My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.
Chapter 121: Bride Gift, Dowry Protection
Ye Qinghuan came out of Cuibaoxuan and went to the cloth shop.
Old Xu was sitting behind the counter with a lot on his mind, in a daze, and didn't even notice someone coming in.
"Uncle Xu."
Ye Qinghuan called out, and Old Xu finally woke up from his dream: "The Second Miss is here?"
"Except for the hanging fish pattern, all other fabrics can be sold." Ye Qinghuan said, "Wait half a month, and then sell the hanging fish pattern as well."
"Great! It's winter now, just in time to make new clothes before the New Year." Lao Xu became excited and immediately ordered to start stocking the goods and promoting them.
Ye Qinghuan asked in surprise: "There is still publicity?"
"Isn't that so? The head of the family once said that even good wine needs to be well-known. Good things must be famous so that more people can know about them." Old Xu said with a smile.
Ye Qinghuan took note of it silently.
Old Xu suddenly noticed the necklace on Ye Qinghuan's neck: "Did the second young lady also go to Cui Bao Xuan to buy pearls?"
"This was sent by Concubine Su. But I did just come from Cuibaoxuan."
"Second miss..."
"Uncle Xu, please speak directly if you have anything to say."
Old Xu rubbed his hands hesitantly and asked, "Second Miss, what do you think of the pearls from Cui Bao Xuan?"
"The best in the world." Ye Qinghuan said.
"But how come so many top-quality pearls suddenly appeared in this world?" Lao Xu asked again.
Ye Qinghuan thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps someone has been buying pearls for a long time, hoarding the best quality ones, just to make a name for themselves in Shengjing."
"The age of pearls also matters. Pearls like the one on Miss Second's neck are at least ten years old."
"You understand?"
"I don't really understand, but I heard some of it from Miss Bai before."
"The Bai family has a pearl business?"
"No. But Miss Bai is very interested in pearls. If she hadn't gotten married, she would have taken a boat south to cultivate pearls! Miss Bai said that the further south you go, the warmer the weather will be. If you're lucky, you may even find colorful pearls."
"Cultivate pearls?" Ye Qinghuan was stunned. "These pearls can actually be cultivated artificially?"
Lao Xu said, "I don't really understand, but Miss Bai never lies. I think she can definitely be raised."
"How to raise it?"
"This, I don't know."
Chunyan served hot tea, Ye Qinghuan sipped it slowly, and a bold idea formed in his mind.
Is it possible that pearl farming is a technology that I developed, but for some reason, the technology was leaked?
And those colorful pearls that Boss Bai is reluctant to sell come from the "warm south" that my mother mentioned?
"Second Miss, when I think of the pearls in Cuibaoxuan, I think of Miss Bai. Please don't be surprised." Lao Xu also said.
"It's okay. You can tell me directly anything related to my mother." Ye Qinghuan smiled, and his surging emotions had calmed down.
Maybe her guess was too outrageous, but it was certain that all of Mr. Bai’s pearls were artificially grown.
Therefore, the quantity is large, the quality is good, and the cost of pearl fishing is low.
Everyone thought that Boss Bai was selling pearls at a low price, but in fact he was making a fortune.
More likely, the initial low-price sale was just to open up the market...
This Boss Bai is becoming more and more curious.
And his relationship with Shen Rong...
"Uncle Xu, can you find a way to contact Mr. Bai who sells pearls?" Ye Qinghuan asked.
Lao Xu thought for a moment and said, "We are all businessmen. Although we are not in the same industry, we will meet at some chamber of commerce events. I will give it a try."
……
The new cloth from Linglong Cloth Shop cannot compete with the popularity of Pearl, so the initial sales volume will not be optimistic.
Ye Qinghuan was mentally prepared.
But she didn't expect that *** was also attracted to visit Cuibaoxuan.
Moreover, she went there wearing new clothes with auspicious animal patterns.
***As a benchmark of Shengjing fashion, it quickly boosted the business of Linglong Cloth Shop.
For this, Ye Qinghuan praised him highly in Fushouyuan: "Thanks to ***, my cloth shop business has improved."
"The Queen is blessed with great fortune. If my third brother can marry the Princess Jiahe, I am willing to hand over the housekeeper's power."
"..."
Old Madam Shen felt very pleased to hear this, but she cunningly did not express her opinion.
The marriage is not decided yet, so it is too early to talk about housekeeping rights. As long as Ye Qinghuan has this intention, it is enough.
"Third brother, what do you think of Princess Jiahe?" Ye Qinghuan asked.
"Innocent and lovely, like a flawless jade, untainted by the world." Shen Rong said.
Ye Qinghuan and Old Madam Shen smiled at each other and said, "Mother, since Third Brother likes you, please choose a day to propose marriage!"
"Rong'er, is it okay?" asked Old Madam Shen.
Shen Rong nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "It's up to mother to arrange."
"Good good!"
Old Madam Shen was overjoyed.
She had been secretly planning for so long, and now she could finally take action.
"Qinghuan, pick out a few things from your warehouse and give them to Rong'er as a betrothal gift." Old Madam Shen said.
Ye Qinghuan thought of Shen Lin's instructions and said, "Okay, wait for the general to come back and ask him for the key to open it."
"Hey, why is your warehouse key in Lin'er's hand?" asked Old Madam Shen in surprise.
"I don't know. The general wanted it and I couldn't win over him, so I gave it to him." Ye Qinghuan was vague about the reason.
Old Madam Shen said: "This Lin'er is too outrageous. How can a man take a woman's dowry?"
The man present - Shen Rong's eyes flashed coldly, and he quickly laughed: "Yes, how can a man take a woman's dowry? So mother, don't touch the second sister-in-law's dowry. If it gets out, people will laugh at you."
Old Madam Shen: ………
My face hurts!
"Mother, just prepare according to my second brother's share for me. If there is less, I will add more." Shen Rong said.
Old Madam Shen was touched by her youngest son's thoughtfulness and wiped her eyes, "My Rong'er is really sensible. You have been treating your leg all these years, how can you have any private property? Don't worry, I will give the betrothal gifts to you."
"Thank you, mother." Shen Rong lowered his eyes.
Ye Qinghuan let out a long sigh of relief: "Congratulations, Third Brother, you're going to get married soon."
"I'll have to trouble my second sister-in-law to take care of the affairs in the mansion." Shen Rong said.
"A grand event must be celebrated in a grand manner. Once the proposal is successful, I will mobilize my second and third aunts as well to ensure that everything is prepared." Ye Qinghuan showed in every way that he was willing to let Shen Rong marry Princess Jiahe.
Su Jinxiu was so angry that she stopped her in the garden and asked, "Madam, do you really want to support them?"
"I have met Princess Jiahe, she is a very good girl. She is innocent and kind, does not like to play with power, and does not care about money." Ye Qinghuan said.
"Even so, once she gets married, the power of the General's Mansion will no longer be in the Madam's hands. If she doesn't take care of it, someone else will take care of it for her!" Su Jinxiu advised earnestly.
Ye Qinghuan sighed: "Sister Su, I really can't interfere in this matter. I can only let nature take its course."
"Madam, I said last time that there is a way..."
"Sister Su, don't hurt her."
Ye Qinghuan interrupted Su Jinxiu.
If you have a way to do it, just do it. Why do you always nag me about it?
First, I don’t want to listen to your advice, and second, I don’t want to be your knife.
*** intends to facilitate this marriage, and whoever stands in the way will die!
Su Jinxiu was not willing to give up. Looking at Ye Qinghuan's determined back, she finally made up her mind - to do it herself!
For Brother Lin, she is willing to do whatever it takes!
