Chapter 158: Meet Tom

Pearl went with a silver ticket this time, bringing a total of 300,000 taels, because she heard from Qu Wang that the pawnshops and jewelry buildings on the side of Zhuozhou Wharf have rare treasures, and the price is very expensive, of course, for the sake of safety, Pearl also brought a pearl necklace with a diameter of 10mm, and a gold ring with diamonds. The carriages and horses were also prepared, a total of twenty carriages were prepared, and eighty guards and one hundred strong laborers were mobilized from the Zhuangzi in Zhuozhou. I also invited a very knowledgeable treasure connoisseur.

Pearl has Liu Zi and Qingfeng by her side, Mingyue has a good temperament, and she is responsible for taking care of the children together with Ming Zhen'er. The affairs of the family are also handed over to Ming Zhen'er. Don't look at the girl who is only thirteen this year, but she is already very stance.

Pearl's carriage was followed by twelve guards, who had been mobilized from Zhuozhou Zhuangzi. Originally, Mingqian wanted the six guards around him to protect Pearl, but Pearl firmly disagreed. Ming Qian's work in the county was not carried out very smoothly, and Zhou Teng, the county Cheng Zhou Teng, was constrained everywhere, and it was difficult for Ming Qian to do anything. How could Pearl let him give his guards to himself!

Of course, if you want to go out to run errands, you must first exchange the silver for a silver ticket and take it with you, anyway, there are silver taels in the space. Pearl first negotiated with a few children in the family, and after the negotiation was done, she could leave. Pearl planned to take it over there for five days, half a month at most, and all the clothes she had given her husband Mingqian were ready. There are**, which is now the thread clothing, **, as well as the official uniforms that have been washed, the underwear that is usually worn, the robes worn when the weather is cold, the pants with straight embellishments and thick satin, the velvet jacket and sweater, and the shoes and socks are also ready. This time he took a pair of very soft leather shoes from the space. One set a day, all put in the closet. Even the accessories on the body, handkerchiefs, sweat towels and hairpins on the head are all prepared.

The pearl is very distressed by her husband, and the hairpins on her head are made of rosewood, ebony, mutton fat jade, jasper, jade, and agate, and even the crown has seven or eight, which are also delicate and valuable, and they are not very heavy. This is also a little careful thinking on the part of Pearl. I'm afraid I've forgotten myself. Of course. There is also a purse, in which gold and silver nudes are placed, and some purses also have pearls in them, afraid that when he walks in the palace. When you meet a eunuch, you need to catch it. The silver ticket left for him was also a hundred taels. Enough is enough.

I set off in a horse-drawn carriage. After a few days of travel, the pearl finally arrived at the Zhuozhou wharf. Seeing the scenery around this, Pearl was really shocked. It's only been two years! It's changed so much. It's a small town. The river is full of all kinds of cargo ships, and the houses along the river are where the warehouses are located. And the place where they are is is the main street. There are many shops, many restaurants, inns, pawnshops, tea houses, wine shops, and traders from the north and south. Pearl even saw porcelain shops and fabric shops, and upon closer inspection, there were the most tea shops and fabric shops.

Along with the pearls came the goods transported from Zhuozhou Zhuangzi, which were filled with silk cloth, tea and fine porcelain collected by himself, several of which were produced in official kilns. Pearl herself also brought two boxes with some books in them, which looked very heavy, but Pearl was here to hide people's eyes. Pearl also brought some things in the space this time, and also put five boxes, one is cosmetics, the other is hair dye and perm, and one is body shaping** and bra and lace**. In one box are four double-sided embroidered interstitial screens. The last one is a wedding dress inlaid with many rhinestones, which is very beautiful.

The place where Pearl and Tom met was chosen in the upstairs private room of a restaurant, and as soon as they met, Tom saluted her, and the amazement in his eyes could not be concealed. Pearl came to talk about business, and the dress was naturally simple and casual. So dress up.

In Tom's place, the shock is huge, the black eyes are clear and bright, but they are mysterious, picturesque eyebrows, the corners of the eyebrows are full of amorous, the small and delicate nose, the small mouth like a cherry, the delicate and flawless face with a smile, charming and moving, set thousands of styles and one, tempting people's hearts, slender figure, brute waist to win weak, it looks Chu Chu moving, three thousand green silk is a little coiled into a bun, but also lined with the white slender erection. It is really a country and a city, peerless, without the need for pink to be beautiful and beautiful. The whole person is beautiful and picturesque, beautiful as a fairy. Light gold and pink two-color sprinkled flower jacket, draped in a layer of white yarn outside, with a phoenix spreading wings on the head and six sides inlaid with jade inlaid with seven treasures Ming Jin Bu shaking phoenix tail gold step, lotus step shaking slightly, ears with red gold filament tassel earrings, with a tourmaline bracelet on the wrist, and a jade diamond ring on the finger.

Such a beauty, it's easy to delay business. After Tom sat down, he said to Pearl, "I have brought many rare ores according to what you said to me, such as copper, iron ore, and aluminum, which I do not know very well, but they have been brought to you, and five meteorites that have fallen from the sky, I don't know if they will be of any use to you, but I have installed two whole beds anyway." ”

There were still people in the house, but Pearl knew a foreign language and spoke French to Tom. Pearl was still very happy to get this news, knowing that steelmaking, casting swords and some sophisticated instruments are all indispensable. So he said, "That's exactly what I need, I don't know what else you've brought with you." ”

Tom was excited when he heard this, he had dealt with Pearl a lot, of course he knew what Pearl liked, and proudly puffed up his chest and said, "This time I have invested a lot of money and spent a lot of effort to get these things, you look at the list." ”

Pearl took the list, and the more she opened it, the happier she became, there were red, yellow, pink, blue and green diamonds, each of which had a large box weighing more than two hundred pounds. You can see how big the box is. There is also a box of Kashmir sapphires, two boxes of emeralds, a box of opal stone and fire opal, a box of charolite, lapis lazuli, spodumene and aquamarine, three boxes of topaz, beeswax because of its heavy weight, nine boxes, and coral, with crimson, ochre, pink, flesh red, pink, orange, milk yellow, milky white and other colors, and one box of each type. Tom also got alexandrite, toporite, star sapphire, citrine, and so on. With so many precious stones, 300,000 taels of silver, it was definitely worth the money.

Pearl smiled and said to him, "If the quality of the things you bring is good, 300,000 taels of silver, what do you think?" ”

Tom looked down and said, "Not enough. Take this emerald, for example! But the best quality emerald emeralds, those diamonds are also carefully selected by me. No, no, no. ”

Pearl also seemed to think of it, and said, "I still have good tea in my hand, green tea and black tea, the quality is first-class, I guarantee that you can't buy it on the market, I will give it to you cheaper." ”

That's fine, but Tom smiled and said, "I still have good stuff here!" After saying that, he took out five or six strings of black pearls from the bag he was carrying, which were large, very round, and very valuable.

When Pearl saw this, she couldn't do anything real and said, "I have a lot of canned food here, and the so-called canned food is to put food in it, including canned fruit, canned pork, canned beef, and canned fish. There are also various kinds of fruits that can be left for a long time. You've been on the ship all year round, and I'm afraid many of you have died! They are simply lacking nutrients in vegetables and some fruits. I still have canned vegetables here. By the way, I also have a medicine, and this is something that you who go to sea are lacking. I can sell you twenty bottles. We're two clear. ”

"No, no, it's still too little. Although I have a lot of things about these so-called 'cans', I haven't tested them after all! Tom shook his head,

Pearl thought about it, there are very few golden and black pearls in his space, and even if the saltwater pearls are collected this year, there may not be many golden pearls and black pearls. Thinking of this, I was ruthless, and let people carry up the box they brought,

"Look at these!"

Tom stepped forward and opened the box, the faster the happier he was, his face was red, he was already very excited just by looking at the tights, if he brought it back, it would definitely sell for a lot of money, you must know that a woman's money is the best to earn. As for cosmetics, I am not so interested. And then there were the dresses, and Tom couldn't help but let out a burst of admiration. Those double-sided embroideries made him even more excited. Stood up and said to Pearl,

"I agreed, and I'll give it all to you."

Pearl said with a smile, "You underestimated my things, so you said that this cosmetics can allow you to enter the court and be an upper-class person." ”

"Oh?"

Pearl knew that he had been fooled, so he asked his girl Liu Zi to sit down, and Pearl gave him a big change in front of him, and let a very ordinary-looking maid sit there, and in front of Tom, she gave this maid a makeup and waited for the painting, and Tom was dumbfounded. Excited, no. Such lipsticks, mascaras, eyeliners, and BB creams were enough to break him into high society. He believed that no noblewoman could refuse such a temptation.

And that's not all, Pearl asked Tom's servants to do it again, his hair was brown, and Pearl asked him what color he liked, and he said he liked golden yellow. Pearl put on gloves, opened a box of hair dye, applied it to his hair, and waited for the results.

While waiting, Pearl also gave Tom a taste of the can, which Tom really liked. This time Tom not only brought ore and precious stones, but Pearl knew that he had also brought a large amount of silver and gold. How could a pearl not be tempted? Thinking of this, Pearl told everyone to go out, and then said to Tom,

"I've heard that your Black Death is terrible, right?"

At the mention of this topic, Tom was depressed, and it seemed that it was indeed very serious! (To be continued......)
