Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 389
Shichahai, the Li Family Courtyard, the front hall.

With the account book in hand, Yang Ruixue listened to the report from the shopkeeper of the silver building.Because the bank bought some headgear in the first year, but they didn't sell it later, and a lot of money was put in it. The funds on the account were a little insufficient, so the shopkeeper came to find Yang Ruixue.

Although Yang Ruixue didn't manage accounts when he was in Jiangning, after all, he was born as a merchant, and he was familiar with these things as a child.

Looking at the "double-flowered pomegranate hairpin", "ruyi peony hairpin", "holding lotus boy hairpin", "shouzi group crane hairpin", "magpie climbing plum hairpin" in a row on the account book, Yang Ruixue couldn't help but sighed, feeling the pain in his heart. But already understood.

Those who like jewelry and are willing to go shopping in silver houses are mostly older girls and daughters-in-law, but these styles are too old-fashioned.Even though there are these hairpins in her jewelry, most of them are dowry things left by her grandmother to her mother.

The shopkeeper is probably not an expert in the silver house business.

Because the silver building was given by Li Xu, and the shopkeeper was hired by the Li family's envoy, Yang Ruixue couldn't say anything.It's just that now it's different from the past. In the past, she was just a pastime in the silver house, and she had nothing to do to hang around, so she had the right to relax.

Now, Yang Ruixue treats the silver building as a living.She has already persuaded Yiduli to send people to go south to pick up her mother and daughter. When the family is reunited, they will live a good life in Beijing.

After coming to the capital for nearly a year, Yang Ruixue could see it.Those so-called officials really have nothing to fear, that is Qianmen Street, there are many people wearing shabby patched clothes and buying half a catty of pork on credit from pork bars.

Money is the real thing, Yi Duli didn't dare to underestimate her, it's because her family is rich, she can support herself, and she doesn't have to rely on others.On the contrary, although Yiduli has nobles and officials, and his family has an ancestral Zhuangzi, he still has a lot of money to spend every month, which is not as rich as Yang Ruixue's side.

Li Xu is a generous person, this silver building was only built to make Yang Ruixue happy.Even before leaving the capital, Li Xu specially sent someone to pick Yang Ruixue over to the mansion and stayed there for one night.

Compared to Li Ding's misfortune, Li Xu is much more affectionate.I don't know if it's because of Xiaobie's victory over the newlyweds, or because of love, but Li Xu has a sense of getting stronger and stronger with age, and he rubbed Yang Ruixue so hard that he almost lost his soul.

Between the beds, kissing the neck close to each other, and whispering.What was said in it, but only Yang Ruixue knew...

The shopkeeper didn't make a sound when he heard the boss sighed. He was a little nervous and looked up.But seeing her pink face with spring, her eyes are affectionate, sitting there not knowing what to think.

Although the shopkeeper is not confused about his age, and his children are as old as Yang Ruixue, but seeing her so charming, he still couldn't help but roll his eyes.

When Yang Ruixue recovered from her contemplation, seeing the shopkeeper's bewildered appearance, she couldn't help frowning and snorting coldly.

The shopkeeper just realized that he lost his composure, and hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and drooped his head.

Yang Ruixue was used to seeing men lustful and gaffe, so she wasn't very annoyed.She put down the account book, touched the palace flower on her head, and said to the shopkeeper, "Go back first, and don't worry about the spring goods. I will think about it for two days and see if there are any other regulations." .”

The shopkeeper hurriedly responded, stepped forward carefully to take the account book, and withdrew.

Yang Ruixue took off the palace flower from her head, and took off a string of beads from her wrist.

When it comes to fashionable jewelry, they are all passed down from the palace.If you can get the new palace flower shape in the palace early, then if you find a few dexterous women to make it day and night, it is not better than anything else.

There are also beads. Although her family's bead farm is now owned by Li's family, she has to find a place to sell it.Noble ladies in Beijing like beadwork.When sending a daughter off for marriage, one or several sets of beads are indispensable.

Of these two things, one she knows how to do, and the other doesn't stress money, but it's a hundred times better than those old-fashioned gold hairpins and silver bracelets.

Having made up her mind, she also had a smile on her face, it seemed that when Yidu came over, he asked if he could find a way to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and invited two flower makers to come.If things can be done, this money will be indispensable in the future.

She looked at the sun and guessed that Yiduri would be here soon, so she went to the backyard to dress up.

After Yang Ruixue cleansed her face and reapplied powder, the servant girl Yingchun came with new clothes and asked, "Grandma, do you think this looks okay?"

But she was wearing a begonia red spring shirt. Yang Ruixue touched the clothes with a hint of self-mockery in her expression.From now on, this red color has no chance with her.

How can I have no regrets when my wife becomes a concubine?Yang Ruixue stood up and said to Yingchun, "Just wear it!"

After a while, Yang Ruixue dressed neatly, and Yingchun rushed to flatter her: "Grandma wears this color really well, it makes her skin look even whiter!"

Yang Ruixue looked at the mirror and felt sorry for herself, didn't she, this bright red dress made her look more and more charming.

Yang Ruixue sighed inwardly, and changed out of the crabapple red.Banner people are the most respectful of rules, even if Yi Duli treats her like a treasure now, he still doesn't want to see her disobey the rules, right?
She looked for other clothes to change into, looked at the begonia red spring shirt, and said to Yingchun: "Put this away!"

Yingchun went down, Yang Ruixue sat in front of the dressing table in a daze, thinking about something.

After a while, she heard footsteps in the yard, and turned her head to look at the door. The one who came in through the curtain wasn't Yi Duli, who was it?

Yi Duli held two dim sum bags in his hand, and said with a bit of flattery: "Rui Xue, look what I brought here? I specially bought dim sum from the front door, a pack of eight small pieces, and a pack of vines Cake, didn’t you say you wanted to eat this bite yesterday?”

Yang Ruixue got up gracefully, with a bit of joy on her face, stepped forward to take it, and said, "Master Lao, don't worry about it!"

Yi Duli said with a little dissatisfaction: "Why are you still called 'Yi Ye', 'Yi Ye', called 'Ye Ye', isn't it a good day for two days?" As he spoke, he stroked Yang Ruixue's arm, eyes Glance over to the bed curtain.

Yang Ruixue hastily retracted her arms, closed her sleeves, turned her head sideways and said, "Since it's only two days away, why are you so anxious?"

Yi Duli stepped forward, pulled her into his arms, kissed her hard, and then let go: "Hanging like this is really killing me!"

Although Yang Ruixue was afraid of being underestimated and wanted to pretend to be reserved, she was also afraid of offending him.Hastily stretched out a pair of lotus root arms, hugged Yiduli's arm, and pressed half of his body against it, and said softly: "I know that the master loves my concubine, but it's only limited by etiquette. Serving Lord..."

Changchun Garden, Qingxi Bookstore.

After being reprimanded for a while, Brother Jiu retreated embarrassingly, but his face was a little ugly, and he muttered: "Bullshit etiquette!"

It was still about those business matters, some imperial envoys impeached Brother Jiu, saying that as a prince, he "competes with the people for profit", which is against the law of etiquette.

Kangxi turned his face and reprimanded him head and shoulders, leaving no room for Brother Jiu to justify.

Not to mention the spitting Xingzi who was sprayed on half of the face, Brother Nine was also given a fine salary for one year and a three-month ban.He is a well-known God of Wealth, so he doesn't really feel sorry for those little money, but it's just that he lost face so much.

If watching him do business is an eyesore, why not raise his title?Brother Jiu couldn't help but slander Kangxi.

Now he is only of the grade of Gushan Beizi, with an annual salary of 300 taels of silver and [-] hu of Lumi.Although in the early years when the mansion was opened, several Zhuangzi and some money were distributed, but as the prince's elder brother, this kind of human relationship is overwhelming.

Which of the major palaces in the capital does not have a shop?It's just that there are not many shops, and they are left to the servants to manage.What makes him different from others is that there are more shops, and he is used to handling the bills by himself.

That silver is a good thing, without money, there is no favor, no favor, where can I create momentum and word of mouth for the eighth elder brother?
Brother Nine is worried about handing over the property to the servants below.As far as those things of deception and concealment are concerned, how much has he seen?

It's just that, looking at the emperor's father admonishing others, his voice is loud and energetic, he doesn't look like someone who has been ill for a long time, how did the news of the Tai Hospital come out?
Is it because the servants deliberately made some fake news to claim credit, they should not be so courageous; or is the emperor's father already at the end of his strength, and now he is holding on?

The ninth elder brother was muttering in his heart, when he saw the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother walking towards each other.

Elder Seventeen said, "Why did you run away? I thought those mink mice were pretty, and their coats were pure!"

Brother Sixteen shook his head: "Whether he ran away, or asked those servants to exchange money in private, who can tell?"

While talking, they saw Brother Jiu, the two younger brothers hurriedly stopped, retreated aside, made way for Brother Jiu, and said at the same time: "Brother Jiu!"

Brother Nine nodded and said: "Ah sixteenth brother, seventeenth brother, are you going to see Huang Ama?"

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother looked at each other, bowed and replied: "Well, I have an errand to report back!"

Brother Nine had a smile on his face, and said: "Perhaps Huang Ama must value the two younger brothers. What kind of errand is this? Can you talk to Brother Nine, an idler, why did you just hear you say that ermines are not good?" Mink's?"

The sixteenth elder brother also laughed and said: "It's just an idle job. How can I not tell Brother Nine? A few days ago, the chief eunuch of Changchun Garden went to the animal breeding place to report that there was a marten in the mink farm. Bitten through the iron cage and ran away. I had people go to interrogate it before, and it was said that it was because of carelessness and carelessness when closing the cage, which caused the mink to be lost. The little eunuch who kept it was afraid of being punished, so he broke the cage and said that he drilled himself. Huang Ama didn't believe it, she thought there was a lie, and was afraid that the servants were cheating and stealing things from the imperial garden to ruin the sale, so she sent her younger brother and Seventeenth Brother to the breeding center to have a look !"

Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and became more and more confused.This sesame mung bean matter is worth the two princes to investigate in person?
Is Huang Ama really old and confused, or does she have some ulterior motive?Ninth elder brother was thinking about this, and was anxious to discuss with eighth elder brother, so he didn't tell sixteenth elder brother and seventeenth elder brother. go quickly!"

Cao Mansion, front yard, living room.

Han Jiangshi sat in the hall, waiting for Cao Yong and his wife to come out.She looked around at the arrangement, secretly thinking about what to do in a while.

The person Cao Yong sent to pick him up only said that his wife wanted to see her.Mrs. Cao Yong is Princess Gege, and the Han Jiang family is a little curious in anticipation.

After a while, Han Jiangshi heard footsteps outside, and someone said: "Why do you sprinkle water at this hour, be careful of the slippery road!"

It was Cao Yong's voice, Han Jiangshi got up from the chair, and saw Cao Yong helping a young woman walk in from the door.

The woman was eighteen or nine years old, fair complexion, slightly plump, with a smile on her face.She combed her hair twice, and wore a slightly loose pine-colored flag dress, but instead of flag shoes, she wore soft-soled short boots.

Han Jiang looked at Chu Yu, and Chu Yu also looked at Han Jiang inadvertently. Seeing her slender figure, beautiful face, plain clothes, and only two pearl flowers on her head, she looked very demure and beautiful, and she couldn't help but praise her in her heart. .

Cao Yong helped Chuyu into the hall, then put down his arms, and said to Han Jiang: "This is my wife!" Then he turned his head to Chuyu and said, "This is Mrs. Cheng's niece, Mrs. Han! "

Han Jiang's blessing was neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "Little lady has seen Madam, please greet Madam!"

Chu Yu nodded back and said, "Mrs. Han, you don't need to be polite, please sit down and talk!"

Han Jiang agreed, but he didn't sit down right away, but waited for Cao Yong and Chu Yu, the two masters, to sit down, and Fang took a step back and sat upright.

When Chu Yu saw that she kept her eyes straight when she spoke and acted, and her body was upright, she respected her more in her heart, and did not despise her because of her business background.

Cao Yong sat next to Chu Yu, and said to Han Jiang: "Have you made a date for Mr. Cheng to go south?"

Han Jiangshi bowed his head and replied: "Master Cao is thinking about it, uncle has already booked to leave on the 26th..."
