
Li Bokang knows her better than himself, so as soon as he heard her, he knew that she liked this set of jewelry, otherwise she wouldn't have bought it.
You know, except for the ones he bought for her, she bought them all if she liked them, and she wouldn't say that she would buy them if she thought it was exquisite, after all, there were so many exquisite jewelry, she couldn't buy them all.
After knowing that she liked this set of jewelry, he was not very willing to give it away.
Thinking about it, he said, "There are still two days left, and I'll let them go to the city and see the rest." ”
"What, isn't this appropriate?" She was a little puzzled, she had heard him say yes just now.
"It's okay, just take a look at it again, in case there's a more suitable one."
"Okay, maybe there's a better and more suitable one."
Hearing him say this, she also felt that it was the same, so she didn't ask any more.
After saying this, she suddenly remembered what she had seen before, in addition to preparing a serious gift for the first time, she also had to give the child a meeting gift.
It's just that she doesn't know how many children there are in the prefect's mansion, she only knows that the prefect has a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law, and she doesn't know the rest.
So, she asked Li Bokang: "Do you know how many children the prefect's family has?" ”
"Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" Li Bokang asked rhetorically.
"It's okay, this isn't the first time I've come to the door to prepare a meeting gift in addition to a formal ceremony, doesn't I have to prepare a meeting gift for the children in the family, so I asked." She replied.
"In this way, I don't know very well, I know that their family has two sons and daughters-in-law, or I will inquire with the people in the yamen tomorrow." Li Bokang is not very clear.
"It's okay, then you remember to ask someone tomorrow, I'll prepare a meeting gift." She nodded.
Li Bokang was a little curious about the meeting gift in her mouth, so he asked, "What kind of meeting gift do you plan to prepare?" ”
"I don't know how people send it, and I don't know what they like, I plan to prepare some silver slots directly, or take the silver to the silver building to get some silver peanuts and silver fish, okay, we can't code it, what do you think?" She still has some bottom in her heart.
"Yes, that's how our family is anyway, I think it's good." Li Bokang also thinks it's good.
