The three of them drank a glass together to celebrate the upcoming new life.
The wet nurse was more familiar with the capital. Under her guidance, they bought some high-quality and inexpensive embroidery frames and other items, and then sent them to Dachun and Cuiping's residence.
It was a good opportunity to go and see where the two of them lived. Rather than saying it was in the outer city, it was actually at the very edge of the outer city, a little further away. It wasn't even considered the outer city because it was next to the city gate. The gate was quite small, and two people had to walk in shoulder to shoulder.
There is an open space of three square meters inside. It is called a yard, but in Jiang Tuantuan's opinion, it is just an aisle. In such a place, even a small sapling cannot be planted, and two pots of flowers can be placed.
The kitchen is on the left, the toilet is on the right, and the main house is in the middle.
The room was big enough to accommodate two people. Dachun lived on the far left and Cuiping lived on the far right. There was a small table and two stools in the middle for the two to use for their daily meals. There was also a small space next to it where embroidery frames and other items were placed. The whole room was full.
When Dachun saw Jiang Tuantuan coming, he quickly boiled some water because there was no tea at home to entertain guests. Cuiping took money from the box under the bed and prepared to go to the street to buy some.
But Jiang Tuantuan stopped him, "Don't bother, I'm just here to deliver something today and will be leaving soon. I'll be thinking of some clothes for you to make these next few days. I'll draw the blueprints and send them to you once I'm ready. Just wait."
"yes."
After walking out, on the street, Jiang Tuantuan asked the nanny, "How much would it cost to buy such a small house in the capital?"
The nurse said, "About seventy taels."
Jiang Tuantuan couldn't help but sigh, "Every inch of land is worth a lot of money."
As soon as I got home, I heard someone knocking on the door. Jiang Tuantuan was drawing a blueprint in the room. He frowned and went out to open the door.
It turned out to be Zhenzhu. Jiang Tuantuan relaxed his frown and asked, "But what's the matter with Mingman?"
Pearl said, "Our princess wants to ask Madam to come to the palace tomorrow. She says she has something important to discuss with Madam."
"OK."
Just after noon the next day, Zhenzhu came to pick up Jiang Tuantuan, and they soon arrived at the palace.
When I entered the hall, I saw Mingman brushing the whip. When she saw Jiang Tuantuan coming, she immediately handed the whip to the maid beside her.
"Tuantuan, you're here."
"You're so anxious for me to come here, is there something important?"
Ming Man said with great joy, "I wanted to ask you to customize some jewelry. I've already thought of the look I want."
She said, "I particularly like those thin bracelets now, and I want to wear them stacked together. This time I want to wear three together. The first one will be made into a thin bracelet with some simple patterns engraved on it. The second one will be made into a bracelet with small round beads. I haven't thought of the third one yet. Can you help me think of it?"
Jiang Tuantuan thought for a moment and said, "Why not make the third one a pearl and gold bracelet?"
Mingman couldn't imagine what it would be like, but she trusted Jiang Tuantuan. "Okay, I'll do as you say. You name the price."
Jiang Tuantuan said, "It depends on the consumables and how long it takes. Once it's done, we'll pay for it and then we'll deliver it. The things I sell in my shop are not cheap."
"No problem, this princess has money!"
Before leaving, Jiang Tuantuan looked around the princess's palace and found that almost all the flowers inside were roses, and he had an idea in his mind.
After leaving the palace, I didn't go home first, but went to Jiangyue Pavilion first. There were not as many people here as the last time I came, but it was not bad. Compared with other shops, it was quite lively here. The shopkeepers who used to laugh at me were now jealous to death.
After entering the store, besides Er Liu who was busy, Mai Feng and Madden were doing odd jobs nearby.
"It's time to live!"
Mai Feng and Madden were delighted, "Boss, what are you going to do this time?"
"Let's go to the backyard and talk. Erliu, you take care of the store yourself."
When they reached the backyard, Jiang Tuantuan said directly, "This time I'm going to make a bracelet for the princess."
The two of them were so frightened that their eyes widened. The princess is such a noble person, and she actually gave us the opportunity to do it. We were so flattered.
"I believe you can do it. This time, we'll make three thin bracelets to wear together. The first one should be a thin bracelet with a diameter of two millimeters, engraved with a rose pattern, something simple will do. The second one will be made of round gold beads, each of which will be engraved with a small "Fu" character. The size of the beads should match the first one."
"The third is to put pearls and gold together."
Jiang Tuantuan was afraid that they wouldn't understand what she said, so she just picked up the brush and started drawing. After all, there were very few styles of jewelry in this era, and there was no such thing as pearls and gold inlaid together. Jiang Tuantuan could be said to have set a precedent.
Two small gold beads are inlaid next to a pearl, and then connected with this thin ring chain. Do you understand?
The two of them said together, "I understand, but this is too difficult. It's even harder than the bracelet I made for my boss last time, and it strains my eyes."
Jiang Tuantuan looked at the two of them with a determined look, "I believe you can do it. If you do well, there will be a reward."
The two suddenly felt that they could do it.
"The gold bars I gave you last time probably haven't been used up yet!"
"No, there's still plenty left, enough to make bracelets."
Jiang Tuantuan took out a dozen plump, lustrous pearls from his pocket and gave them to the two of them.
Both of them were very surprised. These dozen pearls were priceless, but the boss actually carried them with him and put them in his pocket!
In fact, Jiang Tuantuan bought these pearls on the way here by spending several thousand points at the trading mall.
After everything was explained, they could go home, and Mai Feng and Madden started making them. They were especially interested in the third one, as it was the first time they had heard of such an idea. Although it would be very tiring, they were also full of passion.
Without the help of Mai Feng and Madden, Er Liu would have been very busy on his own. However, seeing the store's business getting better and better, and with a lot of work to do every day, Er Liu felt a sense of accomplishment from the bottom of his heart.
On the way back, Jiang Tuantuan heard the birds singing and looked up at the sky. It was spring, and it was time to sow wheat.
This time when planting wheat, Jiang Tuantuan planned to get some wheat from the market and buy some from the mall to see if he could cultivate a better variety. There happened to be a canal next to the field, so he could grow some rice at the same time.
Opening the trading mall, there are various wheat and rice varieties, all of which are different. Some are more drought-resistant, some have higher yields, and they are also divided into various tastes. Based on past experience, Jiang Tuantuan decisively bought the cheapest and highest-yielding variety.
Because the more expensive these varieties are, the better the quality, and the less suitable they are for ancient times today. They require special planting methods. It is better to choose some cheaper ones, which may be more suitable.
