Pearl had been to see her three sons in the morning, and sure enough, they were all smart, and Pearl had dinner with them, played with them for a while, and then left. It's really reluctant, Kong watched from the side, and also said some interesting things to Pearl, Pearl is very happy, three children, no matter how rare it is, it's not enough, and they are going to be busy with things, so they are a little reluctant to go. Alas! Hopefully, after this battle, they can stop for a while.

I haven't seen her for more than a month, the three children have grown up a lot, and the Kong family seems to be very dedicated, Pearl praised it with a smile, and gave herself a thank you gift for her and Qin Deying. There is the most popular brocade in the capital, and also sent a piece of emerald brocade, of course, also sent two sets of jewelry, not on their own Zhuangzi, but by others, red gold dot emerald inlaid jewelry, not light.

After that, Pearl went to look at the jade, and then went to the warehouse and secret room, and collected the jewelry and jade carvings, brocades and antiques that had been left for her for so long into the space, which was considered satisfied, and the fabrics, clothes, belts, leather boots and cosmetics in the space ready to be sold to the West, hair dyeing, perm products and tools, as well as slimming, bras and lace ** series were all installed. It's in the warehouse.

It didn't take long for someone to report that their boat had arrived, and that there were two big boats when they went, and two more when they left, but the equipment was a little worse. But the people who came said that in addition to their four large ships, there were four more, and Pearl knew that when the ship arrived, it was about to be unloaded, and told the steward to send someone to help, and then he was still busy with his own business. The matter at the dock can't be finished for a while, and Liu Huang and they can't take time out to report it so quickly. Pearl went to see the situation of the medicine again, and saw that the medicine in the warehouse was piled up, and she felt a lot more relieved, and the production date was still on the medicine, which was not bad. Because they bought rubber from Nanyang, they can only use this drip pot made of glass and bottles for medicine, the large one contains salt water and glucose water, and the small one puts powdered medicine.

Survived this morning. There was an unexpected gain. The people of the jewelry factory sent more than a dozen exquisite jewelry boxes and boxes, and opened them one by one in front of the pearl, and the pearl took a look. Wow. What does this mean? It's all phoenix hairpins. There is also a phoenix crown, and the phoenix hairpin has a red gold silk big phoenix hairpin, so big. There are two palms the size of the hand, the eyes of the golden phoenix are obsidian, the mouth is holding a string of ruby tassels, the wings of the unfolded phoenix are all woven of gold silk, there are many small gems inlaid on it, and the phoenix tail at the back is even more beautiful, full of gems, colorful. The phoenix crown is also out of line, the pearls on the top have several colors, the big ones are as big as the dragon's eye, the small ones are like rice grains, there are red, there are white, green, yellow, purple, the ruby on the golden phoenix is also big enough to be red enough to shine, the phoenix crown twice hangs down the four rows of bead tassels, all made of crystal.

Other phoenix hairpins, there are jade carvings, precious stones, and diamonds and chrysoberyls, there is a large gold bead on the phoenix crown, which is the size of a pigeon's egg, which is definitely not given by pearls, and silver phoenix, phoenix-shaped hairpin bait, necklace. Small hairpins. The big red gold phoenix is pressed. Counted, there are twelve phoenix hairpins worn in the middle of the bun alone. There are 20 partial phoenixes, and there are 3 boxes and more than 30 small phoenixes.

"What is this for? How did you make so many phoenix hairpins? ”

The steward smiled and said to the pearl, "Back to the master, this is the master's order, and the gold and silver, as well as all kinds of gems, jade, and emerald feathers have been sent, let us make the phoenix hairpin, saying that your phoenix hairpin has been lost." It's all because I accidentally fell it when I saved the eldest lady. ”

Pearl just didn't know how to tell Qin Hui at the time, so she said casually, Feng Hai fell off, and he also wanted to explain that his hair was scattered, and he didn't look good in front of the emperor and his ministers, who would have thought that Qin Hui would use such a method to compensate for himself, it was really ...... No wonder everyone gave her a golden phoenix! The thank you gifts sent are all this, and some of them are newly hit at a glance, and she is not so persistent about Jin Fengchai! She really wanted to say that everyone had misunderstood. However, it is also because of pearls that it has become fashionable for women in the Liang Dynasty to fall in love with the golden phoenix hairpin, and every woman must have at least one piece of jewelry with a phoenix pattern.

"Okay, I know, well done, all good, I like it. Breeze, tip. Pearl said with a smile,

"Yes!"

Pearls let the girls pick out a few things to wear these days, and the rest should be put separately, don't lose them, and mix them with other jewelry. The girl next to her knew that the master had made it for his wife, so of course she agreed with a smile.

When it was time to eat at noon, the whole family gathered together, and the three boys also had a bowl in front of each of them, saying that it was eating, which was more like a game, but fortunately, there was a nurse behind him to help, so as not to affect others too much, Pearl looked at his sons, his face was very gentle, and he would not be angry at all because of their play. Qin Deying and his wife, Qin Dezhang and Qin Min were all present.

"We started the war this time, and we can't help anything else, but there is one thing, the eldest young master can help."

Qin Deying waited for Pearl to say this! Immediately said, "Mother, please speak." ”

"There was a war in front, but after the war, it was necessary to collect the remains of soldiers, place wounded soldiers to recuperate, and treat them, and it would take manpower and material resources, and people could recruit them from the people, and it would be easy to talk about the houses, the coffins used, the cloth used to wrap the corpses, and the medicines used to treat the wounded. Specifically, I wrote a plan, when you go back, take it over and take a look, and then talk to the master, find two capable people to be your helpers, and ask Sun San for the missing things, and I will let him go to you. I will ask Sun San to bring the silver I need, and if it is not enough, I will go directly to Zhuangzi to get it, write an IOU, and add this seal. After speaking, Pearl asked Liu Zi beside her to send a special seal to Qin Deying,

"Thank you mother, I will do it well."

"Pay more attention to your body."

"Yes, thank you mother for your concern." Qin Deying said, looking at the seal in his hand, he was shocked, this seal was made of bloodstone, and the words engraved on the seal were not recognized, but thinking about it, there must be a reason for this, so he didn't ask much.

Pearl said to Kong again. "Grandma, you three little uncles, I still have to take care of you more."

"What my mother said, it is also my blessing to be able to take care of my brother-in-law." Kong hurriedly said, this mother-in-law has given her mother's face enough, not to mention the generous gifts given to her mother's family, those who have a relationship with her family in the palace also follow her to get clean, and the clansmen are very grateful to her parents. The New Year's gift from the stepmother is very rich and thoughtful. If you are not a person with a good relationship, you can't get the essence pill and American ginseng, let alone cosmetics, and even the favored concubines in the palace want it. Neither. It can be seen that the stepmother values her. Of course, she can't do anything that can repay the favor,

Pearl said with a smile. "I will be very busy in the next few days, and I will have to let you watch the food and daily life of my three children, and I can't leave behind the things of reading and listening to music."

"Mother is relieved, I know." Kong confidently agreed.

Pearl turned her head to Qin Min again and said, "Miss, now that I'm very busy outside the house, Miss. Not only does Miss have to study by herself, but if she encounters something inconsiderate, she will stretch out her hand when she sees it, if you can't go to your sister-in-law, my mother will be very busy recently." ”

"Mother, don't worry."

The names of the two people have changed, and everyone is surprised, but everyone also understands that this grace of saving the people is equal to the grace of regeneration, and it is natural to call them mothers!

In the afternoon, Pearl received a letter from Qin Hui, first greeting Pearl about her physical condition, and then saying that now that the war is expanding, several large tribes on the grassland have joined forces, although now they have divided their troops to attack the pass of Daliang, but they are afraid that they will be together. Firearms have played a great role, but now there is no loss, but the fire-carrying arrows fired into the city by the other side have set fire to many houses, injured many people, and some villages and towns have also been affected, and the losses are not small. In the letter, Qin Hui asked Pearl to prepare the medicinal materials he needed. There are a few other things that may be used.

Pearl can imagine that Qin Hui must be in a hurry, and when it came to the evening, Liu Huang and Fei Tang came, bringing the account book this time, and since the afternoon, there has been a steady stream of boxes brought in, and the boxes marked with A, B, C, D, and D have been put in the warehouse according to the classification, among which the boxes of class A and class B are the most and the heaviest, and these two have a total of two warehouses. There are also boxes of class C, which are also quite numerous, and they are put in a warehouse and a half. The rest of the D-boxes were so large that it took eight people to carry them in. After that, there were other categories of boxes, which were also put away. The warehouse has been prepared a lot, but I didn't expect that there are so many things to bring, so I vacated four warehouses for jade, anyway, these jade are very big, and others can't move out.

Liu Huang sent the account book, this time, the pearls were sold in his own garden and factory, the gems and clothes sold were also from modern times, only some embroidery was bought, half of the tea was produced in his own Zhuangzi, and the other part was purchased. Estimate the cost, there are 2.1 million taels of silver, because jewelry is the most expensive. Brocade is not much cheaper than those jewelry. With the addition of cosmetics, drugs, etc., this price is already overestimated. But this time, Liu Huang brought back 84 tons of gold, which was 1.68 million taels of gold. 204 tons of silver, or 4.08 million taels of silver.

The best pearls, pearls according to the diameter of the pearl, flawless round beads, more than 12 cm in four boxes.

First-class pearls, perfect round and flawless, with a diameter of about ten centimeters, with 10 large boxes,

Second-class pearls, perfectly round and immaculate, less than ten centimeters and more than seven centimeters, with 87 boxes,

Third-class pearls, over seven centimeters, have 207 boxes.

Oval pearls are also classified, including a large number of black pearls, and there are also those that are not so round in shape, so that there is no classification, and they are directly counted as fourth-class, containing 401 boxes, among which there are also large pearls, the size of pigeon eggs, and the pearl is very good, there are twelve of them, three of them are white, four are milky white, three are golden, and there are one red and one green. In this way, there are many large pearls in the pearl space.

There are a lot of diamonds brought back this time, the largest is the size of a fist, there are many diamonds such as five-color, white, green, red, pink, yellow, etc., the big ones are not many, the pigeon's egg size accounts for eighty percent, and the rest are the size of soybeans. There are also chrysoberyls, emeralds, Kashmir sapphires, pigeon's blood rubies, color-changing topas, and opals of various colors. Coral and amber, beeswax, ivory and rhino horn, and many spices. There are many medicinal herbs such as frankincense, myrrh, benzoin, agarwood, sandalwood, and American ginseng. There are also many treasures and gold and silver objects of the Western court. In addition to this, there is a boatload of cotton that pearls want.

Liu Huang and them, the things they sell are all luxury goods, and of course they make a lot of money. Pearl told them to rest for a few months, and then they would have to set off with more boats. By that time, there were more ships to bring, and there were other people's cargo! This time Liu Huang did a good job, he specially left someone there, and there was still a batch of goods that were not sold! There is a telegraph in Shuri, so they can get in touch.

This time, Liu Huang and the others brought back gold and silver, some of which were obtained by selling goods, and some of which were earned by force, but they were black and black, and some people were brutally plundered from Africa, and Liu Huang and they robbed each other halfway, and there was a corpse destruction trace, which blew up the ship.
