Chapter 139: Forced Piracy
The third Huaizhi is really a cute child, not a person who thinks so about the pearl mother, even Mingqian thinks so, this child grows up white and fat, and he loves to laugh, which is very gratifying. Pearl still feeds the milk herself, and only takes care of the nurse at night, and this child is also trouble-free, and she doesn't get up much at night.
When Pearl finished her two-month confinement, her figure had almost recovered, although she was lazy enough, but if she couldn't recover her figure at this time, the big belly might have to follow her for a lifetime. The olive oil found in the space also played a role, making the belly of the pearl as smooth and firm as the cheeks.
Pearl is now a lot of smacking on his body, usually making a mask, washing his face with facial cleanser, and then washing with milk, the same is true for the skin on his body, after taking a bath, he soaks in milk, and then smears moisturizer on his body. Hair is also a key protection object, often eat black sesame seeds, and wash hair with natural shampoo made of He Shou Wu, Pearl now has smooth and black hair.
Today's third full moon, do two months of confinement, in the capital is also very common, pearl out of the confinement, immediately have to organize a full moon banquet, originally only invited twenty tables of guests, but who knows that thirty tables, fortunately the pearl is fully prepared, temporary change of dishes, finally deal with the past. Pearl even thought that Ming Zhuangyuan's biggest reputation in the court in the future might be 'Wine Fairy', Ming Qian didn't think it was angry when he heard it, but was very satisfied with the name of 'Wine Fairy', these literary and artistic young people really couldn't help it.
When Wang Chen, who was in Ning Yuanbo's mansion, saw the pearl with the same demeanor, he still admired it. For these ladies, the biggest problem is not what to use, but not to persevere, to know that the biggest obstacle to beauty and fitness is not to insist, so it is not effective. Pearl also said that now everyone is the same age, the gap is not big, wait for ten years to see. That's pretty obvious. This was indeed recognized by everyone, and Pearl also took the opportunity to enhance her relationship with several visiting ladies.
This time, the person who came to participate in the full moon banquet was the daughter-in-law of Lord Qin's family, Wen, who was the eldest daughter-in-law, and the eldest son was ten years old this year. The second son is five years old. Today, she focused on the education of children. I also specially asked to see Huairen and Huaiyi's study. After reading Huairen's words, I inquired about Huaiyi's progress again, and I was very surprised. Looking at pearls doesn't mean to show off, but I still feel uncomfortable.
However, he was still very surprised to see those fonts, and asked Pearl, who thought about it and had to say that it was a font created by her husband. After saying that, I felt that it was a little inappropriate, but when I thought about it, if I could always get something that outsiders couldn't find, it would be a thing to suspect in itself. It seems that I have to communicate with my husband well in the evening.
Today, the third child is full moon, and Wang Liu is here with Sister Zhao. She is still the guest of honor of Pearl, Wang Liu, who still has a sense of distance, saw that Pearl was still so enthusiastic about her, so she relaxed, began to talk and laugh, and by the way, she told everyone how many delicious snacks they usually eat here in Pearl.
Neither Shopkeeper Liu nor Qu Wang came today, but they both gave a lot of congratulatory gifts, and what kind of gold lock plates and the like are too pediatric. Liu Xuan also brought a letter back, saying that he was going back. He had been gone for a few months, but he finally returned, and the letter said that this time the harvest was very fruitful, and let the pearl prepare the treasury.
Pearl thought, these jade are just mountain materials, better is the seed material from the river, there will not be many warehouses, but there is still an open space on the Zhuangzi, Pearl is worried that there will be something to put in the future, because Mingqian looked at the account book, so I am afraid that the things that will be put in the space in the future will be reduced, so the warehouse will become a must be built, but now that the weather is getting colder, I have to let people vacate some more warehouses.
If it really doesn't work, you can only look at Zhuozhou, where there is a jade processing workshop, anyway, these jade materials will be transported over sooner or later.
Although Zhao Qingyu didn't come, because he had just sent the jadeite rough and knew the expected date of the pearl, he left a gift. He only sent one shipload of jade, Tongkat Ali had two ships, and now he has direct contact with the pharmaceutical factory, where the price is very high, and there are more things, and he also reciprocates, this time the rough stones he got for the pearl are all very good, and some of them are purchased from others.
Today's ladies who came to the Ming family for the first time are eye-opening, there are children in the family who are studying, and there are few smart children like the Ming family, the two boys are not frightened when they see the living, and their mouths are very sweet, even Huaiyi's kid is like a crazy person, others praise him for being smart and polite, and he didn't lose his temper for a day, and he also knew that the children who came were there.
Those ladies heard that the Ming family not only gave the children early enlightenment, and even had a playground for children to play, one by one came to be interested, at this time the weather was already very cold, but the slides, swings and wooden horses outside can still be played, the girls have Ming Zhen'er with them, and went to the playroom early, there are many toys, just like Pearl said, children can play to be smart, everyone also began to move, want to build one in their own home. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get the child back today.
After the banquet in the evening, Pearl returned to the house, and when he saw Ming Qian, he said about today's calligraphy, Ming Qian listened to Pearl's reason, and felt that it was only like this now.
It's winter, pearl began to prepare cotton clothes for the family, the worst point of the current fabric is that it is easy to fade, if you wash the clothes with soap, the fading will be even worse, the pearl now even thinks that he simply studies the dye, but catches up with the current popular rubber tires in the capital, this tire sells expensive, but practical, those nobles in the capital are not afraid of expensive, a pair of tires inside and out, sold to two hundred taels of silver. I heard that it was sold for five hundred taels there, and it was really rich in Jiangnan!
Now that Ming Qian went home to the study and took his two sons to write together, I have to say that Ming Qian's leading role really worked, and the two sons were very concerned about learning. When the sons were sleepy, Mingqian asked the nurse to come over and say that they would take them down to sleep, and practiced by himself, and asked Pearl to quickly find out if there were any other calligraphy, and it was interesting to practice. Especially the pavilion style, the writing is really good.
Pearl knew that her husband was concentrating on learning, of course she was happy, and quickly tossed out many of Dong Qichang's paintings and characters from the space, as well as several books written by Dong Qichang, all of which were made out for her husband to learn from, not to mention, for these calligraphy and painting works, Ming Qian was like a treasure, and he didn't even sleep at night, or Pearl watched it every day, so as to prevent him from starving to death and exhaustion.
Pearl felt that she was underestimating her husband, if it was a pearl, it was estimated that she would have plagiarized others, but Mingqian was not like this, he began to write a lot of feelings, and Dong Qichang's research on calligraphy and painting was discussed more deeply.
Before the Chinese New Year, the gift from the hometown was delivered, and the Ming family brought a thousand taels of silver to the pearl, and the pearl felt that the money was hot, and when he turned back to prepare a gift for the Ming family, he increased the investment, and gave the Ming Youshou couple and the old man Ming and the Feng family, in addition to sending their own clothes, and married into a lot of valuables, which must be given to the Feng family and the Wang family's red gold jewelry, as well as the gifts to the Ming family, are very weighty.
You don't have to worry so much about the things sent by your mother's family, and the most heartfelt gift for pearls is the ten pots of flowers sent by the eldest brother Liu Hai, which are directly placed in the small hall and let the subordinates take care of them.
Of course, Ming Youcai and his wife have not forgotten their little daughter, and they have sent a lot of hometown products to this kind, and their family's life is not as rich as Ming Youshou's family, plus there is Ming Xin studying, so life is still very tight. During the Chinese New Year this year, Pearl gave Ming Zhen'er a red envelope in advance, which in Pearl's words is salary plus bonus.
So this year, Ming Zhen'er sent a hundred taels of silver to her family. Although the Feng family and the old man of the Feng family also feel sorry for their son, after all, they have already separated from each other, and it is not good to give more. Ming Zhen'er also made clothes for her parents and brother and sister-in-law, and gave her little nephew a small padded jacket made by herself. The materials were all provided by Pearl, but Pearl felt that it was worth it, and his little apprentice helped him a lot.
The Chinese New Year is a very busy day, in the past six months, Shopkeeper Liu and Qu Wang have given Pearl a lot of good things, deducting this money, Pearl's income is also very objective. Although the pharmaceutical business is gone, rubber tires are rising again. There is a lot of rubber shipped from the south, and only pearls have this technology, and the valve core is a technical job, and no one can imitate it.
Because Pearl has to take care of three children, so when he took account this year, Mingqian came, but he didn't expect this guy to have a good idea, which made Pearl sigh that it was easy for smart people to do anything. Now Pearl has started to teach children to do arithmetic problems, Huairen is smart, and Pearl has begun to teach multiplication and division. Huaiyi is still moving his fingers, and now his fingers are no longer enough, and he has to take off his shoes when he does arithmetic.
Zhu'er is about the same age as Huaiyi, the two children study together, Zhu'er is an obedient little girl, usually follows Ming Zhen'er and Yu'er, the little girl is now white and fat, very likable, very well-behaved, now Mingqian pins his hopes for his daughter on his niece, and he is always very kind when he sees his niece, which makes his own sons very puzzled. In winter, the vegetables and strawberries on the Zhuangzi come up, and there are apples, pears, oranges, etc. left over from the autumn at home, and the life is also very comfortable. It's just that their junior has just been a few months old! After the New Year, you will be two years old! (To be continued......)
