After seeing Bing'er, the two Indian ladies exchanged glances with each other, which meant that this young man was too handsome. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info James said: "Let me introduce the two ladies, this is the Zhao class master of the benevolent and righteous class, and he is also the little husband of the little fairy." ”

Bing'er protested: "Mr. James, you are not interesting enough, everyone calls me Bing'er, Xue'er and I were born one day, how can we be little husbands?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you Qing men are quite face-loving, I mean you're young, not that you're small, you misunderstood." James hastened to apologize.

"Eh, it's not easy. It seems that you are not very old, and you are all married? Marry at an early age like us in India." It seems that Mrs. Kieran is a quick talker

Mrs. Ashmita said, "I will order the goods that Kieran said I would order too!" ”

Xue'er hurriedly said: "Yes, Xue'er is very welcome to order!" You can order, and we will make money. But your order is too large, I don't have so many raw materials on my hands, and it may be raw materials that are not available here in Kunming. I may have it in my house, but you won't run to it, will you? ”

"What's that? We ordered your goods, wouldn't it be profitable to bring them back? Besides, we are about to go to the capital to do business, you write us a letter of recommendation, we go to your house, find the person in charge of ordering and hand over the letter to him, he can order, right? Otherwise. Do you know Mr. John Tang from Qin Tianjian? We write him a letter and he knows us and can prove our identity......"

Xue'er smiled: "You guys are too careful, we don't necessarily sell goods to people we know, you go to the house to find Manager Tian, give him our letter of recommendation, and then give him the deposit, it's okay." ”

"That's fine, we'll order it at your house, and then the people at your house will process it, isn't it the same?"

"Absolutely, you have more varieties to choose from in our house. It's just that you are running such a long road of 5,000 miles, isn't it too hard? ”

"You have to work hard to make money. We also have shops in the capital, and we can also ship our goods there. ”

"Oh? Do you also have a shop in the capital? What to run? Cher was curious.

"One is a gemstone, one is a spice, and then there is wood, which is rosewood. Your Qing officials attach great importance to rosewood furniture. It's just that the sales volume of gemstones is very small, and it's no wonder that people don't buy it, the price is too high. ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to drop it?"

"Dear little fairy, gems are very valuable things, and they are easy to be robbed on the road, and the distance is too far, and the cost of all aspects is too high, and it will not make money if you lower it. Spices are better to sell, after all, they can't be compared with gemstones. Precious stones and spices are the things that the lady and the lady of the family loved. Rosewood is okay, as long as it is transported to the place, it can be sold. You want to do this business too? ”

"It seems to be very difficult, one is too far, and the other is that the cost is too high. Forget it. "Cher doesn't want to do such a high-risk business.

"You are young and timid, but in fact, these businesses are very profitable. You don't have to go to India to buy precious stones, just exchange your hooked flowers and lace for gems and spices in the big bazaar in Kunming, and go from Kunming to Sichuan, through Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, or from Guizhou, Hubei, Henan to Hebei, and only four provinces to the capital. ”

"You're like a living map, huh? So familiar with the geography of the Qing Dynasty? "Cher admires Mrs. Kieran very much.

"I have been running these roads for more than ten years, and I hope you can also do a big business and make more money."

"But wouldn't it be bad for your shop if we did business in the capital?"

"You girl is so kind. Let me tell you, a few of the Indian guys and shopkeepers in our shop are desperate for someone to crush them so they can go back to India. Don't you worry about the wives and children at home, who are thousands of miles apart? I don't have the heart to run it. Besides, you are going to go to war with Wu Sangui soon, even I don't want to cross the war, making money is important, life is even more important, this time the goods were delivered, and after buying them, they all withdrew to India. ”

"You know the situation in the Qing Kingdom very well. What you just said is really tempting, my family is in the capital, and there are people in the family who are in business, but they are all engaged in food and cloth, and have never dabbled in gems, spices or anything, so I am a little scared. ”

"The kingdom of Nepal, which is adjacent to India, produces gemstones, and if you use Kunming as a springboard, it would be good to exchange your handicrafts for gems and spices in Kunming. If the conditions are good, you are responsible for the acquisition, and the special person is responsible for the transportation. It's much better than us, after all, it's homegrown. It's not difficult to do business, but it's hard to see the right time. If you want to do this business, I will talk to the king and queen, and give you the shop in the capital, and then I will be responsible for buying precious stones and spices from India, Nepal, and other countries, and exchanging them with your handicrafts or silk, porcelain, etc. ”

"It's a way to make money, but I have to discuss it with my parents at home, and I'm a girl who doesn't dare to call the shots."

"Isn't your husband a man?"

"When I say business, I mean my mother's family, and he is not good at making decisions."

"I forgot to ask you, what is your house called? I still don't know which house you are from. ”

Mr. James accosted: "Blame me for this matter, I haven't told you before, this little fairy is the big Gege of Prince Rui's mansion." ”

"Huh? Xue'er, are you Gege of Rui Wangfu? Then we'd be too disrespectful......"

"The two ladies don't have to be like this, I came out of the house and was kidnapped by bad people, this person sold me to a brothel, it was Bing'er who saved me, and then I didn't go back to the house, I have been following Bing'er to run the rivers and lakes, and I was an actor in Uncle Shi's juggling team. As soon as I arrived in Kunming, Wu Sangui's grandson asked me to perform a hall meeting for them alone, and then sent chasing soldiers to arrest us, and our performance was terminated and we went to Ami's hometown. But we still have to eat, right? I started a small business, and our raw materials were all brought by my mother, grandfather, brother and uncle when they came to save me, and I was afraid that if we didn't go well in the performance, we didn't have anything to eat, and the quantity was very small, so I ......"

"Little fairy, I know, your house is Rui Wangfu, and your father is Rui Wangye. Your father is now helping the emperor make money, so admirable! It's really a high-spirited festival. ”

"You're overrated."

"If you really want to go to the capital to order, I will write you a letter of recommendation, and you can find Mr. Tian."

"Very well, the order was decided like this? In the future, I myself may settle in the Qing Kingdom and then stay there to do business. But the border provinces of the Qing State may still have to run often. With Mr. James, we won't be disconnected, right? ”

"No, no, we may have to stay here for a while."

"You can make money with this flower and lace. It would be better if there were other goods. ”

"What else are you referring to?" Cher liked Lady Kieran's bluntness, and Lady Ashmita's bluntness, but she rarely spoke.

"Your handicrafts, for example, are called sachets, purses, embroidery, jewelry, and so on. Your country has a long history and deep cultural connotations, so there are many skilled craftsmen. ”

"What do you mean by jewelry?"

"It's the gold, silver, jade, and pearl hairpins, earrings, bracelets, necklaces that women wear on their heads, and my favorite is the kind of jewelry you call Bu Shao, which looks good on your head. There are too many skilled craftsmen in your Qing Kingdom, and the most important thing I did when I arrived in your capital was to visit the jewelry store, which was really dazzling, and I couldn't decide which one to buy. Little fairy, you are so beautiful and have such a high family, why don't you wear a few beautiful jewelry? ”

"I also have a few pieces of jewelry, but we are all wandering people, and dressing up to the outside will attract attention."

"You're so right. I wonder if we can take a look at your jewelry? If you don't mind. ”

"Yes, but I can say it in advance, my jewelry is not very valuable, don't laugh at the two of you, you wait for me to get it."

Xue'er just wants to push out all kinds of hairpins, necklaces, bracelets and other things that the little lady in the house taught everyone to make, as well as the alloy and titanium jewelry. It should have been sold, or it would have to be taken care of on the way back, and I was worried that the robbers would not have the best thing.

"Wow! Pretty to death! "Mrs. Kieran always looks like he's making a fuss. They must be familiar with the jewelry of the Qing Dynasty, but the jewelry of the exotic land must have never been seen before.

"Little fairy, you still say that your jewelry is not valuable? What kind of value does such jewelry have if it is not worth much? I suggest you exchange them for gems and spices! ”。

Mrs. Ashmita was also surprised: "The little fairy introduced me? ”

"You two, don't call me a little fairy, I can't bear it. My name is Cher, and I was born with a heavy snowfall in the winter. ”

"Okay, let's call you Xue'er, you come and tell us how to use these beautiful jewelry."

"The two of you are wearing buns, which are very similar to the hairstyles of the Han women we have there, so Sister Ami will trouble you to get a mirror, which is the one I photographed."

Ami hurriedly went to get it, and came back and handed it to Cher. The two ladies called out again: "Miss Cher, how can this mirror of yours be so clear?" It's like I've gone in there myself. ”

"Doesn't your country have one? This is made of glass. ”

"No, no, no. Our mirrors are all brass. Sorry to interrupt you, please introduce jewelry. ”

"You must know this, it's a necklace."

"It's so beautiful, what kind of material is this?"

"This one is based on the color, and there are several materials. This transparent bead is glass, this drum-like is ceramic, this kind of flat and round one you know is agate, and this middle one is a jade pendant, anyway, the large and small beads are worn together, and it becomes a necklace, I put it on my wife to see the effect. ”

"Looks good!" Mrs. Ashmita admired it for a moment and quickly took it off.

"You have this agate bracelet, right?"

"There are agate, there are such small pieces of agate that are worn together, and there is no elastic rope with this agate that wears agate. It seems simple, but it's actually something that is rare. What is this? Oh my God, these are flowers made of silk! ”

"Yes, these are indeed made of satin, but they are all fixed on this elastic rubber ring, so that a set is worn on your hair bun, this is called a garland, and it is used by our Han women. Do you like it? ”

"I like it, I like it, it's so beautiful."

"Does Mrs. Ashmita like it?"

"Needless to say, it's the first time we've seen such simple and beautiful jewelry."

"These two garlands will be given to the two ladies."

"How good is that? It must be expensive, right? We give ......"

"Stop! I'll tell you first, it's not expensive at all, and then tell you, I'm glad you like me. ”

"Thank you, thank you! This is a pearl, right? ”

"This is called a hairpin, so when worn on the sideburns, it can fix the broken hair, and it can also play a beautiful role. This is not a pearl, it is made of a different material, and the effect is very similar to that of a pearl, but it is lighter than the weight of a pearl. You like one for everyone. ”

"How embarrassing is that?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, we're already friends, so you're welcome. This one is called a fungus edge garland. It is also put on the bun, its color is not very conspicuous, and it is suitable for older people to wear. ”

"And this, it should be called Bu Shao, this is what my mother brought back from Yunyou, it's called alloy jewelry."

"Oh my God! Is there such beautiful jewelry? Cher is shining in her hand, if you wear ......"

"You girl, you have such beautiful jewelry! What is the material of this row of transparent beads below? ”

"This one should also be crystal glass."

"This piece of jewelry must be expensive, right?"

Where does Cher know how much money? It was left by the small mother.

"I'm sorry, my mother gave me this, I don't know how much."

"Can you give it to me? I'll give you three thousand taels. ”

"Don't! Too much! Although I don't know the price, it will definitely not be worth three thousand taels. ”

"You girl is so stupid! If you want to sell, and people give you 3,000 taels, you must have 5,000, even if it's not worth it, you have to push it away? ”

"No, two ladies, I think it's right to make money, business is to make money, but there seems to be such a line, it's not good to exceed."

"A line? What line? ”

Xue'er can't say: "The bottom line of morality", that will offend people deeply. So I put it another way: "I have an uncle who runs a cloth farm. When he measured the cloth, he cut it on the outside of the size they wanted. Some people say that he is stupid, that he will not do business, and that he will lose all his money in the future. But he has been in business for more than ten years, and the business is getting better and better. Not only did it not pay compensation, but the store also expanded, and there were many repeat customers, whether it was the elderly or children, the poor or the rich. Later, our Emperor Shunzhi inscribed a plaque on him, and his business was even better. ”

"Can you tell us the name of this cloth village? In what location? When I come to your capital, I must see your uncle. ”

"His cloth village is called 'Yulong Cloth Village', on the street of Qianmen Street. His surname is Chen, he is in his thirties, and he is a scholar. Two, if you don't think our family is simple, just have a light meal here, it's already ready. Please taste our Qingguo food, I don't know if you can rest assured? ”

"What's so embarrassing about that? It's not that I'm not worried, I didn't even bring a gift when I met for the first time. ”

"Then the two are polite, Mr. James? Where did you go? ”

"Mr. James is learning to weave straw sandals in the backyard." Ami told Cher.

"You let them all come, and start eating."
