After breakfast, the time has come.

It's cloudy, the wind is stronger, freehand with a big coat to wrap their own adults, send them to the outside sedan chair, all the way to the northwest of the mansion Xiaojiao Gate, out of the mansion, straight on the dock to send people on the boat, tell the close Lin Xiaoyu a few words, then return.

Together with Liubai, he took the maids back to the courtyard, and He Xuan came again, saying that his freehand father Qiao Wang was already waiting in the side courtyard where the guests were meeting outside.

So he rushed over and asked Liubai to call Luoshui over.

Qiao Wang is here to deliver something.

However, when he saw his daughter, Qiao Wang didn't mention anything serious for a while, but asked in a low voice: "Girl, I heard...... You are on the third day of the next month...... Something good? ”

Freehand didn't expect his father to open his mouth like this, and his face instantly turned red: "Dad, you, how do you know?" ”

Then I realized that it should be He Xuan.

Seeing his daughter like this, Qiao Wang didn't answer her questions, but nodded a little excitedly: "Girl, dad is ...... Happy, well, do you want gold thread, there should be gold thread, Dad has prepared 10 catties," he said, motioning to a mahogany box on the coffee table next to him, and said again: "There should be jewelry, Dad also let people go to fight, and I will send it to you in a few days." ”

Freehand only felt his face burn.

I was also sure that it was He Xuan, because she asked He Xuan to help the craftsman draw gold thread a few days ago.

My own adults like to look good, that day...... Although it can't be handled, just like the young lady at the beginning, Freehand still wants to prepare a set of wedding dresses for herself.

Unexpectedly, after telling He Xuan to be quiet, he still let his father know.

Perhaps, it's not just my father.

Thinking so, since it was his father who gave it to him, he nodded slightly, glanced at the mahogany boxes on the several, and said, "Dad, where do you want 10 catties, it's just ...... Just to make clothes, I can't use up 1 catty. ”

"1 catty is enough, use more, keep it if you can't use it up," Qiao Wang said: "Dad knows that you have a lot of flowers, and the family ...... Thanks to the great grace of the adults, we are also rich at the moment, and we can use more if we can. ”

In charge of the glass workshop and crystal business, although Zhu Yuan adjusted his shares several times and gave most of the benefits to the royal family, the dividends that Qiao Wang could get were still amazing.

Everything in the Qiao family at the moment is because of his daughter, and Qiao Wang feels that no matter how much money is spent on Freehand, it is all right.

Freehand heard his father say this, so he could only nod.

Too shy to talk about it.

Fortunately, Luo Shui appeared in time to interrupt Qiao Wang's attempt to ask more thoughts.

Seeing the appearance of the father and daughter, Luo Shui immediately guessed anything, and he didn't break it, but just smiled and greeted Qiao Wang.

Then get down to business.

"I brought three truckloads of leathers here," Qiao Wang said, pushing another cloth bag that had been placed next to the mahogany box to the two women: "You see, these are the looks, a total of 26 kinds, common cowhides, sheepskins, dog skins, rabbit skins, etc., as well as tiger skins, bear skins, wolf skins, leopard skins, python skins, and dragon skins, which are rare, the same kind of leather, the tanning method is different, and the leather quality is also different, the name, good or bad, and the price are all written on the appearance." ”

It was good to let my father sit down, and he and Luo Shui stood beside the coffee table and took out leather samples from the package one by one.

These are for making bags.

After Zhu Yuan put forward the idea, he became the shopkeeper, but under the control of several women, the preparations for Guan Jufang have been advancing.

took out a stack of leather marked with text annotations and tasted it with Luo Shui, and found a piece of shark skin in Freehand, and remembered: "Dad, didn't the adults say that they would hand over the military quartermaster to this shark skin?" ”

】

"That's the way it is," Qiao Wang said while sitting on a chair next to him holding a cup of tea, "But since sharks have become a monopoly, whether it is shark fin or others, the price has risen day by day, and merchants are seeking profits, and there will always be some money flowing into the people." Oh, Dad knows the severity, don't touch these. The two of you are looking at the import from overseas, and many caravans have recently returned from Goryeo, Japan, which can be regarded as bypassing the rules. ”

"Don't do it," Freehand still shook his head: "Other people can bypass the rules, our family...... It's better to be more cautious, after all, it's the adults who decide. ”

Qiao Wang nodded with a smile, and said: "If this is the case, I am afraid that you will not be able to use cowhides, it is also a military supply, and it is also sold from outside the territory. ”

Freehand gesture in front of you: "Any variety of materials, there is no shortage of one or two." ”

Qiao Wang pointed: "You two look at that skin, if it is a package, that one is the best, other skins will get old after a long time, and this skin is the most durable." I also heard from the leather dealer that in ancient times, the big drum was made from this skin, and the sound of hitting it could spread for dozens of miles, so as to deter the enemy's mind and make it collapse without a fight. Moment...... The drums are all made of cowhide, which is not used. ”

Qiao Wang sighed in amazement, but Luo Shui laughed: "Uncle Qiao, if that big drum can capture people's hearts, why only shoot the enemy and not your own soldiers?" ”

Freehand listened to Luo Shui say this, and laughed.

Qiao Wang found out about the problem, and he also smiled: "It's all a joke, but this skin material is really good, it's not the little dragon in our big river, it's the Gu family who helped introduce it, and it was transported from Fujian in the south, where the dragon can grow to two zhang, this is a real mile, and there is a whole big dragon skin in the car outside." ”

As they spoke, the two women also found a sample of the skin, looked at it freely, and couldn't help but shake their heads: "The texture is too irregular." ”

Luo Shui looked over: "Isn't it pretty?" ”

Freehand thought for a moment and insisted on his opinion: "It's not good-looking." ”

Luo Shui said with a smile: "The adults have taught it, in the future, let's say that this texture is good-looking, that is, good-looking." ”

Freehand remembers.

Well.

It's called ...... Aesthetic discourse.

The two girls looked at each other, and Qiao Wang mentioned another: "There are also craftsmen such as gold, silver, tanned skin, etc., and there have always been craftsmen in the north, and there is no shortage of them." That's it, let me say that the weaver embroidered the mother or something, girl, my father just wanted to heh, instead of bothering to hire someone, why not buy some back, the tooth people are big and small, the east side of the lake Cuizhou is not leveled out, the steam workshop is not there, your workshop, just put it there. ”

Qiao Wang wanted to put the glass workshop in Cuizhou, but Zhu Yuan didn't agree, but he kept it in mind.

Freehand nodded: "About the workshop, my father and Sister Luoshui thought about it together, and the adults agreed." Buy people......" said and glanced at Luo Shui, Luo Shui didn't seem to hear it, focused on appreciating the appearance of the leather in his hand, and said freehand: "...... I'll have to talk to you about this. ”

Qiao Wang noticed his daughter's small movements, and did not urge, but just said a few words: "It is good to buy people, you can work and serve, and if you marry someone in the future and give birth to a small child, you will have a child." This is a family with children, it can be regarded as a big family, and the children of the family are more loyal than outsiders. ”

As he spoke, the sample was quickly read.

I don't have any more ideas for the time being, and I plan to make them into bags to try the effect.

Luo Shui took the initiative to beckon the servants to move the three truckloads of leather to the inner house, and the freehand father and daughter were left here, and found the shark skin again, fiddling with it in their hands, freehand hesitated slightly, or said: "Dad, my daughter has to persuade you, you can't rely on adults, you don't care about many rules, adults seem to be informal, in fact, the inside has always been cautious, our family can't cause trouble for him." ”

Qiao Wang was stunned.

In the past, his daughter had said similar things, either explicitly or secretly, but he felt that today seemed to be different.

Zheng nodded: "Dad remembers, too...... Oh, no, no. ”

Freehand but did not stop: "There is also money, Dad, you can't care too much, no matter how much money you have, you can't rely on it." The adult said, with the ability of his brother, the future of the marquis is expected, this is the real future of the Qiao family, it can be passed on for a hundred years, if there is no this, no matter how much money there is, how can it be kept? ”

Qiao Wang nodded again, and looked at his daughter with some inquiry.

Freehand's face turned red, and after thinking about it, he said: "My lord......" Speaking of this, he paused, looked out of the door, and then continued: "Dad, my lord...... I want to have an heir as soon as possible, and ...... In addition, I am inconvenient to say, in short...... There is only next month. ”

The freehand was not broken, but Qiao Wang understood, and was a little excited in an instant, and nodded like garlic: "Dad understands, girl, dad go back...... I won't be going out for a few days, so I must reflect on it. Alas, what you said, my father should really reflect on it, he was in ...... back then. The Wang family, my father is not so unstable. Girl, if you are relieved, your father will die immediately, and it will not delay you and your brother. ”

Freehand hurriedly waved his hand: "What did my father say, my daughter just ...... It's good that Dad understands. ”

"Understood, understood," Qiao Wang nodded again, looked outside the courtyard, paused, and said, "That...... Luoshui girl, smart, you, can't compare, you have to think more about it on weekdays, don't really take care of your heart and lungs at all, remember? ”

Freehand knew that his father was thinking about himself, but he didn't want to talk about Luo Shui in private, so he just nodded slightly.

Saying this, after the leather was moved, he sent his father away, and freehand took two servants carrying gold wire boxes to his own house in the inner house, put the boxes away, and began to busy with many daily affairs in the mansion again.

Until noon.

The adults of their own family returned, waited for dinner, and waited for Zhu Yuan to start taking a nap, and then returned to his own house in the east wing.

I also brought a few other women with the best needlework in the house to help sew clothes.

In fact, when the freehand is busy, they can also be arranged to do these, but the freehand in other aspects on weekdays is not small, but it is abnormal, and you must watch it in person, so that everyone can do it.

Leave a blank space to enter the door.

Seeing a group of girls around the table threading needles and threads on the big red wedding dress, they also came up and began to help, but there was a resentful expression on their faces, and they chattered a little: "I hate to press the gold thread every year and make wedding clothes for others." ”

Freehand glanced over and said angrily: "You know how to sentence a lot." ”

For the third day of the next month, Freehand quietly calculated.

Or is it the one of my own adults...... That, there are sayings like the first seven and the last eight, so it is found that ...... Your own life is not quite right.

It's a blank space, just right.

However, Freehand did not give in this time.

Even if it's a good sister who is closer than a sister.

Not for yourself, but for ...... For the sake of the children.

After the adults in their own family did not have the idea of marrying, in this house, the eldest son and the second son ...... That's a world of difference.

Blank was trained, coquettishly stuck out his tongue, but the movements of his hands were more careful than other girls, in fact, he knew that this set was completed, and the next thing was his own, while he gestured to the main house, and said sourly: "Take a nap and call over to hug it, it's addictive." ”

The embroidery needle in Freehand gestured towards the blank mouth: "Chew this again, I really prick you." ”

I left all the blank spaces in my mouth, but I really didn't say anything more.

I can't talk about freehand, but I secretly think about it in my heart, as if I ...... Adults ...... today The spirit seems to be ...... It's better, perhaps, that can really make up for the sick and weak bodies of adults.
