Chapter 238: Becoming a Little Rich Man
Hearing this, Cheng Yiyue pondered for a long time, Lin Bining and Bi Chang grew up in different environments, and their education was also different, Lin Bining's personality was stronger than Bi Chang's, and she was a smart person, so she should be able to live well in the palace.

Even if Lin Bining and Bai Yi didn't make it to the end, with the Shen family here, it didn't matter if they took them home to eat and drink well for a lifetime.
So, she didn't persuade Lin Bining and Bai Yi to separate, and agreed to the two of them.
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Bining accompanied Cheng Yiyue and Shen Yunhong to breakfast, and the housekeeper Shen Bo smiled and sent a few ordinary wooden boxes, saying that they were a meeting gift from the islanders to the little lady.
She opened it and saw that it was all pearls the size of a gourd, and each box was full of pearls, about a hundred or so grains, so frightened that she hurriedly pushed these boxes back, shook her head and said: "I can't accept such a valuable gift, please ask Uncle Shen to give it back to the islanders for me, just say that I have received it, and the gift is not necessary." ”
Shen Bohaha laughed twice and said, "Who doesn't have a few boxes of pearls, this is nothing, just accept it, if you don't accept it, they will think you look down on them." There are still a lot of people out there who give gifts, so I'll take them for the little lady first. ”
As soon as the words fell, a little maid came to look for Uncle Shen, and someone really came to give gifts, so he bowed with a few people and retreated.
Seeing Lin Bining and a few boxes of round and shining pearls staring at each other, Shen Yunhong smiled and said, "Since it is their intention, Ning'er, you can accept it." ”
Cheng Yiyue squinted her eyes and smiled: "Bi Chang, this lazy girl, must not have introduced Yueyun Island to you." ”
"Well," Lin Bining put away the pearl boxes, shook her head and said, "Godmother said that Yueyun Island is a small place, there is nothing fun, there are a lot of delicious things, as for the rest, she didn't tell me." ”
"That's it, she never cares about the family's property, even if she tells you, she can't tell you clearly, so I'll tell you about it."
Cheng Yiyue blew her cup, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "The islanders on our Yueyun Island make a living from cultured pearls, and it can be said that eighty percent of the seawater pearls on the market in Xiayang are provided by the Shen family. The pearls that the Shen family bought from the islanders were sold to pharmacies and jewelry gold and silver houses of average quality, while those of high quality were kept in their own Yunyue Building and sold as jewelry rings. ”
"Yunyue Tower!" Lin Bining exclaimed slightly, "Is it the jewelry building that only sells one piece of jewelry no matter what?" ”
Cheng Yiyue smiled and nodded: "Exactly, Ning'er also knows, it seems that Shangdu's business is not bad." ”
Lin Bining nodded heavily, not only is the business good, it is simply priceless!
There is only one piece of jewelry in Yunyue Building, such as earrings, rings, Yingluo, hairpins, etc., and it will never be the same after it is sold, so it is very popular with the nobles and daughters of famous families, after all, no one wants anyone to wear the same jewelry as themselves, and they like unique things.
Basically, the new jewelry from Yunyue Building will be bought in less than three days. The counter was empty, and only a thick pile of patterns was too ugly, and later the store was sold with uncarved pearls, corals, clams, etc. Every three months, the building will launch a well-designed, exquisite ornament, half a month's notice to go out, and then through the auction form, the highest price will be awarded.
She really didn't expect this Yunyue Tower to be her grandfather's family, it was really surprising.
Xu is Lin Bining's surprised expression was too interesting, even Shen Yunhong laughed, and added: "In addition to Shangdu, there are four or five jewelry buildings like this in our Shen family." ”
Lin Bining was so shocked that she didn't know what to say, Cheng Yiyue smiled and said, "Okay, don't talk about these boring things, let's go find Bi Chang and take you around the island well." ”
She nodded in agreement and found Bi Chang to hang out on the island together, Bai Yi was dragged by Xu Yenan to play chess and did not come out with him.
It took them an hour and a half to walk around the island, and every one of the islanders they met greeted Lin Bining warmly, making her face stiffen with laughter, and after returning to the Shen Mansion, she rubbed it for a long time before she eased up.
At the end of the day, every household on the island gave Lin Bining a greeting gift, the most received were pearls, and some were coral trees, and she liked one of the pink pearls the size of a pigeon's egg the most, and two rare purple pearls, the color was as beautiful as irises.
It took a stick of incense for Lin Bining to pack up the gifts, looking at the two half-person-high boxes full of cages on the ground, and shaking her head funny, just by receiving a greeting gift, she became a little rich man, these islanders are really generous.
Lin Bining and Bai Yi lived on the island for more than ten days before leaving Yueyun Island, and the two boxes of gifts could not be taken away, so they were placed on the island first, and when the Shen family delivered the goods to Shangdu, they would take them to Yunyue Tower, and then Lin Bining would go directly to Yunyue Tower to pick them up.
Cheng Yiyue gave her a complete piece of jade, which symbolized the Shen family. If Lin Bining has no money, take this to the shopkeeper of Yunyue Building, and without reporting, she can withdraw 10,000 taels of silver at any time.
She admonished Lin Bining, and then walked to the side with Bai Yi to talk, without any concern for his identity as the prince of loyalty, and warned him not to bully Lin Bining.
Bi Chang reluctantly pulled this newly acquired cheap daughter, and told her to be careful on the road, to keep letters coming and going, and to go to Shangdu to see her when she and Xu Yenan came next year.
Autumn pearls to be inserted, winter to collect pearls, this is the busiest time on the island, the eldest brother and sister-in-law's family is not there, she can't go away, otherwise she will follow Lin Bining all the way to play.
The boat is getting farther and farther away, Yueyun Island is gradually disappearing into the mist, Lin Bining stands on the bow of the boat and watches, the time to get together with relatives is always short, and I don't know when we will see each other again in the future.
Bai Yi hugged her shoulder, let her rest her head on her shoulder, looked into the distance and said: "Yueyun Island has no quarrel with the world, and the islanders are warm and generous, it is really a good place to escape from the world." When we are old in the future, we will come here to enjoy our old age and be a simple and happy fisherman couple, what does Ning'er think? ”
Lin Bining nodded with half-closed eyes: "Okay, I like it here." ”
After traveling in April, seven months passed in a hurry, and Lin Bining also walked to the southernmost tip of Xia Yang, returned to Zhangcheng from Yueyun Island, and began to prepare to return to Shangdu from the central part.
There have been dangers and joys along the way, and after hardships, she finally found her and her brother's biological mother, and reunited with her grandmother and grandfather, which is the most joyful thing. She also found out Zeng Chengliang's origin, although she did not find out the real reason why he hated the Lin family, but she was not far from cleaning him up.
The only regret is that the answer to "why is incense making" that she has searched for is still nowhere to be found, and she will have to hurry up to find this answer when she returns.
