In addition to gold, there were also numerous rewards of cloth, porcelain, tea, pearls, and spices…
All of these are commonly used items of royal reward.
As a favoured prince, these things were ordinary to Chu Lan.
But for ordinary people, these items could not be bought even with an abundance of wealth.
Take this tea, for example, it was likely a tribute from different regions, and this porcelain was probably made in an official kiln.
It was a pity that these things could not be sold for money.
The only thing Wei Ruo could use as money was this one hundred taels of gold.
Wei Ruo looked at these items with a slightly furrowed brow.
“Miss, what’s wrong?” Xiumei asked.
“I need to pick some items that I won’t use but still look presentable to give to the others in the family. I must do what needs to be done to avoid them finding any fault with me.” said Wei Ruo.
What Chu Lan gifted her this time was different from what the Xie Family gave her previously. Gifts from others needed to be returned eventually, so there was a justification for not sharing them with others.
But this time, having received so many royal rewards, it would be inappropriate not to share some with the family.
Xiumei thought for a moment and said, “Miss, I just noticed that some of the cloth is meant for men and we can’t use it.”
“Sort them out.”
“Alright!”
Xiumei separated the material. About half or eight pieces were meant for men.
“Out of these eight, keep four for the second brother and give the other four to father and elder brother. Remember, only mention two for the second brother when asked.” said Wei Ruo.
Xiumei: “Okay.”
Wei Ruo: “Are there not three boxes of pearls?”
Xiumei: “Yes, three boxes, and the pearls are quite large.”
Wei Ruo: “Take out a box and send it to Cangyun Garden.”
Although unwilling, she knew that she needed to maintain decorum or it would give her trouble later on.
“Also, take out a few pieces of the tea pot and porcelain to give to my grandparents in the Capital City. We will send them when we have something to deliver to the Capital City.”
Although she has not met her grandparents yet, they have sent gifts twice already. She naturally wanted to reciprocate their kindness now that she had received the rewards.
Moreover, the gifts for them should be more valuable than those for the other people in the family, so Wei Ruo picked a few more items.
With this, she had arranged gifts for her parents, elder brother, and grandparents. Only Wei Qingwan and Wei Yilin were left.
“No need to prepare for Wei Qingwan. She just offended me and everyone in the Government City knows about it. She’s at fault and is still being punished. I can openly withhold her gift under the guise of her punishment.” That was something Wei Ruo already prepared for.
Thankfully, Wei Qingwan was herself at fault, creating such a fuss in the Government City, providing Wei Ruo an excuse to “punish” her publicly. “As for Wei Yilin, he also made a mistake, but I have already penalized him, so it wouldn’t be proper to overdo it. I see there’s a whip listed, I will give it to him to practice.” said Wei Ruo.
