Chapter 185: Asking for Marriage

Please ask the shopkeeper Han to help find someone, and it is inevitable to explain the identity and origin of the child clearly, but it is difficult to mention Zhang's stubble. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Fortunately, the shopkeeper Han didn't get to the bottom of it, and readily agreed, "When I get to Qizhou, I will inquire carefully." It's just that his background is a little special, and he doesn't know his surname, if the person who sent him away back then insisted on concealing it, I'm afraid it would take a lot of trouble to find it. ”

"I know it's not easy. Mulan nodded, "It's important for me to find this person, please ask Shopkeeper Han to bother more." I should pay for the carriage and horse expenses used to find the person, and the shopkeeper Han only reported it when he arrived. ”

"That's secondary. Shopkeeper Han smiled and waved his hand, "I'm just afraid that Miss Xie will be in a hurry to wait, so let me know in advance." Miss Xie don't worry, as soon as there is news, someone will send a letter back. ”

Mulan got up and solemnly blessed her, "Thank you to Shopkeeper Han for that." ”

Shopkeeper Han hurriedly avoided the side, and bowed back: "Miss Xie doesn't need to be so polite, she should do her best when she makes up her mind." ”

The two have done business before, and this time they are familiar with the road. There is no need for the Chinese to guarantee it, and the deed signed in Sanshui Town will be slightly changed, and it will be re-signed and pledged, and it will not take much effort to get it.

Mulan put the deed away and took out another stack of drawings. In the past few days, things have been one after another, and she has not been able to get free, but she has saved a lot of drawings, and there is a thick stack.

Shopkeeper Han took a serious look at it and felt very satisfied. However, he is not a jeweler after all, and how to use it will have to wait for someone who is proficient in this area to see.

Mulan specially mentioned the idea of a hair net, she had made a hair net with the moon when she was in Sanshui Town, but it was designed for young women. The craftsmen under the shopkeeper Han have seen it and think that this kind of net focuses on weaving skills, and the beads and inlaid treasures are luxurious, but they are inevitably suspicious of dominating the guests.

At present, high buns and heavy jewelry are in vogue, and this kind of hair ornament is difficult to find among the ladies and ladies of the wealthy families. If it is made simply, it is more suitable for women who are engaged in labor. Their jewelry shop was a rich man's business, and it was a bit cheap to put such a simple thing on the counter, so it was not adopted.

Listening to Mulan talk about the new use of the hair net, the shopkeeper Han was also quite inspired. Nowadays, most of the jewelry shops are heavy and ornate jewelry, and there are also some small and lightweight ones, which are for the old ladies with thinning hair.

No matter what age a woman is, she doesn't love beauty, and if there is a way to wear that heavy and gorgeous, which one should choose a small and lightweight one? and then work the material of the net, it is indeed a good idea to open up sales.

There was no mention of this kind of hair net in the stack of drawings, and the shopkeeper Han was afraid that he would not think about it enough, so he specially took a pen and paper and asked Mulan to draw a copy separately.

Mulan drew a pattern for him, and asked her the question she had been curious about, "Those ideas I came up with in the fishing village have already been adopted by the shopkeeper Han, and I don't know where the finished products are sold? I have been in the capital for more than half a year, but I have never seen a similar style." ”

Shopkeeper Han didn't expect her to suddenly ask about it, her eyes flickered, and then she smiled: "At that time, the new dynasty was just established, and the situation was unknown. ”

In fact, before his craftsmen had time to make those patterns into finished products, Hou Qi found him and asked him to give Mulan a sum of silver in the name of settlement as a coil for her to enter Beijing. After Mulan called to take over the country's mansion, heavy and gorgeous jewelry became popular from the capital to the major state capitals.

He did create a batch of finished products and send them to the shop in the south for trial sale, and after they were put on the counter, almost no one cared about them, only the makeup box carved by Haizi sold very well.

He didn't say these words to Mu Lan well, so he was deliberately vague when he answered.

Mulan didn't notice the slight difference in his expression, and nodded in understanding, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to sell it if I get it to the capital now, and the drawings I designed these times have specially referred to the current fashionable styles, and I hope it can be sold." ”

Shopkeeper Han did not assert lightly, and said with a smile: "The patterns sent by Miss Xie the first two times have already been built, and they will be on the counter soon, and the profits will be distributed according to the deed." If Miss Xie is waiting for the money to be used urgently, go to the Yizhen Pavilion and say it, and someone will settle with you. ”

Mulan also owed Zhao Chonghua two hundred taels of silver, and she was really waiting for the money to be used urgently, so she responded with a "good". After talking about the business, she asked about another thing that made her worry, "I wonder if the third holy prince can meet me today?"

"After reading the letter sent by Miss Xie, I sent someone to ask, the third son of the saint happened to be in Beijing these days, and promised to come over today to meet Miss Xie. Shopkeeper Han glanced out the window, "This hour is not bad." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the door curtain lifted, and Hou Qi Shi walked in with a smile, "Brother Han, Miss Xie." ”

The two got up and returned the salute, and the shopkeeper Han withdrew under the pretext of excuse, leaving only Mulan to sit opposite the seven and two of them. After a few words of greeting, Mulan went straight to the point, "How is the compass made?"

"My skilled craftsmen have tried and found the right way to make it. It can be made in one month at the earliest, and three months at the latest. Hou Qi didn't make a long speech this time, and replied concisely.

"Really?" Mulan couldn't hold back her excitement, her eyes sparkled, "Then when will I be able to get the compass?"

Hou Qi shook the fan in his hand, "After it is made, it will be taken to the sea for fine debugging, but I can ask them to send one over for Miss Xie to play with." ”

"Thank you, Holy Third Prince. Mulan smiled and thanked him.

Looking at her flower-like smile, Hou Qi was stunned for a moment, and soon returned to normal, "Miss Xie doesn't have to be polite, just let me give a big gift in advance." ”

Mulan felt that his use of the word "advance" was a little weird, and he was only immersed in the joy of the compass being made, and did not think deeply.

When Li Cang returned to the house, he went straight to the main room to ask to see Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li couldn't help frowning when she heard the report, "He's not in school, why did he suddenly come back at this time?"

Ordered the girl to invite him in, and when he saw that his head was full of sweat in the winter, he couldn't help but complain, "I'm a teenager, how can I still be as impatient as a three- or five-year-old child?

Ziyan, quickly wet the handkerchief to wipe the young master......"

"Mother. Before Mrs. Li finished speaking, Li Cang knelt on the ground with a "plop", "Mother, my son has something important to tell you." ”

Mrs. Li What he was going to say was extraordinary, waved his hand, sent the girl down, and called his breast name: "Brother Fu, what is the matter with you? ”

Li Cang knelt still, looked at Mrs. Li's eyes and said word by word: "My son wants to marry the girl of the Xie family as his wife, please fulfill my mother!"
