Chapter 489： If you continue to be polite, I will regret it!

Chapter 489: If you continue to be polite, I will regret it!

Previously, the Marquis knew that she was keen on collecting pearls and gems, so he asked for one of the master craftsmen in the palace.

This old master has been making jewelry all his life. As he gets older, his hands are not so steady and his eyesight is blurred.

Logically speaking, it is best to go home and take care of yourself in old age, but your children and grandchildren cannot live up to expectations, and it is still difficult to survive.

So, I heard that the Marquis's mansion asked him to make a sacrifice for a hundred taels of silver a year. On weekdays, he only needs to make some small things and jewelry for the princess.

He happily agreed at that time, so his children and grandchildren went to work in the village of the Marquis Mansion, and he just waited for the little princess to arrange errands.

He had just received a handful of transparent gems before, and he had a headache and couldn't act like a princess.

Suddenly, another urgent task came up, which can be considered as a way to show off your skills and change your thinking.

So, on the afternoon of the second day, the chief steward of the Hou Mansion came to the door personally bringing gifts and a box.

The gifts were of course prepared for Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui, so the box was given directly to Jiayin.

The chief steward half bent over and explained clearly to the young master, "Master Shi said that those transparent gems are very hard, and he needs to think about it for more time. Please allow the princess some more time!"

Jiayin waved his hands nonchalantly and said, "Uncle Steward, help me tell Master Shi that I'm not in a hurry, just let him think about it."

"Thank you for your understanding, Princess." The chief steward smiled and turned to praise Mrs. Li, "The Princess is really kind and generous, and she has always been so considerate."

Mrs. Li smiled from ear to ear, "This child is born with kindness and righteousness. He never wants to make things difficult for others, and he has a generous temper!

"Let's talk about eating snacks. Every time she gets a snack box, everyone in the family, big and small, has to share it in a circle before she is willing to put it in her own mouth without caring about the food at all."

After saying that, she thought of tomorrow's wedding banquet and asked, "The Liu family has decided to hold the wedding for tomorrow. There will be banquets in the village and the Cui family. Where will the housekeeper go to drink?"

"Of course they are coming to our house!" The big housekeeper immediately responded, "Our family is so lively, and the fourth lady's food is also first-rate and delicious! Nowadays, countless people in Xindu are breaking their heads and rushing to order private dishes. I can’t get a reservation, so of course I’m going to satisfy my craving.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Li became even more happy.

After chatting for a few more words, the chief steward was about to return to the city.

Jiayin asked Shui Ling to bring him a basket of fruits, then he picked up the box and ran to the Cui family yard to find Mr. Wen.

Mr. Wen has been waiting for more than ten years, and his dream is finally coming true. He has been extremely excited these past two days.

In front of people, he still pretends to be calm, but behind people, he is so excited that he can't eat or sleep. He is currently practicing calligraphy and trying to calm down.

Suddenly seeing good news coming, Mr. Wen put down his pen and asked, "Where are Shui Ling and Shui Yun? Why aren't any of them waiting on me?"

Jiayin smiled and patted the box in his hand, "Because I have a secret to tell my uncle, so I didn't let them come over."

“Oh, what’s the secret? Did you get into trouble and want your uncle to help you intercede?”

Mr. Wen didn’t take it seriously. Although the little girl was smart, she was still a child.

As a result, Jiayin quickly opened the box in his hand, and a beaded crown as big as a palm was placed in the box.

The pearls are shining brightly. Although each one is not very big, they are perfectly round.

Careful craftsmen threaded it through silver wire and twisted it into a hair crown.

The sunlight outside the window penetrates through the cracks in the window, and is projected on the beaded crown, slowly shining, extremely beautiful!

Let alone Mr. Wen, even the good news was dumbfounded.

Master Shi is so awesome, he made the pearl look like a gem.

"Fu Niu'er, what are you..." Mr. Wen guessed a bit and asked tentatively.

Sure enough, Jiayin pushed the beaded crown in front of him cruelly, "Uncle, this is prepared for you. You can keep it for your sister-in-law. I wish you and your sister-in-law a lasting love and complete happiness!" Even though Mr. Wen is now penniless, Wen, but he still accepted the gifts from everyone in the Li family calmly, whether it was new clothes, shoes, socks, bedding or accessories.

Because he knows that his friendship with the Li family will last a lifetime, and there will always be a time when he can repay it!

But now he had to accept a gift from a little girl, which was jewelry specially prepared for him and asked him to give it to his wife. He was really moved and ashamed.

He is already such a big man, yet he still has a child to worry about...

"Fu Niu'er, my uncle can't have it, you can keep it for yourself..."

Jiayin picked up the beaded crown and put it directly into Mr. Wen's hand. He almost gritted his molars and said, "Uncle, don't be polite anymore. If you continue to be polite, I'm afraid I will regret it!"

Mr. Wen was stunned for a moment. Seeing the little girl's eyes staring at the beaded crown, as if she was being cut into pieces, he looked distressed. He couldn't help but burst into laughter.

“Okay, okay, I’ll accept it for your sister-in-law and ask her to give you a better set later!” Mr. Wen quickly took the beaded crown and put it in the drawer, completely blocking the eyes of those who were reluctant to part with the good news.

Jiayin looked at the box and saw how many pearl hairpins, earrings, rings and other small things were there, and knew that Master Shi had made them with the remaining beads.

So she said hello, jumped down, picked up the box and ran away again.

Mr. Wen shouted at her from behind to stop falling.

Tao Hongying was busy in the kitchen with a few village women. Suddenly her sleeves were pulled by her daughter, and she was startled, "What's the matter, Fu Niu'er, are you hungry?"

"No, mother, come here!" Jiayin pulled her mother to sit on the threshold, then took out the most beautiful hairpin from the box and inserted it into her mother's bun.

Tao Hongying still wanted to dodge, "Oh, I was cooking and there was so much fumes. Wearing such a good thing is a waste."

"No, it looks good on my mother!" Jiayin insisted, and took off the silver lilac from her mother's ear and replaced it with a pearl pendant. Finally, she kissed her mother with satisfaction and went back to the house with a smile.

“The older this kid gets, the crazier he gets!” Tao Yongying scolded, but his face turned into a smile. He stretched out his hand to carefully support Zhu Chai, and continued to work.

Soon, Mrs. Li, Huiniang, Sister-in-law Liu, Dongmei, and Grandma He who were threading needles in the room also got jewelry from the fat girl, and they were all surprised.

"Is this the second time?" Madam Hui held the pearl pendant in her hand and said with a smile: "Last time I went to a banquet, Fu Niuer had to dress up my sister-in-law, and I got the honor once."

Sister-in-law Liu joked: "This is my first time. It seems that I will come to help my aunt with work more often in the future. Maybe it won't take a year or so for me to save a box."

Everyone laughed and made plans. After these few days, they had some free time and quickly made the little girl a new dress, shoes and socks.

Children are close to and generous to them, and it is not good for them to take advantage of their children.

Old Mrs. Li was forcefully stuffed with a pearl string and ring by her granddaughter.

In fact, at her age, it was not suitable for her to wear these, but she still wore them.

Everyone continued to do needlework and chatted.

Jiayin was lying next to grandma, rolling around in various ways.

Thinking about the beaded crown just now, she must ask Master Shi to wear another one for her in the future.

No, two!

She wanted to wear one, but when she was free to look at it, there were quite a few pearls stored in the left and right spaces!

Thinking like this, she closed her eyes, wandering around in space with her mind, taking stock of her little treasury, and fell asleep after a while...
