386 Little Yu is a Rich Girl
Medicinal tea and medicinal fragrances were just a side gift.
The Bahrain steatite was the main show of etiquette. She had to ask her grandmother for her opinion before she could add it to the list.
Good jade was easy to obtain, but strange stones were difficult to find. The reason why she wanted to give him the Bahrain steatite was because of the Longevity peach blossom stone seal that her cousin had won from Mr. Xian Yun.
Her cousin had said that the peach blossom stone was Mr. Xian Yun’s favorite item and had been kept for many years.
!!
Mr. Xian Yun would definitely be very happy to see this stone!
A trace of mischief flashed across Yu Youyao’s eyes.
When Old Madam Yu heard this, she pondered and said, “The Bahrain steatite is comparable in value to a oriental jasper. However, it is brilliant and its texture is charming. It’s enough to compete with your longevity peach blossom stone. The precious stones and jade of the Great Zhou Dynasty are rare, and the Bahrain steatite is very popular with scholars. Needless to say, it’s dignified. Mr. Xian Yun likes the stone because it suits him.” After saying that, she smiled. “It’s appropriate.”
Her granddaughter had always been dignified and thorough. She was really beautiful.
After doing it, it was her duty. If she did it well, it would be called dignity. If she did it well, it would be called well executed. There were many people in this world who could do things and knew how to do them, but there were still very few who could do one thing well.
Yu Youyao prepared a gift in return.
Yu Youyao thought about it and gave him five of the cooling beads that Mr. Xian Yun had asked for.
As the combination was too complicated, it was not easy to make the cooling beads once, so she had made a lot last time.
She kept a bunch for herself, and her grandmother and cousin each gave her a bunch. Nanny Xu and Nanny Liu each gave her three pills. Later, when Yu Zongzheng found out, he asked her for five pills. Second Uncle and Second Aunt of the second branch also gave her five pills each, and her brothers and sisters each gave her three pills to play with.
Yu Youyao had prepared the rest for the Xie family.
Other than her maternal grandfather, her maternal grandfather and grandmother each received a string. Her uncles and aunts each received five pills. Her cousins each received three pills, and there were still a few left.
Finally, at 7pm, she sent Mr. Xian Yun out of the house.
Mr. Xian Yun sat in the car and played with the Bahrain steatite in his hand. He also had a rare expression. “The stone is smooth and bright. The texture is clean and brilliant. The color is charming and gentle, like the skin of a baby. It’s incomparably delicate. It’s rare.” After saying that, he immediately reacted. “It seems that the Longevity peach blossom stone that the brat won from me back then is in the little girl’s hands.” He couldn’t help but scold with a smile, “Bad girl, bullying an old man. She’s very evil.”
This rare good stone had to be treasured well, or carved into a seal to play with.
However, in that case, wouldn’t every time she saw the Bahrain steatite in the future, she would think of the peach blossom stone she had lost to that brat in the past?
Did she think that he, an old man, did not care about his face?
The rare Bahrain steatite was enough to satisfy Mr. Xian Yun’s appetite, but it couldn’t compare to the cooling beads that Yu Youyao had given him. He couldn’t bear to part with them.
After sending Mr. Xian Yun off, Yu Youyao and Zhou Linghuai returned to the Jade Courtyard.
Yu Youyao thought of Mr. Xian Yun’s shamelessness. “Mr. Xian Yun seems to be a little different from the rumors outside? Does it mean that when a person’s intelligence reaches a certain level, they don’t care about some vanity? Is this the legendary return to simplicity?”
According to the book, the more virtuous a person was, the more knowledgeable they would have some strange habits that were difficult to doubt.
Zhou Linghuai scoffed. “Perhaps you can understand it as saying ego is one’s greatest enemy?”
Yu Youyao turned to look at her cousin without blinking.
Zhou Linghuai was inexplicably puzzled by her gaze. “What’s wrong?”
Yu Youyao’s face was wooden. “I didn’t expect you to be my cousin.”
She actually had friends with such a vicious tongue. It was simply admirable.
Zhou Linghuai couldn’t help but clench his fists and cough lightly. “That old man is very bad. It seems that he has to stay in the capital for a while. With his personality, he’ll have to make excuses to visit every now and then in the future.”
Thinking of the pile of things she had given away today, Yu Youyao’s chest immediately hurt. “Are you serious?”
Zhou Linghuai nodded. Seeing the little girl’s shocked expression, he came up with an idea. “It’s okay. The next time he comes and wants something from you, get him to exchange it with the Heavenly Works, the Four Books and Five Classics, and annotations from various historical books. That old man has traveled the world and is knowledgeable. His character is indeed a little bad, but he’s also really talented and knowledgeable. He can broaden his horizons and learn. To you, it can’t be better.”
Yu Youyao’s eyes lit up. “Cousin, I heard that Mr. Xian Yun is proficient in calligraphy and painting. One of his calligraphy paintings is worth a thousand gold coins. The next time you come over, ask him to draw a few more paintings and exchange them for money.”
She was scheming in her heart.
In her heart, Mr. Xian Yun’s image had immediately changed from a shameless boss to a rich man. It was the kind that could be stroked again.
Zhou Linghuai almost choked on his saliva. “Are you short of money?”
Yu Youyao smiled. “No, but no one will complain about having too much money.”
Looking at the little girl with a smile on her lips and a mischievous and eager expression, Zhou Linghuai felt a chill run down his spine. He suddenly pitied Mr. Xian Yun. “I didn’t realize before that you were still a little money-grubber.”
Yu Youyao smiled and said nothing.
After her cousin’s identity was revealed, Yu Youyao felt an inexplicable sense of danger.
After thinking about it, she felt that she shouldn’t sit back and do nothing. However, she was a woman, and she was still half-grown. What was there to do?
After thinking about it, it seemed that the only way was to earn more money.
The rich in his hands did not panic. Money could make the world go round.
Therefore, Yu Youyao’s passion for earning money erupted in an unprecedented manner. She was obsessed with money and hugged the account book all day long. She flipped through the businesses under her name and studied hard to earn money. She improved the business model of the various shops and asked Dong Mei to count the things under her name.
Yu Youyao’s private vault was cleaned over and over again. Anything that she didn’t need was sold in the shop.
Nanny Yue and the other stewards were often called into the residence for discussion.
Her commotion was not small, and even Old Madam Yu was alarmed.
When Yu Youyao went to An Shou Hall to learn mind games, Old Madam Yu asked, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you making such a fuss?”
She was even selling the things in her own private vault. Wasn’t she crazy poor?
But!
As a little rich lady, she had 108 rice shops in the country and ten merchant ships under the Xie family’s name. On the two rivers, she owned a merchant street and other small and large businesses!!
How could she be poor? How could she lack money?!
