Yue knew that Pearl had done such a big business, had so much money in his hands, and had such a rich dowry, and even took out hundreds of thousands of dollars to give to his husband. If it weren't for the pearl to make it clear, it was at the wharf in Zhuozhou, doing foreigners' business, and the profits were more than ten, or even more, and the pearl did not hide from her, last year's income exceeded 100,000 taels of silver, more than 5,000 taels of gold, countless gemstones, jadeite and gemstones, crystals, tourmalines, etc. over there in the South Seas, and even a large number of medicinal materials and precious sandalwood, ebony, red sandalwood, iron wood and rare golden silk nanmu and agarwood. There are also a lot of things for foreigners, and Pearl said to Yue that he often went to the dock in Zhuozhou to select good gems and jade, and then invited craftsmen from the treasure building to process them. Because of business, Pearl is very familiar with the merchants on both sides of the south, so he can often get a lot of things that outsiders can't get, and the price is fair, Western clocks, rouge and gouache. In addition to these gains, he left a large number of good tea, fine porcelain, the most exquisite, gorgeous, and up-to-date silk brocades, the best southern specialties, and bought cheap ginseng, venison, cordyceps, diamonds, emeralds and other precious stones from Zhuozhou.

The more Yue listened, the more she understood, the sister-in-law was telling her that she had silver, and she could earn silver, and that when her fleet came back in the future, she would bring back more wealth. She is not rare in the Qin family's silver, because for the sister-in-law, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

Although the Yue family was born in a family of eunuchs, his grandfather, father, brother, and nephew were all in the army, so to speak. When she got married, there were many dowries, including antiques, jewelry, gold and silver utensils, gilt ornaments, jade inserts, copper tripods, bronze mirrors, ancient books and paintings and three boxes of jewelry, there were six sets of complete sets, although they were not as good as the best of the treasure building. But it's also very delicate. The silver in the box was 20,000 taels. There are also two Zhuangzi and two shops, but after so many years, the husband has become an official. She also filled in a lot. Every year, the income from the Zhuangzi is given to the husband for entertainment. Even stole money from the public, although the dowry money was saved, but the antiques and calligraphy and paintings of the dowry were also used as gifts. Now Pearl has brought a pillow. She's certainly excited.

In a very warm atmosphere, the two of them talked about it properly, so that Yue's shop became a tea house, selling the best tea leaves, as well as all kinds of exquisite tea sets. If you want to say what is the most valuable thing to sell in Daliang, it is of course a luxury, the pearl promised to provide a source of goods, and the Yue family promised to send the third brother of the pearl Liu He to the eldest brother as a closed disciple and send it to the army, and the profits obtained are fifty percent for the pearl, forty percent for the Yue family, and one percent for the Yue family, don't look at this is only one percent, it is estimated that it can be worth the Yue family's income for a year. Yue and Pearl have reached a consensus, the shipbuilding matter is handed over to Yue, Yue is also responsible for finding a strong man, and the other part of the sailors also have Yue to find, and the rest of the ship's business people are in charge of Pearl, Yue also has a sister in Suzhou, opened a big embroidery village, can get the best and most embroidery, of course, this matter can not be missing Qin Ming, the second in charge of the coast in Fuzhou, is responsible for arranging the port, loading and unloading personnel and the storage of goods, Han is a hot temper, but her maiden family is from the south, Han's mother's family, is the richest man in Suzhou and Hangzhou, now the head of the house is Han's mother, the head of the family is her own brother, and it was brought up by Han's own hands, in addition to exporting expensive silk, but homespun cloth, flower cloth, gold and silver utensils and metal utensils, as well as daily necessities are also essential items for export, so Han can also enter a share, in this way, the three brothers have sweetness, everyone is happy, pearl means, to wait for their own people to go to sea to come back, in this way, to know the first-hand information of going to sea, Second, those experienced people who are hard to find can also be prepared and adjusted at any time from the popularity of the items they sell. When the manpower is complete and the goods are ready, the three brothers will send people to the sea together, and when the time comes, the Yue family will not have to worry about making up their dowry. Without money, the façade can't hold up, and the Yue family doesn't want their sons to be reduced to the second rate.

The speculation that the two people said, the big thing has been decided, and there is no scruple when speaking, the girl in the middle also has a snack, which is very exquisite, and bamboo charcoal is added again, and the house is very warm, Yue sighed,

"Sister-in-law, you are really thoughtful! Could it be that he had expected the old lady to come back? ”

Pearl smiled and said, "Where did I think she would be like this, but because these are all used to at home, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to use here, and now there is more than half a month before the New Year, and the emperor will seal the pen after the year, and when there is a new task or appointment, if there is no news before the year, you will have to wait for the fifteenth year after the year, then the stay will be long, such a long time, of course, you have to bring all the things." I just didn't expect it to be used. ”

Yue stood up, walked around, and entered the bedroom, and saw the Rashel blanket spread on the kang, I liked it very much, the quilt was even lighter to pick up, and the furnishings in the room were simple and elegant, but if you looked closely, it was definitely not a bargain, even the hand stove in the pearl's hand was gilded, and the pattern was exquisite, so she said to the pearl, "Sister-in-law will really enjoy it." ”

"What are you making money for? Isn't that what it's all about? ”

"Your blanket is really good, and it's also from a foreigner? And this quilt, so light, what is it made of? Yue said in amazement,

Pearl once gave the old lady a set of down cotton clothes and cotton pants, it seems that people are useless, otherwise they don't know the benefits of this dress? Thinking of this, Pearl said, "You don't know what this quilt is made of?" ”

Yue asked in surprise, "I don't know!" ”

"I once gave the old lady a cotton coat made of down, which is made of duck down, which is very warm and light, much better than cotton." Pearl knew what was going on, but she still asked,

Yue's was a little embarrassed and said, "The old lady was very appreciative of the things that were sent at the beginning, and some of them were simply given away as gifts, and they didn't keep them at all." ”

"Who have you been?"

"Mother-in-law in the kitchen."

Pearl nodded, the duck down padded jacket is made of fine silk, no pattern, it is the clothes worn inside, naturally it is rewarded to the next person, Pearl smiled bitterly, Yue Shi saw it, and felt that he would have to make more efforts in the future, the sister-in-law was so heartfelt, giving herself such a big benefit, and hinting that the eldest brother would help her husband to be promoted, if you don't say it, why should people partner with you? smiled and said to Pearl, "Sister-in-law, you have this good thing, you can't be stingy, get me a set too, I want quilts and blankets, and cotton clothes!" By the way, my two sons can't forget either. ”

Pearl knew that she was relieving herself and relieving her embarrassment, so she said, "It seems that you are really starting to understand me, I am still a rat temper, and I am willing to hide things, don't worry, I will order it immediately, and Ming'er will send it to you." ”

"Then I'll wait! Oh, it's time for dinner, sister-in-law, if you don't give tea to your mother-in-law, it can also be said that you don't count as a wife of the Qin family, and your sister-in-law still has to think of a way as soon as possible. ”

Pearl said with a smile, who can be greater than the emperor's holy decree? I gave so much money to help the emperor do things, and I also got a name in the emperor, and I gave generous gifts to the queen mother and queen in the palace, and I also had some friendships. The third brother and sister can rest assured, I have received your wishes. ”

When Yue heard Pearl say this, he was convinced, and hurriedly said goodbye to Pearl, and by the way, she would help, and the person left.

Yue's family wants to go back to their yard first, with the key in their hands! Along the way, I thought about Pearl and what she said, and thought carefully, the eldest brother is the son-in-law, the patriarch, and Jane is in the emperor's heart, and the future of her husband in the future must rely on the eldest brother, plus Pearl, the wealthy sister-in-law, pulling her to do business together, this is obviously giving herself silver! Without his own help, other people's boats were also built, and they also went to sea, and they took her and their second sister-in-law, in order to help, and they got along for more than an hour, and they also touched a little bit of the sister-in-law's temper, and they could even be completely sure that the sister-in-law did not come with her to rob the housekeeper rights at all, let alone care about the small property of the Qin Mansion, nor was she the object of her house fight, and the ambition and actions of the sister-in-law were almost out of the limitations of the back house, and they would not be coerced.

When I returned to my yard and entered the inner room, I saw that the girls and grandmothers around me were looking at the two boxes and the four big boxes, Yue handed over the key in his hand to the girl next to him, and said, "Go and open it!" Look at everyone, they're all watching with their eyes open! ”

The girl took the key with a smile, opened the box and the box one by one, opened the lid of the two boxes, and everyone exclaimed, inside the two boxes, one of them put a big fox fur cloak with a streamer brocade face, and took out one, another one, there is a cloak, there is a cloak, and the third master is a dark brown mink cloak, which is the same color bottom woven gold makeup satin material, with a hood, which can be worn on both sides, look at this mink, the fur is shiny, there is no trace of variegation, the fabric is even more elegant, it looks majestic. Look at your own cloak, jujube red fox skin, bright and bright, the inside is a rare jujube red main color of the streamer brocade, open to see, shiny, if it is in the light or the sun, it is even more dazzling, I also have a sable cloak, can also be called a big coat, the face is black background satin embroidered five-color peony, there are gold threads mixed in, beautiful so that Yue's eyes are sour. For his two sons, it was also a mantle of mink, one royal blue and the other green.

In another box, there are twenty-four woven gold satin, cloud brocade, silk, cocoon silk, two-color flash satin, five-color brocade two each, the color is very positive, four of the color is a little dark, but the pattern on it is exquisite, gold and silver thread is mixed in it, can be given to the elderly, can also be used for men. This sister-in-law, the gift is really thoughtful, of course, the material suitable for yourself to wear is the most, look at this cloth, the cloth is very wide, can be much more than other fabrics, look at this horse, so thick, should be able to have two more sets of clothes than before. Even if it's a gift, it's extremely decent. (To be continued.) )
