A Blessed Daughter Chapter 549

 But the person's mental state seemed to be very good, but his expression was still as serious as ever.

Only when his eyes glanced at Wei Ruo, there was an imperceptible smile and softness on his face.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chu Heng had someone give him a New Year's greeting.

 After the gift list was presented, Wei Mingting and Yun looked at it.

Wei Mingting and Yun couldn't help but look at each other, with surprise in their eyes.

 As a New Year's greeting, this gift from King Yu is a bit expensive.

Moreover, their daughter is a concubine, so this is somewhat inappropriate.

After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Yun thanked King Yu and said, "Your Highness, King Yu, you are so polite."

Yun's face was filled with joy. Although it was unexpected, it was a good thing.

The fact that Prince Yu can accompany Wanwan back today and prepare such generous gifts for them is enough to show that Wanwan is living a very good life in Prince Yu's house.

　　After the last incident, she worried several times that Wanwan would be left out, and even worried that she would commit suicide for her reputation. Now it seems that her worries are unnecessary.

"This is what it should be. It is my blessing that the two elders have raised such an outstanding daughter for me." Chu Heng said.

"It is my blessing that I can serve the prince," Yun said.

Wei Qingwan lowered her head shyly, her eyes looking at Chu Heng full of tenderness.

After a moment, Wei Qingwan slowly raised her head and looked at Wei Ruo, who was sitting diagonally across from her: "The gift prepared by my sister should be more generous than ours. This can be considered as a way to attract others."

With one sentence, Wei Ruo, who was drinking tea leisurely and had no intention of participating in this matter, was lifted out.

Wei Ruo looked at Wei Qingwan with a smile and did not respond immediately.

Wei Qingwan smiled sweetly again and said, "Sister, please don't show off. I have prepared some generous gifts so that my sister can learn more."

I still remember that when the old lady celebrated her birthday, Wei Qingwan mainly gave gifts in a clever way, because she was not favored in the palace at that time and did not have much money with her.

Wei Qingwan could only buy some very common items that the old man liked, such as calligraphy and painting, jade, and porcelain, so she chose to express her feelings. However, she was overwhelmed by the gifts that Wei Ruo took casually at that time.

At that time, Wei Qingwan was actually sad, but due to her situation at the time, she had no ability to fight back.

Now times have changed, and Wei Qingwan's status has changed. When he returned home to pay New Year's greetings, not only was Prince Yu personally accompanying him, but he also prepared a generous New Year's greeting gift. Wei Qingwan felt that she could take this opportunity to win back a victory, and also make Wei Ruo look bad. .

Wei Ruo smiled lightly. She originally didn't plan to give a New Year's gift at this time, but now that Wei Qingwan had spoken, she had no choice but to give the gift.

Wei Ruo turned around and gave Xiumei a look.

Xiumei immediately turned around and went out, and then Wei Ruo said to Wei Mingting: "I prepared some small gifts for father, and I hope he won't dislike them."

“A gift is a gift from the heart. No matter what it is, as long as it is prepared by Ruoer, my father will not dislike it.” Wei Mingting replied.

 Then I saw Xiumei bringing in a few boxes and placing them in the center of the hall.

 Everything is packed in ordinary large wooden boxes, without red cloth or decoration, simple and crude.

Xiumei asked people to open the wooden boxes. Inside were ten jars of thyme, a large box of pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and several boxes of cloth.

Chu Heng looked at the center of the hall and found that these items were all popular items in the capital last year. Many of them were for sale only, and sometimes they had to queue up to buy them. Chu Heng himself had no interest in these objects, but because of the pursuit of some people in the capital, he couldn't help but understand a little bit about them.

For example, the old man of the Lu family liked thyme very much, so he specially sent someone to buy some for the Lu family.

As for the cloths, they seemed to be sold by Caiyunjian. Shijing had bought some to make clothes before and made a few clothes for him. She even mentioned that the cloths might not be sold outside for a long time and might be selected. As a tribute, it will no longer be worn by ordinary people.

"Ruo'er is interested." Wei Mingting looked at Wei Ruo with a kind smile on his face.

"Ruo'er spent a lot of money buying so many things." Yun said afterward.

 “It's nothing, it didn't cost much.” Wei Ruodao.

 The market has been bad recently, and the sales of her luxury items for nobles have not been very good, so she just gave them away to clear the inventory.

Hearing this, Chu Heng couldn't help but said: "The ninth brother and sister are really rich. As far as I know, these things are not cheap."

"Really? The things in my shop don't cost much money." Wei Ruo replied.

 Things from your own shop?

What's the meaning?

 Those present, Wei Mingting, Yun Shi, Wei Yichen, Chu Heng and Wei Qingwan all showed doubtful expressions to varying degrees.

"Why do you say this, Ninth Brother and Sister? As far as I know, your thyme comes from a small workshop, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone come from Sibao Zhai, and the fabric is sold exclusively by Caiyunjian." Chu Heng said.

 “The prince knows these things very clearly.” Wei Ruodao.

"I am not a stubborn person. These items have been popular in the capital for a while, and I have learned something about them." Chu Heng replied.

“The Baili Winery and Sibaozhai are my shops, so naturally I don't need to spend much money.” Wei Ruo replied.

What?

 Baili Winery and Sibao Zhai are Wei Qingruo's shops?

she? A woman's family?

 Generally, the shop owned by a woman's family comes from gifts from her natal family or her husband, either as a dowry or as property of her husband's family.

The Wei family has never given Wei Ruo a shop like this. How could Wei Ruo have two such profitable shops?

“Ruo'er, don't be ridiculous, how could Baili Winery and Sibaozhai be your shops?” Yun couldn't help but said.

"It's my fault. I kept hiding this from my parents. I also know that it's not good for the girl's family to do this outside. It would be a disgrace to the Wei family's reputation if people knew about it. Therefore, these shops have been run under the name of my friend. Now I no longer have these worries, and the prince is not worried about my reputation being ruined, so he left it back in my hands." Wei Ruo explained in a calm tone.

The world is like this. The more powerful you are, the less you need to abide by those red tape rules.

Especially when she doesn't care about reputation, things become much easier to handle.

 Listening to Wei Ruo's words, everyone in the hall did not respond for a long time.

Wei Ruo's few understatement words gave a huge shock to several people.

The store she was talking about was not an ordinary shop, especially Baili Winery and Sibaozhai, which had interacted with several of them.

Yun's expression looked very complicated. At first it was surprise, then it turned into disbelief, and then there was pain in his eyes.

Chu Heng was so surprised that his eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes were fixed on Wei Ruo for a long time.

Wei Qingwan pursed her lips and clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves so hard that her nails dug into her flesh.
