v4 Chapter 10: Dong Chenghu is enlightened, Shen Yes complaints
"Miss again? What the **** is going on? She didn't make it clear in her letter last time, and I'm still at a loss! It's just that I'm not in a hurry. I didn't ask, just when you came, tell me about the situation at home!" Dong Chenghu arrested Shen Ye but the intelligence officer, judging from his posture, he must have heard satisfactory news from Shen Ye's mouth. .
Shen Ye gave Dong Chenghu a helpless look, but fortunately his temper is different from Yang Yi, he is still talkative, or it would be really embarrassing to be forced by Dong Chenghu like this.
"Young Master Cheng, everything is going well at home, Madam found out she was pregnant after you left, and gave birth to a daughter in November of the year you went out. That year happened to be a drought. , the weather began to change in November, and it continued to be gloomy for more than ten days without seeing rain. On the day when the young lady was born, there was a sudden lightning and thunder in the sky, and the wind and rain were violent. As soon as the young lady was born, it began to rain.
My master said it was an auspicious sign, and everyone said the same, but Mrs. Zun doesn't seem to like growing up with this name, so she won't let the family talk about it, now the lady has After one year old, she looks very cute and Yuxue. My master's favorite now is the young lady, and Mrs. Zun also named the young lady Dong Qinyan.
A box of rouge gouache costs 15 taels, a soap costs 22 taels, and a box of tooth powder costs 22 taels. I heard that when it first opened, the people in the county town said that the lady was so poor that the lion opened its mouth.
But Mrs. doesn't matter, the shop is still open. Later, Miss Pei's family, Pei Zhongqing, went to the county town and couldn't stop after entering Mrs. Zun's powder shop. According to Mrs. Zun's words, it is the daily gold.
It is not good for her growth, so it is inevitable that she will have more preference and pity for the young lady. "
Dong Chenghu sounded completely stupid, that daughter was really born to him by Gu Shuixiu! He had always thought that it was Shui Xiu who gave it to someone, just like Zhang Xingchi and the others, but they didn't have a daughter, so Shui Xiu recognized it directly and raised it as his own daughter. Also, Shuixiu is so brave to open such a shop. He has been in Linhai County for so long, and he has some understanding of the shops. The price of such a shop like Shuixiu is so expensive. I'm afraid that when I started, it was not ordinary difficult!
Shen Ye couldn't see his true emotions, muttered for a long time, and suddenly said: "By the way, Master Cheng, Madam said that Linhai County is near the sea, and there should be a lot of pearls for sale. , She needs a lot of pearls to make rouge gouache, no matter how good or bad, you can see if you can collect some for her, the ones that are not in good condition will be made, and they are not used to make jewelry, and no one else knows."
Dong Chenghu was stunned when he heard it, is this true? A box of rouge gouache that sold for fifteen taels was actually made of pearls of poor quality! Although pearls with poor quality are not cheap, they are nothing compared to the rouge gouache in a box of fifteen taels.
Dong Chenghu pondered for a long time, and said with difficulty: "Shuixiu uses pearls of poor quality to make rouge gouache, and it is sold for such an expensive price, will it be known..."
Dong Chenghu swears that he is not suspicious of Gu Shuixiu, nor is he dissatisfied with her actions, just worried that if she is known to do so, it will cause public outrage, and when something goes wrong or is injured, Oh no.
Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Young Master Cheng, you can't compare to Mrs. Zun in this way of doing business. Business talents, this rouge gouache is mainly made of pearl powder. No matter what the fineness of the pearls, its efficacy is always the same. In addition, whether it is for external use or internal use, it makes no difference. The color is still not good, and it will eventually be ground into powder.
And a good pearl may cost more than ten taels, or even dozens of taels, and the best pearls may be thousands of taels, and a pearl of poor quality can be sold for one or two taels. It’s expensive, Mrs. Zun only needs five or six small pearls and three or four larger pearls for a box of rouge gouache. You can buy it out of abundance. The cost of a box of rouge gouache is only two or three taels of silver. , what will be done? "
Shen Ye took a good time to settle an account for Dong Chenghu, and then he sipped his tea slowly, with a contented expression on his face, which was really not polite at all.
Dong Chenghu took a long time to digest Shen Ye's words, and frowned: "How do you know so much?"
Dong Chenghu's eyes saw Shen Ye feel uncomfortable for a while, he quickly put down the tea cup in his hand, and explained: "Mr. Cheng, I have to complain about this subordinate, although we are ordered to I went to your house to protect that person, but Madam Zun doesn’t treat us like outsiders. She always asks us to help. We will go to the fields for spring ploughing, and we will go to the fields for autumn harvest. We should rest during this period. .
But Mrs. Zun does not! Let us take turns to patrol the fields and help with the farm work, or we are instructed to squeeze oil, or to ask Brother Dong Yi to take us out to hunt, or let us be bodyguards, escorting people in the mountains, you see Me, look at my face, before I went to your house, I was called a white-faced little boy, even my son would not let me stay in the sun for more than half a day. Since I arrived at your house, look at my skin, and say that I fell into the mud pit, there must be people who believe me! "
Shen Ye stretched out his hands without any grievances, and presented his face in front of Dong Chenghu, like a little daughter-in-law who was angry, Dong Chenghu felt a chill in his heart, I don't know how Shen Ziping can follow such a wonderful flower. Could it be that the dark guards are all so virtuous?
Not waiting for Dong Chenghu to finish slandering, Shen Ye then complained: "It's okay, we all endure it, it stands to reason that your family also has livestock, and those donkeys are not raised in vain, But Mrs. Zun even asked us to help her grind pearl powder, euphemistically, donkeys have to do heavy work, and donkeys are overkill for grinding pearl powder, so what are we!"
