“Thank you very much, Missy.”
The masters thanked Qi Qingyao again.
Before they left, Qi Qingyao took out a few boxes of treats from inside the carriage again and gifted them to the masters as souvenirs.?After that, she prepared carriages specially to send the masters back to Qingzhou Village.
This act of courtesy gained the praises of the masters and disciples again and again.
Who on earth said the Eleventh Daughter did not have a brain?
Just look at this person’s mannerisms. As expected of someone who was worthy of being a disciple of the master, she was courteous and considerate, and also did not waste their painstaking efforts of the past month!
The running banquet continued till night before the chefs and the servants were finally done with their work.
Each and every one of them almost collapsed from exhaustion.
Qi Qingyao once again extended her gratitude to the chefs and the servants and this action was, of course, generous.
The chefs and servants happily accepted the silver mace. Qi Qingyao then got Jiang Yeqian to send them home over the night.
Putting away the tarp tent, disassembling the stove, clearing the tables and chairs, and sweeping the ground; all these actions were done quickly and efficiently.
After only half an hour, everyone had left. Even the trash on the ground had been taken away.
Who would not note the professionalism after seeing this!
Qi Qingyao sent everyone off before entering her house. The children were already asleep in the carriage.
Qi Qingyao went inside the house and walked two rounds inside it. She activated all the mechanisms before leaving the house. In the end, the carriage departed for Baishui Town.
Jiang Yeqian asked, “Are you not going to stay in this new house tonight?”
“Not tonight.”
She wanted to stay but she had been busy the entire day and the temperature at night was low. The house would not have the feeling of having been lived in if they were to move in all of a sudden.
They could freeze to death.
It was in stark contrast to the inn that was full of bustling characters.
When they returned to the inn that night, Qi Qingyao opened the gift that Li Qing had given her. One look revealed it to be a blue and white porcelain vase. However, the vase’s craftsmanship was complex. It had nine layers of motifs and the order of the motifs was—peonies with winding branches, a pattern of hooked clouds, a pattern with a sun, moon and stars, a swastika pattern, a pattern with branches of peach, a pattern with carp, pine, bamboo and plum, folded branches, a pattern of curled grass!
Qi Qingyao took a deep breath.
“What’s wrong?” Si Jin poured her a bowl of tea.
Qi Qingyao held the vase and clicked her tongue. “The Lord Heir is very generous.”
“Is this vase really expensive? Sister?” asked Si Jin.
Qi Qingyao rubbed her jaw and said, “It’s not only expensive, it’s practically considered a rarity.”
A large, blue and white porcelain vase with nine layers of patterns was quite rare. Sure, the ordinary vases were also blue and white, but there would only be one or two types of decorative motifs on them. At most, there would be five. She did not expect there to be nine types on this vase... It was practically one of its kind!
Qi Qingyao very carefully, and with much appreciation, wrapped the vase and put it in her luggage.
Jiang Yeqian saw how she cherished the gift given to her by the Lord Heir and asked sourly, “Do you have to value it that much? It’s just a vase.”
“You just don’t know how to appreciate it.” Qi Qingyao rolled her eyes at him before saying, “Even if I don’t use it myself, I can still sell this thing later on. It’s probably worth quite a bit of silver too.”
“Ah…” So, she planned on selling it. He knew all this woman had in her mind was money, money, money.
Qi Qingyao noticed his peculiar reaction and asked, “Do you know how much it’s worth?”
Jiang Yeqian replied, “At least ten thousand taels of silver.”
Qi Qingyao blinked, “...” The Lord Heir was truly generous!
She paused for a moment.
Qi Qingyao then asked.
“Did we spend our last budget entirely?”
“No.”
Jiang Yeqian fished out the remaining paper money from his bosom.
There were a total of 6,300 taels remaining.
Qi Qingyao took back the banknotes and put them together with the hundred thousand taels she had in her hand. Seeing the pile of banknotes, Qi Qingyao could not help but feel like laughing. She could have exchanged this for silver by now and gotten a million taels, but who would have thought that because of her carelessness…
Lu Yan owed her a debt and he definitely will have to give it back.
