Chapter 243: The New Year Gift of the Three Families
The palace shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "Just do what you say, you want the best, if they don't want it, other people's families still want it!" ”
Pearl asked, "My three sisters are all good at embroidery, do they want a big screen, or eight or four screens?" It's all double-sided embroidery in different colors! ”
The palace shopkeeper's eyes were all boastful, last time his old rival got a few screens, but after selling them for a good price, Ha took the opportunity to meet many nobles, pressed him, thinking of this, he asked Pearl, "Have you ever sold a large picture screen, but also a small screen?" ”
"yes!"
The palace shopkeeper immediately said, "Yes, the price is definitely higher than the one you sold last time." All the best, really. ”
"The sandalwood base, the large screen, you think about the price, if the price does not satisfy me, the sale will definitely not be done."
"The girl is absolutely at ease."
Pearl left with the box, got into the carriage, bought some dry food on the way, and went home. This time, the main thing is to sell flowers and prepare a dowry for jadeite, and Pearl is in the carriage and thinks, what else is needed? Yesterday I bought some furnishings and utensils in the house, and some books, to which Pearl added a book of soldiers, as well as a book on the tactics of special operations, I believe it will be useful.
Suddenly, Pearl thought of another question, what about the dowry painting! In the carriage, Pearl took advantage of people's inattention to find his own paintings, but then thought that this seemed to be not enough, and found some pictures on the Internet that you can't say. Sharpened it, went to something that shouldn't appear, changed the protagonist's hair, and then made a note in traditional Chinese characters below, and said hygiene issues, things that both men and women should pay attention to. More to mention some pregnancy and contraceptive measures. I used B5 paper, 500 volumes, found a binding machine, bound it, and waited until I got home. Let people add a cover of brocade well. You can also sell it for a good price!
When it was over, Pearl suddenly thought, who will handle this matter? Last time, I asked the second brother to do it, but this time I handed it over to Liu Xuan and them. Got it. fifty taels of silver a piece. Love or not. It's best to go to the capital or the south to sell it. Actually, this time I sold this thing. It's really not to make money, but to make people less suspicious of this, so many people have such a booklet. If you have it, you won't be suspicious.
When he returned home, Pearl took out 100 pieces of brocade, divided ten horses for himself and two corals, and then divided ten horses for Fang's family to keep, and the remaining eighty brocades were all for Jade's dowry, half of which were woven from the textile factory of his previous life, seven-color brocade, five-color streamer brocade, sequin fabric, bronzing cloth and beaded fabric. There is also fine cloth, and the captain's family is not a big family, and he wants fine cloth and coarse cloth, so he gave Jade sixty pieces of fine cloth and ten pieces of coarse cloth. Ten horses were left for the family, and twenty were left for jade.
In terms of jewelry, I bought a lot more this time, and now Jade has a full set of ruby red gold head jewelry, and a set of silver head jewelry with jade and pearls. Now there's one more day of sapphire, a set of seven-color crystal and diamond head jewelry. A large box such as a golden hairpin, a phoenix hairpin, a bead flower, a sideburn, a golden hairpin, and a jade hairpin. There are four red gold inlaid jewel rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings three-piece set, pearls, sapphires, emeralds and rubies, and seven-color crystals, a total of eight sets. Gold lace inlaid treasure bracelets, bracelets of mutton fat jade and jade, as well as agate, skein silver bracelets and earrings of various materials, precious stones and diamond rings, as well as various necklaces and bracelets. Coupled with the small box of pearls that was originally given to her, it was enough.
There is also a box, in which are placed twenty pairs of silver bracelets of different thicknesses and sizes, ten pairs of red gold bracelets, forty silver hairpins, half of which are inlaid with precious stones or pearls, and twenty gold hairpins, all of which are of exquisite kind. There are also earrings, some silver, some gold, some gemstones and crystals, all very beautiful. There were also twenty rings inside, and the gems on them were very different from those in the other box. There are also 100 gold and silver gymnades in it, all of which are peanuts or oranges. These are used for rewarding or giving gifts during the New Year's holidays. Don't look at the weight of this jewelry, but the workmanship is unique in the world!
This time he also got a lot of money from selling flowers, and the Fang family increased the dowry of jadeite to 3,000 taels of silver, and took away a hundred acres of land. Pearl said that the silver ticket of 2,000 taels for selling embroidery that he had just gotten was also added. The life of the family will get better and better, so if you calculate it, then the jade marries early, but the dowry will be the least, it is precisely because of this that the pearl gave her a small box of pearls, there are about more than 200 in it, less than 12mm treasure level, but they are also 10mm-8mm large, that box of pearls, its value is definitely more than 100,000 taels, because the pearls inside are perfect and flawless. The colors are also very beautiful. In the future, a necklace will be enough to give a gift to Shangfeng. Of course, there is also a screen sent by pearls, a rosewood base, and a mercury coat mirror with treasure inlays. The small mirror placed on the dresser is also worth a lot, and the diamond-encrusted folding makeup mirror and a full set of skin care cosmetics are even more good dowry. Of course, there is also the phoenix crown that has already been given to the jade, this girl still said! It's a shame to bring it once in a lifetime.
It's the New Year soon, and the three Pearl sisters are really busy this year, they have to make clothes for the family, and Pearl simply divides the labor, so that the two sisters are responsible for embroidery, and she is responsible for stitching. In the evening, the sewing machine in the space was quickly made, and the rest of the time, I began to prepare the things set by the palace treasurer.
In fact, this is not difficult at all, the wedding dress is sewn, embroidered with the dragon and phoenix are auspicious and four seasons of flowers, the color is very bright and bold, and a bronzing red transparent yarn is also set on the outside of the skirt, and under the red yarn is actually a crystal bead of various colors, and the upper body of the gauze is full of crystals with crystals, and the cuffs are stared at from small to pearls.
The hijab is also embroidered very exquisitely, sewn on the top of the fine rhinestones, as for the curtain quilt cover, there is a set in the space, pick a set, eight sets of quilt and mattress surface have to embroider themselves, hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren have to embroider themselves, pearls in the space to embroider this. When she was tired, she fell asleep, and then she went out of the space to embroider or read, anyway, with space, she just had enough time.
After doing this, Pearl continued to embroider pictures, which became almost the only thing she did to pass the time, almost all those books were finished, although modern medical books were also read, but there was no chance of actual operation, and reading it could only be on paper. This time, I embroidered a large landscape painting, which is naturally the handiwork of a modern master, and I am just copying it with a needle and thread.
There are a lot of herbs in the space, especially ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and snow lotus, which are more than a thousand years old, as well as Hachigong De Water, and Pearl intends to develop better medicines through modern technology. For example, heart disease, such as drugs that can turn on intelligence, or drugs that can make melt-in-the-mouth and have the effect of heart boosters. And those tongkat Ali, Pearl felt that she was not fully functioning as it should, so she spent more time in the space. What she didn't know was that if she spent a lot of time in the space, her skin and internal organs, and even her hair, would become very healthy. The skin will be smooth and delicate, which is unbelievable.
It's the New Year, and I want to give a New Year's gift to my in-laws, and at this time, Pearl remembered that she had to give gifts to the old people of the Ming family to show her filial piety. Hurriedly selected four pieces of satin material from the material assigned to his hand, because there are patterns on it, it is trouble-free, and four sets of clothes were quickly made, or cotton clothes! Shoes also have to be made, fortunately, there is a girl to help, and she doesn't need to do anything about the soles, she just needs to be responsible for embroidering on the upper.
For other gifts, Pearl and Fang's discussed it, and gave four boxes of home-made dim sum and four jars of good wine, which were bought from a winery in the capital and intended to be used by the guests at the wedding banquet. It's a lot, enough for gifts. There are also things to send to the uncle's family. Pearl cut four rulers from the fabric she bought, but gave the child a fine pink ruler. What I gave to the third brother was the four treasures of the study.
It's the same with the Bai family. It's just that the gifts sent to Sanniu in the capital are a little embarrassing, and they send six high-quality palace satin horses and a box of palace flowers. A red gold inlaid treasure collar, a pair of red gold inlaid treasure bracelets, and a pair of jade pendants. Four jars of good wine, and a set of white jade tea sets. That's too expensive. The family was very embarrassed, Pearl thought about it and said,
"What our family is like, they know, if you spend a lot of money to return the gift, it will make people look down on it, so be it! It just so happened that I embroidered a double-sided embroidery of a Persian cat in different colors, and then they put it on and sent the purse and socks that Coral himself made for Prince Zheng. For the little princess! I'm afraid I won't like anything I give, but this gift is also for adults to see, and the little county lord will give a music box and a jewelry box, plus a folding makeup mirror. We're not rude. Well...... It's not good to send snacks or anything, I have four bottles of good wine here, just bring them over. ”
Liu Tonghammer nodded, and the Fang clan agreed, so everyone started to get busy, this person who sent things was not good for Liu Tonghammer to go, and the men in the family were all studying in the academy! Just let Liu Huang go on a trip. By the way, plus two pots of camellias, let Liu Lan take care of them.
The things that the Bai family sent to Jade were also very cautious, a set of red gold jewelry, two pieces of silk, four boxes of snacks, and four jars of wine, I believe they have done their best. When the pearl was returned as a gift, it was also to ask the jade to send some embroidery to their family, and by the way, ask Bai Sixian's size and all the sizes of the family, which will be used soon. It's good to get married only by making your own clothes, and what you give to your elders is usually shoes and socks. But Pearl knows that Bai Sixian's two younger sisters are very greedy.
