rich concubine

Chapter 1637 What gift to give
By the time Qinghan returned, it was almost half a month later.

She could bear it even though she said the package had not been opened, so she took it seriously and waited until she got home. After spending a good day with her family, telling anecdotes about her time in the capital, she returned to her courtyard. , then carefully held the package in his arms like a treasure.

Open it, there are two layers of velvet inside, and inside is a small box. Open it again, you will see a dazzling array of jewelry.

No wonder this package is so heavy when you weigh it in your hand. It is full of jewelry.

Looking at this package from the outside, who would have thought that the treasure inside is priceless?

The double phoenix holding beads and golden wings, the royal concubine bracelet and the dazzling mirror are among them. They were clearly bought by Sister Rong Yi that day at Jubaozhai without blinking...

There were two sets of ready-made clothes underneath, and there was a letter sandwiched between them. After reading the letter, Qinghan trembled a little, and the joy and emotion in his heart were beyond words.

It turns out that these jewelry and ready-made clothes were the dowry that Sister Rong Yi gave herself.

Qinghan had never seen her wearing some other jewelry, but these were the only ones she bought, and just one of them was worth a lot of money... She actually gave them all to herself.

Such an expensive dowry, if she had known about it and opened it earlier, she would never have asked for it.

Thinking of this, she was startled again. She was afraid that she would have known that if she knew what it was, she would not want it, so she said that she would open it after leaving the capital.

Qinghan raised the corners of his lips in emotion and kept these things in a safe place.

Of course, these are all for later.

The day after Qinghan left, the daughter of the Marquis of the Palace sent a message, inviting her and Changle to go to the mansion to enjoy the flowers and have fun. Between the lines, it said that we had made an appointment last time, so we should come.

Rong Yi didn't expect that the gathering they agreed to get together would actually be at the Marquis' Mansion. Now...it doesn't seem appropriate to go, and it would be even more inappropriate not to go.

After thinking to no avail, he went to see the old lady again. It was common for women in the capital to meet up, but when going to the Marquis, you still had to ask your family for their opinions.

After hearing this, the old lady didn't have much reaction. She just smiled and said: "Since we have made an appointment, let's go and have fun. But this time, it is also the first time for you to go to someone else's house. Don't forget what you should do." Bring some greeting gifts.”

Seeing her grandma's calm reaction, Rong Yi also calmed down and said, "It's natural. The daughter of the Xie family invites you kindly. I can't go empty-handed. I just don't know what kind of gift should be appropriate?"

The old lady said: "You little girls, just give them something they like. This is it. I remember that at that time, we liked to embroider some handkerchiefs and purses and give them to our friends. Now we are giving these, although it is a sign of friendship, but it is not This gift may be a little light."

Rong Yi understood. She was thinking too much just now. She also thought that this was the first time she had an honest relationship with the Xie family. This gift must not be something that she couldn't get, but it was worthy of the Xie family. It was something she, a little girl, couldn't afford to give away, but she ignored it. This time, it was a gathering between their daughters, so she just gave her some things that her daughter's family liked without adding anything else.Thinking of this, Rong Yi said: "The plum wine and spring apricot wine I brewed there are already ready. I will bring two cans with me when the time comes. I also went to Jubaozhai two days ago and bought a set of purple pearl headdresses. , just in time to send each other off.”

The old lady smiled and nodded, winked at Rong Yi and said, "This gift is just right. It reflects your intentions and is not too frivolous. Remember to bring two cans of the wine you brewed there to grandma. tasty."

Rong Yi smiled and agreed, not feeling proud at all. Brewing had never been her strong point, but since she started doing it, she has become very good at it. The brews she makes are different from others. They all use the same thing. Using the same method, the taste is better.

"Hey, you went to Jubaozhai?"

"Ah, yes, we went together a few days ago when Qinghan didn't go back."

"Things there aren't cheap either."

Rong Yi was slightly stunned, thinking that she had indeed bought a lot that day, thinking that her grandma knew about it and wanted to persuade her not to develop the bad habit of spending money like water. She just nodded, and was about to say that she would probably not buy that much in the future, when she heard She said: "I don't know how many things you bought, but do you still have enough money? Has Madam ever told you that when you come home, all expenses incurred outside will be charged to the house, even though you are now a member of the Jiang family. , but you are a girl from the Changfu after all, whatever you want or buy, you don’t need to spend other people’s money.”

Rong Yi was dumbfounded. Instead of being reprimanded, she was talking about this?
The old lady looked at her and said with a smile: "I know you are not short of money now. Your wife and your second and third aunts must have given you a lot of money. You also have a lot of money in your private account, but those are all It’s for you to use in the future, it’s far from enough. All the jewelry you buy is from the family, and the girls in the family are like this. Although the eldest family is not as rich as the country, it is not a problem to raise a few girls. "

Rong Yi pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes glistening with water. She didn't want to cry, but she was just a little touched. This feeling of being contracted for all the jewelry can only be experienced at home. Although the general treats him the same way, But it's different after all.

She said: "I know grandma, but the thing I bought last time was something I wanted to give to Qinghan. After she goes back this time, I don't know when she will get married. I fell in love with her, so I thought about it as my sister. I gave her a few dowries in my name. It was not expensive, and I didn’t know when I would see her again. I finally wanted to keep her in mind, so I used my own money. It was my own money, not given by my elders. .”

There is nothing to be constrained about with the money, but the old lady still said: "You, as a daughter's family, we are no better than the men outside. We can make contributions and build a career. We always have no worries about money, whether it is given by our elders or as a pillow." Whether it’s given by others, it’s all your private money, so you have to keep it safe, as there will be many places to use money in the future.”

Rong Yi smiled and said that she had written it down, and then remembered that when she was pregnant, she had some discussions with the eldest lady, but they had never been discussed in detail. At this moment, she felt a little itchy. She glanced at the calm and peaceful old lady and thought Ask her for an idea.

Question: "Grandma, tell me, is it feasible for me to use part of my money to start a business?"

Hearing this, the old lady became more energetic and asked, "What kind of business do you want to do?"

Rong Yixin drummed a little and said with some uncertainty: "It's the wine I brewed and the homemade drinks. I wonder if I can do business with them."
