The goods received from Bing'er and Xue'er this time are all specialties from Dali, fruits, snacks and flowers from Yunnan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The people in the house have tasted the flavors of the southern country from 5,000 miles away. sent some to the Empress Dowager and the emperor, as well as several side rooms of the royal family and Xuan'er. Although Tian Liang is the prince's in-laws, no one regards him as a relative, but a member of his own family. The daughter-in-law who was pregnant during this period had an excuse to satisfy her hunger: Li Ling'er caught up. This is her second child, and she eats red grapes from the south, pears, candied fruits, etc., and her heart is as happy as opening two doors. The unhappiness of the first marriage has also disappeared. She can understand Xuan'er very well, a man and five women, how can he be a monk with more meat and less meat, he can't be all-encompassing. But Ling'er knew in her heart that in addition to Tian Rui, the second thing in Lord Xuan's heart was herself. Although he has never sworn an alliance with anyone, he knows who he is good for. Xuan Wang Ye likes learned people and Han girls, but he has never snubbed Hada and Mailer, the two Manchurian side rooms, and he is also very kind to Zhou Xinyao, and now Xinyao also has a child, and she is still pregnant with one in her belly.

Ling'er got a large bag of food, which was sent by Chen Eniang. Ling'er is very smart, although she is puzzled why the grapes are not broken after such a long journey, but she never asks why. I don't know how the princess and the forehead can be so capable? Trade this for that, toss it back home, and sell it again. The newly opened flower shop is about to be trampled by the big families in the capital: Father-in-law Rui Wangye, I don't know how to feed the flowers that the princess got back.

Mrs. Ashmita had already returned to Kunming, but now she actually found Dali. She saw a Dai girl in Kunming, with hooked flowers sewn on the edge of her skirt, and she didn't need to guess to know that it was Xue'er who hooked them. She asked where the girl had bought it. The girl said that her brother had exchanged spices from the market in Dali. So Ashmita chased to Dali, because the crochet flowers she had ordered before were a drop in the bucket, and she didn't wait to return to India to divide up with relatives and friends, so she came to order again. But this time Cher was alone, and Ami and the others went home.

"Miss Cher, I wonder if you can please design a hook flower that is a little smaller than the flower on this sachet?"

"Yes, the size of the hook depends on the use. Small flowers are generally used to decorate clothing, and can be used on the collar, sleeve edge, and bottom edge of women's clothing skirts. It's beautiful. ”

"Yes, I'm just optimistic about that, so please design the crochet on our Indian women's sari as soon as possible. We will come back in a few days, after fancy your sample, immediately order, preferably a few more colors, mainly white. ”

Cher told her about the situation, and Mrs. Ashmita said, "Then recruit more female workers, who doesn't want to make money?" ”

Xue'er didn't want to spread the art of crochet too widely, and the little lady said that it was an exotic skill, but Mrs. Ashmita's face was not easy to refute, and they helped a lot when she was selling her own goods. So I agreed, saying that I would show her the pattern design, and she would order it if she was satisfied. But there is no yarn like in Ruan's house, so it can only be used as live thread. Mrs. Ashmita said, "What's so hard about that? I just went to Kunming, 600 miles to Dali is not far. ”

Xue'er's goods really have a crochet pattern brought by the little mother. At this time, Xue'er knew how careful the little girl who seemed to be anxious was and how much she loved herself! In this way, they don't have to think hard about designing their own design, find a few good-looking hooks to use as samples, so that they have a choice. Kieran and Ashmita's sari dresses are decorated with crocheted lace that would be the icing on the cake and the finishing touch.

Ten female workers were recruited and work began again. This time, the pattern is small, which saves time and effort, and of course, the price is low. The little sisters don't care, just make money. Practice makes perfect, the more you do it, the more you do it, not only use the handicrafts of the house to exchange spices, gemstones, medicinal herbs, fruits, flowers, but also buy a lot of special goods brought by Ashmita and Mrs. Kieran from India, as well as the specialties of the surrounding countries, dried fish, fruits and flowers from the coast are also transported back to the house through Yun'er's air, and there are not too many goods in hand, and it is easy to attract thieves if there is too much property. They have successively replaced more than a dozen boxes full of gems, and as soon as they got their hands, they contacted E-Niang and took them away.

Maybe Wu Sangui has left Yunnan again, and no one has come to harass him recently, and Bing'er Xue'er's business is relatively stable. The spice shops, jewelry shops, herb shops, fruit shops, flower shops and other businesses in the house are doing very good business. Without the constraints of Ao Bai and the suspicion of the Queen Mother, the business in the house is getting better and better day by day.

During this period, several people also went to Chuxiong, Anning, Dehong, Honghe, Lincang, Nujiang, Qujing, Simao, Wenshan, Zhaotong, and Pu'er......

Bing'er Xue'er sent Pu'er tea from Pu'er to the house; all kinds of fruits and teas and small grains of coffee in Xishuangbanna; Chuxiong's sour horn sugar, Da Yao's honey, walnuts; douchi and soy sauce from double cypress; Yao An's lotus root powder; Mouding's bean curd; Lijiang's Nanjian Green Tea; the red pears of the mountains and the walnuts of Yangbi; Yunlong's green tea; There are also plums, sister seven spicy, milk fan, stuffed pear, Erhai sea vegetables, Erhai raw hide, Xiangyun rice wine, and Binshan's pine pollen and other special products, medicinal herbs, fruits, spices from India, gems from Nepal, etc., etc. It brought huge economic benefits to the Kangxi Emperor. Those fine gems are set on all kinds of jewelry, which immediately increases the popularity of these jewelry, diamonds, gemstones, are genuine things! Emperor Kangxi held a million taels of silver tickets in his hand, and he was so moved that he choked up for a long time and didn't know what to say to the prince and Brother Xuan.

One day, Master Gan Lin came. The master said, "Bing'er Xue'er, you still have to return to the capital, and this return is to help the officials of the imperial court complete two things, you have to return to the house, and you have to go from the western front. The western route that Master said refers to passing through Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Zhili back to Beijing. ”

Bing'er asked, "Then we won't come out to do business after that?" ”

"This depends on the progress of the government's business, and all the goods in the house must be sold. Actually, the things you two have to do are basically done, and the ones who should help Kangxi are also done. Your business can't go on forever, you should go back with Master. Suffice it to say, the two of you may be leaving this world before your parents. If it is after you return home, your emperor will give you a higher honor and title, and you are a great hero of Kangxi. At this time, when you are retreating from the rapids, you are not enjoying what you deserve, and you have to leave forever with your parents, siblings, and children, and Master asks you, do you want to leave from the bottom of your heart? ”

Bing'er and Xue'er both knelt down and said with tears in their eyes: "Master, we were originally the ice and snow boys beside you, and we were the gods who assisted you in purifying all sentient beings. But because we covet human marriage, we have human desires, which do not conform to the standards of the holy world God, and we are punished to suffer in the world, and this suffering is unforgettable, in addition to physical suffering, but also spiritual humiliation. So if we meet the criteria to go back, we don't have any greed, and we will go back with you as soon as possible. I hope Master will not dislike us for making mistakes. ”

"Hurry up, disciples. Master wants to bring you back to you for a while, and in less than twenty years, you have tasted the bitterness and sweetness of the human world, and more importantly, the humiliation of people. It is your luck and creation that you have been able to leave this treacherous place with Master without hesitation. However, you still have some unfinished business, and you have to cooperate with the officials of the imperial court to complete it, and then go back to the house to see if the situation can be left. If you are going with Master, you must explain everything you want to explain to your parents properly, and Master will come to pick you up when the time comes. You belong to the attainment of the right fruits, so I will give you a glory. Don't be a burden, naturally. Your children are going to go with your parents, and your parents have unfinished business. Maybe you have to come to Yunnan to do business and help General Zhao do something, depending on the situation. ”

"Thank you, Master."

"Settle everything here, and don't go into debt. And don't always think that your children are orphans, they are blessed children, who have no worries about food and clothing. In fact, you are all here, and you are not responsible for them as much as your parents, and your parents are in charge of them. So that you can leave without any worries. ”

"That's what Master said."

"Qing'er."

Qing'er has been listening to the conversation between the master and Bing'er and Xue'er. Hearing the master call her, she hurriedly knelt in front of the master.

"Qing'er, you are already doing very well now, and you have a lot of good thoughts. We must keep it up and not slack off. You can't walk with Bing'er Xue'er yet, there's a lot more you have to do. ”

"Yes, Qing'er obeys Master's orders."

After Master left, Bing'er Xue'er began to put the finishing touches on the business she was doing in Yunnan. Contact Xiao Eniang, send the supplies back in hand, and then go home. I didn't say exactly when.

Yun'er told Fu Jin about Bing'er Xue'er going back to her home, and Fu Jin let out a long breath: "It's back!" ”

Knowing that Bing'er Xue'er was going back to the capital, Ashmita and Mrs. Kieran did everything they could to keep her. said: "Your business has just started to make a lot of money, why did you go back?" Our King and Queen would love you to visit India. ”

Cher thanked the two Indian ladies for their retention and said, "You know what? We still have a pair of children waiting for us to go back, and for several years, we parents have ignored them and thrown them to our parents who are almost 60 years old, so we have to go back. Money is a never-ending thing, and the money we earn is enough to solve a lot of problems for our emperor. Thank you for your help to us, and please tell Mr. James that if he is in the capital, please come to the house. ”

"Aren't you going to welcome us to the house?"

"Of course you're welcome, but didn't you say you were going to withdraw your business from the capital?"

"The one in the capital is going to be withdrawn, but the business in Yunnan is going to continue, and I really hope to cooperate again."

"It depends on the situation, my parents are very old, and the children are still young, so they may not be able to come again." Cher didn't say anything to death.

"It's a pity, it's a pity."

"It's nothing, if you really have the opportunity to go to the capital, I hope you will be a guest at the house. Mrs. Ashmita, isn't your husband an envoy to the Qing Kingdom? Why don't you stay with your husband? ”

"I'm too embarrassed to tell you about this. We Indian men can also have three wives and four concubines, he has long disliked me, and there are three young women around me, so I don't please his eyes, and it is righteous to make money and keep my own flowers. ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that was the case." Cher said apologetically.

Ashmita looked grinning: "It's nothing, I'm used to it." Good luck and a safe journey. ”

"Thank you."

Sister Ami and the other six are back! The reason is that there are a lot of Wu Sangui's men and horses stationed in Yuxi, and they can arrest the nearby people at any time to cook and do laundry for them, and the young women will be ruined at any time! They had no choice but to return to Cher. But Xue'er is about to return to Beijing, so she can't take the Ami sisters with her.

The conversation with the Ami sisters was very difficult, and when they heard that Cher was going back to the capital, they began to cry. I know that I and Xue'er are not the same person, but I am very reluctant! has not yet repaid Qing'er for saving her life. Xue'er said that she hoped that they would stay in Dali, and Wu Sangui would not be able to say anything for a few years, and after pacifying the three feudatories, they would be able to live a normal woman's life. After all, there are old friends here, and they are used to everything here. Ami is an empathetic girl, so she told her sisters to stay in Dali for the time being, and then return to Yuxi after the three feudatories are pacified.

Cher left the remaining materials and crochet tools with the Ami sisters, allowing them to continue to work on the fabric. He also promised them that if Mrs. Kieran went to the capital, he would bring them some materials for their work.

It was the six Ami who sent Cher away first. They are natives here, familiar with the situation here, and are the masters. Bing'er and Xue'er treated them very kindly, and gave them enough gems as dowries, jewelry, headdresses, cloth, and silver taels in the house, and they would not be poor in the future. After saying goodbye, Xue'er and Bing'er left Dali according to the route said by the master. As soon as they left, Wu Sangui's soldiers came to Dali to arrest them. He heard that there were southern goods stores in the capital, all of which were produced in Kunming. can make him angry: Toss my Wu Dashuai's family background? This time, I made up my mind to "click" all the people in the benevolence class. As a result, the spies told him that only six people from the Renyi class had left, and he didn't know which way they wanted to return to Beijing.

"Give me chase! Catch up and kill it! So he scattered his soldiers and horses and intercepted Bing'er and the others from all roads.

Just when Wu Sangui's thousands of soldiers surrounded Bing'er Xue'er, a tornado broke out, sweeping away all the soldiers surrounding Bing'er Xue'er. By the time they found themselves on an island, they were already on the island of Singapore, far from Kunming. Like Aobai, there is no cloth on his body that can cover the places he should not be exposed. Wu Sangui was still waiting for them to come to see him with Bing'er Xue'er's head, and there was no news for half a month. It's not bad, I came back a year later and told Wu Sangui about their "Robinson Crusoe".

Wu Sangui's rebellion was smooth at the beginning, but now it is becoming more and more awkward, just like falling into a mud pond, he can't pull out his feet when he arrives at a place, and many people can only flee in embarrassment if he loses his soldiers. Now it's trapped in Yueyang again and can't pull it out! After Wu Sangui became emperor in Hengyang, Hunan, he thought that everyone here was Han and most of them would support him, but on the contrary, even the Huangkou children scolded him for being a capricious villain!
