Zhou Peigong is a cautious and low-key person, and he wants to go home after seeing his daughter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but was left by the prince. The prince has watched the entire "Chun History", and knows the ins and outs of the character of Zhou Peigong, his character, habits and future ending. Although I also know that a person's fate has a higher life arrangement than a person, and it is not something he can change. Zhou Peigong is now considered to be famous, and a Hanchen has reached the official rank of a first-class officer. The rulers of the Qing Dynasty made three Han vassal kings, but in the end, they didn't remove the vassals? In the future, no matter how great the credit is, Hanchen will not be crowned a king with a different surname. The title of Duke of Guo given to Tian Liang is just an empty title, that is, his ability is too great, and his contribution to the Qing Dynasty is too great, in fact, he wants to give him a few more money, which is more real than often piecemeal. Everything is the opposite, and when it reaches the peak, it will fall. According to the "History of the Qing Dynasty", Zhou Peigong completed the major event of persuading Wang Fuchen to surrender, plus the previous assessment of the rebellion of Prince Chahar, so these two major contributions are equivalent to saving the fate of the Qing Dynasty. But the emperor's favorite minister, the scholar Mingzhu, the most jealous person is Zhou Peigong, who always slanders Zhou Peigong in front of the emperor. said that Zhou Peigong might become the second Wu Sangui and let the emperor be careful of him. Later, the emperor was really suspicious that Zhou Peigong was coming. After Zhou Peigong Ding was worried about his mother's filial piety for three years, he was sent to Shandong to serve, but because of disagreement with the general soldiers, it was difficult to continue to work together, and he resigned and returned to his hometown in Jingmen after only three years in office.

In fact, at this time, he should have retreated bravely, he has completed his historical mission, and if he serves in the imperial court again, he will inevitably be framed by Mingzhu even more.

As a result, Zhou Peigong still cared about the political affairs of the imperial court after returning to his hometown, hoping that he could recover. Hearing that Geerdan, the leader of the northern ethnic minorities, led the people to oppose the Qing, he hurriedly wrote a "counterinsurgency note" and sent it to the capital to give Kangxi an idea to suppress the rebellion. His idea was adopted by Kangxi, and he was subsequently appointed as the governor of Shengjing, in charge of the border area. In fact, Kangxi was afraid that he was a Han Chinese, and he did have great talents, which was not conducive to Manchu rule. As a result, Zhou Peigong was depressed and had no achievements, and Kangxi died in office for forty years.

If you return to your hometown during this time, the next eleven years will be easy. Zhou Peigong is a very talented poet, and he is not short of life anymore, isn't it? Yes, dedication to the country is a high wind and bright festival, and there is nothing wrong with making contributions. But he didn't recognize a big thing, that is, he was Han, and the emperor was jealous of his talent, so it was better to find an opportunity to return to his hometown. As a result, he took a big step and was thrown away by Kangxi in Shengjing for eleven years. Let Sheng Jing's officials monitor him for any changes, why bother?

Mingzhu compared Zhou Peigong to a possible Wu Sangui, but he couldn't even stand the side. Can't ordinary character be proven? At least Zhou Peigong is not a capricious villain like Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui betrayed the lord to seek glory and put the Manchurians in Shanhaiguan, and Zhou Peigong has never betrayed anyone. Wu Sangui has Yunnan Province to entrench, what does Zhou Peigong have? If he resigns in Shandong, he is a bare pole, and there is not a single soldier, what conditions does he have to become the second Wu Sangui? was distrusted and had to fight hard, so he ended up depressed and died.

The prince felt sorry for Zhou Peigong very much, but there were some things that could not be said explicitly. He is the emperor's own uncle, and instead of defending the emperor, he gave Zhou Peigong ideas, which is probably not appropriate. Besides, the prince himself is a person with no position and no power. But he knew that Zhou Peigong was a wise person, and some small hints could still be understood, if he wasn't the governor of Shengjing, the second half of his life would be very easy.

At the dinner table, Zhou Peigong also said that he wanted to go back to Jingmen, and the prince asked him jokingly: "Don't you want to persuade Wu Sangui to surrender?" ”

Zhou Peigong laughed: "Is he the one who can persuade him to surrender?" If he could have been persuaded to surrender, all these years of fighting would have been in vain. ”

The prince asked him what his hobbies were, and Zhou Peigong said: "Xiaguan wants to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles in his life. Then draw a map of the Qing Dynasty and present it to the emperor. But I'm afraid that the emperor won't allow it. ”

The prince gave Zhou Peigong a set of drawing instruments that Yun'er bought, and said, "This thing may be useful when you have a day when you travel thousands of miles." In fact, the prince was reminding him to retreat bravely.

Who is Zhou Peigong? really understood what the prince meant, and not long after returning to Beijing, on the grounds of poor health, he asked Kangxi to go back to his hometown Jingmen to recuperate.

Where is Kangxi willing to give up? However, after the imperial doctor took Zhou Peigong's pulse, he said that Zhou Peigong was indeed sick. Zhou Peigong's illness was formed in the early years of hunger and cold, and his ambitions were not realized. In fact, I also understand that Zhou Peigong is good at judging the situation, retreating bravely from the rapids, and making great achievements without being jealous. He rewarded him with 10,000 taels of silver and let him go back to his hometown Jingmen.

Zhou Peigong has always been low-key, even when he returned to his hometown, he did not become a local gentry, but bought a bamboo forest in a beautiful mountain forest, built a house, read books and drawings every day, and often walked around, traveled all over the world, and finally entrusted the "Complete Map of the Qing Dynasty" drawn by eleven years of painstaking efforts to Kangxi. When Kangxi came to his senses and went to find Zhou Peigong and returned to the court, he didn't know where to go.

When Kangxi got the "Complete Map of the Qing Dynasty" painted by Zhou Peigong for eleven years, he immediately understood that he had wronged Zhou Peigong. But it was too late, and Zhou Peigong had no heart for him. Zhou Peigong in this space was very happy in his later years, enjoying the joy of raising his grandson, living eighty, and dying without illness.

At that time, the prince didn't say much to Zhou Peigong, and there was no need to say too much. A smart person can see through with a point.

Zhou Peigong never came back after leaving the capital, he was very relieved of his daughter, although his daughter was only a side room, and he was not worried about being spoiled. In fact, this is the best, people are not good for a thousand days, flowers are not red for a hundred days, and nothing is immutable. A married daughter can't always rely on her mother's family. Under the wings of Lord Rui, there will be no accidents for his daughter. Now the daughter is no longer lonely, and there is no dust under her eyes. I can get along with other little sisters, and I have long heard that the daughter of Li Peilin, the great talent of the Hanlin Academy, is a very talented girl, and she is very proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and now the two of them are actually doing needlework together and amicably.

Xue'er and Bing'er returned to the palace, and they still participated in the business of the palace every day. They registered the gems they had exchanged for ornaments and glass crafts on their second trip to Yunnan. Although it was sent back by air, it has not yet been officially put on sale. The jewelry store was established, and the ones sold were those that were exchanged for crochet flowers when I first went to Yunnan. The second time I went to Yunnan, only a small part of the gems were exchanged for crochet flowers, and more were exchanged for those handicrafts and ornaments bought by Yun'er. There are also gems of all kinds taken out of the belly of the python, and there are a lot of them. Gemstones are different from other goods, they cannot be sold in batches, and they have to be made into finished jewelry. And other projects in the house are also going to be carried out, and the cost of these gems is not clear, so I didn't do much.

Almost all of the ornaments brought by Cher were forcibly replaced: a small mill made of resin, and the shopkeeper gave ten rubies. An ornament with a lotus flower set in a glass ball actually gave twenty sapphires.

Cher once asked Mrs. Ashmita for advice, is it too high?

Mrs. Aamita said, "Your glass lotus ornament must have been replaced by an Indian." Indians believe in Buddhism more, and the lotus flower is the mascot of Buddhism. Moreover, no one here has ever seen such a delicate glass. The price of this thing is not dead, in the words of your Qing country is called "this time and that time", in the eyes of Indians, your glass lotus is a priceless treasure, then according to his meaning to give the price, if in the Qing country, you think his gems are valuable, you will give the Qing coins. ”

There are also boxwood carved Maitreya Buddha and resin material imitation jade cabbage, all of which have been exchanged for high prices. The Maitreya Buddha statue was replaced with twenty-eight sapphires, and the imitation jade cabbage was replaced by a large diamond, which is a diamond.

The two Indian ladies also exchanged their favorite ornaments from Bing'er and Xue'er. The first two were given to them by Cher. Because Cher has always felt that people who don't know resin and glass ornaments have overestimated the price, and they have suffered a loss, they forcibly bought things, and Cher can't find them back, so she can only make some compensation to the two Indian ladies. However, after the two took the ornaments away, they quickly returned the gifts, which were two exquisite jewelry boxes. The carvings on it are already beautiful, and there are many gemstones: transparent, white, red, yellow, blue, black, green, yellow-green, ...... They introduce Bing'er Xue'er to which is ruby, which is sapphire, which is cat's eye, and which is emerald. Cher thought the box was heavy, and when she opened it, she was shocked: it was full of small gems. The smallest ones are the size of millet grains and the size of mung beans, and they are finely crushed and irregular in shape. But Cher knows that these are real gems, and she has learned how to identify them.

The two Indian ladies also told Cher that the Indian royal family exchanged cotton and rice with the Nepalese royal family, and that India is rich in cotton and rice, and Nepal's geographical location is that the higher the terrain is the further north, the grain crops will not grow so highly. It is rich in gems and handicrafts, their country has natural gem minerals, and the Indian royal family buys gems from Nepal in a cart to pull back.

They also told the two of them that the diamond was the most valuable of all the gemstones, and its hardness was very high, and the equipment at that time had not been able to drill through the diamond. The condition of the diamond is not very good-looking, and the color is not gorgeous, that is, it will shine dazzlingly when exposed to sunlight at a certain angle.

Cher's ornaments were loved by Mrs. Ashmita, and they had never seen them in the capital of the Qing Dynasty, so it would be very profitable to bring them back to India. Saying this, Bing'er and Xue'er were a little relieved. In this way, Cher took out all kinds of ornaments for the two ladies to choose from. But they were so happy that they chose a jade Guanyin for the queen. This Jade Guanyin is not from an exotic land, but from the Qing Dynasty. The others are exotic, this is sent by Yun'er to the air, and whatever you need can be sent at any time.

There are many styles of other ornaments, such as glassware glasses, glass fruit plates, glass vases, glass swans, glass tea bottles, glass goldfish, glass beads, etc., as well as animal shapes of resin ornaments, elephants, cats, dogs, chickens and ducks, carriages, flower baskets, silk screen flowers, beckoning cats, etc., as well as wood carved Buddha statues, cloth Barbie dolls, embroidery, as well as copper galloping horses, muddy clay figures, etc., etc. These artefacts from 200 years later dazzled the two Indian ladies. These things are not too expensive according to the exotic price, the most is 1,800 yuan, and the less is dozens of yuan, more than a dozen yuan, or even a few yuan. But if it weren't for Master Gan Lin to bring it over across time and space, no matter how cheap it is, it won't be able to see it, so it's very precious.

The eyes of the two Indian ladies are not enough, they are people who have been in business for many years, they know what to make and what not to make, and they exchange what they think are cheaper gems, spices, and medicinal herbs for the reciprocal goods they like, and which are practical and practical. Neither side cared about the price. The result is all earned!

From Bing'er Xue'er, the two Indian ladies got all kinds of ornaments and cloth items they liked, and from the Indian lady, Bing'er Xue'er got more than a dozen boxes of jewelry boxes full of gems, thousands of catties of spices and precious medicinal materials. There are also large quantities of Indian cotton, cloth, rice, and so on. India's hot climate is ideal for growing cotton and rice. These are the necessities of people's life, and the price is very low.

Bing'er Xue'er used to buy fruit in Xishuangbanna, which is the county town of Jinghong, where there is a market with rough jadeite wrapped in a layer of weathered skin from the jade mines of Myanmar. During the Qing Dynasty, it was also very difficult to mine jadeite in Burma, and the rough jadeite was far less expensive than the exotic ones. However, jadeite jewelry is very valuable in the capital, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has equipment for cutting jadeite stones. Although it is a little behind, it is much stronger than nothing.

Burmese jadeite merchants sell jadeite rough and ready-made jadeite stones in Jinghong, as well as processed jadeite jewelry and jadeite jewelry. Bing'er, Xue'er and the two Eniang first communicated with the letter and asked them if they could buy some jadeite rough and process it into jewelry in the capital and sell it? Xue'er's eyes can see whether there is jadeite inside the rough stone, so that it will not be risky, and there is no need to use long-distance trafficking. This jadeite business is too easy to do, right? Xue'er selects jadeite among the many jadeite roughs, buys them at a low price, and sells them at a high price as jewelry. Crafting jewelry is also hard work.

At first, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, but later the people from the Internal Affairs Office told Kangxi that they thought it was strange. This kind of rough stone is purely a gambling stone, and most of the rough stones bought are "dead-hearted", that is, there is no jade at all. Why is there jadeite in the rough stone sent by Lord Rui? How did they know that Princess Runyu of the Great Qing Kingdom could see through the stone with her eyes inside? In this jade stone matter, Bing'er and Xue'er also made a lot of money for Kangxi. The southern goods store opened in Fushang specializes in selling goods from the southern provinces and India, Myanmar, Nepal and other countries.
