Chapter 121 Only Wei Qingwan was not given a share
. In addition to gold, he was also given a lot of cloth, porcelain, tea, pearls, spices...
all commonly used royal gifts.
As a favored prince, Chu Lan should have these things that were commonplace to him.
But for ordinary people, these things cannot be bought even with money.
For example, this tea must have come as tribute from the local government, and this porcelain must have come from an official kiln.
It's a pity that I can't sell it for money.
The only thing that can really make Wei Ruo work as a money envoy is this one hundred taels of gold.
Wei Ruo frowned slightly as he looked at these things.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Xiumei asked.
"I have to pick out some things that I don't need, but that are more decent, and send them to other people in the house. I have to do what I have to do, and I can't let anyone catch me." Wei Ruodao.
The things Chu Lan sent this time were different from the last time the Xie family gave her a gift. She would have to return the gifts given to her by others in the future, so she had reason not to share them with others.
But this time she received so many rewards, it was unreasonable not to share some with the people in the house.
Xiumei thought for a while: "Miss, I just saw that some of the fabrics are for men, we can't use them." "Pick them
out."
"Okay!"
Xiumei divided the cloth into pieces, about half of which were used. Eight pieces of material are for men.
"Of these eight horses, four will be kept by the second brother, and the remaining four will be given to father and eldest brother. Remember, the four horses given to the second brother are only said to be two." Wei Ruodao.
Xiumei: "Okay."
Wei Ruo: "Are there three boxes of pearls there?"
Xiumei: "Yes, three boxes, the pearls are quite big."
Wei Ruo: "Take one box out and send it to Cangyun Garden. "
Although she was not very happy, she still had to do it decently, otherwise she would be in trouble.
"In addition, I took out some of the teapots and porcelain there and kept them with the old man and the old lady in the capital. When they have something at home to send to the capital, they will take them with them." Although the old uncle and the old lady have not yet met her
. They had met, but the things had been delivered twice, so she naturally thought about them after receiving the reward.
Moreover, what was given to them should be more expensive than what was given to other people in the house, so Wei Ruo picked a few more items.
In this way, the parents, eldest brother, and grandparents have their share, and the only ones left are Wei Qingwan and Wei Yilin.
"There's no need to prepare for Wei Qingwan. She just offended me and everyone in the city knows about it. It's her fault and she's still being punished. I won't give it to her because she was punished. It's fair and square." Wei Ruo has already thought about it.
It was also thanks to Wei Qingwan that she failed to live up to her expectations and caused such a scene in the city, giving Wei Ruo an excuse to "punish" her openly.
"As for Wei Yilin, he also made a mistake, but I have already punished him, so I don't want to go too far this time. I saw a whip on the list, so I gave it to him and asked him to go back and practice whipping. !" Wei Ruodao.
The whip given by Chu Lan was naturally not an ordinary whip. It was a rare and valuable thing. It was reasonable and decent to give it to Wei Yilin who was practicing martial arts with him. When Wei Yilin, who was only seven years old, used this whip, his arms would be sore for who knows how long.
Xiumei picked out these things one by one and put them aside according to Wei Ruo's instructions.
"In addition, pick out some more things to send to the nanny and the others. Whatever can be given, give it to them."
Wei Ruo looked at the things in front of him and figured out what things could be given to the Xu family.
The fabrics are not good. The fabrics given by Chu Lan cannot be worn by ordinary people, and the porcelain ornaments are not good either. They cannot be used by ordinary people.
There was also a dagger inlaid with gems. Wei Ruo really wanted to give it to Xu Zhengyong, but the decoration was too obvious. If he really gave it to Xu Zhengyong, he didn't know what trouble would happen if someone found it later.
Looking at it carefully, there are very few things that can be safely taken out to the nanny's family.
"The remaining two boxes of pearls were sent to the wet nurse, and half of the tea leaves were given to Uncle Xu. He likes to drink tea. Although the tea is expensive, it can be bought in the market, and it will not cause any problems if others find out.
" In addition, you can take some of my silver, find a blacksmith shop, and order a good dagger for me, and make some pieces of armor."
Since it's not possible to directly reward me, then spend additional money to make it. Anyway, we can't lose the nanny and the others.
"Okay, I'll do it after cleaning up!" Xiumei replied enthusiastically.
Then Wei Ruo and Xiumei sorted out the rewards together, taking out what should be given away and giving away what should be put in the warehouse, and sorting them into categories.
Then sort out a bunch of less valuable things from the warehouse to make room.
Most of the things packed out were the first batch of gifts from Uncle Jingcheng when Wei Ruogang came to Xiaowei's Mansion. They were all worthless bronze ornaments.
After sorting out the five large boxes, Wei Ruo called the servants in the mansion and asked them to carry them to the large warehouse in the mansion.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Ruo went to Cangyun Garden with the gifts to be distributed to the people in the mansion.
"Mother, my daughter plans to give these things to everyone in the house." Wei Ruodao.
After saying that, Wei Ruo presented the box of pearls and handed it to Yun: "This box of pearls is for mother."
After opening it, the pearls inside were large, round, white and shiny. This quality is difficult to buy outside, even if you can buy it. Also very expensive.
"Ruo'er is interested." Yun closed the box with a satisfied look on her face.
"I selected a few batches of materials, two each for my father, eldest brother, and second brother to buy them some new clothes. I also selected some pieces of porcelain and a set of purple clay teapots to send to the capital to my grandparents when I have the opportunity." Wei Ruo said again.
Yun nodded, very satisfied with Wei Ruo's arrangement.
Then Wei Ruo took out a whip: "My daughter doesn't know much about whips, but since this whip was a gift from His Highness the Seventh Prince, it must be a precious thing. It should be a suitable gift to my younger brother who is practicing martial arts." "You have to think about it.
" Very thoughtful." Yun agreed.
After waiting, Wei Ruo didn't speak again, so Yun asked: "What about Wanwan?"
Wei Ruo replied: "Has mother forgotten what happened just now? Sister Qingwan made a mistake and is being punished. Since she is being punished, she must You look like you are being punished, how can you be punished and rewarded at the same time?"
Mrs. Yun couldn't help but put in a good word for Wei Qingwan and said: "Sister You has already realized her mistake and has been punished accordingly. Sister, you should be more pregnant. In the future, you sisters will have to support each other. Don't ruin the sisterhood for such a trivial matter." "Knowing that you were wrong proves that
punishment is effective, so how can you give up halfway after punishing you halfway? Make mistakes first, Acknowledging her mistakes and then correcting them is what she should have done. It is to make up for her faults rather than to merit merit. How can she be rewarded just because she has already acknowledged her mistakes?" Wei Ruo asked rhetorically.
