Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

Chapter 154 Choosing one of two sons is a difficult problem!
Manager Min joked with him, "Did you dream about going somewhere to make a fortune last night? Why didn't you get up until now?"

Tai Jiye smiled bitterly and responded, "Brother Min, forget about others, don't you still know why I can't sleep?"

Manager Min nodded and responded, "Don't worry, that's why I'm here today. Our master's family has a caravan that will enter the grassland soon. When I sent the seeds back last night, the master and his wife were very happy. When I mentioned that I wanted to add a few more cars to the caravan, they all agreed.

"If you are not afraid of danger and hardship, be prepared. Tea and candied fruits are not easy to sell here, but they will definitely be robbed in the grasslands!"

Into the grassland?
Tai Jiye jumped up and went crazy with joy.

"Seriously? Seriously!" He rushed directly to Manager Min and kept saying, "I just want to buy cashmere. When I enter the grassland, it will definitely be more cost-effective to exchange tea and candied fruits for cashmere."

Mr. Tai glared at his son and scolded, "Go back and sit down! You don't look good!"

Tai Jiye giggled and quickly retreated, not daring to offend his father.

Mr. Tai and Manager Min handed over their hands to apologize, "Manager Min, don't be like this kid. He only has age but no ability! He has been filled with dreams of getting rich since he was a child. He wants to eat a fat man in one bite!"

Manager Min waved his hand and said to the old man, "Uncle Tai, don't be polite. Jiye is a good material for doing business. Maybe he will be really prosperous in the future and I will have to take care of him.

"However, it is indeed dangerous to enter the grassland. Uncle and Jiye should discuss more about whether to go or not. Give me news tomorrow so that I can make arrangements."

Mr. Tai nodded, "Okay, no matter whether I go or not, thank you for your help. Our family doesn't know much about these things, so we can't help Jiye, but it's thanks to you for taking the trouble."

Manager Min asked the boy to carry the box forward again, "Here is the return gift prepared by our wife herself. In addition..."

He took out an invitation from his sleeve and handed it to the old man.

"This is an invitation from our wife. I will arrange a carriage to pick you up when the time comes."

The old man opened it, took a look, and gave it directly to his daughter-in-law.

Yang Lihua was surprised, and after looking at it carefully, she felt relieved and said with a smile, "Okay, Manager Min, I will definitely take Zhuzhu to congratulate you when the time comes!"

Everyone chatted a few more gossips, and Manager Min left thinking about the shop and trivial matters.

The young and old of the Tai family took him to the entrance of the village and did not return until the carriage disappeared.

Tai Jiye was curious and asked, "Sister-in-law, what did the post say?"

"It's Mrs. Min's birthday banquet in three days. Let me take Zhuzhu to the banquet." Yang Lihua didn't hide anything. After speaking, she added, "Lao San, I may want the pair of round fans you brought back from the south." I borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha as a birthday gift."

Tai Jiye didn't care and immediately responded, "I bought it for my sister-in-law. She can arrange it whatever she wants. Next time I go to the south and buy more for my sister-in-law."

Yang Lihua smiled, and when she saw Liu Dongniang also entered the house, she opened the box to check the Min family's return gift.

Mrs. Min really paid attention to it. Inside the box was a set of 88 pieces of dishes and porcelain, a set of high-quality four treasures of the study, and a set of silver jewelry, including bracelets, necklaces and hairpins. Finally, there was a pair of agate carved Ruyi. The bright red color is very festive.

The family gathered together to watch, especially the pair of Ruyi, who really caught the eye.

Mr. Tai smiled and said, "Keep this if you wish. In the future, our Yong'an family will marry a wife and put it in the betrothal gift."

Yang Lihua nodded, rarely showing any preference for her daughter.

The son is older and he is the grandson of Tai's family. When he is hired, he must have something good to support his appearance.

And my daughter is still young, so she will have time to save good things in the future.

The most important thing is that the color of agate is good, but it is not as valuable as gold and jade.Of course you have to prepare the best for your daughter!

That set of four treasures of the study was given to Tai Yongning, and he was so happy that he didn't dare to touch it, for fear of getting it dirty.Yang Lihua looked at the porcelain, then looked at the silver jewelry, and said, "Mrs. Min was afraid that I would go to the banquet without suitable jewelry, so she specially prepared this set. It looks exquisite and low-key, just in line with our family's identity."

Everyone nodded, and the old man said, "In that case, wear one or two on the day of the banquet, so as not to let down others' good intentions."

Yang Lihua thought for a while, then picked a hairpin and a pair of twisted silver bracelets, and gave the rest to her sister-in-law.

Liu Dongniang was frightened and waved her hands again and again, "Sister-in-law, I don't need these things at home, I don't want them!"

Yang Lihua didn't allow her to refuse, so she simply gave her the box.

"Just take it for you. You won't need it this time. You will have to go out in the future. Besides, Yong Yue will grow up soon. When the time comes to see your daughter-in-law, you have to give her some gifts."

After hearing this, Liu Dongniang accepted it hesitantly.

The old man looked happy, got up, hugged his little granddaughter and went out for a walk.

If you put it in other people's homes, you might break your head trying to grab the jewelry, but my daughter-in-law gets along well, so she would give in.

They are all sensible children, and they are also a blessing to the Tai family!

Tai Jiye hadn't waited for his father to express his opinion on whether he would be allowed to enter the grassland.

So, he followed his father step by step, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.

Until the old man arrived at Mr. Tai's house, he sat down and discussed with Mr. Tai.

"Third brother, Jiye will go to the grassland in a few days to exchange tea leaves and candied fruits for cashmere. I don't trust him to leave this business to himself. Do you think you can find some reliable people in the village to go with him? ?”

Tai Jiye shouted happily, "Uncle San, I need to pull five or six carts of goods, and I need at least ten people to follow the cart."

Mr. Tai glared at his son, then turned to his elder brother, "The food and accommodation for these ten people on the road will be considered as our family's, and we will pay fifty cash for an extra day. Of course, you must take risks when entering the grassland. If you are injured or have an accident, Our family will not ignore it."

Before Third Master Tai could respond, He Hua rushed in from outside, shouting loudly, "Dad, let Ji Cai go, he is very strong!"

Even Tai Jisheng's wife was standing at the door. Although she didn't speak, she had the same idea...

Mr. Tai was holding the pipe of his pipe and had already begun to have a headache.

He certainly couldn't let both of his sons go into the grassland, but who to let go was a difficult problem.

If it doesn’t happen, the family will be in a state of chaos, brothers will be separated, and sisters-in-law will quarrel...

Not to mention how Mr. Tai was in trouble and how the village selected its personnel, it was just that Yang Lihua "occupied" her daughter's backyard by leaving the chores at home to her sister-in-law.

The round fan brought back by Tai Jiye has a green bamboo handle but a light ivory surface. It is a bit simple to use as a birthday gift.

She planned to embroider some patterns on the fan, try to be as elegant and detailed as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to take out.

Liu Dongniang is not good at needlework, but fortunately Chunhong is ready to start.

The master and servant worked hard for three days apart from eating and sleeping, and finally embroidered the round fan on the first day of the banquet.

They got up early the next day. Mother and daughter were dressed up, even Chunhong had changed into [-]% new clothes, and then they got into the city on the carriage specially sent by Manager Min...
