Most people would just give an insincere eighteen coppers as a token of goodwill, while some stingy people would merely give eight, content with completing a formality. Those who could give thirty coppers were considered extraordinarily generous.
Yonghe gave a hundred coppers, which was an extremely face-saving gesture.
It's not that everyone else are narrow-minded, vulgar people, but in reality, giving the hundred coppers really evidenced the high regard he held for this matter.
The reason for such importance was because the child was Mrs. He's elder nephew.

Even if Mrs. He wasn't overly concerned about face, such complimentary words would undoubtedly be better to hear than nothing at all.
