Chapter 354 Pearl?! (Month
With the decree of Kangxi's arrival in Guangdong and Guangxi, Yin Genjueluo and Qingyan both started to make a light plan and let the people below buy it. In addition, they also cleaned up the most luxurious courtyards in the military port, preparing to arrange them according to the customs of Kangxi and Concubine Tong, and wait for the arrival of the two.
Dong E could only sit in the hall in embarrassment and serve as a foil for their sisters-in-law. Dong E was unwilling to accept it and was ready to teach them a lesson.
"Sister-in-law, fourth brother and sister, you might as well prepare some local characteristics and respect them to your mother. It is said that the pearls in Guangdong and Guangxi are very famous!" Dong E always wanted to go shopping, but Yinzhi didn't like to go out. In summer, the sun in Guangdong and Guangxi was the time to be strong.
The three of them were sunbathing at the same time, and Qingyan's skin was the whitest. Under the sun, her face turned red for a while and would immediately turn white.
"Pearl?!" Qing Yan and Yin Genjueluo stopped discussing, and the two looked at Dong E at the same time.
In the market in Guangdong and Guangxi, pearls with excellent quality are rare. Moreover, it may take a lot of time and experience to obtain the pearls with excellent quality.
"Yes, my mother will definitely like it. Xiaoguai, Linglongge will definitely be able to buy it!" Dong E's mouth changed and was about to settle the matter.
Puff!
Qingyan sneered that Dong E had the mentality of the superiors and had no understanding of the local market.
"Three brothers and sisters, if you don't know the matter, don't talk nonsense here!" Yin Genjueluo shook his head.
Since they arrived at the Guangdong-Guangzhou Military Port, they both often went out, but they had not seen the sea pearls with very good looks. They also said they would present them to Concubine Tong.
"Isn't it just a small task for the fourth brother and sister?" Dong E didn't care. Linglong Pavilion was the one who processed the head and face, so there must be these raw materials.
"Sanfujin, if you want to offer, you can buy it yourself, don't buy it in Linglong Pavilion, there is no such thing as there." Qingyan looked at Dong E, "And, those top-quality seawater pearls are hard to come by!"
Qingyan directly blocked the topic and would not interfere in this matter. Linglongge was also looking for pearls when he received the order from Qingyan. It has been almost a year since he had not yet gathered a string of bracelets.
"Forget it, if you don't want to offer, I'll just buy it!" The third concubine didn't care at all, thinking that Qingyan had repeatedly retreated and did not want her to show off.
"It's up to you!" Qing Yan said three words, not taking this matter to heart at all.
Three days later, the servants of Yinzhi's mansion bought a string of necklaces from the decoration shop outside. Dong E saw that the pearl necklace was of excellent quality, and not only proudly took it to Qingyan, he was ready to show off to the two of them.
"Hmph, aren't you able to find a necklace with excellent quality? Look at my string, isn't it very good?" Dong E opened the rosewood box and placed a string of golden pearl necklaces on the velvet cloth. Qingyan looked carefully and felt happy. This string was just fresh water pearls, not sea water pearls at all.
Yin Genjue Luo looked at Qingyan in confusion, and the latter shook his head at her. This string was not a sea water pearl.
"I told you, is this string of seawater pearls?" Qing Yan asked in a low voice.
Dong E nodded: "Of course, it was bought by the servants after a lot of effort. Why is it wrong?"
After the words came to an end, Dong E was worried that the banquet would be directly denied.
Even Concubine Rong said that Qingyan’s ability to distinguish ornaments was higher than that of the craftsmen in the inner craftsmen, so many palace concubines did not dare to offend Qingyan, worried that their heads would be fake, and it was more like asking Qingyan to help him take a look.
"Impossible, such pearls can only be freshwater pearls. There are very few seawater pearls, and even fewer golden ones!" Qing Yan took a pair of white gloves from her purse, put them on, and said, picking up the pearl necklace.
Dong E felt embarrassed in front of the Qing Banquet, so he directly held a grudge against the servant who bought the necklace.
"This is impossible. That slave is the daughter of the shopkeeper of the Dong E family. The family's skills are to distinguish the head!" Dong E firmly refused.
Qingyan put down the pearl necklace and shrugged her shoulders, not caring.
Dong E doesn't admit it, and he doesn't want to be that evil person either.
"Three Concubine, if you think it is true, please send it to your mother." Concubine Tong has many pearl necklaces. If she touched Tamsui Pearl, she would be clear at a glance.
Yin Genjueluo sat aside and took the light from the slave. There were a lot of things on it, which were very easy to use by Kangxi and Concubine Tong, but they were not available in Guangdong and Guangxi.
"Xiao Guai, can you get in these Yuelai Inns?" Yin Genjueluo asked.
Since receiving the order, the three of them would gather in the flower hall to do the job after breakfast. The servants reported the matter and they could discuss matters together.
However, Yin Genjue Luo and Qingyan were just making a decision, and Dong E could only sing the opposite tune with the two.
omg!
Looking at the list of Qingyan, there were more than a dozen kinds of things that were circled out, which were basically found in stores in the capital.
There is really no such thing in Guangdong and Guangxi, but if you ship from Beijing to Germany and Guangdong, it will take about 1 day to transport it from the sea.
"Maybe it's too late!" Qing Yan shook her head.
"Then it's transported from the capital!" Dong E interrupted again, Qingyan threw it over and rolled his eyes.
"The Three Concubines, the fastest shipping from Beijing to Guangdong and Guangxi is the fastest, and it will take 10 days. Now, it is already the 26th. If Emperor Ama comes on the 1st, how many days will it take?" Qingyan became angry.
Dong E obviously gave orders and did not care whether the people below could do it.
Yin Genjue Luo frowned slightly, what should I do?
"But let's go to the south of Jiangnan to take a look, there may be some!" The shopkeepers of Linglong Pavilion all communicated with each other, and it was clear what the other party had at a glance.
"Let the shopkeeper come here first. If there is one, we don't have to do anything like other ways!" Yin Gen felt that Luo had troubled Qingyan too many times, and also thought that the solution was feasible.
Dong E wanted to open his mouth, but was interrupted by the voice of Qingyan giving orders.
"Okay, you will know if there is one in about an hour!" Qing Yan rubbed his eyebrows, "Sister-in-law, what should we do if there isn't?"
"I changed the substitute directly here!" Yin Genjue Luo's family was helpless.
In Guangdong and Guangxi, many of the things are imported, and the Qing Dynasty did not produce them themselves.
"I'm going to be scolded again!" Qing Yan muttered in a low voice.
Puff!
Yin Genjueluo's tea was blown away: "You are so smart, your mother will protect you!"
"Fourth brother and sister, your unauthorized change may threaten the safety of Emperor Ama!" Dong E was not happy to relax in the banquet, so he started to mutter.
Chapter completed!
