Rebirth from the end of the world to the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 7
With the confirmation of the wedding date, Shuhan is very busy every day, and there are really many and complicated things to learn.

"Sister, come here quickly, come here quickly, look, this is a jade pendant I won from a bet from the second son of the Wang family. La!" This is Shuhan's youngest brother, Li Baihang.

Although they are twin brothers, they have very different personalities. The original is a very docile beauty.

But his younger brother is a naughty little monkey.Because there is not much time difference between the two births.It can be said that the relationship between the two is very good.

"Really? My brother is smart?" Shuhan patted his brother's head.Take a closer look at the jade pendant, it really looks like an excellent jade seed
"I made two thousand taels of silver for no reason, which is awesome!" Shuhan praised without hesitation.

Li Baihang was a little shy, "As long as my sister likes it."

Although both are 13 years old, girls have always developed earlier than boys.So Shuhan is taller than his younger brother by almost a head.

This made Li Qinghang very dissatisfied, so he took an extra hour every afternoon to learn a martial arts class, hoping to exercise his body and grow taller, so that he would no longer be a little puppet.

The treatment of boys in Li's Mansion is much worse than that of girls. My younger brother has to get up before dawn every day to read books, learn the art of riding and archery in the afternoon, and hire a special teacher at night. Come over to correct and study historical records.

Although Li Wenye, the patriarch of the Li family, was a civil servant, it didn't prevent him from asking boys to be literate and martial.In addition, there is a stable eldest son in the family who is especially good at reading, and he encourages other children to learn from his elder brother.

In fact, the Li family are all good at reading, probably due to the genetic inheritance of a scholarly family, even the second brother who is the least good at reading has also passed the examination as a scholar.But I was still scolded for not being motivated and not being serious.

In contrast, girls can be regarded as leisurely, and they don't have much to do when they get up every day, mainly to help their mother manage it.

Housework inside and outside the mansion, but because the population of the Li family is relatively simple, there is nothing easy to manage.It's more about dealing with some projects related to purchases and stores.

Shuhan has been helping his mother manage the income of the shop in the capital for a while.Most of the goods sold in the shop are from the unique clothes, textiles, embroidery, and rouge powder that some rich people can afford.

Only then did I realize that the Li family was not just ordinary rich, but exceptionally rich.As the saying goes: The words of one hundred thousand snowflake silver in Qingzhi County in three years were not exaggerated in the Qing Dynasty at that time.The total economic value of the Jiangnan area in the Qing Dynasty can be said to account for 45% of the entire country, including the few treaty ports in the Qing Dynasty, all of which were concentrated in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and Guangdong.

Jiangnan has a unique geographical location.Its richness is incomparable to the capital, Sichuan and Sichuan.

In addition, the Jiangnan generation also has a unique environmental advantage and rich products. It is known as the land of fish and rice. It is almost the main source of grain production for the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, the economy is developing rapidly.

Among them, silk fabrics, embroidery, clothes, rouge and gouache produced in Jiangnan and other places are favored by many noble ladies in the capital.

The Li family took advantage of their position in the Li family to purchase and sell from Jiangnan and other places.

Most of the embroiderers in the Li family's shop in the capital are from Jiangnan.The clothes produced are based on the unique embroidery techniques in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Hunan embroidery, Shu embroidery, Su embroidery and so on.

And the official system of the Qing Dynasty.There are two types of built-in, local officials and capital officials. For example, the government of Jiangnan is from the fourth-rank officials.

If it is placed in the capital, it can only be regarded as a moderate official. In the Jiangnan area, in modern terms, it is a position such as a senior official and mayor.The benefits obtained are far more than that of the county magistrate.

This afternoon, Shu Han and his mother were visiting their own shop in the capital. In modern terms, most of the products sold were high-end luxury goods.Because the Li family is not bad, the location of the money shop is almost the most prosperous area in the capital.

No matter which dynasty the noble ladies' purchasing power should not be underestimated.According to statistics, most of the favorites of the ladies in the capital are rouge and gouache, as well as fashionable clothes. Li's shops selling such items generally have relatively high profits.

"Are you tired, Han'er? Are you going to rest in a nearby restaurant?" Boer Zijit looked at her daughter gently.

Shuhan nodded shyly.

After walking all afternoon, I was really tired, so.Mrs. Boer Jijite took Shu Han into a nearby restaurant.

If you want to say what is the most profitable in the capital, it is restaurants and brothels.These two places are the places that no matter the kings and grandchildren nobles, or the common people will patronize.

However, restaurants and theaters are not something ordinary officials can manage and afford. Generally, behind these restaurants and brothels, there are relatives of the emperor, or some powerful officials.

The layout of this restaurant is very elegant, and the owner's elegant taste can be seen.Mrs. Boerzigit asked for a private room on the second floor to rest for a while.

Suddenly there was a commotion downstairs. "Master, please come upstairs!"

Shuhan opened the curtain curiously, looking for fame.Looking at a young man who was going up the stairs, the man's eyes were dark and indifferent, his nose bridge was high, he was dressed in a blue brocade robe, he held a white folding fan in his hand, and a golden belt around his waist , a pair of black boots on her legs, and a piece of jade the size of an egg on the back of the boots.

Immediately, Shuhan was taken aback, but she still kept a woman's gentleness on her face, never showing the slightest bit.It is the fourth elder brother who met once in the palace of the concubine.

At this time, the fourth elder brother also happened to meet Shang Shuhan's eyes.He just happened to see Shuhan and recognized him. This is the side Fujin he is about to pass.

Since I was going out this afternoon, Shuhan dressed up a goose hairpin decorated with gold dots and emeralds inlaid with jewels and stuck it on her temples. Shirt, a pair of tip eyes, out of a dimple.Comb the temples and flat hair loosely, sweep the temples and forehead hair up, and braid it into a flat bun. The fluffy and high curly hairline gives people a sense of dignity and elegance.The collar is smeared with dark blue and woven into silver strands, and the double rings with flying real purple are tied with golden clouds. It is really a peerless color.

"What a peerless beauty!" Yinzhen thought.

Shuhan's original appearance is indeed very good.The waist is slender, the limbs are slender, and she has a refined temperament like a fairy. She is dressed in white clothes, with rusty butterfly patterns on the ground, and her black silk is lightly raised with butterfly tassels, emitting a faint light. , but still couldn't hide her stunning face.

Suddenly Yinzhen was looking forward to the passing of his side Fujin...
