Chapter 49: Topaz hairpin
Jumbo Zhai is not far away, the carriage soon arrived at the door, Jumbo Zhai door face is not big, low-key two-story building, small brand, mixed in the surrounding jewelry, gold splendid jewelry store. If you don't know, you think it's just an ordinary small shop.
Lin Long and Lin Liu followed Qu to get out of the carriage, Lin Liu never forgot to bury Lin Long, raised his eyelids, glanced at Lin Long up and down, and said pretendly: "The third sister is from the countryside, she has a short knowledge, and she has never seen any good things, I always have to take care of one or two as a younger sister, so let me pick it for you." ”
When the eldest lady in front heard this, she lowered her eyelids slightly, as if she hadn't heard anything, and the old monk was settled.
"So good?" Lin Long raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't want to fight with a little girl. But Lin Liu was buzzing in her ears all the time like a fly, not biting people, not beating her, she always kicked her nose and face.
Lin Long pinched the handkerchief in his hand, turned his eyes to her, and said in a natural tone: "Don't take care of one or two, just take care of eight or nine, sister might as well give up your share of jewelry, sister will remember you well." ”
I didn't expect Lin Liu to be so thick-skinned and actually say such a thing, Lin Liu immediately choked.
"What, my sister doesn't want to?" Lin Long raised his eyebrows, and his inky black phoenix eyes clearly poured out a touch of mockery, which made Lin Liu's face flush with shame, but Lin Long didn't want to let her go, and continued:
"I thought my sister really wanted to take care of me, a sister who had never seen the world, but you just said it, and the upper and lower mouths were together, but it was light, and the feelings were teasing me.
is so light to promise and break the contract, and because you are my own sister, I will allow you, otherwise I will rely on my sister's lies and different temperaments, so that outsiders can meet them, and they think that our family education is not good. ”
Lin Long's opening is not a little girl stumbling and bickering, she directly characterizes her in character, if such a word is spread, Lin Liu will not want to marry a good family.
Who would want a daughter-in-law who is full of lies and hypocrisy.
Moreover, Lin Long is also the princess of the saint, and when she marries in the future, her identity is not ordinary, and the person she evaluates is very likely to affect her for a lifetime.
Lin was young and didn't understand the danger, and he wanted to open his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Qu's look.
Qu glanced at Lin Long coldly, his eyes were warning, and then he scolded Lin Liu: "Joking also depends on the occasion, and my sisters can't make any joke." She characterized the incident as a joke between sisters.
Lin Liu was judged to have a bad family education, but it was not just a matter of one person, but even affected other sisters in the family. It's Lin Long, because he grew up in Qi County, he won't be involved.
The entrance of Jumbo Zhai is not as lively as the general jewelry shop, but it is a little sparse, but the entry and exit are all dignitaries. When Lin Liu spoke loudly, others noticed them.
In the middle of the night, a mother and daughter walked over, their eyes lingered on Lin Long for a while, and then fell on Qu's body.
Seeing this pair of mothers, Qu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Mrs. Lu, what a coincidence, I actually met here, did you also bring the five ladies to pick out jewelry?" ”
Mrs. Lu Sun is the wife of the Ministry of Shangshu, born in Ruyang Sun, noble status, Qu family wants to climb on weekdays can not find a way, today actually met in Zhenbao Zhai, what a fate.
"Mrs. Lin." Mrs. Lu bowed her head slightly, her expression was noble but kind, "This is the third lady, what a rare beauty." Mrs. Lu's gaze moved to Lin Long, with a somewhat unobnoying look, and her eyes were gentle and clear.
"This is Sanniang...... and Liuniang. Mrs. Lin hesitated for a long time, but still introduced Lin Liu, and at the same time secretly beat the drum in her heart, and she didn't know if the other party heard what she said just now.
"Mrs. Lu is well." Lin Liu rushed to greet Lin Long in front of him, curling the corners of his lips with a cute smile. Then he stared at the pink-clothed girl behind Mrs. Lu with round eyes, and her tone was a little curious and affectionate, "This is the fifth sister, this is the first time I have seen my sister." ”
The young and the old are orderly, although Mrs. Lu doesn't like Lin Liu's words, but she has excellent cultivation and will not worry about the little girl, she only bows her head slightly, which can be regarded as responding to Lin Liu's greetings. Then his eyes still fell on Lin Long, his eyes were gentle and encouraging, as if waiting for her to speak.
Lin Long curtsied, "Madame Wanfu." ”
"Good girl." Mrs. Lu stepped forward to help Lin Long with her own hand, and pulled Lu Wuniang with her right hand, "This is Wu Niang, you are of the same age, you can get along well." ”
The difference was so obvious that Lin Liu could barely hold back the expression on his face, crying and mourning, almost crying.
Fortunately, Mrs. Lu's next sentence was, "There is also Liuniang, the three of you get along." ”
Lu Wuniang glanced at Lin Long a few times without a trace, revealing a shy smile, but her words were generous: "Are the two younger sisters also here to pick out jewelry?" It just so happens that we are companions, and my mother's vision is always inconsistent with mine, and this time there are two younger sisters, I want to see who has a more unique vision. ”
Mrs. Lu chuckled when she heard this, and said to Qu: "The things that their little girls love are different from ours, let's pick them one by one and let them be together." It saved me from doing bad things with good intentions, and after a lot of effort, she didn't like it and ended up complaining. ”
Qu flattered: "No, new and exquisite things emerge in an endless stream, they are young and quick to accept, my family's seven mothers often dislike me for picking out dresses and jewelry for her that is not to her liking." ”
The atmosphere became familiar, and the two families entered the treasure house together.
Because Zhenbao Zhai receives female guests all the year round, the shopkeeper inside is also a woman, known as Zhao Qiniang.
Seeing a few people coming in, Zhao Qiniang got up to greet her, she wore a set of goose yellow skirts, which was originally a very provocative color, but because of her white skin, it was very suitable to wear on her, and she had a very good complexion.
A pair of apricot eyes are curved, matching the royal blue tassel forehead ornament between the forehead, reflecting the whole person's bright and dazzling color.
"Huh?" The girl's feelings for beautiful and novel things are the most obvious, Lu Wuniang found the forehead ornament on Zhao Qiniang's forehead at a glance, turned her head to look at it, and amazement flashed in her eyes: "But what is new, this forehead ornament looks so good." ”
"Five ladies have a good eye." Zhao Qiniang pursed her lips and chuckled, she was born elegant and delicate, and when she was a flatterer, she also had three points of comfort, "This is one of the new batch of forehead ornaments made by the little lady of the east family, the fifth lady came just in time, this batch of forehead ornaments has just been put out, you are the first to pick it." ”
Lu Wuniang's eyes lit up, and the joy on her face couldn't be hidden: "Is it Luan Niang's own handmade zuò?" I like the jewelry made by Luan Niang the most, but unfortunately every time it comes, it is all bought out, and Luan Niang herself is also a lazy person and refuses to do more. ”
"Exactly, it's all made by the little lady of the owner." Zhao Qiniang only replied to the previous sentence, but refused to say anything else.
Waiting for the affirmative reply, Lu Wuniang smiled with a smile, took Lin Long's hand, and said happily: "Let's go and see, the forehead ornament made by Luan Niang herself is not good, she is lazy, and it took a long time to come out." ”
Lin Liu grabbed ahead of Lin Long and spoke, looking curious: "Who is Luan Niang?" ”
"Luan Niang is the youngest daughter of the owner of Zhenbao Zhai, her hand skills and meticulous craftsmanship are not even comparable to Master Zhen." Lu Wuniang's words are very respectful of this Luan Niang.
Mrs. Lu, who was walking in front, turned around, looked at her happy daughter and couldn't help but shake her head, and said to Qu's family: "She wanted to have a forehead ornament made by Luan Niang herself a long time ago, and today she got what she wanted, look at her joy." ”
Everyone stepped forward, and a little girl arranged for the ladies and ladies to sit on the tea, Zhao Qiniang made a gesture, and after a while, a row of little girls came with a tray.
There are five trays in total, each with a delicate forehead ornament on top.
Lin Liu looked at this and that, and he was about to pick and choose, only to feel that either one was good, and he wanted everything. Fortunately, she didn't lose her manners, and she also knew that she was humble to Lu Wuniang and let her pick first.
Lu Wuniang smiled, didn't pick first, but turned her head to look at Lin Long: "Which one does Sanniang like?" ”
Lin Long's gaze moved over the five forehead ornaments in turn, and then shook his head in Lu Wuniang's expectant gaze, and his tone was light: "General." ”
She spoke softly, but it was these two words that surprised everyone in the room. Without waiting for Zhao Qiniang to speak, Mrs. Lin Qu said in a hurry: "What nonsense, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, all the jewelry in this treasure is unique." ”
After speaking, Qu sneered at Mrs. Lu: "Sanniang, she just arrived in Beijing, she doesn't know the fame of Zhenbaozhai, and she doesn't see any jewelry on her body, so it's normal to not understand." ”
Qu wanted to turn the page on the matter, but Zhao Qiniang turned it back again, she looked at Lin Long, and for the first time in her perennial gentle tone, she was unswerving: "Can the third lady tell me where it is?" Her tone was aggressive, as if Lin Long couldn't say the meridian, so she looked good.
It's rare that she, a businesswoman, has such a big tone and asks the little lady of the official family. However, what is even more rare is that no one in the house stopped them.
Everyone thinks that Zhao Qiniang is right, but Lin Long has no vision and is open-mouthed.
Lin Long didn't reply to Zhao Qiniang's words, but suddenly said, "I want to see the yellow jade hairpin in your store." ”
Zhao Qiniang's eyes were originally staring at Lin Long, and her expression was slightly compulsive, but as soon as Lin Long spoke, her momentum suddenly changed subtly, and the two seemed to be exchanged, Zhao Qiniang subconsciously replied: "On the second floor." ”
As soon as the words came out, Zhao Qiniang was stunned, wondering in her heart, for some reason facing the little lady in front of her, she always had a feeling of kneeling and surrendering.
Since the guest spoke, although Zhao Qiniang was not satisfied with Lin Long's pickiness of the forehead ornament, she still took the group to the second floor.
Lin Liu followed Lin Long's side, pouting, a little unhappy, "Look at what the topaz hairpin is doing, that hairpin is not for sale, what is there to look at." "Although Lin Liu has never been to Zhenbaozhai, he knows the rules of Zhenbaozhai. In the center of the second floor of Zhenbao Zhai, there is a topaz hairpin, the workmanship is poor, but it is called the treasure of the town store, and it is only shown in the center, but it is not sold.
On the second floor, Lin Long walked to the Huang Yurpin and looked at it a few times, and then asked Zhao Qiniang out loud: "Not for sale?" ”
"Not for sale!"
"I'll give 10,000 taels." As soon as she finished speaking, Qu immediately said, "Shut up." She said this quickly and sharply, and suddenly she spoke, startling everyone. It wasn't until everyone turned their heads to focus on her that Qu Shi laughed twice and explained, "Children are not sensible, what nonsense, the topaz hairpin is the treasure of the town store, since it is sold, how can we force the store." ”
Lin Long didn't pay attention to Qu at all, his eyes were still on Zhao Qiniang, and he repeated: "Don't sell? ”
"Sanniang." Qu couldn't help but step forward and grab Lin Long's sleeve, ignoring his demeanor, and scolded in a low voice, "Don't mess around." "Ten thousand taels is not a small amount, let alone ten thousand taels, even one thousand taels, and the Lin family can't take it out. This Lin San is really too nonsense, he is acting unscrupulously in the house, and he can't imagine that he is also a troublemaker outside.
When I return home, I must report to the old lady and ask the two grandmothers to teach the rules well.
Zhao Qiniang didn't expect Lin Long to be so persistent, Qu's hint was so obvious, she almost pointed at Lin Long's nose and said that she couldn't afford it, she actually looked at her stubbornly, wanting to get an answer from her.
"Not for sale." Zhao Qiniang shook her head.
Hearing this, Lin Long did not hang her head in disappointment as everyone imagined, but laughed, and she asked again, "What about the delivery?" Is it okay to send me a topaz hairpin? ”
There's something wrong with her brain!
Qu almost fainted, she swore that when she went back, she must reflect to the old lady well, and never let Lin San go out lightly before she got married, and stay honest in the mansion.
Mrs. Lu is also unbelievable, no one sells it, she actually asked again and again, and now she has asked her family to send it.
She really didn't know what to say.
When we first met, I only felt that this Lin San was born well, his eyes were clear and transparent, but he was a little anxious, and it was too ruthless to deal with Lin Liu's provocation.
But in the final analysis, the Sun family still looks down on this future princess, whether it is appearance, manners, words or temperament, they don't have to choose.
As a result, looking at it now, Sun really wanted to ask: This thing is not a fool, right?
She just thought that people were stupid on her side, and then something happened to make her even more stupid.
In a stunned and sluggish state, Zhao Qiniang's voice was extremely clear, and there was a faint echo.
She said, "Send." ”
Everyone's heart:, (⊙▽⊙)——
