Jiusi chased her for a while with a smile on his face, then stopped chasing her. He told the steward here to keep an eye on her more, and then went back to deal with other things.
Returning to the hall, she gave instructions: "In January, you take a few of them to send the meeting gifts I prepared to the various masters of the Jia family. Although we don't plan to stay here for a long time, we are guests after all."
, Etiquette is still indispensable, lest people say that our Lin family does not understand the rules, that would be so bad!"
It's one thing to show off the Jia family with a gift list when you enter the house, but it's another thing not to give a greeting gift to everyone in the Jia family. Especially when Lin Ruhai is being stared at now, her behavior after entering Beijing will definitely attract attention.
I noticed, so it’s better to be more thorough.
After hearing her instructions, Liu Lu all bowed and said, "Yes, miss, the slaves will go right away." After that, they turned around and went to each courtyard.
Jiusi didn't prepare anything specially for them. Aunt Lin asked her to prepare it based on the situation of the masters of each courtyard.
Jia Mu likes richer things, so what she gave her was a screen embroidered with gold and silver threads. The picture was drawn by Jiusi, and the embroidery was done by the maids. If there is anything special about it, maybe
It must be a bit of nightmare powder that Jiusi accidentally sprinkled on it!
Next are the two Jia family masters.
Mr. Jia She likes to collect things, so Jiusi gave him a vase. What is special about the vase is that the patterns on it are not only complex, but also hollow. The most important thing is that even if it contains
It won’t leak even if it’s watered.
The second master, Jia Zheng, likes elegant things, so Jiusi gave him an inkstone. The inkstone is really famous and good, but it depends on whether he knows the goods.
The other men of the Jia family, regardless of their concubines, were given the Four Treasures of the Study and books with annotations. They were all good things. It just depends on whether anyone has studied them seriously.
Compared with gifts from men, gifts to women are more luxurious. Mrs. Xing was from a poor background. What she lacked most was money and jewelry to support the occasion, so Jiusi gave her a set of gold and jade headdresses.
Just make sure you show up to attract others' attention.
As for Mrs. Wang, who was involved in everything, Jiusi gave her famous Buddhist scriptures, which she was guaranteed to read every day.
Buddhist things should not be contaminated with other things, as they would be offensive, so Jiusi did some tricks on the box that contained the things to ensure that she and Jia Mu were treated the same.
Li Wan was a widowed man, so Jiusi couldn't give her something eye-catching, so he made a set of nine rings and other objects out of jade and gave them to her to relieve her boredom.
Wang Xifeng has a flamboyant personality and has a daughter, so Jiusi gave her two sets of red jade hair and face masks. The designs and colors match those of mother and daughter, ensuring that others will know they are mother and daughter at a glance.
As for Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun, each of them has twelve jade hairpins, with flowers and trees of the twelve seasons, so they can wear them as they like.
Jiusi felt some pity for these three poor women, so she put a little more thought into giving them gifts.
As for the three people of the Xue family, Jiusi did not personally arrange it. They were all prepared by Nanny Lin in accordance with the custom of giving to distant relatives, so she did not pay much attention to them, as long as they did not make people feel rude.
I have to say that it is true that many Li people do not blame me.
Everyone in the Jia family who originally had a lot of objections to her changed their minds a lot after receiving the things she sent. Even if she didn't send them in person, they didn't think she was rude, they just thought she didn't have time to be busy.
.
The most intuitive manifestation is the return gifts brought back six months ago.
Six Months put the things in front of her one by one and began to introduce them to her: "This first box is a return gift from the old lady. It contains the jewelry she wore when she was young. She said that she doesn't need it now.
Now, let’s use it for the girl and the second girl to play with.”
Hearing this, Jiusi opened it and took a look. Although the things inside looked good, they didn't look like something the old lady had worn. It must have been something left by Jia Min before she got married, and the box seemed to be made of
It was soaked in some kind of medicine, and it smells a little off.
Oh, this old lady is really determined to give up!
Since it was left by Jia Min, let's give it to Daiyu. She won't need it anyway, but before I give it to her, I have to replace the box first, otherwise it will be a good intention and a bad thing. p>
Thinking about it, she went to the shelf and got a new box. Then, after changing the contents into the new box, she threw it to January: "Go, give all the contents in this box to the second girl."
Go, girl, I want to keep my filial piety, there is no need for these bright things."
Yiyue reached out to catch the box, said "yes", and took the box to Daiyu's place.
February stretched out his hand to take over the box with the problem and gave it to March to handle. Then he introduced it to her: "These two boxes are the return gifts from the eldest lady and the eldest master. They contain the eldest lady's dowry."
A gold bracelet, and a dagger studded with precious stones given by the lord."
Jiusi opened the two boxes and took a look. Although the style of the gold bracelet was outdated, it was well preserved. The dagger was actually edged. It seemed that this old man was not as bad as anyone thought! <
/p>
"This couple is really interesting. They are obviously a close couple, but one of them gave her a sincere gift without knowing anything, and the other gave her a sharpened dagger as a warning. It's really interesting!" As she said that, she said
The dagger was thrown back into the box.
Er Yue saw that she looked wrong, thought for a while and said: "Girl, do you want me to teach him a lesson?"
Jiusi waved his hand carelessly and said: "No need, he is just a coward who only knows how to escape.
Even if he has real talent and knowledge, after so many years of trouble, he is almost useless. There is no use in warning me. It is just incompetence and rage."
After hearing what she said in February, he calmed down and went on to introduce: "This is the return gift from the second master and second wife. It is a pair of calligraphy and painting and a pair of jade bracelets."
Jiusi opened it and took a look. It was quite satisfactory and there were no special medicines in it, so he nodded with satisfaction.
Next came Li Wan's return gift. In February, he opened the box for her to see and explained to her: "The eldest young lady said that she was a widow and had no support and her life was not very well-off, so she returned the same gift as the three girls.
It’s the embroidery I embroidered.”
Hearing this, Jiusi couldn't help but sneered: "Oh, although I gave the gift not to get them to return the gift, but to see how the heads of the family would react to my arrival, this eldest lady's behavior made it clear
You don’t like me very much. If that’s the case, then you should have less contact with that place from now on!”
Li Wan, the young lady, is not as simple as she seems. Otherwise, she would not have been able to leave safely with her dowry and so much wealth given to her by the Jia family after the Jia family was defeated.
But the reason why Jiusi doesn't want to get in contact with her is not because she is so powerful, but because her heart is too cold.
