Chapter 291: Chapter 185 Speaking Doesn’t Count_2

Dashan could endure hardships himself, but he would never tolerate his children being mistreated.

Qian Yixiu quickly squatted down with a giggle, letting the excited Benben lick her face before she whispered with a smile, "Benben is really capable, following mom and dad there, and even protecting Monkey Brother to bring back such a wonderful treasure. Embroidered older sister will remember this achievement and make an even bigger silver collar for you all tomorrow."

Benben became even more excited and nearly knocked Qian Yixiu over.

Qian Yixiu then praised the House of Animals, saying she would make something delicious for them at noon. She then tucked the handkerchief wrapped around the pearls into her bosom and led the House of Animals back to the front courtyard to rest.

The Dashan family’s rooms were in a side room of the east wing, while Monkey Brother’s bedroom was in a side room of the west wing. Since moving to the front courtyard, there had been an excess of rooms, and as Monkey Brother had grown a bit, they arranged a separate room for him to sleep in.

Qian Yixiu first had Zi Zhu relay to Lady He that she wanted steamed minced meat and egg custard for Monkey Brother at noon, a pot of pork bones rich in meat for the Dashan family, and half a basin of raw pig meat for White Wolf.

Then she went back to her own small room to change her clothes and shoes, knowing her young mother would be sad to see her in the state she was just in.

A spruced up Qian Yixiu went to the main room, where only Qian Sangui and Lady Wu were present.

Lady Wu saw Qian Yixiu had changed into a different outfit and asked, "Weren’t you wearing a different set of clothes earlier? Why have you changed? Yixiu, remember that our family comes from humble beginnings, and we mustn’t forget our roots. One should never run out of food or clothes, or else be poor in every way. Such extravagance, no matter how much money one earns, will never be enough..."

Grandma Wu was in full swing when she was called out by Sister-in-law Lu from outside the window. They whispered at the edge of the window, seemingly about Auntie Qian Xiang setting up Mandie with a prospect, asking for Lady Wu to weigh in.

Now the status of Lady Wu in the Qian family had also risen, and many things would be consulted with her. Hearing it was this matter, she too felt quite honored and quickly followed Sister-in-law Lu.

Qian Yixiu lifted the cotton curtain, checked both sides for anyone around, then closed the door. She sat down next to Master Sangui and said mysteriously, "Grandfather, guess where Monkey Brother and the Dashan family went?"

Grandfather Sangui laughed and said, "They couldn’t have gone back to that place where they pick pearls and lotus seeds, could they?"

Qian Yixiu replied, "Grandfather is so smart." She then took out the pearls to show him, "Monkey Brother really took them there again, look, these are what they’ve just brought back."

She wanted to tell Grandfather Sangui that as long as the House of Animals was there to provide protection, going to that place wouldn’t just be safe but would also ensure a safe return.

Qian Sangui was shocked; his previous comment was just a joke. Could their monkey really have become so clever, returning to that place and knowing to bring pearls back for its owner?

He looked at the pearls, four of the smaller ones were not as fine as the last time, but the large one was much better, sparking another wave of joy.

After some thought, he spoke in a low voice, "Let’s keep this from your grandma for now, Yixiu. Hide the pearls well. We’ll take them out when there’s a use for them."

Qian Yixiu returned to her room in high spirits, looked around, and decided that since this was not a permanent place, it was not suitable to dig holes; the pearls had to be hidden in the teapot that held maps under the bed.

In the evening, Lady Wu came back. She said the Yu family, which Qian Xiang had helped to match with Mandie, was very reliable. They also lived in the north of the city, only two streets away from the Qianxiang House, and were actually neighbors to the three houses in the county town residence. Their family ran a distillery and wine shop. The eldest brother mainly worked at the distillery, this young man mainly worked in the shop, and another brother, a scholar, was preparing to take the graduate examinations the year after next.

The young man was also quite good-looking. The previous wife had passed away along with the child during childbirth three years ago, losing both mother and child.

Not only did the couple of Qian Dagui and Old man Qian think highly of this young man, but Mandie herself was somewhat willing.

Qian Yixiu asked, "This family seems too good of a match. How come they’re interested in Auntie Die from the countryside?"

Lady Wu replied proudly, "Xiang Niang said that when she was negotiating with the Yu family, she mentioned that Auntie Die’s third uncle was the owner of the Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop and was very fond of his niece. The Yu family became a bit interested after hearing that..."

Qian Sangui was overjoyed that because of him his niece had found a good marriage prospect, laughing heartily several times.

Lady Wu admonished, "If the Yu family head really agrees to this marriage because of you, who knows what kind of trouble might fall on Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop in the future."
