All the American ginseng on the market is made from pearls. The price is high, and it is also pearl operated. Now I have brought some back, and there are several warehouses in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing!

The next day. After Qin Hui went down. took the gift prepared by the pearl to the house of the first assistant of the teacher's cabinet, Xu Baojing. After that, he had to go to the house of Gao Wenbin, a scholar of the Cabinet University, the family of Feng Yi, the British Gong of the Ministry of War, and the house of Li Lun, Qin Dezhang's future father-in-law. The gifts of these families, Pearl and Qin Hui also discussed it deliberately. It's not a New Year's gift, but you have to show your heart.

Therefore, what Qin Hui brought to Xu Baojing was a larger pocket watch with gilt inlaid treasures, with a red gold chain, which was easy for the boss to look at, and five pairs of glasses, with different degrees, one large and one small magnifying glass. There is also a monocular. At the same time, he also brought a good fan, a pair of famous calligraphy and paintings, a pair of calligraphy, and gave the old lady a pearl necklace, which is very special, it is dark green, and the beads are as big as the core of the dragon's eye, round and flawless, and the pearl is brilliant. Such a valuable necklace shows importance and respect, and the old lady will definitely like it.

The Prince of England was also given a pocket watch and glasses, but the Prince of England gave him a dagger with sharpened iron like clay, and the gems inlaid on the dagger were very beautiful, and the pattern was also exotic. The gift to the princess was two pairs of armor with eight-colored crystal grains inlaid with gold rhombus flowers. The princess was born in a noble family, and she naturally likes things that the Great Liang Dynasty did not have, and such exquisite jewelry.

In the future, the in-laws Li Lun's family, you have to pay attention to it, the Li family is the imperial history, and it is also the road of the clear stream, so what you bring is mostly the literati's calligraphy, painting and calligraphy, Mrs. Li is the future in-law, and the pearl chose a set of mutton fat hosta with four patterns of Meilan, bamboo and chrysanthemum. I added a pair of jade pendants of mutton fat jade, and a pair of ice jade.

At home, Pearl has already placed all the things sent from Zhuangzi, and will send them out in a few days, and after that, Pearl has time, prepared some gifts for the family, and took Qin Min back to her parents' house together.

The Liu family had already started to prepare, knowing that Pearl was back today, Jade was with the child, and Coral was already waiting at home.

Before going out today, the mother and daughter packed up, and Pearl took Qin Min to greet the old lady, and by the way, she was going back to her parents' house today. As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I saw the old lady wearing a big cloak standing under the porch to punish the next person.

"Tell me honestly, who took it?"

A group of subordinates kneeling in the courtyard all buckled their heads and begged for mercy, saying that it was not themselves, Wang got up this morning, saw that there was blood outside, and on a whim, he wanted to wear the coral gilt dot cui hairpin, but the subordinates said that they couldn't find it. Now seeing Liu with Qin Min and a large group of servants coming over behind him, Wang's heart is very aggrieved, and now he sees that the coats on Liu and Qin Min are so luxurious.

Today, Pearl wears a purple mink cape, the same color mink warms her forehead, and a huge citrine is bound between her forehead, and the pearl of gold and precious stones can be seen on the exposed bun. At his feet he wore a pair of dark purple deerskin boots, which were decorated with gold chains with various colored gems and beads, as well as small diamonds.

Qin Min was wearing a red fox skin and a warm forehead on her head, but her warm forehead was decorated with white diamonds and pearl tassels. Diamonds make up the pattern of flowers, and pearls make pendants. In fact, it is a modern bridal necklace, which is placed on the head as a decoration.

Pearl saluted with Qin Min, Wang looked at them, and then said, "Come in!" Then he said to the outsiders, "Think it all through, you can't find it, and see how I punish you." ”

When he entered the house, he had to take off his cloak, revealing the clothes inside, Pearl wore a big red gown embroidered with yellow hibiscus flowers, a pleated skirt, a necklace with three strings of large, medium and small pearls on her chest, and a nine-turn exquisite bracelet with red gold ring beads on her hand, and a red gold opal pendant inlaid with jade. On the paper is a ruby ring and a ring with a pattern of small multicolored diamonds, and on the other hand there is a large gold flower ring, which is worn on the index finger.

And Qin Min was wearing a pink and blue colorful floral pattern satin jacket skirt. Around the neck is a ring of red gold filament encrusted with multi-colored gemstones. She had multi-colored tourmaline beads on her hands, the beads were not big, she carried five strings with one hand, and the other hand was the same, but it was also very good, and the rings of small animals, all made of broken diamonds.

"Where are you going?"

"Old lady, I'm going to take the eldest lady to my mother's house, so that the eldest lady can recognize the door and get acquainted with my family." Pearl replied calmly,

Wang Shi became angry when he heard this, and said, "My yard is making a lot of noise, do you still have the heart to go out?" ”

"The old lady's yard, the old lady's people, I also want to discipline it, but didn't you say that I don't want to interfere in the affairs of your yard? Why do you question me now? ”

Wang Shi was speechless angrily, and said, "Usually you don't see it, forget it, but now that something happened, you just saw it, and you didn't even have words?" ”

"You lost the hairpin, what's the big deal? The lord has honored you a lot of jewelry, and you are not short of this one, not to mention, who is in charge of things, and naturally asks who wants it. A hairpin interrupted my trip with the eldest lady and made my mother's family wait for us, which didn't seem to be good. If the old lady is angry, you can! I'll give them to me, and I'll give you a replacement right away. ”

"Humph! Less, not with you. However, when you go back to your parents' house, why do you take Min'er with you, you are not her mother-in-law, Qin Min is a concubine, and you still need to go to your house? ”

Pearl frowned, if Liu Zi and Qingfeng saw it, they were afraid that they would be frightened and immediately knelt down, Pearl said, "I am her mother, the existence of the first lady, no one can erase it, but as the eldest daughter, you can't treat your stepmother as a concubine or a girl, right?" I can't talk about the situation of the Chinese people, old lady, if you don't understand this matter, I will ask a few grandmothers in the palace to tell you about it, and when the time comes, you will know the powerful relationship between it. ”

"Bold, do you want to make rules for me?" Wang slapped the table,

Pearl was not stage frightened, and said, "I am a dignified lady, the wife of the Qin family, and it is natural to take care of and discipline my daughter, and my Liu family is not comparable to those concubines." The step-room is a wife, not a concubine. You'd better think about it carefully and ask carefully, if I don't care about Qin Min and just let her grow up smoothly, even if she completes the task, that's okay, but our Qin family, my lord, the requirements for the eldest lady are not like this, she not only has to learn poetry and book etiquette, but also go out to see the world. We should also go, if the old lady still doesn't figure things out before we come back, you won't let me take over when the time comes, and it won't be done, there is a thief in the house, don't ignore it. After speaking, he said to Qin Min,

"Min'er, it's time for us to go."

The two of them greeted Wang Shi together, then put on their cloaks and left, taking gifts for their mother's family and setting off. This time, Pearl brought two carriages to his family, which not only brought a large box of American ginseng, ginseng, deer antler, cordyceps, astragalus, etc., but also brought medicines such as Nourishing Jingdan. There are also various bird's nests, white bird's nests, golden blood bird's nests, shark fins, sea cucumbers, seahorses, ejiao, deer placenta paste and other supplements. Of course, all kinds of precious silk brocades, clothes for the people at home, and good furs have been prepared, and it is okay to wear them yourself or give them away, because when you make clothes for your family, there is a lot of clothing left, a piece of cloth, you can make five or six sets of clothes, and your family can wear them, and the rest can be embroidered with different patterns. The mother's clothes are for the elderly, parents, elders, and younger siblings, so they can all be used. The rest are cosmetics, jewelry, precious ornaments and other things, because these things, the two younger brothers used when they got married, the most important thing is books, calligraphy, and two small grandfather clocks were sent to the family. In private, I also got a lot of good things from Zhuangzi, and the things on the surface are not out of line, which is also afraid that some people will look unpleasant.

"Mother, my mother's side ......" Qin Min was a little embarrassed, her mother was in the main room, and her stepmother was going to be a concubine in front of the main room, and when she mentioned her biological mother, she was always used by people with intentions and became an excuse to hit her stepmother, but now that she is back, how should she treat her grandmother's house? (To be continued.) )
