Chapter 284: Blindness
Qin Hui listened to Pearl's words, knew her worries, and felt very guilty in her heart, his wife is a very independent and stubborn person, as the saying goes, 'shun the donkey', what she wants to give, naturally take out the things that you like the most, and figure out people's hearts In the process of giving gifts and receiving gifts, Qin Hui has seen it. In fact, the pearl just doesn't say, Qin Hui has already guessed what his mother meant, and repeatedly said that the family's expenses are too big, but because their family is a big family, there are a lot of relatives and friends, plus Qin Hui's brothers' bosses, colleagues, and friends, when they celebrate the New Year, they all want to give gifts, and they are thin, and their faces are not good-looking. There are still a few grandchildren and granddaughters in the family, and it is time to go out to socialize, go out to meet guests, wear and wear, can not be thrifty, boys go out to socialize to ask for silver, women go out, to bring jewelry, if you always wear those sets, it will definitely make people laugh, if you buy it casually, it is also embarrassing. In short, it is to ask for silver.
Qin Hui didn't know what the old lady meant, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't give more money to the family, and he was still short of money to borrow money from his wife! If you increase the money to the family, how to explain it to your wife, besides, send a large amount of silver and valuables to the family, and then Lord Yushi will have something to do. Besides, don't look at the many gifts he receives, they are also very valuable, but he also needs to give gifts to Shangfeng and his colleagues, and he also has to give benefits to the people who follow him. Besides, now that he is the governor of the four provinces, he must be decent! Now in addition to the official uniform on his body, he has ten sets of clothes every season. There are brocades, cocoon silk, Hangzhou silk, silk crepe, silk elastic satin and other plain surfaces, all of which are made by pearl himself, and the patterns on them are embroidered with a lot of effort. There are also tweed robes worn in the spring and autumn periods, velvet pants and shoulders, all of which fit very well. The materials used are not the well-known python satin and palace satin or something, but everyone has not seen it, but the quality and color, and drape are very good, and this robe is still not pleated. That's it. It's not hard to guess how much it's worth.
Every morning, he dressed Qin Hui and tied a jade belt, since he got married, Qin Hui's jade belt has a big drawer. All in a treasure chest in a top chest. There are all ornaments for Qin Hui. Roughly calculated, jade belt, mutton fat jade. There are more than 30 pieces, all of which are very good Hetian jade, of which 12 are Hetian sheep fat jade, and four are Hetian white jade, four Hetian topaz with different color and luster, two black jade, and the rest are jasper, and the color is not the same, even if it is the same, the pattern is also different. The jade pendant and fan pendant worn on the body are not mutton fat jade, Hetian jade, or jadeite, with exquisite workmanship and warm color, even a layman can see that it is good.
Pearl dressed him up like this, why didn't he do it for the sake of face? In fact, although the old lady was born in a family, she is not a rich family, the dowry is not thick, and in addition, Qin Hui also has a younger brother with the same husband and mother who was passed on to the patriarch of the Hangzhou family, and now she is also thirty-three, and she is just a showman, the Qin family does not mention this stepfather, but the old lady is always stealing things for this son. If this younger brother is a friendly person, Qin Hui will naturally not care, but Qin Hui knows very well that his younger brother Qin Yang is an extreme white-eyed wolf, and he will not be grateful to you no matter how much he gives, this is the reason why Qin Hui didn't care about him after he learned a lesson, and now he is in his thirties, and the old lady often writes to Qin Hui and asks Qin Hui to help Qin Yang find an official position, but this guy deserves it, you owe me a statement, let Qin Hui throw away his sleeves, and no longer give silver, people in their thirties can't support their families, What else can be done? Now that the old lady made this stupid move, it is estimated that she was also forced by Qin Yang to be in a hurry.
Qin Hui thought about it, and then told Qin Yang about it, and the pearl was flustered for a long time before he said, "Is his life very difficult?" ”
Qin Hui snorted, "There are thousands of acres of fertile land at home, two shops, and a two-entry house in the city, what else do you want, every year the old lady gives him 35,000, which is not counting the money he usually goes to fight the autumn wind, I honor the things I give to the old lady, and it won't take long for me to go to their house, so how can I help him again?" ”
Pearl finally understood, but he also saw that Qin Hui didn't plan to give money and things, Qin Hui was such a smart person, he probably knew the old lady's intention of sending her eldest son to come. The pearl didn't say anything more.
Early the next morning, the couple had just come back from morning exercise, and they saw Qin Deying and Kong Shi waiting for them, Pearl went to wash, and then began to change clothes and make up, there is a guest coming today, it is Mrs. Yin, Pearl has dealt with her in her previous life, and that Li Suxin is what she told herself. This woman is still a bit narrow-minded. Her family's business involves a wide range of areas, including grain, as well as the north and south commercial houses, especially the largest textile factory and embroidery village in the south is her family's, and only his family has a way to get a few horses of the rare streamer brocade in the palace. The other goods are also the best, taking the upper route. This time they wanted to do a tea business here, so they came over to explore the situation, after all, they didn't know if someone had already taken over the business. Pearl asked Qin Hui last night, and Qin Hui said that no one had left the door to do this business, so he could agree.
Because of today's visit, Qingfeng and Mingyue picked out a rose and purple gold engraved silk knee-length narrow sleeve skirt and a jujube red horse-faced skirt from the wardrobe. Kong wanted to help on the side, but he couldn't intervene for a while, as soon as the wardrobe was opened, there was a large row of gowns hanging inside, and there were three such big wardrobes next to it! This wardrobe can be said to be the largest cabinet that Kong has ever seen. It is also a very rare piece of rosewood furniture. Take a closer look, the gowns of this wardrobe cabinet, at least seventy or eighty pieces, and the other cabinet is divided into two layers, the upper layer is the upper shirt and the armor. There are also shawls and shawls. This shawl is really gorgeous, the color is bright with pearlescent satin, embroidered with gold thread and colored thread to embroider all kinds of flowers and birds and beasts, some of the shawl is embroidered with gold thread, some are strung with colored beads into patterns, and some are made of jade pieces to make flowers and leaves.
There is also a very popular wool thread woven recently, she has also seen people wear it in the capital, but whether it is from the pattern or from the feel and color, the shawl here is several times stronger than those, look at how beautiful the roses woven on the shawl are! There were three or four kinds of wool threads, and there were flowers and ornaments of one color, and long tassels hung down at the ends of the shawl. Multi-colored ones are woven with other colors of wool on the original base, and some are also nailed with pearls, precious stones, and jade. The floor below this wardrobe is all skirts. Looking at these clothes, Kong really has nothing to say, weaving brocade, weaving gold satin, feather satin, Japanese satin, silk, crepe de chin, Doro, and even streamer brocade, seven-color brocade and glitter satin, which has been very popular in the capital recently. It's beautiful.
While Pearl was dressing up, Kong Shi was watching from the side, helping to hand things over. Qingfeng took out a small rectangular box from the cabinet on the dresser and opened it. Kong's mouth has grown up, this is a large set of jewelry, the pearl combed the Lingyun bun, the middle of the bun wore a gold silk camellia inlaid with eight treasures Jin Tian, the left and right sides of the bun each wore three small hairpins with gold silk inlaid beads, a total of six small hairpins, but this pearl is the size of a dragon's eye, the color is not the same, there are white, pink, purple, milky white, gray and rose, the beads are naturally inlaid with rhinestones.
He wears a gold-inlaid camellia ring around his neck, camellia-shaped earrings carved from aqua blue chalcedony on his ears, and a pair of tourmaline bracelets on his wrists. On both hands, one hand carries a pure gold and diamond-encrusted opal ring, and the ring is so brilliant that even if you are in the house at this time, you can notice it at a glance. The ring on the other hand is a large ring worn on the index finger, a solid gold base, an oval faceted prehnite with smaller pinkish-purple rubies on both sides, and pale blue aquamarine and citrine in good color.
Kong Shi felt that his heart had been beating wildly, when the wardrobe was opened, those dresses, brocade colors were never seen before, or gorgeous, or elegant, very exquisite, the color matching is even better, and then look at the color of the clothing, all with silk pearlescent, when the girls turned the dress, Kong Shi even involuntarily walked over and looked at it, while looking, while sighing, for a long time, under the strange eyes of the girls, before leaving the wardrobe.
"Mother, you have so many clothes, they are so beautiful, are they all bought in the city? Or did you buy it in Zhuozhou? ”
Pearl was brushing her eyebrows, and after hearing her words, she said, "I have just been newly married, and it is normal to have more clothes, not to mention that it is autumn now, it is cold in the morning and evening, but it is very hot at noon, so I naturally have to change my clothes twice a day, so it can be said that I put the clothes of the two seasons together." As for this material, some are in the city, some are given by others, and some are bought in Zhuozhou. ”
Kong thought in his heart, this material is the best, if it is in the treasure building in the capital, those magnates can also get it, but the style of this dress is cut, embroidered and colored, but I have never seen it, and the embroidered pattern is like a brocade, because the silk thread used is too thin, even if you touch it with your hands, you can't feel the raised pattern. This kind of craftsmanship can be described as everyone. Thinking of the beads and gems on those clothes, Kong said,
"Mother just dresses up, sews beads on clothes, nails gems, dresses sparkle in the sun, candlelight, it's so beautiful, if I can have such a beautiful dress, I'm afraid I won't even be able to sleep."
"When you have it, you won't feel anything, this person! They all have bad roots, and what they can't get is always the best, and when they really have it, they don't feel like it's going to be good. Besides, with my current status, if someone finds out that they are not wearing new clothes and the jewelry they are wearing has not changed, it will make people laugh to death. Kong, you are the same, you don't have to be jealous and envious of others, because that will only torment yourself, even if it is not in front of my mother-in-law, or in front of other people, your sour words are enough to offend people.
