Chapter 65: Two Thank-You Gifts
On this day, people from the Anguo Mansion and the Jin Wang Mansion handed in visiting cards to the Jiang family as agreed, making it quite formal.
Old Man Jiang still felt a little puzzled. He didn't know when his family became related to this wealthy family.
It was only after Jiang Qingyi explained it to them that they finally understood what was going on.
Two days later in the morning, two carriages stopped in front of the Jiang family's door.
The people who came were the steward of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion and the nanny of the Prince of Jin's Mansion, and they were followed by people.
Jiang Qingyi asked Old Man Jiang and Old Lady Jiang to receive them together.
People on both sides were very well-mannered and did not look down on the Jiang family just because they were commoners.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they finally left after leaving a thank-you gift to Jiang Qingyi.
After the people left, Old Lady Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, "As expected of someone from a wealthy family, even the servants look different from us."
"That's right. I feel tired just talking to them." Old man Jiang also slumped in his chair.
Jiang Qingyi's eyes were fixed on the thank-you gifts sent by the two families, each of which contained a box and exquisite cloth.
The box given by the Anguo Mansion contained writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as a few jade ornaments that looked very valuable, a jar of good wine, a box of jewelry, and a silver note worth five hundred taels.
The box given by Prince Jin's Mansion also contained a small box containing jewelry suitable for the little girl, a set of exquisite tea sets, some fruits, cakes and silver bills.
Jiang Qingyi guessed that the two families had discussed this before coming here, and the thank-you gifts they gave were similar.
There aren't many things, but they are all very valuable.
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at the exquisite things in the two boxes and patted her chest. "Oh my goodness, these things don't look cheap. Xiaowu, what are you going to do with them?"
Jiang Qingyi wanted to return it, but the valuable gifts sent by these two families were probably meant to buy off the favor and they did not intend to continue the relationship.
If she didn't accept it, people would probably suspect that their family was trying to get close to her, so it was better for her to leave the thing behind.
"Stay here, Grandpa and Grandma. Do you like any of these ornaments? Take them and put them in your room to make them look nice."
Old Man Jiang waved his hands repeatedly, "Forget it, forget it. This thing can't be eaten. It would be painful if it was broken. Just keep it for yourself."
Jiang Qingyi turned her gaze to Old Lady Jiang again.
"Don't look at me. I don't want it either. It's useless."
Jiang Qingyi asked persistently, "What about these jewellery?"
"Those are little girls' jewelry, keep them for yourself."
Jiang Qingyi sighed, "What about the fruits, cakes, and fabrics?"
"You can eat the fruits and cakes, but these pieces of cloth are really good. You should keep them for yourself and make clothes for you in a few years. It would be a waste if you use them now."
Old Man Jiang took the jar of wine, saying that he wanted to keep it for himself to drink slowly.
Jiang Qingyi liked the tea set very much. She planned to keep it, so she didn't ask.
Jiang Qingyi took out all the edible things and waved her hand to put all the remaining things into the space.
The two old men's eyelids jumped, and they looked at Jiang Qingyi with disapproval, "Xiaowu, you should at least stay away from people and don't show off your magical powers in front of others."
Jiang Qingyi smiled mischievously, "I know, but grandpa and grandma are not outsiders, it's okay."
Only the three of them knew what the thank-you gifts were. The others only received cakes and knew nothing else.
Old Lady Jiang held Jiang Qingyi in her arms and said, "Xiaowu, your mother is a short-sighted person. Don't tell her if you have any good things. Keep them for yourself."
"I know."
"Okay, go play by yourself."
As soon as Jiang Qingyi returned to her room, Zhao came over. She was sitting on a chair eating melon seeds. When she saw Zhao come in, she called out, "Mom."
Zhao sat down casually, "What are those people doing here?"
"We saved someone outside before, and they came to send a gift of thanks." Jiang Qingyi answered perfunctorily.
"Where's the stuff?"
"I put it away. What's the matter? Do you want it too, Mom?"
Jiang Qingyi spoke out Zhao's intention. She looked unhappy. She wanted it originally, but she wanted to save face, so she couldn't take it. She was silent for a long time before she said,
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? I still miss your things. I just want to see what the rich families give me, just to broaden my horizons."
"Just those things, paper, pens, tea sets, cakes, fabrics and so on."
When Zhao heard that these were things she couldn't use, she stopped thinking about them.
In the afternoon, Jiang Qingyi went out after the system issued the task. She planned to buy some things and put them in the space.
Although it is a more difficult task than before, it only takes a little more time and effort, so it is not too difficult for Jiang Qingyi.
There are three tasks today. The first is to collect leaves from three areas of the capital, the second is to find stones in three areas, and the last one is to spend ten taels of silver.
Jiang Qingyi went to the East District first, as there was a good place to buy things there. She went to a carpenter's shop to order furniture for five rooms, including beds, tables, chairs, benches, cabinets, etc. She spent fifty taels of silver at once, and completed one task.
She also bought tools that could be used in daily life, as well as various types of pots and pans that could be used in the kitchen. Life was too monotonous, so she decided to develop cooking into her hobby.
The other two tasks can be performed simultaneously.
She moved, strolled around the East District and then went to the North District. She planned to buy some books to take home to kill time and learn about the customs and culture of this world.
The trip took more than three hours, and she went back only after completing the task.
The three tasks rewarded three farming robots. As for the other types, Jiang Qingyi planned to take it slow.
Time flies and it is August. Jiang Qingyi's birthday is July 17th. Now she is already eight years old.
Over the past few months, Jiang Qingyi has gradually reduced the amount of pomegranate seeds she consumes, and her skin color has gradually returned to its original color.
After taking a bath that day, she did not eat any pomegranate seeds. She looked fair and rosy, and her skin was even better than Xiaojie's.
Jiang Qingyi changed into a light green dress. When Wang saw her, she couldn't help but praise her, "Our little Wu is so pretty. She is definitely a beauty."
Chen responded from the side, "It must be the water in the capital that nourishes people. Our Xiaowu has such a white and tender face, it is so beautiful."
Jiang Qingyi accepted their compliments graciously and complimented them back.
Wang and Chen were both so praised that they smiled happily and were in a very good mood.
Because Zhao was pregnant with twins and was getting older, she had difficulty moving and basically lay in bed in the house all day.
After being so naughty for several months, Jiang Qingyi's attitude towards her became much colder, and she was just being nice to her on the surface.
Zhao didn't look for the problem in herself, but instead felt that the Jiang family had let her down, but no one else was too lazy to pay attention.
