Chapter 143 144 Xiao Xi’s Wife Is the Most Beautiful

Li Yu pointed to the contract, "Because he knows that even if he doesn't write anything, we won't sell the seeds to others. It's better to be more generous and make us feel that they are open and generous."

After hearing this, Zhou Jia patted his head and suddenly realized, "Yu'er, you see clearly. Just now I thought that the contract only restricted Sihai Bank and had no restrictions or requirements on us. I still felt uneasy."

Li Yu knew that Zhou Jia was a little worried because the person signing the contract was the current emperor. She didn't have much respect for the imperial power in her heart. She just felt that doing business with the young master was only mutually beneficial for both parties.

Zhou Jia pointed to the box with a smile, "Come on, fish, let's see what gifts are given to us in the box!"

Zhou Jia opened the sandalwood box and saw four boxes inside. The top two boxes were opened. One contained two boxes of Huizhou ink, and the other contained two inkstones and two Hu brushes.

Zhou Jia picked up an ink stick and explained to Li Yu in surprise, "These two boxes are Hui ink. I heard that Hui ink does not fade when put into the paper, and does not stick to the paper when licked. The color is dark and moist, and it lasts for a long time. It is top-grade ink. This inkstone It’s a Duan inkstone, very valuable.”

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia's love for it with a smile, and said softly: "If you like it, we will buy it after you use it."

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and smiled, "I want to leave one set for Ah Qing, and keep one set for future generations and pass it on to our son."

After hearing this, Li Yu rolled his eyes at him. Zhou Jia chuckled and put the pen and inkstone aside, "Come and see what kind of box gift it is."

Li Yu also waited curiously for Zhou Jia to open it. Zhou Jia took out the carved box from the wooden box. When he opened it, he saw that it was filled with brilliance. A set of chicken blood rubies the size of lotus seeds, and the jewelry lay quietly in the box. .

Zhou Jia took out another box, which contained a set of pearl jewelry the size of lotus seeds. The pearls were all the same size, round and glowing with light fluorescence.

Li Yu was filled with admiration, "This is too expensive! If these jewelry were sold, they would definitely fetch a lot of money.

Zhou Jia tapped Li Yu's nose and smiled fondly, "Young fool, you can't just sell this thing casually. If the superiors find out, you will be punished."

Li Yu curled his lips and said in disgust: "You gave it to me, but you're not allowed to sell it to me?"

"Selling it is disrespectful to the superiors. Why sell such a good thing? Many people can't get it even if they ask for it!" Zhou Jia took out a string of pearl necklaces and put it on Li Yu's neck, which was as white and tender as a lotus root, his eyes shining. He looked at Li Yu and said, "Yu'er, you look so beautiful wearing this pearl necklace."

Li Yu touched the necklace around his neck and took a look in front of the dim bronze mirror. "It looks pretty, but I don't like wearing jewelry. It's cumbersome."

"Okay, I'll buy you two sets of simpler jewelry later." Zhou Jia took the necklace handed over by Li Yu and put it into the jewelry box. "You can take it later and put it away until we get married." At that time, the one wearing the ruby ​​​​must look good, and those who didn’t know thought it was a fairy descending to earth.”

After hearing this, Li Yu smiled and leaned on Zhou Jia's shoulder, "You! You're not afraid of others laughing at you. You always say you look good no matter what I wear."

Zhou Jia kissed Li Yu and narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Xiao Xi's wife is beautiful no matter what, and I didn't tell lies."

Suddenly Laidi held Brother Zhu and poked her head at the door, "Oh! Brother Zhu, listen, my second sister's teeth are going to be sore! Cousin, aren't your teeth sore? Hehe..." Laidi said and hugged her. As Brother Zhu turned around and ran away, Zhou Jia and Li Yu instantly turned into two braised prawns.

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then pushed Zhou Jia, "Oh! It's all your fault. That little girl Laidi heard everything."

Zhou Jia quickly comforted with a smile, "I'll ask Aunt He to cook her something delicious later, and cover her mouth so she won't laugh at you."

The two talked again in the house, and Mrs. Liu came to report: "Girl, there are several families in the village who said they came to see you for something."

"You take them to sit in the main room, I will be there later." Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia strangely, "What do they want from me? Is there anything going on in the village these days?"

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu pretending to be mysterious and said, "Zhou Shenxian, let me tell you, they want to buy new rice seeds from you. This year, the rice in the more than ten acres of fields will grow well and the harvest will be good. No one in the village knows. "

Li Yu frowned, "I'm going to take a look first. I don't want to sell rice seeds to unsuitable people at will."

Zhou Jia stood up and looked at Li Yu, "If you should refuse, you should refuse as a matter of course. Their life is already good enough. Their income from the fields and their annual wages will give them a lot of money after one year." Zhou Jia was a little angry. , "I think some people in the village have a growing appetite."

After hearing this, Li Yu also felt that what Zhou Jia said was right. Since the last time the bandits came, Li Yu felt that the people's hearts in the village were different from before. Li Yu knew that this is how the world is. Some people can share adversity, but they cannot share it. Rich.

"I know it well. You lie down and rest for a while, and I'll go see which ones it is."

Zhou Jia nodded and went back to rest against the head of the kang.

Li Yu went to the main room and saw five or six women from the village. One was Mrs. Jin, the daughter-in-law of Grandma Chen, and the other was Mrs. Chen, the daughter-in-law of Liu Kun. Li Yu wanted to get familiar with these two women. The other four Li Yu couldn't figure out whose daughter-in-law they were from.

Several people were sitting on the sofa and were muttering something. When they saw Li Yu arriving at the door of the hall, Grandma Chen's daughter-in-law, Jin, quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, my aunts are here to disturb you today." ”

Li Yu looked at them politely and distantly, "I wonder what the aunts want from me?"

Seeing Li Yu's cold smile, Jin couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, so she had to bite the bullet and said, "Xiaoyu, we are here to ask you, do you want to sell your new rice seeds?"

The Chen family also looked at Li Yu eagerly, and Li Yu smiled faintly, "I'm sorry, those seeds can't even be planted in my farmland in Zhuangzi. I haven't thought about selling them yet."

Jin's expression was a little sarcastic, "That's it! Then we'll go back first, sorry to disturb you, Xiaoyu."

The other people seemed to want to say something else, "Let's go! Let's not delay Xiaoyu at Xiaoyu's house." Jin and Chen quickly pulled a few people away.

Several people walked outside the house, and the sharp-faced woman muttered dissatisfiedly, "Xiaoyu is worthy of being Juren's fiancée now! That look on her face is really scary."

"Cuixiang, stop talking nonsense, Xiaoyu is not like that," Mrs. Chen looked at Cuixiang with some dissatisfaction, "My boss said I was not allowed to come to Xiaoyu to buy rice seeds. Don't let it slip when you go back. , otherwise there will be a quarrel in my family."

Cuixiang looked at Mrs. Chen and sneered: "Ms. Chen, you are my aunt from Xishan Village. If Liu Kun didn't escape here with your parents and us, how could these stable days come about."

After hearing this, Ms. Chen felt a little unhappy and looked at the woman with a dark face, "Cuixiang, don't say sarcastic words. If it weren't for Xiaoyu and Mr. Zhou, even if we were lucky enough to escape here, we would have been massacred by bandits years ago. Village. Bah! I was also obsessed, and I followed you just after being incited by you."

After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she left a few people behind and left with regret, and Mrs. Jin also hurriedly followed Mrs. Chen.
