You don't have to think about it to know that Aman's reputation will definitely be greatly affected.

The children were all on the ice, and Amana was with them...... These people in front of them are all acquaintances, and it's okay, if you invite someone from the side to come again, people will see Aman and a girl mixed with a large group of boys, huddled together, and even pushed and bumped together......

Qiu Chen agreed, walked to Qin Zheng and stopped, followed Yang Jingyong's fingers, and looked through the wide open window. I just saw twenty or thirty half-sized children on the ice, all wearing skates, holding clubs, training ice hockey skills on the ice, among which a small man at the forefront was wearing a red jacket, red pants and red leather robe, and even the skates on his feet were red, not someone else, but Aman! Looking further back, it is Ah Fu who is dressed in indigo, Junzhang is dressed in lake blue, and Junyan is dressed in bamboo green...... There are also two brothers of the Tang family, Jia Zhuo and Jia Fei......

"My sister came just in time, it's lively, and my sister came to take a look!"

Qiu Chen smiled at An Ying, who came forward to help her, and raised his head to look over.

Yang Jingyong didn't wait for Qiu Chen to salute, so he hurriedly ordered someone to support him.

Qiu Chen bypassed a quadruple screen that returned from the wind and snow, and came to the open pavilion, and did not look around, but only bowed to the two princes sitting on the top seats.

Linbo Xuan is an open Xuan, in winter, the doors and windows have been installed on all sides, and only the five pairs of window sashes on the lake surface are removed, so that people can sit in the open Xuan and have a clear view of the situation on the ice.

Thinking about it, relieved, Qiu Chen instructed his mother-in-law to carry the warm sedan chair, all the way to Linbo Xuan, got off the warm sedan chair, cleaned up his appearance slightly, and walked in slowly.

Immediately, Qiu Chen thought that there was an emperor in the previous dynasty who loved to juju, and because Gao Yu played well, he gave high-ranking officials generous and unlimited favor; There is also an emperor's love for fighting crickets, which led hundreds of people to die because they couldn't catch qualified crickets. In the later generations of Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", there is also an article "Promoting Weaving", which is what it says...... Think about the emperors of the Ming Dynasty in history, some of whom loved to be carpenters, and some who loved to set up stalls and do small business...... embarrassed, compared to those second-hand emperors, Yang Jingyong and Yang Jingfang, the two brothers, are not too outrageous!

Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, and then he came to his senses, and he only sighed for the two unobtrusive princes. The brothers of the Yang family, not to mention King Cheng and the degraded King of Qi, the two brothers King Yong and Prince Fu are really more unreliable than the other. They all play like big children, and they don't have the solemnity of a prince.

The mother-in-law lowered her hand and replied: "Back to Mrs., the two princes said that there are fewer people and it is not lively, so they sent someone to the eldest princess's mansion to invite the eldest prince of Song...... Hou Ye also sent someone to invite someone, saying that it was not fun to watch the boys play in the ice, and Hou Ye and the princes also had to play on the ice......"

Qiu Chen agreed, and then asked, "But there are others?" ”

When I arrived at the back garden, a mother-in-law came up to report back: "The Hou Ye accompanied the two princes to Linbo Xuan...... The second uncle and the young master, the cousin, the young master of the Tang family, and the two young masters are all over there. ”

The previous report came, Hou Ye accompanied the two princes to the back garden, one was that the prince of Yong wanted to meet his old friends, and the other was that the two princes heard that the children were organized in the house to practice ice hockey, and they also wanted to join in the fun.

Qiu Chen shook her head amusedly, got up and walked to the dressing mirror, tidied up her sideburns and placket, and instructed Chengying to stay with light, put away those jewelry boxes and count them into storage, she took Mama Lin, laurel and steamed snow, wrapped in a snow fox skin cloak embroidered with a delicate yellow plum blossom, all the way out of Mu'en Courtyard, took a warm sedan chair, and went to the back garden.

The girls also restrained their thoughts, paid attention to the jewelry in Qiu Chen's hair, and praised them non-stop.

"I knew that Mrs. 's hibiscus hairpin was good-looking, and now with these two butterflies, it is like picking flowers and collecting hair, attracting butterflies to ......"

"It's really beautiful!"

She can't take over the world and reach the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but she can quietly moisten all things on the earth and absorb advanced foreign technology silently with the posture of spring rain...... Let go of vain pride and arrogance, and look at a qiē with humility and objectivity, so that we will not rest on our laurels and will not repeat the mistakes of history.

Since she has come to this era that is similar to but different from history, let's do our best to avoid the catastrophe of national history!

Qiu Chen blinked, and what he saw was the clear glass mirror in front of him, and the woman dressed in Tsinghua in the mirror!

Sighing secretly, he put aside his inexplicable thoughts.

Qiu Chen glanced at Mama Lin, who was concentrating on saving flowers for her, through the mirror, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. What about historical China? All dynasties and dynasties regarded themselves as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire, but all foreigners were called 'people outside the world' and 'barbarians', and when they looked at those people, they always looked down on the earth...... But it was those barbarians and those people who turned into foreigners who launched the Opium War and began a history of humiliation for more than 100 years......

The sense of national superiority is really powerful!

Mama Lin pondered and put a few flowers on Qiu Chen's bun, and said with a smile while looking left and right: "No, it's really difficult for those foreign barbarians, who can't speak well, but their fingers can be dexterous like this...... Gee! ”

Qiu Chen raised his eyes and looked at Mama Lin and smiled, handed the flower in his hand back to Mama Lin, motioned for her to put it on for herself, and said with a smile: "This delicacy is rare, to make it like this, not only requires exquisite craftsmanship, but also time-consuming and time-consuming......

"This butterfly is very clever and looks alive. It's hard to make such a big thing! Mama Lin saw Qiu Chen showing some interest, and also smiled and praised.

In a blink of an eye, the flower in Mama Lin's hand is in the shape of a butterfly, and the main color of emerald blue on the small wings is gold and red, which is gorgeous and lifelike. On the base under the butterfly wings, there is a very delicate and delicate spring, which is made of alloy material made of other metals, with good elasticity, and a certain toughness, not easy to break, with the support of this spring, the butterfly wings of Diancui will flicker and flutter with the action, like a butterfly flapping its wings, and the next moment it seems to be about to fly, fresh and smart.

Qiu Chen had already taken out the yellow beeswax hibiscus hairpin from the makeup box and put it on the side of the bun, Mama Lin took a flower from the box and handed it to Qiu Chen: "Madam, this flower is really delicate and pleasing, smart and well-behaved, the hibiscus hairpin on your head is bright in color, if you save two such flowers, it just happens to match each other!" ”

Several big girls took the lead in laughing and making a mess, and Mama Lin scolded a few words with a cold face, and everyone reined in and quieted down.

"Ouch, I was annoyed when I said something on my mind...... Haha, Madame, save me......" Hanguang didn't let go, and continued to fight while dodging, seeing that Chengying and Steaming Snow couldn't stop Yuegui, Hanguang hurriedly dodged and hid behind Qiu Chen to seek refuge.

was hit back by Hanguang, Yuegui's face turned red, and she stepped forward in annoyance, and said hatefully: "You girl's sharp mouth, see if I won't tear you up today......"

Hanguang was stunned for a moment by Yuegui's words, and then blushed, but he was not annoyed, he only smiled and shot back: "You girl still said that I am not ashamed, I see that you are really not ashamed, I didn't think about getting married, you just thought about the children to make the trip...... Okay, okay, don't worry, if your children make it by then, I will beg Mrs. Chengying to reward you a few more, so that everyone can have a share in your sons and daughters, and save you the trouble of being a mother! ”

Without waiting for Qiu Chen to answer, Yuegui pushed Hanguang next to her, and said with a smile: "You are a girl who is not ashamed, and you don't want to think about it, if it takes ten or eight years to burn out, and you have children, where are you still wearing butterflies and bees?" When the time comes, the lady will not reward you, but directly reward your daughter! ”

Hanguang smiled and said: "Madam, if our own workshop can make such good jewelry in the future, you can be gracious and reward our sisters for wearing half of it!" Don't dare to ask for a big item, one butterfly and a bee for each of us is enough! ”

As soon as she said this, the girls and mothers-in-law all rejoiced.

Qiu Chen didn't care, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid if you don't have this craft, we can invite a few craftsmen to come, and the craft will naturally be brought over." When the time comes, we can make our own jewelry, or we can make our own clocks...... Perhaps, the ones we make ourselves are more exquisite and easy to use than the imported ones! ”

"Hehe, I just think it's a little incredible!" Being preached by Qiu Chen, Yue Gui couldn't help but laugh.

Qiu Chen glanced at her and said with a smile: "The ruler is short, and the inch is long." We are good, but foreigners also have the strengths of foreigners...... Just like Nan Chen, who came to see Nagong last year, he has the ability to grow rice with one hand, and it is said that their rice planting is the best three crops a year. There is an extra harvest in one season a year, so think about how many more rice you can beat! There are also table clocks and music boxes in our room, all of which are imported from the West, and they are all exquisite......"

"I can't imagine that the craftsmanship of those barbarians in the Western Regions is so exquisite!" Laurel muttered.

Mama Lin glanced at Qiu Chen, and carefully looked at the rest jewelry for a while, the more she looked at it, the more she believed it, and the little doubt that existed just now gradually disappeared. Before, she had a preconceived idea that it was fired in her own workshop, but now that her wife pointed out and looked again, sure enough, whether it was gold and silver crafting or glass firing, the objects burned in her own workshop before were far less exquisite than this. Of course, most of the fancy patterns are different from those of the Central Plains...... Not to let the lady point it out, she, like those girls, was so bewildered by the splendor of the jewelry that she didn't notice these details at all.

"Ah, it turned out that we didn't burn it ourselves......" The little girls sighed suddenly, and they didn't know whether to regret or what.

Her voice naturally attracted the attention of a group of people, and Qiu Chen also took the opportunity to smile naturally: "You girl has some vision, these objects are not our Ming things!" The fancy is passionflower, which came through the Western Regions...... If you look at the leaves of the trees over here, they are also the leaves of an olive tree over there, which is said to signify a peaceful truce! ”

didn't need her to guide, among the few little girls who couldn't open their eyes, Hanguang suddenly pointed to one of them and said, "Hey, this fancy is really special...... It seems to be ...... like the pattern on the table clock."

Whether it is Qiu Chen, Yun Jichen, or Liao Wenqing, even if they don't earn this money, their family wealth is enough for several generations to spend, so they are thinking more and more about doing things, and they are seeking to be safe.

Although the process is more troublesome and the profit is less, it can avoid the disaster in the greatest way!

The result of Qiu Chen's discussion with Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing was to transport these glass crafts out and let other people's fleets bring them back...... The first pot of gold is indeed handed over, but later, they can successfully divert the attention of some people by controlling the production quantity and shipping and sales, so as not to attract too much jealousy.

It is definitely not their family that runs the sea boats, but more than half of the wealthy families have their own sea ship caravans.

Unfortunately, these jewellery are not available for sale for the time being...... Her pharmaceutical workshop and corn and potatoes are already eye-catching, and it is really easy to attract hatred when she comes up with this kind of glass jewelry that is no less than grabbing money. Fortunately, a few days ago, Yun Jichen, the second son of Yun, sent a letter back, and he had already built six large sea ships in Quanzhou, plus the previous acquisition, there were almost twenty sea ships, and it was enough to form a long-distance fleet. These red gold glazed jewelry were shipped to the sea for sale.

It's just that Qiu Chen only had a gentle sigh.

She has imagined that the introduction of such gold and gold jewelry with colorful glass to the market will trigger a tsunami in the fashion and luxury industries of Daming! Countless ladies of the noble family will go crazy with these exquisite jewelry!

There are also various red gold patterns, gold threads as thin as hair, and gold beads as small as rice grains...... Seeing this, Qiu Chen knew that the gold and silver masters invited from the south had successfully studied the process of silk and corn...... On these two gold and silver processing techniques, without glaze are extremely exquisite and rare, not to mention the beauty and brilliance of colorful glaze...... If this red gold glass jewelry is introduced to the market, will it be unpopular? When pigs fly!

Hooking his lips and smiling, Qiu Chen's eyes turned back to the jewelry in the box, and swept it over one by one, and saw that the jewelry in the box could be described as varied and exquisite. Moreover, what she saw was not only the beauty and exquisiteness of the surface, but also the accurate grasp and control of the colors in the pieces of glass, the dots on the wings of the scarab that were relatively easy, the horizontal stripes on the bees that were more complex and difficult, and the colorful patterns on the butterflies that were more complex and the most difficult to ...... Among them, some insects are also equipped with gold wire springs under their wings, and when they move slightly, their wings will tremble and flutter, as if they are about to fly, and they will become more and more lively.

After suddenly coming back to his senses, Qiu Chen turned his eyes to look over again, and saw that whether it was an elderly mother-in-law or a little girl in the room, one was counted as one, and there was no one who didn't look stupid and looked straight in the eyes!

Qiu Chen has never seen anything in modern times, modern times can not only fire glass, but also can fire artificial zircon, that is, artificial diamonds, after cutting and polishing, inlaid into colorful and beautiful jewelry...... Even so, when she saw the exquisite jewelry exposed in the box at this time, she unconsciously felt dizzy for a moment!

There were two girls mediating and ordering, and in a moment, the case was brought to Qiu Chen, and several boxes were also laid out on the case, and then, Chengying and Yuegui stepped forward to open the boxes one by one, and took away the cotton in the boxes casually, and the jewelry in the boxes also showed their gorgeous and gorgeous true colors one by one!

In the blink of an eye, the boxes in the box were snatched up, and the few girls who couldn't grab them inevitably showed a look of disappointment. Chengying and Yuegui were the most calm, and they couldn't help but laugh and scold when they looked at everyone's appearance at this time: "What is there to grab, open it later, you can still delay it...... Don't be stunned, move a case! ”

"Yes!" The girls responded with infinite joy, and Mama Lin also made up for it, only helping Qiu Chen to retreat, still sitting in front of the dresser, watching a few little girls excitedly go to get the box, because there are many people and few boxes, and several girls are moving quickly enough, that posture is like grabbing.

Qiu Chen glanced at her and smiled: "Only then did you open the two boxes, what are you in a hurry, open all the boxes and take a look!" ”

Yuegui said: "These look good for the little lady, and the lady wears the fangcai's step is better!" ”

Mama Lin and Chengying, Yuegui and other girls looked at each other, and then they all came back to their senses and laughed.

Qiu Chen smiled, reached out and pinched a beetle, raised it in front of his eyes and looked at it with a smile: "This thing is good, it must look good on the heads of Man'er and Mingwei!" ”

As he spoke, Qiu Chen put the step shake in his hand back into the box, and took out another box from the box and opened it...... This time, the box is no longer filled with noble and gorgeous steps, but a fingernail-sized insect-shaped flower, with colorful butterflies, golden bees, emerald green grasshoppers, dragonflies with red heads and green tails, and even a few beetles with red wings and black spots!

Qiu Chen turned his gaze back with a smile, looked at Mama Lin, and then swept over a few girls who came back to their senses but still couldn't take their eyes off, picked the corners of his lips and smiled, retracted his gaze, looked at the glass step in his hand and smiled: "This thing is beautiful, but unfortunately not everyone can wear it!" ”

"That's a good thing!" Mama Lin retracted her mind, and finally admired it from the bottom of her heart.

After shaking his senses, and then looking at the appearance of a few little girls who were stunned and their eyes were shining, I couldn't help but sigh secretly, this kind of jewelry is too beautiful, much more beautiful than a red sapphire, jade and pearl, no wonder these little girls can't resist.

Mama Lin is the oldest, and she is also the most well-seen, and when she sees such a red gold glazed green leaf shaking, she can't help but feel dizzy for a moment, and she can't help herself.

"Ah......" A few little girls were amazed by this exquisite jewelry, and couldn't help but exclaim. There are also those who are stunned and look straight in the eyes.

What you see in this box is a red gold base burning, inlaid with emerald blue glazed leaves. Red gold for the branches, for the handle, for the veins, emerald blue glass for the leaves, a piece of leaves layer upon layer, and a piece of stretch, full of vitality, the accumulation of green, against the red gold branch petiole veins, the bright and rich red gold and the emerald blue, two strong enough full color together, but not contrary to the harmony, but constitute a full but not colorful, vibrant but not vulgar picture. Qiu Chen stretched out his hand and held the step shake in his hand, and his delicate and white fingers pinched the step shake, as if he had really picked a branch of emerald green, red and gold branches, and the emerald green leaves were more and more brilliant and vibrant than in the box.

It's just that Mama Lin was a little surprised. She guessed correctly that it was Liuli, but she didn't guess the variety of the object this time. The glass objects sent this time are not bottles, cups, and jars...... It is neither a reward nor a practical tool, but a woman's favorite jewelry!

It didn't take her long to wait, Qiu Chen had already removed some of the cotton in the box, and then, revealing the true face of the things contained in the box - emerald blue, clear and crystalline, brilliant colors, and brilliant - it was really glass!

Speaking of which, those bottles, jars, and cups made of glaze, although they are fragile and delicate, they are really clear and exquisite, and they are very good-looking! Think about it again, as the New Year approaches, Mrs. will have to worry about giving New Year's gifts everywhere, and it is also the right time to transport a batch of glass objects from Anyang to Beijing! The more Mama Lin thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was right.

Looking at this posture, Mama Lin was a little uncertain again. Gold and silver jewelry is generally not broken, and there is no need to be so careful with cotton padding...... This kind of tight and careful padding is not like jewelry, but like glass utensils packed and transported. Could it be that what new glass ware has been made in the glass workshop in Anyang?

Qiu Chen pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer Mama Lin's inquiry, only leaned over and picked up a box from the box and opened it casually...... It's a cotton ball with white flowers!

"But the second uncle bought new jewelry for his wife?"

Chengying agreed, and in a moment came in with two mothers-in-law carrying a small camphor wood box without any carvings. Mama Lin looked confused, and was pulled by Qiu Chen to the box, and after ordering someone to open the lid of the box, what was revealed inside was a neatly stacked red sandalwood hollow carved box, all of which were not big, beautifully carved, and embedded with a red copper buckle with rich flowers...... Seeing these boxes, Mama Lin's eyes lit up, and she had already guessed something in her heart.

"Mama, wait." Qiu Chen smiled, then turned to Chengying and ordered, "Where is the box sent by the second brother yesterday?" Someone brought in! ”

The technique of dotting emerald has appeared as early as the Han Dynasty, which refers to the use of kingfisher feathers glued to the base of jewelry to make emerald decorations. Because kingfishers are difficult to catch, it is not easy to make zuò, and the feathers are organic matter, not as durable as gold and silver, and the color will gradually fade after several decades, and the emerald jewelry will lose its color luster, so the emerald jewelry has been extremely valuable and rare since ancient times. Historically, in the Qing Dynasty, it was replaced by the process of burning blue, but it could only be fired on silverware, which had certain limitations.

Mama Lin picked out a few fingernail-sized red gold dotted cuihuadian from the makeup box, and said: "Madam, this set of cuihuadian hasn't been worn once since it came back, look at how good this emerald glass burns, a little bit of size, delicate and good-looking, do you want to save it and try it?" ”

I went back to the room to freshen up, and changed into a straight long gown embroidered with blue and silver thread embroidered magpie Dengmei, and an ivory thread-lined pleated silk skirt.

Some little girls rushed to Wisteria Xuan to inform Yixuan's mother and daughter that today, the Junyan brothers and the Tang brothers plus Yang Shumeng are all foreign men to Yixuan's mother and daughter, these people are going to the back garden to do activities, talk to Yixuan's mother and daughter, and let them avoid it, so as not to accidentally collide between the two parties.

Qiu Chen went out with his second brother, Yang Shumeng left Mu'en Courtyard and went to the back garden, and Qiu Chen went back to the backyard to change into the clothes of the guests. It's just that the two princes have passed the house, and the Tang brothers have passed the house, so she naturally wants to meet.
