Chapter 52: Pearls
"Shopkeeper Qin, this is the pearl that our young lady only got recently, you can take a look and help us inlay it and make some heads!" On this day, Qin Li was watching the young man clean up the counter in Mingyu Pavilion, and not long after the door opened, he saw the mother-in-law next to Hua Jin coming to the door. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Qin immediately came over and said, "It turned out to be Mama Rong, how is Miss Hua Jin lately?"
Mama Rong saluted, "Hello shopkeeper Qin, everything is fine Miss, before I came, I also explained that it was good to ask the shopkeeper Qin, and I also want to ask if the first batch of goods has been delivered and started to sell?"
Qin Li calculated, "It takes about ten days from our Tongzhao County to the capital, it should have arrived, if there is any news, I will definitely inform Miss as soon as possible." β
Mama Rong just asked, the capital is far away, and the news is also slow to be transmitted, "Trouble the shopkeeper Qin, by the way, this is our miss's pearl, I want to find the master of Mingyu Pavilion to give me some jewelry." As he spoke, he handed the small box in his hand to Qin Li.
Qin Li is the shopkeeper of Mingyu Pavilion, and he deals with these jewels every day, I heard that he wants to use pearls to make jewelry, but it is not unusual, those things sold by Huajin are worth a lot of money, and he can still afford to buy some pearl heads for himself. But when he opened it, he was shocked.
Each pearl in the box is almost the same size, the candlelight is pink and beautiful, it is the top pearl, such a pearl, even if it is a noble lady in the capital, it is not easy to get, although the pearl is not a top material, but the pearl with good color is very valuable.
"The old man can still see such a good pearl!" Qin Li sighed and took out a pearl and looked at it carefully, since he was assigned to such a place, he couldn't see anything good, he didn't expect Hua Jin to actually take out such a good pearl, and he couldn't help but think of the scenery when he was still in the capital.
Mama Rong also lives in Beijing, or in a place like the Princess's Mansion where rare treasures are common, she thinks that such pearls are rare, otherwise she will not stop Huajin from making pearl powder.
"I don't know if I can ask the master to come out and see it?"
Qin Li shook his head, "The master of this Mingyu Pavilion is average, if he does it, I am afraid that he will spoil such a good pearl, if Miss Huajin believes me, she will give me the pearl, and I will send it to the best master in the capital, and I will definitely make the best jewelry." β
Rong Mama naturally knows that the master's craftsmanship in the capital is the best, but jewelry is not very casual, what skin color, what temperament, what face shape, what material jewelry is suitable for, it is not the same, she is afraid that it is not suitable for Huajin, it is a pity.
Qin Li also saw her hesitation, so he swore a promise, "When the time comes, let the county lord of our family personally watch it, and ensure that it is suitable for Miss Huajin." β
Thinking of Chang Yurao, who likes Hua Jin in various ways, Rong Mama put her mind at ease, in fact, this pearl is really expensive to ordinary people, but for Hua Jin, she really doesn't feel precious, there are pearl oysters in such a big lake in the space, there are many better ones than this, Rong Mama gave it to Qin Li with confidence, and asked him to make jewelry for Hua Jin.
Qin Li got the pearl, immediately packed it well, invited the guy to rush to the capital overnight, and after the fifteenth, the guy rode a horse and arrived at the Marquis of Anguo's mansion.
"This dress must be tried by the prince himself!" The embroidery lady of the Hou Mansion held the red wedding dress and looked at Chang Yulei's little maid helplessly.
"My body is about the same as Childe's, Childe said, I'll just try it. It's about to be autumn, and the son is busy studying, so there is no need to work him for this little thing. "Xiuniang heard him say this, but had to let him try, although it is important to study, but such a big thing as getting married, the son seems to have nothing to do with himself, no matter what it is, all handed over to others to do, there is no positive and happy performance at all. I got married immediately, but it didn't seem like there was such a thing.
On the other hand, Chang Yulei was painting in the study, Chang Yurao heard that the dress was ready, and went to her brother's room to find him, but found that the one who tried the dress was actually a small girl, so she took the maid to the study to find Chang Yulei, she also wanted to see her brother wearing a wedding dress, but she didn't expect her brother to try it himself.
When she got closer, she thought that her brother was very busy with reading, but she found that he was actually painting crape myrtle flowers, the red crape myrtle flowers bloomed brilliantly on the paper, and she was lonely and independent, and she was carrying a poem on the side, and when she looked at it, she knew that it was the crape myrtle flower made by Hua Jin.
Although Chang Yurao is simple, she is not stupid, even if she didn't feel it at first, but now, she still has some feelings, "Brother, don't you want to marry Sister Ying?"
Hearing his sister's straightforward inquiry, Chang Yulei's movements paused, and then he looked up at her, "What nonsense, my brother is about to get married!"
"But you're not happy, you don't care about getting married at all, and you don't like to try on dresses!" Chang Yurao and Mo Yingying grew up together, Mo Yingying is one year older than her, and she is very popular in the young lady's circle, but she doesn't know why, she always can't get close to her.
Chang Yulei smiled and pinched her face, "My brother is a man, how can I spend all my time on this kind of thing, studying and doing government is what my brother should do, do you think they are all the same as you, thinking about eating and drinking every day?"
"No, you still cared about Sister Huajin and Xiao Gong before, but you never said so many things to Sister Ying!" Chang Yurao looked at her brother, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that her brother didn't like this marriage.
Chang Yulei has always known that although his sister is simple, she is not stupid, too, he is so obvious, it would be strange if he couldn't see it.
Hearing his sister mention Hua Jin, he remembered that the girl who seemed to hide a lot of secrets, only nine years old, if so, if it was a little older, isn't it, thinking of this, I felt that I thought too much, even if Hua Jin was the right age, he was not worthy of his identity, although, he knew in his heart that maybe for Hua Jin, the so-called identity was what she scoffed at, how could such a free, comfortable soul be willing to be bound in such a deep mansion compound, this family, it cost her mother a lifetime, it was enough, why imprison another oneοΌ
"Since you don't like it, why don't you say it, if you don't agree, your father and mother won't force you!" Chang Yurao didn't understand why she didn't like it, and agreed to this marriage.
looked at Chang Yulei, and then looked at the painting, crape myrtle, crape myrtle "Brother, you won't like Sister Huajin, it's impossible, Sister Huajin is still a child!"
Hearing this, Chang Yulei's heart was shocked, and his eyes were shaken, but he quickly recovered, "You also said that she is a child, my brother just admires a woman like her, okay, don't think about this, it is my brother's willingness to marry Mo Yingying, because she is no different from others, she will be a good wife, and this is enough." β
However, Chang Yurao looked at her brother, if she didn't like it, would she be happy with this kind of life? She also wondered, would she also face such a marriage in the future? Because of her identity, she was at a loss......
The brother and sister were silent for a while, and Chang Yulei's little servant suddenly knocked on the door, "Son, Miss, the shopkeeper of Tongzhao County Qin sent someone to ask to see you!"
Hearing that it was someone from Tongzhao County, the two of them said in unison, "Let people in!"
