Chapter 1124
There is no impermeable wall in the world, let alone in the mansion of the clan relatives, whose personnel relations are quite complicated.
Although Shu Shujue Luo and Ilgen Jue Luo both spread the news of Erfu's cold treatment in Yonghe Palace through hidden channels, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, especially in order to seize the throne, the fourth master was stunned to get out the sticky rod that only flourished during the Yongzheng period, and his ears and eyes were all over the capital.
Don't look at the fourth master, he didn't say anything about this matter on his face, but he had already thrown the evidence in front of Yinyu's eyes behind his back.
Several copies of the time, place, The broadcast description of the characters made Yinyu's face turn red, although he now respects the fourth master from the bottom of his heart, but the comparison he has cultivated since he was a child still makes him habitually want to perform in front of the fourth master, originally he should have come back this time to show off his experience in governing the army with the fourth master, so that the fourth brother, who is not good at military and political affairs, can praise himself, but before he can start his own performance, he was slapped in the face by the concubine in his backyard, and Yinyu was really angry and cried to deathใ
However, Erfu's forbearance and silence made him unable to even say a reasonable word in front of the fourth master.
Yinyu took this thick stack of letter paper and left the criminal department, and this fire fell on the heads of several concubines in his own house without accident, especially the initiators of this farce, Shu Shujue Luo and Ilgen Jue Luo, who were directly punished with the most severe punishment, banned from copying scriptures and thinking behind closed doors.
Different from usual, around this year's festival, it was a good time for the Fujin and side Fujin to go out to brush up their sense of existence, and now the two of them not only can't go out to socialize as usual, but let the friends of the clansmen's mansions be good. Fang Fujin speculated, and had to copy scriptures and pray day and night for the Wanyan clan and the fetus in the womb of the Wanyan clan, which was angry and annoying, and before the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the two of them fell ill together, on the other hand, Erfu and Wanyan, they deliberately provoked the relationship between the concubines, but they were not affected in any way, but they moved around frequently, looking like finding confidants and friends.
Today, Erfu sent someone to a sitting statue of the Fourteenth Master's Mansion with a white jade thousand-armed Guanyin that had been opened by a mage.
Ming'er, the Fourteenth Fujin Wanyan sent the foreign fat powder he brought back from Fujian to Erfu's hands.
Later, this pair of concubines came across again, and they studied how to embroider beautifully with children's tiger cats.
When he was older, a box of yarn beads sent from Jiangnan was placed on Wanyan's dressing table.
Although Erfu is not good at words, but is a cool and open-minded character, and from the Ministry of Rites in the Lang Mansion Wanyan, is also a dare to think and dare to do the atmosphere of the woman, the two move around frequently, the more they get along, the more they feel that the deed, if it is not for the fact that the two are already concubines, the two really want to learn from Liu Guanzhang, who is righteous in Taoyuan, and become the Jinlan sisters, which also makes those in the palace and outside the palace who are looking forward to watching a good show, are disappointed and boring, but after the rumors, Concubine De Niangniang learned about the rumors, reflected on her own approach, and sent rewards one after another, stunned to move out of Emperor Kangxi's private treasury a month ago A pair of human-high red coral rockeries, respectively sent to Erfu and Wanyan, the two concubines.
Concubine De's gesture of goodwill also allowed the fourth master to calm down the evil fire in his heart, and rewarded him in a big way, emptied a warehouse, and gave a lot of pearls and jadeite and other precious things that were finally collected into the private treasury to Erfu and Wanyan's and Concubine De's mother's private rooms, and even took Emperor Kangxi and Yinyu to open the private treasury generously, and all kinds of auspicious precious things were stuffed into the hands of Erfu, Wanyan, and Concubine De as if they didn't want money.
In addition, when Emperor Kangxi was still listening to the government at the imperial gate, he greatly praised the brotherhood of the fourth master and the fourteenth master, with Emperor Kangxi's praise, those precious things that were enough for the people to live for a lifetime were thrown out at any time, but they became inconsequential foils.
In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.
In the capital, several lively streets are hung with festive red lanterns, the pedestrians on the street are also full of happy smiles, Erfu casually looked at the account books, counted a stack of more than ten silver tickets at hand, smiled and took out a silver ticket with a denomination of five thousand taels from the middle, and said softly: "Seeing that the New Year is coming, this bit of silver will be used as a reward for those guys who have been busy for a year, and then give them all the silver jewelry in the backlog of Curry as red envelopes!"
"You are really generous as the proprietor ......" Bai Jiao heard this, smiled and put away the silver ticket with a denomination of five thousand taels, and joked softly, "Chunxi, don't be busy pouring tea, go and get the account books on file in our warehouse, I have to calculate carefully, our proprietor can take a few taels of silver today!" After speaking, she moved out the large abacus more than a foot long from under the tea table in a decent manner, her fingers crackling and pulling the abacus beads like a flower, and looked at Erfu sitting opposite with a mocking face.
Erfu didn't eat this set, and replied with a smile: "I am the owner of the left and right, and the capital invested at the beginning has been earned, and now the silver in my hand is pure earning, which is lost and earned, I still really don't care, anyway, there is your big shopkeeper's back, but you are the big shopkeeper, I remember that it is a dividend, if you lose, you can't get a penny of dividends!"
After speaking, she followed Bai Jiao's appearance and urged Chunxi, who was waiting for tea, to get the account book.
Chunxi is also a straightforward character, she looked left and right, and really found a thick stack of ledgers out of the cabinet, so that Bai Jiao didn't know how to end, but she also reacted quickly, and pushed a part of the ledger to Erfu in a style of pulling Zhuangding, and said with a smile: "It's just that you're here, then a little inventory with me, I forgot to tell you, I specially asked the craftsman to make a batch of auspicious plain silver inlaid treasure head noodles a year ago, although they are all turquoise, coral, Caibei and other things that are not very valuable, but in the end it is not something that ordinary people can afford, there is really a lot left in this library, this time your generous reward, it is really going to break the bank!"
"Oh, what kind of heads are they?" asked Erph, curious in her eyes.
"Chunxi, go downstairs and get two sets of more delicate ones and send them over, and let us, the owner who knows how to put money in his pocket and don't care about everything, take a good look. When Bai Jiao heard this, she smiled and threw a roll of her eyes at Erfu, she knew that Erfu had a collection of jewelry, no matter what kind of jewelry it was, as long as it was beautiful enough, whether she needed it or not, she would not miss it, so she had to let the craftsman make an extra set of samples when designing the style, otherwise how could it be Erf's turn to ask for those limited-edition jewelry......
After a while, Chunxi held two sets of plain silver inlaid treasures and sent them to Erfu.
Erf put down the account book that had just opened a few pages in his hand, raised his hand to take one of the brocade boxes, opened it at will, and looked at the brocade box with varnish on the surface, and he already showed an expression of disgust, in the end, he was used to seeing the master of good things, this kind of box was made by carpenters in batches, and the carvings on the lid of the box were quite exquisite, but they would not be used as good things, she pursed her lips in disgust, and muttered casually: "This is a box made of pine wood, it's really not exquisite." โ
"Buying plants and returning pearls, this is just a box for things. Bai Jiao replied with a speechless face.
Erf also knows that this is just a box, but this is also a jewelry box......
What is packaging?
โโThe answer is self-evident, naturally to promote sales, the same thing, one has exquisite packaging, one is placed next to it, at the same price, everyone will choose the one with exquisite packaging, even if these exquisite packaging, and finally become cumbersome garbage, but there will be people who are willing to eat.
You don't see, which of the luxury brands in later generations does not have a delicate and exquisite packaging......
However, Erfu didn't think about the importance of promoting packaging with Bai Jiao now, and planned to take a look at the contents of the box first.
The box is more than a foot wide and palm long, divided into two layers, and there are black soft satin insides to set off, although it may not be more delicate than the black velvet set off in later generations, but it is not inferior, especially in the sunlight, the light of the stars, and the plain silver jewelry that is not too glamorous, adds a bit of brilliance and glittering beauty.
When you open the lid of the box, the first thing that catches Erfu's eye is the more gorgeous and delicate top hairpin and pendant bead step.
On the hairpin rod that is polished to a round and smooth step, inlaid with a half-moon-shaped hairpin of the size of the palm of the hand, the superior silk technology creates an irregular few peach blossoms, the peach blossoms are either in full bloom, or with buds to be released, and there are leaves and branches that outline the lines on the left and right to set off, which is also dotted with a lifelike butterfly, the subtleties of the butterfly wings, but also outlined with gold wire, and then with large and small colored shells, exquisite, Smart, lively, and very suitable for the atmosphere of the New Year, that is, Erf, who is accustomed to seeing good things, has an urge to pay for it immediately.
The process of the top hairpin and the step shake is the same, and the pattern is also a set, the only difference is the general shape.
Look at the two pairs of four hairpins placed on the lower layer, two peach blossoms of different sizes bloom side by side, the heart of the flower is dotted with a few red agate beads such as the size of millet grains, the corners are gilded technology, more shiny, with the same pattern of plain silver tray inlaid with red agate stone earrings, whether it is a single hairpin, or a complete set of hairpins, it is an excellent choice.
Put down this set, Erfu took the box next to it that has not been opened, this box is a set of magpie Dengmei's head, compared to the previous set of spring peach New Year's head, but also pay attention to a few points, Erfu really doesn't understand, such a good design, such an exquisite process, how can it be backlogged in the warehouse.
If you don't understand, you have to ask, and there are no outsiders present, so she directly and bluntly expressed the doubts in her heart.
When Bai Jiao heard this, she shook her head with a smile and explained softly: "You, like me, are all guilty of taking things for granted.
You are the dignified prince Fujin, born noble, living a rich life of gold and jade, never for tea, rice, oil and salt, the most common small problems of the people, although I was born in the people, but since I was a child, I have lived in a merchant family, whether it is my own mother's family, or married to the husband's family, are the local well-known rich gentry, although the status is not as noble as you, even the Zhuang family is not as good, but it is also not worried about money, so I don't understand the ordinary people to live that set of thrifty housekeeping.
The head of these plain silver inlaid treasures actually has a shortcoming, that is, it is not high or low.
A lady with a noble status like you, if you wear these jewelry to formal occasions, it will seem too casual, but on weekdays, you will find these jewelry cumbersome, so when you choose hair accessories, you will definitely abandon this.
The female dependents of the merchant are the most concerned about the face, and they can't compare everything with the ladies in the palace, the more expensive the hair ornament, the better, the more exquisite, the better, and they will not choose this kind of silver hair ornament.
And ordinary people, such as this set of spring peach New Year's noodles in your hand, a set of fifty taels of silver, who can take out so much silver to buy such a set of jewelry, rather than buy such a set of heads, it is better to buy two golden hairpins, if you encounter a hurry to use money, it is easier to sell.
As a result, the silver jewelry, which took a long time to design, became a storeroom ornament. After speaking, Bai Jiao spread her hands helplessly, re-managed the two boxes opened by Erfu, and handed them back to Chunxi's hands, so as not to put them here and look upset.
After listening to Bai Jiao patiently, Erfu also understood the truth in this, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "You have some truth, these heads are very exquisite, but the weight is not too heavy, that is, I want to reward the people below, and I will not choose this kind of flashy heads, it is better to buy some affordable hairpins, it seems that these heads are really going to be backlogged in the warehouse!"
Bai Jiao heard this, covered her mouth and smiled, and pointed to Chunxi next to her with beautiful eyebrows and eyes with excitement, and said softly: "If these heads want to continue to stay in the warehouse to accumulate dust, it is impossible, you have just given these heads and faces to the guys in our store, speaking of which, I really want to thank you for pointing out a new path for me, before I really didn't expect that if the guys in our store wear these hair accessories as live signs, I think our store will usher in a lot of new customers." โ
After speaking, she had already beckoned Chunxi to kneel in front of her, and took a pair of silver hairpins from the Spring Peach's New Year's head to Chun Tao's head.
Chunxi has long hair as smooth and shiny as black satin, and a hairpin decorated with red agate makes it even more beautiful.
Bai Jiao looked at her own craftsmanship with satisfaction, and asked Erfu with a proud face: "Look, my hand combing hair is not bad, if the guys in our store wear such delicate hair accessories, do we still need to worry about those customers not taking the initiative to go to our store!"
After saying that, she was already talking to herself and pulled Chunxi outside.
