After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy
Chapter 48 Returning Things
Qing'er checked the list again and found that some things were missing.
Before Qing'er could speak, Xu Rong curled her lips and said, "I also have a mutton-fat jade bracelet and a pair of jasper earrings. I don't know where I took them. I'll give them to you next time I find them."
Jiang Xiyu didn't buy her trick at all. She closed the box and said with a half-smile, "In that case, I'll lend you the necklace after you find these two things."
After saying that, he motioned Qing'er to take the box back to its original place. Xu Rong looked at Qing'er's back and felt that the duck in her hand was about to fly away, and her face changed drastically.
You have to know that Jiang Xiyu would never let her take back the things she had given her. Xu Rong was very unwilling. She reached out her hand from her sleeve, took off the mutton-fat jade bracelet, and threw it directly into the box.
Jiang Xiyu's eyes turned cold, "Sister, please be careful. This mutton-fat jade bracelet of mine is very expensive. If you accidentally break it, you can't afford the tens of thousands of taels of silver to pay for it."
Jiang Xiyu's words completely controlled Xu Rong. She could only indignantly place the mutton-fat jade bracelet gently on the table, then turned back and pulled off the pair of jasper earrings from Yuntun's ears and placed them on the table as well. "This should be fine, right?"
She liked this mutton-fat jade bracelet very much and originally wanted to take one or two less, perhaps Jiang Xiyu wouldn't mind. But who knew that she was so shrewd and refused to take anything less. Even a worthless thing like the jade earrings, which she only used to reward the maids, she wanted to take back. She was really petty.
After seeing Xu Rong return all the things, Jiang Xiyu was too lazy to pursue the matter of her lying just now.
"Since I see your sincerity, I will "lend" this necklace to my sister. After the flower viewing banquet, I hope she can return it on time."
Qing'er put the box on the table again. Looking at the box, Xu Rong couldn't help but imagine that all the focus would be on her tomorrow, and she would be noticed by Gu Wei and be directly named a concubine.
Qing'er felt disgusted when she saw her lustful look. Jiang Xiyu just sipped her tea slowly and pretended not to see it.
After coming to her senses, Xu Rong picked up the box directly, held it carefully in her arms, and said, "Mother is also in need of a new outfit. His Majesty and the Empress will be here tomorrow, and my sister-in-law doesn't want us to lose face in our house and say that you are a bad housekeeper."
"Sister is right." Jiang Xiyu nodded and said to Qing'er beside her, "Qing'er, go to the second box and take out the green box for the fifth lady."
Qing'er looked indignant, but still turned around to take it and put the box in front of Xu Rong.
Xu Rong couldn't wait to open the box, and was once again amazed by the transparent green beads inside.
This is an emerald bead necklace made of such fine material. It is the first time she has seen it. She didn't expect that Jiang Xiyu would have such a fine thing and actually kept it privately without taking it out before. Xu Rong was very unhappy.
Jiang Xiyu pretended not to see the jealousy in her eyes and said with a smile, "When mother wears this necklace, she won't lose face for the old lady of the Yonglin Marquis's Mansion."
Xu Rong nodded. There were only a handful of beads of this quality in the whole of Kyoto. How could she possibly lose face?
If this became her dowry, she would definitely be the most glamorous bride in the whole of Kyoto.
"Sister-in-law is still filial."
Xu Rong put away her thoughts and picked up the box impatiently.
"Pah!" Before Xu Rong could even touch the box, Jiang Xiyu suddenly closed it. Facing Xu Rong's puzzled expression, she explained calmly, "From now on, no matter who it is, if they want to borrow anything from me again, they must follow my requirements. They must return everything they borrowed before, without missing a single thing. Only then will I lend it to them, and this includes my mother."
Xu Rong was stunned. She had thought Jiang Xiyu was only treating her like this, but it turned out that he treated everyone equally. Xu Rong's aggrieved mood suddenly improved a lot. She smiled and said, "I'll go talk to mother. You wait."
After saying that, she took her five-colored crystal necklace and left.
As soon as she left, Jiang Xiyu opened the box that Xu Rong brought over and checked it carefully again. After confirming that everything was complete and not damaged, Jiang Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Put these things away and prepare an empty cage. There will be more things sent back soon."
"Slave, go right away."
She didn't expect to get the things back so quickly. Qing'er went to prepare with a happy face.
Soon, Xu Rong brought over two large boxes, followed by Hu and Sun.
"Sister-in-law." As soon as she entered the room, Xu Rong placed the two large boxes she brought with her on the table. "These are the things Mother borrowed from you. Two of them were given as gifts by Mother, and I converted them into silver and put them all in this box. Please count them."
Jiang Xiyu nodded and asked Qing'er to verify and check.
The Xu family borrowed the most things from Jiang Xiyu, followed by Xu Rong. Of course, the second and third rooms also borrowed a lot.
After comparing them one by one, Qing'er found that the situation was the same as what Xu Rong said.
Jiang Xiyu took a quick look and found that the three missing items were not very precious. Since Zheng had compensated them with silver, Jiang Xiyu did not pursue the matter.
Jiang Xiyu handed the box containing the beads to Xu Rong and said, "I'm lending this set of beads to my mother for now. Please return it to me after the flower viewing banquet."
Xu Rong seemed not to understand what Jiang Xiyu said. She opened the box directly. After confirming that it was a string of emerald green beads, she excitedly picked up the box, as if she was afraid that someone else would snatch it away.
Hu and Sun had also seen the five-colored crystal necklace at Zheng's place, and when they saw this top-quality transparent green bead string, their eyes were full of brilliance.
"Sister-in-law, these are the things you lent us before, and we brought them all with us." Mrs. Hu was the first to put her box on the table.
Sun Ye said excitedly, "Sister-in-law, can we borrow some decent clothes? You know that His Majesty and His Majesty will be back for the flower viewing banquet tomorrow, and we can't afford to lose face for the Marquisate."
"Okay." Everything was within Jiang Xiyu's expectations. She smiled at Hu and Sun, and asked Qing'er to check the list.
Qing'er compared them one by one and saw that both of them had the same things, so she nodded to Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu then stood up and took out two boxes from the cage, placing them in front of Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Sun respectively. "I have prepared them for you two sisters-in-law a long time ago. Take a look and see if you like them."
The string of South China Sea pearls that Jiang Xiyu gave to Mrs. Hu was not as precious as the five-color crystal necklace, but this huge South China Sea pearl was definitely at the tribute level, enough to open the eyes of Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Sun.
What was prepared for Sun was a blood jade bracelet of perfect quality, which might not be found anywhere else in the entire Kyoto city.
