Chapter 141: Lord Jiahui
The day before the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Liu Xuan finally returned, this time, Pearl was really happy, although she liked jade very much, but Hetian Yu also liked it! Especially mutton fat jade, which is worth a thousand gold, people at this time like Hetian jade, especially mutton fat jade. Liu Xuan took the caravan he organized this time, and brought back ten truckloads of mountain materials and seed materials with Pearl. These stones come in all sizes, but if they were all carved, the pearls would definitely be a windfall. Of course, she doesn't need a windfall now, but she needs to save more treasures, and it would be best to keep these things for her son or daughter in the future.
Ming Qian was also very happy to know about this matter, he was okay with jadeite, but he liked mutton fat jade very much, and Pearl told him that he would make a few superb jade pendants and fan pendants for him. Hetian jade has white jade, topaz, green jade, black jade, etc., mutton fat jade accounts for half of the jade brought back by Liu Xuan, this white jade and mutton fat jade is still different, if you don't look carefully, it's really easy to make mistakes!
It's just that there are still fewer warehouses, and pearls can't, so valuable, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to get the treasures, so naturally they can't be put in the open air, so they can only be transported to the house by five carts and placed in the warehouse.
Chinese New Year, the Ming family is really lively, Pearl began to work early, the menu of the New Year these days is also set, Pearl also made new clothes for the children, this year is really busy, pearls are cut, let the embroidery room people to make it, the clothes for her husband are the same, he usually wears thick clothes to the Yamen, all down cotton jackets and cotton pants, boots have a matchless, as well as mink coats, otter fur coats. It's all black. Very resentful. The emperor is too picky, and he doesn't pay the ministers for clothing, and what you wear depends on your own family conditions. Ming Qian once asked one of his colleagues for a down padded jacket. His colleague's family conditions are not good, he does not have the professional ability to buy warm and light clothes, and his padded jacket is very bloated, and it is inconvenient to move.
This year, the pearl family is considered to have broken even, giving gifts to colleagues and Shangfeng in the Hanlin Academy, and people also know how to give gifts in return, and the gifts from the Yongchang Marquis Mansion are still very heavy. The gift from the third girl's in-law is also good. Of course. It's more about the latest acquaintances. Someone came to ask for embroidery from the pearls, and the price was opened to 10,000 taels, but unfortunately the pearls were not sold. There is also because Ming Qian gave others a lot of calligraphy and enlightenment books, and people also reciprocated. Of course. There are also drunkards in the army such as General Yue. It's a very good match with their 'wine fairy'.
In the Zhuangzi of pearls, many things also happened, on the Zhuangzi of Zhuozhou. They still mainly grow sticky corn and flowers. In other places, except for the pastures in the north, grain was grown, and according to Pearl's instructions, those who had Zhuangzi were put in warehouses for storage, and those who did not have Zhuangzi were transported to nearby Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi, near the capital, also planted a lot of wheat this year, followed by vegetables and fruits all over the mountains.
The people under Pearl have also formed their own families, and the first to marry is Liu Xuan, who is twenty-seven years old. His wife is the woman who took the lead in escaping last time when Pearl saved, and they are also in free love. Now Liu Xuan's family lives in the mansion with Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan's family is a rare virtuous and strong woman, although she is only seventeen years old, but she learns everything very quickly, Pearl handed over the dispatch of the people in the mansion to her, don't look at her young, get started quickly.
Liu Qing also has a partner now, but I don't know when I will be able to get married. When Liu Xuan got married, Pearl gave them 1,000 taels of silver, although their brothers and sisters were all offspring of convicts, but when their grandson was born, he could let his grandson regain his freedom. When the time comes, they will be able to enter and exit, of course, if their grandson has to have such a ability at that time.
Liu Huang and Liu Lan are also doing well in the south, the two Zhuangzi in their hands are not small, and they have bought a lot of people, and they can manage it. One of them is a freshwater pearl and the other is a saltwater pearl. Last year, I gave some pearls, which were freshwater pearls, and the pearls were distributed to the three girls to play.
This year, saltwater pearls have not yet been made, but freshwater pearls are in abundance. After these pearls were obtained, half of them were sold in the Treasure House in Hangzhou. If the condition is not good, it will be directly made into pearl powder and sent to Zhuangzi in Zhuozhou. The pearls were sent the best pearls, and the pearl powder was also sent a lot. There is a large box, and the pearls are also very colorful, including white, milky, pink, purple, pale gold and dark gold, especially the golden pearls, which are bred with gold-lipped mussels.
The largest pearl is between 11mm~12mm, and the small one is 5mm~6mm, and the pearl sent ten necklaces to Sanniu, one of which is a golden pearl. The pearl powder was also wrapped in a pack and sent to Sanniu, this pearl powder must not be used for beauty, and its medicinal value is also very high. The size of the pearls sent out is not very large. The rest of the pearls were strung together. Pick out fifty and send them to the treasure building in the capital, and you can't put too much into the market, otherwise the pearl will fall in price.
When he gave the Yongchang Marquis Mansion for the New Year, he also gave a few necklaces and two golden pearls to the old lady. I didn't expect the old lady to sacrifice to the Queen Mother. This year, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion is still beautiful, and Pearl, the former slave maid, has become the guest of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion. Now the third and fourth girls are studying next to the old lady, and I heard that the Hou Mansion is still a new atmosphere.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone is busy visiting relatives and friends. Pearl and Mingqian are very busy, on this day, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion held a banquet, and Pearl took his apprentice and Yu'er over. The two little girls wore down cotton jackets and pants, and wore mink coats with fluffed fur, which were very cute. Mingzhen'er's one is red, and Yu'er's one is white. The two little girls were dressed in brocade, with delicate beads in their hair, and red gold inlaid jewels around their necks, Ming Zhen'er's inlaid lapis lazuli and rhinestones, and Yu'er with a jeweled ring inlaid with pink pearls.
The three girls led the pearl to the backyard, where some young ladies and ladies were admiring the flowers. Pearl also went to the conservatory to see it. Sure enough, I saw many acquaintances, because Ming Qian became famous in the literati circle, these people were very happy to talk to Pearl, and Pearl's embroidery skills were superb, and she socialized, everyone didn't think there was anything, after watching for a while, Pearl felt very tired, so he walked to the side of the warm pavilion to rest, just the third girl Hou Ying sat next to her, and began to discuss cooking skills with Pearl,
"This is Liu! It looks a little bit beautiful. "A woman wearing a magenta makeup python gold silk jacquard brocade gown, with a cloisonnΓ© beaded golden phoenix on her head, walked in,
Pearl didn't know who this person was, but when she saw Hou Ying stand up, she also stood up, this woman looked very amorous, painted with crescent eyebrows, and there was a lot of powder on her face. Hou Ying saluted the other party and said,
"Lord Jiahui!"
Pearl also saluted and said, "I am Liu." β
The county lord of Jiahui said to Hou Ying, "I have something to say to the Liu family, you go down first!" β
Hou Ying was a little worried about the pearl, but she didn't have the ability to keep the pearl. Think about it, it's important to move the rescuers quickly.
Here, the county lord of Jiahui said to Liu Zi beside Pearl, "You can go down too!" β
Liu Zi didn't move, the county lord of Jiahui's face sank, and said, "Don't let me go yet!" β
Liu Zi still doesn't care about her. Seeing this, Pearl said to Lord Jiahui, "This is the person next to me, and she has never left me. The county lord has something to say. β
Seeing that there was no fear on Pearl's face, the Lord of Jiahui County was furious, so he simply stopped entangled in the affairs of his subordinates, and said to Pearl, "Liu, you are just a slave from the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, don't you have self-knowledge?" Occupy the champion of the dynasty, your ambition is not small. β
"When I married my husband, he was just a cloth dress, and today he has become the champion, which is also something I didn't expect." Pearl also heard of this county lord, the emperor's uncle Prince Cheng's daughter, who is related to Prince Zheng and Princess Zheng, is considered to be Princess Zheng's cousin and niece, and has a good relationship with Princess Zheng's daughter.
"Humph! Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and ask yourself for the better, otherwise you will look good in the future. "Lord Jiahui warned,
Pearl frowned and said, "The county supervisor is in charge of heaven and earth, and is he still in charge of the affairs of the champion family?" β
"Presumptuous!" Lord Jiahui shouted angrily, turned around and ordered the people around him, "Don't give me a slap yet!" β
As he spoke, two tall and strong servants jumped out from behind the county lord of Jiahui, and they came directly to the pearl. Seeing someone do it, Pearl was also angry. How could Liu Zi let his master suffer a loss, one person and one kick, and kicked the two servants aside.
Seeing this scene, the lord of Jiahui County was even more annoyed, "It's the other way around, Liu, you are so bold." β
"I think the county lord is too bold. It's really impressive to be so reckless. Pearl sarcastically said,
Seeing that the other party's girl was so powerful, the lord of Jiahui County was also very worried, and when he was more angry, he rushed directly to the pearl, and Liu Zi wanted to help but was stopped by the pearl. The county lord came, and Pearl dodged with a dodge. Come again, I still hid, and when the old lady came over, the county lord of Jiahui was still panting and chasing! The subordinates around him wanted to help, but they were all pushed aside by Liu Zi.
"What is this for?" Princess Hejing shouted,
Jiahui was also startled when she saw the eldest princess here, but the chase battle consumed too much, and she couldn't speak for a while, so Pearl hurriedly walked to the eldest princess, saluted and said,
"Back to the eldest princess, Lord Jiahui is here to persuade me to leave my husband."
This was obviously ruthless enough, and the ladies who followed behind him to watch the excitement all pulled down their faces. This is the tragedy of the rabbit and the fox! Everyone here has lived with their husbands through thick and thin, and if everyone is developed, they will divorce their wives or divorce them, and form an atmosphere to repay it?
