Shichahai, Li's Courtyard, the front hall.

Yang Ruixue held the account book in her hand and listened to the account report of the shopkeeper of the silver building. Because some of the jewelry that was bought in the first year of the silver building, it was not sold later, and a lot of silver money was pressed in it, and the funds on the account were a little insufficient, so the shopkeeper came to find Yang Ruixue.

Although Yang Ruixue did not manage the accounts when she was in Jiangning, after all, she was born as a businessman, and she was familiar with these things.

Looking at the rows of "double-flower pomegranate hairpins", "Ruyi peony hairpins", "lotus boy hairpins", "Shouzi group crane hairpins", and "magpie Dengmei hairpins" on the account book, Yang Ruixue couldn't help sighing, but she knew it in her heart.

Those who like jewelry and are willing to visit the silver building are mostly big girls and little daughters-in-law, but these styles are too old. Even in her jewelry, although there are also these hairpins, they are mostly dowry items left by her grandmother to her mother.

This shopkeeper is not an expert in the silver building business.

Because the silver building was given by Li Xu, and the shopkeeper was also invited by the Li family, Yang Ruixue couldn't say anything. It's just that now it's different, and she used to say that she was just a pastime when she was a silver building, and she had nothing to do to go around, and she had the right to relax.

Now, Yang Ruixue is taking the silver building as a livelihood. She had already said that she would send Yi Duli to send someone south to pick up her mother and daughter, and when the time came, the family would be reunited, and they would have a good time in Beijing.

After coming to the capital for nearly a year, Yang Ruixue saw it. Those so-called officials really have nothing to fear, that is, on Qianmen Street, wearing shabby menddy clothes, and going to the pork bar to buy half a pound of pork on credit.

Money is a real thing, and Yi Duli doesn't dare to look down on her, not because her family is rich and she can support herself, so she doesn't have to rely on others. On the contrary, although Yiduli has a lord and an official, and his family also has an ancestral Zhuangzi, he has a lot of money that can be spent every month, and it is not as rich as Yang Ruixue's side.

Li Xu is a generous person, and this silver building was just bought to coax Yang Ruixue to be happy. Even before leaving Beijing, Li Xu also specially asked someone to pick up Yang Ruixue and stayed for one night.

Compared with Li Ding's Bo Xing, Li Xu is much more affectionate. I don't know if it's Xiao Biesheng's newlywed, or if he is moved by love, Li Xu has a little old and strong, old and strong, and rubs Yang Ruixue to iron it, and almost scatters his soul.

Between the beds, kiss the neck closely, and whisper. What was said in it, but only Yang Ruixue knew...... The shopkeeper stopped squeaking when he heard the proprietor sigh, and looked up a little apprehensively. But I saw her with a pink face and a spring in her eyes, and she sat there and didn't know what to think.

Although the shopkeeper is not confused when he is over the years, and the children in the family are as big as Yang Ruixue, he still can't help but straighten his eyes when he sees her like this.

When Yang Ruixue came from his contemplation, he saw the shopkeeper's demented appearance, and couldn't help frowning and snorting coldly.

The shopkeeper reacted to the gaffe, and hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and drooped his head.

Yang Ruixue is used to seeing men's lustful appearance, and she is not very annoyed. She put down the account book, touched the palace flower on her head, her heart moved, and said to the shopkeeper: "You go back first, don't worry about the spring goods first, I will think about it for two days to see if there are any other regulations." ”

The shopkeeper was busy, and cautiously stepped forward to take the account book, and retreated.

Yang Ruixue plucked the palace flower from her head and removed a string of beads from her wrist.

Speaking of fashionable jewelry, it is all handed down from the palace. If you can get the new palace tricks in the palace early, then if you find a few skillful women to do it at night, isn't it better than anything.

There are also beads, although her family's bead field is now owned by the Li family, but she always has to find a place to sell it. The lady of Beijing likes beads a lot. When sending a girl to marry, one or several sets of beads are indispensable.

Of these two, she knows how to do it, and the other doesn't pressure money, but it is a hundred times stronger than those old gold hairpins and silver bracelets.

With a decision in her heart, she also had a little more smile on her face, and it seemed that when Yi Duli came over, she asked him if he could find the way to the Internal Affairs Office and invite two flower masters. If this can be done, this silver will be indispensable in the future.

She looked at her head, and estimated that Ituli should be almost there, so she went to the backyard to get dressed.

After Yang Ruixue cleaned her face and reapplied the powder, the maid Yingchun brought her new clothes and asked, "Grandma, do you see this outfit?" ”

But it was a begonia red spring shirt, Yang Ruixue touched the clothes, and her expression showed a touch of self-deprecation. In the future, this red color has nothing to do with her.

With his wife as a concubine, how can he have no regrets in his heart? Yang Ruixue stood up and said to Yingchun: "Just wear it!" ”

For a while, Yang Ruixue was dressed neatly, and Yingchun was busy flattering: "Grandma is so good wearing this color, the skin is getting whiter and whiter!" ”

Yang Ruixue looks at herself in the mirror, isn't it, this red dress, taking advantage of her to become more and more delicate.

Yang Ruixue sighed in her heart, and replaced this begonia red. The flag people pay the most attention to the rules, even if Yi Duli treats her like a treasure now, but he doesn't want to see her unruly, right?

She found other clothes to change into, looked at the begonia red spring shirt, and said to Yingchun: "Put this away!" ”

In response to the sound of spring, Yang Ruixue sat in front of the dresser in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a while, she heard the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and turned her head to look at the door.

Yi Duli carried two snack bags in his hand, and said with a bit of flattery: "Ruixue, what do you see I have taken?" I deliberately went around to the front door to buy dim sum, a pack of eight pieces, a pack of rattan cakes, didn't you say you wanted to eat this bite yesterday? ”

Yang Ruixue got up, her face showed a little joy, stepped forward to take it, and said, "There is Lao Yiye bothered!" ”

Yi Duli said with a little dissatisfaction: "Why is it still 'Yi Ye', 'Yi Ye', called 'Ye', isn't it two days old?" As he spoke, he rubbed Yang Ruixue's arm and glanced at the curtain.

Yang Ruixue hurriedly closed her arms, pulled up her sleeves, and said sideways: "Since it's not bad, why is the master in a hurry?" ”

Yi Duli stepped forward, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her fiercely before letting go: "Hanging like this, it's really killing the master!" ”

Although Yang Ruixue was afraid of being looked down upon and wanted to pretend to be reserved, she was also afraid of annoying him. Hurriedly stretched out a pair of lotus arms, hugged Yi Duli's arms, and even pasted half of his body, and said coquettishly: "I know that the master loves the concubine's body, but it is limited by the etiquette law, and when you get married, the concubine will ...... again." Serve your ...... well."

*Changchun Garden, Qingxi Book House.

After being reprimanded, Brother Jiu withdrew in a sneer, but his face was a little unpleasant, and he muttered: "Bullshit etiquette!" ”

is still those things in business, there are imperial envoys who impeached the head of the ninth elder brother, saying that he, as a prince, "competes with the people for profit", which violates the etiquette law.

Kangxi pulled his face and reprimanded him with a slashing face, leaving no room for defense for Brother Jiu.

Brother Jiu was sprayed with half of his face spitting Xingzi, not to mention, and he was fined for one year and grounded for three months. He is a well-known God of Wealth, so he doesn't feel sorry for those little money, but he really loses his face.

If you see him doing business, why not promote him to the title? Brother Jiu couldn't help but slander Kangxi.

He is now only a Gushan shellfish grade, with 1,300 taels of silver and 1,300 taels of rice. Although when he opened the mansion in the early years, he was given a few Zhuangzi and some silver coins, but as the prince's elder brother, this personal relationship was overwhelming.

Which of the major palaces in the capital does not have a trading shop? It's just that there are not many shops, so it's just handed over to the next person to operate. The difference between him and others is that there are more shops, and he is used to keeping the accounts by himself.

That silver is a good thing, without money, there is no favor, no favor, where to build momentum and seek reputation for the eighth brother?

Leaving all the property to the minions below to take care of, Brother Jiu is not at ease. As far as those things are deceived and concealed, he has seen less?

It's just that, looking at the appearance of the emperor's father training people, his voice is very loud, and his spirit is very full, not like a person who has been sick for a long time, how did the news of the hospital come out?

It's the minions who deliberately make some fake news to invite credit, and they shouldn't have that much courage; Or is the imperial father already at the end of the crossbow, and now he is holding on?

The ninth elder brother was muttering in his heart, and he saw the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother walking towards each other.

Seventeenth elder brother said: "Why did you run away?" I used to see that those minks were very good-looking, and the color of their fur was pure! ”

The sixteenth elder brother shook his head: "Did you run away, or did you ask those minions to change the money in private, who can say clearly?" ”

While talking, they saw Brother Jiu, and the little brothers hurriedly stopped, retreated aside, and made way for Brother Jiu, and said at the same time: "Brother Jiu'an!" ”

The ninth elder brother nodded and said, "Sixteenth brother An, seventeenth brother An, are you going to see Huang Amma?" ”

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother glanced at each other, bowed down and replied, "Well, there is an errand to return!" ”

Brother Jiu smiled on his face and said: "Presumably, Huang Ama must be the two younger brothers, what kind of errand did this explain, can you talk to Brother Jiu, an idler, why did you just hear what you said about mink and not mink?" ”

The sixteenth elder brother also smiled: "It's just an idle errand, how can you not talk to the ninth brother?" A few days ago, the chief eunuch of Changchun Garden went to the livestock breeding office to report that a mink rat in the mink breeding house had bitten through the iron cage and ran away. I had asked someone to interrogate it before, but because he was not careful, he did not pay attention when closing the cage, so that the mink was lost, and the little eunuch who raised it was afraid of being punished, so he broke the cage and said that it was out on its own. Huang Ama didn't believe it, thinking that there was a lie in it, and he was afraid that the slaves had deceived the superiors and subordinates, and stole the things in the imperial garden to destroy and sell them, so he sent his younger brother and the seventeenth brother to the breeding house to have a look! ”

When Brother Jiu heard this, he raised his eyebrows, becoming more and more confused. This sesame mung bean matter is also worth it for the two princes and elder brothers to investigate in person?

Is Huang Ama really confused, or does he have ulterior motives? Thinking about this, the ninth elder brother was anxious to find the eighth elder brother to discuss, so he didn't say anything to the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother, and waved his hand at the two of them and said, "Since there is a serious errand, the two younger brothers should go quickly!" ”

* Cao Mansion, front yard, living room.

Han Jiang sat in the hall, waiting for Cao Hao and his wife to come out. She looked around at the furnishings, thinking to herself what to do for a moment.

Cao Hao sent the person who went over to pick her up, only saying that his wife wanted to see her. Cao Hao, this lady, is the county lord Gege, and Han Jiang's expectation is a little curious.

After a while, Han Jiang's heard the sound of footsteps outside, and heard someone say: "Why is it sprinkled at this hour, be careful of slippery roads!" ”

It was Cao Hao's voice, Han Jiang got up from the chair, and saw Cao Hao walking in from the door with a young woman in his arms.

The woman was eighteen or nineteen years old, fair-skinned, slightly plump, and had a smile on her face. She wore two handfuls of her hair and a slightly loose pine-colored flag suit, but instead of flag shoes, she wore soft-soled boots.

Han Jiang looked at Chu Yu, Chu Yu also looked at Han Jiang inadvertently, seeing that she was slender, her face was good, she was plain, and there were only two beaded flowers on her head.

Cao Hao helped Chu Yu into the hall, then put down his arm and said to Han Jiang: "This is Neizi!" As he spoke, he turned his head to Chu Yu and said, "This is Mr. Cheng's niece, Mrs. Han!" ”

Han Jiang's blessing was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "The little woman has seen Madame, please say hello to Madame!" ”

Chu Yu nodded in return and said, "Mrs. Han doesn't have to be polite, please sit down and talk!" ”

Han Jiang's mouth responded, but he didn't sit down immediately, but waited for the two masters, Cao Hao and Chu Yu, to sit down, and Fang took a step back and sat up straight.

Chu Yu saw that between her words and actions, her eyes did not squint, and her body was upright, so she had more respect for her in her heart, and she did not despise her because of her business background.

Cao Hao sat next to Chu Yu and said to Han Jiang's family: "Has Mr. Cheng ordered a son to go south?" ”

Han Jiang bowed his head and replied: "Duomeng Cao Ye is concerned, my uncle has already booked the twenty-sixth day to leave......
