Young Master, my wife brought the memories of her past life and was reborn to save the house.
Chapter 85 Birthday Gift
"Wan'er, come quickly and take a look at the birthday gift that my mother has prepared for the Queen Mother." Mrs. Zhou pointed to three boxes of luminous pearls.
The luminous pearl on the far right is the largest and fills up the box.
The luminous pearl in the middle is the size of a fist, and there are eight in total.
The box on the far left contains the smallest luminous pearls, which can be used to store pink headdresses, hairpins, or make bracelets.
Putting these luminous pearls in the palace of Queen Mother Liu would be enough to illuminate a bedroom.
When the Yan State attacked the Shang Dynasty, the entire Jiang family was annihilated by traitors, and there was no one to guard the south. Ten cities in a row were captured in the southern territory, and morale was severely damaged.
Emperor Jinglong was too scared to fight anymore, so he ceded land to pay compensation.
Among the things to be compensated was the Night Pearl given by Zhou to the Queen Mother.
Now, without batting an eye, her mother-in-law was preparing to give these valuable things to the Queen Mother to play with.
But, we can’t be so wasteful anymore!
"How is it? Do you like it? Mom left a few luminous pearls for you. These luminous pearls were brought back by your second uncle from the South China Sea. Mom plans to give them to the Queen Mother for her birthday..."
"Crack!" A sound.
Shen Wan closed the box heavily.
Zhou was startled and the account book in her hand fell to the ground.
The house manager was even more stunned on the spot.
Xie Yujin coughed a few times, asked the room manager to go out and guard the yard, and then closed the door of Zhou's room.
Zhou's heart trembled slightly when she saw the two men behaving strangely.
She forgot that her daughter-in-law was now in charge of the accounts, and she had to ask her first about all matters at home.
"Wan'er, there are still five days left for the Queen Mother's birthday. I was afraid that your boss would be too tired, so I didn't say hello to you in advance. What do you think of these things as a gift to the Queen Mother for her 60th birthday?"
The Queen Mother's sixtieth birthday was a great occasion for the Emperor to pay great attention to.
The aristocratic families also attached great importance to this birthday gift. After much thought, she chose the Night Pearl.
After all, luminous pearls are rare.
Xie Yujin sighed: "Mother, you can prepare birthday gifts for the Queen Mother's birthday, but you can't prepare it like you are doing now. To get a night-light pearl for a family, it would take all the efforts of the entire family and all the wealth of the family to get a small rare one." Pin, you said you gave three boxes to the Queen Mother as soon as you made a move, aren't you telling the Emperor that we are as rich as the country?"
Zhou's face changed drastically. She didn't think too much, but after Xie Yujin's reminder, she realized that her thinking was wrong.
She was always afraid of slighting the Queen Mother's birthday gift, causing her displeasure, and causing the Queen Mother to target the Zhenguo Palace.
But on the other hand, it seems that the Zhenguo government is too rich, which is also a bad thing.
With trembling fingers, she picked up the bill on the ground. The number of night pearls was written on the bill.
Others had to work hard to get just one luminous pearl, but she had hundreds of them, which were priceless.
"Then..." Mrs. Zhou thought for a while, and took out the smallest one from the smallest box: "Is it okay to give such a small one?"
"Spending a family's wealth to get a night-light pearl shows that the town government attaches great importance to the Queen Mother's birthday. It's enough to only give one." Shen Wan calmed Zhou's emotions in a gentle voice.
It's not that Ms. Zhou has no brains, it's just that she has been protected too well in the past years.
She is the only daughter in the Zhou family, and there are several brothers who dote on her. She does not need to compete with many sisters to get all the resources.
After marrying into the Zhen Guo Duke's house, there was no mother-in-law to pressure her, and there were no worries about the back house. The Zhen Guo Duke gave her all his love.
It is understandable that she is content with the status quo and enjoys her current life state.
Even if there was a rain of swords, guns, and swords, Duke Zhen Guo and Xie Yujin would block it for her.
However, she should understand what kind of turmoil the Zhenguo Palace is in now...
