Pearl said to the concubine again, "My family is busy hoarding grain and grass, and busy hoarding medicinal materials, I also got a good way to treat injuries from foreigners, good medicine, unfortunately, this takes time, but also needs specialized talents, I train these people in my own Zhuangzi, I am also studying myself, if there is really a day when there is a war, the mourning is all over the wilderness, the Zhuang family is barren, lonely and weak, short-legged, missing arms, dead without corpses, chest and abdomen are poked into a big blood hole...... My lord and I have the same thoughts, just to make the soldiers die less, and do our best to protect the pass city, prevent Yidi from entering the country, and avoid the lives of the people. If this is said by others, such as those courtiers, it sounds like it is always a little less true, only if you have really seen it and experienced such misery, can you really understand that being an ordinary person, even if you are a court official, but what you can do is still too little. The 200,000 taels, I didn't plan to ask the lord for it, the lord never refused other people's gifts, but he sold it, and now he is sent to the palace to give favors to the ministers in the court, which one is not my dowry? Hehe......"

Concubine Lin's heart was very heavy when she heard this, and the man in bright yellow clothes hidden in the side room heard a lot of tastes.

When Pearl returned home, she received a message from the old monk Hui Ke, saying that she was going to hold a wine tasting banquet, and that she would be invited to participate in it at that time, and that she must bring the best wine, and if she won, she could get the right of permanent residence in their temple. There is really nothing to fight for in the permanent residency of Pearl, but Mama Liu is very happy. Say to the pearls,

"Madame, don't underestimate this permanent right of residence, which means that the private room will be yours to use, you can live as long as you want, you can eat the best vegetarian food there, and you can also let your relatives and friends live. The most important thing is that this is the place where all the princes and nobles and ladies in the capital go to incense, and even the queen mother and queen go at least once a year. There is also a secret that is not enough for outsiders to tell, that is, the private room of Huangjue Temple. It will not be caught by any officials of the imperial court. The place where the sergeant and the attendant and others searched and arrested can be said to be a safe house. ”

That's good! Although pearls are not afraid of anything, it is always good to have a back road. Thinking of this, I agreed. These days. Pearls are busy. It's not about going to every house to give gifts. is to go to the palace to see the situation of the seventh prince, it seems that the life of the concubine is really not very good, and the food for the seventh prince is not exquisite. It's not as good as their family's Qin Min! Fortunately, there is a small kitchen, since the pearl came, it has been used, and each time it brings a lot of snacks, enough for the mother to eat for two or three days, and the bird's nest, cordyceps, frog oil and royal jelly sent last time have long been eaten. I heard that someone came to ask Jia Concubine for the fabrics and jewelry given by the pearl, and the seventh prince became angry this time and said that he would not let anyone give him. Pearl enters the palace every two days, and will bring a lot of things, sometimes jewelry, cloth, even Cui Mao Jin and Crane Aya have given three horses each, and now the original outside is gone. Pearl means that this thing is used as a gift at a critical time, and it can still make Jia Concubine's mother and son do favors. The seventh prince also brought a few winter clothes, a mantle and cloak of mink, and four fox skins, and now the people in the palace have compared them, that is, the skins offered by the outsiders, none of them can compare with the Qin family. There is no way, the caravan of pearls is powerful on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is the craftsmanship of making leather, pearls have technology here, there are formulas, they can make the fur soft and shiny, and they can also be dyed, of course they can't compare, such as the lake blue cloak that Pearl gave to Jia Concubine later, I don't know how many people are envious.

Now the Seventh Prince's body is completely healed, but Pearl insisted, the first time he got this disease, he had to go to the root, otherwise there would be endless troubles. Jia Concubine also saw that Pearl was really a skilled doctor, of course she was obedient, the medicine that the seventh prince took was a modern powder or medicine, and he swallowed it at once, and it did not affect his appetite, and Pearl also told him stories, taught him to write, read calligraphy and painting, and taught him music and rhythm. The story told is more like a reminder of him.

The pearl brings a lot of bird's nest, japonica and annatto rice and a variety of dried fruits, as well as fresh vegetables and strawberries. Pearl also taught the Seven Princes pinyin, and then sent many books with pinyin. Later, when the seventh prince's illness was cured, there were very few pearls, and in the letter from Jia Concubine to her mother's family, she praised the pearls a lot, and similarly, Kong's family was also grateful to the pearls, and she was even more attentive to taking care of the three young uncles.

Recently, the court has been in full swing, and Pearl is not idle, either to Huangjue Temple to find ordinary noble drinking friends to complain, or with some ladies and ladies to their own yard or other people's yard to enjoy the flowers, by the way, talk about the cold in the northeast, talk about how brave and pitiful those soldiers are on the battlefield, because of insufficient armament, less clothing, I don't know how many people's ears and noses have been frozen. I don't know how many of them died because they were frozen, but there was no medicine, so they died like this. He also said how terrible those Yidi were, how terrible they were to burn and kill, and how terrible they were. Of course, it was also said that if they didn't come to grab the girders, they would starve to death. Inconstancy. But no matter what the reason, no one is stupid enough to let Yidi enter the hinterland of Daliang, not to mention the loss of all the granges and pastures of these magnates outside, it may make the lives of their relatives in their hometown unsafe, you must know that on the way to escape, but no matter whether it is expensive or cheap, there is no real steamed bun in gold, not to mention, those Yidi's abilities, if there is no army in front of them, Yidi's army can change the scolding or not change people, and they can get to the capital in ten days. In this way, one to ten, ten to hundred. Gradually, Qin Hui felt that the pressure on the court had eased a lot.

This day is finally fine, Pearl went to the treasury to check, when he first came, it was full, and gave Yue's a lot of things, some of which were missing, but soon they were insufficient. By the time I officially started giving gifts, the treasury was almost empty. But now the treasury is full again, because if you give gifts to people, whether you want to befriend you or not, they will give you a gift in return, and if there is an intersection, the gift will be aggravated, and if you don't want to be befriended again, the gift will also be aggravated. Of course, no one has the intention of drawing a line between such things and the current situation.

Soon, before the imperial court sealed the pen, there was finally a final result, the emperor himself said in the main hall, considering that Qin Hui was in the four northeastern provinces to protect the territory and the people, it was indeed very effective, and there may be war at the border pass, so Qin Hui's series of policies everyone looked at well, and now it is feasible to continue, and it will be promoted one after another. The thorough development of the Zhuozhou wharf should be done slowly, and this time the horse Feng Quan was sent to supervise it, and a large dock for the construction of ships was to be opened near Zhuozhou, and the tax of the Zhuozhou wharf should be paid out of the tax. Qin Hui worked hard and made great achievements, and he was given the title of viscount, which was finalized.

It's good now, the whole family can rest, during this time, the Yue family has helped them a lot, Qin Wang is the same, for the sake of his eldest brother's affairs, open up and down the relationship, and socialize with people, although the gifts are all made of pearls, but pearls value his brotherhood more, they are brothers, they are related, and the blessings and misfortunes are predicted, and now it is impossible to have a crack because of the so-called bloodline, even if it is really confirmed that Qin Hui has nothing to do with their family, whether it is the second master Qin Ming or the third master Qin Wang, will only recognize Qin Hui, the eldest brother, but Qin Yang, the headache-in-law brother-in-law, which makes them scratch their heads very much. Fortunately, Pearl's method still worked, Qin Yang's family was escorted back to their hometown, and the clan elders repeatedly promised that they would take good care of the family and not let them do something embarrassing. Pearl was very happy and gave another 10,000 taels of silver and many gifts, including ordinary essence pills and various tonic medicinal materials for these clan elders, and even bought a lot of books for them to take back to study for the children of the clan. And in the future, the silver will be sent back every year, if someone can win the show, then Qin Hui will take over the future of the future, even the rest of the Qin family, and ask the clan elders to make more plans, after all, they are all a family.

With such an attitude, naturally no one would listen to the old lady say that the eldest son was not the Qin family, and they all felt that this old lady was a demon. Even Qin Wang told the Yue family that he would take good care of the old lady in the future. Now Qin Wang is very close to the Yue family, with the eldest brother and sister-in-law and the husband and wife are concentric, and there are examples of each other's love, there are sisters-in-law who send food and clothing for three days, as well as antique jade, etc., rouge gouache, it is a box on the left, a box on the right, the fat powder inside is really a good thing, no wonder the two favorite concubines in the palace personally asked their mother's family to come to the door. Yue's makeup is painted, either beautiful, or glamorous, or well-mannered, or heroic, and the fragrance on his body is even more intoxicating. Now Qin Wang rarely goes to the two concubines.

Yue's has had an unprecedentedly busy year, not only helping the pearl housekeeper, but also helping to receive gifts and entertain guests, of course, she also has no shortage of good things, now even if it is a gift from their relatives and friends in the third room, the pearl has been prepared for her in advance, so that Yue's sigh that he has been a housekeeper for so many years, and he is still not as thoughtful as a girl who is younger than her sister-in-law.

Pearls not only gave her a lot of jewelry and precious fabrics, furs, and jade treasures, but more importantly, gave her self-confidence, gave her dignity, and gave her connections. In the words of the sister-in-law, a woman in her thirties is the most flowering time in a woman's life, but it is also from this time onwards, it is going to go downhill, so you must be careful about maintenance, now Yue's is very concerned about maintenance every day, eating bird's nest, honey, and often eating those medicinal recipes left by pearls, using cosmetics on the face, even the figure is also paid attention to, doing yoga, pushing essential oils on the body, she is really energetic now, sunshine every day, and she is not so panicked when she sees the two concubines. With his own outfit and exquisite makeup, he can compare and look at it, and everyone can compare it to each other. Besides, he has a good temperament and excellent demeanor, which is what the sister-in-law said, and he didn't care about them to reduce his status. However, the matter of bird's nest really can't be let go, even if she can't follow her husband to take office in the future, but the person in charge of the back house must be replaced, and the sister-in-law promised to find a good grandmother for her to manage, so she didn't believe it, and when the concubine dared to call herself a lady outside, she presided over the back house, and turned the sky upside down!
