"This is too precious!" Ou Mengmeng stared at the Guanyin, she really wanted to kneel down. When did Daiyu become so corrupt? Dear Fairy Jiangzhu, is this really treating money like dirt? Does this count as a failure in education?
The two-year-old body means that this Guanyin is about the same size as a child of about two years old. This is a seated statue, about 60c high and about 40c in diameter. She is sitting. The Guanyin is placed on the table. She can really only look up. . It feels really more shocking than the one given to the imperial concubine.
And this piece of jade is a bit like the floating glass of later generations. With such a large piece and such high transparency, the floating flowers in the transparent jade do not appear to be impurities, but add more solemnity and miracles.
You must know this type of floating glass. In the 21st century, my daughter bought a bracelet made of this material for her, her mother, and her grandmother. Let her wear it and play! She really didn't like it, so she wore it later when she had to attend a formal dinner and had to wear it with matching clothes. When someone told her that the bracelet cost hundreds of thousands, she wanted to beat her daughter. Fortunately, everyone knows that her children are those who are not short of money. Otherwise, they must suspect that she is taking bribes? Well, now, the one who is even more prodigal is here, and he is still so big. Is he considered priceless?
"Why is it so valuable? The jade from the south is not very valuable originally. It is not green, it is just bright and transparent, and there are so many impurities. In fact, if it were not the God-given Guanyin, my granddaughter would be embarrassed to give it to you. Still, Sister Yuanyang After taking shape, I went to the temple to consecrate the sun, and even came to your place to perform rituals to bless you with a long life." Daiyu said with a busy smile, "You, just think, this is God's return. For you."
Ou Mengmeng thought about it and seemed to have said in some book that jade was worth a hundred times more, which was why Cixi later fell in love with it. In the past, jade was really not precious. Here jade is respected, and it must be full of green and translucent to be considered good jade. This kind of transparent one is not as expensive as colored glaze. Because floating flowers are really impurities, for the girls here who are all nobles, giving this to the old lady would probably be too embarrassing for her if it weren’t for the gimmick of Guanyin descending from heaven.
"This is so true that I don't even dare to refuse." Although Ou Mengmeng has no religious beliefs, she also believes in unnatural phenomena and does not dare to mess around. But thinking about it, I still find it strange, "This is not a birthday gift. Why are you giving such a big gift? Not to mention it's because of the money. This Buddha statue alone, with your little money, is not enough." "
"It really didn't cost anything. This was originally in the family's warehouse. Now it's yours to share. It's just a token of my gratitude." Baochai gave her an old hand cane that she found in their family's warehouse. She was busy I changed it for the old lady and asked her to get up and give it a try. Before, the old lady used a piece of wood, which Jia She ordered for her.
However, I have to say that this crutch is really a good thing. It is made of some old tree vines. It is very light but very stable because it is made of several vines twisted together. There are three branches under the foot, so that It's a bit of a prototype of a modern functional crutch. It can be said that Baochai is really attentive.
However, Ou Mengmeng did not dare to look down upon it, it looked inconspicuous. You should know that in their old warehouse, there were even the old coffin boards of Prince Yi Zhong. It can be seen that these things were all used to curry favor with the nobles in the court. Who knows who this was prepared for before.
Baochai really didn't know who it was for, but she felt happy that it suited the old lady. She had found this hand cane a long time ago, but she also knew that it was so good that it looked like a hand cane made from the roots of a tree. Those who know the goods will know that it is not ordinary just by looking at the lines. If she gave it away, I'm afraid the old lady wouldn't accept it.
So this time, Daiyu said that she would give something expensive and asked if everyone wanted to give it together as a partnership. As a result, everyone hurriedly said that everyone was ready and waiting for today. Sure enough, seeing the old lady like this, I also knew that the old lady was burdened.
The old lady looked at the crutch, took two steps, and nodded. It was great. However, she seriously doubted that Jia She would be angry if she didn't use the crutch made by Jia She. But it can be seen that Baochai is really smart. After all, he has been with me for a long time and knows his rules. The gift is indeed a hidden luxury, but it is also practical for him.
The three girls from the Jia family and Meng Yin knew that they would be generous, but they didn't know what expressions to give them. Because the three girls of the Jia family know the temper of the old lady very well. She is really not polite. For an old lady who has nothing to do and grows onions, if you give her such a big Guanyin statue, this is
What do you think?
So what the three girls of the Jia family and Meng Yin gave them were their usual needles and threads, which the old lady could use on a daily basis. In the past, old ladies didn't like to wear forehead wipes, but now that they are getting older, they can't wear hats with their hairstyles, so they can only wear forehead wipes. Otherwise, no matter where you sit, you will feel drafty. So actually, Jia Ying and Meng Yin would usually help.
Besides, what they have is all at home, and when they go out to buy rare treasures, I told the old lady that they really don’t have the money. Not to mention Daiyu's Buddha statue, Baochai's old vine crutch, Tong'an's jade gourd, and the You sisters' jade plaque, they are all old roots in the family. If they relied on their own dowry of ten thousand taels of silver, they really couldn't afford it. Meng Yin could afford it, but she really didn't regard the Meng family's wealth as her own, so naturally she wouldn't give the Meng family's things to the old lady.
What Miaoyu gave her was the Buddhist scripture she copied, because she was the last one to come and she really didn’t have that deep relationship with the old lady. This also moved the old lady very much. He took it with both hands and thanked him seriously. But look again, gourd, jade Buddha, Zigang brand. It's a bit embarrassing, because Baochai is really something I can use. It's expensive, but it's very practical. These three things are really not something she can accept. The main thing is that you can't open this door. Luxury cannot exist in the Jia family.
"I told you before about my principle of accepting gifts. Now why don't you tell me the reason? I know about Yao'er. It was because on the day she came, I happened to find a Guanyin similar to this one to give as a gift. So she felt that it was related to her, and now she wanted to return one to me. Have you forgotten this? Mrs. You really don’t need to send this Guanyin back.” The old lady thought about it and turned to Baochai, “I’ll accept this, thank you. When I leave in the future, remember to take it back and don’t let them be buried with you. It’s such a waste! You Take it back and give it to those who can use it, otherwise, if it is made of such good rattan, it will be used by useful people from generation to generation."
"Yes!" Baochai smiled and nodded. As long as the old lady can accept it, even if she takes it back by herself in the future, it will be as if the old lady is still there. She thinks it is acceptable.
