Chapter 202: Meng Yunzheng's Gift

Shu Yu looked at the pile of cloth scraps in front of her and pondered for a moment. She figured she could make at least seven or eight dolls with these. The gifts sent by the Lü family were quite substantial, tightly packed together, which explained their weight. Shu Yu found a basket and stuffed all the completely unfolded cloth scraps into it. Then she turned her attention to the fourth gift box, which was sent by two soldiers. The box was square-shaped, not very large, and of moderate weight. Shu Yu reached out to open it and saw neatly folded silk inside. "What is this..." Shu Yu had bought a lot of fabric and silk, and she was familiar with the fabrics available in Jiangyuan County. But this silk was something she had never seen before. "This silk looks expensive," Liang Shi leaned over and said, "When presenting gifts to a high-ranking official, they pay attention to it. They know our shop sells ready-made clothes, so they gave us silk as a congratulatory gift. Clothes made from this silk can become a flagship product." The old lady glanced at her askew. "Those two soldiers are not here. What's the use of flattering?" However, the congratulatory gift from the high-ranking official did indeed make people reluctant to let go. The piece of cloth was not small, more than enough to make a set of clothes. Moreover, looking at the pattern, there was a lot of room for creativity. Satisfied, Shu Yu put away the fabric and finally turned her attention to the gift from Meng Yunzheng. His gift was ordinary and in line with expectations. Although it was not as heavy as the one from the Lu family, it still had some weight to it. Shu Yu opened it and looked inside, then froze for a moment. Before she could speak, Li Shi next to her said, "Why send writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones? Our family doesn't have anyone who reads, we can't use them at all. It's impractical, just gathering dust, isn't it?" Indeed, that young Master Meng seemed like an inexperienced scholar, so the things he sent were out of touch with reality. However, apart from them, the other members of the second branch were delighted. Especially Shu Yu, when she saw the calligraphy practice book and a scroll beneath the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones. She took out the calligraphy practice book and opened it, confirming that it was something beginners could use. Shu Yu called Da Hu over and said, "Second Sister had planned to take you to the bookstore in the next few days to have a look and buy you a set of writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone for you to use. However, Master Meng was thoughtful and sent them to you in advance. Take a look, do you like them?" Meng Yunzheng seemed to have a better understanding of these things than her. The inkstone he sent was quite valuable, and there were two pens beside it. One looked very delicate, while the other was a bit rough, obviously suitable for beginners. The remaining ink and paper were ordinary, perfect for practice. The old lady was delighted as she said, "It just so happens that our Da Hu is going to study. Master Meng's gift is so timely." Lu Erbai smiled and said, "I don't think it's a coincidence. Master Meng knew that we have a child who is about to begin his education. When the store is opened, Da Hu will certainly be sent to study, so he deliberately chose these items." Shu Yu also thought that Meng Yunzheng was considerate and thoughtful. However, when people from the third household of the Lü family heard their conversation, they widened their eyes in shock and exclaimed, "What? You're sending Da Hu to study?" The old lady glanced at them and said, "What's so surprising? Da Hu has reached that age, of course, he should study. Is it not good for our family to have an educated person?" (End of this chapter)
