After dinner in the evening, Pearl really came over with a bag of clothes, and did not show it to the old lady, but took the old lady out for a walk. After telling jokes for a long time, when Pearl went back, Chen asked people to bring the package. There are six sets of tunics and four jackets. The color is just taking advantage of the old lady's complexion, and the embroidered ornaments on it are very exquisite, as well as wiping foreheads, handkerchiefs, socks, etc., and Chen's eyes are sour.

The next day, Pearl came to say goodbye to the old lady, and today she wore a moon-white dress, a yellow belt tied around her waist, and a simple silver hairpin on her head, and a jasper bead flower with a large pearl of rice grains as a stamen. He wears a pair of jade green leaf pendants on his ears and a pair of green jade bracelets on his wrists. The old lady muttered in her heart, how beautiful the pearls are! The jade man who is water and spirited! Looking at the appearance of that figure, it can be said that 'if you increase one point, it will be too long, if you subtract one point, it will be too short, if you are powdered, it will be too white, and Shi Zhu will be too red. The eyebrows are like green feathers, the muscles are like snow, the waist is like bundles, and the teeth are like braided shells. Yanran smiled and looked forward to Shenfei. The ladies in the palace are afraid that they don't have this posture.

"Pearl!" The old lady shed tears,

Pearl hurried over, "Old lady, if you knew that you shed tears, the slave should not have come to provoke you. ”

"You kid. When you go home, if you have any problems, bring me a letter. You know, the pearl girl in our house can't be bullied. ”

Pearl also shed tears when she said it, "I know, I'll come to see you when I'm free." ”

"Good, good!"

At this time, Yuzhu came with a large package and handed it to Pearl, "This is for the old lady and her sister, and my sisters and I also got some things together and put them in the car." ”

The pearl kowtowed again, and not long after, several wives and young ladies also sent gifts, and the girls who had made good friends sent the pearl to the corner gate, looked at the two carriages, and left for a long time.

Pearl has been in the house for more than ten years, and she always has feelings, and now she is leaving, and her heart is not good, but she is still at home, and she still wants to go home.

The ransom cost twenty taels of silver, and the old lady gave it away, and sent a mother-in-law and two servants to drive two cars, on which were put the things that the pearls used with them, as well as valuable boxes and small boxes. Another car had seven or eight large and small packages and two large camphor boxes. Pearl opened the package given by the old lady first. And there were twenty ingots of silver in it, all of them ten taels of official silver. It was two hundred taels in total, and in another box was a set of gold-encrusted ruby heads. It's a good thing, and the workmanship is exquisite. There is also a pair of white jade bracelets. One piece of red brocade sprinkled with gold, three pieces of other colors.

The eldest lady Yang gave fifty taels of silver, a golden phoenix hairpin, and a jade pendant. The other three ladies all gave twenty taels, two pieces of silk fabric, a golden hairpin, and a pair of silver bracelets, in addition, the young ladies and girls also sent a lot of things, and the remaining few large packages, there were four pieces of clothes that the old lady had not worn, the colors were all dark, but the materials were valuable, and there were two sets of leather jackets. There are also some silk and satin fabrics that are made up by the ladies, which are not usually worn. This is also to see the old lady's face, and send the unworn. There was also a pack of handkerchiefs and purses. I have also accumulated a lot over the years. Over the years, because I don't know what the people in my family are like, I have brought them back. She now has 1,000 taels of silver tickets in her hand, and 264 taels, 27 gold naked, and 52 silver naked.

Pearl thought that she was about to leave the capital, and the little silver in her hand was afraid that it would not be enough to live for a few years, so she had to sell her things as soon as possible. Now, eight taels of silver can buy an acre of good land, she can't buy all the fields, she has to buy a shop, and she has to leave the money to protect the capital, so she has to sell something in the space.

Over the years, the reason for helping the old lady look at the shop, Pearl has also met a lot of people, and the old lady also has a foreign goods shop, and Pearl wants to sell the things in her hand, so it will not arouse suspicion. This time, Pearl let the car stop to the side and took a box to Zhenbao Zhai, the largest silver building in the capital.

Mr. Gao, the shopkeeper, and Pearl are very familiar with each other, and Pearl said that there was something good to sell, so he led people to the inner room.

"Pearl Girl, what's the good thing? Show it to me. "In the past, pearls also sold things, but they were all when they were working capital, and they sold the old lady's private house.

Pearl opened the box, and in fact, the contents of the box had been changed. A box less than a foot long, with two small boxes in it, and something on the lower level. Pearl took out one of them and handed it to Mr. Gao.

Mr. Gao is a tall and thin middle-aged man with a smile on his face, but it is not so easy to negotiate business with him. Mr. Gao opened the box and immediately sighed, "This is a foreigner's clock?" After speaking, I looked at the box again, and sure enough, it was a foreigner's text, but when I looked at it again, I felt that something was wrong, and I took it out and looked at it, and I felt exquisite, but I didn't know how to use it.

Pearl smiled and said, "This is a glow-in-the-dark mechanical watch, you can wear it on your wrist and watch the hour at any time." ”

"Luminous watch?" Mr. Gao didn't understand,

Pearl continued, "Even at night you can see the hour, don't believe it, you are blindfolded." ”

Mr. Gao really covered the surface, and sighed again, feeling that something was wrong, so he simply went under the table to look, Pearl rolled his eyes, and listened to the bang, and then laughed, "Sure enough, it's glow-in-the-dark, and you can see it at night." How much? ”

Pearl didn't talk nonsense, stretched out a finger, and Mr. Gao was surprised, "100,000 taels?" ”

After thinking about it, before Pearl could speak, he immediately clapped, "Okay, 100,000." "The magnates of the capital pay tribute to the palace every year, and that is not more than three or five thousand taels, and there can't be only one, this transaction is worth it. If you are not afraid of expensive, you are afraid of nothing.

"There's one more! Check it out! ”

Mr. Gao didn't use the pearl to move, he directly took another small box, broke the box, let out another exclamation, and asked the pearl in surprise, "This is a black pearl?" ”

"That's right. In the middle of the world, the girder is over, and you can't find the second one. Look at it! ”

"20,000 taels of silver."

"No, look at how shiny the small gems around are, 20,000 is definitely not good, and rare things are expensive. Mr. Gao. "The pearl was originally given to my mother in my previous life, and it cost nearly a thousand yuan!

Mr. Gao gritted his teeth, "Thirty thousand, it can't be higher." ”

"Fifty thousand taels, I'll sell you the rest of the things in this box as well." Pearl said,

"Something else?" Mr. Gao was surprised, he didn't expect that there were other things in the big box. The pearl lifts the red flannel from the top, revealing the smooth and sparkling jeweled hairpins, walkers and combs. Mr. Gao put down the ring, looked at the contents inside, and picked up a peacock hairpin inlaid with seven-colored gemstones, this hairpin is very heavy, it should be gold or gold-plated, and the most valuable thing is the gemstone on it, which is very ingeniously inlaid, and it is really ingenious. There is also a golden step, the tassel on it is very fine, some are jade pieces, some are crystal, and the cut is very good. There are five of them.

Seeing that Mr. Gao was fancy, Pearl said, "This is all redesigned and customized by me from foreigners." I'm leaving, and you can't find it if you want to, and if you do, you won't have it like this. I don't want you much, this ring plus these five hairpins, you give 230,000 taels, and I will sell it. ”

Mr. Gao looked at the pearl and then at the thing, "210,000 taels." ”

"220,000 taels."

"That's it, that's all." Pearls are expensive, and such beautiful gemstones are even more expensive.

When the silver ticket arrived, Pearl directly put the silver ticket into the sleeve, which was actually put into the space.

After that, Pearl went to the money bank again, exchanged 210,000 taels of silver for 20,000 taels of gold, and gave 50 taels of silver. This time, the old lady gave 200 taels of silver, and the eldest lady gave a total of 110 taels, and over the years, she also had 1,360 taels of silver and two taels of scattered silver, adding up to 1,524 taels of silver, and so many gold and silver naked, which was enough. Therefore, the pearl was saved 1,000 taels, and this money can be exchanged throughout the country, and the remaining silver taels are enough to live. The remaining 524 taels are for petty use.

Over the years, the old lady has given a lot of jewelry, which is very exquisite, and there is a delicate hairpin in the space, a hair comb and beads, which are enough. The old lady gave her a set of gold-encrusted ruby heads, and a set of white jade in the past, which was when Pearl earned her 200,000 taels of silver. There are also two sets of red gold heads, which were rewarded by the eldest lady, and the third lady gave a gold collar. The second lady gave a set of silver jade collars, and the fourth lady gave a pair of green jade bracelets. There are also some fragmentary rings, jade pendants, jade pendants or something, there are more pearls here, for the old lady to speak, there is no time to leave empty-handed, and she goes to pass the word, often all of them are big things, and they want to hear something, so the purse for pearls can not be light. The ladies gave rings, silver nudes, gold nudes or pearls, while the ladies and young masters gave jade pendants, jade pendants, hairpins, and bracelets.

In addition, I have taken care of the shop for the old lady over the years, and I have also gained a lot of additional benefits, such as 25 boxes of good bird's nest sent by the shopkeeper, five roots over 50 years, two boxes of Ganoderma lucidum, and four boxes of cordyceps. There are also some ejiao and deer antler velvet or something. Twenty fine silk brocades. 4 pieces of plain satin. Pearls are not good to collect too many things from people in the shop, I am afraid that it is not easy to talk, but they are very knowledgeable and respectful, small and small, pearls will not be collected, but not collected is not good, so these are saved. And Pearl also took his own capital, and looked at the old lady's business, and also made some money. That's just a thousand taels.

Two cars, one with people, and some valuables were placed in them, such as silver, jewelry, boxes, and fabrics. In another car, before leaving the capital, Pearl specially bought two bags of japonica rice, rouge rice and snow-white flour, and two bags of ordinary high-quality white rice, all of which were put in the back car. There were also eight pieces of muslin, two pieces of transparent yarn, and two large bags of various colors of needles and threads, with more than 130 colors. The car also had its own large embroidery frame, guqin, chessboard and two chests.

The car that he and the servant woman who accompanied him put all the valuables. Pearl spent a total of twenty-four taels of silver, and now she has 504 taels of silver and 200 taels of money left.

From the capital to Zhuozhou, it will take half a month along the way, and they will arrive in twelve days. On the way, Pearl also bought some jujubes and walnuts and other things, planning to go home to make snacks.
