Chapter 193: Wholesale consecration
The current pearl has 28.7 million taels of gold and 31.6 million taels of silver in the space, and outside, there are 10 million taels of silver in the secret room on the Zhuangzi in Zhuozhou, and 1.4 million taels in the cellar, and the four brothers of Liu Xuan, who went out to do business, now have no less than one million taels of funds in their hands. Now the pearl soap factory, cosmetics factory, jade factory, glass mirror factory, jewelry factory, rubber factory can bring more than 6 million income to the pearl every year, but the pearl costs more than half of the year, and she is crazy to collect rare treasures.
The jade jade sent back by Liu Xuan last time was good, and it is estimated that it is enough for those craftsmen to do it for two years. Pearl discussed with Qiao Dun, they really need good craftsmen, therefore, Pearl sent letters to Liu Qing in the south and Liu Xuan in the northwest, two contents, bring more medicinal materials back, second, if there are good jade craftsmen, you must get them back, don't be afraid to spend money. Pearl also sent a letter to Shopkeeper Liu and Qu Wang, which also meant the same thing. She just wants to collect all kinds of rare treasures, who knows when she will be able to use them, and who knows if she will sell these things for her life in the future! Besides, Pearl has done business so many times, and there has never been a time when she loses money, and because her goods are never sold, the confidentiality is too reliable, so they are willing to sell to Pearl if they have anything to do.
Back at home, Pearl began to teach the children to read, urging the girls to embroider and practice calligraphy, and teach them interpersonal relationships. Now every day after dinner, Pearl adds a half-hour lesson in psychology to several children, and several children have good habits and take notes. If you don't understand something, you will ask, even the little person Zhu'er will take notes, and Pearl thinks that the best thing to learn in the future may be Zhu'er! Several children are growing up very quickly.
In the evening, Mingqian played chess with the pearls, or played the piano and painted, and the relationship between the husband and wife was harmonious. He is also a person who has studied psychology very thoroughly. Can you not make your husband happy? Even at night in bed, that's all learning, Pearl used to disdain this, but now she has worked hard. Mingqian can be regarded as comfortable. Ate the Nourishing Essence Pill. Coupled with the age when he is upright and angry, he can't sleep if he doesn't toss two or three times every night.
After tossing and tossing, Ming Qian leaned sideways and hugged his daughter-in-law. said, "After this year, I may be promoted to the prefect of Zhangzhou." ”
Pearl was stunned, rose at such a young age? Then he asked, "What about the original prefect?" ”
"He is not in good health and has resigned."
Pearl listened to the tone of Ming Qian's words, and intuitively felt that this time it was definitely not so simple to retreat from the illness, I am afraid that it was to make way for Ming Qian, or to be squeezed down by Ming Qian. It's just that I don't know if others will think that Ming Qian is not very kind. Thinking of this, he asked, "What about the Shanyang County Order?" ”
Xiaoshi has been in contact with Pearl a few times, and I really don't know what to do if it is because of Mingqian's relationship that the two have a bad relationship, Mingqian said,
"Shanyang County ordered Shen Lian to be promoted to the prefect of Zhuozhou."
As soon as Pearl heard it, she understood, beating one and pressing the other, Mingqian is a good means!
Both husband and wife have things that they haven't told each other, but it's nothing, and it's rare for two people to feel that it doesn't matter, asking, it's caring. I don't ask, it's understanding. It's a good feeling.
The next day, after breakfast, the children went to class, Pearl saw the sun just right, and embroidered in the house, her picture is bigger and bigger, and the faster she embroiders. This time, I plan to embroider a "Qingming Riverside Picture", because I just got this painting, wouldn't it be better to embroider it? After embroidering for an hour, Pearl felt tired, so she told the girl to lie down, and then went into the space, and first played with the ten big dogs and the four eagles for a while, and fed them some meat. That's when I got to my lab.
Pearl recently found some international brand jewelry on the Internet, I like it very much, all now I have time to cut diamonds in the space, small diamonds are still very difficult, but for their own ideals, fight. Not only diamonds, but also alexandrites, pigeon's blood-red rubies and opales, she has more than a dozen large chests, but the small ones are very few, and there are Kashmir sapphires, and Pearl has repeatedly asked Shopkeeper Liu and Zhao Qingyu to get her this kind of sapphire, because he knows that this gem will be mined in the future. Pearls are not easy to fool, and if the gems or diamonds you get are not good enough, they will be returned. Zhao Qingyu and Shopkeeper Liu have all been returned. Therefore, the pearl warehouse is almost out of place, but it is still collecting, and more than half of the annual income is collecting these gems, diamonds, ores and rubber, etc. If you encounter good antiques and famous calligraphy and paintings, you will not let go.
After finishing the cutting of more than fifty broken diamonds, I lay down and rested for a while, and then I went out and took out an ancient architecture book that I had not read and looked at.
"Madam, someone has come to sue again." The warbler is a bag to inquire,
Pearl put down the book in her hand and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Yingying's eyes were very bright, obviously this case was very gossipy, Yingying walked up to Pearl and said, "There is a man named Li Dalang who married a daughter-in-law, but her daughter-in-law gave birth to a son five months after marriage, and the neighbors laughed at her, saying that her daughter-in-law was not serious, and she was also suspicious in her heart, and felt that his daughter-in-law did not abide by women's morals, so she wrote a complaint and accused his father-in-law of deceiving him and marrying his pregnant daughter-in-law to him. ”
"Oh, I see! It's weird, let's just wait! Adults will handle this case well. ”
Yingying nodded and said, "I think this daughter-in-law must be bad, how can someone give birth to a child in five months?" Hum! ”
Pearl was going to see the child, but when she heard this, she said, "It is not for nothing that someone gives birth in five months, and he is still a blessed child!" These are allusions, and if you don't read, you naturally don't know. ”
When Yingying heard this, she immediately put away her contempt. When Mingqian came back, Pearl asked about it, and Mingqian said,
"Although this matter is small, it is related to the lifelong happiness of the two families, so I don't dare to slack off, I have sent someone to the woman's maiden home to inquire about the situation of this woman when she was in her mother's house, if there are really any bad rumors, then this child may not be Li Dalang's child, if there is no problem, then it can only be said that it is God's arrangement."
Pearl excused, "Then this son must be extraordinary!" I also thought in my heart that the adults of the two families would certainly have a disagreement between the husband and wife because of this incident, but the more important thing is that this child will definitely have a sad life at home in the future. In the future, when he is older, there will be no less gossip in the village, and by that time, this child will either grow crooked, or learn badly. ”
"It's still Madame who thinks far-reaching."
"It's going to be a sycophant, and it's not okay to say anything today." Today is the day set for Pearl to rest, and she is not beaten with iron, and the good meat has to be worn out.
Mingqian touched his nose and was very disappointed.
The next day, Pearl wrote an invitation to the old monk of Jingkong, saying that he wanted to study Buddhism, and Jingkong came happily. Pearl is a good student of Buddhism, and has studied all the sects and sects of Buddhist scriptures, and has unique insights, so he is happy to come to the book with Pearl.
The pearl is not so sincere, this time the Zhuangzi in Zhuozhou sent 128 Buddha statues and Guanyin of various materials, there are golden Buddhas, gold inlaid jewelry Buddha statues, white jade, green jade, jade and other Buddha statues, gold silk sandalwood and red sandalwood, ebony There are also, Buddha bead bracelets are also like this, a total of 8100 strings, hehe, the old monk does not know if he will be angry. After getting these things, Pearl soaked these Buddha statues and Buddha beads in the water of Bagongde for 7749 days! And every day sit by the Qibao Pond to chant the scriptures, very religious, to be honest, this Buddha statue and Buddha beads, pearls are not intended to be sold for money. There are also 30 pieces of mutton fat jade pendant soaked in the pool, and there is a small hole in the middle of the pendant, which is the Buddha's relic. Just kidding, Pearl was originally a vulgar person, how could he not leave a back! There were nearly 100 relics in the original, and it was nothing to take some by herself, not to mention that she had eaten eight! In addition to the mutton fat jade pendant where the relics are placed, the pearls are put into some bracelets of various materials, jade pendants and jade pendants, fan pendants and bead chains of various materials, and then they are thrown in.
After the relics are put in the pendant, they are blocked with white gold, and then wrapped with white gold around the periphery, which is tied like a spider web, and the chain is stainless steel, so don't want to take it off in this life. After this mutton fat jade pendant pearl was made, it ran in the Bagongde water of Qibao Pond for a full eighty-one days, and then hung it up for the three sons and husbands, hung it up, and the lock was fastened, and I didn't think I could open it in this life. Pearl told them very carefully, this thing can not be taken off until death, this is she knelt in front of the Buddha for eighty-one days to beg, whoever picks it, who is disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust. The three children were a little heavy-hearted.
When the old monk saw so many Buddha statues and prayer beads and bracelets, he could only helplessly chant 'My Buddha compassion', and when the pearl opened the more than 500 Buddhist scriptures bought from the grassland people in front of him, the old monk smiled so cutely. He also said that he would bring back the scriptures and those Buddha statues, bracelets, and prayer beads. Pearl also made it clear to him that she would not sell these things.
At this moment, it seems that a girl came to tell Pearl again that the case of Li Dalang was being tried again. The old monk of the clear space didn't know, the pearl explained again, and not long after, another girl came, saying that the people sent by the master said that the daughter-in-law of the family was a very kind and filial woman, and she stayed at home, and had a good reputation, but obviously the people of the Li family still didn't believe it, and Pearl smiled and said to the master of the clear space,
"Master, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter."
"Hehe, that's what the Venerable Master said." (To be continued......)
