Liu Xuan brought back the jade, pearls, are carved on the Zhuangzi in Zhuozhou, do not require time, only require quality and artistry, pearls provide some of the artwork is directly used by these craftsmen, some are to provide inspiration for these craftsmen, carved out of the works, more and more love of pearls, now pearls as gifts to send out things are very few, really reluctant, you must know that this is the best sheep fat jade and Hetian jade, can not be found!

Qin Hui's people followed Liu Xuan to the Western Regions, and brought back more, and he sent these jade stones to the most famous carving workshops in the south, Suzhou and Hangzhou. After the completion of these sheep fat jade and Hetian jade, they were directly sent to the south and the capital for sale, and they were not given away, you must know that the Western Regions are not the territory of their Liang, there is no large-scale mining, this jade is very valuable, folk, only dignitaries can have jade, can have good jade, and only the palace royal family, as well as the rich family can have. Of course, Xiuyu still has it, but because of jade, for the Chinese people, it is the most respected, the gentleman with jade, that is a must, women wear jade jewelry, that is a symbol of connotation, a symbol of status.

Now Qin Hui has purchased a large amount of grain, and the pearl has given a total of 400,000 taels of silver, but the grain is still being purchased, and the price of grain is also because Qin Hui sent a large number of people to buy it, compared with last year, it has not fallen, but has risen a little per stone of grain. Qin Hui is happy and worried! The good news is that the peasants have become rich, and they have not lost money because of the bumper grain harvest, but have increased their incomes. And the income of the peasants was rich. It also led to some other industries, such as handicrafts, and more people bought bricks and stones, which was to build houses, and some cement was sold in the four provinces in their northeast, so that the houses built by the people were very strong. After that, it is to buy jewelry, clothes, furniture, in short, the market is very prosperous.

Originally, Qin Hui planned to restrict the border market, from the original once a month. It becomes bi-monthly. But then I thought about it, it was better not to press it too hard, and they could buy more wool on their side, because cotton was not planted in a large area in Daliang. However, the four northeastern provinces that need cotton the most are unable to grow cotton. No way. Wool is also warm, if the clothes have shearling in them or are spun into wool, they are woven into sweaters. Put on a sheepskin jacket or a cotton jacket on the outside, there will be no problem in winter, and their yamen also let people buy a lot, let people spin into wool, weave into blankets, felt, in winter, can be sent to those homeless people in the coldest time, so that many people can freeze to death.

Qin Hui has gained a lot in jade, although this is all a private business, but Qin Hui has also reported in the secret fold, planning that if there is a war in the future, this money will be used to buy food, pay the army, or buy materials to prepare firearms and weapons on the eve of the war, and have the money to take it out. The emperor's reply was 'quasi', which made Qin Hui much bolder.

Qin Hui has a relative in the south, a cousin, who is also in his thirties this year, called Xiang Qun, is a big businessman in the south, of course, this is just an appearance, he also has an identity, that is, a spy of the imperial court, and also Qin Hui's distributor, Xiang Qun is shrewd, on the surface, I can't see how much contact he has with Qin Hui, but Pearl knows, because no matter what happens at home, the most valuable and thoughtful gifts are the things sent to the group, these things are not sent directly from the gate, Instead, it was sent directly to Qin Hui's private residence. Then Qin Hui will hand over the gift list to the pearl, if there is something eye-catching, the pearl will be brought back, and sometimes it will be sent to his own space, such as the cloth sent last time, the pearl will take a fancy to forty-two horses, and sweep it directly into his own space.

In fact, it was not Qin Hui who told the pearl himself, but when he went to the private house, there was a special room where these silk brocades and treasures and antiques were placed, and after reading the account book of the private house, he knew that the things in this room were all sent by one person, and after looking at it carefully, there were antiques, treasures, gems and pearls, as well as various silk brocades, as well as precious medicinal materials, ginseng, deer antlers, rhino horns, He Shou Wu, etc., and the pearls looked good, so they were directly put into their own space. It is rare that the fur here is good, and Pearl picked a good mink and fox skin, which was just right to make clothes, and brought it back. Thinking that there would be a war in the coming year, this time Pearl directly transported some rare good things and these things that could not be rewarded or exchanged for money at a critical moment to Zhuangzi and the capital in Zhuozhou little by little. The good ones are put in the space. Bring back to the house, and bring back some things in the house.

As soon as I got out of the car and entered the house to freshen up, I heard Liu Zijin say that Mama Cheng was here, and Pearl took off the jewelry on her head and ordered people to come in.

"Greetings to Madame."

"How has the eldest lady been in the past two days?" Pearl seems to be a little accustomed to wearing less jewelry at home, she is a married woman, she has to coil her hair into a bun, but her hair is more and longer, and she has to bring jewelry when she goes out, and she wears less of it, and she can't fix her hair bun at all, and the weight of her hair plus jewelry can crush people's necks.

Mama Cheng entered the door, first saluted Pearl, Pearl asked Mingyue to help Mama up, sat aside, she was still busy undressing her hair, and asked, "In the past two days, has the fire of the eldest lady been extinguished?" Do you use it to clear your stomach? ”

Mama Cheng said with a smile, "The seven-year-old little girl has long been honest, in fact, this matter can't be blamed entirely on the eldest lady, when she was in the Qin Mansion, there were many times when the old slave couldn't be disciplined." In addition, the third lady lives in the mansion and manages the affairs of the mansion, the subordinates praise the high and the low, and the old lady is confused, even if she sometimes knows, she is unwilling to go to the face of the third lady for the sake of the eldest lady. The second lady is only a few months away from our eldest lady, but because her mother Han often sends things to the old lady, the Han family often takes the second lady over to play. With such a comparison, the days of the eldest lady are naturally not wishful, and the degree of food and clothing is all customized in the house, and occasionally you get something. It was also given by the two young masters, but the two young masters were also strapped for money, and they didn't know the little girl's preferences, where could there be anything? went out to meet guests, saw other people's children, read books, learned female celebrities, learned rules, and had things that could be shown, the eldest lady's temperament. That's how it naturally became. ”

Pearl loosened her hair. Naturally, it was refreshing, and Mingyue took the homely jacket with red cotton woven gold satin narrow sleeves. The pearl was put on, and the mouth was not idle, and said.

"Didn't I send a good one? What happened to the results? Not only did I not see the appreciation. Give it back to my people's faces. ”

Mama Cheng said with a smile. "Madame wants to talk about this matter, the old slave really asked carefully, what Madame sent. It's all good, the eldest lady likes it very much, but the nurse doesn't let the eldest lady say anything, and there is no greeting, and there is no return gift. Those things were just glanced at by the eldest lady and asked grandma to lock them up. Later, the slave went, and the eldest lady once said that she saw the brocade given by the lady, and she actually saw the old lady and the third lady and the second lady. I heard that the exquisite jewelry had already been given to a favored niece and granddaughter of the old lady's family. The eldest lady also saw it with her own eyes, and she cried for a long time for this. ”

Pearl sighed and asked, "Tell me, how many young ladies and young masters does the Qin family have in the capital?" ”

"Yes, ma'am." Mama Cheng put away her smiling face and said, "There are two young masters of our family, the eldest lady, in addition to them, there is also the second young lady of the second master's family, Qin Mei, who is a few months younger than our young lady, and their third son, Qin Dening, is eleven years old this year, two months younger than the second young master of our family, and Qin Deyun, the fourth son of the third master's family, is nine years old this year, and he is very good friends with the second young master of our family, and they are often together." The fifth son, Qin Dexian, is six years old this year and is a very quiet child. There is also a concubine Wang, who gave birth to a concubine, Qin Yan, who is also four years old this year and is very pampered. ”

"What else?" Pearl divides her hair into two parts, the top of her head is coiled in a bun, and the remaining strand is braided and pulled back to the back of her head. The rest of the hair was pulled into a back bun, and the silver rhombus with tassels was used, and the round bun on the head was also made with three butterfly flower hanging tassels silver hairpin, and then I began to wash my face.

Mama Cheng said, "There are also two nieces and granddaughters of the old lady, one is named Wang Peihuan, who is ten years old this year, and the other is called Wang Jiehuan, who is eight years old this year, three days older than the eldest lady of our family." ”

"The old lady treats these two girls better than the eldest lady?" Pearl quickly grasped the crux of the matter,

Mama Cheng said, "This old slave is also absolutely strange, and he also shush the eldest lady, but for this reward, or when they get along on weekdays, they praise the two a lot, they don't receive our share of the house, but the old lady's extra rewards are a lot, and they are all from outside, but the eldest lady gets the same things for the second and third misses, but those two young ladies have extra gains, and our eldest miss doesn't." ”

"Hehe, it's just a little thing, but it has a lot of effect, causing my family's serious daughter-in-law to become stingy and calculating. Okay, I also know, after you go back, tell the eldest lady how many masters to understand everything, if the reason doesn't make sense, just say the reality, in the Qin family, I am the wife of the family, even if I am the stepfamily, I also have the financial power in my hands, and even her future marriage, I don't ask her to please her, just don't embarrass me. Being a person can be seen through at a glance, and doing things has just begun, so that she knows her purpose, and then don't use her head at all, and chant the Buddha in the future, and ascend to the Tao, which is also the glory of my Qin family. ”

Pearl's words scared Mama Cheng, I didn't expect that Mrs. was so refreshing, it seems that she has to use dim sum, if the eldest lady is still obsessed, then she has to consider changing the master, otherwise there is really no future. Seven-year-old children, say not big, say small is not small, look at other young ladies, know how to please people early. If she still can't learn well, who can blame her? (To be continued.) )
