Chapter 285: Kong Asks for Money
Pearl sat there, while cleaning up the jewelry that he had taken off in the morning, he said softly, and the people did not hide out, which made Kong Shi feel a little uncomfortable. But I still have to thank my mother-in-law for her teaching. In the morning, the pearl couple went to the morning exercise, for convenience, naturally they directly coiled a firm bun, braided the hair into a bun, and then pinned it with a pair of silver skeins inlaid with pink rubies, some broken hair on the forehead, pearl simply wrapped the hair on the forehead with a goose-yellow handkerchief in his hand, and the husband and wife finished exercising, and then came back. Then he pulled off the hairpin and put it on the table, seeing that Kong Shi came so early, he couldn't bear to look at his face, so he asked her to go back to wait for her husband first, and breakfast would not start until more than half an hour! Kong bowed, thanked him and left.
It will be very busy for a period of time in the future, because the twin sons will be 100 days away, and now Qin Hui is like Grande, trying to save money! How could you miss such a great opportunity to receive a gift? There is also the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, which is the second largest festival of the year after the Spring Festival, and gift-giving is a big problem. Put away the hairpin, hurry up to wash, the hair is not washed, so it doesn't take long to comb, it's still very cold in the morning, Pearl found a green bottom entwined branch treasure bottle makeup flower jacket, the hair is too long is also troublesome, comb a simple bun, with a gilt flower holder inlaid with diamond-shaped yang green jade hairpin, and don't put on the rose gold hairpin. Pearl's side is cleaned up. When she arrived at the dining room, she was the last one to come, Qin Hui saw that Pearl had changed her style, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Come over and eat quickly!" It's rare to get up early today, and I'm done eating early to play. You're ready to have a good meal. ”
I see! Pearl smiled on her face, said a few words to Qin Deying and his wife, and began to eat, today there are shrimp dumplings that Pearl likes, and Pearl has eaten a lot. When he wasn't hungry, Pearl said to Qin Hui,
"Are the 100 days of the fourth and fifth still according to the original plan?"
While eating, Qin Hui replied, "Well, you can prepare well." There will be no fewer people coming this time. The place for hospitality should be big, so you can clean up the side courtyard over there! By the way, I know you have good wine, and you can't afford to be stingy when the time comes. I said yes. Good wine to entertain. Qin Hui said it very easily. But Pearl got a lot of news, there were many guests this time, and the status of the guests who came this time was high. I'm afraid that the guests who came this time are mouthful. Everything also means that I have definitely gained a lot from this 100-day banquet. Pearl has already discussed with Qin Hui, the gold collars and gold bracelets for his sons are all given to the children as private money, but other gifts are sold directly to Pearl, and then the pearls are given money, and the grain collection has begun, if this time is not enough, it will depend on the harvest of the fifteenth. Also, the pearl must begin to prepare gifts for the queen mother, queen and concubines in the palace on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, especially for the emperor, it is estimated that the big pearl will not be able to be kept, but Qin Hui's official child has been born, give people some benefits, let people feel that you are grateful in their hearts, then next time there is something good, they will think of you, this is human nature, and the emperor is also a human being!
After eating, Pearl is going to see the child, and it is estimated that Zhao Qingyu will arrive at that time, and when the time comes, he will change into a gown and bring some more headgear on his head. Kong followed Pearl step by step, showing very respect, when the two of them were playing with the three children, Kong said to Pearl,
"Mother, in fact, this time, the old lady also asked me to mention it to my father and you, saying that the family's silver is not enough, and there are more human contacts than in the past, so I can't make ends meet, let's see if my parents can get 350,000 taels of silver here to deal with emergencies."
Kong's speech was still very skillful, which made Pearl not completely angry with her, but some words were better explained. So while holding a rattle to tease Xiao Si, he said,
"I know a little bit about the old mansion in the capital, the source of the news...... There are rumors from outside, and there are also private discussions from people in the house, and they have been heard and reached to my ears, and even more so that your father told me. The annual income of the house is not a lot, and the pearls need to be given gifts, especially in the palace, several princes, princesses and those nobles and important ministers. I heard that the old lady often goes to subsidize the Qinyang family, but is it true? ”
"This ...... The daughter-in-law really doesn't know, the daughter-in-law can't see the big account books in the house, but in private, I've heard the third lady talk about it. Although it was not explicitly stated, the fact that the old lady spent three thousand taels of silver from the house was really incredible. Later, the daughter-in-law asked people to inquire, and it seemed that it was for the uncle of the Qin family. ”
Pearl didn't look at Kong's face, and continued, "Of course, three or five thousand taels is not a big amount in our family, even thirty or fifty thousand is not impossible to take, but if you give someone money, you don't even have the attitude to feel it, are you willing to give him silver again?" Pearl looked at Kong, and sure enough, her worried expression faded. Pearl continued,
"If it's three or five thousand taels to help him get through some difficulties, it's fine, but a few times a year, sometimes even lies, where is this to help others! This is when the brothers are holding the silver to support the younger brother's family! Qin Yang is also incompetent, he is in his thirties, and he has only mixed up with a show talent until now, who can afford it? If you can't figure it out, then I'll make it clearer. Now that the Qin family is not divided, no matter how much silver and how many rare treasures my lord and I give, they will all have to enter the big treasury in the house, and then it will be considered the whole family. Of course, it may also be into the old lady's private treasury, which is the most likely, think about it, when the time comes, who can this silver, this thing give? I have my own dowry, and I can live well in the future without the Qin family's silver, so I will put this sentence here. Go back and think about it yourself! Pearl felt that if Kong wasn't stupid, he should be able to understand, but he just couldn't turn the corner.
After playing for a while, Pearl nursed the children, and when they were all full, let the nurse go out to play with the three sons, and then let Kong go back to rest. I had to change into formal clothes to meet Mrs. Yin. If you want to talk to Mrs. Yin about business, it is naturally not good to take the Kong family.
Since the Kong family came, Pearl has always had a question in her heart, Qin Hui's eldest son and daughter-in-law in the previous life was surnamed Wen, but how did it change this time? It's good to see Kong's body, but what is the reason for it? Pearl was a little confused. But it doesn't matter, didn't you follow the trajectory of your life in your previous life?
Back in the room, Pearl changed into a peonized satin gown embroidered with gold and found a full set of jewelry with silver and pearls. On the top of his head, he has a large bead flower with shiny gilt silver multi-colored southern pearls, and three U-shaped hairpins with gilt silver inlaid with multi-colored pearls are inserted in the left and right buns. On the left and right sides, there are twisted silk silver phoenix hairpins, pearl tassels, and swaying. It's a long step. The pearls used are not large, and the lowest ones are not pearls, but slightly larger crystal beads, and a string of silver chains are worn on the forehead and inlaid with small pearls in the shape of flowers. In the middle of the forehead hangs a red pearl in the shape of a droplet. On the back of his head, he wore a pair of pink diamond-encrusted earrings on his ears. Around his neck, he wears an irregular collar with silver inlaid pearls. Each hand also wears a bracelet set with silver pearls and diamonds on his wrist. The size of the pearl is not big or small, flawless and pearlescent, which makes the pearl very satisfied. The ring on the hand is a petal surrounded by diamonds. A pearl in the middle.
Soon, Liu Zi came in and told Pearl that Mrs. Yin had arrived, and Pearl got up and went over, and when Pearl walked into the hall, Mrs. Yin hurriedly stood up and saluted Pearl, and Pearl hurriedly helped her up and said,
"Madame, why should you be polite to me, you also know that I am young, but I can't stand this."
Mrs. Yin said with a smile, "We are all judged by the friendship of men here, but my husband is younger than Lord Qin, so I naturally want to call you sister-in-law." ”
"In that case, I'll continue." Then he turned back to the girl next to him and said, "Go find some jasmine hairs and give them a taste." ”
Mrs. Yin didn't expect that Mrs. Qin even knew her preferences, and she was a little frightened, and hurriedly said that she had a good mouth.
After that, the two women, who were mothers, put the topic on educating their children, and in the end, Mrs. Yin mentioned some medicinal materials. According to Qin Hui's meaning, the pearl directly conveyed it, and Mrs. Yin was really happy. said, "If there is adult support for this matter, then there is nothing that cannot be done." What my lord means is to give Lord Qin fifty percent of the molecules, you see......"
Pearl smiled and said, "Fifty percent is really a lot, but I know my master, and he won't want it." However, I do think of one thing, maybe Mrs. Yin and your master can help. ”
There is a request for her, which can make Mrs. Yin both excited and nervous, and what is exciting is that there is a request for them, which shows that she is useful, and she will have a formal relationship with Lord Qin in the future. I was nervous, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to do what Mrs. Qin said, or I wouldn't be able to do it well. said to Pearl, "If my sister-in-law has something to say, if I can do it, my lord and I will definitely get things done." ”
Seeing Mrs. Yin's nervous appearance, Pearl smiled and said, "This year, we have a bumper grain harvest in the four northeastern provinces, but once the harvest is bumper, the price of grain will fall, and the people will work hard at that time." Besides, the grassland has always been effective, and my lord is worried that once there is a war, food will definitely be a big problem at that time. So I plan to pay for it myself, buy more food and stock it up. Mrs. Yin's family is in the grain business, right? If there is a place to help here, then my family will save a lot of effort! ”
When Mrs. Yin heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Pearl with a smile, "Madame, don't worry, how many years have our family been doing this business, and we are very experienced, I don't know when Lord Qin will be free?" When the time comes, I can ask my master to come and talk to Lord Qin in person. ”
"I really don't know when he's free, so be it! I'll hand you a post as soon as his time is set. ”
"Okay, that's it."
After chatting for a while, Qingfeng came over and said that the fourth young master and the fifth young master had woken up, and Mrs. Yin said goodbye. On the way to the backyard, Liu Zi frowned and asked Pearl, "Madam, this Mrs. Yin is here to intercede, why did she bring some snacks?" ”
Pearl smiled and said, "Don't worry! When it comes to purchasing grain, they can help the master, and they will get a lot of convenience, so you just wait and see! When the fourth and fifth hundred days are young, when the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, the gifts of the Yin family can definitely scare you. ”
The breeze is happy. Mingyue next to her laughed at her sister, who was a money fan.
Because the pearl is unforgettable, so there is no need for the ledger at all, just in case, or get it, and very detailed, must be a gold inlaid jade hairpin, what material is used, the size, what color of the gemstone, but also draw the approximate appearance, and so after the reprocessing, there will be another account book, and there is a good arrangement, in the original account book can find the source.
