Coming out of the Lu Mansion, Qianning took a detour and went to a Ninglou.

Mingzhe delayed in Jingdezhen for a long time, and finally returned to the capital after the Lantern Festival. I had already sent a letter to Qianning to come here, but unfortunately there has always been something wrong, so I can come over now.

I haven't seen him for a few months, but Mingzhe is a little more mature, his originally white and spotless face has a little vicissitudes, and his body is much stronger than the original, and he looks a little more handsome than before.

Qian Ning looked at Mingzhe intently, but looked embarrassed at him: "What are you doing?" It's not like you haven't seen me. ”

Qian Ning chuckled: "You are more handsome than before, how is it, Jingdezhen is so good, you are not want to return?" Or is there a girl there who is holding you back? ”

Mingzhe sneered: "Your girl's family thinks about these things all day long, but I go to learn art, not to play." ”

"Oh......" Qian Ning lengthened her voice, "You have changed your temperament when you go to a long distance, I remember that you used to pity the jade." ”

Mingzhe rolled his eyes, looking helpless, "It's too late to learn art, where is that leisure, besides, those guards got your order and looked at me all day long, and then they left, Brother Zhong Yi sent someone over again, where is the leisure." ”

Zhong is also Qianning's maternal cousin, and he sent people to it, which shows that the Zhang family knows about Mingzhe's trip to Jingdezhen.

"How did Cousin Zhong Yi know that you went to Jingdezhen?" Qian Ning asked, she didn't notify the Zhang family.

Mingzhe shrugged, "How do I know." I thought you didn't worry about me, so you called the Zhang family over again. ”

It's strange, it's not my own letter. Who could that be?

Qian Ning smiled, "We won't be stared at, right?" ”

"How is that possible?" Mingzhe looked at Qianning with disdain, "It's a shame that you are usually shrewd, this is stupid, if someone really targets me, where will they call the Zhang family to send someone to do things while I am alone?" ”

Qianning is also concerned about chaos. Hearing this, he was also relieved.

"Now, this one for you, I made it myself." Mingzhe handed over a box.

Qian Ning opened it and took a look. It turned out to be a vase with the appearance of a girl, the bottle body is a girl's graceful figure, the bottle mouth is a towering bun, and the girl's face is carved with colored materials. It's exquisite. Qian Ning couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect that in just a few months, your craftsmanship will be so sophisticated, and in the future, you can even sell porcelain in Yininglou." ”

Mingzhe put on a unbearable look: "You really smell of copper at home, why do you want to sell everything, do we lack so much money in a Ninglou?" Besides, you are from a scholarly family, are you worthy of your surname in the eyes of money so much? ”

Qian Ning carefully put the vase into the box, and her face showed disapproval: "It's not that you don't know my situation at home. Why bother me? Besides, what's so bad about money. Money can make the devil grind. My goal is the same as that of the master, which is to be the best jewelry building in the world. ”

"Okay, the future manager of the first building, may I ask, how are the accessories we are preparing to run for?"

It's okay not to mention this, as soon as she mentioned it, Qian Ning stared at Mingzhe with wide eyes, her eyes were full of resentment: "You are embarrassed to ask, your old man left these things and ran to Jingdezhen, I have to deal with the affairs of the Hou Mansion, and I have to take care of the daily affairs of Yininglou, and I have to secretly do jewelry design, do you think I am a doppelganger?" ”

Mingzhe narrowed his eyes, "You mean, it's not done yet?" ”

"Then you also underestimate me," Qian Ning took out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve, "I am telling you this to tell you my difficulty, but it does not mean that I have not done anything." ”

Mingzhe pursed his lips and took a few pieces of manuscript paper, "I know that you work hard, and I will give you more dividends when I go back." ”

Qian Ning couldn't help but beat him violently: "Have you taken care of the dividend business?" I'm sorry to interject! Take a quick look at the design. ”

Mingzhe was choked like this, but he quieted down and looked at the design drawings, and nodded while reading: "Although Sister Qing doesn't do design, her skills are still undiminished, I see that these designs are very good, as long as you adjust them slightly, you can send them for selection." ”

"Really?" Qianning was a little suspicious, she hadn't done the design for too long, and she really didn't have much time, these drawings were all made in a hurry, and it was no problem to make them and sell them, but if they were sent to the palace to participate in the election, they didn't have a score, "You have to look carefully, in case this election is smashed, even the signboard we have set up with great difficulty will not be saved." ”

"I know how powerful this is, besides, I control the design of the ornaments in Yininglou, don't you still worry about my vision?"

It is true that every time Mingzhe selects out the ornaments are easy to sell, but the vision of the nobles in the palace may not be the same as that of the lady of the capital, and when the time comes, the old jewelry stores in Jinfeng Lou will inevitably do their best, and they have a previous trading relationship with the palace, and there are many contacts, if they can't be unique, why should the nobles choose a completely strange and just rising building?

Qian Ning knew that Master took this election very seriously, and had to pay attention to it with a spirit of twelve points.

"Childe, girl, Second Prince Song is here." Zhang De said softly outside the door.

Why did he come over too?

Mingzhe saw Qianning's doubts: "I asked him to come over, but he also sent someone to escort me all the way, so I have to show it a little bit." It was inconvenient to visit, so I had to call him over. ”

I didn't expect to go out for a trip, Mingzhe has become familiar with human affairs, and it seems that it is necessary to let him go out more in the future.

Qian Ning was very pleased: "You are very thoughtful, you really have to thank you." ”

Zhang De got his approval, so he took Song Yi to the third floor.

Although he has established a cooperative relationship with Yininglou, Song Yi is the first time to this important and mysterious floor. The eyes are full of transparency, the large stove in the middle, and the simple tables and chairs are not the same as imagined.

"Second son Song, don't come unharmed." Qianning and Mingzhe have already stood up to greet each other.

Song Yi hugged his fists and walked over: "Master Ming, look up for a long time." ”

Song Yi and Mingzhe met for the first time, and the two couldn't help but look at each other, and they both had an impression of each other in their hearts.

Qian Ning pulled the two of them to sit down, and personally went to tea: "The second son is a noble man in our first building, who not only helped take care of Mingzhe, but also pointed out the jade mine for mining, I also wanted to find an opportunity to thank the second son for a long time, but I didn't expect Mingzhe to be one step faster than me." ”

"The young girl is serious, we are a cooperative relationship, a Ninglou is good, and I am good. These are all things that are within the bounds, and you don't have to be polite. With Mingzhe present, Song Yi also looked a lot more serious, and his consistent hanging erlang was a lot more restrained, and he was also straightforward when he spoke.

Qian Ning was secretly funny, what a hypocrisy.

Mingzhe took out another box the same size as the one he gave to Qianning before: "Although I said so, but the second son's subordinates took care of him very well along the way, and he was grateful to him, and he didn't have any special gifts, this was personally fired in Xia, and I hope the second son will not dislike it." ”

The box is also filled with a vase, just an ordinary pattern of rich flowers and birds, the color is also very bright, and the painting is also exquisite, which is a little less unique than Qianning's gift, but overall it is also superior.

Song Yi generously took the box: "Ming Gongzi's craftsmanship resounded throughout the capital, if this vase is spread, I don't know how many people will rush to it." Song thanked him. ”

Once you've said the polite words, it's time to get down to business.

Qian Ning took out a few design drawings: "You often go in and out of the palace, look at these designs are in line with the wishes of the nobles?" ”

Song Yi didn't shirk it, and took it over and looked at it carefully: "It's decent, and the novelty is insufficient." ”

To be honest, Qian Ning really didn't have much inspiration when she made these designs, but Song Yi's comment hit the nail on the head: "Then how do you think it should be improved?" ”

Qian Ning had sincerity in her eyes, she really needed to inject some fresh ideas, maybe Song Yi as a layman could do this.

"To be honest, I don't have much research on the things used by women, but every time I see the ornaments they use, they are all the same, and they are full of pearls, and they are so shaky that people can't stand it, and I really don't think it's good-looking. Your designs, it does look exquisite, but at first glance, it is no different from other ornaments, just imagine, a woman wearing a headdress to that station, you will only feel a head of jewels, and who will carefully distinguish which is good and which is not? ”

Qian Ning seemed to get to the point: "You mean that we should completely change the form of the ornament, rather than just making changes in small places?" (To be continued.) )
