After the New Year's banquet, it is really the New Year, and each family begins to prepare for the New Year, for the juniors in the family, it is not important what to prepare for the New Year, the most important thing is, of course, to buy new clothes and new jewelry.

If you have a good relationship with your peers, you will also give gifts to each other, and you don't care about the preciousness, the most important thing is that you make it yourself, and you want it.

Shen Jinqiao can be regarded as a leader in handiwork, she decided to embroider purses, embroider three identical purses, and the payment is different from Yingluo, Leng Yi and Bai Youran each have one, so that the three of them can wear them out on the street together on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The weather is getting colder and colder, a brazier is lit in the house, and it is a little stuffy after staying for a long time, Shen Jinqiao pushed open the window, and there were small white dots floating down between the sky and the earth, and a thin layer was piled up on the ground: "It's snowing." ”

Shen Jinqiao turned around and was about to go outside, but Yuzhu hurriedly chased after him: "Master, it's cold outside, put on your fur clothes."

The rabbit fur-edged coat, the kind with sleeves and hood, Shen Jinqiao was tightly wrapped in jade beads before letting her out.

It rarely snows in Qingshan City, and even if there is, it falls on the top of the mountain, and she can only see a little white from a distance, and she can't touch it at all, she hasn't seen snow for a long time.

Shen Jinqiao happily jumped a few times in the snow, looking like a living rabbit from a distance.

Fu Ma came over with the well-taken embroidery thread, it was rare to see Shen Jinqiao so lively and active, but she didn't say that she was not dignified and ladylike enough, the young lady was not married yet, she was still a girl's family, and she was in her own yard, so she could naturally have a happy time.

When Shen Anyang came in, what he saw was this innocent scene, the simple and happy little girl made him look a little trance, this is really his sister who is as wise as a demon and is terrifyingly smart?

Shen Jinqiao's intelligence, as well as her shrewdness when she cheated people, it is easy for people to ignore her age, and even feel threatening and oppressive from her.

But looking at her now, she is clearly a carefree little girl, and at this moment, Shen Anyang suddenly feels a little bit like he is someone else's brother.

Shen Jinqiao walked towards him, Shen Anyang was still in a daze, raised his hand and shook it in front of him: "Big brother, what are you doing?" ”

Shen Anyang came back to his senses, looked at the delicate little girl in front of him, a little unnatural, and coughed lightly: "Ahem, I'm ...... Looking for something. ”

"Say." Shen Jinqiao has always been straightforward.

Shen Anyang pondered for a moment and said, "That...... Isn't there a jewelry store called Jin Ye Xuan? ”

Shen Jinqiao nodded: "Well, yes, what's wrong?" ”

Shen Anyang said tentatively: "Recently, the pearls from the southeast have come, do you need a batch of goods for Jin Yexuan?" ”

"Pearls?" Shen Jinqiao raised his eyebrows: "The things in the store are taken care of, and I don't need to worry about these things when I buy goods, what?" Want to do business with Jin Yexuan? ”

Shen Anyang looked at Shen Jinqiao, this elf-like sister, he hid and tucked it for fear that she would eventually take out the old bottom, and said deflatedly: "Half a year ago, they fried Nanyang pearls and took the sea, I thought I could make money, so I invested some silver in it, and now the freight has arrived in Shengjing, but it was too much speculation at that time, and now the supply exceeds demand...... Smash your hands. ”

Smashed? Shen Jinqiao's own stupid big brother: "Smash your hands? Or was it pitted? ”

Shen Anyang was anxious: "There are too many people who go to the pearl business this year, and there are also many people who stock up on goods, and I am not the only one who can't find a market now." ”

Shen Jinqiao didn't bother to listen to his hard mouth: "Is there any goods?" Take it for me to see. ”

Shen Anyang came with a little bit, a bag of pearls.

"These pearls are big and small, and I look pretty good." Shen Anyang wanted to forcibly find some confidence for himself.

Shen Jinqiao opened it and poured out the pearl to take a look, and shook his head: "Not to mention the size, many of these are defective, the surface is not smooth, and the shape is ugly, this is picking up other people's scraps, right?" ”

Shen Anyang frowned: "Is it really so bad?" At the time, they said they were the best pearls, and I thought the others were about the same as me. ”

Shen Jinqiao sighed: "Big brother, profiteers and profiteers, no traitors and no businessmen, if they don't take it away, where will they have the money to go south to buy pearls?" Pearls are screened, especially those used for jewelry, and they must be the best of the best, these ......"

He didn't need to finish speaking, Shen Anyang understood, and took the bag back in frustration, he had no other way to come to Shen Jinqiao, mainly because his mother also invested a lot of money, and if she lost her few savings, she would even have to go into debt.

He also found other buyers, and everyone said that they were saturated and couldn't accept him, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Shen Jinqiao with a cheeky face.

"The role of pearls is not only jewelry, pearls, cold, sweet and salty, into the heart and lungs, with calming the heart, clearing the liver and removing the puff, muscle building and detoxification, generally speaking, such bad quality pearls will be ground into powder and sent to the hands of medicinal herb merchants into medicine, and some of them will also fall into the rouge shop to add gouache."

Shen Jinqiao's clear voice was not slow, Shen Anyang looked up at her for a moment, and hope ignited in his eyes: "I understand." ”

Shen Jinqiao rolled his eyes: "What do you understand?" Now is the peak season for pearls from the south, and all pharmacies and fat powder shops have fixed suppliers, and the prices are cheaper, who do you think will accept them? Even if I have a shop in need, I'm afraid I'm going to have enough at the moment, where is it used? ”

Shen Anyang was stupid again: "Then this ...... What exactly should I do? ”

Shen Jinqiao took a deep breath, he was really convinced: "Take Lu Qing over to take a look, let him find someone who knows the goods to help classify them, and after separating the pearls, then find Grandpa Lu to help him with personal favors, find a good supplier, and help sell in batches, of course, don't want to make a lot of money in this market right now, you should laugh at the capital." ”

Shen Anyang is already very satisfied with being able to protect his capital: "I understand, thank you sister, it seems that I am really not suitable for this business, and I am not even as good as my sister." ”

Shen Jinqiao looked at the deflated Shen Anyang, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "How is the eldest brother's martial arts?" ”

Shen Anyang was stunned for a moment, and replied: "It's okay, but it's not very powerful, my father is now forcing me to practice basic skills every day." ”

Shen Jinqiao narrowed his eyes: "Has the eldest brother ever thought about what he will do in the future?" ”

Shen Anyang is a standard gentleman, the kind who spends his days in chaos, where has he ever thought about such a far-reaching problem.

was suddenly asked by Shen Jinqiao, Shen Anyang was still a little embarrassed: "My martial arts are average, my literature is so-so, and I can't do business......"

When I think about it, I feel like a waste.
