Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 657 Negotiation (3)
"Pomegranate, bring me the green box I bought at Cuihua Building just now. I have an easy to forget memory, so I have to ask you to make another trip and spend the second time."

Wen Shi wanted to say something but hesitated, patted his head slightly, and ordered Pomegranate to open the item he bought just now. Inside was a small corolla inlaid with gemstones. It looked luxurious and exquisite. It was shipped from the open sea. There is only this one in Hualou, and Wen Shi has already ordered to give it to Qingli as a gift. She saw that it was too simple with the girl's headdress, so she knew that the girl was a lazy person and didn't like the rich and expensive dress full of jewels and emeralds. It is good, and it should be changed.

"Here, Xiaoli, this is for you, because there is only one, so there is no choice."

Wen Shi pushed the box in front of Qingli, with anticipation in her eyes, she is getting old, and she doesn't know what these delicate little girls like, she has to think about it for a long time every time she sends something, and even asks the maid to find out Kyoto trendy style.

On the other hand, Qingli, every time she gives a gift, it can be delivered to her heart. She loves peonies only. No matter the head jewelry, dresses, gauze curtains on the bed, screens and other objects, it is just a small fan, and the embroidered surface is also beautiful. There must be peonies.

A few days ago, Qingli gave Wen's a double-sided embroidered screen. The base of the screen is made of red sandalwood produced in the space. It is made by old craftsmen with the best craftsmanship in their home furnishing shop. The screen is double-sided embroidered. The advantage is that, You can put it on any side.

"Aunt Wen, I like it very much!"

Qingli took over the small corolla and held it in his hand to appreciate it carefully. The gemstones on it were colorful, a bit like modern retro and beautiful European jewelry. It seemed that the workmanship was better than modern ones, not so much craftsmanship, and he held it in his hand It doesn't sink, that's what she values ​​most.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, in order to show their wealth, the ladies of the official family had to wear at least two red hairpins on their heads. Qingli hated the feeling of being pressed heavily on her head, and most of the time she only wore one, but This one is usually high-quality goods, low-key luxury, so as not to be looked down upon by those snobbish ladies, and to talk about things.

"It's good if you like it, but it's a pity that there's only one, otherwise you can buy a few more and wear them differently."

There are no cheap jewelry produced by Cuihua Building. Wen's generous purchase is also because of the generous dowry given by her natal family back then, and it mainly relies on the storefront. Just by renting it out, she can get back tens of thousands of taels of silver every year.

"Aunt Wen, you can't always think about me, you have to buy a few things you need."

Qingli was slightly moved. This flower crown should cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. It was a little bit reluctant for Wen Shi to spend so much money. Wen Shi himself did not wear such jewelry, so what moved Qingli was not the amount of silver that could be given to her. , is this feeling of being remembered.

The two rested for a while, and Wen invited Qingli to the residence of the General Protecting the Country as a guest. Since she didn't need to go to the academy, she would send someone to the village to inform her. The two of them still wanted to discuss the matter of craftsmen, so they nodded in agreement. When they went back to General Zhongwu's mansion at night, they could still see eldest brother and Li Moxuan.

Without a carriage, it was too inconvenient to travel, so Qingli and Wenshi got into the carriage together, and asked Lu Jin to sit in the driving space in front, and they went all the way to the General Protector's Mansion smoothly.

Chunyu Fan was frowning in the study. He just got the news that wars were raging in the south. The small country in the south was not satisfied after occupying Muyang. In the past two days, he made a new move and launched an attack on the surrounding cities. The people of Dazhou were panicked. Yang's fall has affected the morale of the army, and now Emperor Hongde has no imperial edict to issue, only relying on the grain, grass and wound medicine delivered by Qingli, struggling to support, the soldiers are also a little panicked, I am afraid that they will still be hungry like a few days ago Belly danger.

Over the years, Dazhou and Daqin have been at constant friction. All the silver taels earned by Cuihualou in the open sea have been put into it. To feed the 30 troops in the north, and Pingyang City is bitterly cold, the silver for purchasing cotton clothes every year has to be budgeted at 10 taels. , as well as food, herbs, daily supplies, and war horses. Emperor Hongde hardly pays taxes here in Pingyang, and he and the fourth prince Yelu Chuyang are solely responsible for the support of the army. Emperor Hongde just turned a blind eye and closed his eyes. only eye.

There have been changes on the border of Daqin. Soldiers who have been investigating recently saw that Daqin is preparing wooden planks for crossing the bridge. The border between Dazhou and Daqin is mainly separated by a big river. Cross the river and go to the other side to harass Dazhou. Recently, Dazhou has been closed and ready to fight at any time, but it is summer now. If you want to cross the river, you need planks and a series of tools. Start preparing now , It can be seen that we can't wait for winter.

After Qingli greeted Wen Shi, she first went to Chunyu's yard. Wangcai was the same as usual, squatting under a tree with a dejected expression on his face. He hadn't seen any red carp recently. His young master also wanted him to rest for a day, so he went to see it. Look, it's a pity that it's been raining recently, he was worried about the young master's legs, and asked him to help with the medicine, so he didn't go, now the weather is getting better, and the young master didn't mention this, Wangcai muttered, looking very conflicted.

"Wangcai, why don't you go down and get ready?"

Qingli stood at the door and yelled, Wangcai stood up lazily, and saluted, "Young Madam, you are here, Wangcai is going to bring you herbal tea, do you want the jasmine flavor or the mint flavor? of?"

"You don't need to serve tea, you pack your things and go to Zhuangzi for me and tell me, I won't go back at night, I will go back to my residence."

In order to take care of Wangcai, Qingli gave him a good job, and also wanted to talk to Chunyu Wen for a while, Wangcai shouldn't be in the way, these business secrets don't want outsiders to hear, even if he knows he won't say it.

"Young Madam, are you serious? Send me to Zhuangzi to deliver a message?"

Wangcai immediately straightened his back, his small thief eyes gleamed with joy, he rubbed his hands, a little unbelieving, and reconfirmed, "Is this true?"

"No, I lied to you."

Qingli waved her hand, ignored the dumbfounded Wangcai, and walked quickly into the side hall, seeing that Chunyu was not there, she went straight inside.

When Chunyu Wen heard the footsteps, his heart jumped twice. He stood up. It has been raining for the past two days, and he learned that she was in a fishing village in the northern suburbs of Kyoto. , I always felt awkward, if he hadn't been injured, how could he not be able to avoid the darts, which made him lose such a big face, so he has been very active in taking medicine recently, and he wanted to wait for Mo Zigui to have a good test after he recovered. .

"Why is your face so red? Is it because it's too hot?"

Chunyu Wen took Qingli's hand, and put a palm on her cheek to touch, the scalding heat made Qingli look more shy, her long curly eyelashes blinked, her eyes Glowing with water, bright and clear, every time he saw her expression like this, he wanted to press her under his body and swallow her early.
