Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1270 Famine and Natural Disaster 429

Mingyi smiled slightly, "I haven't seen you for a few days, you are so sweet."

"Young lady..." Chunliu smiled subtly with pursed lips, looking shy.

"My dear, when did you come back? How come we didn't know? If we had known, we would have come back to serve you long ago."

Chunhong just listened and didn't take it to heart. She quickly reacted and walked up to talk to her.

Chunxi said, "We have been back for several days. You went home to visit your family, so why did you stay away for so many days?"

"Chunxi, my brother is getting engaged. Maybe you don't know this, but he is getting engaged to the granddaughter of Manager Lin, the manager of the outer courtyard of the mansion."

Chunhong said with a smile.

Chunliu followed suit, "The one that Chunhong's brother has chosen is the little granddaughter of the Lin family, who is 13 years old this year. We are just waiting to start the marriage in two years."

"Congratulations, Chunhong. Your family is going to have a wedding." Mingyi said with a smile, and then instructed Chunmei, "Chunhong's brother is engaged. I don't have much to say. There happens to be a set of headgear on the dressing table that has not been worn yet. Just consider it as a make-up for Chunhong's future sister-in-law."

"My dear, that's not possible. That's yours. How can I give it to my future sister-in-law?" Chunhong waved her hands repeatedly, flattered. She was usually a steady person, but now she was a little embarrassed and unnatural. "I am just happy to tell you this good news and share it with you. I don't want your reward."

Mingyi smiled gently and said, "I know what you mean. Your family may not need such a set of headgear. But this is my gift. Just give it to your brother and let him give it to your future sister-in-law. It will be a decent gift."

To be able to hold the position of a manager one must have some family background. Chunxi and the other three’s families are well-off in the mansion, otherwise they would not have been assigned to serve her.

Doing one's best is one thing, but from ancient times to the present, connections and abilities are relatively linked; they are capable and stand out among the same group of maids, but they must have also contributed a lot to the family.

There are certain unspoken rules everywhere, but some of them are relatively fair, while others are hard to accept.

"How could that be? Your headwear is the most valuable, made of the finest materials, and was brought in as tribute from outside. Although we servants have some headwear and jewelry at home to show off, they were all gifts from our masters, and they are also very good, but they are still far inferior to yours."

Chunhong pondered for a moment and spoke directly and beautifully.

What Yan Ming obtained were all rewards from their masters, but it was impossible for their masters to reward them with top-notch things.

So seriously speaking, Mingyi jewelry is definitely top-notch.

Her words were not pure flattery, but the mansion had been tightening her spending; although Steward Luo was busy with the army's food and fodder matters these days, the best part of the things brought back by the caravan from the northwest was still distributed to Tao Yiyuen.

But Mingyi was not very sensitive to these things, and she was busy putting things away, so it was all done by the maids.

"Then give it to your brother and make your sister-in-law happy." Mingyi winked at Chunmei.

Chunmei bowed with a smile and went back to the bedroom. After a moment, she came out holding a set of jewelry in her hands.

"My dear, I have brought you what you requested."

"Give it to Chunhong." As soon as Mingyi finished speaking, Chunmei put the thing in Chunhong's hands.

Chunhong looked at the emerald green headpiece in her hand, which was made of fine jade and some unknown minerals.

"My dear, this headgear was just sent by Steward Luo. You have never worn it before. How can you give it to me?"

As soon as the caravan from the Western Regions returned, Butler Luo sent some of the good things inside to Tao Yiyuan.

They placed the two top-quality sets on the dressing table, and put the others in Tao Yiyu's warehouse.

The headgear Mingyi wore today was mainly pink, and it came in the same batch as the emerald green one. These two sets were the most eye-catching and of the best quality in the same batch.

Chunhong showed a look of panic on her face.

Mingyi saw it but didn't take it back. "Just take it if I tell you to. Go back and give it to your future sister-in-law."

"But..." How could a family like them wear such a fine head ornament?

Seeing her hesitation and embarrassment, Mingyi looked at the headgear again and suddenly understood something.

"Then divide this set of headwear among you! Chunmei, go to my dressing table and get another set. Bring me the headwear I wore before. You want the one that's made of pure gold."

It is not convenient for them to take jade headpieces out, and they hide them in their hands. If they sell them, they may not sell as well as gold and silver jewelry. After all, they are in a different class and meet different people. Good jade is basically monopolized by aristocratic families. If they sell them without permission, they may attract others' attention.

"Thank you for your consideration, young lady."

Chunmei thanked him happily, but then she realized she had thanked him too early, "My dear, your head ornaments are too expensive."

They may not be able to keep it even if they hold it in their hands.

"It's okay. The four of you can decide what you like and discuss it among yourselves." To prevent them from thinking too much, Ming Yi said slowly, "You have served me well, so I will consider it as a reward for you. Do your duty well in the future."

Zeng Hong still wanted to refuse, but Chunxi also felt it was inappropriate.

Chunliu was very tempted. This set of headwear was priceless. Even if they didn't buy the whole set, their dowry in the future would be very generous.

"Just think of it as a dowry for you. In the future, when you three get married, except for Chunmei, I may not be there, and I may not know about it. Just think of it as a dowry for you in advance. You can't refuse it anymore."

The three of them were at a loss for words to refuse for a moment.

She had too many jewels and head ornaments. She had originally come to Fucheng with very little luggage, but within just a few months, the amount of jewels she had increased dramatically.

Even if you had nine heads you wouldn’t be able to take care of them all.

"Yes, thank you very much for the reward, young lady." Chunmei thanked happily.

Because she knew that the young lady had ordered her to take out the jewelry and had no intention of putting it back.

Chunmei was very happy, "My dear, I like those earrings. Can you sisters give them to me?"

The three of them saw Chunxi's calmness and expressed their gratitude.

It's not a complete set of head ornaments, so its value is relatively low. It's just right for them to keep it as a family heirloom.

"Chunmei likes earrings, but I like the accessories on the head." Chunliu spoke quickly.

Chunxi looked at the whole set of jewelry with a smile. The pillowcase jewelry consisted of hair accessories, earrings, forehead ornaments, and necklaces. The earrings and hair accessories had already been selected, and she asked with a sidelong glance.

"Chunhong, do you like a necklace or a forehead ornament?"

Chunhong understood Chunxi's modesty, and out of a desire to return a favor, she said, "Chunxi, you choose first, and the remaining one will be mine. The young lady's jewelry is really valuable, and we have never owned such luxurious jewelry. No matter which one it is, it is the best for us."
