Chapter 173: Peace Pendant
"Your grandfather's house was raided, which made me understand a truth, you must have your own independent property. ”
Gongsun Qian's face showed a slight look of pride, and said: "Niang's business is divided into two parts: one part is a joint stock with Lei Mansion to help Lei Mansion do business, and the other part is an independent asset under Niang's name. We don't ask for anyone else. ”
Gongsun Qian looked at Lei Shaoxuan and said, "Lei Mansion is a bully, although it is a joint stock, my mother does not have any decision-making power, so don't do it." The houses of the Lei Mansion fought fiercely for fame and fortune, and sometimes even unscrupulous means. Niang is an outsider, weak in strength, at that time, for the future of Xing'er and Tong'er, Niang deliberately isolated the assets under her name from Lei Mansion, so leaving Lei Mansion had little impact on business. ”
"But the Lei Mansion is powerful, will it take revenge on my mother's business?" Lei Shaoxuan still said uneasily.
Gongsun Qian smiled slightly: "My grandfather was raided, but Tong'er and I were not implicated, thanks to the Queen Mother." The queen mother's surname is Gongsun, and her grandfather is her own family, although she is a little far away, she is still her grandfather's elder. The Queen Mother misses the old love very much, in the past few years, through the Queen Mother, the mother has done all the business of the palace, and the Lei Mansion does not dare to suppress it. ”
"They thought that my mother was desperate to go to Lei Mansion, but in fact, I came to Xijing because of the relationship with the Queen Mother. Gongsun Qian sighed and said, "It is also for the future of Xing'er and Tong'er." After entering the Lei Mansion, he is a person from the Lei Mansion, not a criminal official of the Gongsun clan, and he can still be an upright person. ”
When Lei Tong heard this, his heart trembled, and he cried: "Mother is so bitter!"
Lei Shaoxuan was silent.
It is conceivable that Gongsun Qian, who came in despair, was helpless and would inevitably be suppressed and despised in Lei Mansion, but for the sake of the child, Gongsun Qian endured silently.
Lei Shaoxuan was extremely angry at his father's indifference.
"Mother, one day I will let him kneel in front of his mother. Lei Shaoxuan said hatefully.
Located on Zifang Street, the most prosperous street in Xijing, Cuiyuxuan is a small three-story building.
The small building is carved with beams and painted buildings, gorgeous and elegant, and the plaque is carved with a piece of green jade, which is more simple.
The doorpost is engraved with a couplet of black jade: jade is full of spirit, there is no harm in going upstairs to find fate; people must have a heart, why not be honest than good.
"This is my mother's Jade Xuan. Gongsun Qian smiled slightly, coming to her own shop, it always makes people feel at ease.
"Mother, you are too picky, there is such a big jewelry and jade store, but you didn't give me a piece of jewelry. Lei Tong muttered: "As soon as my sister-in-law comes, I will give ten pieces." ”
"Isn't that afraid that you will develop the habit of luxury?" Gongsun Qian glared and said, "You have forgotten the hardships of starvation when you were a child?"
"That's all over!" said Lei Tong angrily.
"Ten pieces, we'll be one and a half. Zhang Qianhua took Lei Tong's hand and said.
Lei Tong nodded, smiling.
Gongsun Qian shook his head, and Lei Shaoxuan smiled dumbly.
The first floor of Jade Pavilion is a store, and the second floor is a customized area.
The furnishings on the first floor are like a study, and there are all kinds of cabinets and pavilions, and the decoration is elegant and simple.
Each compartment houses a variety of samples, divided into gold, silver, porcelain and jade.
The exquisitely carved fuchsia sandalwood cabinet, the red wool carpet, the spacious tea room, and the smiling maids enter the first floor, making people feel very comfortable and relaxed.
There are no common counters here, and every item is placed on an open lattice shelf.
At a glance, the gold and silver ware shimmer with dazzling light, the porcelain is round and soft, and the jade is exquisitely clear.
Every piece of ware is a masterpiece.
Entering the lobby on the first floor is like entering a fairy tale world of dazzling colors and gorgeous luxury.
"Mother, why don't you put things on the counter? Isn't it a waste of space to put only a few things on such a large wooden shelf?" asked Lei Tong puzzled.
"Every piece of Cuiyuxuan is a high-quality product, and the boutique is qualified to occupy an independent position!"
Gongsun Qian smiled slightly: "Cui Yuxuan only customized jewelry and ornaments for the Queen Mother at the earliest, and later the harem concubines also liked it, and slowly, the ladies of the wealthy families also liked to come here to customize." These people have high requirements for jewelry and ornaments, so Cui Yuxuan gradually only deals in fine products. Don't underestimate the things on the lattice, any of the items on it are unique, there is only one in the world, and there is no duplicate. ”
"Can it be customized here?"
Lei Tong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Brother, what about the small wooden necklace you carved for me when I was a child? Can you carve one for me with jade?"
Lei Tong has always missed his brother and never forgot the wooden card of his childhood, but too much time has passed, probably the wooden card is rotten, Lei Tong thought.
Hearing this, thinking of the Ruyi who left on the way to the heavenly burial, Lei Shaoxuan said with a gloomy expression: "On the way to escort the bitter sea, I gave the wooden plaque away. ”
Lei Tong was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little unhappy.
Seeing this, Lei Shaoxuan smiled bitterly and said: "Ruyi, I will give someone a wooden card, and they will give me a piece of Yan chalcedony, which is worth a fortune." When passing by the Gengnan Glacier, the weather was cold, and many death row prisoners suffered frostbite, and two people froze to death. ”
Lei Tong's eyes widened, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Don't talk about a wooden card, even a hundred gold medals and jade cards can't compare to my brother's peace." ”
"Peace?" Lei Shaoxuan's heart suddenly moved, and said: "Mother, choose the best jade for me, and I will carve a peace necklace pendant for each of you." ”
The second floor of Jade Pavilion is the place for custom-made utensils.
When I came to the second floor, a bald and slightly chubby middle-aged man greeted him.
"Shopkeeper Nie, please take the best piece of jade. ”
The shopkeeper Nie was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Madam, jade has jade, mutton fat, Tianhuang, and green jade...... There are all kinds of things, and it is impossible to compare which piece is the best. ”
Lei Shaoxuan said: "Take the white jade, and by the way, take a set of jade carving utensils." ”
After a while, the shopkeeper Nie took a piece of white jade, delicate and soft, warm and moist like fat, and it was really the best.
Lei Shaoxuan secretly used spiritual power, and the white jade was as soft as fine mud, and it was divided into three pieces.
Lei Shaoxuan pondered for a moment, glanced at Gongsun Qian, and recalled the image of the Medicine Buddha in the Temple of Mercy and Grace with divine thoughts.
Lei Shaoxuan thought about it and carved a few words on the back: Compassion is like the sea, and happiness and longevity are good.
Seeing this, Gongsun Qian remembered her experience of painstakingly raising her children, and suffered countless grievances, but after all, it was not in vain, and the children were reunited safely, crying with joy.
Picking up another piece of jade, Lei Shaoxuan looked at his sister, remembering the children's song "Ode to Plum Blossoms" he sang to his sister when he was a child, and his heart was full of warmth and love.
Shen Nian used the knife to carve a lifelike plum blossom, and carved a line of words on the back: The jade heart will last forever, and the life will be wishful.
Lei Tong likes plum blossoms the most, and when he saw that he was engraved with his nickname, he snatched the pendant and couldn't put it down.
Lei Shaoxuan looked at Zhang Qianhua with an inquiring gaze and said, "What do you like to engrave?"
"Feel free," Zhang Qianhua shook her head, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Engrave a few ingots? Lei Shaoxuan joked.
Zhang Qianhua's eyes widened, and she said angrily: "Why don't you carve a few pigs and a few chickens and ducks, raise more chickens and ducks and raise more pigs?"
Lei Shaoxuan smiled dumbly, his mind was immersed in the jade, the carving knife was like flying, and after a while, a sassy and heroic man appeared in the jade, with a horizontal knife in the snow, domineering.
"Dad!" Zhang Qianhua saw this, tears welled up, and she was dripping.
I thought about it day by day, but my father's face became more and more blurred, and now that I got an image, my father's image became clear again.
Lei Shaoxuan sighed and engraved the words on the back: Think and wish, live forever.
Lei Shaoxuan cut his fingers, blood dripping jade, and carved two sets of formations on the jade with his divine thoughts, one set of evil to avoid disasters, and one set of bloodline chasing souls.
The blood soaked into the jade pendant, and the white jade suddenly became bright red and translucent, exquisitely clear, and even more agile.
Lei Shaoxuan said: "Mother, you should never take off the jade pendant at will, the jade pendant is broken but not broken, it is a warning, if it is not necessary, do not move forward; ”
Lei Tong said happily: "How could I take off such a good jade pendant? Brother has such a good carver, how can he be so poor? Brother is here, what danger can there be?"
Lei Shaoxuan smiled bitterly, his sister still didn't take her words seriously, she was warm, touched and a little worried.
"Tong'er, listen to my brother," Gongsun Qian scolded, "Don't be naughty." ”
Gongsun Qian looked at Lei Shaoxuan and said with pity: "Xuan'er, after choosing jewelry, my mother will make you a few clothes." ”
"Mother, no need. When Lei Shaoxuan heard this, he was a little embarrassed and said: "I am a military officer, and I am used to military uniforms, and this school lieutenant uniform is still new." "I'm used to wearing military uniforms, and I feel awkward to wear other clothes.
Lei Shaoxuan reported to the Ministry of War and unexpectedly learned that although he was enrolled in Guozijian, the Ministry of War did not cancel his military membership, but transferred the relationship from the Southern Army to the Ministry of War, which means that he is still an in-service officer.
"Dirt buns. Lei Tong glanced at Lei Shaoxuan's lieutenant uniform contemptuously, and said, "This is also called a lieutenant uniform?
“......”
Lei Shaoxuan couldn't cry or laugh.
Why don't you call it a school captain's uniform? Could it be that what is issued by the border army is not a real military uniform, but what is bought in a street store?
Looking at the so-called lieutenant uniform that his mother chose for him, Lei Shaoxuan couldn't help but shake his head.
The scarf is sewn with gorgeous silk, the shawl and shoulder pads are embroidered with red lace, the chest and back armor are made of crimson rhinoceros hollow skin, carved with a flying leopard pattern, the gold buckle is shining, and the red, green and white jade pieces are worn into jade belts, which are exquisite and gorgeous, and the upper and lower clothes are all brocade splicing, showing nobility and luxury.
"This is the real captain's uniform. Lei Tong said triumphantly: "The most popular style in Xijing, your name is Deflated Sanfu." ”
This set of captain's uniforms, except for the shoulder straps and complements to indicate that he is a captain, the rest of the styles are made of the most gorgeous and textured materials, which are both domineering and elegant, but they don't look like military uniforms.
"Isn't the military uniform unified?" Lei Shaoxuan felt quite strange.
"There are many children of the Xijing family who have joined the military, where are they willing to wear ordinary lieutenant uniforms?" Gongsun Qian sighed lightly, born in Jiangmen, naturally knew what this meant, "The military department has no choice but to allow the officers serving in the Xijing army to bring their own clothes, so there are all kinds of military lieutenant and lieutenant costumes. ”
Is this okay? Lei Shaoxuan was dumbfounded.
The military department is subservient to the family, and in this way, the prevailing trend of extravagance will inevitably affect the morale of the army, how can such an army be united in one mind? Lei Shaoxuan sighed secretly.
"Can this be used to fight a war? Buy a so-called real cadet costume, which is enough for the military salary of a captain of the Southern Army for several years. ”
Wearing such a gorgeous military uniform, Lei Shaoxuan felt very twisted, and said jealously: "Wearing this military uniform, on the battlefield of the bitter sea, he will definitely be besieged by the enemy, stripped naked, and killed; ”
Gongsun Qian smiled and said, "Not only do you have to wear this school captain uniform to fight, but it's also a big battle." ”
Lei Shaoxuan was a little confused.
"The battlefield is in the palace, at the 70th birthday banquet of the Queen Mother. Gongsun Qian looked at the heroic Lei Shaoxuan and said with relief, "Wear this school lieutenant uniform and accompany my mother to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet." ”
