Chapter 714: Too Offensive

Because of the lack of time, Liu Ji had no time to see what the gifts were.

But he was not in a hurry. After all, he and his wife were a family, and his wife's was his.

Perhaps because he did not let the driver disturb his good dream, his wife would reward him with one later.

At this moment, Liu Ji had completely forgotten his angry declaration yesterday that he and Qin Yao would not live together because of a strand of hair.

Sikong saw this guy, who was being attentive for no reason, he was either a traitor or a thief!

Liu Ji had been asking the driver about this all the way, but unfortunately the driver was just an errand boy and could not ask anything.

He only said that the adults attached great importance to this gift and specifically asked him to see Qin Yao personally accept the gift.

Of course, when he said this, the driver did not forget to hint to Liu Ji that he should remember to conceal it for him.

"Don't worry, I, Liu Ji, am a man of my word and will never betray you." Liu Ji patted the driver on the shoulder and said affectionately.

The driver breathed a sigh of relief.

So, when Qin Yao woke up and opened the door, she was blocked by a pile of gifts.

Yin Le was waiting outside the door. Seeing this, he called out in surprise: "Master, you are awake. I will go and heat up your breakfast."

"Wait!" Qin Yao stopped him and pointed to the red and green gift boxes at the door, asking suspiciously: "What is this?"

Yin Le slapped his head, "I was so busy standing at attention that I forgot. This was sent by the driver of the Imperial Master's Mansion this morning. He said that his master gave it to you, Master."

Qin Yao raised his eyebrows, "Just send it? There is no reason to say it?"

Yin Le shook his head, as if there really was no reason.

Qin Yao waved her hand, indicating that she should get busy.

She squatted down and looked at these beautifully packaged gift boxes. There were eight boxes of different sizes. She picked up the top palm-sized small box and shook it. There was no sound. It should be that the items inside were fixed.

Adhering to the idea of ​​not wasting it, Qin Yao brought a small stool and sat at the door, basking in the rare sunshine while opening the gift boxes.

There should be few people in this world who don't like to open gifts, especially those with such packaging, and they often expect surprises.

However, two thumb-sized golden mandarin ducks were opened in the first small box, a pair of concentric silver locks were opened in the second box, and twelve silk flowers, a papaya, and some rouge and powder were opened in the third box.

"What are these things!" Qin Yao speechlessly put down the long peach branch that she opened at the end, feeling that she was fooled.

To be honest, she was very disappointed with this pile of gifts!

Except for the thumb-sized golden mandarin ducks, they were pure gold ingots after all. If you weigh them, they should be about seven or eight taels.

When Yin Le brought breakfast, she saw the objects on the ground. She didn't expect it, so she didn't feel disappointed, but just felt something was strange.

"Master, are these the gifts from the national teacher?" Yin Le put the tray on the small table in the room, walked to the door, and squatted down.

She first glanced at Qin Yao, and after getting her approval, she picked up the peach branches and papayas on the ground, looking left and right, and the more she looked at them, the more strange they seemed.

"Master, I haven't read much, but these peach branches and papayas don't seem to be given to anyone casually, and those silk flowers and love locks, the more they look like they are given to your sweetheart?"

After saying the word sweetheart, Yin Le finally knew what was strange.

A dignified national master, giving these ambiguous objects to a married man, as if giving a token of love, wouldn't it lead to misunderstanding!

Too offensive!

Yin Le looked up and saw the master's expression, and his face really sank.

He said coldly: "Take it to make a fire!"

After that, he only took the pair of pure gold mandarin ducks, got up and went into the house for breakfast.

Yin Le looked at the box of beautiful silk flowers and love locks, and asked hesitantly: "Do you want to burn this too?"

Qin Yao drank the meat porridge and said casually: "If you like it, you can take it and dispose of it."

Yin Le immediately bowed happily, "Thank you, Master!"

She put away all the items except the papaya and peach branches, and planned to sell them to Aunt Yu and Zhang Guizhi in a while.

The pair of love locks were beautifully made, and the silk flowers were made of the best silk material, which looked very unique. There were also those rouge and powder, which looked good and must be easy to sell.

As soon as he said it, Yin Le threw the peach branches and papaya into the stove first, and then found a tablecloth to cover a small low table, and went out with the low table and the gifts.

There was an old elm tree at the entrance of the alley, and under the elm tree was a fruit stall. The young wives and old ladies in Kuanzhengfang liked to come here to join in the fun. If they were lucky, they could even eat a bad fruit.

Since moving to Kuanzhengfang, Yin Le has nothing to do. Every day he just buys vegetables, washes clothes, and cleans the house.

Most of the rest of the time, he makes clothes, embroiders, and gossips with Aunt Yu and her gang.

Qin Yao's understanding of the neighbors is all from Yin Le's mouth. Now, no one in the family knows better than Yin Le what's going on in each family.

Look, seeing Yin Le coming over with a low table and a bag of something, the gossip has already been talked about. Aunt Yu and the other women who were taking a break immediately stared at him with sharp eyes.

"A Le, what is this big bag in your hand?" Zhang Guizhi is young and gets along best with Yin Le, so she was pushed out by everyone to ask.

Yin Le smiled mysteriously at her, waved his hand to signal everyone to make way, put down the low table next to the fruit stall, and put out the things in the bag one by one.

While arranging them, she said: "Today, I was cleaning up the storeroom at home and found these items. You know my master, it's not easy to dress up, so he gave them all to me. I thought I couldn't use so many by myself, so I took them out to share with my sisters."

"The items are all brand new. If you guys like them, just give a little copper coins. Just think of it as cleaning up the storeroom for my family."

The items have been laid out, and the exquisitely crafted and brightly colored silk flowers made Zhang Guizhi and the others moved.

It's really a good thing. Such silk flowers are probably hard to buy outside.

And those rouge and powder are all from the largest rouge shop in Beijing, "Taohuafang". The powder is fine, the color is even, and there are special fragrances. They are all good things that they envy but can't bear to buy.

"This pair of love locks was made by the master craftsman in the old silver shop. They have the master's engraving mark on them. I wanted to buy a pair for my granddaughter as a dowry. I didn't expect your master to have one too. It's so new, but you don't want it?"

Yin Le quoted Zhang Guizhi the price of a few silk flowers, two hundred coins each, and replied to the surprised old lady, "Yes, my master doesn't like these vulgar things. Do you want them? Just ask for supplies according to the weight of the silver. You'll miss it if you miss it!"

"How can I be embarrassed?" She said she was embarrassed, but the old lady held the silver lock in her hand but didn't let go. She ran home to get the silver for Yin Le.

Soon, the pile of things was sold out - after all, there were only a few in total.
