Chapter 596: Lotus Glazed Bowl
Li Dabao smiled and waved his hand, "No, I saw Miss Qi on the street and was worried that something would happen, so I followed." Fortunately, everything is safe, and I will go home with you. ”
"Oh, cousin, then I'll go back first today, my mother made me something to eat today." Li Rong smiled and waved to Qi Shuyuan.
It will take more than an hour to go back from the Jinling Marquis Mansion, which is quite far.
"Walk slowly on that road and stay safe." Qi Shuyuan confessed, watched them get into the carriage, and then took Shen Yunyun home.
Sitting in the carriage, Li Rong looked her eldest brother up and down, her eyes showing curiosity.
"Big brother, have you been with my cousin all afternoon today?"
Qi Dabao nodded, his face was slightly red, "It's not accompanied, it's not appropriate for the girl's house to go in and out of a place like the yamen." When I saw it, I couldn't help but help, all of them were my own relatives. ”
"Oh!" Li Rong's big eyes were shining, and she was embarrassed, "I thought my eldest brother liked my cousin, so he sent it over!" ”
When Li Dabao heard this, he blushed and patted his sister's head, showing anger in his eyes.
"What are you talking nonsense, you girl!"
"I told you that this is my own relative. See, I can't help but help. ”
"If it were someone else, I wouldn't be nosy. But seeing that child, who is similar to Anan, being abducted, I feel very uncomfortable. ”
"I thought of you when you were a child, and so did your cousin, and I would rather do something wrong than miss this opportunity to save people."
"Fortunately, your cousin made the right bet and saved Shen Yunyun. Otherwise, such a young child would grow up so well, no one would save him, and his life would be over. ”
Li Rong put away the joke, "Big brother and cousin are both kind-hearted people!" ”
Li Dabao also nodded, "Miss Qi is a kind-hearted person. ”
The next day, Li Rong came to the boutique with her cousin and helped her cousin buy a beautiful glass tea cup at a 50% discount.
Because Qi Shuyuan knew that her mother liked lotus flowers, the tea cup she bought was a set of lotus-shaped glass cups.
Not only is the color very elegant turquoise, but the texture is very transparent.
It was the best-looking she'd ever seen.
Good things are also expensive, especially things like glass.
Most of them were circulated in the court, and many of them were transported from the Western Regions over there.
Over the years, the price of glass has remained high.
Even if Qi Shuyuan brought all her private money, it might not be enough.
Fortunately, her cousin and Li Dabao gave her a discount, otherwise she would only have 1,200 taels of silver, and she would not have been able to buy it at all.
Qi Shuyuan carefully put this set of tea cups away.
A larger teapot and eight teacups are placed in a specially made box and held firmly in the arms.
"Cousin, how can there be glass products in your house? Did you buy it from a merchant in the Western Regions? ”
Li Rong shook her head, quite proud.
"Cousin, I didn't buy it from merchants in the Western Regions, it was fired by my eldest brother himself."
Qi Shuyuan was stunned when she heard this, "Oh my God, such a beautiful glass was actually burned by your eldest brother?" ”
"Even those old craftsmen in the palace and the internal affairs office may not be able to fire such good glass."
Li Rong was quite proud, "Of course, that's because my eldest brother is very powerful, and he is good at learning things." ”
"He likes to think about such things, and last time my mother celebrated her birthday, my eldest brother also wanted to give something special."
"But the glass is very expensive, and my eldest brother doesn't have that much money in his hands, so he started researching."
"I didn't think it took more than a month, but he really studied it. Now a kiln factory has been set up to specialize in firing glaze. ”
"Now the glass fired by my eldest brother is better than the glass in the hands of those merchants in the Western Regions, and they still want to buy it from my eldest brother."
Hearing this, Qi Shuyuan's heart rippled.
This Li Dabao is really smart, no wonder his grandfather and grandmother have a very high opinion of him, and even his mother praised him in his heart.
"Our Qi family also has the glaze rewarded by the palace, but the production process and shape are not as good as those made by your eldest brother."
"I think this should be able to be a tribute, more valuable, and sought after by more people."
Li Rong nodded, "My mother has already sent someone to send me to the capital, and it is estimated that it will be listed as a tribute after a while." ”
"However, although this thing is complicated to fire and the number of finished products is not very large, it is finally fired by home."
"Just buy one set at home, don't buy too much, in case the quantity increases in the future, and the price drops."
Although Li Rong didn't know how much it was, from the conversation between her eldest brother and her mother, she could tell that the cost was not high.
However, this is a secret, even if the price is not high, with the royal mix, it can still harvest a large amount of wealth.
All this wealth is earned from the rich and does not endanger the livelihood of the common people, so the royal family must be willing to do this business.
These are not things that Li Rong can mix, so she won't tell Qi Shuyuan.
Qi Shuyuan nodded, "Even if I want to buy more, I don't have any silver in my hand." ”
"In order to buy a birthday gift for my mother, I spent all my private money."
"Fortunately, there won't be many places to spend money in the future, otherwise I would have to ask my grandmother for it."
Li Rong pursed her lips and smiled, "I have a lot of them here, give my cousin some pocket money." ”
Qi Shuyuan shook her head again and again, "No, in fact, it's not all spent, and there are still dozens of taels of broken silver left." ”
"If there is really a shortage of silver, I will tell my cousin, and I will not be polite to you."
Since her cousin said so, Li Rong was no longer reluctant.
"Then it's settled. By the way, what about that little girl? ”
Qi Shuyuan replied: "The people sent to Yangzhou by Governor Wu directly found Shen Million and learned that he was looking for his daughter everywhere in Yangzhou City. ”
"After Shen Million got the news, he immediately came to Jinling, and Yunyun recognized it as her father."
"Shen Million, gave me a large thank you gift and took my daughter away."
There was no silver in so many thank-you gifts, but some gold, stone and jade and the like.
It's expensive, but you can't sell it.
Li Rong sighed, "Yunyun is very lucky, this is when she meets her cousin, she can return home." ”
"Otherwise, there will be a big change in fate, and it may be because of good growth, low into the dust, and life like grass mustard."
Qi Shuyuan smiled slightly and touched her cousin's head.
"Now that I've met it, I think it's better to have more than less. I grew up with my grandmother, and I know that my grandmother has been depressed for so many years because of your disappearance, eating fasts and reciting Buddha, praying that you will be alive and safe. ”
"God seems to have heard my grandmother's prayers, and Cousin Ah Rong was rescued by Mrs. Drey and General Lee, so that she is today."
"I have a deeper understanding of how painful the loss of a family member can bring to a loved one."
"I heard Shen Million say that his wife was in a hurry because of her daughter's disappearance and fell ill."
"It was a frail and delicate lady. Losing this daughter is like taking her life. ”
Li Rong leaned on her cousin's shoulder, "Thank you, cousin, thank you grandmother and all my relatives!" ”
Between cousins, the relationship is becoming more and more harmonious and sincere.
