Chapter 656: Sharing Gifts

"Hey, thank you so much." Qin Xiaomi, Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, and Aunt Qin personally saw Madam Guan off.

Qin Xiaomi also saw Guan Shuli deliberately lag behind by a few meters and whisper something to Qin Xiaogu.

Early the next morning, Old Madam Guan came and spent more than an hour checking the remaining gifts.

"You can use it with confidence. There is nothing illegal."

After hearing this, the Qin family all breathed a sigh of relief. While they were happy, they still felt that "it is indeed very glorious to receive a gift from a noble family, but this gift is not easy to accept."

trouble.

Madam Guan smiled and said, "It's okay. Come a few more times and you'll get used to it."

I'm also glad that I didn't explain my grandson's background in detail before the marriage proposal. If I had, the Qin family, who are afraid of trouble, would have been scared and refused the marriage!

"By the way, your family should make a copy of the gift list and take it to Silifang to give to Nong Ge'er, and ask him to make a record of it. It will also be considered as a report to the government. If something really happens in the future, it won't be possible to trace your family back to it." Old Madam Guan reminded.

Although there was nothing illegal, she was afraid that something related to the crime might get mixed in. Old Madam Guan had experienced this before, so she was very alert to this.

"Well, my family will do it today." Grandpa Qin responded and asked Grandma Qin to entertain Madam Guan well, while he took a few men out.

Not a moment later.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The gong sounded, and Captain Wen and his convoy were about to leave.

Guan Shuli, the four village heads, Xue Dongjia, Huang Yanglong, Yu Fushi, Hua Zongqi, and Qin Ye Ye went to see Wen Baihu off.

"It is thanks to Captain Lao Wen that we report to the Marquis that our families really like the gifts the Marquis sent. With these gifts, our families can gain a lot of face in the countryside. We are deeply grateful for this favor." Grandpa Qin said.

After hearing this, Captain Wen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Qin. I will pass on your message."

While Captain Wen was talking to everyone, the stewards of the Xue family took red envelopes containing silver bills and stuffed them into the stewards and servants of the Wenchang Marquis family one by one.

Captain Wen stuffed the red envelope into the steward of the Marquis's Mansion and asked him to pass it to him.

After saying goodbye, Captain Wen got on his horse and said, "Scribe Guan, Master Xue, and Master Huang, please stay. There's no need to see us off. We're leaving now."

But Mr. Xue is a businessman, how could he not go to send it off?

He took Huang Yanglong with him, sat in a horse-drawn carriage, and took him all the way to the county town, where he stayed for three days before returning.

After returning, Huang Yanglong was asked to go to the Qin family and tell them: "Let's go, take a group of people from the county government to the capital to meet Wenchang Hou so that Wenchang Hou can question them."

"Really gone?" Grandpa Qin couldn't believe it: "Just came here to give you a gift?"

Huang Yanglong frowned and nodded: "Yes, that's it."

This?

Grandpa Qin always felt: "It's not real."

Qin Xiaomi said, "Grandpa, since the people of Wenchang Hou's family have left, let's not think about it anymore. Your priority now is to quickly collect the grain tax from our village."

If the grain tax is not paid properly, no one can expect to have a good New Year.

Grandpa Qin thought for a while and couldn't come up with anything, so he could only let go of the issue of the Wenchang Marquis family coming to give gifts and said, "Well, grandpa has taken people to the village. You should pay more attention at home. If you have any problems, go to grandpa or ask for help from the Guan family."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. Now, except for the nobles like the Marquis' Mansion, no ordinary family dares to target our family. After all, I really dare to..." Qin Xiaomi didn't finish her words, but now everyone in the county is afraid of dying under her knife.

After hearing this, Grandpa Qin became even more worried and said, "Make some more food for Dalang to keep him warm. Be nice to him!"

It's a good thing you're engaged. If you weren't, who would dare to marry you with your reputation of being able to chop people off?

"I know, I know." Qin Xiaomi responded perfunctorily.

Huang Yanglong was unhappy: "Brother Jiang is so nice, don't be ungrateful!"

Oh, Qin Xiaomi sneered back at him and asked, "Young Master Huang, the new dye is semi-government-run, and your Huang's business also has the secret recipe. You don't have to wait for my secret recipe package. Why don't you go back to Lingnan Prefecture?"

If you don't go back, the people at Huang's Trading Company will probably build a cenotaph for you.

In ancient times, information was blocked and if you didn't return to your hometown for a long time, you would hear dozens or eight versions of your death.

Huang Yanglong snorted coldly: "Brother Jiang is my brother, so of course I have to wait for him to come back and say goodbye to him before returning home. Besides, this is a major case of a century-old spy operation. Isn't it better to have a real military achievement than to mess around with that new dye?"

Can making new dyes lead to military achievements?

You may be stupid, but I am not. I know best which one has greater benefits!

"Besides, my uncles and brothers are in the Huang Family Business. They will naturally follow my letter and open a new dye workshop, so as not to hinder the court from making money."

After saying this, seeing that Grandpa Qin was about to leave, Huang Yanglong didn't want to stay any longer and followed Grandpa Qin away.

Qin Xiaomi also went to busy herself with business.

Grandma Qin distributed the ten carts of gifts given by the Wenchang Marquis family according to the gift list.

There was no need to divide them up; it was clearly written on the gift list that the three carts of gifts tied with red silk were from the Qin family.

The three carts of gifts tied with blue silk were for the Jiang family... Jiang Dalang's reputation as a young hero had spread to the capital, and the nobles had always loved to support these talented young people, so they gave the Jiang family generous gifts.

The three carts of gifts tied with blue silk were given to Qin Laoliu, Qin Dashi, Qin Dayan, Qin Eryong, Qin Cunquan and Xu Qiao.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As for the sheep in the cart, each family had one, and the rest belonged to the Qin and Jiang families.

Soon, Grandma Qin distributed the gifts and called several women to the maids' house. She pointed at the pile of gifts and said, "Move according to the gift list."

"Lao Liu, Mei Zi, hurry up and move!" Qin Liu Po's eyes turned red with excitement, and she scolded Qin Ying: "Why aren't you at home at this time? You've left the family without a strong laborer!"

Qin Xiaomi chuckled: "Sixth Auntie, are you not happy that Uncle Ying is going to help my grandfather?"

Qin Ying went to the village with Grandpa Qin to help collect grain taxes.

"Oh, you just think too much, how could Liupo have such thoughts?!" Qin Liupo did not admit it and just said that Qin Xiaomi was just imagining things.

Qin Xiaomi laughed and urged Qin Liupo: "Liupo, start moving too."

Grandma Qin Liu was very angry, but she was afraid that she would make Qin Xiaomi angry and the gifts that the family deserved would be withheld, so she hurried to move them.

After the gifts were distributed, Qin Liupo's family would get half a cart of gifts... 50 kilograms of flour, 50 kilograms of rice, 20 kilograms of sugar, a set of four treasures of the study, a box of pearl flowers, two rolls of red and blue silk, and a fat sheep.

Granny Qin Liu: "...Why would the Marquis' family give such a substantial gift? Can't we buy rice, flour, and sugar ourselves? Instead, give a jade pendant that can buy a house, or an ancient painting that can be exchanged for a street shop!"

Grandma Qin: "Sixth brother's wife, if the Marquis's Mansion really gave us these valuables, we wouldn't dare to accept them. It's best to give them these. Let's move in quickly."

Qin Xiaomi urged: "Sixth Aunt, move out quickly. If you continue to block the way for us, the gifts will be confiscated!"

"Leave now, leave now."

That damn girl is so vicious!

Qin Liupo hurriedly asked Qin Laoliu and Qin Mei to move things.

Qin Dashi's wife, Qin Dayan's wife, Qin Eryong's wife, Qin Ertao, Zhu Yiqing, Zhu Sanhong and others went to help.

By mid-afternoon, the families had finally moved all the gifts they had received back to their own homes and shops.

The gifts from the Jiang family will continue to be placed in the Qin family, and will be moved to the Jiang family after Jiang Dalang returns.

This is because the gifts from the Qin and Jiang families were not only more numerous, but also more valuable than those from the other families.

There were also fine jade, valuable books, good leather, a batch of gold ornaments for men and women, top-quality old ink sticks, good spices that were only available in the capital, and a famous business card from Marquis Wenchang.

Marquis Wenchang gave five visiting cards to each of the Qin and Jiang families. With the visiting cards, they could ask to see Marquis Wenchang himself at any time.
