Chapter 303: A Letter Comes
The Yu family was imprisoned because of the third master, Yu Yan, and the court was cold, and there was no one to give gifts. From time to time, you can still hear the cries of women and children, and the whole Yu Mansion looks a little gloomy.
It was the third lady and Yu Yan's children and grandchildren who were crying. The original county keeper's wife, high and pampered, her husband was sentenced to behead after the autumn, and the careers of her children and grandchildren were all cut off, so how could she not be grief-stricken?
Mr. Ariya is a decisive and ruthless person. Yu Juan and the fourth prince's wedding is imminent, and the third daughter-in-law's family cries and cries all day long.
The Yu family can't afford any more changes!
Mr. Youya decided to send his third daughter-in-law and the children and grandchildren of his third son, except for Yu Juan, who had been recorded in the name of the eldest son, to Zhuangzi outside the city. Leave today.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Yu San grabbed Yu Juan and cried into tears.
"Juan'er, don't forget your mother and your brothers! Now my mother and your brother are all up to you! ”
In order to protect the family, it is too late to clear up the relationship, and it is unreliable.
Yu Juan couldn't cry, but secretly rejoiced. If she hadn't been assigned to marry the four princes, she would definitely have been sent to Zhuangzi to spend her life, and she wouldn't even be able to find a decent marriage.
"Mother, don't worry, when the limelight is over, I will find a way to reinstate the fourth prince to help the eldest brother and the second brother."
Although she has been recorded in the name of her uncle, according to the rules, the aunt and uncle are her parents, but after all, the bloodline is one layer worse, and she still believes in her brother more.
When Mr. Youya came in, he happened to hear these words and couldn't help frowning.
Originally, he shouldn't have come, but on a happy day, the third daughter-in-law went out crying like this, which was too unlucky. He wanted to come and tell a few words, so as not to be seen as a joke by the people of the capital.
He sighed secretly.
Juan'er is not as good as Miao'er in the end, it didn't work, and the four princes haven't become princes yet, so they are thinking about developing their own power, and the pattern is too small.
If it were Miao'er, it would never be like this!
Thinking of Yu Miao, Mr. Youya grinded the back tooth socket.
The granddaughter he personally raised was supposed to be his right-hand man, but she turned her back on her family and never heard from her.
It's all to blame Xie Xun!
Xie Xun received Yu Miao's first letter at this time.
After Yu Miao left the capital by ferry, he headed all the way to the southeast. Xie Xun considered that the little beauty would inevitably be lost and sad when she left her hometown, so he took the beautiful Yangzhou as his first stop.
I hope that the gentle drizzle in Yangzhou can soothe the little beauty.
Yu Miao's letter is very thick, more than 100 pages. On the first page, there are only a few eye-catching big words: Stinky and stinky, haven't you forgotten this girl?
On the second page is a painting, Yu Miao's self-portrait, staring angrily, but there is some sadness in the bottom of his eyes, as if to say, if you dare to forget me, I will cry to you!
Xie Xun raised his forehead, thinking that this girl would gradually forget him when she saw the flower world outside. The first letter arrived so quickly.
It seems that his plan failed.
"Lord Shizi, Miss Yu knows that you are such a calculating old thief, will she be angry with you?"
Jiuwan actually wants to ask more about the fact that the Yu family refuses to withdraw from the battle for succession, and one of the Xie family and the Yu family will eventually be defeated, and at that time, Miss Yu may accept it?
Don't end up with an enemy......
Obedient and obedient, how could Xie Xun not know Jiuwan's thoughts, it was precisely in order to avoid this situation that he repeatedly rejected Yu Miao. But the little beauty was entangled in every way and cried into tears, how could he bear it?
"Do your best, let it be the fate of heaven."
If one day, Yu Miao turned against him because of his family members, he could only come to block him, and the water would cover it.
Yu Miao's more than 100 pages of letters, in addition to more than a dozen self-portraits, also include poems, travelogues, and landscape paintings, no matter how big or small, and they seem to tell Xie Xun everything she has seen and experienced.
Those paintings are lifelike, and the descriptions are also vivid, and Xie Xun can't help but want to go on a trip.
In modern times, although he has taken time to travel once a year since he was in college, this time and space is 1,500 years ago, and the folk customs of mountains, rivers and rivers are very different.
"When the situation stabilizes, Ben Shizi will also go outside for a walk."
Xie Xun flicked the scenery painting of Slender West Lake in his hand, and his eyebrows suddenly raised high, "Uncle Qian said before, some customers think our furniture and ornaments are monotonous?" ”
Jiuwan nodded, "Since the beginning of this month, the sales of furniture and ornaments have been declining day by day. ”
The goods of Donghai Department Store, whether they are produced by Xie's Workshop or provided by suppliers, are all carefully selected, and the style is definitely much stronger than that on the market.
It's just that since the opening of Donghai Department Store, it has given the people of the world an impression of "selling strange goods". The furniture and ornaments that can be found in other stores are a bit disappointing to customers. In addition, furniture and decorative ornaments are not fast consumables, and after the initial fresh rush period, sales will naturally decline.
If it were normal, the money manager would not have specifically mentioned this matter to Xie Xun, but now the south and west sides of the city are rapidly consuming silver.
Digging out red jade ore and cinnabar ore can make money, but before making money, you must first fill in a large amount of silver and engage in infrastructure construction.
In modern times, 300,000 tons of coal mines require at least 10 million start-up capital, which shows that mining costs a lot of money!
Since the two mines began to dig wells, the money manager has to talk to Xie Xun every day, and today another 500,000 taels have been used in the south of the city, and 300,000 taels have also been used in the west of the city. Those two mines are two gold-devouring beasts!
The money manager looked at the money that was finally raised, and the silver that was originally going to be used for real estate development in the south of the city was filled in the two mines, and half of his hair was gray.
Xie Xun is already working on new products with Jinbo, and the seasonings soy sauce and chicken essence are also ready to be launched.
Soy sauce he has wanted to do for a long time. At present, people use rock salt and peppercorns to make brine and make braised meat, the color is not satisfactory, and the taste is not very good.
Seasonings are quick consumables and should make a fortune.
But the two mines plus the real estate project in the south of the city are still a drop in the bucket, and more profitable new products must be made.
Slender West Lake reminded Xie Xun of a major specialty of Yangzhou, lacquerware!
Lacquerware was deeply loved by the royal family in feudal society, and Yangzhou lacquerware was a tribute.
Furniture and ornaments are actually very profitable, especially in the capital, where the family gathers high doors, as long as you have enough rare goods, the price can be speculated to the sky.
When Xie Xun visited the cultural and entertainment market in modern times, he was also shocked by the exquisite lacquerware of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and after returning home, he deliberately looked up information on the lacquerware production process on the Internet.
By the time of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the lacquerware process was mature, and the lacquerware produced was beautiful.
In terms of lacquer, there was rhino leather paint as early as the Han Dynasty, but because of the process, the current rhino leather paint has not been well utilized.
"You send someone to tell Miss Jin that Ben Shizi will come to look for her tonight."
In the past few days, because of Si Wenjing's hot girl, he was afraid of causing trouble for Jin Silk, so he never went to the private house to find Jin Silk.
Presumably, the little maid named Layue is worried that he is disgusted with her young lady again, right?
To tell the truth, Jin Silk is really beautiful, and every time he sees her, he will feel like he is about to move.
I don't know who will go to such a big beauty cheaper in the future?
