According to Prince An's proposal, a domestic store was opened in the mansion, and people in the mansion could buy things in their own stores, and other family members of the royal palace and the Guogong Mansion could also come here to buy things. However, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and his family members are not qualified to enter the Rui Wangfu to buy things, because there are too many people in this part, and they may take the opportunity to blend in with the bad guys. No, Prince An and Prince Jane both came to the house to "shop" together.

"Second brother, how did you get these things back? The waterways of the Grand Canal? Prince An asked.

"Fourth, your imagination is very rich, these things are clearly made by the girls and grandmothers in the house, and the Grand Canal, don't you see that some of the cloth on it is not as big as a palm? I'm going to come back with some bits and pieces? "That means the cloth of the Qing Dynasty, the technology of the exotic.

"You said that these beautiful needlework was done by the girls in your house, but no matter how clever the girls are, they won't sew out the stitches as big as they are, right?"

"You can do it, you can see it, your eyes are quite good!"

Prince An smiled and said, "Second brother, you have been out of the door, and you can even tell jokes." ”

Prince Jian was afraid that Prince An would forget Fang Cai's words: "Still talking about stitches, don't go off-topic." ”

The prince said: "Jidu, you are a big man who is so concerned about needlework? ”

"Can you explain why the pins are so big? Is it hand-sewn? ”

"Father-in-law Fuzi, you go to the side of Fujin and ask for a few pocket sewing machines."

"What are you talking about, Lord Wang? The minions can't remember. "Father-in-law Fuzi is very embarrassed.

The prince shook his head, took out a palm-sized square notebook and a pen from his arms, and wrote on them, "Four pocket sewing machines, as soon as possible." He tore off one and handed it to Fuzi, and took it to Yun'er.

The notebook and pen in the prince's hand were snatched away by Prince Jane: "Let's give this good thing to my brother." Is this a pen? Looks like you didn't dip in ink, did you? Do you write another one? ”

"This is a notepad, this is a gel pen, there are already refills in it, and it is very convenient to take it and write."

"Hey, it's not bad, just write it, it's so convenient."

"Give it a try." Prince An was very skillful, and snatched it at once, and wrote awkwardly: "This is too thief to take." ”

The prince took it with a smile and demonstrated to Prince An: "You can't pinch your thumb, index finger, and middle finger like you like a brush to write." ”

"Hey! It's so convenient, and it saves effort and ink, and this belongs to me. ”

"How did you do this brother...... Prince Jane was dissatisfied.

"Don't argue, Father-in-law Luzi, you ask Prince An and Prince Jian for two notepads each, yes, I'll write them down."

"Four notepads, two gel pens, and two boxes of refills." Tear it off and hand it to the little eunuch Luzi, Fuzi and Luzi are all little eunuchs in the Fujin Courtyard.

Prince Jane's ridicule came up again: "I said Second Brother Fuyou, who is the person in charge of your mansion?" Why do you want a notebook, you have to write a note to the side Fujin for instructions? ”

"You're a fussy guy. The things I bought back from the foreign land were all bought by the antiques of Mr. Chen, the father of Fu Jin, and the money from that side was exchanged for the money there, so it seems unreasonable to let Fu Jin be in charge, right? Besides, Fujin's residence enters the hall is a staircase, and things are placed in the ground, so people can't go upstairs? You won't say that I am a spoiled concubine and a wife, right? ”

"There's a story here, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my brother is reckless. However, this Mr. Chen is really not simple, he has given you all his antiques, and he is very high. ”

Father-in-law Fuzi came back, ran sweaty, handed over the pocket sewing machine to the prince, and stood aside to listen to the instructions.

The prince looked at the pocket sewing machine brought by Fuzi, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, even the cloth and sewing thread for practice have been brought." Yue Le, you will give two of you alone, and I will demonstrate it to you. ”

"Hey, what kind of family is this? How is it weird? Prince Jane looked like he was making a fuss.

"What are you talking about, listen to what the second brother has to say." Prince An glared at Prince Jane.

"You two see this little thing, right? It is to make a living, first sewing needle. As he spoke, he used a pocket sewing machine to sew a piece of cloth that was used as a test for a needle code. This is called a pocket sewing machine, and pocket means small. This is the axis, pull it over like this, go to this needle, sew the needle, and then lift the presser foot, put this cloth in, put down the presser foot, press this beam, press it and a needle will come out, all of which are generally large stitches, see it? ”

Jidu's eyes glared at the boss: "It's really amazing, hey, sure enough, the needle size is the same size, such a big gadget can do needlework!" I'll try, don't rob it, fourth brother, how old are you and still robbing things with your younger brother? ”

Prince An glanced at Prince Jane: "Protect the dog." ”

Prince Jian didn't dare to try it, for fear that Prince An would snatch it away, so he carried the two pocket sewing machines into his arms. Prince An also put the pocket sewing machine in place, and then the two of them hugged their fists and saluted the prince: "Thank you, second brother!" ”

"You two are desperate, don't forget what you're doing."

"Since I can buy things at your house, there's no hurry." Prince An smiled and said, "There are eight two-inch-high transparent objects in your gift to the brother's mansion, and they are too small to drink water, but they are really delicate and clear, and there are no impurities at all." What the hell is that thing for? ”

"Wine glasses, not tea-drinking. When you see boiling water, you may fry. ”

"Will it blow up? Is it powerful? Can it hurt someone? Prince An looked worried.

The prince laughed: "You are sorry for your life, how much power can such a small thing have if it is blown up?" When I say explosion, it's cracked, it's out of the lines. ”

Prince An touched his nose embarrassedly, and suddenly there was a problem again: "Second brother, there are two such tall, handled, and shiny cups for drinking water in your gift to your brother, right?" ”

The prince smiled: "The fourth brother really has a lot of experience, and he even knows the cup of drinking water." ”

Prince An and Prince Jane were amused by the prince.

The prince said, "It's made of stainless steel, and it's strong." Have you noticed, opened the lid of the cup and there is something that looks like a small sieve, that is for the tea leaves, pour the boiling water for a while, and make the tea almost done, then take the sieve aside and start drinking tea, the tea can be brewed again when the tea is gone, and you don't have to pluck the tea foam. ”

"There's a small sieve, which was originally used to make tea, but why is the handle of the teacup on the side, isn't it biased?" Prince Jane looked like he was earnestly asking for advice.

"And where do you put the teacup?"

"One on each side is fine."

The consignment store is naturally not comparable with the formal merchants, and there are a lot of goods on the shelves, most of which are women's needles, threads, hairpins, rings, jewelry, etc., all of which are wholesaled from exotic Yiwu small commodity manufacturers.

There are many women and children in Prince An's mansion, and I really want to buy something here, but I am embarrassed. If you say to buy it, Lord Rui will definitely not give it away, so much is not good, people put the money in it, and he also seems stingy.

"The two Chitose can take whatever they like, and this king will pay."

"After you come back, this new word in your mouth is a handful, what is paying?"

It's about spending money. When the people there finished eating at the restaurant, they shouted: "Waiter, pay the bill." That's what it means to settle the bill. ”

"Why don't you listen to what our people in the Qing Dynasty say?"

"It's another country over there, so naturally the rules and words are different from ours."

Prince Jane's interest was very high: "Second brother Fuyou, can you tell the brothers?" ”

"I know what you're going to hear? There has to be a main theme, right? ”

"Hey, you're more knowledgeable than those scholars in the country."

The prince's big fan tapped lightly on Prince Jian's head: "Speaking of learning, this king is not next to this king, this king is a Shaolin lay disciple who practices martial arts." ”

Prince An hurriedly asked: "Can you tell me how the emperor over there governs the country?" In that dynasty, the emperor left his brother behind, and when he talked about the country you went to, he said that there were 1.3 billion people but no emperor, and the country that didn't even have an emperor was not a leader? ”

"There is no emperor over there, but there is also a person in a high position, called the chairman. As the name suggests, it's the main seat. They have a large population, more state affairs than we have here, and there is a lot to govern the country. people's livelihood, transportation and finance. There are also officials at all levels who are in charge, and they seem to be richer than we are, there are not many people who ask for food and pick up garbage, and the clothes they wear do not have patches. ”

"You said that the person in the highest position there is called the chairman, and that power is similar to that of the emperor, right? After he died, his son ascended the throne? ”

"No, they are not hereditary, and those who hold the throne can only be in power for five years, and they can be re-elected for ten years. They talk about a new president, and then the next president will be born. ”

"It's really hard to manage such a big country." This is what Prince Ann said.

The prince didn't want to say too much, so he only said: "There are many people over there, and there are all kinds of talents." "I won't say it anymore.

Prince An, who is that, knowing that the prince is not so concerned about the things in the world, he changed the topic: "Is the person in the high position also from the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards?" ”

"No, the Marriage Act there stipulates monogamy and does not allow men to take concubines. Even a person in a high position is also a woman. Those who are in power and those who are rich want to enjoy the blessings of Qi people have to risk being dismissed. However, there are still some people who use the power in their hands to mess around outside, and if they don't get it right, they may fold themselves into it, which is called corruption. Corruption is not only about finding women, but also about embezzlement and bribery. There are also officials who have been dismissed as a result. ”

"This is good, a man and a woman are more worry-free." Prince An said that there are now more than a dozen women in his house, and the smoke of gunfire is everywhere every day.

Prince Jian scoffed: "Fourth brother wants to save his mind, why are there so many women in the house?" ”

"It was sent by the draft, did I want it?"

"You don't want to why these women have children?"

The prince hurriedly said to the mud: "Okay, okay, don't quarrel about this kind of thing." This is a problem of the social system, and the fourth child does not dare not want the woman sent by the Queen Mother. The king has already instructed Fu Jin to prepare food for the two of them. ”

"The dishes in the house are really varied, and the second sister-in-law is really a virtuous woman who can go to the hall and the kitchen."

Prince An seemed to have a lot of things to ask, but he couldn't remember what to ask for a while. As soon as I heard that there was something delicious, I had something to say: "That time I took over the car at the house, the second sister-in-law worked hard, and any of those dishes were so delicious." Can you bring another plate of that cold salad with powdered skin? ”

"That's going to be there, I can see that everyone loves it."

"Ao Bai that old thing has no rules at the table, and a plate of Coke chicken wings is pulled into his stomach by himself." Prince An still remembers the domineering appearance of Aobai.

"Little Fuzi, you go and tell the kitchen to make a Coke chicken wing. Also, let the kitchen cook a few more exotic northern dishes. ”

The two princes are gluttonous in the house.

Because the prince had instructions, before the two princes Chitose returned home, they prepared a small item for each person to carry in their pockets, needles and threads, hairpin ring jewelry, as well as candy, toys, and stationery for the children.

"How good is that? It's your capital to do business. "The two princes are very unconcerned.

"It's nothing, this king can afford it. This candy is called jelly, and when the child eats it, he cuts it into small pieces with a knife, and there are children choking on the foreign side, so he must be careful. After eating candy, you must rinse your mouth, otherwise it will erode your teeth. ”

The prince is so gentle and considerate to anyone, no wonder some people in the clan say that the prince is a "spoiled wife and concubine" to his two women, and he takes care of him in every way.

The domestic stores in the house are open after dinner, otherwise the girls who do handicrafts will not be at ease. The women in the house rarely go shopping, the prince is not worried that they go out of the house alone, many young women go shopping on the street and meet the disciples and abductors, but women's shopping habits seem to be innate, and they like to go shopping. Once every ten days, the palace guards protect the women on the streets.

The establishment of this domestic sales point is also to satisfy the shopping addiction of women in the house, and it is safe without leaving the house, and women will not be molested, raped, or trafficked.

The best-selling items in domestic stores are fabrics, jewelry, and daily necessities. Although the monthly schedule of the girls and grandmothers is limited, they can't see what to buy, and they can buy a few cheap ones.

Ling Juan was pulled by Yue'er and Lian'er to the domestic store, how did they know that this Mr. Ling was from the metropolis in the future, and he had visited many stores. When she arrived here, Ling Juan became a hillbilly instead, and she didn't even know how to spend the silver of the Qing Dynasty.

There are regulations in the government rules that maids are not allowed to talk to guards and personal soldiers. So the people who came forward to ask the price were all old mothers,

"How much silver is this hairpin?" Mama Zheng also came to sweep the streets.

"This is 200 words. It's called a peacock hairpin. ”

"I bought it, I have to pick a few things and settle the accounts together, okay?"

"Yes, who are you? The first place in the house. ”

"Stinky thing, it seems like I'm special, is this bracelet silver? Why is it so bright? ”

"The chief manager said that this bracelet is polished, so it is shiny."

"How much is a couple?"

"Five hundred wen."

"I want it. And this, it seems to be for girls, right? Buy two pairs for my granddaughter. ”

Mama Zheng's family's economic conditions are still good, she and her wife Dr. Zhu have a fixed income, and their sons, daughters-in-law, daughters, and sons-in-law are all on errands in the house. The economic power of the family is in the hands of Mama Zheng, and she bought a lot of favorite goods at one time, and her grandson and granddaughter carried them back. Not only did I buy jewelry, cloth, but also daily necessities, such as mops, dish soap, latex gloves, rice bowls, spoons, tea cans, paper pumps, monosodium glutamate, thirteen spices, etc.

Mama Zheng and Mama Liu are on errands but are not on duty, that is, they have no specific tasks, and they do not spend the night in Fujin's room, they just accompany Fujin to talk, and they are senior grandmothers. Now I'm a little busier as a teacher. She is the most intimate grandmother in Fujin, and she is the most famous, almost all the maids and mothers-in-law have to talk to Mama Zheng, and they have to flatter a few words when they meet: "Mama Zheng is a big fortune, she bought so many goods and spent a lot of money, right?" ”

"The things that Master Yun brought back are not too expensive, and they don't cost much."

The maids and girls have fewer monthly cases to see the excitement, and it's okay to buy less.

"Cui'er, look at this hairpin, what is this flower on it made of? You are the person next to the cloud master, you must know. ”

"Master Yun said that this is made of resin material."

"What is resin?"

"Where do I know so much? It was the master who said it. ”

There are often the royal family Fujin, side Fujin and their mansion Beizi Baylor, Gege, maids, and mothers-in-law. Some people were eager to buy all the goods, but the notice said that half of the profits from these goods would be given to the emperor, and no one dared to buy too much, for fear that people would suspect that they would resell them. Generally speaking, these clan dependents leave after buying goods, and do not enter the inner mansion, embarrassed to disturb the prince and Fujin. When I buy something, I am very gentle, and I don't bargain, because it's already very low, and it's a scary joke to bargain again.

"Jin Gege, look, how beautiful is this necklace?" A little maid from the Guogong Mansion whispered to the master of Gege, "There are glass beads, silver agate, coral beads, and small porcelain figures." ”

"It's really beautiful and chic, who is that, Sixiko, you ask for the price." Gege ordered the little eunuch who came with him.

The little eunuch named Sixizi hurriedly stepped forward: "This big brother, how much is this necklace worth?" ”

"This is 200 Wen."

Miss Gege couldn't help it, her eyes widened and she asked, "How much do you say?" Is it really 200 Wen? It's so cheap. Right? ”

Gege said with a smile, we must be familiar with the price before buying goods, and we are all familiar with it. You can't go wrong. ”

"Is it okay for me to buy two?"

"Yes, you are a relative in the house, you can be accommodating."

"Thank you. And what is that? It's the embroidered one. ”

"This is called embroidery, it is embroidered ready-made, you like which one to buy, go back and use it directly. This is also a hundred texts. ”

One hundred wen is equivalent to twenty yuan in an exotic land, and the price is still not low. But no matter how low it is, it will be looked down upon.
