Chapter 63: Jewelry

Yun Yao first made a few silver hairpins and gold hairpins with a more ordinary style, using only gold and silver, and there were no gems and pearls on them.

However, because it is made of tired silk, and it is full of real money, it looks good, especially a tired silk golden phoenix, which looks very magnificent, and it can also add prestige to people when worn.

After doing these things, Yun Yao calculated the silver taels and gold in her hand, which Qi Gu specially found for her, that is, to ask Yun Yao to help go to the silver building to make jewelry, Yun Yao used two small pieces of gold, and a few pieces of silver, and now there are still some left, she thinks that she can't just use gold and silver, why do you have to add some gems and something.

So, Yun Yao thought about going to the silver building to buy some.

She thought that it would cost more to buy the gold and silver in her hand, and the value of the same weight of tired silk was more than ten times that of ordinary gold and silver, anyway, it didn't take much effort for her to make these tired silk, it was better to make them all tired silk, and then replace the tired silk with gold, silver, jewelry and other things, this is the real wealth to make money, in this way, you can buy more than ten times more jewelry for Qi Jinzhi, even if you don't need so much jewelry, but the remaining gold and silver can be exchanged for other objects for Qi Jinzhi to add in the dowry.

After planning it, Yun Yao made all the remaining gold and silver into tired silk.

After that, Yun Yao waited for Qi Jing to go home.

Until almost in the evening, Qi Jing came back, and after the two of them had dinner, Yun Yao asked Qi Jing to wait for a while, and she went to the wing room to take out the results of the day's work.

Qi Jing was still thinking about what Yun Yao was going to say to him, but after waiting for a while, the door opened, and Yun Yao came over with something.

Qi Jing didn't pay much attention to it, and when Yun Yao put the things in his arms on the table, Qi Jing's surprised eyes straightened.

"What is this?"

Yun Yao smiled: "Although it's dark, but there is a light in the house, Xianggong can't see it, this is tired, what else can it be?" ”

"I know it's Rays." Qi Jing was still in shock: "Where did you get it?" ”

Yun Yao pointed to her nose: "Of course I did it, I made all the gold and silver my mother gave me into silk." I want to change something more to add makeup to my eldest sister. ”

She pointed to the pile of thin gold wires: "Xianggong will take this tired gold to the silver building tomorrow to exchange for some gems, pearls, jade, etc., and the rest will be exchanged for gold." ”

Seeing that Qi Jing didn't speak, Yun Yao said to herself: "I plan to make the remaining silver wires into tired silver boxes, bottles, etc., and then get some bracelets, hairpin rings and the like." Keep it for the eldest sister to use or exchange for some things in the future. ”

Qi Jing saw that Yun Yao had already made plans, and he also began to think about it carefully.

After a long time, Qi Jing put away the tired money: "I'll go to Zhenting Mansion tomorrow, you got a lot of tired money, and the town alone can't bear it." It's better to go to Fucheng to exchange it, otherwise I'm afraid I'll suffer a big loss. ”

Yun Yao didn't understand these very well, but since Qi Jing said so, it must be right, and she nodded: "Xianggong is in charge." ”

Qi Jing smiled, and discussed with Yun Yao what kind of dowry to buy for Qi Jinzhi, and after talking for a while, the two of them talked about Qi Jing's trivial matters in the academy before sleeping.

Another day later, Qi Jing really went to Fucheng, and Yun Yao was also bored. made the wedding dress for Qi Jinzhi, and made a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren's accounts, as well as pillows for mandarin ducks playing in the water, etc., after it was done, Qi Jing had not come back yet, and Yun Yao made a lot of clothes.

When Yun Yao had almost finished the fabric he bought, Qi Jing hurriedly returned.

As soon as he entered the door, Yun Yao looked at him and was definitely very happy, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

"What's going on?" Yun Yao smiled and quipped: "Look, it's like eating a happy peach." ”

Qi Jing grabbed Yun Yao, his palm was hot. His palms were full of sweat, he pulled Yun Yao into the room, closed the door again, and then took out a large bag of things from his arms.

Yun Yao looked at the big bag on the table. Stretch out your hand to untie it and look at it, although this look is not too surprising, but it is also a little puzzled.

"I've calculated everything, although those tired money are valuable, they won't be exchanged for so much...... Too much, right? Yun Yao asked Qi Jing suspiciously.

Uncle Qi Jing sat down like an uncle: "I walked this way." I'm thirsty, so I'm getting tea. ”

Yun Yao glanced at him, turned around and went out, and after a while, he came over with tea, Qi Jing took it and drank it all, taking a breath of ease, and then told Yun Yao about the things along the way.

Qi Jing took a box of gold to Zhenting Mansion, he originally wanted to find the largest silver building in exchange for what he needed, but before he entered the mansion city, he ran into the steward of a large family who stole the master's jewels in exchange for property.

This steward is not another family, but the main family is the Zhenting Mansion, but many children and grandchildren have gone out to be the stewards of the royal family of maritime merchants.

There are not many other things in the Wang family, but the jewelry is piled up and reclaimed, and the steward stealing out so much is not a matter at all, and the master family is afraid that he will not be able to see it.

The housekeeper of the Wang family has been in the Wang family for a long time, and he feels that the jewelry is worthless, and he has no place to digest the jewelry, so he ran out to find a foreigner to exchange gold and silver, and happened to meet Qi Jing.

The steward looked at Qi Jing's honesty, and felt that he was an honest man, so he wanted to exchange the jewelry for Qi Jing, Qi Jing also looked at the fineness of the jewelry, it was really good, and the price was discussed at the moment, and Qi Jing took the gold in his hand and some silver tickets and the steward's exchange.

When Qi Jing found the largest silver building, Antai Building, it was also a coincidence, the daughter of the Tongzhi family of Zhenting Mansion was going to get married, and the Tongzhi family was also busy making jewelry for his girl.

But this time it's really so coincidental, the most exquisite craftsman who makes jewelry in Antai Building is in a hurry, and Antai Lou has received a lot of orders these days, and many of them are going to make tired silk Jinfeng, for a while, the Antai Building is not enough, and the owner is in a hurry to buy it at a high price.

Qi Jing was just in time for this juncture, and the remaining gold and silver exchanged for gold were better than usual.

After changing things, Qi Jing rushed back with jewelry, gold and silver, and met a down-and-out scholar on the way who couldn't live his birthday, and he wanted to die with the rare books and ancient books he had at home, but it happened that Qi Jing fell in love with other people's books, and bought them directly with silver.

This time Qi Jing was really full of harvest, he was also happy in his heart, plus he had been thinking about Yun Yao for a few days, he rushed home all the way, and when he returned home, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this trip was really worth it, and he was also a little proud, and he couldn't help but reveal it in front of Yun Yao.

Yun Yao couldn't help laughing when she heard Qi Jing finish speaking: "How did you encounter this clever thing in the world." I've never seen anything like this. ”

Qi Jing is usual, he is a very dull person, and most of the time he doesn't talk much.

But now is the time to be proud, and it is inevitable that there will be more words. It is also a little smoother than usual.

He hugged Yun Yao and grabbed her thin waist: "Why can't a lady touch a good thing, marrying me, isn't it the biggest good thing a lady has ever encountered." ”

Qi Jing's words are mostly joking, and they are just saying it to increase some small fun between husband and wife.

But. Yun Yao just admitted it, and she nodded solemnly: "Yes, I don't know what kind of good luck I took to marry Xianggong." ”

Qi Jing touched his nose and didn't know how to answer at all.

After being silent for a while, Yun Yao happily collected all those jewels, gold and silver, and as for those few broken books, leave them to Qi Jing to be happy.

In the next few days, Yun Yao made a few pieces of jewelry inlaid with gold and treasures, and made a few more pearl heads, which were kept for Qi Jinzhi as a dowry.

She saw that there was a lot of gold left. She simply got two kinds of gold jewelry for each of the female compatriots of the Qi family, but she didn't like those jeweled things, so she got some thin silk light yarn, and tied flowers to wear it herself, which was more interesting and elegant than expensive gold jewelry.

Yun Yao is busy, Qi Jing is also busy, in addition to going to the academy to study, he also has to spare some time every day to comprador items.

Qijiazhuang over there. Someone will come to talk every seven or eight days, and Yun Yao is also paying attention to it, knowing that the family and the Zhou family have finished the ceremony, and they have also set a wedding date. It was May 18 after the Dragon Boat Festival, speaking of which, this day was really urgent, but who called Qi Jinzhi is too old to wait.

and the situation of the two elders on the Zhou family's side is not very good, and Zhou Hongwen is really afraid that his father and mother will not see him marrying a daughter-in-law, so he kicked his legs. This is also anxious.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the clothes are getting thinner and thinner, and in a blink of an eye, it is the Dragon Boat Festival, and Yun Yao and Qi Jing naturally want to go back to the village.

On the first day, the two of them packed up the dowry prepared for Qi Jinzhi, brought some clothes, and Qi Jing drove the ox cart to take Yun Yao back to Qijiazhuang.

When the two of them went back, Qi Gu was taking the Qi Jinzhi sisters to wrap brown seeds in the yard.

Yun Yao was immediately happy when she saw it, and she rolled up her sleeves and was about to go over to help.

The Qi family had already seen Yun Yao's cooking skills, where did they dare to ask her to touch it, Qi Baobox hurriedly grabbed Yun Yao and asked with a smile: "Why did you come back?" The eldest sister's dowry is ready? My mother just said that if the fourth sister-in-law can't get it right, she won't let you in. ”

Yun Yao straightened her chest and said proudly: "It's done, it's done." ”

Qi Baobox smiled and pulled Qi Jinzhi over: "Eldest sister, let's see what kind of dowry the fourth sister-in-law has given you, if you are satisfied, reward her with a big dumpling to eat, if she is not satisfied, quickly beat her out." ”

Qi Jinzhi was also happy when he heard it, and gave Yun Yao a look: "Brother and sister, have you heard it, hurry up and take us to take a look." ”

As soon as Yun Yao heard this, she immediately asked Qi Jing to quickly move the things down, and when the things were unloaded from the car, Yun Yao showed them to Qi Jinzhi in the same way.

The first thing to show was the jewelry that Yun Yao had put a lot of effort to make.

She took out a burnt blue silver peony flower and gave it to Qi Jinzhi to see: "Look, it's good-looking, this peony flower is all made of tired silver, especially burnt blue, it takes a lot of effort." ”

Without waiting for Qi Jinzhi to understand, Yun Yao hurriedly packed the box and took out a tired silk golden phoenix: "Eldest sister, look at it, the gem in this golden phoenix's mouth is an authentic cat's eye, and the eyes are inlaid with black diamonds, and the wings are inlaid with rubies. ”

The silver peony didn't attract much attention before, but as soon as the golden phoenix with gold and treasure inlaid with emerald made a move, it could be regarded as suppressing the Qi family.

Qi Gu stepped forward, his eyes widened in shock: "Good guy, how did you buy such valuable jewelry, this one alone costs a lot of money, where is the money to buy anything else?" ”

"How much does it cost?" Qi Tongsuo calculated first: "How much prey do I have to fight in exchange?" ”

Yinzhu's eyes rolled: "Get a few hundred taels of silver, where did you get so much money, third sister?" ”

Yun Yao was very proud, and opened the big box under her feet in a few steps, and when the sun shone, the boxes full of gold, silver, pearls and jade jewelry shone with all kinds of light, almost blinding people's eyes: "Look, my mother gave me the money, and I bought these jewelry."
