Chapter 326: Crisis
Pearl thought about it, this jewelry and cosmetics to please the other party's female relatives were originally meant to express the hostess's thoughts, but if it was given to the Gu family, it was a little difficult to do. As a step-room, what do you do to please the original partner's mother's family? It's already good to be able to go in person, thinking of this, he said to Qin Min,
"This gift gives a set, which represents the hostess's mind and attention. When I arrived at the ancient family, my status was embarrassing, if I sent a set to the past, how many other rooms would I send? This thing is expensive, if the ancient family got this complete set of cosmetics, what would the nobles in the palace and the wives of other families think? I'll take you to the Gu family, and everything else is easy to say, but these cosmetics and jewelry can't be from my mother. If you want to send jewelry and fabrics, you must send them, but they can't be from my Zhuangzi, do you understand? ”
"Understood." Qin Min also knew that the Gu family had no status now, and grandma and grandpa were not powerful, if they really gave this precious thing, they would offend a group of people. Qin Min was so disappointed that his little face drooped.
Pearl smiled and said, "I can't send it, but you can send it, just say that you want it from me, ask for some wrinkle and freckle cream for your grandma, it's okay to ask for some lipstick and foundation, as for perfume, then don't worry, don't you have a lot of small bottles?" It was given as a gift between your little sisters, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation, so naturally it has nothing to do with it. ”
Hearing Pearl say this, Qin Min became happy, and soon, when he arrived at Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, a group of people came to the door to greet him, and Pearl asked everyone to get up, and the steward talked back and forth. Then he took Qin Min and a group of subordinates. Arrived at the main hall. The stove in the hall was burning very strongly, Pearl and Qin Min took off their cloaks and warm foreheads, handed over the hand stove to the next person, and then sat down, Qin Min sat next to the pearl, and soon, the next person brought the tea water, the jasmine tea was on it, and the red date tea was on Qin Min.
After that, the stewards talked back and forth, and there were stewards in the greenhouse. There were also several stewards of the treasury. There were also a few stewards from Zhuozhou, Pearl asked them all to come to see the eldest lady, Qin Min straightened his waist and waited for everyone to salute. Shouted. The stewards are human spirits. Knowing that Pearl intended to promote the eldest lady, he immediately offered a bunch of gifts, including a flower crown at the jewelry store and fresh corn from the grain store. The textile mill offered a small finch fur made of feathers, and a few very beautiful sweaters and shawls. The caravan also sent a music box and a small table clock, as well as a beautiful small jewelry box. The box is beautiful and has inlaid gemstones and pearls on it. There are also dried fruits from the South Seas. There are also models of boats, jade toys, good-looking head flowers, earrings, necklaces and other things.
Qin Min thought about Mama's teachings and said, "You guys bothered, I know everything." ”
"Don't dare, if you have any orders in the future, the eldest lady will give you an order."
Qin Min tightened his little face and said, "You have a heart." I know. ”
After that, Pearl first asked people to settle down the antique bronzes and porcelains they brought, and let these people put their things in a spacious room, and Pearl was about to start going to the warehouse to check the accounts, so let people take Qin Min to pick flowers first, and go to check the things brought by the warehouse and Zhuozhou and the caravan by themselves.
After more than a year, pearls have to pick a good pick this time, pearls have a hand book, a skirt in the other, directly into the warehouse where the jewelry is placed, this year, Zhuozhou over there jewelry workshop is the highest output of the year, can be a leap, not only have their own machine cutting and processing out of gems, diamonds and jade, etc., as well as pearls from the space to take out of the inventory bought from modern times and their own processing of gems, diamonds.
In fact, there are more types of gemstones taken out of pearls, the pigeon's blood red gemstone and Kashmir sapphire are the best in the pearl view, but in the eyes of the Liang people, they can't distinguish the difference from other gemstones, aquamarine is rarely used in the beam, opal stone and colorful jade have never been seen, the green pearl, black pearl is even rarer, even if there is, they are not round enough, or the luster is not good enough. So the pearl gave them many gemstones that the girders did not have, such as blue amber, emerald, blue moonstone, purple dragon crystal, and so on. Of course, the most out is all kinds of pearls, there are sizes, not only round, but also drop-shaped, oval, the smallest is only the size of a grain of rice, the big one is as big as a dragon's eye, and there are many colors, the pearls that were sent to make jewelry at the beginning, as small as a grain of rice, there are more than a dozen boxes, as well as small multi-colored crystals and gems from modern times, as well as colored broken diamonds. There are a lot of gemstones and diamonds used in this type of matching, and with these, jewelry looks good. There are more than a dozen boxes of pearls about the size of soybeans, the big ones are the size of longan, and there are all kinds of colors, even gold, and many green, blue and red.
In addition, there are opals, ammolite and rose and blue topaz, which is not available in today's Liang Dynasty, in modern times, this ammolite can be a lot, pearls make people wipe the forehead, make rings, earrings and hairpins. Bracelets are also available, because their colors are too bright, and it is not easy to make a set. Colorful jade is even better, it is all from modern times, there are vases, ornaments and bracelets, necklaces, very beautiful, the color is extremely gorgeous. Opal stone is even more so, the color is gorgeous, and it is even more beautiful.
Nearly half of the jewelry included in the space, jade and jade furnishings, flower inserts, interstitial screens, as well as jade pendants, jade pendants, jade belts, jade belt hooks, handles, etc., have been collected. The rest of the ones were picked out for the mother's family and the two sisters' families, and put aside separately, and the others were intended to be given as gifts, and the ones brought back were sent back to the Zhuangzi in Zhuozhou for them to reprocess. The fabric was also chosen, and this time the fabric was very satisfying to the pearl, and Qin Min was given a small roll of the finch, and she also had ten large rolls here, with bright colors and exquisite ornamentation. Not to mention other fabrics, the color is positive, will not fade and fade, with patterns, bright colors, patterns or delicate or beautiful, are not comparable to the fabrics on the market.
There was a lot of cloth sent this time, and the pearls picked a large number of them and smuggled them into their own space, and eliminated a batch of those that they couldn't look up to now from the space, and then sent some to the warehouse, and the rest were taken away, and the ones that were missing, and the people only put them in the secret room as pearls.
There are two warehouses for furs, which are well cared for and dyed mink, otter skin, and fox skins sent from Zhuozhou, and there are two fur warehouses, which are all full, and the pearl picks out a carriage. There are a lot of tongkat ali sent from Nanyang, and there are also a lot of precious wood such as red sandalwood, which are all put away. The pearl is made into medicine carefully, and there must be no mistakes. This time, I also sent a lot of tin tea barrels, all of which were patterns and styles ordered by pearls from merchants in the South Seas to hold tea. There are both large and small barrels, as well as gem-encrusted and gilded ones. There are also many souvenirs, medicinal herbs, and supplements that come over there.
The best bird's nest in the space now has thousands of catties, venison, ginseng, astragalus, ganoderma lucidum and cordyceps sinensis and so on, this time there is no need to take ginseng from Zhuangzi, because from the northeast side have been brought, there are many American ginseng, completely enough, but this time the Nanyang side sent more than 500 catties of white swallow and snow goose bird's nest is really enough, pearls are afraid of being broken, all brought, and more than 600 catties of the best shark fin. In terms of medicinal materials, there are also some high-quality medicinal materials such as deer placenta ointment, ejiao, bezoar, astragalus, gastrodia, etc., which are also available this time, and the pearls are taken away directly, and there are not many of them sent out, but the pearls see that the quality of this batch of medicinal materials is good, so they plan to stay, and if they give it away, they will take it from the batch of drugs they brought, and besides, she has thousands of miles of chasing wind oil and nourishing essence pills, and giving gifts is not a problem.
New Year's gifts such as jewelry and fabrics for the mother's family are sent directly to the mother's family from the Zhuangzi. Before the Chinese New Year, the parents also wanted to give the two younger sisters' family gifts in return. The two of them have no shortage of antique porcelain, but they lack gold and silver jewelry, rare ornaments, and good silk brocade! There are also tonics and medicinal herbs, which are as easy as eating rice here in Pearl, but for the mother's family, they are rare things.
Pearl also got some daggers and knives, and Pearl took the opportunity to take out some weapons and armor, which was not made directly from the Golden Snake Armor, but from the remaining materials. This time, the transmitter was created again, this is the most happy thing for pearls, Qin Hui has long coveted her. It's been so long now, but it's been made. For Qin Hui, this is equivalent to making another great contribution to the imperial court!
When I go back, Pearl wants to let the embroidery girl bring to make those furs into cloaks or cloaks, as well as shawls, warm sleeves, etc., because several families think that the boots they gave Pearl in previous years are good, but unfortunately they are old, and they want to ask for a few pairs with Pearl this year. When the children in the family grow up, they must also prepare, Qin Min is the eldest lady, and when she goes out to meet guests, she must not wear the same clothes and boots, so this time the craftsmen of Zhuozhou Zhuangzi also came, making dyed deerskin and sheepskin to make some boots and shoes, and there must be decoration, which can be made by the jewelry craftsmen who came with her, and the materials are also available, and the pearls have been left for them.
After the busy, the goods had already set off first, Pearl was busy asking Qin Min what he was doing, Mingyue said with a smile, "The slave maid just went to see it, the eldest lady was happy in the greenhouse, and forgot about the things that the lady told me to choose flowers, it was good to look at this or that." Later, I went to the vegetable and fruit shed and picked a lot of delicious food. ”
Pearl smiled, planning to choose flowers by herself, at this time, a subordinate ran over, walked to Chunguang's side and said a few words, and then Chunguang sent her away, Chunguang came over and said to Pearl, "Madam, the people in the house came to report, saying that the third master is back, and also brought her concubine Wang and a new concubine Gu. That Wang is pregnant, and now it has been seven months, and the Gu family is also good-looking, and the third lady is very unhappy. What's more, the old lady's biological son Qin Yang came back with his wife and three sons. There is also a young lady. There were ten servants waiting, and the third lady arranged a courtyard. The third lady said that let you go back as soon as possible, she was at her mercy. ”
Pearl also felt bad when she heard the news, she just learned that the master is not the bloodline of the Qin family, and the real son of the Wang family is back, which is very dangerous for their husband and wife, very dangerous! (To be continued.) )
