Article 1318
My aunt said to let Ning'er accept it, and Ning'er took it, and when she turned around, she also brought some food in the palace to her aunt and grandmother, a few jars of good wine for her uncle, and some gifts for her aunt. ”
Yuzhu hurriedly said: "Yes, master, the slave and maid will go." ”
Qingyi also smiled and said: "My aunt can go to my mother's place to walk around when she has time, but now my father and grandfather have no relatives in Kyoto, so my aunt will go to Gufu to sit when she has time." ”
Fang Shi also smiled and said: "Well, your mother and I really move around a lot, but this time is relatively busy and delayed, I will go to the Gu Mansion to talk to your mother in two days." ”
Hearing Fang's words, Qingyi was relieved, or her mother didn't know much about people in Kyoto, and she rarely came out to participate in any banquets, spring came, this grandfather and father sometimes have to return to Jiangnan, and her mother will inevitably be lonely, and she can't go back often, the best way is to find a few trustworthy sisters for her mother.
Uncle and aunt are good candidates, Fang sat for a while and said: "Ning'er, my aunt came to thank you today, I have time for you to come to the house these days, the old lady has been talking about you every day these days, maybe I haven't seen you for a long time, don't forget to go around." ”
Qingyi also smiled and said: "What did my aunt say, when I have time, I will go to the house to see my aunt and grandmother, and my aunt can come to the house to find me directly if she has something." ”
Mrs. Fang didn't say anything, and hurried back to the house with the gift from Qingyi before it was too early.
Qingyi also sighed that this ancient woman is not easy to do, although she is married and moves more freely, but it is not easy to do a good job up and down in this house.
After the Fang clan left, Qing Yi returned to the warm pavilion, remembering that the Fang clan's clothes today were all old materials that were not very fashionable, similar to the sister-in-law's dress, maybe there was really an economic problem in the house, and the patterns and clothes of the cloth should have been at least a year ago.
It can be seen that the house has been strapped for some time, but the Fang family didn't say anything today, could it be that his aunt and grandmother wanted to see him?
Just thinking that Woo-hee would come back, he looked at Qingyi pondering and asked, "Baby, what are you thinking?" ”
Qingyi said his thoughts and concerns, and Yu Xi said: "Ning'er, now it's not just the Yasukuni Mansion that is like this, it is estimated that what is left in the mansion is the dowry of my aunt and grandmother, but how long can I last just pointing to these dowry shops?" ”
"The emperor began to slowly take back the things of the family three years ago, and now he has seen very good results, not only the Yasukuni Mansion, but also the Zhenguo Mansion, as well as the Longwei General's Mansion, Du Rui also said before, the industry of the Zhenguo Mansion has been reduced by fifty, and if it goes on like this, only the plaque of the Zhenguo Mansion remains."
Qingyi frowned and said: "It's already so serious, it seems that the emptiness of the treasury is real, but why is the He family so beautiful, and where does their money come from?" ”
Yu Xi said: "The things of the He family rely on shamelessness, and the He family relies on the policy of marriage, pulling out the women from near and far of the He family to marry, and then asking for more dowries, which has really accumulated a lot in the past few years,"
"There are a lot of marriages in the family, that is, the royal merchants or famous merchants everywhere have the women of the He family, compared to the Diao family, which is just competing for the status of a concubine or a flat wife, what the He family directly wants is real money, otherwise the family is in decline, why is the He family unique?"
It turns out that there is such a name here, this He family is really a thief, and it can really make so much excitement, which shows how ill-intentioned this He family is.
Qingyi said: "Why doesn't the old emperor care about this family?" ”
Yuan Yuxi said mysteriously: "According to the investigation of the secret guard, fifty percent of the wealth of the He family was handed over to the emperor, which will also be the reason for the beauty of the concubine in recent years, and the emperor also acquiesced, as for why the emperor is still in deficit in the treasury, I don't know." ”
Qingyi feels that there must be a problem here, but what is this problem?
It is estimated that he will wait for the answer to be revealed, and how can the emperor be sure that the He family will give fifty percent?
This is all unknown, but the He family is really smart, knowing that this is a shortcut, and it is a shortcut to power and money, and it doesn't require a lot of effort, those who want to tie up with the He family will naturally lean forward, or the kind that moves forward bravely.
In this way, the He family's profit is not a small number.
Qingyi told Yu Xi his thoughts, and Yu Xi said: "The affairs of the He family are still being investigated, and the baby forgot how much wealth does He Ciji's brother have to give to the He family every year in the ninth room of the palace to be carried by the He family, the He family is not only married, but also those relatives near and far, this trick is used well." ”
Qingyi and Yuxi found out that the He family had been developing rapidly in a few years, and it happened that at this time, Leng Li said outside: "The master has something important to say." ”
Yuan Yuxi said: "Well, let's talk about it." ”
Leng Li said outside: "The news has just come out in the palace that Concubine Hua has been promoted to the imperial concubine, and the Internal Affairs Office is preparing a ceremony for sealing the concubine." ”
Yuan Yuxi said: "Well, it doesn't matter if the He family will come to this point sooner or later, just let our people stare at them, no need to make any moves, just watch." ”
"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will go and order." Leng Li turned around and left.
Qingyi looked at the sunny weather, I don't know if this news is good, "Yuxi, the old concubine, climbed quite fast, I don't know how much wealth I gave the emperor, and I got such a title." ”
Yuan Yuxi said: "These things are all things that pass by the eye, today we can go up, tomorrow we can also come down, ignore them first, look at the current situation we have to work hard to accumulate wealth, it is true that our industry is developing first." ”
Qingyi said: "Well, this is good, I like it very much to make money, no matter how it changes here, we won't stay for long, let them toss it themselves, tomorrow I will go back to my mother's house, Yuxi craftsmen will rely on you to stare at it, first make some crystal products, we will open up a separate area in Ruyi Pavilion to sell crystal products, the production of crystal products is scarce, as for the price, we will have the highest price, what do you think?" ”
Qingyi smiled happily, as if it was silver with white flowers, and Huang Cancan's gold had been earned into his pocket.
Yu Xi looked at Qingyi's smiling and simple appearance, and kissed Qingyi's delicate little face and said, "When did the baby become so wealthy?" But the baby said that it is naturally good, you don't have to worry about the craftsman, just give me the drawings, I'll look at it, and you will go back to your father's mother, and you have to participate in the industry in Jiangnan, and sell it in different places,"
"In addition, the sixteen painting boats that I got back from the Diao family just now Leng Yuan told me that they have all been refitted, and now is a good time to go green, once our painting boat is launched, it is estimated that it will be very popular, and this silver is a lot."
Qingyi was naturally happy to hear this news, no matter how the outside world changes, what others think of herself and Yuxi, as long as you have enough strength, it is a good thing, and it is a blessing not to rely on and rely on anyone!
Qingyi smiled: "Well, this is not bad, it seems that the efficiency of Leng Yuan is also good, Yangchun March is a good time to go green, in previous years, there is no decent painting boat in Kyoto, even if it is not the Diao family before, the last time we looked at it, the decoration of this painting boat is too rough, this time after integration, a little embellishment, there will be a different effect, of course, you have to book in advance, the one with the highest price has a day." ”
Yuan Yuxi pinched Qingyi's small nose and said: "Well, these are all designed, there is a property of ours by the lake, it is a teahouse, and every morning at the time of the auction, the book for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is auctioned there, and the same is the highest price, don't look at the family in Kyoto that is suppressed by the emperor, but the family with the foundation still has the same economic strength, and it is not limited to these small silver." ”
Qingyi smiled, but it is not that there are many families in this dynasty, and the emperor can't contain it, and if he can't make it complain, it's okay for him to spend money willingly.
Qingyi said uneasily: "Well, Yuxi wants to inform these people of the rules of the boat ride, so as not to use fireworks, candles or something inappropriately, or disobediently go to the stern of the boat to save the beauty of a hero in the water, but people who are not good can not go to the painting boat, so as not to dirty the place." ”
"In addition, when there is a loss of property, or there is a loss, we must also divide it clearly, write these down and hand them to sign and confirm, and compensate according to the price if there is any problem, so that we can be much easier and make money easily."
Yuan Yuxi looked at Qingyi in surprise, his little wife's brains are all strange ideas, and they are all very practical ideas, they sound very fresh, and they are also handy to use, Yuan Yuxi repeatedly sighed that he may have married a fairy.
Yuan Yuxi happily hugged Qingyi's body and said: "What the baby said is very true, this husband will immediately let Leng Yuan write clearly, three days later, this crystal sales area and the painting boat will start business at the same time, our important goal this year is to rely on legitimate means to make money." ”
Qingyi took the initiative to kiss Yuxi and said, "Yes, Xianggong is very reasonable, and the concubine listens to Xianggong." ”
The two of them were happily in a mess, and the corners of Mama Shui's mouth, who was waiting outside the house, were also full of smiles, no matter what the reason, as long as the master was happy and happy.
On this day, Qingyi handed over the artwork of the crystal jewelry accumulated before to Yuan Yuxi, and it is estimated that there are about 100 kinds, including Yingluo, necklaces, earrings, jade pendants, bead hairpins, bracelets, waist chains, rings, etc.
At the same time, there are many gemstone artworks that have been made, and these gemstones of extremely high purity combined with red gold are sold for a lot of money, but many people buy them.
The young couple is brewing for the arrival of good days, and they are also rich in money, and this is the best shopping season in spring, and Qingyi and Yuxi are about to make a lot of money.
Thinking of these Qingyi is very happy, and working harder with Yuxi, this is a very good opportunity, after a busy day, Qingyi and Yuxi are tired and sleeping.
On the second day, when the sun was shining, Qingyi woke up, Yuan Yuxi had already gone out early, Qingyi remembered that there were still a lot of things today, so he quickly asked Lingzhu to change his clothes, and he was going to go to the shop today, and he was going back to his parents' house.
Lingzhu said: "The master said that you should rest for a while, and the prince will take care of the things outside, and the master can walk around at will." ”
Qingyi said: "Did the prince say when he will come back?" ”
"The prince said that if the master wakes up, you can go to the shop to see, if the Ruyi Pavilion is not there, you will go to the painting boat by the lake, the prince said that if you want the master, you must not forget to tie the cloak, there is still some cold outside, don't catch the wind cold."
Lingzhu tirelessly rambled on the words explained by the prince, Qingyi listened to Meizizi and smiled, it is rare that Yuxi is not a person who can speak sweetly, but now he can be so considerate, Qingyi feels very happy.
Qingyi nodded, motioned to Lingzhu to hurry up and dress up, and after breakfast, he took Mama Shui and Mama Ruo out of the palace, all the way to Ruyi Pavilion.
The bustling crowd on the street also increased because of the good weather, and Mama Shui poured a cup of fine flower tea for Qingyi in the car and said with a smile: "Master, look at the lively outside, the weather is good, and they all come out to visit the garden and step into the spring, and they want to come to the master's shop to earn more silver." ”
Mama Ruo also smiled on the side: "It's good to make money, the biggest pleasure of our master is to earn silver, besides, no one dislikes that they have a lot of silver, and we won't stay in this place for a long time, so naturally the more we earn, the better." ”
Qingyi took a sip of fragrant flower tea and said: "Well, if what Mama said is reasonable, maybe people are not perfect and it is impossible for everyone to like them, but silver is not guilty, whether it is adults and children, or wealthy dealers and pawns, they all like it, which is also the foundation of life." ”
Shui Mama smiled: "No, what the master said is the most reasonable, no matter who is powerful, a penny is still difficult to defeat a hero, people live to eat and dress, and the source of everything is silver, so as long as this silver is obtained in a normal way, everyone thinks that the more the better." ”
The master and servant happily went to the most prosperous street in Kyoto, Ryusho Street, which is the most lively street, and the best shops are concentrated here.
This is not a carriage that stopped in front of the gate of the famous Ruyi Pavilion in Kyoto, and Mama Shui and Mama Ruo got off first, and the coachman Yu Ping put the wooden steps on the ground, and Qingyi got out of the carriage.
Qingyi really rarely comes here usually, although it is the property of Heping City, but in order to avoid being targeted by the royal people, Qingyi and Yuxi rarely appear here directly, and they are ordered to do everything Leng Li and Jin Feng.
This is not this one to come and see, Ruyi Pavilion has three floors, the first floor is to sell ordinary jewelry, the second layer is valuable jewelry, and the third layer is a valuable treasure.
On the first floor, there is also a sales area for special items, which now displays the more popular red gold openwork jewelry this year.
And Ruyi Pavilion has been renovated, and Qingyi in Suzhou and Hangzhou gold shop is somewhat similar, but there are also differences, the store is not only jewelry, but also some town house items and some excellent ornaments, because there are many types of items, so there are a lot of guests.
When Qingyi's master and servant came in, it was the busiest time in the store, the clerk of the shopkeeper was busy, and the little maid who received the male guests and the mother-in-law who received the female guests were also very busy.
The shopkeeper's abacus crackled, the cash register received soft hands, and the shopkeeper's face smiled brighter than chrysanthemums.
This is not the shopkeeper's shouting: "Yo, isn't this Lord Wang, this is to take your family to choose something, this is the best thing in the latest issue of your store, each one is unique, you choose to look at it first, if there are any requirements, call the mother-in-law to set it down, so that you can pick up the goods and inspect it, please here, please here." ”
The white and chubby Lord Wang took his wife and children upstairs and entered a private room, Lord Wang's daughter Wang Jiaojiao looked very similar to her mother, Mrs. Wang must have been a beauty when she was young.
Even if it is the twilight of the beauty, but the enthusiasm for jewelry is still undiminished, this Wang Daren's brother is the head of the Wang family of the imperial merchant in Kyoto, that is, the son of the Wang family who is favored by the Diao family, Wang Jie's father.
This Lord Wang is middle-aged and wealthy, and now he is the fourth-rank official of the Hanlin Academy, but his ancestors have some family backgrounds, and his younger brother is also an imperial businessman, so there has never been a shortage of pockets.
