A scholar becomes a landlord

Not long after autumn came, the capital sent a batch of furs, and Wei Le gave some middle-grade furs to Cheng Yong to take back. He originally picked some high-end furs, but Cheng Yong rejected them all.

"The Cheng family is a small landlord in the countryside, and they can't keep things that are too good. This is fine." Cheng Neng is very self-aware, and giving things that are too good to his family will cause trouble.Last time, I ordered a few cloaks from Wei Le and Yi Feng, because they were [-]% or [-]% new, and they were sold out by some people. I didn't release them until I heard that they were given by relatives, or they were worn.

But even so, it made many people feel sour.This kind of cloak made of fine leather, even if it is not brand new, they are jealous, at least they cannot find such a cloak in their home.

Not to mention anything else, just the fur of the cloak can't find a single variegated color. Such leather costs at least a few hundred taels of silver, and the expensive ones can be thousands of dollars. Say sour words.

Wei Le didn't say anything about Cheng Yong's insistence, but asked him to pick some better medium leather. In addition to letting Xiaoxue take Lixia and Liqiu to make winter clothes for him and Yi Fengxiajuan, let the veterans' wives give them The rest of Wei Zhai made winter clothes, and of course the people in the other two houses also made two sets of winter clothes.

Because Yi Feng and Wei Le, Cheng Yong and Brother Xiang Tian have no children, the four of them are generous in terms of welfare.There are two new sets of clothes every season, and there are more people in Wei Zhai, four sets per person.

Xiaoxue, Daxue, Lixia and Liqiu Weile also rewarded them with some extra materials to make their own clothes. Even Daxue's son had soft muslin to make clothes.

But what Wei Le never imagined was that Qingxi was actually learning how to make clothes from Daxue and Xiaoxue.

"Small ones can't embroider flowers, but they should be okay for making clothes. Among other things, Brother Feng and I must at least know how to make middle clothes. As long as Daxue Xiaoxue and the others do my tailoring, I can do the sewing myself. "

Qingxi was very gentle when she said this, and she didn't get angry at all because she was a man but had to do a woman's work.

"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Wei Le was just picking out materials at the time, and when he heard this, he paused and asked.

"Haven't I been laughed at enough? Anyway, the people in Wei Zhai don't know how to laugh at me. I don't care about the others." Qingxi is jealous. He doesn't want Jinfeng's underwear to be made by other women, so he plans to Do it by yourself, and ask Xiaoxue and the others for help before he learns how to cut it. When he learns it, he won't even ask others to help him do it.

"Then you should be able to use this piece of material, and you don't need to embroider it. If you don't know how to cut it, then ask Daxue and the others for help!" Wei Le threw a bright red piece of good material into Qingxi's arms.

"This is?"

Qingxi looked at the red eyes, and her eyes turned red.

"Go ahead and do it. When it's done and when I'll serve you wine at home, I will write to Steward Jin and ask him to come back and be the officiant."

With his hands behind his back, Wei Le didn't seem to care about his actions just now, and he didn't look at Qingxi's moved eyes.

"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master." Qingxi wrapped up his stuff and went back to the house, butler Xiaojin thought he had been bullied, and was about to roll up his sleeves to help him take revenge, but was stopped by Qingxi.

Looking at the material in his arms, Jin Feng's eyes were also red.

"Do it." One word represented his mood.

They don't have a marriage certificate, and some only have a blessing from relatives and worship under the witness of the officiant, but this is already very satisfying for them.

Qingxi never thought that he would have such a day. He had seen the bright red dress of the young master before. Naturally, the material in his hand would not be able to catch up with a horse, but the advantage was that he did not have to embroider this material, and the pattern of auspicious clouds on it That's enough.Although she didn't know why such a horse was included in the materials for the young master, Qingxi happily hugged it and asked Daxue and Xiaoxue for help.

When Daxue and Xiaoxue saw this material, they knew what their young master was thinking. They cut it out for the two of them carefully, and pointed Qingxi from time to time when sewing. After a few days of work, the two wedding clothes were sewn with Qingxi's hard work. up.

Although he had a lot of holes in his hands, he was very happy.Seeing him like this, Wei Le wrote a letter to the capital, asking Butler Jin to come to Li Village to attend his son's wedding on September [-]th.

The old butler Jin was getting old, and the Liu family wanted him to keep an eye on him when he left, so it was a pity that he couldn't drink his grandson's wedding wine.But what surprised Wei Le and the others was that when Butler Jin came back, he brought a stepwife with him. This was the second wife that Butler Jin helped to marry in June this year.

"Xiao Lezi, I remember that there are two pieces of white fox fur among the furs sent from the capital this time, right?" Brother Xiang Tian of course nodded to Wei Le's question. He and Cheng Yong went back to Chengjia Village several times, what should they bring? It is clear in the chest, and it was cleaned up early.

"There are two of these, do you want them?" Immediately called Jin Feng and asked him to take them out and give them to Brother Xiang Tian.

"Thank you, Xiaole. Dayong's sister-in-law gave birth to a baby girl this year. I thought that two pieces of white fox fur would definitely not be enough for adults, but it would be enough for children. And the white fox fur is soft, baby It's warm and soft to wear."

It's rare that Brother Xiang Tian can think of these things, Wei Le gave him a praiseful look.

"I've made progress! Jin Feng, go get a good craftsman to get a golden lock later, and let Brother Tian and the others bring it back when they return to Chengjia Village. It must be too late now."

Although I helped Daxue's son get a golden lock last year, it was when there was a need, and the people in Wei Zhai seldom interact with others, and it is impossible to give someone a golden lock for a joint ceremony, so there is no Golden Lock in Wei Zhai Keep it ready, save it and hit it now.

"Yes, little one remembers."

When Jin Feng turned his head, he found a good craftsman to make a golden lock that weighed two or six coins. Considering that the child was still young, otherwise Jin Feng would have hit it heavier.Even if it is two or two heavy, Jin Feng is still afraid of crushing the neck of the little baby!

But it doesn't matter, this golden lock can be put away, and she can wear it when she is a little older.

The little girl should be pampered, and the Cheng family has such a condition that these jewelry should not be missing, and the little girl should not be allowed to develop a stingy character, and want to take whatever good things she sees into her arms.This kind of upbringing is not good, the girl raised has too shallow eyelids, Wei Le doesn't like it.

"When she gets married later, I'll give her a few sets of hairstyles, which will be considered as makeup."

Wei Zhai's income has been good these years, and when Wei Le gets good things, they are often given to Mrs. Liu or Ruiqi's daughter-in-law.

Last time he was lucky enough to get a few diamonds and had two sets of face masks made, one for his wife and the other for Rui Qi's daughter-in-law. Even though they live in the palace, such diamond heads are rare. There are few products in Daqing.This time, it was Yi Zhai's soldiers who went to the seaport to buy some spices and medicinal materials for Yi Feng, and bumped into a foreign businessman who had them, and exchanged them with some silk and porcelain unique to Daqing.

Of course, this can only be regarded as medium silk and porcelain in Daqing, but it made the other party very happy. He gave all his goods to the soldiers, and then boarded a boat with a pile of silk and porcelain and ran away.

"Did he think we'd regret it?"

A soldier looked at the diamonds and a bunch of foreign goods in his hand, including several bottles of so-called rose water.

That's all for nothing, Wei Le saw that they had brought some foreign goods back, and let everyone share them, and left a few diamonds for others to send to the capital as heads. Man, Xiaoxue and the others can't wear these things, so they thought that his wife, as an elder, had a set, and Ruiqi's daughter-in-law was considered his junior, so she gave a set, which caused a sensation in the capital.

What's even more surprising is that the diamonds on the heads of these two sets are all blue, and they twinkle when worn on the heads, which is particularly enviable.Someone started to inquire about the origin of these two sets of ice surfaces, but after inquiring for a long time, they didn't find out any information, and they were all covered up by Mr. Liu and Xinhuang.

And Wei Le didn't expect such a result. Originally, the two sets of heads were okay for him, but maybe because he was a man, he didn't think it was a big deal.But women are different, who doesn't love beauty and beauty!Especially these two sets of diamonds are not colorless as they know, but blue, which is even more rare.

In fact, diamonds are diamonds, Wei Le called them like this, but Daqing people only call them diamonds, and no one has ever called them diamonds.

In fact, Daqing should also have diamonds. After all, Huaxia in the previous life also had diamonds, but they were discovered later.So diamonds are relatively rare in China.But colorless diamonds are not very popular, and few people use them to make jewelry.But this blue diamond is different, very popular with women.

The queen and the others didn't dare to ask, so they came to disturb Mrs. Liu. The annoyed Mrs. immediately pretended to be sick and closed the door to thank the guests. She didn't go out for dinner for several months until the hot wave cooled down.

However, the two sets of heads of her and the queen have been sold at sky-high prices outside. Of course, they are impossible to get the heads, but this does not prevent them from looking for colored diamonds!Although it is troublesome to make jewelry, the effect after making it is amazing, at least it is beautiful. It took Wei Le more than half a year to make these two sets of heads, which is the result of the joint efforts of many craftsmen.

Despite all these troubles, many people have found colored diamonds, but they don't seem as good as the two sets of empress and Mrs. Liu, but they're done with it!Many have yet to be found.

It's just that some people are dissatisfied, the Queen and the others are dissatisfied and complain, and Madam Liu and the others are very jealous.That's all for the queen, she is the mother of the country, and they can accept such a prestige, where did Mrs. Liu get it?They would not have thought that Wei Le gave it to their teacher and wife, but only wondered whether Master Liu had obtained it privately, and then dedicated one set to the palace and the other to his wife.

But with such a precious face, both sets should be sent to the palace instead of being reserved for his wife.

So someone said in the Queen's ears that Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu don't respect the mother of the country, and they dare to keep good things privately, even if the other party is Mrs. Yipin, they can't do this!The best one should of course be given to the empress, she offered both sets without hesitation, and even dared to hide one set in private, hoping that the queen can punish Mrs. Liu for her crimes, and even if she does not, she will give her a lower grade as a reward. punishment.
