Chapter 326 Birthday Gift

After the three Ruan brothers left, Xi Tongfang and Ruan discussed with the Ruan family, "The birthday of the old man of Ji's family is coming soon. This time, the Ji family has ordered so many goods in our shop and taken care of our business. I thought, I would like to send a birthday gift to the Ji family. Look, what should we give?"

Ruan is a wife and a village girl. How could he know what gifts should the old man from a wealthy family give for his birthday?

She said, "The shops that the Ji family cares about are definitely not just ours. Otherwise, if you go and inquire, we can also give you the same ones."

"Okay, it's been a few days, I'll go inquire in the afternoon."

After Xi Tongfang finished speaking, he hurriedly left again.

In the evening, Xi Tongfang came back.

Xi Tongfang said to Ruan Shi excitedly, "I found out that the silk that was held by the Ji family for the birthday party was bought from the He family silk cloth shop. The wife of the He family is the third aunt of the Xia family, the eldest grandmother of the Xia family, and the eldest grandmother of the Chu family. These families are relatives who are connected to marriage. I found out from the master of the He family that the old man of the Ji family likes screens. Whether it is screen placing or vertical screens, as long as the embroidery style is good, Old Man Ji will like it."

He said happily again, "Axiu, I remember you embroidered a screen that had not been embedded yet. Why don't we embed it and give it to Mr. Ji as a birthday gift?"

Ruan was a little hesitant, "Master, that's just me embroidered with ordinary embroidery thread. Would it be too thin to give that gift?"

"No, we are not a wealthy family. We give gifts to Mr. Ji, just thank the Ji family for taking care of our business. The gifts are too thick and we can't afford them. It's just right for the screen to be delivered."

No matter how expensive a gift is, it is not as good as others' preference.

What's more, he was confident that his wife's embroidery worker was better than the screens sold in the embroidery workshop outside.

Ruan said, "Then just embed a good frame and spend a few more taels of silver. Although our family is not rich, it cannot give gifts too casually. Besides, a family like the Ji family will not end in one go, and the future will be long."

Xi Tongfang smiled and agreed.

Ruan Tsai instructed Xia Chan to find out the embroidered screen and give it to Xi Tongfang to embed the wooden frame tomorrow.

At the time of Xu, after the family had dinner, Xi Tongfang and Xi Feng went to the study to talk, and what they were talking about was the matter of the Zhu family. Xi Feng told Xi Tongfang one by one about what she asked about from Chu Li.

Xi Feng said, "Originally, I ordered a batch of goods, the delivery date was half a month, and the compensation silver in the document was only 3,000 taels of silver. But shortly after we bought a new house, the Zhu family added a batch of goods, and the delivery date was changed to one month, and the compensation silver was also added to 8,000 taels of silver. Dad, the reason why the Zhu family added orders and compensation silver was simply because they were worried that something happened to my third cousin. Our family would help him pay back the silver. Our old house was worth 2,000 taels of silver. It would be easy to get one thousand taels of silver. It would be easy to get eight thousand taels of silver. Even if we sell the old house, it would be not easy. Then the Zhu family was obviously staring at our family."

"The reason why my third cousin was plotted against so much money by the Zhu family this time is somewhat involved with our family," Xi Feng said.
