Chapter 316: Chapter 194: Making the Best Use of Everything_2

He also said that the fragrance essence from the Dragon Fragrance Tree was suitable for men, so he would make it into a men’s fragrance. However, these few leaves could only make two small bottles.

Every sentence from Master Jin was like a steel needle, piercing Qian Yixiu with pain. At that time, she had only wanted to bring back the Serpent Vine Chrysanthemum safely, never considering that the thing capable of suppressing its fragrance might also be a treasure.

Nevertheless, Qian Yixiu didn’t dare let Monkey Brother risk further danger by retrieving that Dragon Fragrance Branch. Such a fragrant branch could lead to unknown troubles on the way back.

Indeed, it confirmed the old saying, "What’s yours will be yours, and what’s not will never be."

Qian Yixiu didn’t dare show the Bai Zhu and Pink Pearl to Qian Sangui just yet, as these objects were too heaven-defying. She would deal with them later. After sorting through the slightly inferior pearls, there were eight pearls, each worth more than a thousand taels, and more than sixty, each worth a hundred taels.

Grandfather Sangui was overjoyed when he saw these dozens of pearls, whispering, "Just this small pouch of pearls is worth more than ten thousand silver, worth more than all of our family’s properties."

Qian Yixiu laughed, "Pearls are inanimate; they cannot generate money. But properties are alive; they will earn more and more, and they will surely be worth more than the pearls when accumulated."

Qian Sangui took out four large pearls and twenty small ones, leaving the rest with Qian Yixiu to take quietly to her husband’s family in the future. He instructed her to keep the place that produced pearls, Golden Lotus Roots, Golden Honey Peaches, and Spiritual Objects a secret in her heart, never to be revealed to anyone.

He would find an excuse for his use of the pearls in his hands, whether for personal use or to pass on to the next generation.

In addition, he said that after receiving treatment from the Old Fairy, his health had improved considerably, and perhaps he wouldn’t die so soon. Thus, Qian Yixiu should continue to manage her dowry jointly with the family business, as this could generate even more profit. They would make a complete separation after her marriage.

This was also what Qian Yixiu wanted. The family had given her immense love, and she would do her utmost to make the family business even better.

Qian Hua had already left for Capital City, and Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop would open a branch there next year, mainly selling Liancourt Cosmetics. Not only had Shopkeeper Cui written to ask friends in Capital City for help, but Liang Shi, the ever-faithful attendant of Liang Zechong, had also written a letter asking the steward of Liang Mansion for assistance.

Qian Yixiu believed that with the help of Liang Mansion, Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop had nothing to fear in Capital City.

Moreover, the Peach Tree Branch had already been grafted onto the peach trees behind the Water Pavilion. Although it wasn’t the ideal time for grafting, given the circumstances, they would have to let as much survive as possible.

The excuse given to others was that the Peach Tree Branch had been a gift from the Old Monk, and where exactly he had gotten it, Qian Yixiu did not know.

Apart from those few large pearls and the Dragon Fragrance Tree, she had made full use of the items from the Cave Sky Pool.

As Qian Yixiu pondered these matters, she saw Monkey Sister hopping in. Its leg had healed, though its gait was still slightly limp.

Monkey Sister was wearing a small white jumper dress embroidered with red strawberries. This was a handiwork by Qian Yixiu, Zi Zhu, and Bai Zhu; Zi Zhu cut the fabric, Bai Zhu embroidered it, and Qian Yixiu sewed it together.

The little dress was extremely beautiful, bu t it could only be worn by monkeys, not people, in this time period.

In Monkey Sister’s hand was a small wooden bowl holding a little piece of Golden Lotus Root. It approached Qian Yixiu and offered her the lotus root.

Qian Yixiu smiled, "Monkey Sister, eat it yourself, sister doesn’t want it."

Hearing this, Monkey Sister sat on a small stool and ate on its own.

These days, Monkey Sister was the most beloved little monkey in Guiyuan, surpassing even people in popularity. While mischievous, it was also endearing, which was entirely different from Monkey Brother, who could be both annoying and aggressive. Whether it was their master, servants, or workers, anyone who saw it couldn’t help but bend down to tease it, and it would amicably interact with them, unlike Monkey Brother who would hit people he looked down upon or ignore them.

After Monkey Sister finished eating the Golden Lotus Root, Qian Yixiu passed it a bowl with a Golden Honey Peach. Once it was finished, it automatically stood up and went to find a maid to wash its hands and wipe its mouth.

This was truly a clever monkey.

Monkey Brother was heading into the mountains again with Dashan and Tiaotiao, but with Monkey Sister’s presence, it wouldn’t stay away too long, returning home every three to five days.

Just then, someone reported that Little Master Hongji from Daci Temple had arrived, and asked Qian Yixiu to meet him in the front courtyard.

On hearing this, Qian Yixiu quickly got up and hurried to the front courtyard. The Old Monk and Zhang Zhongkun had been behind closed doors making medicine for many days, and according to the Last Monk who came, they were not receiving visitors, not even letting Liang Zechong see the Spiritual Objects.
