Sakura didn't know that the two younger brothers couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep because of her family.

Since that day, the two younger brothers seem to have grown up suddenly, and they have spoken and acted much more calmly.

Subsequently, Jiang Wu and Huzi's letter of appointment also came down, and Huzi was appointed as the captain of the forbidden army in the capital, and he was a six-rank martial artist.

Jiang Wu served as the training envoy of the Yuzhou regiment, from the fifth rank official, and he will rush to Bianliang to serve after the year.

Chunniang and Sakura are both happy and a little worried.

After all, Jiang Wu is still young, and he is only fifteen after the New Year, so he will have to travel thousands of miles away, and he will not be able to go home for at least several years.

Sakura Bao: "Mother, why don't we give Xiao Wuding a kiss first, he goes so far, there must be someone considerate around to take care of him."

Chun Niang sighed: "Where can I find a suitable one at a time or two? Alas, if only your father were here."

Sakura frowned and thought for a while, "Why don't I accompany Xiao Wu to Bianliang?"

The capital is very boring, and there are the Xiao family and Chen Tiantian by the side, and he can't kill them immediately, so he simply walks away.

Anyway, A-Niang has Jiang Jie to take care of her, and Mr. Wu's family is taking care of her, and she will ask the emperor's master for a decree to let his father also come to live in Beijing.

When the time comes, the grandfather and grandmother and the second uncle's family will be brought in, and the Jiang family will have the four seasons potted plant shop, and the family will not say that they are rich and expensive, and they will definitely not have to worry about eating and drinking.

Chun Niang shook her head: "No, you stay at home with your mother honestly." The girls are all big girls, where can they walk around?

Seeing that A-Niang was resolutely opposed, Ying Bao didn't say anything anymore, thought for a while, and suddenly remembered Jiang Jie: "Mother, the Luo family, we should also invite a matchmaker to go over and say yes."

Although the Luo family first wanted Jiang Jie to be his son-in-law, he couldn't be rude to his own family, as long as Jiang Jie had no opinion, he had to hurry up and settle the family affairs.

Chunniang nodded: "I have asked Mrs. Wu to help find a matchmaker a few days ago, but recently all families have been busy worshipping ancestors, and Mrs. Wu asked us to wait."

Sakura Bao put his mind at ease, "I still have a lot of silk and satin there, let's go to the jewelry shop to order some head jewelry, and we also need to buy some jade, in case the matchmaker comes, we also have a dowry that we can get our hands on."

Chunniang: "Then let's go to the market tomorrow, seeing that the New Year is over, we have to prepare some fabrics to make new clothes for the servants at home."

"Well, Xiao Wu and Huzi's new clothes also have to be prepared." Yingbao wanted to buy more new materials for his childhood, and then asked the embroidery girl to make a few more good robes for the two younger brothers and Huzi Jiang Quan.

They often walk outside, and they have to wear elaborate accessories.

The next day, Sakura and Chun Niang took a girl to the market in the family carriage.

First go to the jewelry shop and set six sets of gold-inlaid treasures, two gold collars, a few pairs of jade bracelets, a few pairs of gold bracelets, and a hosta Huasheng ivory comb, etc., and the men's leather belts and seven things are also set a few sets, and let the shopkeeper send them to the Jiang family in the plum blossom workshop.

After that, he went to the silk shop and ordered dozens of silk silks, as well as cotton and linen cloth for the servants.

I also asked the silk shop to introduce a few embroidery girls and send them to Jiang's house.

Then I went to the shoe shop and bought several pairs of shoes and leather boots for each of my brother and cousins, and a pair of cotton shoes for each of the servants and maidservants.

This time, hundreds of taels of silver were used just to set the money, but Chun Niang was distressed, and asked her daughter, "Is our family's money enough?"

These things are just given money first, and then let the store send the goods to Jiang's house, and then pay the rest of the money.

"Mother, don't worry, it's enough." Sakura Bao and his second cousin opened four seasons of potted plants, in just over two months, they earned thousands of taels of silver, and the money for removing flower pots and seedlings, as well as the silver for building flower houses and buying shops, made a net profit of more than 2,000 taels.

Even after sharing it with her second cousin, she can get more than a thousand, which is enough to cover today's expenses.

Where can Chunniang rest assured, but she also knows that the money has to be spent.

Not only these, but when I turned around, I had to prepare New Year's gifts and distribute them to relatives and friends, as well as Jiang Jie's colleagues.

Although people will return gifts, they are also gifts, not money, and they can't get back what they spent.

place

It's not easy to be an official in Beijing, and my son looks a lot of money, but if he has to support a large family, he has to go through personal contacts, and he can't make a turnover without a little extra livelihood.

Fortunately, the little girl did some business with her second cousin, otherwise, the family would not even be able to afford a servant.

After visiting the store, I went to the rice grain shop to buy grain and salt, some spices, and several jars of soy sauce and rice vinegar.

Chun Niang saw that the soybean paste in the capital cost dozens of dollars a catty, and couldn't help muttering: "I knew that we would dry a few jars at home, which is too expensive."

Ying Bao also thinks it's very expensive, a copper spoon costs more than 100 wen, and it's not cost-effective: "Wait for next summer, let's dry it ourselves."

Cooking at home is indispensable for miso seasoning, and they have a large family, including servants, and they have to use several spoonfuls of miso a day, not to mention the daily foods such as rice, flour, oil, chicken, duck and fish.

Sakura Bao roughly calculates that their family spends about ten taels a day, and it is three hundred taels a month.

This is just the consumption of food, if you add the exchange of gifts, the monthly money of the servants, not five hundred taels per month, life can not go on at all.

The mother and daughter finally finished the purchase and rode home in the carriage.

After a while, all the shops were delivering their things.

Sakura Bao checked it again, and picked out a few boxes of beads from the other samples sent by the store, and then settled the money.

The precious jewelry and cloth were placed in the Chunniang house and locked up in camphor wood boxes.

These are prepared as bride prices.

The rest was handed over to Wei Xiuxiu and a few newly invited embroiderers, and asked them to make clothes for the master of the family.

The servants gave their own clothes, and Sakura gave each of them cotton and cotton linen, enough for each of them to make two sets of clothes and trousers.

The clothes of the male servants and the little maids are handed over to a few girls to do it for them, anyway, they don't need to embroider on their clothes, and a few little girls do it together, and it can be done in two days.

As for the rice, flour, grain, oil, salt and sauce, etc., Yingbao was placed in a separate room, and Mu Dan was temporarily in charge of the key, and the kitchen would keep as many accounts as he could.

After the sacrificial stove, two eunuchs suddenly came to the palace, saying that they were in the mouth of the saint and announced that Jiang Yingbao entered the palace to meet him.

Ying Bao remembered what Master Zhou Wuchang had said before, and asked the two eunuchs, "Master told me that if he summons me, there will be a holy decree, why don't you?"

The two eunuchs looked a little flustered, but quickly calmed down and said, "Jiang Yingbao, do you want to resist the decree?"

Sakura Po looked at the two of them, "You'd better be honest, whose orders are you on?" And why did you summon me to the palace, if there is a lie, I will personally ask the master and cure you for your sins!"

One of the eunuchs sank his face: "Jiang Yingbao, you threaten our family?"

"False proclamation of the Holy Decree will increase the sin to the first degree, this father-in-law, you can't know it, right?" Sakura Po was not afraid of these two eunuchs at all.

It's just the dog raised by Concubine Shu, and last time it was the two of them, who lied that they had been ordered by the emperor, but in fact, Concubine Shu relied on her pregnancy to falsely convey her will.
