This Mingshu knows that the valuable ones are those beads that are in good condition. can be in good condition, all of them are one in a million.

But in the next generation, there will be more people, and even the beads of average color will be much more expensive than they are today.

Mingshu smiled and said, "Steward Li, pearls are popular among noble ladies nowadays, and there are many seekers. It's hard to find good pearls, but they are scarce and expensive, and you can't make money? ”

Steward Li's brows furrowed even more, and he said, "Pearl Tianzi is popular now? ”

Li Jiabai's industry is spread across half of the city, and even in Kyoto, the news will never be closed. But the news that Steward Li didn't know about himself, how could the little lady in the Gu family's boudoir know.

Mingshu knew this, so she smiled: "I was fortunate to meet Princess Yiyang a while ago, and the pearl she used was extremely beautiful. The few little ladies I saw liked it so much. ”

After a pause, "It's just that Princess Yiyang will wear pearl heads at the banquet in half a month, so a few of us will press it first." ”

If you are attending any banquet, makeup and jewelry will be ventilated in private, so as not to bump into it.

Steward Li still felt that Mingshu was a little nonsense, and said: "It is the best thing to have a batch of pearl jewelry from Baohua Building, but it is too risky to let Huzhou start raising mussels." ”

Although the trend among women is spread to the nobles in the palace, and the nobles' families are passed to the people. But who said that as soon as the princess wears it, it will definitely become popular underneath.

He was worried that this would be a bit of a blow to Mingshu, and he was about to add another sentence to speak more mellowly. I heard Mingshu say extremely calmly: "It won't be unpopular." She looked at Steward Li and said, "If a person wants to come out, he must have something that is not out of the group, otherwise he will be out of the crowd." Steward Li, business in Kyoto is not easy to do, and it is not difficult to do, but it is difficult to reunite with his wife and children, right?"

The little girl's words seemed to pierce his heart, Li Jiabo put him in Kyoto, not Huzhou, which has the most industry, on the one hand, trust, on the other hand, he is not flexible enough, and it is difficult to make a lot of money.

Steward Li gritted his teeth in his heart and said, "I understand your reasoning, but it takes four years for a batch of pearls to be raised, so where can I wait?" ”

I heard Mingshu say: "The East China Sea is on the shore, just buy pearls." However, it is not enough to rely on acquisitions, if you raise freshwater pearls in the Huzhou area, plus the supply of goods from the Hepu area, it is considered a two-way method. ”

However, the southern pearl of Daqi is round and shiny, dense and harmonious, and elegant and beautiful. Not to mention mainland businessmen, even overseas foreigners are also rushing to buy them.

Although Li Jiabo has a fixed supply of goods, he can no longer expand. But the pearls of Daqi have been prevalent for decades and are not declining, and it is nothing to raise pearls for a few years.

Steward Li knocked on his head and said, "I have to explain this matter to the master." As for Baohua Building, I will tell you and the goldsmith about this matter. ”

Mingshu nodded, and said politely: "Uncle, you said that Kyoto noble girls have become a trend, and then persuade him." ”

Steward Li nodded in embarrassment. Mingshu was not worried, if Steward Li was not moved by what he said, he would not even tell his uncle directly.

In the end, I think she's a little girl.

Mingshu personally went to meet the goldsmiths, and said the style to be made, and then went back.

……

In the blink of an eye, there is a banquet in Prince Gong's mansion.

In fact, in ordinary people, girls don't move around much until they are twelve or thirteen. It's just that Liu Yurun loves to play, and since she was a child, she has not asked Mingshu to go out with her, so Mingshu started to go to banquets when she was a few years old.

The nobles sitting in the inner room, Mingshu almost all recognized, except for a few young new faces.

And Liu Yurun had already arrived, and she was talking with Mu Qingwan. Mingshu walked over and startled Liu Yurun.

"Ling Ling, you're not dressed up and you're coming so slowly."

Mingshu looked at her clothes and said, "My eighth sister is also here, she didn't go out much in the past, and the second aunt asked me to take her." ”

So she instructed Gu Mingyuan's maid to change her into suitable clothes and makeup, and carefully explained the rules in the palace.

And then there was a delay.

Liu Yurun nodded, she was not interested in Gu Mingyuan.

Mu Qingwan said: "Your third sister and fourth sister are also here?" ”

Mingshu shook her head and said, "Only the third sister is here." So she threw Gu Mingkite to Gu Mingchu.

As for Gu Mingyue, she had been depressed for a long time because of what happened before, so she didn't go out this time.

Mu Qingwan nodded, Gu Siniang was submissive, Gu Sanniang was arrogant, and that Baniang must also like to stammer Gu Mingchu.

Mu Qingwan was playing backgammon with Liu Yurun.

When Mingshu came, she couldn't help but say narrowly: "Ah Wan, let's play Go." ”

was so angry that Liu Yurun threw down the chess pieces and glared at Mingshu, "I'm leaving, you're still angry with me!" ”

Mu Qingwan was inexplicable, what was going to go.

"You're leaving?" Mingshu was extremely surprised.

Liu Yurun's eyes turned red in an instant, but he couldn't cry in someone else's house, so he had to hold back his tears and said: "My father was hit by an arrow and is very sick." I made an appointment with you to come, and I can't leave today, otherwise I would have gone to see my daddy earlier......"

Mu Qingwan lowered her eyes and patted Liu Yurun's back, but she didn't speak.

Mingshu didn't know if it was because Zhenguo Gong was shot by an arrow in his previous life that the children of the Liu family went to the northwest.

"Don't be sad, isn't it okay if people are fine?"

Mingshu coaxed her, and Liu Yurun slowly got better.

After such a fuss, the three of them also quieted down and didn't talk much.

But suddenly someone called Mingshu.

"Order."

Mingshu looked back and saw Cui Peiran dressed up. Cui Peiran is thirteen this year and already has the outline of a beauty.

Wearing a long tooth-white gown, a long skirt with light smoke and purple, full eyebrows and eyes, red lips and white teeth, particularly elegant and pleasant.

She looked at Mingshu carefully before she smiled and said, "You are so pure today, I don't even recognize you." ”

How can you be a guest at someone else's house, Mingshu also smiled: "The county lord's white clothes are more elegant and beautiful." ”

I returned it without any seriousness.

Cui Peiran smiled even more, walked over and took Mingshu's hand, as if she was about to lower her voice, and said, "The Queen Mother is also coming today." ”

"Huh?" Mingshu also smiled: "The county lord's news is really sensitive. ”

In fact, the rest of the people also heard it, and their hearts were worried.

The crown prince Cui Zhaoyou is seventeen this year, and he has reached the age of marriage. The Queen Mother didn't ask about miscellaneous matters for a long time, and suddenly came to a banquet outside the palace, which really made people not speculate here.

Mingshu held her chin and thought carefully about Cui Zhaoyou. When she died in her previous life, Cui Zhaoyou did not become the emperor, but became a prisoner of the Huns.

At that time, the capital of Daqi also moved to Lin'an, and a prince was hurriedly appointed as the emperor, but at that time she was already very sick and didn't know who it was.
