When it finally stopped, when Pearl was having dinner that day, he asked Mingqian,

"I haven't asked you yet, what did my father and mother say about the eldest brother's concubine?"

Ming Qian didn't expect that the lady hadn't forgotten about it! smiled and said, "Aren't you just worried that our family has set this precedent?" Rest assured! ”

Pearl was a little annoyed and said, "Is that all?" Now that the issue of the concubine has been put on hold for the time being, what should I do about robbing my son? ”

Ming Qian glared at Pearl and said, "Look at you stupid, you don't want to think about it, what day is our family, what day is my eldest brother's family?" If you have a good life, but send it to your eldest brother's house as a stepson, who can agree? ”

Pearl thought about it, yes, when the time comes, I really said that I didn't want to let Xiucai Dad go, and find you a mud-legged uncle to be my father! This matter is probably more inoperable than taking a concubine. Thinking of this, Pearl was a little relieved, but she still thought in her heart that it was best for the Shen family to give birth to a son quickly, and she really didn't know the position of their family's golden grandson.

Mingqian teased his son now if he had nothing to do, although he restrained himself from having less contact with the child in front of outsiders, but

The nature of father and son cannot be extinguished, and when his son looks for him, Mingqian is even more willing to play with his son.

Mingqian stayed at home for two months, and he had to prepare things to go to the provincial capital, and he had to go there in advance, prepare a place to live, and find a place to eat, otherwise it would be a trouble to rest badly during the exam.

When her husband went to take the township test, Pearl asked him to bring Qiao Pian, and Pearl gave 500 taels of silver. I also prepared oil tea noodles for food, and I was afraid that the instant noodles would be spoiled. This time the pearl didn't follow.

I am worried about the money, and I have come to ask for money, last time the pearl asked the shopkeeper Liu to find the original stone of jade, and this time the shopkeeper Liu got 80 pieces of rough stones. With the pearl to ask for 400 taels, the pearl deliberately went to see, the stone is big and small, resolutely do not give the price of the last time, now the powerful people do not think that this jade is a good thing, even if the finished product is made, it will not be very expensive, besides, it is not done yet! The new goods are coming again, and the pearls are also taking a big risk, so after negotiations between the two sides, 240 taels were given, and then sent to Zhuangzi to find a craftsman to continue processing.

Shopkeeper Liu seems to see the meaning of the pearl, knowing that this jade stone has no profit, and he gave up the plan to make money from it, the customer of the pearl, the shopkeeper Liu does not want to give up, several times the business down, the shopkeeper Liu found that the pearl is a good thing, but she rarely shoots, unless it is when using silver, so, catch the pearl, this is a must. In the last two large pictures, the statue of Our Lady was sold to a foreigner, who gave him two table clocks and a lot of gold and precious stones. When the lotus picture arrived in the capital, it was even more sensational, selling 6,000 taels of silver, and even the small ones were sold for 3,000 taels of silver, which made the shopkeeper Liu see the value of pearl embroidery, and this time he also told the pearl that there were good ones and sold them to him.

A few days later, he asked Pearl to see the jade rough, he said that this is a good stone that the southern barbarians have been accumulating, and he intends to make a fortune, who knows that the people on the side of the beam just don't recognize it, so this is the shot. Since Shopkeeper Liu asked for this goods, he sent it to him all the way. Shopkeeper Liu is really worried that the pearl will not be wanted. A vigorous and pearl assurance, these jadeite rough have been opened, and they are indeed good things. This time there were two hundred and thirty yuan, and the shopkeeper Liu said that he would not take any profit from it, and would just give 1,500 taels of silver. Who allowed the owner of this stone to do business with him for more than ten years?

Pearl is a little difficult, although she likes jadeite, but if there is no economic value, then she can only play with herself. But spending more than 10,000 taels is really difficult. After thinking about it, he said, "There are so many stones, and there is no hope, I can't get it, and the silver will be lost." So be it! 1000 taels. ”

Shopkeeper Liu was about to cry, and discussed a few words with the people around him, and finally made up his mind, saying, "Then 1300 taels!" ”

In this way, Pearl bought a large number of stones, and this time the cost was also paid from the soap factory in Zhuangzi. The day before Mingqian's departure, a craftsman who had been living in Zhuangzi came to look for the pearl and said that the eleven stones had been carved. The action was really fast, but when Pearl went to Zhuangzi and saw the more than forty craftsmen, he suddenly felt that it was not a big deal to make things so quickly. There are more than 40 masters, and there are also little apprentices below. Pearl even provided a stack of drawings.

Eleven stones are not ordinary. In modern times, pearls can sleep on gold.

The first three pieces are all jadeite of the dragon stone species, and the most valuable is the imperial green Buddha statue, as well as the light green flower arrangement, and the light blue flower flower arrangement. The rest of the materials are made into bracelets and bead chains, as well as bracelets and ring faces, and some small materials are stored for jewelry.

The rest of the materials are also very good, pearls provide a lot of drawings, but the choice is still in the hands of the craftsman, after all, it depends on the material, in order to decide what to do, but the drawings given by pearls can be regarded as opening their minds and broadening their horizons. In addition to those big ones made into ornaments, the remaining materials, the larger ones are made into bracelets, and this pearl is also prepared, so that they can make the bracelets into flat strips, so as to save materials and effort. The small ones can be made into beads, bracelets and rings, and can even be set into other jewelry. It's all set aside, and the smallest leftover is the size of a grain of rice. Seeing these jadeite jewelry, Pearl felt that it was completely worth it, something that a woman dreamed of, she got it. Then, pay the remaining hundred taels of silver. The craftsmen were very happy. Then put all these jadeites on the big bed of the space.

This time, Pearl got the coveted jadeite jewelry, especially the jadeite bracelets, a few pairs are round, and the rest are made into flat bracelets according to the meaning of pearls. The blue, colorless, and green bracelets of the Dragonstone species are beautiful. Unfortunately, there were only two pairs of each. There were more others, and the pearls left all the jadeites of the dragonstone species and put them all in the space. Only some materials were left to make jewelry and put it outside.

Pearl didn't wait for them to finish happy, and said that he had two hundred and thirty rough stones to process, and he would still bring the drawings, but he hoped that they could use their imagination, even if two old men were carved on the jadeite to fight, it was more interesting than Guanyin and the Buddha statue. The first collaboration was very satisfying. This time it was ten times as much as the last time, and Pearl gave a deposit of 100 taels. It depends on when they deliver the goods, and they will give another 300 taels at that time. The foreman was very happy, this time the business was enough for them to turn into a rich man.
