    In the east wing of Heliangyuan

    Mrs. Xiao was massaging Wen Qilian. She was massaging Wen Qilian while smiling: "Hasn't Mr. Lang been complaining about not being able to go out these days? It's rare for my mother-in-law to take you out today. Why are you still looking sad? I heard that my mother-in-law pushed  I've traveled more than ten miles away from you, why does my mother-in-law look so energetic, but you, the one sitting here, look tired and frowning?"

    ¡°You know what, it¡¯s a bumpy road.

    Along the way, my bones were almost broken, and so was my mother. It¡¯s not like we don¡¯t have sedans and carriages at home" As Wen Qilian was talking, Butler Min's voice suddenly came from outside the house, which frightened him and hurried  Stopped talking.

    "Butler Min, what's going on so late?"

    Mrs. Xiao saw that her husband-in-law was too scared to speak, so she hurriedly asked with a chuckle from across the room.

    "Master Marquis, I give you something on the order of the old lady. The old lady said that this thing will be considered as the cost of your hard work today and in the past.

    I don¡¯t know if I can send it in?  "

    Butler Min actually didn¡¯t know what was in the box, he was just ordered to deliver it, and he wasn¡¯t curious about it.

    Wen Qi even understood now that this was the buyout fee given by his mother: "Then bring it in, and just find a place to put it down."

    Butler Min outside heard the permission and asked another servant nearby to open the door. He walked in with a heavy box in his arms, put the box in a corner of the room with difficulty, and then hurriedly saluted.  Resign and leave.

    ¡°It¡¯s so strange, what did you do when you went out with your mother today, and why did your mother give you a reward?

    May I take a look at it?  "

    Ms. Xiao asked curiously, while keeping her eyes on the box.

    Wen Qilian nodded: "You can see it if you want. I don't know what my mother sent me."

    Just as he was talking, Mrs. Xiao, who had already opened the box on the other side, screamed. I have to say that such a large and exquisite cornucopia of pure gold, with a basin full of gold ingots, jewelry and jade, was quite  Blinding.

    "My God, sir, there are so many golds, gems and jade, and even Dongzhu. How could mother suddenly give you so many good things?"

    Mrs. Xiao was surprised and excited at first and kept touching the jewelry in the cornucopia. She was pleasantly surprised by the quail egg-sized pearls and fist-sized gems and jade inside. But she soon calmed down and began to wonder what happened to her angry mother-in-law.  Such a big gift would come unexpectedly.

    "Really, help me go and have a look!"

    Wen Qilian suddenly became energetic and stood up excitedly, wanting to see what was in the box.

    Mrs. Xiao knew his temperament, so she was not surprised. Instead, she quickly walked away from the box, helped Wen Qilian into a wheelchair, and pushed him to the side of the box. Now, Wen Qilian naturally saw the cornucopia inside the box and the inside of the cornucopia.  Full of treasures, he suddenly giggled:

    ¡°There are so many things. Isn¡¯t that basin inside here also made of gold? Madam, why don¡¯t you bite it and take a look? This mother¡¯s surprise is too big.

    I¡¯m so happy!  "

    I have to say that people with weaknesses and hobbies are really easy to deal with, as long as you identify their weaknesses and hobbies and give them something.

    "Look at your money-obsessed look, and the way Butler Min was struggling just now. This basin can't be fake. What's more, my mother has given me so many good things. I can't give you a fake basin. The workmanship of this basin is really good."  It's exquisite, and seems to be made in the shape of a cornucopia. I think we can keep it as a family heirloom, and the jewelry and gold inside can also be used to make jewelry for the daughter to keep at the bottom of the box, or for the son to use as a betrothal gift.

    Do you agree or not?  "

    Although Mrs. Xiao has obtained the key to the public treasury again and the jewelry she was given, the jewelry she took from those slaves is really not worth putting on the table. These days, really good jewelry is not easy to get.  Yes, but many of the jewels in this cornucopia are better than those of the advanced ones. It would be a waste to hide such good things. It is better to make them into jewelery and give them as betrothal gifts to your son and daughter, especially those few Dou Dongzhu, Dongzhu  The service life of the pearls is less than a hundred years, and the glorious years are only about fifty years. If you don't quickly make them into jewelry, you can't let those pearls turn yellow.  The so-called pearls become yellow when old, which means that pearls are like beautiful women, their days of youth and beauty are very short.

    ¡°You¡¯ve already decided and you still ask me what to do, that¡¯s it, that¡¯s itYes, but I have to keep this golden basin and put it in my private treasury. I feel comfortable looking at this thing.  "

    Although Wen Qilian was a little reluctant to part with it, after all, it was for his daughter-in-law. No matter how reluctant he was, he could only pinch his nose and endure it. At the same time, he was a little lucky. Fortunately, he did not find so many concubines and only gave birth to two children. If he also  If he had a lot of children like his father, it would be a lot of heartache to find wives for his sons and daughters later.

    "I know, forget it. I guess you're not in the mood to talk to me anymore now. I'll just leave these things here for you to enjoy for the night. I'll come over tomorrow to get the pearls and jade here so that I can send someone to make jewelry.  , they have reached the age of looking at each other, so they have to hurry up, otherwise it may be too late to make some exquisite jewelry!"

    After all, Mrs. Xiao has been married to Wen Qilian for more than 20 years, so how can she not know what kind of temper he is? When she saw the golden look in his eyes, she didn't know that there was nothing to talk about if she continued to stay here.  At this moment, his thoughts were probably all focused on the cornucopia and the jewelry in the basin, so he left happily.

    Wen Qilian didn't even pay attention. He was holding the cornucopia and giggling foolishly. From time to time, he would grab a handful of Dongzhu from it and enjoy it, laughing.

    Very happy.

    ¡­¡­

    Three days later, Qiao Mu prepared the psychological test questions and called Butler Min and her son over. Butler Min was very easy to arrange, just give him the test questions directly and ask him to take the test with him.  Go to the expatriate village where you were asked to give them a test. Just wait until they finish the test and bring the paper back. It's not difficult. It can be explained clearly in a few sentences.

    After Butler Min left, Qiao Mu said:

    "You should know about the disasters in Jiangbei and Gannan this year. The floods are monstrous. Although those two places are not as good as Jiangnan, their grain output can also account for a certain share of domestic grain output, so this time it is considered a big one.  Fortunately, our small and large farms are not in those two places.

    Our family was in the limelight some time ago, and this time it happened to be the time to pretend to be poor. Looking back, you saw that some of the unnecessary things in the house were sold off at low prices, and then after two days the emperor said that the treasury was empty and asked for donations for disaster relief.  When the time comes, you can just add a little more money from selling things at low prices and hand them over in full.  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
