The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 429

"It's not hard work. It's okay for me to take a trip to help people to the end. I'm also happy to find a good home for Sister Man. It's just that I don't have much experience. I can only listen to what I hear and see. It is inaccurate to provide a grandfather reference."

After being modest, Shi Chuying asked again: "Is this something that the Meng family wanted first?"

"... Beijing didn't know about Sister Man's affairs until late. I just heard about coming to Meng's house, and my grandfather came here a few days ago. He met Mr. Meng in Jianzhou, so he came up with this idea."

When Shi Chuying thought about going to see her before Chu Man left Beijing, she couldn't help saying: "I think that if Sister Man's body is able to conceive children, she will have to take care of her for a year or two..."

Chu Xu hugged his daughter-in-law, gently stroking her protruding belly, and said in a warm voice: "Don't worry, even if a family like us is a second marriage, it will take a year or two to look dignified from dating to marriage. There's no reason to rush."

Shi Chuying nodded, that's good.

Because the invitation from the Meng Mansion was nominally to invite Chu Xu and his wife to attend the full moon banquet of the grandson of Meng’s family, this full moon ceremony was unavoidable.

And because it was the first time to come to the door, many juniors who might meet also had a meeting gift, so Shi Chuying asked Li San's wife to open the warehouse, and while she went to choose the gifts herself, she asked Yuzhu to go to the old general's yard to inquire. The number of people in each room of the family, especially the old and young who need to give gifts, family traditions, and taboos on gift giving, etc.

When Yuzhu came back with a wet-stained list, Shi Chuying looked at it, okay, there are quite a few people in the Meng family, not to mention those of the same generation, the four houses are only under ten years old There are fifteen children!
"This is really a prosperous family!" It is estimated that Mr. Meng would have to spend a lot of money every year just to send out the New Year's money, Shi Chuying couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

Yu Zhu was used to seeing her for a long time, so she didn't understand Madam's meaning, so she just pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I have consulted with Grandpa Beidou, and Grandpa Beidou said that Meng's family style is gentle, the head of the family is easy-going, and the children are always prosperous. It’s inevitable that there will be more. It’s best to give gifts that are more affordable.”

As she said that, she still blinked her eyes, especially when she remembered the look on the old man Beidou's face when he said this, it was so funny.

"More affordable?" Shi Chuying looked at Yuzhu's expression, and suddenly realized, "Well, it's natural for children to spend money. We are big families from Beijing, so we can't be frugal."

Fortunately, she has always had a large number of gold and silver locks and complete sets of small bracelets, small collars, gold and silver trees, gold and silver coins, etc. that she has asked the steward to order a large number of her own drawings. There are also many types of silk flowers.

Shi Chuying walked around the warehouse and nodded with satisfaction.

This time even Li San's wife had to admire her wife's shrewdness.

If it weren't for the madam who bought it all the way, and asked to pack some of it before going out, how could there be such a handy gift now.

Shi Chuying pondered for a while, and ordered the maids and needleworkers to rush to make dozens of exquisite purses. Shi Chuying specially selected a few high-quality and very gorgeous brocade materials for use.There are three kinds of purses: gold brocade, silver brocade, and brocade flash satin.It is already such a gorgeous material, so the embroidery is naturally saved, and it is only sewn more delicately, and a few pearls are added, let alone perforated.

In Yuyu's words, just a purse is worth a few bucks.It's just that such a luxurious purse is available, but after all, it is not as full of heart as those embroidered with one stitch and one thread, and it is welcome to be used as a gift.

There are different amounts of gold and silver trees in the purse, Shi Chuying put the word 'affordable' into the gift, there is nothing more affordable than gold and silver, right?
In addition, she also prepared some high-quality pens, inks, paper and inkstones, new silk flowers in Beijing, gold collars for children, etc., and of course freshly picked fruits in the orchard.

Chu Xu and Shi Chuying belonged to the clan and had titles, Mr. Meng must come out to meet each other, but it is also necessary to offer a meeting gift as a junior.

Chu Xu crossed out the contents of Shi Chuying's dowry, such as 'Yunlu tea', from Shi Chuying's gift list, and said, "I remember that there were still a few catties of high-quality melon slices from Beijing a few days ago. The jars are here."
