After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 714: Too Offensive

Because he was running out 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 belonged to him.

Perhaps because he didn't let the coachman disturb his sweet dream, his wife will reward him later.

At this moment, Liu Ji had completely forgotten his angry declaration yesterday about how he could not live with Qin Yao anymore because of a strand of hair.

Sikong saw this guy being too attentive for no reason, he must be a traitor or a thief!
Liu Ji tried to ask the driver questions in a roundabout way all the way, but unfortunately the driver was just an errand boy and he couldn't get anything out of him.

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

Of course, speaking of this, the coachman did not forget to hint to Liu Ji that he should remember to keep it secret for him when the time comes.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I, Liu Ji, am a man who honors my promises and will never betray you." Liu Ji patted the coachman's shoulder and said affectionately.

The driver secretly 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 standing outside the door, and when he saw this, he called out in surprise, "Master, you're awake. I'll go heat up your breakfast."

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

Yin Le slapped his head and said, "I was so busy standing at attention that I forgot about it. This was delivered by the coachman from the Imperial Master's Mansion this morning. He said it was a gift from his master to you, Master."

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, "Just give it to me? There's no point in saying that?"

Yin Le shook his head, it seemed like there really wasn’t any.

Qin Yao waved her hand, signaling her to go on with her work.

I squatted down and looked at the beautifully packaged gift boxes. There were eight boxes in total, big and small. I picked up the palm-sized small box on the top and shook it, but I didn't hear any sound, so the items inside must have been secured.

With the idea of ​​not wasting money, Qin Yao brought a small stool and sat at the door, basking in the rare sunshine while opening the gift box.

There are probably few people in this world who don’t like to open gifts, especially those that are packaged like this. They often look forward to surprises.

However, two thumb-sized golden mandarin ducks were found in the first small box, a pair of concentric silver locks were found in the second box, and twelve silk flowers, a papaya, and some rouge and powder were found in the third box.
"What the hell is this!" Qin Yao speechlessly put down the last long peach branch she had taken out, feeling that she had been fooled.

To be honest, she was very disappointed with these gifts!

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

When Yin Le brought breakfast, she saw the objects all over the floor. She had not expected this, so she did not feel disappointed, but she just felt something was strange.

"Master, are these the gifts sent by the National Master?" 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, papayas and other things on the ground, looked at them 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 gifts for just anyone. And those silk flowers and love locks, the more I look at them, the more they look like gifts for someone you love."

After hearing the word "sweetheart", Yin Le finally understood what was wrong. A dignified imperial master giving these ambiguous objects to a married man was like giving him a token of love. Wouldn't this lead to misunderstanding?

How offensive!
Yin Le looked up at his master's expression and saw that it had indeed darkened.

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

After saying this, he took away the pair of pure gold mandarin ducks, got up and went into the house to have breakfast.

Yin Le looked at the box of beautiful silk flowers and the love lock and asked hesitantly, "Will you burn this too?"

Qin Yao drank the meat porridge and said casually: "If you like it, you can do with it."

Yin Le immediately bowed with joy, "Thank you, Master!"

She collected all the items except the papayas and peach branches, planning to sell them to Aunt Yu, Zhang Guizhi and others at a stall later.

The pair of love locks were beautifully made, and the silk flowers were made of the finest silk material, looking very unique. And the rouge and powder all looked like good products and would definitely sell well.

Yin Le did it right away. He first threw the peach branches and papaya into the stove, then found a tablecloth to cover a small low table, and went out with the gifts on the low table.

There is an old elm tree at the entrance of the alley, and under the tree is a fruit stall. The young wives and old ladies in Kuanzhengfang like to come here to join in the fun, and if they are lucky, they can even get a good-looking fruit to eat.

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

I spent most of the rest of the time making clothes, embroidering and gossiping with Aunt Yu and her group.

Qin Yao heard everything about her neighbors from Yin Le. No one in the family knew better than Yin Le what was happening in each family.

Just then, seeing Yin Le coming over with a low table and a bag of something, Aunt Yu and the other ladies who were taking a break after chatting about gossip immediately stared at him with sharp eyes.

"A Le, what's that 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 laid out the things in the bag one by one.

As she put them on display, she said, "I was cleaning up the storeroom at home today and found these things. You know my master, it's hard to dress up, so he gave them all to me. I thought I wouldn't be able to use so many by myself, so I took them out to share with my sisters."

"Everything is brand new. If you like any of them, just give me some coins as a token of appreciation. Just think of it as clearing out my warehouse."

All the things had been laid out, and the sight of the exquisitely crafted, brightly colored silk flowers moved Zhang Guizhi and the others.

It’s really a good thing. I’m afraid it’s hard to buy such silk flowers outside.

And those rouge and powder were all from Taohuafang, the largest rouge shop in Beijing. They were fine-grained, evenly colored, and specially scented. They were all good things that they envied but couldn'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, but I didn't expect your master to have one too. They are still new, but you don't want them?"

Yin Le quoted Zhang Guizhi the price of the silk flowers, 200 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 this opportunity forever!"

"I feel so embarrassed." Although she said she was sorry, the old lady held the silver lock tightly in her hand and ran home vigorously to get the silver for Yin Le.

Soon, all the items were sold out - after all, there were only a few of them.
