180 Talking about business on a whim
Dong Emiaoyi knew that there was a fisherman who saved Yinyu, but she didn't know that there was a girl at home, and this girl followed Yinyu to Guangzhou.
I think it's because she was confined before, so no one dared to tell her. Dong E Miaoyi looked at Man Niang, Man Niang is about ten **, she looks like a girl who has suffered hardships, the skin of her hands and face looks a little rough, although her appearance is average, but it gives people a very simple feeling, and her eyes are very simple.
Therefore, Dong Emiaoyi also had a good impression of Man Niang, and only smiled: "It's better to play here, I didn't know that Man Niang was in the house before, so I neglected ......" Man Niang hurriedly waved her hand and said: "Fujin, don't say that, it's me who bothered ......" said and lowered his head.
In fact, Manniang has been looked down upon here these days, Yinyu must not be so careful, and the other minions looked at Yinyu who was not interested in Manniang, so they disdained her, she was honest, and she didn't dare to speak when she was bullied.
Dong E Miaoyi said: "Actually, we should still thank Miss Man, otherwise our lord will not come back, I don't know if Miss Man has any unfulfilled wishes or requirements?" I can be regarded as thanking Miss Man. Dong Emiaoyi saw the affection in Manniang's eyes, she said that she could be a temptation or a sincerity, but if Manniang really said that she would be a concubine for Yinyu, she would not agree.
It doesn't matter if Yinyu has one more concubine, it's just that he is alone in the empty room, but Manniang is Yinyu's life-saving benefactor after all, so it is too much to delay Manniang.
To tell the truth, the gap between Man Niang and Yinyu is too big, and Man Niang can't learn what to do as a servant. Manniang's eyes lit up, looking at Dong Emiaoyi, Dong Emiaoyi only lowered her head to investigate, the light in Manniang's eyes slowly disappeared, she was not as good as the woman in front of her, not her identity or appearance, but the status of the person in front of her in Yinyu's mind.
Tang Gongzi really likes his wife, she just saved his life, and she didn't save him to be a concubine or a dove to occupy the magpie's nest, she just did things with one heart.
If she could, she hoped that Tang Gongzi would always be Tang Gongzi, but Tang Gongzi was someone else's husband after all.
Man Niang smiled, shook her head and said, "Thank you Fujin, I don't have any wishes, I just hope to go home early." Dong E Miaoyi was stunned, a little surprised, looking at Manniang's eyes with a little more sincerity, not everyone will give up their hearts for the sake of temptation or **.
Dong Emiaoyi said: "Then wait for tomorrow, the master doesn't know that you are leaving, I always have to ask him, and I should also help you prepare some ......" Manniang shook her head and said: "Thank you Fujin, I really don't have to, the tenth master also left some silver taels before, and I and ...... Tang Gongzi ...... paused, and smiled embarrassedly: "Before, Jiu Ye was afraid of revealing his identity, so he only told us his surname Tang, and I got used to it." Then he said: "I have no other relationship with the Ninth Master before, don't misunderstand Fujin, and besides, I didn't save the Ninth Master for those silvers, it wasn't the Ninth Master that day, we will also save it, but thank the Ninth Master for being a good person." Dong E Miaoyi sighed when she heard this, and said, "What Miss Man said is right, it's because my vision is too narrow. When Manniang heard Dong Miaoyi say this, she was startled, waved her hand hurriedly, and stammered: "No...... No...... It's that I can't speak. Dong E Miaoyi smiled: "No matter what, you should also talk to our master." I've already sent someone to go just now, so I'll ask Miss Man to wait a little longer. Manniang didn't know when someone went out, and when she saw Dong Miaoyi say this, she could only wait.
Dong E Miaoyi slowly chatted with Manniang, where she lived, what she usually does, and so on. Man Niang relaxed after a while, and talked a lot with Dong Emiaoyi.
The Manniang family made a living from fishing, and the island where they were located was not large, and there were not many people on the island, and because of the geographical location, where there would be a lot of shellfish, they would take out those pearls and sell them to merchants in Macau or Guangzhou.
Dong Emiaoyi was surprised and said: "Since you sell pearls, it should be very profitable, how can you ......" It looks so poor?
Man Niang was not angry, only smiled: "Fu Jin didn't know that although there were a lot of pearls that could be fished over there, the quality was different, and my father and I had a small boat and couldn't go too deep, so we could only fish for some small shells." In fact, there are big shellfish, and my father and I got them, and they didn't pay a high price. Dong Emiaoyi nodded, this is true, just these two people, no money and no power, in case someone has bad intentions for this pearl...... Thinking about it, Dong E Miaoyi also understood why Manniang didn't want silver, they couldn't spend it, and it was easy to attract thieves.
Dong Emiaoyi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and asked carefully how many people there are on this island, and what do you do for a living...... was chatting, Yinyu hurried back, he didn't tell Dong Emiaoyi Manniang before, firstly, because he was afraid that Dong Emiaoyi would misunderstand, and secondly, he didn't know how to arrange Manniang for a while.
The affection in Manniang's heart, he understands, and Manniang's father is also old, originally entrusted to her to take care of Manniang, Yinyu is planning to recognize Manniang as her sister, but Manniang did not agree, wanted to go back, the two were deadlocked, but Manniang decided to go back.
When Dong E Miaoyi heard Yinyu's meaning, she felt that she thought her sister was also very good. Manniang's temperament and morality are very good, and she is not so greedy and cheap, so she can be trusted.
Now even Dong E Miaoyi said the same, Man Niang is unwilling and has no choice, but Man Niang does not plan to return to the capital, she does not want to leave her home.
Dong Emiaoyi had an idea, only let Manniang go back to the room first and stay for a few more days, she discussed with Yinyu and then told Manniang that she had to ask Manniang for help.
After Manniang returned to the room, Dong Emiaoyi said to Yinyu: "Since Manniang is unwilling to leave her hometown, why do you force her?" Dong Emiaoyi could see that Manniang was actually a person with ideas, but Manniang listened to Yinyu's words more.
Dong E Miaoyi felt very strange about Manniang, feeling both sympathy and helplessness. Maybe Manniang can make Yinyu remember it more by doing this.
Yin Yu smiled: "What? Jealous? Dong Emiaoyi glanced at Yinyu and said, "What if you are jealous?" She is your savior, and her conduct looks good, but I can't do anything to repay virtue with resentment and revenge. Yin Yu said helplessly: "Ye just said a word." Dong Emiaoyi didn't want to joke with Yinyu anymore, so she said: "I mean, it's better to occupy that small island ......" Yinyu's eyes lit up, and he said softly: "Ye has long thought about finding a place to live in seclusion, but he didn't think of the island, but this idea is not bad, but is this island too close to Guangzhou?" "In the future, if there is a case, it is not bad to move there, but I am afraid that if there is a conflict, it may not be safe.
Dong Emiaoyi smiled: "I don't think as much, but even if you want to find such a place, you have to take your time, this place is already good, wait for a reserve place for the time being, not to mention, the fishermen there are all living on pearls, so let's just collect these pearls in the future, I will make some rouge gouache here, or jewelry decoration, okay?" Yin Yu smiled: "Co-author, this is your purpose." Dong Emiaoyi smiled: "I'm not here for my lord's sister-in-law?" It also took care of her. And if she's really good, we can rest assured that we'll leave the island to her. After a pause, he said: "In the future, I will give Xin'er as a dowry, if there is another case, it is unlikely that we can escape here, but Xin'er can escape there." Yinyu nodded when he heard this, and said, "It's still thoughtful to the lady." On the second day, Dong Emiaoyi discussed the matter of pearls with Manniang, and as for the occupation of the island, I will not talk about it for the time being, so as not to scare Manniang, not to mention, we must first see if it is really suitable for living there.
When Manniang heard that Dong E Miaoyi planned to buy their pearls, she was happy, after all, their island was a little biased, and not many merchants were willing to come, and even if they came, the price would be too low.
What's more, Dong E Miaoyi did not buy the pearls of their family, but the pearls of the entire fishing village.
Dong Emiaoyi already had a lot of ideas after this night, so she discussed carefully with Manniang, first of all, the pearls should be separated according to the size and color, and then they will come to collect them every month, as for the price, she will send the shopkeeper to look at the past, and will give money according to the grade, which will definitely be more than those merchants before it, but naturally it is still not as good as the price of the shops in the city, after all, these pearls have to be transported to the capital, or shops in other places, and the cost is to increase.
Man Niang didn't have a big opinion, after all, the previous caravan had only passed through the island for three or four months, and the silver given was small.
It's just that Manniang is worried, are those pearly rashes either? Dong Emiaoyi knew that Manniang was worried that she didn't have so much money, or that she was worried that she was doing this to repay her kindness, so she only reassured Manniang that she was afraid that she would have to go a lot of pearl powder, but those pearls that were in very bad condition, Dong Emiaoyi hadn't thought of the use.
Dong Emiaoyi said that she couldn't wait to follow Man Niang to the island in person, but Yinyu was not at ease, and she also took care of the children, so she just said that she only found two big stewards to follow Man Niang, and gave some silver, which was considered a deposit.
These two big shopkeepers, one of them is Zhang Blind, Zhang Blind was in Guangzhou the day before yesterday, Yinyu recruited him, I don't know what happened, but now it is used, this blind man bought some land there, and built a yard for use.
Because of this pearl matter, Dong E Miaoyi postponed her return to Beijing, and she thought about it more, so small that she always had to watch it be built.
Dong Emiaoyi bought two more small boats from Madame Anne, which were ordinary merchant ships. After Yinyu came back, Mrs. Anne also let it go, but Mrs. Anne was even more afraid of Yinyu and them now, and she still wanted to come to a grade before, but Mrs. Anne had long forgotten about it.........
