After thinking for a moment, Yun Shi said again, “Mother has a set of head ornaments made from pearls. I was planning to give them to you when you are fifteen, but now I want to give them to you so you can wear them when we visit the capital.”

Yun Shi was thinking this way not only because of today’s events, but also because of cloud brocade matter. She didn’t want Wanwan to feel too wronged, nor did she want Wanwan to be dressed much worse than her eldest daughter when they visited the capital.

“No, no, daughter doesn’t need it. Daughter still has some head ornaments, you can just keep it, Mother.” Wei Qingwan quickly refused.

“You can have it, you are mother’s daughter, and Mother’s things will belong to you and Ruo’er’s in the future.” Yun Shi comforted.

“Then… Then, daughter thank Mother.” Wei Qingwan did not refuse anymore, but said with a shy expression of gratitude.

“Silly child, why thank your mother. Let’s go and follow Mother inside.”

Yun Shi took Wei Qingwan’s hand and walked to her room, ready to hand over the set of pearl head ornaments to Wei Qingwan now.

The things that Bo Zhongyi’s Mansion had named to be given to Wei Ruo were sent to Tingsong Garden.

This time, the box was not big, but the things were much more expensive than the bronze ornaments they received at the first time.

“Miss, here is a set of gold jewelry! There are also some jade jewelry, they all look expensive.” Xiumei said in surprise.

Wei Ruo was also a little surprised, she didn’t expect that Bo Zhongyi would actually give her some valuable jewelry.

Those clothes were not as valuable as the cloud brocade satin, but there was a whole box of them, and they were also made of satin, so the price was not cheap.

“Sure enough, even a scrawny camel is bigger than a horse*. No matter how Bo Zhongyi’s Mansion declines, it still has some foundation after all.” Wei Ruo muttered.

*A scrawny camel is bigger than a horse: even after suffering a loss, a rich person is still better off than ordinary people. 

What made Wei Ruo curious was how the old man and the old lady could have given her such a valuable item, something that had never happened in the original book.

Thinking about it, the difference from the original was that the achievements she had made in the south of the city had brought benefits to the Wei family.

So the two elders weren’t exactly cherishing her as a granddaughter they hadn’t even met yet. Their actions were more driven by family interests.

However, this is also good. At least real valuable stuff has been given to her, which Wei Ruo really likes.

For several days, the long-term workers in Xiaoyang Mountain were busy harvesting sweet potatoes, and several pre-purchased warehouses were filled to the brim.

The production of dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips was immediately put on agenda.

According to Wei Ruo’s instructions, the nanny specifically selected women from poor families to learn how to make dried sweet potato and sweet potato chips, and then entrusted them with the production of a large amount of dried sweet potato.

Each person was paid five cents a day for their work plus a large sweet potato per person.

This income was not high, but for village women where they could hardly eat, it was a very good job. At least it could help them not go hungry, and the work intensity was not high, which they could handle.

At the same time, next to the Sibaozhai, a grain shop opened bustlingly.

The name of the shop was very simple and straightforward, called Xuji Grain Shop.

The store mainly sells grain – rice and sweet potatoes, and also includes fresh shiitake mushrooms and dried shiitake mushrooms.

Dried sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes chips were also sold at the same price as those sold in the dried fruit shop.
