In Shu Shu's Silver Building, this year's longevity gift has also been prepared.

Before, Ninth Brother gave away Jinshan and Jin Ruyi, but this year it became a bonsai.

A bucket of ginger mountain.

The outer barrel is made of red sandalwood, and the ginger in the middle is pure gold.

They are not small, about two feet tall, and are the kind that are placed in corners or on tables in rooms.

Four hundred and eighty taels of gold were used.

On the fifth day of March, the bonsai was put in a brocade box and carried into the prince's mansion.

Shu Shu looked at it and couldn't move his eyes away.

It’s golden, who doesn’t love it?

The color of gold is shiny and a bit frivolous, but it is much neutralized by the decoration of red sandalwood flower pots.

Placed there, it is eye-catching and low-key.

Brother Jiu couldn't put it down when he saw it. He pointed his thumb at Shu Shu and said: "That's great. I think this is more popular with Khan Ama than Jin Ruyi and Jinshan..."

The ginger mountain made of gold is stable and evergreen.

If there were thousands of pure gold in future generations, Shu Shu wouldn't be able to ask others to do this.

Because Thousand Pure Gold is too soft, it will be a pit when bumped.

The best gold smelted now has a purity of 985, that is, 985 parts of gold, 15 parts of copper and other metals out of a thousand parts.

However, there is very little gold like that, and they are all artifacts made in-house or kept in the palace.

Most of the gold sold in silver houses on the market is 90% gold.

The hardness of 90% gold is very reliable and the color is still golden.

Shu Shu said: "Xiaotangshan Palace is a gift this year. Let me think about what to give next year."

This Jiangshan was a private act of filial piety, but the overt birthday gift was the Xiaotangshan Palace given to him by the prince and other princes.

Brother Jiu, however, looked confident and said: "I told Cao Yueying that he would ask Cao Quan for the paintings of Khan Ama during his southern tour, and then he would weave the carpets at the wool farm..."

As a palace guard, Cao Quan also accompanied the Hu on the southern tour the year before last. However, the ninth elder brother heard from Cao Shun that his mother was not doing his job and drew many pictures of the southern tour.

Southern tour...

Shu Shu felt that compared with riding a carriage, riding a boat was the most comfortable.

She whispered to Brother Jiu: "Sir, are there cultivation palaces everywhere in Jiangnan?"

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "What's wrong with this? The officials and people in Jiangnan are looking forward to Khan Amma's next southern tour..."

The Holy Spirit made a tour to the south, the Jiangnan rural examination quota was increased, and local tax exemptions were reduced, all of which were favored places.

However, the businessman suffered a loss at this time and became the target of blackmail.

In the name of building a palace to welcome the Holy Emperor, the local government took a lot of money from merchants.

Shu Shu said: "Then this time interval should not be too long. I will work hard in the second half of the year and don't let the emperor find fault. When I go back to visit the south, I might still be able to benefit from it."

Brother Ninth is also thinking about Jiangnan, and the couple is still struggling with the matter of raising pearls.

They wanted to take a trip to Taihu Lake. When they were in Suzhou before, they had been to the edge of Taihu Lake.

Taihu Lake is famous for its bandits...
