On a certain level, Xue Baochai is also a person who can do things, and he knows that he can participate in the hairpin meeting of the Duanrong Eldest Princess's Mansion in exchange for Jia Yuanchun, so he is not stingy.

Xue Baochai generously bought two ready-to-wear clothes, both of which were fancy and inexpensive clothes that were suitable for women to wear as commodities and gifts, and prepared a lot of extra purse sachets and hollow jewelry, such as hollow bracelets, hollow hairpins, etc., as well as two belly pockets, and the mezzanine inside the belly pocket also hid silver tickets.

Before Xue Baochai sent the things to Jia Yuanchun, he specially took them to Jia's mother to see. Mother Jia was very satisfied when she saw the clothes and jewelry prepared by Xue Baochai, especially the silver tickets that had been loaded, and took out a bag of golden melon seeds, golden beans, and golden seeds, weighing two catties, and asked Jia Yuanchun to bring them.

Not to mention those lines, let's just say that the silver ticket prepared by Xue Baochai for Jia Yuanchun is no less than 50,000 taels of silver. Now Daguanyuan doesn't even see a shadow, not to mention the Jia family, even the Xue family's family background is also very rich.

Xue Baochai is a shrewd businessman, and it is not advisable for a businessman to spend money on himself, because if the one hundred taels of silver spent on himself are used for investment, it can easily become one thousand taels, ten thousand taels or even more, and the cost is nothing more than time and energy. But it is not difficult for Xue Baochai to invest in Jia Yuanchun, Jia Yuanchun's whereabouts and future have been determined, and it is Xue Baochai's opinion to buy an opportunity to contact nobles that can be obtained immediately with 50,000 taels and the opportunity to gain the favor of Jia Yuanchun, who is about to rise to prominence. It's quite worth it.

For other official eunuchs, marrying a daughter is only twenty or thirty thousand, but when Jia Min first got married, Jia's mother gave a dowry worth at least 100,000 yuan. Fifty thousand taels. In Jia's house, it's just the cost of two more sets of jewelry for the girls and girls in the family. As for the merchants' families, don't look at their social status as inferior, but when it's time to spend money, they are the most generous.

After spending such a large sum of money, Xue Baochai finally got the qualification to ride the Cuihu Huagai car with Jia Jiu. When Xue Baochai, who was dressed up, saw Jia Jiu, who was sitting in the carriage wearing a pink stand-up collar mid-shirt, covered with a navy blue collar moon white background, royal blue bamboo leaf printed satin on the placket, sprinkled with a white pleated skirt, and a light beige dark flower satin leopard print trimmed fur cloak, his face turned red unconsciously, and he smiled forcefully: "Why is the second sister still wearing this?" Why don't you wear the dress that the old lady prepared for her sister? ”

Jia Jiu's gaze fell on Jia Yuanchun, who was dressed as a girl behind Xue Baochai. quickly took it back, but turned back and forth on Xue Baochai's body, and said, "I only remembered it yesterday." The silver material was taken from the old warehouse, and it is said that the old ancestor and grandfather used the leftover material when they were alive. What is the identity of the ancestors, and what is the identity of the grandfather? I'm afraid that the material can only be used by the serious family members of the prince or the best minister, if there are nobles wearing such clothes at today's hairpin flower party. Then I still shouldn't wear it out. It's not worth it to collide with a nobleman. ”

Xue Baochai was stunned. said: "This should also be taboo? ”

Jia Jiu said: "It's not a taboo, it's just that the hairpins in Beijing will be like this, and they are most afraid of hitting their shirts." If a noble person wears such clothes first, it is better for those of a lower status not to wear similar or identical clothes. It's easy to offend people. I also brought three or four sets of alternative clothes, but one set could not be made, and there was always something else to change. It's Sister Bao, your clothes are really good-looking, especially this cloak. I can't hold it up if I change it. ”

Xue Baochai blushed. His garment was specially chosen. He wears a moon-white collared midshirt and a round-necked gown embroidered with apricot yellow satin peony. Sprinkled with a peach embroidered peony pleated skirt and draped in a red peony cloak. Because of the fear of being provoked, Xue Baochai specially did not wear a phoenix hairpin, only used a circle of white pearls inlaid with a golden hairpin, plus two small small golden hairpins with single beads, but girls love beauty, in the end, Xue Baochai still put two small garnet red silk flowers on the other side of the flat hairpin, and specially selected a pair of gold pendants with ginkgo biloba for himself.

To be honest, he didn't originally prepare this cloak, but when he was about to go out, he remembered that the two-color gold clothes were not something he could wear as an identity, and even the golden cloak was not something that anyone could use, so he changed it temporarily. This cloak is a large printed peony, a fine satin fabric, after more than ten years, it is still like a brand new, but not just anyone can hold up.

At least Jia Jiu didn't dare to wear any peony patterns in front of nobles, especially such a conspicuous large peony. But compared to the golden cloak, this bright red one is already good. Even if you wear a golden cloak at home, in this kind of occasion when the king appears, it is a proper rhythm to find death.

That's right, the Great Qi Dynasty didn't worship gold very much, the most revered colors were black and white, these two colors belonged to the colors of heaven and earth, and then purple, then red, and then green. But the impression left by the previous dynasty is so deep-rooted, because in the era when the grassland tribes before the former dynasty and the previous dynasty entered the Central Plains, gold was the color that belonged exclusively to the royal family, and even used the gold family to refer to the royal family.

Because of this, even though there is no explicit provision in the laws of Daqi, the people in the Jingshi have invariably chosen to avoid it. There is no need to be so particular about Jinling, but this is not Jinling, but Jingshi.

The grandmothers in Jia Jiu's house have been all together a few days ago, in order to give herself courage, Jia Jiu only brought two girls, Qingwen and Xiaohong, but brought her four upbringing grandmothers, and even Zhao Dong's family went over with Jia Jiu in the name of Jia Jiu's grandmother. It's Xue Baochai, he only brought Ying'er and was taken up by Jia Yuanchun and Baoqin as two girls, as for the grandmother, the nurturing grandmother or anything, there was no one.

Jia Jiu looked at Xue Baochai and said, "Sister Bao, although the days are still early, but this year it is cold early, I don't think it is now, when the wind is cold in the second half of the day, Sister Bao, your body is not warm enough." ”

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "I also brought a short jacket with honey color, if it is windy, I will add it." ”

Jia Jiu said: "Honey color? This is not something that most girls can hold. Sister Bao looks good, and she looks good in whatever clothes she wears. Where it is the man who picks the clothes, it is the clothes that pick the man. When will I be able to wear clothes as casually as Sister Bao. ”

Xue Baochai smiled: "My sister is still young." When my sister is older, naturally I don't have to pick clothes, just wait for the clothes to be picked. ”

Xue Baochai's words were inevitably a little flattering, but Jia Jiu just had nothing to say.

The two of them said they lived under the same roof, but they had little time to spend alone.

Jia Jiu was busy, just preparing for the sacrifice would take most of his time, even if Jia Jiu could use the [Advanced Cultivation Ground] to rest, it was impossible for him to bring something into the [Advanced Cultivation Ground], he could only prepare outside. Especially for such a major event as ancestor worship, no one can enter this small kitchen and ingredient room specially prepared for ancestor worship, even the fire is taken by Jia Qian and Jia Qing sisters in turn, and other girls can only wait outside.

Therefore, preparing for the ancestor worship also gave Jia Jiu more time alone and gave him more opportunities to practice, and the remaining blessing dishes for the ancestor worship also saved Jia Jiu a lot of points. But in Xue Baochai's eyes, every New Year's holiday is Jia Jiu's busiest time, not to mention preparing dishes for ancestor worship, it is enough to toss for a few days after cleaning up those utensils and blessing dishes, not to mention any wine, sauces, marinated grains and other things, it takes more effort.

Seeing that Jia Qian and Jia Qing were only responsible for burning the fire and were tired like that, Xue Baochai could imagine how hard Jia Jiu would work. So many times, Xue Baochai tried not to disturb Jia Jiu, even if there was something, Xue Baochai also directly told a few girls in Jia Jiu's house, instead of having to say it to Jia Jiu in person.

Compared with Jia Jiu, Xue Baochai is more familiar with the two in the Huansha Pavilion.

While he was talking, the carriage shook slightly, but it was on the road. Jia Jiu closed his eyes and didn't speak, and even his two girls sat in a regular manner, which made Xue Baochai a little uncomfortable.

A shrewd and sophisticated businessman can see a lot of things on the street. Xue Baochai is a businessman, but he is so unfamiliar with the world outside the high walls. Out of his yearning for wealth, Xue Baochai wanted to lift the window to take a look, but as a lady, he couldn't do it.

If someone else was in the same car with him, Xue Baochai could gently encourage the other party to lift the window, and then the two of them enjoyed the scenery outside, after all, a little girl under the age of ten was not enough to pay attention to these. But in the face of Jia Jiu, Xue Baochai didn't dare, or rather, he couldn't do this, even if he did, whether the other party would do what he wanted was another matter, but if Jia Jiu felt that he had made him carry the black cauldron, Xue Baochai would definitely not be able to afford such a mistake.

Moved his eyes to Jia Jiu's body again, only to see Jia Jiu sitting silently with his eyes closed, holding a sea-blue handkerchief in his hand.

Seeing the green tendons on the back of Jia Jiu's hand, Xue Baochai was startled. He and Jia Jiu are both mellow girls, the difference is that Jia Jiu is just round, while he is fat. But whether it is round or fat, there should not be green tendons on the back of a child's hand, and there will be green tendons on his hands at a young age, which is the expression that only children from poor families have.

Is it really so hard to prepare for the sacrifice? (To be continued......)
