Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 541 Mysterious Goods Arrive in Beijing!

The young craftsmen received a batch of new fabrics, two packets of snacks, two pieces of bacon, two jars of wine, plus silver rewards.

The women's New Year gift is the most abundant, the fabric is bright and beautiful, there is no shortage of snacks and bacon, there is also a box of rouge and gouache, a box of embroidery thread and embroidery needles, and the most important thing is that each person has a silver hairpin. Different colors but all are solid flower hairpins, so exquisite and elegant that people can't help but like them.

Therefore, as soon as the New Year gift is given out, other workshops will be fine. The seafood sauce workshop, dried fruit workshop, pencil workshop and other places with the most women are frying pans.

The women were joyful, jumping for joy, so full of joy that they almost toppled the roof.

"Oh, this material is so beautiful, I'm going to make a coat."

"I'm going to send it back to my mother's house. My sister is just engaged. It's so honorable to take her as a dowry."

"Then you might as well send this hairpin back. I heard from the steward that this hairpin is from Ruyi Building in Kyoto, not from a street stall."

"Ah, so expensive? Then I can't bear it, I want to keep it for myself!"

"Haha, thank you for saying it as if you hurt your sister, you don't just care about your own happiness!"

"You don't care about yourself, why don't you give up the materials and hairpins!"

Such jokes and jokes abounded everywhere, and almost everyone laughed from ear to ear.

After finally looking forward to getting off work, everyone is walking home with big bags and small bags.The scene was really spectacular. The hawkers on the side of the road and the relatives and friends who came to visit were a little dumbfounded, and then they clicked their mouths enviously.

In a stone house on the outskirts of the stone castle, an old woman stood at the door and saw that the neighbors were all returning home, she was so envious that she couldn't help but go into the house and complain about her old man.

"Old man, you said that when you were a mason, you were better than this goldsmith. You see, when people enter the workshop, they come back with a lot of things. Only we have to buy everything ourselves."

"Don't worry, old lady, I have a plan in my heart. Don't let them be more beautiful after taking care of you, maybe I can bring our brother Yu and the others over."

The old man who spoke was thin and thin, with three strands of beard, his eyes glistened, his hands were also thin, but they were different from ordinary people's flexibility.

Even though he was talking to the old woman at this moment, he was still fiddling with a copper coin between his fingers, very flexible.

The old woman was perhaps a little unconvinced, and wanted to nag the old man a few words, but someone outside the door shouted, "Is Master Feng at home?"

"Hey, yes!"

The old woman hurriedly answered and went to open the door, and the old man also got up and followed out.

As a result, there were quite a few people standing outside the door.Ding Laoer stood at the front, followed by two servants.The boy was holding a lot of things in his hands, including a box of snacks, bacon, and a jar of wine, and he almost couldn't hold it.

The old woman was still a little dazed, but old man Feng had already gone up to greet her, "Second master, why are you here? Someone summoned someone for something, and the old man went."

Ding Laoer cupped his hands and saluted, and said with a smile, "Master Feng, you are being polite. Seeing that it is the Chinese New Year, I will bring someone to send you some New Year's goods."

While talking, the two young servants came forward to ask with a smile, "Ma'am, where do you want to put the new year's goods?"

The old woman couldn't help but looked at her old man, seeing him nodding, she happily led the servant to the side room.

When she was able to come back, the old woman saw that her old man's fingers were slightly bloodstained, while Ding Lao Er was folding a piece of paper and putting it in her bosom.She was curious and wanted to inquire, but finally remembered that the guest was still there.

After finally holding back Ding Laoer to leave, she immediately grabbed the old man and asked, "Old man, didn't the second master always come here before, but he hasn't seen him in the past few days. What is the reason for coming to deliver things now?"

But the old man didn't respond for a while, which made the old woman pinch him secretly.

The old man regained his senses with an "Ouch" in pain, but instead of getting angry, he laughed.

The old woman was a little apprehensive, and when she didn't know what to do, the old man said, "Old woman, do you know what I signed just now? The deed! From now on, our family will follow the owner, second-class people, second-class People! Those second-class people who can only be promoted by the masters in the workshop! My monthly money is only ten taels, and An’s family has 100 taels of silver. Write a letter to Brother Yu and let their family take a boat Come here! Our Feng family will no longer have to worry about being hungry or being bullied!"

As he spoke, Xu recalled the days when he was bullied and manipulated, and the old man actually burst into tears.

The old woman was so frightened that she thought the old man had suddenly gone epileptic.

"Old man, don't scare me! If something happens to you, I won't live anymore!"

"What nonsense, I still want to earn a fortune for my descendants! Second-class people, after the new city is built, there will be a courtyard with three entrances!"

The old man pulled the old woman into the house, stretched out his hand and pulled out the two gold lockets from his arms, a total of ten taels, worth a hundred taels of silver.

Only then did the old woman believe the old man's words, and she hugged the money excitedly and kept crying...

The neighbor next door thought that the old couple was sad because they didn't get the New Year's goods, so they kindly shared some New Year's goods and came to comfort them.

I didn't want to, but I heard that the old man was signed to the master's house as a domestic servant, and he was directly promoted from a retail investor to a second-class citizen. Everyone was really envious.

The Feng family directly held a banquet and invited the neighbors to have a good time.

Such a sumptuous banquet is being held at many people's homes.Whether life is good or not, it will always fall on the new clothes on the body and the big fish and meat in the mouth in the end.

But this time of joyful reunion did not last long.

Because of the New Year's gift, the fleet only took two days to load all the goods and return to the voyage.

Some were anxious to go back to move their families, and some wanted to go back and talk to their relatives and friends about how their children lived on the island. They all boarded the boat again, full of reluctance and big packages, and were ready to go back.

On the third floor of the stone castle, Manager Xiao Liu was reporting the quantity of goods on board.

Ding Wei handed him the letters and gift lists that needed to be brought home, and finally asked Danggui to help move out a few things from the inner room.

There are two screen-like big guys covered with curtains, five exquisitely carved huanghuali wood makeup boxes, and a palm-sized spoon with a wooden handle.

Everyone was puzzled, wanting to ask but afraid of being abrupt.

On the contrary, An Geer ran in from the outside, curious about what was behind the curtain, stretched out his hand and tore it off, then exclaimed, "Mother, what is this, why is there me inside?"

"Oh, this is... I..."

Cheng Niangzi, who came in after An Ge'er, was also so startled that she almost jumped up, pointed at the mirror and stammered, unable to speak.

The gasps of the crowd also rose and fell one after another, they couldn't control their footsteps, and moved closer to carefully scrutinizing themselves in the mirror.

"Ma'am, what is this? A mirror? It's so clear!"

"Yeah, the acne marks on my face can be seen clearly!"

It was the first time for the young and old girls to see their own appearance so clearly, their faces flushed with excitement, and they were so crowded in front of the mirror that there was no air to pass through.

Manager Xiao Liu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, jumping up and down, and finally looked at it a few times, but he was too excited.

"Ma'am, how much did you make of this mirror? This time, it will also be shipped to Kyoto for sale..."

"No," Ding Wei shook her head, "Don't worry, this time, apart from giving gifts for the New Year, I only put a full-length mirror and a makeup box in Haiyun Pavilion to accumulate popularity, and I will ship some more to sell after the year, but it is also not a lot."

"Yes, yes, rare things are more valuable. If you ship too many at one time, even the most expensive things are not worth silver."

Xiao Liu was so excited that he didn't care about etiquette. He went up to grab a makeup box and opened it to check it out. Finally, he held up a small mirror with a wooden handle to look around, and kept shouting, "This makeup box can't be sold." If you pay 500 taels, the servant will have no face to come back to see the master, and this small mirror, at least 100 taels, 100 taels!"

Both Ding Laoer and Ding Wei were amused. At this moment, the young and old girls finally remembered that the master was still in front of them, and they all dispersed, but their eyes still couldn't help looking at the full-length mirror.

Ding Wei called Angelica to fill in all the gift lists, and the two full-length mirrors and makeup boxes were all distributed, but there were still many small mirrors.

Ding Wei called everyone, including Yunying Danggui, including Bai Niangzhao and Sister-in-law Zhao, everyone got one.Naturally, she kept taking pictures of joy and chatting non-stop.

Ding Wei looked at Mrs. Dong and smiled, and said, "Sister-in-law, these mirrors are all made by my second brother. This time I will not borrow flowers to present Buddha, but let my second brother make one for you. Over there, I heard that my younger sister is engaged, and I will go back on the next fleet, and I will bring a full-length mirror to my younger sister as a dowry, this time I will only bring two makeup boxes as a new year gift."

"No, no, it's too expensive." Mrs. Dong hurriedly declined, and Ding Wei pressed the back of her hand, "Sister-in-law, don't be polite, it's a high price to sell, and it's actually not more expensive than glass in our house .”

After hearing this, Mrs. Dong no longer declined.

All of a sudden, Manager Xiao Liu hurriedly took the packaged mirror away and put it on the big ship.

The fleet stayed for less than two days, and hurried back to Quanzhou. This time, only a small part of the cargo was unloaded, and it was directly transferred to the canal and placed directly outside Kyoto.

The goods were loaded on the carriage again and entered the gate of Kyoto all the way.

Although there is such a big movement every time Haiyun Pavilion buys goods, but this time, many people who are interested have discovered many differences.

For example, what is the tightly wrapped tall object on the carriage, coral?Or sea shells?
Everyone has curiosity, and it is the most leisure time of the year, even the yamen is full of two or three kittens.

So, someone followed the car and strolled to Haiyun Pavilion, wanting to watch the excitement early.

Of course, some people noticed that two carriages diverted halfway and went away, but no one said anything. After all, everyone has relatives and friends, and it should be a long way to bring some New Year gifts.

Soon, the motorcade arrived in front of Haiyun Pavilion, and the two stewards of the Fang family smiled and came out to pick up the carriage, greeted everyone, and chatted a few words.

Manager Xiao Liu pulled one of them and handed over a letter.The steward was very puzzled after reading it, but he still obeyed the order and sent the rest of the goods to the warehouse behind, leaving only a makeup box on the highest chopping board, and put the screen-like thing on the other side. The most conspicuous position.
