Chapter 1146 Caring Sister

The night was deep, and the bright moon came out completely. The insects in the grass stopped screaming and fell asleep.

"Wow..." A loud voice pierced the silent night sky and woke up Liu'er who was sleeping.

Liu'er opened her eyes, and asked Youxin blankly, "How did I hear the baby crying?"

You Xin said with a smile: "Second princess, you forgot, the eldest princess brought her brother here, and she is sleeping in the main hall now!" Because Zaozao is the eldest sister, she lives in the main hall, while Liu'er lives in the side hall. Even after Zao Zao got married, Liu Er did not move to live in the main hall.

Liu'er was also drowsy. Hearing this, she said, "Why are you still crying in the middle of the night? Go and see what's going on? Do you need help?"

Putting on new clothes again, she went out, and came back after a while: "Second Princess, Mother Zeng said that my brother is hungry, and he will continue to sleep after eating milk."

Liu'er no longer felt sleepy, leaned on the bed and said, "Do you think it's so difficult to take care of children?" She cried during the day and at night, and she felt a headache when she heard it, let alone the eldest sister who brought the child up. But she knew that Zao Zao was the most impatient.

Youxin smiled and said, "Second Princess, Master Tao is easy to take care of. I heard that some children turn black and white upside down, sleep during the day and play at night, and that's the trouble."

"That's all good, so what's bad?" Thinking about living such a life, Liu'er shuddered a little.

"The most fearful thing is that the child is not in good health. He always gets sick, and that's why he torments others." Children with poor health are prone to premature death. This is an adult, how can I feel at ease.

She weighed less than four catties when she was born, and Brother Rui, who weighed the most when the triplets were born, only weighed about three catties. Changsheng was born at full term and in good health, so it is so difficult to take care of her. One can imagine how difficult it is to raise her and the triplets. Liu'er said: "Mother has really suffered a lot in raising us. From now on, I will be more filial to Mother."

After chatting for a while, Liu'er fell asleep again. When I got up, it was already dawn.

Going out to see Zao Zao who was practicing sword, Liu'er was stunned: "Eldest sister, why did you wake up so early?" The child cried and nursed at night, shouldn't he take the opportunity to catch up on sleep in the morning, why did he wake up earlier than her.

Zaozao put away the sword and said with a smile: "I woke up and couldn't sleep, so I came out to practice swords." Originally, Zaozao thought about confinement and started practicing kung fu, but Yuxi stopped her. I was also worried that practicing too early would cause sequelae later on. After all, Yuxi agreed to let her practice after forty-five days.

After wiping off his sweat, Zao Zao said, "I'll talk about anything later." After speaking, he continued to practice.

Liu Er admired this unremitting perseverance: "My eldest sister will definitely get what she wants in the future." With her eldest sister's hard work, she will definitely become a female general.

You Xin said with a smile: "Second Princess, you will also get what you want."

"What kind of ambition is that?" Her ambition is to take care of her husband, teach her children, and live a life of peace and happiness. In this world, there are countless women who think like her, but there are basically none like her elder sister.

The wedding is approaching, Liu'er now only needs to be responsible for eating, sleeping, and resting every day. The other things were taken over by Yuxi and Qihao brothers.

In a blink of an eye, it's time to add makeup. This time, the presents given by everyone were all decorative objects such as jewelry or screens, and they did not receive exotic objects such as swords, bows and arrows like when Zao Zao was married.

Lu Xiu gave Liu Er the same makeup items as Zao Zao, six sapphires and six rubies.

Liu'er looked at it and touched the gems and said, "Second Aunt, these gems are so beautiful, I want to buy more. I wonder if Second Aunt has a connection?" They are sisters, but Lu Xiu's hand is too big Some, Liu'er felt that something was wrong.

Hearing this, Lu Xiu smiled and said: "I don't know how much the second princess wants? If not much, I still have some in hand. If you want to buy more, I'll send someone to Fujian to buy them for you." In the seafood business, she opened the largest dried seafood store in Pick City and the capital, and Lu Xiu has made a lot of money these years.

Because she lived in the Duke's Mansion before, she didn't dare to spend a lot of money because she was afraid of being criticized. After the separation, she no longer has these scruples. Anyway, she spent her own money.

Liu Er didn't hide anything, and said with a smile: "I want to buy a batch of gems to make jewelry."

Lu Xiu is also a good person, and said with a smile: "Is it for the fourth prince's jewelry shop?" She knew that Liu'er had a lot of jewelry, and it is not an exaggeration to say that those jewelry can be worn by Liu'er all year round.

Liu Er nodded with a smile: "You can't do nothing, just sit at home and wait for the dividend."

In the past, Yuxi was busy, so Lu Xiu took Liu'er's outings to socialize and entertain. Therefore, Lu Xiu and Liu'er were more moved: "Does the Fourth Prince know about this?"

"I haven't told him yet."

After all, Lu Xiu is an elderly person, and she thinks more: "It's not appropriate to meddle in the jewelry shop rashly, it's better to discuss this matter with the Fourth Prince first."

Liu Er smiled and said, "I can make the decision."

Lu Xiuyu said earnestly: "When it comes to money, even siblings must settle it clearly. If you don't know, it's fine now. When you all get married, it's easy to hurt your relationship." That's why I said Brothers understand the reason for the settlement.

Knowing that Lu Xiu was doing her best, Liu'er said with a smile: "Thank you, Second Aunt, for reminding me, I will ask Ah You later." She believed that Brother You would definitely agree.

Lu Xiu smiled and said: "When you have finished the discussion, I will help you contact the dealer." In the jewelry business, gems don't matter how big or small they are. Because the big one has a big use, and the small one has a small use.

Xiang Zixin knew that the makeup that Lu Xiu gave Liu'er was twelve gemstones, so she almost gnawed her silver teeth into pieces.

After returning home, it happened that Han Jianming was there. Xiang Zixin couldn't care less about the taboo, and told Han Jianming about it. But Xiang Zixin is quite smart, she didn't directly say that Lu Xiu was greedy for her father's money, but said in a roundabout way: "Master, my brother and sister are very generous. If I give away the things at the bottom of the box, they are not worth a penny of hers." The value of gems."

Han Jianming smiled and said, "Your brother and sister's dry goods shop is very profitable, you can't compare with her." The Qiu family also opened a seafood dry goods shop before, but after that it was closed and Lu Xiu took over. It's just that, she didn't say it.

"Master, I also want to open a shop." Although Mrs. Xiang is in charge of general affairs now, there is a quota for the expenditure of the mansion. The kitchen and the shoppers are all members of the Qiu family, and Xiang Zixin dared not touch them after learning the lesson from the past. So Xiang took care of the general affairs and worked hard, but he couldn't get much money.

While teasing Brother Ye, Han Jianming said, "If you want to do business, you don't need to tell me." Scholars pay attention to holding grandchildren and not children. But Yunqing even changed the baby's diaper by himself, so Han Jianming no longer sticks to formalities. In addition to spending time with Qiu Shi, he only spends time with his son in his spare time.

Xiang's expression froze, and after a while, he said: "Master, what kind of business do you think is good? I have limited capital, and I can't do big business." In fact, she was afraid of losing money, and she managed to save two thousand taels in her hand. In case of loss, it is equivalent to cutting her flesh.

Han Jianming is not a very considerate person. Hearing this, he said, "Go ask your mother, she is very good at doing business." He was able to live a life of splendid clothes and books when he was a child. Of course, Yuxi is also a beneficiary who insists.

Xiang was extremely disappointed. Qiu Shi doesn't care about things at all now, even if she asks, she won't get any substantive help.

After a pause, Han Jianming said again: "It's fine to do business, but you can't ignore Aye."

Fu Tuan came in and said to the two of them: "Master, Madam, the old lady sent someone to invite you over."

When the couple arrived at the Upper Court, they saw Qiu's expression of joy. Han Jianming sat beside Qiu Shi and asked with a smile, "Mother, what's the happy event?"

Qiu said with a smile: "Our family is going to add another population soon." She looked at Zhong Minxiu and said, "Axiu has it, almost three months."

A smile also appeared on Han Jianming's face: "This is indeed a happy event." The prosperity of a family depends on people.

Qiu praised Zhong Minxiu, then looked at Xiang Zixin and said, "You should also give brother Ye a brother and sister." Brother Ye is almost three years old, and Xiang Zixin's stomach has not moved at all.

Xiang Zixin was aggrieved when she heard this. She thought about it too, but there was nothing she could do.

Han Jianming changed the topic: "Mom, this kind of thing depends on fate!" Not to mention that he has a granddaughter, but Xiang Zixin has already given birth to a brother Ye, and he really doesn't care if he can have another one in the future.

Back in her own yard, Zhong Minxiu rubbed her stomach and said, "I hope this is a son." She withstood the tremendous pressure to get through this year. If this baby is not a son, the pressure will be even greater.

He Hua hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't worry, this baby must belong to a brother."

Zhong Minxiu smiled and said, "I hope!"

That night, Liu'er approached Brother You about the gems: "Ayou, the price of buying gems from Fujian is nearly 40% cheaper than in Beijing."

Brother Yu nodded and said, "Mr. Pang once said that there are a lot of precious stones in Fanren. We can exchange a few high-quality and large stones for a can of high-quality tea or a set of exquisite porcelain here."

A set of exquisite official kiln porcelain is only one hundred and eighty taels of silver. But a big and good gemstone is worth thousands of taels of silver. It can be seen how amazing this profit is: "Is this how much money is made?"

Brother Yu nodded and said, "Yes! But it's not easy for sea merchants to earn this money." Not to mention typhoons, tsunami and pirates, some people died on board within a few months. It can be said that this is a life-threatening struggle.

No matter what you do, it's not easy. Liu'er said: "Ayou, the jade jewelry sold in your jewelry store is not bad, but the gold and silver jewelry is very ordinary, and there are not many gem jewelry." After a pause, Liu'er said: "Ayou, you Have you ever thought about taking the high-end route? In this way, you will earn more money in the future.”

Brother You said with a smile: "Of course I want to, but I don't have time! Second sister, you also know that I am preparing for the gouache shop recently, and then I have to work every day. I really don't have time to take care of the jewelry shop. "If the errands are not done well, the emperor's father will definitely not let him do business. But his energy and time are limited, and it is impossible to cover everything.

Liu Er smiled and said: "If you don't mind, I will take care of the jewelry shop for you temporarily. I will return the jewelry to you when your gouache shop is on the right track."

"Second Sister, isn't this appropriate? You're going to get married in a few days, how can you have time?" Just got married, and it's time for honey to adjust oil, so how can I have time to take care of these chores.

Liu Er laughed and said: "It takes a while to buy gemstones, and it takes a month or two to hire skilled craftsmen." After two months, she has time to take care of the jewelry shop.

Brother Yu said with a smile: "Second sister can take over this matter, then I will be much more relaxed. Second sister, I can't let you be busy, I will give you 10% of the shares."

Waving her hands, Liu'er said, "No need. I'm also one of the shareholders, so I should do my best for the shop."

"Really don't want it?"

Liu'er laughed and said: "I still need these two money, can I spend it?" The dowry given by her parents is enough for her life, so how could she be short of money.

Thinking that the richest members of the family are Zao Zao and Liu Er, Brother You is no longer pretentious: "Okay, tell me what the second sister wants to do in the future. Don't dare to boast about it, and there is nothing wrong with running errands." question."

"I'll remember that!" I have no plans to open a shop for the time being, but no one can say for sure what will happen in the future.

On the way back to Funing Palace, Brother You felt a little emotional. I thought that when I was young, I always accused him of being tricky, but at that time I really hated this second sister to death. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be so caring now. Or mother is right, breaking the bones and connecting the tendons! Even if there are conflicts, the brothers and sisters are still reliable at critical moments.

It's a pity that to Feng Zhixi, his sister is not only uncaring, but also embarrassing.

After reading Liu'er's dowry, Feng Lianwu said: "The elder sister-in-law's dowry is all 128 levies, why is the second princess's dowry only 108 levies?" Just speak out your doubts.

But when other people heard this, they thought she was talking about a princess with less dowry than the lady of the Duke's Mansion. This means that the emperor and queen are not as generous as the Korean princes.

Qi Qi said with a smile: "The eldest princess didn't want a dowry back then. The empress had a lot to say, so the eldest princess agreed to ask for a dowry of 108 levies. As a younger sister, the second princess naturally couldn't surpass the eldest princess."

She didn't even want a dowry, and Feng Lianwu said that the eldest princess was a fool.

After a pause, Qiqi said again: "Although the second princess's dowry is not much, but the dowry items are all of great value." Not to mention anything else, the furniture is all made by the best craftsmen in the world .

Feng Lianwu nodded and said: "That's true. The screen inlaid with four treasures of huanghuali wood may not be able to buy even ten thousand taels of silver." Ivory and pearls. When Feng Lianwu saw the screen, her eyes almost popped out.

The smile on Qi Qi's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Eldest sister, such a screen cannot be made without thirty thousand taels of silver." With money, such a screen may not be made. But few people know this skill nowadays. The screen that Liu'er married as a dowry was also a confiscated spoil.

Feng Lianwu was speechless.
