040 Business Opportunities
These things, Shi Niang naturally did it without Xia Chenghe and Luo's family, and also ordered Su Shaonan not to mention it, Su Shaonan couldn't wait for Shi Niang to ask him a few more things, so that their relationship would become closer and closer.
Baozi secretly slandered his own father, for a little girl, he really wanted to go crazy.
August 21 is Song Yang's birthday, the eleventh mother and several sisters are invited to the ranks, the second mother is inconvenient to go out because of the engagement, the eleventh mother, the third mother, and the eighth mother each changed into new clothes and skirts and went to the Song Mansion to celebrate Song Yang's birthday with prepared gifts.
"You're finally here, and if you don't come, you're going to have a feast." Song Yang is wearing a bamboo leaf green dress today, with bright eyes and bright teeth, long hair tied in a delicate girl's bun, two strands of long hair hanging down in front of him, two pearls the size of pink fingernails hanging under his round ears, and large pink pearls of the same color on his forehead, which is more and more beautiful and moving with his delicate face.
Banniang's eyes were amazing, "Song Yang, you are so beautiful." ”
Song Yang turned around proudly, "It's good-looking, this dress was specially made for me by my brother, and this color of clothing is only available to me in Qingshui Town." ”
Banniang looked envious, "Your brother is so good to you." ”
Only the colorful long whip on her waist was too eye-catching compared to the cyan long skirt, and Eleven Niang pointed at the whip and laughed at her, "Why would Mrs. Song let you wear this on your birthday?" It won't be you who secretly ......."
Song Yang stiffened his nose, and glared at Eleven Niang dissatisfiedly, "You love to tell the truth, my mother told me a thousand times yesterday, but she didn't let me bring this, Su Shaonan is really, I know that my mother doesn't like me to play with whips, and she deliberately looked for a whip for me, so I can't wear it." ”
Although there was a little dissatisfaction in the words, the pride and joy on his face were undisguised.
Banniang laughed at her and was not ashamed, Song Yang didn't care, Eleven Niang and Sanniang pursed their lips and smiled.
Baoqin laughed dryly on the side, and secretly pulled his young lady's sleeve a few times, but he was ignored. Her young lady, is it to publicize the gift that Young Master Su gave her to the whole world?
Song Yang saw that their sisters were laughing weirdly, pursed their lips, snorted, and went up to take Eleven Niang's hand, "There are a lot of girls from the town today, let's go, I'll introduce you to you." However, those people have a stammering face, which makes people uncomfortable to watch, if you like it, you can talk to them for a while, and if you don't like it, let's talk about our own ......."
The smile on Baoqin's face was three points deeper, Miss, everyone came to celebrate your birthday after seeing the face of the old man and the young master, is it okay to offend people like this......
The female guests are divided into two places in the back garden, one is indoors, and Mrs. Song accompanies several ladies with heads and faces to chat and talk, and the other is outdoors, in the pavilion next to the cool small lake.
The ladies in red and green dresses were lying on the railing looking at the pool in the lake, some holding fans to hide their faces and chuckling, some pinching sweat towels and whispering softly in the ears of the young ladies beside them.
Seeing Song Yang coming, several young ladies who were talking to each other suddenly stopped talking, and beckoned to Song Yang with a smile, "Sister Song, I can look forward to you, come quickly, just wait for you alone......"
Song Yang raised his hand and waved, laughed casually, and whispered to Eleven Niang, "See, this laugh is the most fake, the most obedient, my mother was stunned by her." ”
"Bah, if you dare to say this in front of Mrs. Song, I will believe it." Banniang smiled and smacked her.
Song Yang pouted, "I'm not going, but the person is a relative of the Cao Governor's house, my brother is getting close to the Cao Governor's Mansion at this time, isn't it delaying my brother if I offend her!" ”
Eleven Niang thought for a moment and smiled, "I heard that something happened to your family's business in Yunzhou, how are you doing now?" ”
"You said that black-hearted rice?" Song Yang waved his hand, "It has been solved a long time ago, but recently it seems that there has been a problem with the tribute ointment, my brother and Su Shaonan almost fought, that bastard squeezed my brother everywhere, and he didn't even come to my birthday, so I'll wait and see." ”
Eleven Niang remembered the ointment that Song Yang gave her last time, and nodded clearly, "He is the only son of the Su family, how can he be as idle as us, but the long whip he gave you saw that it took a lot of effort, and he could make up for it." ”
Song Yang paused, and reluctantly muttered that Eleven Niang would help Su Shaonan if she didn't help herself, Eleven Niang laughed, and then she said slowly, "Okay, for the sake of you helping him speak, and for the sake of the long whip he gave me, I won't care about him." ”
While several people were talking, they had arrived outside the pavilion, and Song Yang wailed, "I'm already tired before I started, why do you want to invite them for your birthday......"
Eleven Niang pursed her lips and smiled, Banniang and Sanniang didn't know why, and looked at each other inexplicably.
I saw that the young ladies in the pavilion got up and called one after another, "Miss Song." ”
The sword and the book went up, and when they saw the colorful waist of their young lady, they looked at each other helplessly, "Miss." ”
Song Yang let go of Eleven Niang's hand, raised his hand on the arm that was holding the book, and a faint smile brewed on his face, not exaggerated or pretentious, more than too much is too little, just in line with the standard of everyone's young lady's smile, before taking a deep breath and moving lightly, Yu Guang nodded slightly towards Eleven Niang, and walked towards the pavilion, "I neglected all the young ladies, is it Song Yang." Sister Cao, thank you for the small glass screen, I really like it, Sister Fang, your hairpin is so beautiful, is it the new style of Jade Zhai in Beijing......"
The style of painting changed suddenly, making Banniang and Sanniang dumbfounded, "She, she ......"
Baoqin nodded very satisfied, Miss is so good, everyone's demeanor is dazzling.
Eleven Niang smiled, this is Song Yang in the eyes of outsiders, playful and beautiful, empathetic, and able to speak...... and the Song Yang they know are the only ones who can say whatever they want to say freely.
"Three young ladies, please inside."
Eleven Niang patted Banniang and Sanniang with one hand, and led the two to the steps, Song Yang finished greeting a circle of people, turned around to greet Eleven Niang, took her hand and introduced to everyone, "This is my good friend, surnamed Xia, ranked eleven, these are her two sisters, Banniang."
It's her two sisters, Banniang and Sanniang. ”
Several young ladies asked each other, what came today were all the young ladies who had family affairs in the town that they usually socialized, even if they didn't know each other very well, they all knew each other, these three Xia family ladies, they had never heard of it.
I haven't heard of it, there are only two possibilities, one is that they have more family status than them, and they are not qualified to know; The second is that their status is worse than theirs, and they don't need to know it.
But in this situation, Miss Song made it clear that she didn't want to introduce the family affairs of the three Xia girls, and several young ladies had no choice but to smile and greet them.
Sanniang and Banniang blushed all of a sudden, looking at a loss, carrying the skirt and following the blessing body, the movement range was almost squatting on the ground, several young ladies understood at once, glanced at each other, how much disdain flashed in their eyes, and one boldly sneered softly.
Song Yang's face sank suddenly, and he glared at the young lady fiercely, and the person next to him gently pulled the young lady, and the young lady pursed her lips and didn't start.
Eleven Niang held Banniang and Sanniang steadily, glanced at the arrogant young lady, smiled softly, made a standard salute, and said to Song Yang, "I'll go over there with my sister, you entertain your guests first." ”
Song Yang turned her back and apologized silently to Eleven Niang, Eleven Niang smiled and patted her hand, Song Yang had no choice but to shout Hug Qin and take Eleven Niang and the three of them out, and before she took a few steps, Miss Cao, who had greeted Song Yang before, spoke up, "Three sisters are slow, since you are here, it is better to stay together and say a few words, Sister Song, you are a guest from afar, how can you let Sister Xia go over there alone." ”
Song Yang wanted Eleven Niang to stay, but he didn't want those dogs to dislike them, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Someone stabbed the arrogant miss, and the arrogant lady reluctantly smiled, "Yes, Sister Cao gave the Song family's sister a glass transparent screen, which is as valuable as a gemstone, the three sisters have never seen it, so it's better to stay and enjoy it with us......"
"Sister Li laughed, but a screen is worth nothing." Miss Cao's smile was extremely faint, and she glanced at Miss Li, "The eldest brother of the younger sister of the Li family has won the Jinshi this year, so it must be rare to see such a thing." ”
A few young ladies around were holding a fan to cover the corners of their lips with a smile, Miss Li blushed with shame, who here doesn't know, her family was originally just a cold clothes, if it wasn't for her brother suddenly being lifted, she couldn't even enter the gate of the Song family, she was ashamed and angry for a while, and she didn't dare to offend the person who spoke, so she had to hang her head aggrievedly.
"Sister Cao......" Song Yang looked at Miss Cao with a grateful face, Miss Cao smiled at her knowingly, and nodded slightly to Eleven Niang.
Eleven Niang smiled lightly, looked at her and nodded, three women in one play, it was really a good show.
Banniang and Sanniang were dragged by Song Yang to sit on the stone bench, listening to them say things that were incompatible with themselves, they felt uncomfortable, Banniang secretly pulled Eleven Niang's clothes, "Eleven Niang, I want to go back." ”
Sanniang also nodded.
Eleven Niang didn't plan to stay longer, nodded her head, and was about to get up, when she suddenly heard Miss Cao say, "Since several sisters want to see the glass screen, Sister Song, it's better to take it and let the sisters have a look." ”
"Eleven Niang, do you want to see it too?" Song Yang asked Eleven Niang, Eleven Niang glanced at the young ladies with perfunctory smiles, and smiled faintly, "Okay." ”
Song Yang smiled, "Okay, since you also want to see it, then take it out and let's watch it together." ”
Holding the book and turning away, after a while, he brought an object covered with a red cloth, and the ladies whispered, "I heard that this screen was bought from other countries, and you can't buy it with silver......"
"I once saw a screen twice as big as this in the capital, and someone ......grabbed it when the price was 50,000 taels."
"It's so expensive......"
"Miss Cao is so good to Miss Song, she is willing to ...... such an expensive screen"
A smile appeared on Miss Cao's lips, some things have to be given up first, she just gave them up first, and sooner or later she will take them back.
Song Yang approached the three of them, "After watching the screen, we'll leave, and I'll take you to my room to play." ”
Banniang's eyes lit up, she nodded again and again, and Eleven Niang looked at her, "Eighth sister, aren't you going back?" ”
"I haven't seen what the rich lady's room is like, and I finally have the opportunity, of course I want to take a look." Banniang smiled and talked to Eleven Niang, and Sanniang shook her head with a smile.
Song Yang smiled, approached Banniang and wanted to say something, holding the book into the pavilion, and put the objects in his hand on the table, "Miss, the screen is here." ”
Holding the book and retreating, a group of young ladies gathered around, looking at the cloth covered by the screen, eager to try.
Song Yang raised his eyebrows at Eleven Niang, pinched the corner of the cloth, and slowly lifted it.
The screen is not large, and the vermilion sour branch wood frame holds an object shaped like a fan, the shape is transparent, crystal-like, and crystal clear.
To put it bluntly, it is just a glass pendant similar to a modern one, and inside is a picture of a hundred flowers in clusters, with bright and colorful colors, realistic and confusing.
Eleven Niang's eyes flickered, and she didn't know what she thought, and her eyes were bright.
A group of young ladies gasped in unison, "It's so beautiful." ”
"The flowers inside are as if they are alive, and they seem to move."
"I like it, if only I could have one......
Miss Cao listened to those people's discussions, her face was full of smiles, and a young lady who seemed to be close to Miss Cao shook Miss Cao's arm, "Sister Cao, where did you buy the screen, I want to go back and ask my father to buy one for me." ”
"It's not something that money can buy." Miss Cao smiled faintly, "This is a friend of mine my father knew who came back from the Jianghuai area, in addition to the palace, we are afraid that there are only five pieces in the whole Da'an, and I also have a glass pot at home, pour wine into the pot, the wine will change color, my father likes it very much." If Sister Fang likes it, go to my house tomorrow, and I'll ask my father for a gift, okay? ”
Miss Fang's eyes lit up and she said in surprise, "Is it okay?" Then he gave him a look and shook his head, "Forget it." ”
Miss Cao didn't either
Miss Cao didn't say much, looked sideways at the three sisters of Eleven Niang, and said to Eleven Niang, "How many sisters do you think they look good?" ”
"Beautiful." Eleven Niang smiled lightly, this screen is similar to the glass bottle she saw at the third aunt's house, I don't know if the screen and the glass pot of the Cao family have anything to do with the third aunt.
Miss Cao frowned slightly, she was very unhappy with Eleven Niang's indifferent and distant tone, with the previous Ba Niang and San Niang's ugliness, she naturally didn't think they were such noble guests, but she just wanted to get closer to Song Yang, and she was a little more kind to them, but she didn't expect this little girl to kick her nose in the face, hum.
chuckled twice, Miss Cao no longer bothered with Eleven Niang, and talked attentively with Miss Fang beside her, Song Yang instructed the sword to stay in the pavilion to serve these young ladies, and pulled Eleven Niang away.
Miss Cao stared thoughtfully at the backs of a few people walking away.
Miss Fang followed her gaze and pursed her lips, "Miss Song is really, my sister gave her such a valuable gift, it is not as good as a few yellow-haired girls who came out of nowhere, I am really wronged for my sister." ”
"We are all famous girls, and I want to come to Sister Song because I am afraid that her friends will be restrained." Miss Cao still smiled gently, but her eyes were a little colder because of Miss Fang's words.
The sword raised his eyes and glanced at Miss Cao and Miss Fang, and lowered his eyes.
Out of the pavilion's sight, Banniang breathed a long sigh of relief, "Oops, suffocate me, they are really tired of talking, their voices are as small as mosquitoes buzzing, and they can't hear clearly!" When he laughed, he covered his face with a fan, and he ...... tsk."
"So...... Song Yang spread his hands, "If my mother hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have bothered to deal with them." Let's go, I'll take you to see my collection of good things. ”
There is a screen in Song Yang's house that is three or four times larger than the one given by Miss Cao, which is a screen with four screens that include show girls, flowers, birds, and landscapes, and is placed next to the soft couch near the window.
Banniang exclaimed, "It's so beautiful, it's much better than the one Miss Cao gave you." ”
"Of course." Song Yang raised his head and said with a smile, "This is what my brother bought from Jianghuai, and it cost twenty or thirty thousand taels, she doesn't know who it is, what is there to see about borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." ”
Banniang grew her mouth in surprise, "It's so expensive." As he spoke, he reached out and carefully touched it, "It's so slippery and shiny, like ice cubes in winter." ”
"Yes, I think so too, just like the ice we play with in winter, that is, flowers and people are added to it." Song Yang looked like he had met his bosom friend, and pulled Banniang to chatter about other things in the house.
Banniang is particularly fond of Song Yang's big bronze mirror that can see people's clothes, Song Yang laughed at her stinky beauty, took a palm-sized bronze mirror to her, Eleven Niang and Sanniang looked at each other and laughed, the maid came in and served tea, a few people laughed and chatted in the house and waited until the banquet began, Banniang was scared by what Song Yang said when the chopsticks touched the plate when they were eating, and they couldn't chirp when they drank soup, and they hid in the house and didn't go out, Song Yang laughed at her for being timid, and Banniang ignored her, "I don't care, I took a gift, you have to take care of my food." ”
Song Yang simply went out and showed her head, set up a table of wine in the small flower hall outside her boudoir, and had a meal with the three sisters.
Not long after eating, the three sisters said goodbye and went home, and Eleven Niang didn't enter the house, but went directly to Xue Ye's house.
Xue Ye was doing his homework at home today, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he took a look at it and saw Eleven Niang, with a smile in his eyes, warm and clear, "Eleven Niang?" Didn't you bring a letter to you today? ”
"There's something particularly important to lend your study." Eleven Niang smiled at him, gradually getting used to the starlight smile in his eyes.
Xue Ye nodded, vacated half of the desk to her, looked up and asked her, "Can you use pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?" ”
"Well, yes."
Eleven Niang was not humble either, she sat down on the side he let out, and when Xue Ye was grinding, she spread out the white paper, pressed the paper with a paperweight, and gossiped with Xue Ye, "What homework has Mr. Lu assigned to you recently?" ”
"Mr. Lu gave me a book, which listed the topics of the children's examination, the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination in the past 30 years, so that I could study it well."
Eleven Niang was stunned and raised her head, "Mr. Lu wants you to take the imperial examination?" ”
Xue Ye avoided Eleven Niang's eyes and shook his head with a smile, "No, Mr. Lu just let me take a look." ”
Seeing his eyes flickering, Eleven Niang frowned slightly, but did not ask deeply, he had his own secrets, he didn't want to say it, she didn't force it.
Shi Niang didn't continue to ask, which made Xue Ye secretly relieved, and pushed the grinding over, "Okay." ”
"Thank you." After thanking her, Eleven Niang picked up the pen and lowered her head to concentrate on writing things, until the sunset, and wrote more than a dozen sheets, before she sighed and put away the pen.
"It's finished."
Xue Ye raised his head from the book, "Written?" ”
Eleven Niang nodded, carefully dried the ink marks on the paper one by one, put it away and put it in a large envelope, got up and stretched her arms and legs, and looked at Xue Ye, "Do you want to move?" ”
Xue Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, he slowly put down the book, and said lightly, "It's okay." Before the good words fell, the person had already flown out, Eleven Niang laughed, let go of Xue Ye on one side of her body, and swept towards the outside of the house.
"Stinky boy, I haven't seen light work for a few days, but I have made a lot of progress."
"......" Xue Ye subconsciously sniffed himself, taking a bath every day, where did the smell come from?
Eleven Niang saw the opportunity to step on the tree, folded a sword, and attacked from top to bottom, Xue Ye flashed quickly, grabbed the long sword on the weapon rack under the tree, and reflexively blocked Eleven Niang's wooden branches.
"Good!" Eleven Niang praised him for his hard work and rapid progress, and praised him for finally learning to use the mystery of swordsmanship flexibly and draw inferences from one another.
Under the setting sun, the figures of the two were gradually elongated, crossing a layer of golden light, and the robes flew like butterflies......
Eleven Niang's long letter was addressed to the third aunt Mo Shouchen, and Mo Shouchen, who received the letter, thought that it was related to the little girl's secret cultivation of power mentioned by the little girl some time ago, but he didn't want to open the letter and see it inside
When he got to the contents, he immediately stood up from his chair.
What did he see?!
Glass, an object similar to a glass bottle, can produce mirrors that see people more clearly than copper mirrors, can produce large pieces of transparent crystals instead of paper and thin silk windows, and can produce a variety of amazing and beautiful works of art......
Ordinary glass is made of soda ash, limestone, quartz and feldspar as the main raw materials, mixed in the glass kiln melted, clarified, homogenized and then processed into shape, and then annealed to obtain glass products......
The letter describes in detail the shape of these raw materials and all the characteristics of the distribution area, as well as the ideas needed to make the zuò process.
Mo Shouzhen looked at them one by one, almost forgetting to breathe, until he finished reading it, and let out a long breath, although Eleven Niang deliberately noted at the end of the letter that he saw the recipe from a book by chance and didn't know if it could work, Mo Shouzhen's eyes still bloomed with a fiery gaze, he carefully put away the letter and put it away, got up and went to the desk to grind and lay the paper, picked up the pen and wrote a letter, and asked Jiang Yi to send the letter out.
On the second day, he went to the town, called out Eleven Niang, and went to a restaurant.
"How sure are you of what is written in the letter?" As soon as he saw Eleven Niang, Mo Shouchen couldn't wait to ask.
Eleven Niang entered the house and closed the door, and when the shopkeeper went out with tea, she nodded and said to Mo Shou, "It's completely written according to the content in memory, not ninety percent but eighty percent." ”
"Same thing as this one?" Mo Shouzhen held back the excitement in his heart, and handed the glass bottle brought back from Jianghuai to Eleven Niang, Eleven Niang shook his head, Mo Shouzhen's heart sank, "It's different?" ”
Eleven Niang smiled, "No, if the glass can be made, the effect is purer and better looking than the color of the glass bottle." The third aunt thought, in this world, apart from men and women, what woman resists and has a mirror that can see her appearance clearly? ”
"Mirrors?" Mo Shouzhen's eyes lit up, "Can you see people clearly in the mirror?" ”
Such a market ......
