She turned into a noble lady in the book, she wanted to lie down
Chapter 189 189 Is this a meeting gift too much or too little?
Chapter 189 189. Is this meeting more or less?
When the carriage was heading towards the village, news spread throughout the village that a distinguished guest had visited Qian's house.
When the carriage stopped in front of Qian's house, there were people lying on the walls and trees.
The nobleman's servants, some were carrying bags, some were carrying baskets, and some were holding trays. They entered Qian's house, and all of these fell into the eyes of everyone.
It's just that the things in the basket can't be seen, and the tray is also covered with a red cloth, so I really don't know what it is.
At this time, everyone was naturally curious.
Qian Shuli was surrounded by the crowd and questioned, he pursed his lips and did not want to answer, but he couldn't get out of the crowd's encirclement.
"Er Hu, come back to make medicine soon." Qian Fu's voice sounded at the door.
When everyone heard about boiling medicine, they thought of the two sick people from the Qian family, so they couldn't hang around anymore.So, slowly they all dispersed.
Qian Fu fastened the gate, and the two entered the main room together.
But she saw Mrs. Cai sitting on the stool, twisting the muslin in the tray in her hands, but staring blankly at the opened bags and baskets.
"Father, this is muslin cloth, this is a bag of polished rice and a bag of white flour, and this is pork."
Just now Qian Fu saw that his son was not coming back, so he went out slowly and shouted.
Mrs. Cai originally wanted to go back to the inner room to rest, but in a blink of an eye she saw what Miss Liu sent and opened it.
However, after she opened it, she was stunned.
At this time, when she saw her husband and son came back, she hurriedly asked them to watch.
Hearing Cai's words, Qian Fu and Qian Shuli hurried forward to check.
I saw snow-white rice and flour in the two bags, large pieces of pork in the basket, and navy blue muslin cloth on the tray.
"This polished rice," Qian Fu stepped forward and weighed the bag with his hands, "you need a bucket."
The bag of white flour is similar to polished rice, so it is estimated to be a bucket.
A bucket in the Daqing Dynasty weighed ten catties.And their family can't eat a pound of polished rice or white noodles a year.
"This pork must weigh ten catties, right?" Qian Fu ran over to weigh the basket again.
"There are two bolts of fine cotton cloth, two bolts." Cai's hand holding the cotton cloth couldn't help trembling.
It's not two feet, it's not two feet, it's horses, it's two horses.How many clothes can you make?
"This, these are too expensive. How can we do this? How can we return the gift?"
Qian Fu looked at the pile of things and rubbed his hands in a panic.
"Miss Liu also gave me a New Year's purse."
Qian Shuli finally regained his composure, and quickly took out the purse from his sleeve and dumped it on the table.
I saw two silver barley seeds carved into wishful shapes rolling out.
Immediately, the members of the Qian family stared even wider.
"This, this, this can't be asked for. Wait for Miss Liu to come and return it, return it. This is money." Qian Fu stuttered.
Although this silver barley seed looks very small, it is also silver.
Nowadays, copper coins are all circulating in the market, and silver is rare.
And their family had only seen Yin Zi when the situation was good more than ten years ago.
But even if you have seen it, the fineness of the silver is not as good as this silver barley, let alone the exquisite carving.
"Okay, don't spend it, pay it back." Qian Shuli was also surprised and could only repeat.
"Quick, hide it, it must be hidden."
Shocked, the Qian family began to look for places to store silver barley seeds.
On the carriage back, Liu Xinning also curiously asked about the meeting ceremony that Chun Nuan had prepared.
She had been thinking about how to go to Daqingshan in a legitimate way after coming to Qingqian Village, so she handed over the preparation of the meeting ceremony to Chun Nuan.
At this moment, she let go of her mind and was in the mood to ask about these things.
Chun Nuan spoke carefully.However, after she finished speaking, Liu Xinning was speechless.
"Girl, are you less prepared?" Chun Nuan asked a little nervously.
The princess asked her to prepare for the meeting ceremony, and said that she should prepare less.In order not to prepare too much and put pressure on others.
The princess also said that she should prepare more practically.So, she prepared rice, flour, meat cloth and the like.
Today, is it too little?
That's right, the meeting gifts prepared by the mansion are all 20 taels of silver plus pen, ink, paper, inkstone and cloth.
However, she only prepared two silver barley seeds, one or two each, and some polished rice, white flour, meat, and cloth.
Indeed, it is a little less.
Thinking of this, Chun Nuan felt a little ashamed.She didn't do a good job of the princess's orders for such a small matter.
"It's too much, it will scare them." Liu Xinning said helplessly.
She has learned about the prices and market conditions of the Daqing Dynasty.
Nowadays, most ordinary people can't afford polished rice and white flour, let alone ten catties.
These things are already precious to a family like the Qian family, not to mention the two taels of silver.
"It's too much? Is this too much?" Chun Nuan was a little surprised, and then a little embarrassed.
After all, she has stayed in the palace for a long time, and since she went to the Princess's mansion, she has always been a first-class concubine, let alone the concubine who is in charge of the nanny now.
Therefore, she had forgotten what these things meant to the poor Qian family.
"Forget it, it's already been sent over, so that's it. Wait until you follow over tomorrow, just to appease them."
Liu Xinning immediately let go of such trivial matters.She pulled up the curtains of the car and talked to Xiao Muze about arranging people to go up the mountain to find people.
"Cousin, don't worry. I'm bored with nothing to do now. If you leave it to me, I will definitely do well for you."
Xiao Muze didn't take it seriously after being a transparent person all morning, on the contrary, he responded to Liu Xinning's confession again and again.
Do something well.
Don't tell me when you're done?
If you choose to talk about it during a meal, can't you have a meal together?
Eating together, wouldn't it be an extra chance to get along?
Thinking of this, Xiao Muze's expression was filled with anticipation.
Liu Xinning didn't notice Xiao Muze's expression, but continued to concentrate on thinking about the next thing.
The book only mentions the gold mine discovered in the back mountain of Daqing Mountain, but it doesn't say where it is.
After that, there were many small hills on the green hills.
In particular, manpower is also a problem.
Yes, Liu Xinning doesn't want to alert the government yet.
Because, she had to make sure that she knew about it first, and then went to Datian to listen.
Let no one in Zhaoyang City try to hide this matter.
In the book, if the matter of the gold mine can be secretly obtained by the fifth prince, it means that there must be people in Zhaoyang County who belong to the fifth prince or who want to surrender to the fifth prince.
After all, the Fifth Prince is far away in the capital, so he won't let his own people go to this Daqing Mountain to look for gold mines for no reason, right?
Most likely it was someone who discovered it and gave it to the Fifth Prince.
It's just that I don't know if the person who discovered it was an official or an official?Is it the people or the soldiers?
Therefore, she couldn't trust anyone from Zhaoyang County to the governor of Zhaoyang County and down to the Qingshan County Government.
In this way, the time to search is probably not short.
She is not in a hurry to return to Beijing, she must find a gold mine before going back.
Just relying on the escort of the two of them alone, when will this be found?
Who should I turn to for help?
Liu Xinning frowned and thought.
