Chapter 43: Etiquette
After getting into the carriage, Daiyu couldn't wait to open it, and there was a set of pearl heads inside, all of which were pink, although they were not gorgeous or pure, Daiyu smiled and said to Jia, "Uncle is so generous!" ”
Jia Shi smiled and rubbed the bag on her daughter's head, "I haven't seen the world, what is this?" Your second aunt is just coaxing you to have fun, and this idea is also worthy of your gratitude. ”
She shook her head, and she didn't know what she thought, so she said to Daiyu, "Your second aunt is from the Jinling royal family, and when the old lady of his family was there, he was in charge of the tribute and congratulations of various countries, but all people from foreign countries have to rely on her family to support them." At that time, all the foreign ships and goods in Guangdong, Fujian, Yunnan and Zhejiang belonged to their family. ”
"If your second aunt is willing to give you a Western-style one, it is still rare, and this kind of rosewood is nothing. In addition, in the pearl, it has always been that the west pearl is not as good as the east pearl, and the east pearl is not as good as the south pearl. Nanzhuli, there are a lot of male protagonists, the particles are large, round, crystalline, and radiant, you are young, I didn't teach you these on weekdays, and you should learn some in the future. ”
Daiyu's face couldn't help but feel a little feverish, and she closed the mirror, she couldn't tell Jia's that she was because this mirror's was rosewood, so she spontaneously felt that it must be precious, where did she think that for Jia's family, it was just the opposite of her, but she felt that those rare Western goods on the market were good.
Instead, Jia Shi opened the mirror, she twisted one, and took off a headband from Daiyu's head, which was also inlaid with a circle of pearls, and compared the two times, let Daiyu see, "Look at this color, although the pearl on this headband is an east pearl, not a south pearl, it is better than what your aunt gave you." ”
"Although powder beads are rare, you can make it up, it's not nothing, and you look at these beads and laugh generally, but they are less round, compared to your string of headbands, the quality is indeed inferior, can you see?"
Along the way, Jia and her, like that intimate handkerchief, told her a lot of things in the capital, which silk shop has good fabrics, which ones have miscellaneous patterns and varieties, and which jewelry shops have skillful craftsmen, and which ones are not adulterated at all.
Daiyu can also be regarded as seeing some of the world, and at the end of the day I heard Jia's Dao, "When it comes to materials, there are many varieties, from light to heavy, from cold to summer, different occasions, the materials are not the same, there are spinning, crepe, yarn, silk, if you talk about workmanship, there are two-color gold, gold hundred butterflies, gold embroidery...... It's a lot of fun, and it's not something that can be said clearly in a while, and it's not something you can remember. ”
As he spoke, the time was much faster than when he had gone before. Brother Wei followed Mama in the back car, got in the car and fell asleep, got out of the car, and didn't wake up yet. When the car arrived at the second gate, Lin Ruhai first picked up his wife and daughter to get out of the car, and then hugged his son from the grandmother's hand, and the family of four went back to the upper room.
On this day at home, it was Zhang Luo of Lin Gui's family, and at this moment, the Jia family came back, so he hurriedly came up and said, "Today, the two wives on North Street have sent someone to send something over, this is a gift list, saying that if the wife is free tomorrow, they will come over to resign." ”
Jia Shi took the gift list, Daiyu came over to take a look, and saw that the above columns were very valuable, and there were one or two kinds of porcelain, about old antiques, she was sighing in her heart, Jia Shi had already sneered, and threw the gift list on the kang table, "Everything is also accepted, I didn't accept it before, I didn't want to bear a bad reputation, and now no matter what, we should also accept it." Tomorrow will be nothing? ”
"Not really!" Lin Guijia said with a smile, "If the wife sets the date of departure, we don't know what to be busy with, and today the Beijing County Mansion also sent a post, saying that the house has newly obtained a few pots of good flowers, and I want to invite the wives who have made friends with several houses to take a look at the freshness, and I also gave the wife a post." If you go, you will have to wear your clothes. ”
"That's the case, the Beijing County Mansion can't help but go, no matter how busy you are, you have to go for a while." Jia Shi thought for a while and said, "Besides, you can draw up a gift list when you go back, send a car of gifts, and tell the North Street side, thank them for the gift, we will not suffer in vain, and the exchange of gifts is the most important." Just that salute, just look at the piles of eyes. ”
Lin Guijia understood in a blink of an eye, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mrs., I can still handle this idea, I must look presentable, we can't give it up much, I want to let the outsiders know that our pro-branch faction will not bully those who are out of the side branches." ”
"That's not all. only went to the palace, and was told by the concubine that he loved decency every day, and he didn't have to be bullied. Now, I don't bother to care about these decencies, how to do it or how to do it. ”
On the second day, Lin Gui's family went to do these things, and told the Jia family that he was accused by the concubines in the palace, and some people who should know also knew about it. That's an afterword.
Since Lin Ruhai entered the door, he was crooked on the couch, holding a book and reading, Brother Wei was lying next to him, sleeping with a small snoring, at this time he moved the book away a little, raised his eyes, "There is something I want to tell you, I can't be empty all day today." I got up early and the emperor summoned me to talk about an errand, and added a new one, saying that His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince also had something to go to Yangzhou. ”
Daiyu was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, how could this be? She didn't forget, that day in the palace, she was quite a little sexy, this way, a month or two of the trip, do you have to get along day and night?
How do you get along with this? This is not a kind of getting along, but inviting a god to come, to offer, coax, and please day and night.
Daiyu was about to open her mouth to refuse, but suddenly thought that this was not something that could be refused if she wanted to, so she had to shut up, nestled in Jia's arms, and while feeling her gentle touch, she heard her exclaim, "His Royal Highness is going to Yangzhou, how can Concubine Rong be willing to give up this child?" What can he do with such a young child? ”
Lin Ruhai obviously didn't want to talk about royal affairs, and waved his hand, "This way to Yangzhou, you mothers and sons will go first, and His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince will also ask you to take care of it more." The safety along the way, I entrusted a proper dart game, and now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, and the road is by water, there will be nothing wrong, you don't have to worry. ”
Is this something that light is worried about? At that time, there will be a little ancestor on the boat, but now, there is no room for Daiyu to put her beak, and she thinks that Yun Zhen will not go out alone, she must bring a lot of people, maybe it will not be a boat by then, and she is a little worried now.
"What about you?" Jia asked worriedly.
"I, you don't care. I can't just go all the way and go empty-handed, go, my eyes black, I don't know anything. ”
After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he seemed to be a little tired, put his hand on his forehead, blocked a little light, closed his eyes, and remembered what the emperor told him today, "...... After you went, it was important to solve the drawbacks of salt accumulation, and now the 'small introduction method' that is being implemented in Lianghuai is no longer useful, but the salt administration can not be chaotic, I have let out the wind, and said things with treasury silver, more than 10 million taels of treasury silver is a big matter, but if the salt administration is chaotic, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
Salt is a matter of importance related to the national economy and people's livelihood, is the top priority of a country's plan, the salt of the two Huai, sold to Jiangxi, Anhui, Henan, two lakes, and even Sichuan, Shaanxi and Jin also have a leading shore, and the first few state capitals, and is the important place of grain production, if the salt is messy, the people can not eat salt, no spirit, how to work?
