Chapter 17: Thanks
Xiao Jinyue returned to the store, sold the three pairs of heads to Feng Xiangge, and then carefully selected a set of jewelry for her mother as a birthday gift. After thinking about it, she chose a whole set of luxurious jewelry for her sister-in-law Xiao Jinlan, which happened to be worth three thousand eight hundred taels.
The shopkeeper of Fengxiang Pavilion has been serving with a smile on his face, and seeing that she really chose jewelry of the same value, he also gave a pair of lilac silver earrings as a licking head.
Xiao Jinyue didn't refuse, and after accepting it, she gave it to fennel, making the girl smile with joy.
Fennel took the silver stud earrings and couldn't help asking, "Girl, you chose jewelry for both the lady and the eldest girl, why didn't you choose one for yourself?" ”
Xiao Jinyue didn't like to be a walking jewelry stand, so she said casually, "Next time, I didn't meet someone I like this time." ”
After choosing the jewelry, seeing that it was not early, Xiao Jinyue had no choice but to say goodbye to the lord of Minghua and prepare to return home with fennel.
After walking a few steps out of Fengxiang Pavilion, a long and tall figure walked out from the side.
Xiao Jinyue raised her eyebrows and looked at the figure in front of her in surprise, thought about it, and saluted, "The prince of Zhenguo." ”
I don't know what happened to this person waiting here to stand in her way.
It's really no wonder that she was surprised, this person had been in Fengxiang Pavilion for so long before, and he had always treated her as a stranger, and he didn't talk to her.
She is not surprised, and the identities of the two are different, and she herself does not want to be the focus of attention in everyone's eyes, as a modern soul, it is always the king to pursue a low profile.
It's just that he didn't keep his distance well, why did he suddenly run out to get in her way?
Lu Chengting lowered his eyes, and saw that in addition to accidents, there was also full of vigilance in those bright eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.
Xiao Jinyue saw him blocking the way, but he didn't speak, and couldn't help but become more and more puzzled, "The prince of Zhenguo? ”
Lu Chengting was silent, cleared his throat, and then said, "Miss Xiao, when I was in Cuiyan Villa before, I said that I would send someone to send a thank you gift to your house after I went down the mountain, but after coming down the mountain, I was so busy that I forgot about it, I'm really sorry." Tomorrow, I'll have someone make up the thanks. ”
Such an embarrassing thing is also the first time Lu Chengting has experienced it, and he is really a little embarrassed. I was injured on the mountain before, and after I went back, I was summoned by the emperor to ask for a long time, and when I returned to the courtyard where I lived, I saw that it was too late, and I thought that I would tell the housekeeper to send a congratulatory gift tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, he accompanied the emperor to the mountains to hunt and deal with various affairs, and later suffered a tornado in Beijing, and after escorting the emperor back to the palace, he was immediately sent by the emperor to the north of the city to settle the houses destroyed by the tornado and the homeless victims.
This busyness naturally forgot about the thank-you gift.
It wasn't until today, when he met Miss Xiao again, that he suddenly remembered that he had promised to give someone a thank you gift and forgot it, so he stepped forward to stop someone and apologize.
Xiao Jinyue didn't expect the prince of Zhenguo to stop her, in order to talk about it, she shook her head, "When I was on the mountain, I said that I didn't need to give thank-you gifts, you saved me, I will heal you, and between us, there is already a clear situation." ”
It was the first time Lu Chengting had met someone who wanted to draw a line with him, but he was a man of his word, and he must do what he promised.
It just doesn't have to be stressed again and again now.
Xiao Jinyue saw that he was silent again, so he had to speak again, "If the prince of Zhenguo is fine, I will leave, I have been out for a long time, and I am afraid that my family will be worried." ”
Lu Chengting saw that the other party couldn't avoid it, as if he was avoiding some trouble, so he had to silently move away from the blocked road, and said lightly, "It's okay." I have now recovered fifty percent of my internal strength, and I thank the girl again for her medicine. ”
"That's good, congratulations to the prince of Zhenguo for his early detoxification. Then I'll take my leave. Xiao Jinyue was not surprised that he could recover fifty percent of his internal strength, after all, she couldn't know how effective the medicine she made herself was.
With her antidote pill buffer, it is believed that the Imperial Doctor will soon be able to configure the antidote. When the poison on the general's body is resolved, he will soon be able to return to the battlefield. After all, the border is unstable, and with generals like him who are good at fighting, they can live in peace.
Lu Chengting didn't say anything more, and turned sideways to the side again, making way for him.
Xiao Jinyue blessed her body and walked towards the carriage not far away with fennel.
Lu Chengting silently watched her walk away, and then raised his feet and walked towards the horse on the side.
A dark guard dressed in black flashed out and looked at Xiao Jinyue curiously, "Master, is that the girl Xiao who gave you the antidote pill?" ”
Lu Chengting hummed lightly, grabbed the reins, and turned around and ordered, "After returning to the house, remember to ask the housekeeper to prepare a generous gift, and send it to the Xiao Mansion on the side of Osmanthus Lane in the west of the city early tomorrow morning." ”
The secret guard nodded, "Don't worry, after returning to the house, I will immediately ask the housekeeper to prepare, and I will personally send it to the Xiao Mansion early tomorrow morning." ”
Although he didn't know that Miss Xiao, he was no less grateful to her than his own son.
After all, if there is no antidote pill from Miss Xiao, the poison on the prince of the world will not know when there will be hope. can't detoxify the poison and can't go to the battlefield again, this consequence is too cruel for the prince.
The next day, Xiao Jinyue got up and heard Fennel say that the prince of Zhenguo sent someone to send a thick gift of thanks, and her father and mother knew that she had returned it to the prince of Zhenguo
Diagnosed.
Her father and mother originally wanted to refuse, but they were secretly afraid that they would not accept it, so as soon as the thank you gift was delivered, she immediately left.
couldn't refuse, and his father and mother asked him to move all the things to the West Chamber to Xiao Jinyue.
Xiao Jinyue couldn't help but smack her tongue when she looked at the thick gift list, it was really a first-class national mansion, and her shot was generous, not only silk and satin, but also all kinds of jade ornaments and ornaments
tonic herbs, and even three thousand taels of silver tickets.
This gift is too thick, and Xiao Jinyue is a little hot to hold.
It's just that now that the gift has been accepted, it can't be returned, otherwise it will be too much of a slap in the face. Xiao Jinyue sighed, forget it, find a way to repay it when you find an opportunity in the future.
Xiao Jinyue couldn't use up so many things alone, so he divided the things among the family and sent them to the courtyards everywhere.
There were only three thousand taels of silver tickets, and she thought about it for a while, and then stayed.
She plans to keep the money as start-up capital if she can find a suitable business opportunity.
It's just that Xiao Jinyue took fennel to the street for many days, but she didn't find any suitable small business.
It's not that there are no business opportunities, as Kyoto in the Motoyasu Dynasty, it is naturally impossible to have a small flow of people, and there is no shortage of business opportunities.
It's just that their family is new to Kyoto and has no connections in Kyoto, plus she has little start-up capital, so there are naturally many restrictions.
The huge profits are big, first, she is worried about attracting the covetousness of the powerful, and her own status is low, so she can't protect it; The second is that her start-up capital is too small, and the business with a lot of capital is naturally out of reach.
And this business with little capital and a lot of profits is not easy to find in a short period of time.
