When Lu Zhaoling saw these purses, she remembered that these were the gifts that Lu Xiaokelian had prepared for the Lu family.

Poor little Lu actually knew that she was not welcome after returning to the Lu family in Beijing. She also knew that there was a reason why she was abandoned in the countryside for ten years, but she was alone and weak, so she just wanted to get along well with them temporarily.

Wait until I have a stable foothold in the capital, and then slowly investigate what happened.

So, she prepared gifts for everyone in the Lu family.

But she had been treated like a slave in the countryside and suffered a lot, so naturally she couldn't prepare any good gifts.

The small purse was made from scraps of cloth she had saved for a long time, and it contained silk flowers she had made herself. There were also three other purses that contained a few stones.

It was a very beautiful stone that she picked up from the river in the back mountain. She wanted to give it to the three young masters of the Lu family.

However, now that the thing is in Lu Zhaoling's hands, it is naturally impossible to give it away.

They don't deserve these favors.

Lu Zhaoling poured the small stones onto the table, and her eyes were immediately attracted by two dark green pebbles.

These two small pebbles actually contain vitality.

What is the function of this vitality?

Simply put, if placed in a fish tank, the fish will not die from lack of oxygen, and if placed at the roots of green plants, the green plants will grow well!

And now she is in urgent need of vitality, which will help her recover her cultivation as soon as possible.

Lu Zhaoling didn't expect to have such a gain.

She remembered something.

A few years ago, poor Lu Xiaoke dug a hole by the river in the back mountain and buried the pendant because the people from the old Lu family wanted to steal her pendant.

This time she was suddenly brought back to Beijing, and she was worried that she would not be able to deal with the Lu family, so she did not dig out the pendant and kept it hidden there.

It seems that after she gets better, she will have to go back to the countryside and get the pendant back.

She remembered that it was left to her by her biological mother.

“Miss, the Lu family is going too far.”

Qingbao came back and complained to her angrily.

"Yesterday I clearly told the kitchen staff that the young lady was injured and needed to eat light and nourishing food, but the breakfast they gave her today was this!"

She brought over a tray with a small dish of pickled vegetables on it. They looked bright red, so they must be very spicy. There was also a steamed bun the size of a small fist. The bun looked yellow, so it must have been made with low-quality flour.

Lu Zhaoling picked it up and squeezed it. It was very hard, probably left overnight.

"Where's your breakfast?" she asked, and then threw the steamed bun back on the plate.

Qingbao felt a little aggrieved.

"Qingyin and I will each have a steamed bun."

There's still a plate of pickles missing.

This is obviously an attempt to bully the young lady!

Qingyin brought warm water over and sighed, "Miss, I just asked the butler for fine salt for you to wash, and he gave me a small bottle of this."

She handed over a small bamboo tube filled with yellow salt grains.

The royal palace would use willow twigs with fine bristles dipped in fine salt for brushing teeth. Ordinary families in the capital did the same, but the quality of the materials used was slightly different. Yellow salt grains like this were only used by people from poor families.

It is obvious that the Lu family wants to disgust Lu Zhaoling with these things.

"Mrs. Lu said that Lord Lu is an honest official, and it is not easy for the mansion to support so many people. He chooses the most cost-effective things and is frugal in food and clothing. She asked Miss not to be angry."

Thinking of the smug and provocative look on Mrs. Lu's face when she said those words just now, Qingyin felt her teeth itching.

Lu Zhaoling stood up and asked Qingbao, "Can you weave a bracelet? Help me put it on."

Qingbao is really good at it.

"The servant took the stone and drilled a hole."

There is no way to thread the rope without drilling holes. But these two small stones are so beautiful, like jade.

Lu Zhaoling casually took off a silver hairpin from Qingbao's hair and poked the small stone with the tip of the hairpin.

Porphyrin.

With one hand, he poked a tiny hole through the stone.

Qingbao and Qingyin widened their eyes in shock.

No, the young lady doesn't seem to have any martial arts skills? Neither of them can do this!

"I'll go and weave the rope right away." Qingbao hurried to find colorful ropes.

Lu Zhaoling washed up and took another look at the steamed bun.

"Miss, how about I go and tell the prince?" Qingyin said. The prince will definitely stand up for you.

Lu Zhaoling shook his head. "No, help me go out for a walk. I'll go pick up the silver."

Picking up silver?

Qingyin was puzzled.

But he still obediently helped Lu Zhaoling out of the room.

Poor little Lu didn't have a penny. She couldn't always ask King Jin to take the lead for her. Now she had a head injury and her spirit was not stable. She would not fight with Madam Lu for the time being, but -

The Lu family will have to spend a lot of money for a few days.

Lu Zhaoling has always had excellent fortunes. In addition, she can also calculate fortunes, especially those that have been lost.

The weather is nice today.

After leaving the room, Lu Zhaoling stood in the yard and looked around.

Although the courtyard of Tingnuanlou is small, it is full of flowers and plants and is very beautiful. It is said that when the women of the Lu family hold banquets for the ladies, they almost always hold them in Tingnuanlou.

Lu Zhaoyun and Lu Zhaoyue often invite their sisters here to chat, drink tea and appreciate the flowers.

Qingyin supported Lu Zhaoling, not knowing what she was going to do.

After a moment, Lu Zhaoling pointed in a direction and said to her, "Go move those two ornamental stones and take out the things inside."

"Ah?" Qingyin was stunned for a moment, "Yes."

Lu Zhaoling was pointing at two stones next to a cluster of purple chrysanthemums. The stones were not very big, but an average little girl probably couldn't move them. There was a crack between the two stones, and the edges were covered with moss, so they must have been placed here for quite a long time.

Qingyin didn't know what was here, but she still obediently moved the two stones.

As the stone was moved away, an earring was revealed that was originally sandwiched between the cracks.

Qingyin picked it up in surprise.

This is a red gold earring, and it's quite heavy! She weighed it, looked at the style carefully, ran back quickly, and handed the earring to Lu Zhaoling.

"Miss, I saw this earring in Mingbao Tower in the capital. A pair sold for fifty taels of silver at that time. This one should be worth twenty-five taels of silver."

Of course, this has a price.

If it is squeezed into a gold lump, it will be less, but if converted into silver it should be able to be exchanged for twenty taels.

"Well, keep it and exchange it for silver."

Qingyin was a little excited, "Miss, how did you know there was gold there?"

Twenty taels was nothing for her who had stayed in the palace for ten years, but she found it very novel in this way!

"There is a little fortune there," said Lu Zhaoling.

Wealth?

Although Qingyin didn't quite understand, she didn't ask again because Lu Zhaoling pointed in another direction.

"Dig under that tree."

Qingyin didn't hesitate at all this time and immediately ran over to dig the soil.

After a while, she dug out a small silver box from the soil. It was only the size of a palm and a little flat.

"Open the box violently." Lu Zhaoling said.
