Famous Doctor Woman

Chapter 11 First Encounter
The jewelry set of Diexi Peony is valuable, because the unlucky craftsman is no longer alive, so the price has been inflated. What is surprising is that Li Yue'e's ruby ​​hairpin is also worth 800 taels of silver.

Two thousand 200 taels, so much money was unexpected. Mo Yan didn't know the prices in this era. After asking her second brother, she found out that in the market, an egg costs one penny, and one penny can also buy a thin noodle steamed bun. One tael of silver is equal to one thousand wen for a thick-faced corn bun. With such a conversion, Mo Yan suddenly felt that he had a huge sum of money.

In Kyoto, there are respectable families who are very taboo about pawning. Unless life is difficult, jewelry and hairpins are the most basic things to maintain appearance. Even if the family really eats steamed buns and pickles, gold, silver and jade are indispensable, otherwise they will be looked down upon. .

On the market, there are a lot of exquisite jewelry that come out of these official mansions, some of them are tricky, and some maids who are shameless will ask others to sell them when they get rewards from their masters. In Kyoto, there are special middlemen. This is for living.

If it is exchanged for bank notes, it will not be able to use up so much in a short period of time. I have confidence in my hands, but I don’t know how to make money from money. Mo Yan has always wanted to make an investment. Be safe, buy a house and land, and pursue high risks. Invest in gambling halls to lend usury.

"Yan Yan, if you have any money left, you can keep it as your own money."

Mo Qingyu saw Mo Yan's hesitation, sighed softly, stood up, rubbed her head with her hands like she did when she was a child, and said dotingly, "What do you like in the future, clothes, jewelry, hairpins, two Brother tried his best to satisfy you, I was negligent before..."

"Second brother..."

Mo Yan was a little uncomfortable, her face turned red, she wasn't pretending this time, she was really embarrassed, and at the same time, she was moved by the sibling relationship between her predecessor and her second brother, that's all, before she knew the situation, she still put the money in her hand Reliable, if there are good projects in the future, I will figure out how to make a fortune.

"It's getting late, go to bed early, I'll give you news tomorrow night."

Mo Qingyu nodded, drifted away like a gust of wind, and disappeared at the door of the room. Mo Yan woke up from her stupor. Just now, the two brothers and sisters were talking, and Mo Xiang and the little maid Mo Yu had been waiting in the side hall. Come in and help make the bed.

Tomorrow, Mo Yan decided to ask her mother for instructions, and go out for a walk, the daughters of officials in Kyoto will also go shopping together, as long as they wear a veil, since she has been in Dayue for so long and has been recuperating in the mansion, she urgently needs to see the world.

Summer in Kyoto is like a big steamer. Mo Yan was woken up by the heat. She rubbed her eyes with her hands and looked at the sky outside the window. Just after dawn, there was a rustling sound of sweeping the floor in the yard. It must be that The deaf-mute woman was sweeping the yard.

"Miss, it's time for you to get up."

Mo Xiang was already fully dressed, and when she heard that she was going out of the house today, she changed into a set of light pink maid uniforms, and she was full of energy. Mo Yan observed carefully, and was surprised to find that Mo Xiang looked good when he smiled, his eyes squinted into crescent moons, There is also a pair of charming pear dimples on the face.

"kindness."

It's hot, Mo Yan doesn't sleep well, she is used to kicking the quilt, last night Mo Xiang came in to help her cover the quilt several times, but she is also a sensitive person, she will wake up immediately when someone approaches, maybe she has been used to it for so many days, smelling Mo The faint scent of soap locust on Xiang's body reassured her, turned over and continued to sleep.

Yushifu's breakfast is simple, usually porridge or steamed buns, wonton oil cakes, and occasionally a dish of crystal elbow flowers as side dishes.Father Mo Zhongchen went to court in the morning and got up before dawn, his mother Lu accompanied him to have breakfast, and took a nap for a while, and Mo Yan usually went to pay his respects after breakfast.

"Miss, today is the first day of June. Madam went to Beicheng to give alms. About you leaving the mansion, I have already consulted Madam for instructions last night."

There were only two maids in the room, and Mo Xiang had to do some washing and rinsing. She quickly put the bowls and chopsticks in the food box and handed them to the little maid Mo Yu to send them back to the big kitchen. When the second young master left last night Later, she waited for the young lady to wash up, but forgot about it.

"Oh, like this."

Mo Yan suddenly remembered that her own mother, Mrs. Lu, would go to Beicheng to give alms every [-]th day of the Lunar New Year. Beicheng is a famous slum in Kyoto. There are many families living in the courtyard. In her impression, it seems that many children are yellow and thin.

The Lu family has a strong reputation, but not a bad reputation. This is also because his father, Mo Zhongchen, is upright and upright. Life in the family is tight, but the Lu family never stops giving to Beicheng.

The Yushi Mansion is close to the inner city of Kyoto, surrounded by high-ranking families, officials of the third grade or above, from the alley at the side door of their own house, not far away is one of the centers of Kyoto, Suzaku Street.

On Zhuque Street, there are many shops, such as silk shops, rouge and gouache shops, and jewelry shops of various colors. Most of the mansions here are official houses, with power and money, and there is no shortage of status. Look at the carriage parked at the entrance of the jewelry shop, the cars outside The precious gems inlaid on the curtain are probably no less than a hundred taels of silver.

"What a show off!"

Mo Yan is very disgusted with this kind of people who are stupid, rich and fond of money. On the other hand, their own carriage is just made of ordinary boxwood, and the inside is simpler. It is an old horse-drawn carriage. Gray and over 60 years old.

"Miss, look at this carriage has the imprint of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, it seems to be Miss Biao's car."

There are many carriages in the Hou's mansion, and the appearance is luxurious, so Mo Xiang is not sure, because the Hou's family has a great business, there are four families in total, and even Xia Ruoxue herself has two younger sisters who were born out of concubine.

"That's right, let's go to Zhenbao Pavilion to have a look."

Treasure Pavilion is a very famous store in Kyoto. The hairpin and ring jewelry it sells are extremely magnificent and exquisitely crafted. Of course, the price is expensive. Many officials' daughters are proud to own Treasure Pavilion jewelry. At this time, Xia Ruoxue came to buy , maybe it was to prepare for the West Garden Poetry Meeting four days later.

"Miss, don't you want it?"

Mo Xiang seemed very hesitant. When she went out today, she had already promised his wife to watch over the young lady, so that her own lady would not cause trouble. This Treasure Pavilion is full of treasures. If the young lady willfully damages a few things, it will be a loss if she sells her for eighteen lifetimes. Sorry.

"Relax."

Mo Yan rolled her eyes, and it didn't cost any money. She wanted to see her for a long time. If she met her cousin Xia Ruoxue, she could find someone who took advantage of her. Without spending any money, she would have all the jewelry for the Xiyuan Poetry Club!What luck!
