Chapter 248: Plan Ahead

Recently, the family has been really busy, Pearl also took the time to go, I didn't expect to solve a big trouble, a few days, I received a letter from Ming Qian, an explanation, and also wrote a letter of guarantee, and let Liu Hai, Liu Gui and his mentor Xu Haitao as witnesses, he is a wife in this life, Liu Pearl has a wife, and his life is not the same. No problems such as having children or dying before marriage can stop them from being together. This letter looks ridiculous, but if you think about it, it is also a kind of guarantee, and there are not many men who can make such a guarantee! I feel a little relieved, a little happier in my heart, and a little bit in love.

After the spring planting, it is the jade that gets married, so many days, the family is full of people, and the master chef is invited to cook, but the things of washing and cutting vegetables and making staple food still need the help of the subordinates of the family and the women in the village. A lot of the dishes have to be prepared in advance. The pearl naturally would not let Jade be wronged, and set eight dishes, eight bowls and sixteen dishes. That's going to start six days before the work. Pearl was already on the way back from the academy, sent Mama Liu to Zhuangzi in Zhuozhou first, and then took Liu Zi to the capital, and prepared the most exquisite and luxurious wedding dresses and wedding leave supplies made by himself, and even a two-meter bead chain of artificial crystal, the bead chain is purple, with butterfly-shaped decorations on it, when the palace shopkeeper saw these big bags of things, his eyes lit up, he opened it and took a rough look, and then let Pearl wait in the store, let the guy entertain him well, and send things by himself.

The pearl also gave the jade a hanging bead chain, which is white and yellow, and is a bead chain made of small to large beads. This time I came to the cloth shop, Pearl looked around again, the guy knew that it was an important customer, and served six cloud brocade to Pearl, and whispered to Pearl that this is a rare good thing, Pearl looked at it, it was really a match, mud gold camellia, royal blue camellia, foundation small rose, fiery red peacock peony, blue camellia on the white bottom of the moon. Pale pink magnolia flowers. The color scheme is all very good. There are only two of each type in the store, and each batch is forty taels, and the pearls are all included.

The guy also has a commission for selling things, and he is such a big deal. It's even more refreshing than the wives of big families. Then he led the pearl to the inner chamber. Open the inner storeroom and let the pearls be selected at will. There are 17 varieties of makeup satin, makeup yarn, makeup Luo, makeup silk, etc.

Pearl looked at the fabric in this ** excitedly, and her heart was surging. You know, some silk brocade can be woven by modern machines, and some can't, such as this cloud brocade, the representative variety of cloud brocade is Jinbaodi. It is the use of different luster of gold thread characteristics, with round gold thread woven into the gold ground, on the gold ground to weave colorful patterns, and with flat gold thread to weave a large piece of brocade, set off in the meantime. The product is brilliant and dazzling, it is the most distinctive traditional product in Yunjin to turn a piece of heavy gold into gold foil as light as a feather, and then glue the gold foil on a special paper, press and polish, and finally cut it into strips, peel out the gold thread, and the silk is intertwined, twisted into a gold thread.

Pearl saw the "Silk Sanskrit Dharani Yellow Sutra", "The Complete Scroll of the Silk Painted by the King James Supplement Duan Shilan Pavilion Diagram Thread", as well as the screens and scrolls woven by the silk, cloud brocade, Shu brocade, Song brocade, etc. In addition to these, the pearl has a prize for the makeup satin, makeup yarn, fragrant cloud yarn, woven gold brocade, ancient fragrant satin, etc., all moved away, where the little guy recorded, and also found another guy to hire a car. A total of four wagons were hired! Pearl gave them a total of 187,000 taels of silver. This silver ticket was redeemed when it came, fortunately! Otherwise, how could this shopkeeper's good things be bought so easily! If you are to talk about the real value, here in pearls, these things are more than a million taels of silver.

The shopkeeper soon returned, and said happily to Pearl, "One hundred thousand taels of silver!" To tell you the truth, this is a dowry for the county lord, so don't say anything. ”

"Don't worry." Pearl replied, and the shopkeeper directly handed over the 100,000 taels of silver tickets to Pearl, and Pearl asked with some confusion, "What about your commission?" ”

"My family gave it separately, don't forget to send something good next time!"

"Don't worry, it will be sent, I owe you a favor after all! By the way, this time the sale is so good, I'll give the shopkeeper a thing! After speaking, he motioned for Liu Zi to bring up the thing, which was a crystal rose ornament, that is, a purple rose was placed in the crystal. The shopkeeper looked at it and said excitedly, "Is it for me?" ”

"Yes." After Pearl had finished speaking, he went out and got into the carriage and left, and soon after he heard a roar, presumably the young man told him that all the precious silk he had collected in the inner treasury had been sold.

After that, Pearl went to a few treasure shops, bought some things, and bought a lot of materials for making snacks, and then went home, went to Zhuozhou to pick up Mama Liu, and bought a lot of seafood from the dock. It's okay to keep it at home for two days. Besides, there is a way to talk about pearls.

Pearl returned home, the house was full of helpers, as well as people who came to visit, Pearl and the coachman went to eat, and then swept most of the things inside into the space, and the remaining two pieces of gold silk jade box ornaments, gold silk gourd ornaments, is the dowry for jade. There was also seafood or something, and I was busy calling someone to come and move things.

After entering the house, the pearl was tired, and it was a bit too much to let people boil water and take a bath at this time, so they told Liu Zi that they were going to lie down for a while, so they entered the space, went to take a bath first, and then put things in a bathrobe, put all the fabrics away, and sent the treasures they bought to the eleventh floor. Looking at the space here, it's really a bit insufficient, it seems that you have to put those jade bracelets and jade pendants in a box and pile them up, as well as those pearls and corals, agate and other beads, tourmaline beads, all kinds of earrings necklaces or something, all together, otherwise there will be good things in the future, but there will be no place to put them. A large board was designed, the board was wrapped with flannel, and then all the earrings and earrings were hung, both sides could be hung, such boards were arranged at the smallest distance, and then there were bracelets, jade, mutton fat jade, blood jade, southern red agate and other bracelets are pearls' favorites, and now they can only be guarded into the box in a row, and the box is divided into several layers, all of which are these bracelets. The same is true for jade pendants, almost all of them are put on one floor, and then several layers are put into a box, the necklace is scraped up like earrings, and so are the collars, but those hairpins, sideburns, beads, phoenix hairpins and flower crowns can only be put in the box. Even so, half of the space was vacated. In terms of fabrics, coarse muslin and tweed are placed in the back warehouse, and the good ones are placed in the front store. Each shop can hold at least 2,000 horses. More than 30,000 horses can be placed in more than a dozen stores. There are more in the middle lobby, and you can directly put 50,000 horses. The warehouse at the back is full of modern fabrics, and it is estimated that it can hold 50,000 horses.

If that's not enough, it's okay to put it in the warehouse on the ninth floor, where you can put more than 200,000 horses. Besides, there are very few electrical appliances on the tenth floor, so the four shops can be put down, and the rest of the place can be used to put all kinds of antiques and ornaments. There is also a place on the third floor.

When it was finished, and her hair was almost dry, Pearl put a book in red brocade leather into the box where the gold silk ornaments were kept. Then really lay down and fell asleep. Until Coral came in and called her,

"Eldest sister, it's time to eat, but you can't get up yet?" Pearl got up and said to Coral,

"I'm tired today! Is grandpa okay? ”

"Grandpa is in good spirits today, many old people go to him to smoke, and I don't know where the eldest sister got it, and the old people in the village like it very much." Coral helped Pearl take a copy,

Pearl smiled and said, "Grandpa Tai is very happy today?" ”

"That's natural, wearing brocade, wearing a jade pendant around his waist, even the mouth of the cigarette pouch is jade, and there are so many copper coins in the purse, whoever comes will give a few. I listened to the compliments of those people. Before leaving, I had to carry some tobacco before leaving. ”

Pearl smiled and didn't speak, just happy, the old man just likes to be lively, while combing his hair, pulling up a simple bun, plugging in a rich and noble double happiness silver step, on the day of great joy, wearing a red jacket skirt, and a pale yellow silk flower on his head, with silver gourd earrings on his ears.

"Why didn't the eldest sister bring gold and jade?" Coral asked, today Coral is also wearing a festive dress, a red embroidered skirt with a multi-colored crystal butterfly hairpin on her head, which is modern and just right for her double-ring bun,

"They are all from the village, and I am afraid that people will not feel comfortable looking at them, not to mention that the family I married is not very rich, so it is not too much."

Coral nodded, and said to Pearl again, "Uncle and aunt's family have been here to help for a few days in a row, and they don't want to rest, but they just send food back to Liu An at noon, and Aunt Qiao also comes, and she does a lot of work, and she doesn't spend much, I don't know what it means." ”

Pearl still remembers that the clothes Qiao Gu wore last time were not very new, and there was only a red headband on her head, and there were no other accessories. They are all cousins, and now they are willing to change their ways, and Pearl is happy to help. He said to Sango, "Now that people have expressed it, we don't have to be too picky." I'll cut a piece of fabric, and you can send it to your uncle's house. I have a green jacket skirt here that I haven't worn yet, you can give it to Aunt Qiao! There are also many silk flowers at home, give her a few. ”

Then the jewelry box was opened, and more than 30 pairs of earrings hung on the lid of the box, including gold, silver, jade or coral, and an agate bead was picked out, and a drawer below was opened, and a small hairpin with a seven-color crystal flower silver skein was found and wrapped with a handkerchief. Then he opened the cabinet and took off a piece of jujube muslin, a navy blue, a sauce purple, and a royal blue. Wrap it in coarse cloth and give it to the coral. Said

"After a while, the people will disperse, so you can leave it to Aunt Qiao! It also makes them understand that it is good to follow us. ”

Coral smiled and replied, "I know that the eldest sister has a lot of eyes, is it that she is waiting for her seventies and eighties, and she has to see whose coffin is cheaper before she dies?" ”

"Stinky girl!" Pearl scolded with a smile. (To be continued......)
