Chapter 157: Selling Blood to Make Incense
She really doesn't want to go out this year, but she doesn't want to go out either, so she will accompany her sister in the house, her sister is actually the hardest in the family.
At a young age, she has to work hard for the livelihood of her family, she is useless, but as an older sister, she can't help her sister? I also want my sister to worry about her dowry, she can't do much for her sister, just accompany her here, her father is not here, Ah Ning only has their brother and sister two relatives, the eldest brother is in the weapons department all day long, sometimes if he is busy, it is possible not to return home for a few days, so there are only two sisters in the family, and she also decided, really not to go out, accompany her sister.
It just so happened that a few days ago, King Jun's Mansion sent some new furs, so let's use these to make clothes.
Most of the clothes of her family A Ning throughout the year are made by her sister, and she wants her sister to wear the most beautiful clothes, even in her own home.
There will be a lot of silver in the house every day, and in January, there are more than 100,000 taels, but even so, the gold and silver in the treasury are decreasing at a terrible rate, and they have collected a lot of grain, all of which are tens of thousands of loads, but Shen Qingci still said that it is not enough, if it is not enough, it will be collected again, cotton clothes have begun to be done, and it is not easy to do tens of thousands of pieces, more than three or four months, and less than half a year, as for charcoal, it is very smooth to harvest, after all, such a thing, In this season, no one wants it, and now that someone collects it, those charcoal burners are naturally happy, and if it is burned for a summer, then it can also make a lot of silver.
"Sister, someone sent 100,000 taels of silver."
Mama He hurriedly came over and found Shen Qingci in the incense room, Shen Qingci was making new incense inside, as soon as the new incense came out, she could earn more silver, she thought that these silver were enough, but how did she feel that it was not enough, and she had to have more.
When she heard Mama He say this, it was an accident, who sent the silver, 100,000 taels, and it was really not a decimal number.
"It was sent by Lord Shuo."
Mama He replied, "The person who sent the silver said that this was ordered by the prince of Shuo, saying that their prince knew that our house was going to send winter clothes to the border soldiers, and I was afraid that our silver was not enough, so he sent these." ”
Lord Shuo? Shen Qingci thought of this person, it seemed that she had only heard of the name in her previous life, but she had never seen him, he was the bloodline of the eldest princess of the dynasty, and he was also the nephew of the emperor of the dynasty.
The eldest princess was martyred in a battle, when the eldest princess was already pregnant for seven months, and when she heard the bad news, she gave birth to Prince Shuo prematurely, and she followed.
This Shuo prince was raised by the Queen Mother, and when he was an adult, he didn't like the palace, and he never appeared in Beijing.
But I heard that this person is amazingly talented, but he is not inconspicuous, he is not close to any official, he has always been a loner, and he is also his own way.
In the previous life, Shen Qingci had some impressions of this Shuo Wangye, but it was only between these rumors, and until she died, she had never seen this Shuo Wang.
Even his name seems to have never been known.
This time he unexpectedly sent 100,000 taels of silver, which didn't seem to be the case in the previous life, and I think it was because she took out her mother's dowry, making him think that their house was already poor.
But no matter what the reason, she wrote down this love, and if she had the opportunity, she would definitely repay her this favor.
"Sister, what should I do with the 100,000 taels of silver?"
Although Mama He said that she had seen a lot of silver, in the treasury of the Weiguo Mansion, there were millions of taels of silver in it, and she had not seen much in the past few years, but there was a lot of silver and gold, but she was still frightened by the 100,000 taels of silver.
After all, it's someone else's.
"Take it," Shen Qingci didn't want to go back, "Since it was sent, just stay, at any time, it's easy to add to it, but it's difficult to send charcoal in the snow." ”
As for the silver......
"Mama, you let the housekeeper buy the 100,000 taels of silver into grain and charcoal."
Mama He nodded, she passed over in a while, but she didn't quite understand, why did she have to buy these, not to mention the grain, how much to give, the army is actually not enough, if you open your belly to eat, the appetite of those soldiers is very terrible, but this gold and silver charcoal are all used by wealthy people, can they be burned for the army?
She just wanted to ask, but when she saw that Shen Qingci was still standing there, she continued to mix incense, so she didn't ask anymore.
And after Mama He left, Shen Qingci took out a silver needle, and suddenly, pricked it on his finger, and then a bead of blood oozed out.
She frowned slightly, dripping the bead of blood into a jar.
There is a saying in the Lou family incense dictionary that if the Lou family girl uses blood as the incense, the fragrance is far away, and it is very wonderful.
She didn't want to use this method to make incense, no matter what, she really didn't want to use her body to make incense, she was a universal incense, but she didn't use it like this, but she felt that although she had worked hard to make money, but why, it was not enough?
The food is collected by the housekeeper all over the place, and I don't know if it is because she collects too much, or because the grain is still less, the more she collects, the more expensive the price becomes, and the more she collects, she feels that the silver is useless. In any case, we must first get through this difficulty.
So she thought of such a method, this incense will be very expensive, otherwise she will not earn so much silver, the incense of the Lou family is good, but she is the only one who can adjust it.
She wants to open a pint of incense all day and wants to make more money, but if so, she doesn't have so much incense to sell, and she won't do shoddy things.
She won't smash the signboard of a pinxiang, that's all.
Soon after, Yipinxiang did not close the door at noon, but opened the door all day to welcome guests in, and there were several new fragrances inside, and when I walked by, this fragrance was almost all fascinating, and then I didn't know that people had already come over.
And for these incense, I don't know how many people have broken their heads, and they are fighting, it is said that a taste of incense and a taste of incense, very wonderful, because this incense, as long as you carry a grain, several desires are addictive, even the footsteps are unable to move away, the most bought, in fact, is the wives of the various provinces, and in order to keep their husbands, they are almost all doing everything, so even if this incense is expensive, they have to buy it back, of course, this is also a tacit thing.
