Chapter 43: Prepare for the road ahead
Early the next morning, Jiang Suoyue got up, served by Pearl to freshen up, and drew in front of the bookcase, Pearl was wondering why Miss got up early in the morning to paint, and saw Miss put down her pen and instructed her: "Call Coral in." ”
Coral came in from outside and asked, "What does the young lady command?" ”
Because Jiang Suoyue is now a royal person, it is inconvenient to see the foreign minister, although Jiang Zhaolin is her father, it is better to avoid it if there is nothing to do, so he only folded the map he had just drawn and handed it to Sango, and said: "You go to find the master, just say that I have a great use for the things in the picture, let the master go to the Hu merchants walking in the capital to find it, regardless of whether it is a flower or a ready-made sesame oil and ointment, just have the smell of this thing, don't let others see it." ”
Coral agreed.
After breakfast, Mama Xi came to Jiang Suoyue to teach her the etiquette of the court, sitting, lying and behaving, all of which were many rules, and she had to make a beautiful manners.
said that Coral found Jiang Zhaolin in the front yard, handed over the paper, and conveyed Jiang Suoyue's meaning.
Jiang Zhaolin took the paper and said, "I know, let the young lady rest assured, this will be searched." ”
After sending the coral back, Jiang Zhaolin opened it and saw that it seemed to be a kind of grass, with long and narrow leaves, and dense purple flowers growing on the flower stem, with a note on the side that "there is a strange fragrance". Although he really couldn't recognize what this was, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately ordered the housekeeper Jiang Qiao to take the little guys to look for it.
Jiang Qiao got the master's order, found someone to draw a few copies of the map, and took the small servants to the West Market where the Hu merchants gathered to look for it.
Although Kyushu is called Kyushu, in fact, there are 54 large and small state capitals under the nine large states, which can be described as vast, rich in products, and also porcelain-making, smelting, textiles and so on.
But Jiang Qiao led people to find many shops but couldn't find them, and he couldn't help but sweat, the master said that this thing is extremely important, if you can't find it, how can you go back to pay the errand? I had to be patient and search for it one by one, and finally when the sun was in the west, a Hu merchant said that he had seen this thing.
He told Jiang Qiao that this grass grows in his wife's hometown, and after being bitten by mosquitoes, if people are bitten by mosquitoes, if they apply the juice of this grass, it can reduce swelling and relieve itching, and the locals make it into a balm and use it. Because he was out of business, and slept in the open, his wife prepared a lot of this ointment for him to carry.
Jiang Qiao was overjoyed when he heard this, so he bought all the balms with a lot of money, a total of eight boxes, all of which were contained in tin boxes the size of rouge boxes.
In the evening, Jiang Zhaolin listened to Jiang Qiao's resumption, and was surprised that it was just something to relieve itching, why did the six girls say it so important. But considering that Jiang Suoyue has always been a successful person, and her current identity is not what it used to be, she didn't ask too much, so she sent a little girl to Jiang Saoyue.
Now Jiang Suoyue has to learn the rules from Mama Xi during the day, and she can only be free at night, and this little girl named Yinzhu is indeed at the right time.
Yinzhu came to the courtyard of Miss Six, and saw that there were many people in the house, and there were still a few mothers-in-law standing outside, and there were cages on the ground, so she was surprised, but she didn't dare to look around.
Sango, who was standing at the door, saw her and asked, "Are you the silver pearl from the front yard?" But what's the matter with finding a young lady? ”
Yinzhu nodded, handed over the box he was holding, and replied, "The master will send something to the young lady with a slave." ”
Sango knew it, took the box, and said, "I know, I'll give it to Miss, you can go." ”
Coral entered the house with the box, put it on the table in front of Jiang Suoyue, and said, "Miss, this is sent by the master." ”
Jiang Suoyue snorted, and glanced at Mama Wu and Rumei who were standing on the side, they were sent by the Jiang Tian clan to give her a dowry, and before she could elaborate, the people sent by her father arrived.
Mama Wu is not obvious, that Rumei's eyes look at the box on the table from time to time, I can't wait to know what is inside, go back to tell Mrs., but it is a pity that Miss Six did not open it, so she didn't even look at it.
Jiang Suoyue continued what she had just said and said, "There is Mama Lao. ”
Mama Wu hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare." "Anyway, I gave Rumei a color.
Rumei walked to the door and instructed the mother-in-law, "Carry it in." ”
A few mothers-in-law who carried the cage came in one after another, and they came and went several times, and a total of eight boxes were brought in.
When the mothers-in-law went out, Mama Wu put the makeup and jewelry boxes she was holding on the table in front of Jiang Suoyue, and said: "This is the rouge gouache and jewelry that Madame bought for Miss Six, the four boxes are newly made clothes for the four seasons, the two boxes are rulers, and the last two boxes are some ornaments, and some other appreciative stubborn things." ”
Jiang Suoyue bowed her head and said: "Mrs. Lao added it for her daughter, and Mama thanked Mrs. on my behalf." ”
Mama Wu smiled attentively: "The noble little master is polite." After that, he took out a flat small box from his arms, handed it forward and said: "Madame said, after all, it is different from the ordinary daughter's family to marry, it is not good to buy a field shop, the silver in this box is for the noble little master to spend, and I hope the noble little master will not shirk." ”
Jiang Suoyue sneered in her heart, although it is different from ordinary people who marry daughters, but they can also bring dowries into the palace, and some people marry their daughters as usual, and they usually marry the fields and shops, and they are still taken care of by their families, and they send silver into the palace every year. But even if he didn't enter the palace, the Eda clan would never give Tian a shop, so thinking about it, as long as the silver was not too small, it was reasonable, so he let the pearl take the box and put it away.
When Mama Wu left, Jiang Saoyue opened the box, which was silver tickets of different denominations, adding up to a total of 30,000 taels, which was not too little, so she didn't look at it anymore and closed the box.
I opened the jewelry box again, and for a while, the jewels were so dazzling that people's eyes were spent. After taking it out carefully, Jiang Suoyue snorted coldly, she knew that the Jiang Tian clan would naturally not bother with her, but she didn't want her to be ignorant of current affairs until now.
There are enough gold and jade gemstones, and presumably Jiang Tian didn't dare to let Jiang Zhaolin know that she had withheld the dowry she had brought into the palace. But most of these jewelry styles are old, obviously there is a silver building in the Jiang family's industry, managed by the second uncle Jiang Zhaosong, the business is good, and some new styles will be produced every year, but the Jiang Tian family still chooses these old styles. There are several phoenix patterns in the jewelry, although the folk are not very particular about the phoenix pattern, but the only one who can wear the phoenix in the palace is the queen of the palace. If there is an occasional violation, it is okay if no one is held accountable, and if someone is embarrassed and deliberately pursued, I am afraid that her little life can be taken into it.
Jiang Suoyue was angry in her heart, it seemed that this Jiang Tian clan was not dead in her heart, and repeatedly used some means against her, but she was afraid that she would fall for this person's trick if she was negligent, and she didn't know what benefit she would do to her by harming herself like this.
In fact, there is no benefit to it, but women's jealousy is so unjustified that it makes people lose their minds.
Jiang Suoyue walked to the bookcase and thought about it for a while, and decided to re-customize a few pieces of jewelry that were not available or suitable for her at the moment. After thinking about it, he took out the pen and paper and drew it, and drew it for two hours before putting down the pen, and got a total of eight or nine drawings.
Before falling asleep, she took out the box sent by Jiang Zhaolin again, took out the tin box inside, and gently unscrewed it, and a scent of lavender wafted out. She sighed in her heart, and sure enough, she still found it, hoping that her plan would work, but it would not disappoint her to bother to find this thing.
