My heart moved, and I tentatively said, "Is it ...... Master Liu, have you ever seen this car?"

I originally just thought of it by chance so I asked, but I didn't expect him to nod and say, "Don't hide it from Madame, this car was built by me, and there are only two cars in the capital." The owner of the car doesn't spread the pattern of the car, so I was very surprised to see this picture. ”

After he finished eating, he didn't need to be pulled, and he took a few steps back.

"I see......" I nodded. It turned out that I met someone else's genuine version, and my behavior can be regarded as a kind of piracy, and now Li Ghost sees Li Kui. If the other party says, sorry, this thing was designed and invented by us, you better dispel the idea of imitation...... Well, there is no such thing as a patent in this era, so should I really dispel this idea of imitation?

I thought in my heart and asked politely, "Then can Master Liu make a car like this for me?"

If he doesn't agree, I'll go to someone else. Who knew that this time it was such a coincidence, and I wanted to find a carpenter to find the car, and I actually found the head of the main owner.

The man didn't answer me, but asked, "I don't know who painted this picture in Madame's house?" It doesn't seem to be our painting method here, but it seems to be the painting technique of the Westerners, and I ask Madame to teach me." ”

This man is certainly not an ordinary man...... You must know that although there are also imported products in this era, Western dressing mirrors, self-striking bells, glass vases, Western ointments, snuff and other things, which are available in Jiafu, but ordinary people still can't see this kind of thing. This person actually knows the style of Western painting, which shows that he is not an ordinary person.

I thought about it, I definitely didn't want to reveal my own affairs to him, so I cautiously replied: "This, please forgive me for inconvenience." ”

Liu Mutou sighed, and didn't ask again, maybe he guessed that it was painted by a boudoir lady, so naturally it was inconvenient to tell him. However, his next sentence surprised me: "It is not difficult to make this car, and it can be completed in about half a month if the materials are ready." But I have to ask the owner of the car first, and if he has no objection, I can start making the car for my wife. ”

This is not said to death, there is still room for maneuver, it seems that the key is the owner of the car.

That Jiang Gongzi, who doesn't seem to be a stingy person, shouldn't disagree.

"That's fine, in this case, I'll pay some deposit here first, and if this matter is confirmed, I'll ask Master Liu to start work." ”

He asked, "Where is Madame's house?"

Before I could speak, the little guy was already rushing to grab him: "We are from Rongguo Mansion, this is our second grandmother, you thief embryo is not rude......"

"Forget it," I said, "I'll send someone again in three days' time, and I'll bother you about it." ”

"Yes," he was finally a little more respectful now, and he didn't know if he was suppressed by the name of Rongguo Mansion, or if there was some other reason.

Our car slowly drove away from the carpenter's shop, and before Ping'er could dissipate, he lifted the curtain and glared at Liu Mutou. The man had no intention of being humble and flattering, and just looked at her so straight. The first time he encountered such a hard-headed goods, Ping'er couldn't bear to be defeated. After all, she is also a girl who grew up in the family's mansion, and she has no less rules and etiquette to abide by than the young ladies.

For those subordinates in Jiafu, her glare would undoubtedly be deterrent. But this man is different, he must not be just a carpenter with better skills. How can a person who is familiar with the owner of the car, knows Western painting techniques, and has such an attitude and temperament, be just an ordinary carpenter?

That Jiang Gongzi...... And his companion who has never spoken out loud, what is the identity? They also have a lot of pomp, but their style is different from the ordinary nobles now, plus the incomprehensible Liu Mutou I saw just now, I thought about it for a while, and I didn't have a clue, so I didn't want to think about it. Anyway, I have no grudge against them, so I don't have to bother thinking about it. I'm just trying to make a carriage of similar style, and I don't think I have any more connection with them.

We instructed the mother-in-law who followed the car on the street and bought some things on the side of the road. I bought some rouge gouache, although I don't like to use it, but I like the way these things look, and I make a very delicate powder box with a picture of a beautiful woman painted on it. The rouge is contained in a small round box of white fine porcelain, the porcelain is really fine, and it is burned a bit like the later alabaster bottles, with a somewhat crystalline and warm feeling, so the price is not cheap. I bought two things for Sister Qiao, a colorful bird made of wood chips, with a wheel under the long pole at the back, and the wire is tied to the bird's wing root from the wheel, and when it is pushed, it will make a crisp cluck, and the bird's wings will flap and shake up and down, although it is a very simple toy, it is very cute. And then there's the little tiger in Buza or something. Although Sister Qiao is a daughter, I found that she doesn't have many toys. When I passed by the bookstore, I also asked the little guy to go in and buy a few books to come out, including the chronicles of mountains and rivers, poetry collections by poets who have been popular recently, and novels. It is estimated that the little girl has lived under the coercion of Sister Feng for a long time, and she is extremely obedient, and after bargaining with the bookstore owner, she also asked for an add, which is a book of poetry. But I took it and flipped through it.,The content is not complete.,Only a few dozen thin pages.,It seems to be an incomplete abridged book.。

I really didn't want to go back, but I couldn't stay outside for too long. Ping'er rummaged through the fat powder and toys we bought, smiling, and had already put aside her anger at that Liu Mutou. Take this and look at it, then pick up the little toy and look at it, and say: "Miss Qiao will definitely like it, speaking of which, we haven't bothered her in this regard before, Miss Qiao is alone, and she doesn't have any playmates, although there are some toys at hand, but it's not as interesting as these." ”

"Hmm. ”

The car turned into the corner gate of Rongguofu and drove on the sandwich road on the west side. The walls on both sides block the sunlight high, and the brightness and ease that existed just now are gone, replaced by oppression and solemnity. Ping'er gradually stopped smiling, packed up all her things, and sat next to me silently.

Yahuan helped me out of the car. After all, I am now "sick", my body is weak and weak, and I am weak and weak even when I walk.

When I entered the house, Ping'er poured me tea, and I said, "You can also rest and change your clothes." Bring Sister Qiao to me again, don't tell her that I bought something for her. ”

Ping'er responded with a smile, went, and came back after a while and said, "Sister Qiao went to the old lady, stayed in the courtyard to play and hasn't come back, it seems that the old lady is going to stay for dinner." I'll serve my grandmother to change her clothes. ”

I sat down, Ping'er took a few hairpins for me, and took off the wigs, and put my hair in a comfortable bun, and pinned it with a hairpin with red gold and emerald. Ping'er whispered in my ear: "Just now, Wang Si from the eldest lady's side came over, and I heard them saying that Sun Shaozu, who asked the second girl, is compatible with the second girl's eight characters." ”

I exchanged a look with her, and I smiled and asked, "yes? So what's going on now?"

Ping'er said: "Speaking of this, I don't know if it's too coincidental or not a coincidence, Wang Si said that the Sun family and the eldest master originally didn't believe it, but this is going to be changed, the Sun family seems to be restless, and there are several strange things, saying that the dog that cares for the house died overnight, no injury or poison, and said that there are a few other more evil things, so I have to believe it, this marriage may not be negotiated." ”

Wen Xiu made a move? It's really hard for her.

I breathed a sigh of relief: "Ouch, then this marriage doesn't sound right." ”

Ping'er couldn't help but smile and said, "That is to say, it seems that the second girl and the Sun family have no fate." She lowered her voice again and said, "The person I was looking for just said this, and I'm afraid it won't work." I didn't expect the Sun family to have an accident at this time, Amitabha, it seems that they are really fighting each other, and even God is helping us. ”

She didn't know about Wenxiu, and it was inconvenient for me to say it now, so I just said, "It's not, God is helping us." ”

We looked at each other again, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud as I leaned over the mirror.
