"Then I'll keep some for myself and let Shaoyao bring it to you later."
Although Jiang Suya was a little reluctant, she felt that her mother was right.
In addition, she remembered that she had a lot of pearl jewelry, not only in Rongcheng, but also in the capital, and she felt a little more balanced.
What's more, she felt that now she, Shaoyao and the wind chime were things that no one else in Da Chu had, not even the concubine and aunt in the palace (called according to Jiang Yunye's relationship).
Huo Yiyi was afraid that she would regret it, so she said, "Then there's no need to take it back. Just pick it up here and take it away, and I'll take care of the rest for you."
Jiang Suya was a little unhappy when she heard this, feeling that her mother didn't trust her.
But after catching her mother's gaze, she obediently returned to the hall and put down the small wooden box.
Shaoyao looked a little confused when she saw her. She knew that the maid who spent time with her young lady day and night naturally understood her preferences and some of her thoughts.
It's really difficult for her to let these things go now.
In other words, the person in front of me is the madam and the young lady’s biological mother. If it were anyone else, the young lady would definitely not agree.
"Mom, shall I keep three of these pearls of different sizes?"
She made two of them into jewelry herself, and the remaining one could be given to any sisters she was close to if she met them later.
Although gifts are given in pairs rather than singles, this thing is a precious thing now, and it is good to get one. You must know that these things cannot be bought with money outside.
Of course, she has another little thought that she can't let her mother know about.
Huo Yiyi glanced at the small wooden box, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Okay!"
Because the wooden boxes are small, there are not many in a row. If we take away three, there will be even less left.
But Huo Yiyi also understood that if she didn't agree, the girl might feel aggrieved.
Now that she has taken a step back, there is no reason for her to disagree.
Jiang Suya breathed a sigh of relief. She asked Shaoyao to bring over the makeup box that was specially used to store precious objects in her room. Then in front of Huo Yiyi, she picked out the best two from each layer of the small wooden box, and then continued
Just pick one.
Seeing that the three of them were still separated, Huo Yiyi raised her eyebrows and understood instantly.
It seems that this girl is also growing up, and she has learned to play tricks without even realizing it.
The two good ones she had were obviously for her own use, and the other, smaller ones, were obviously kept to give away.
"Mom, I'm going back first."
After Jiang Suya finished speaking, she personally hugged her makeup box, not wanting to let the peony touch it, and carried it back to her elegant garden.
That's right, the house Jiang Yunye and Huo Yiyi live in now has the same layout as it did in Jifeng Town, and even the names of the houses and courtyards are the same.
As soon as she returned to Yayuan, Jiang Suya breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to gently touch the pearls.
These are the best. The money her mother sold them to her has a fixed amount in return. Even if it is given to her, she cannot use it.
Sister Shiqing piled nine layers in the small wooden box, with different sizes, which is equivalent to nine extra layers for her.
In addition to the eighteen she left for herself, she can give two or three of the extra to her close sisters later, but she can make jewelry for herself as well as city jewelry for the rest, and sell them later at a high price.
Sell this to the wealthy households in Rongcheng, especially the ladies from wealthy merchants.
She can find a way to give the money she got to Brother Yang.xdw8
It's already the winter months, and Brother Yang will attend Spring Festival next year. According to his father, he will most likely go to high school.
When he goes to the capital, what kind of food and clothing can he buy without spending money?
Although someone was willing to provide him with financial support, Brother Yang refused. According to his father, he did not want to involve too much.
But with the situation at home, he definitely couldn't be helped.
If he happened to refuse the help of those people, she could fully imagine how difficult his life would be after coming to Beijing.
Right now, he is following his father. On the one hand, he is his mentor and is receiving instruction. On the other hand, he is helping his father deal with some things and giving him some advice.
Of course, at the same time, he acted like a master to his father in order to earn a meager amount of money.
I heard that he only earns 500 yuan a month, plus he can copy some books and draw some paintings to sell.
Although he is not famous yet, how much is his calligraphy and painting worth?
After a month, it's pretty good to be able to save two taels of silver.
But everything in the capital is expensive. Even if he accepts his father's suggestion and is willing to live in her family's other courtyard, does he still have to pay for food and food by himself?
Dad said that the premise for his acceptance was that the villa should not be big and there were no people at home. He would take care of all the food and clothing expenses himself.
She did some calculations for Brother Yang. In addition to food and clothing, those pens, ink, paper and inkstones were a huge expense.
He has to save at least seventy or eighty taels to survive in the capital until April next year.
She now has a lot of his paintings and calligraphy in her room, and every time she finds a different person to buy them secretly, for fear that he will hurt his self-esteem if he finds out.
But even after buying so much, it still cost less than ten taels of silver.
She thought about it, before Brother Yang went to the capital in the twelfth lunar month, she sold the pearl jewelry, and then gave the money to Aunt Chang, saying that Sister Shiqing funded it after knowing the situation.
I think they won't refuse after knowing that she is Sister Shiqing.
Yes, you have to ask Aunt Chang to go to the capital with you. Otherwise, Brother Yang, a grown man, has to study and attend parties among those students, so he won't have time to find food and clothing for himself.
Thinking of this, Jiang Suya became more and more determined to make the things as soon as possible. After they were finished, she would attend more parties and take those things out.
Then she can wait for the fish to take the bait with peace of mind. As long as someone is envious and wants to have one, she can sell it at a high price.
She did the math and found that apart from the two or three pearls she planned to give away, there were still six or seven left. She could buy more than ten pearls each no matter what.
In this way, it will be almost one hundred taels.
If it is made into exquisite jewelry, someone might be willing to pay a hundred taels apiece, but this requires that the pearls on the jewelry must not be missing.
Shaoyao saw her hands constantly touching the pearls, her eyes dim and unclear, and said: "Miss, are these going to be made into jewelry? But what should I do wrong?"
Jiang Suya came to her senses after hearing this, found a small brocade box, put a few big ones in, and let Shaoyao wrap the rest with an embroidered handkerchief at will.
"Send these to Jinxiu Pavilion. The smallest ones will be made into rings, the largest ones will be made into earrings, and the rest will be made into hairpins. As for the patterns, let Jinxiu Pavilion make them as they like."
She only needs two earrings, and she only needs to set one ring. The extra ones can be used as long as her mother sees them. If her mother asks about the other ones, she will say just keep them.
