Chapter 129: The Jade Yuan Zhai Selection Ceremony
When Sister Hui heard this, she immediately turned her head, and unconsciously smiled on her face: "Brother Guyuan, what a coincidence." ”
"Shopkeeper, this is my sister, so let's arrange to be with us, Yin Yan is not an outsider." Zhang Guyuan smiled at the boss.
"Fourth sister, this is the son of the Hou family in Dingbei, can we join him?" Sister Hui also turned her head and asked Sister Jing.
Sister Jing knew that Sister Hui had a marriage contract with that son, so she had the intention of "adult beauty", and nodded: "Yes, I'm fine." ”
"Those two young ladies are here, please." The boss turned sideways and led the two to the private room at the corner of the stairs.
In the private room, there are several pieces of jade carvings on the wooden table of the water willow, all of which are exquisite. In front of the wooden table, there was a man in a yellow shirt explaining, but behind the wooden table, there was a person sitting with a cold face, it was Xia Nanjing in Zhang Guyuan's mouth.
"Yin Yan, I just ran into these two sisters of the Chu family outside, I invited them to join us, okay?" Zhang Guyuan said so, but he had already pulled up a chair and let the two of them sit down.
"Well, sit down." Xia Nanjing nodded and gestured to Sister Hui and Sister Jing.
The two got up and returned the salute, and then sat down.
"Okay, there are no outsiders here, everyone is out to hang out, don't have so much courtesy." Zhang Guyuan's voice just fell.
Here, Xia Nanjing asked lightly: "What are you doing here?" ”
Sister Hui paused for a moment before she realized that she was about to ask her, and she paused for a moment before answering: "The county lord of Cangwu once had some friendship with our sisters, and she will get married in a few days, and we are ready to come out and choose some suitable gifts for her." ”
Xia Nanjing nodded, and instead picked up a jade cabbage ornament and took a closer look.
For some reason, Sister Hui always felt that the atmosphere in the house was a little weird, and after thinking about it, the gift was still exchanged, so she asked again: "Then why is Brother Xia and Brother Guyuan here?" ”
"Just like you." Xia Nanjing was still staring at the ornament, did not look at her, and said lightly.
This is said without a beginning or an end, but Sister Hui understands it, I am afraid that it is also a congratulatory gift for the wedding of the third prince, and next month it will be a big gift for marrying the concubine.
Zhang Guyuan was afraid that Xia Nanjing's cold face would frighten his sister Hui, and explained softly: "Today I also came to buy a congratulatory gift for the wedding of the third prince, but I happened to meet Yin Yan, and when I asked him, it was also for a reason, so we sat down and chose together." ”
"I see." Sister Hui nodded, suddenly realized.
Zhang Guyuan looked at her with wide eyes and cute appearance, and the gentle smile on her face became softer and softer, making Sister Jing, a bystander, feel as if she had seen the spring of March, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile.
"Since we are all gifts to the same family, the shopkeeper, why don't you bring some good things. Well, add some things that women use. Sister Jing said to the boss who bowed silently.
The boss smiled and squinted, his small eyes were full of gold, and he shook half of his fat and beckoned the two guys to come and get the goods together.
A few people picked and chose and gossiped innocentiously.
However, most of this gossip was also said by Zhang Guyuan and Sister Jing, because Xia Nanjing looked at the jade cabbage with a cold face from beginning to end, and occasionally looked up at the guy who had been explaining, and kept wiping sweat from that guy. Sister Hui is not like Zhang Guyuan and Sister Jing who grew up in Beijing, and they all know the situation in Beijing; Second, I always feel a little uncomfortable for some reason, so I don't like to speak. Only Zhang Guyuan answered a sentence or two when he asked, and a pair of eyes were wandering around in the pile of jewelry.
"Wrap up all of these and send them to Prince Ke's mansion." Xia Nanjing pointed to several carvings in front of him that were of the highest quality craftsmanship and materials.
The guy immediately responded with a smile on his face, turned around and went out to pack.
"You've all chosen?" Xia Nanjing asked
"That's all I want." Zhang Guyuan also pointed to a few eye-catching ones, but there are jade carvings, good ancient inkstones, and a rare jade seven-tailed piano.
"Our future princess Jing is also good at music, and I heard that she is especially good at this seven-tailed Jiaoqin, and this gift of the prince can win the joy of the future princess Jing." Sister Jing couldn't help but smile when she saw this.
Zhang Guyuan smiled at Sister Jing'er, noncommittal.
"Do you like this jade butterfly hairpin?" Xia Nanjing pointed to a jade hairpin that Sister Hui had been holding in her hand and had not put it down for a long time.
The jade hairpin is indeed a top grade, not to mention that the jade is the top ice and snow jade in Kunshan, crystal clear and does not contain half a trace of impurities, the carving is also excellent, it is a pair of butterflies ready to fly, vivid and lively, but look at it carefully and feel that the pair of butterflies are looking at each other affectionately.
"This hairpin is indeed a top grade, if my sister likes it, why not put it on a package and count it on my account."
When the guy heard what Zhang Guyuan said, he was about to hook up the pen, but he was stopped by Sister Hui'er: "It's really good, but today I came to choose for the county lord, and I think it's better to use this wishful hairpin." ”
Sister Hui took another jade one. It is a jade ice species, and it is also a good material, the hairpin handle is engraved with the word Ruyi, the hairpin head is a pomegranate flower carved vividly, and a few delicate pomegranates are pendant to make tassels.
"Miss has a good eye, this wishful hairpin symbolizes the meaning of the past wishes, many children and many blessings, and it is best to give it to a newlywed woman." The guy hurried again.
"Well, that's it." Sister Hui nodded and motioned for him to write it down.
Sister Jing here saw that everyone had chosen it, and it didn't seem that anyone liked it very much, so she shook her head: "The good things have been selected by you, since they are all out, let's go to other stores." ”
"It's okay, there are some good antiques in the alley ahead, since the two sisters are still going to shop, it would be safer if I accompanied you." Zhang Guyuan got up and said.
"Okay, I'm tired of Brother Guyuan." Sister Hui also got up and nodded.
"Yin Yan, do you want to join us?" Zhang Guyuan looked at Xia Nanjing and asked.
"No, I'm going to go to King Jing's Mansion in a while, you guys go." Xia Nanjing clasped his fists at the three of them and saluted.
The three of them also returned the salute.
Out of the gate of Yuyuanzhai, Sister Hui and Sister Jing were accompanied by Zhang Guyuan, and the three of them visited the entire East Market.
Sister Jing bought a set of Ruyao ladies bottles, plus two pieces of century-old ink for Tongyu. I also found some other gadgets for Sister Yan to take back for recreation. The two of them also had their own gains, and Zhang Guyuan sent the two to the gate before returning.
After Sister Hui and Sister Jing went back, they first met Qiao's to report, and then went to Shoukang Hall to greet the old lady.
In the past few days, the house has been very peaceful, and the old lady's illness has improved somewhat. Today's weather is also good, the old lady is sitting in the hall at this time, lighting the peony incense that she usually likes, but she looks much more energetic.
"You've been shopping for a long time, I'm afraid you're tired, go back and rest early." The old lady was obviously in a good mood today, so she didn't say much, and let the two go back to their respective courtyards.
Sister Hui returned to the leisurely house, and Qiu Ju came up with a cup of warm jasmine tea early: "The slave maid added some honey inside, and the young lady drank it to relieve her fatigue." ”
"How's that going with you and the ink painting?"
