Chapter 101 Visiting the Gu Family
"My aunt is thoughtful. You can wear this in normal times. It doesn't prevent you from keeping your filial piety. You have that snobbish eye. You should respect clothes first and then others."
Li Yu clapped his hands and praised Wang Yue for being thorough.
"So lovely…"
Lin Yue had never worn such expensive jewelry before, she gently touched the face of the pearl with her hand, her face was full of joy.
"How much did my aunt give you?"
Li Yu was so curious.
Lin Yue stuffed it to her, "Count it yourself."
She first took the jewelry and put it on Li Yu and her own head, and she became smug.
"Hey, two thousand five hundred taels, not old or young, it's only been two months."
"There are quite a lot. The Qi's shop also sells our cosmetics, and I sent money to me a while ago."
Qi’s family has its own shop and contacts, and when things are ready, they can be sold in Qi’s shop. Wang Yue also has his own shop and sells them together.
"What are you going to do with the money?"
"I don't know either. I don't plan to buy a shop for the time being. I don't have enough manpower. I can't make up for it. Let's talk about finishing the newly bought shop."
"I'm planning to exchange some gold and silver, and ask the jewelry store to harvest some gold, silver, peanuts and sunflower seeds for rewards. Do you want to exchange some gold ingots or something? It's convenient and cheap to make jewelry. These days are stable, and the price of gold has dropped gone."
"Then I'll go with you. I'll keep one thousand taels as a spare, and I'll exchange the rest. I'll exchange less for silver and more for gold. I'll make some gold melon seeds and silver coins to give to my aunt as rewards."
Lin Yue will never forget her aunt.
Li Yu nodded with a smile, "If you want to send it, be more generous, get more and put it in a box and send it there."
Lin Yue blinked at her, "What does this mean?"
"Knock the mountain and shake the tiger."
Li Yu winked at her.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Lin Yue now listens to Li Yu's words as a golden rule, pointing to where to fight, this is the only one who never gave up on her when she was in the most difficult time, this love will be remembered for a lifetime, no one can be trusted, but Li Yu's words cannot be ignored. listen.
Li Yu smiled and asked Lin Yue to hold up the mirror for herself.
"This hairpin looks good on you. I wear it for you. We wear it together. We look like sisters."
Lin Yue generously gave Li Yu her new pearl and silver silk jewelry.
"You really give it to me, you don't feel bad."
"Think people down."
Lin Yue gave her an angry look and pouted.
"Okay, I want this tassel hairpin."
Lin Yue just smiled, "Come here, I drew the jewelry for you, don't you want to exchange for gold, just make jewelry in advance, after the New Year you should be filial piety, and you will wear jewelry."
"Let me see, ah, it's so beautiful."
Li Yu smiled happily.
Lin Yue drew several sets for her, all of which are jewelry patterns that fit her temperament and habits. The tassel hairpins are used to tie her hair. There are several different designs and colors, which are beautiful and neat. There are also head and face jewelry for meeting guests.
"It's so beautiful, I want it all."
"Then do it, you are the only one, no one else has it."
Lin Yue looked at her and smiled happily.
"Well, do."
It's almost the end of the new year, everyone is busy, Lin Yue and a few girls are learning to prepare gifts for each household.
After buying some sheepskin and fur goods, they also need cotton and so on. Li Yu and Lin Yue have their own property, and they have to change clothes to take care of their servants. The sheepskin and cotton are bought for the servants. Wear new clothes.
Today, Xian Linyue asked Ding Xiang and the boy to bring gifts to Gu's house to visit her aunt and the elderly.
"Hello Grandpa Gu, Hello Second Aunt Gu, Hello Third Aunt."
"Yue'er is here, did you bring something nice for your aunt today, and your aunt was still talking about you, saying that you haven't seen her for several days."
"It's a bit busy these days. Aunt Wang's family is teaching us how to learn, and there is Zhuangzi to take care of. It's not snowing yet. I hurriedly bought some sheepskin and cotton for them to make clothes for. It's hard to get settled after all this busyness. come down."
Lin Yue hurriedly explained that it was her first time as a housekeeper director, she was inexperienced, and was in a hurry.
Then let someone present a gift, "Don't think I'm rough, I sent the New Year's gift in advance, I'm still in the filial piety period, I will visit again after the New Year, I am afraid that it will be impolite to offend other wives."
She asked her aunt specifically that it is not easy to go out during the filial piety period, and she is afraid of collisions.
"This kid is getting more and more polite."
Second Aunt Gu saw that there were a lot of presents, and she was satisfied, she was presentable, and she was more sensible than before.
"What is that, a big box."
"The price of gold has dropped, I exchanged some, and gave my aunt some rings, peanuts and gold melon seeds, so that she can keep it as a reward."
"Hey! See who is worrying about you, who can wrong your aunt."
Second Aunt Gu smiled awkwardly.
"Okay, you love your aunt, you have to come and play often, your aunt misses you, our family doesn't have that much courtesy."
Grandpa Gu is very happy. This child has finally grown up. He has bumps and bumps all over his head. He has also learned to stand up, and he knows how to support her aunt.
"Grandpa Gu, this is for you. I went to the shop to play the other day. I fell in love with this. Yu'er helped me choose it. I'm afraid I might miss it. You keep it for fun. It's a little bit of filial piety from the younger generation."
Lin Yue respectfully presented the gift and saluted.
"My good boy, it cost you money. Now that you live by yourself, you have to learn to be frugal and not be too extravagant."
Grandpa Gu received the gift. It was an antique ivory carving.
"yes."
"Tell me what you plan to do in the future, so I can make plans for you."
Grandpa Gu treated her very well, treating her like a serious relative and taking care of her.
"Grandpa, I want to stand on my own and support the Lin family. My surname is Lin, and I am the only one left in my Lin family. Someone must fill the Lin family with incense."
Lin Yue looked at the old man and expressed her thoughts.
"That's hard work, and it's also a lower family background. Have you really thought about it?"
Grandpa Gu admired her courage in his heart.
"I've thought about it for a long time, and decided to start my own family. In fact, it's no different now. As an orphan, I don't have too many ceremonies. It may not be good to go to another house. It's better to live by myself instead of being more comfortable."
Pu will have a child who will study well in the future and inherit the incense of the Lin family.
"Well, it's also a way out. Don't feel sorry for yourself. Anyway, I'm not dead yet. It's not up to others to bully you. The Gu family will support you if the sky falls."
Grandpa Gu's attitude has never changed, and he will not ignore her.
Lin Yue knelt down and kowtowed to Grandpa Gu, "My junior thank you for your kindness in nurturing the Gu family. I have caused you a lot of trouble for the Gu family. In the past, I was the one who was ignorant, and I finally woke up from a dream."
"I want to set up my own family. In the future, I will have children to support the Lin family. Start from the beginning. I can't waste my life for nothing. This is bought with other people's lives..."
Lin Yue choked up.
Grandpa Gu helped her up himself, "My good boy, you are sensible, don't be afraid, my old man will still be here when the sky falls."
"Thank you grandpa for loving me."
