Chapter 211: Old Madam Zhao
The jewelry made according to the pattern drawn by Huiya is very exquisite, and even Zheng's jewelry shop, which has been open for many years, feels that he can't put it down.
No, after the first set of little fox's gold jewelry was created, Zheng and Huiya carefully selected, and successively sent eight jewelry drawings to the shop, and a month later, the finished product was delivered to Zhao's mansion.
"Ya'er, I really didn't expect you to have such a talent, with your jewelry picture, I believe that the business in the shop will soon be better." Zheng looked at the beautiful jewelry in the box, his eyes were full of joy, if the first set of little fox jewelry was a coincidence, now the other eight sets of jewelry are also beautiful and people can't put it down, it is definitely Huiya's strength.
"Mother, should we put these jewelry in the shop and sell them, or?" Hui Ya looked at the jewelry on the table, in addition to her own set of little fox's gold head noodles, there were eight sets of head noodles on the table.
These eight sets of heads have lively and cute animal patterns suitable for children to wear, as well as gentle and graceful patterns suitable for young ladies to wear, and there is also a set, Huiya design is for older ladies to wear, dignified atmosphere is very gorgeous.
"These, I'm looking at them, why don't you give them a set to each room." Zheng hesitated, but still spoke.
"One set for each room?" Hui Ya's eyes immediately widened, and she looked at her mother in disbelief. "Mother, this is the pattern I worked so hard to draw, and then the master in the shop finally created it, and I haven't taken it out to sell it yet, why do I have to give it to each room!" Huiya was a little unhappy in her heart, and muttered a lot. Hui Ya's attitude is obvious, it's okay to give it to her grandmother and third aunt, and it's reluctant to give Hui Yun a set, but she doesn't want to give the things she worked so hard to make to her eldest aunt and Hui Feng and Fang Shaxiang.
"Silly boy, it's all a family, what do you care about?" Zheng looked at Hui Ya's stingy appearance. smiled and hugged her into her arms, "Mother knows that you don't like your aunt, and you can't get along with Saxiang, but we are always a family." Since it's a family, you can't favor one over the other, you know? ”
"Mother's ......" Huiya still felt a little aggrieved, pulling her mother's sleeve and not letting go, her mouth was tightly pursed.
Jewelry on this table. Although the total cost is about 100 taels, no matter which set is sold in the shop, it can be sold for more than 200 taels, and it is given away for nothing, and a few sets are given to people who don't like it, which is really unpleasant.
"Silly boy, there is a gift to gain, this mother taught you today, you should watch it slowly." Zheng smiled and comforted Hui Ya, looking at her not yet in high spirits. He said that he would cook for Huiya by himself.
"Really? My mother made me food? Hui Ya's impression is that she has not eaten anything made by her mother for many years, her mother died early in her previous life, she had no chance to eat, and her childhood memories have long been worn away.
"Okay, okay, you're such a kid!" Zheng looked at Hui Ya's excited appearance. I was also happy, changed my clothes, and went to the kitchen to cook for Huiya.
Zheng's cooking is not a laborious thing, a simple stewed pork ribs with lotus root. Let Huiya's lunch be very delicious, and there is no complaint in my heart.
The next day was the day of the head of the mansion to ask for peace, and the Zheng family explained Huiya, so he asked people to hold a total of eight sets of jewelry boxes and go to Mrs. Zhao's courtyard.
Because they wanted to say goodbye, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao San also got up early. took their children to Mrs. Zhao's courtyard, each saluted and said goodbye, and waited for Mrs. Zhao to have breakfast.
Mrs. Zhao is a serious old lady, now she is only in her fifties, her hair is slightly gray, but she is meticulously tied into a bun, and she looks quite majestic when she is not smiling. On weekdays, although Mrs. Zhao also cherishes her son and grandson, she does not spoil her children and grandchildren like the old Fengjun of others, so the children and grandchildren of the Zhao family are not too close to her.
Huiya didn't have a deep impression of this grandmother, and felt that her grandmother was too serious, very serious. Rao has the experience of two lives, and Huiya doesn't dare to slip in front of her grandmother like Huifeng, she just does what her granddaughter should do, no more, no less, after all, she didn't grow up in front of her grandmother, and she is also unfamiliar.
According to the usual practice, Mrs. Zhao would take Huifeng to say some witty things to Mrs. Zhao, which would take a while, and when it was almost over, they would disperse. But today, everyone saw the brocade box held in Zheng's Yahuan's arms, and they guessed what was going on, but it was a little colder than usual.
"Mother, there are some new tricks in the jewelry shop where I got married, I look at the things are quite exquisite, so I will take back a few sets, one is to honor my mother, and then I will give it to my sister-in-law and younger siblings to see a fresh." As Zheng spoke, he asked Yahuan to put the jewelry boxes on the table, and opened each jewelry box with his own hands, and the room was suddenly full of light.
"Oh? And our share? When Mrs. Zhao heard that she still had her own share, her eyes lit up.
Mrs. Zhao's housekeeper has been in charge for so many years, although she has not made a lot of money from the public, but most of the silver is used to supplement her mother's family, and the silver in her hands is pitiful. Not to mention buying new jewelry, even to save the dowry for Hui Feng, they are a little stretched, so they are very happy to hear that they also have jewelry.
"Ahem......" Before Mrs. Zhao could speak, Mrs. Zhao had already rushed to the table, Mrs. Zhao coughed, and Mrs. Zhao's hand that had just stretched out retracted, rubbed to Mrs. Zhao, and held her hand to the table.
"Sister-in-law's own business, it is only serious to earn more silver to make a dowry for Ya'er, where to give us so much, this table full of jewelry, it will be almost two thousand taels of silver!" Mrs. Zhao San, because her father-in-law is good with her second brother, is closer to the Zheng family on weekdays, looking at these jewelry on the table, if you buy it from outside, you will definitely not be able to get it without 1,500 taels of silver, and said to the Zheng family in a low voice.
"Why do you want so much silver, but you have a new trick, and you are just thinking about the people in the family, come, pick and choose!" Zheng listened to Mrs. Zhao San's whispered words, and felt that her heart was very ironing, they were all a family, and when they were good to others with their own hearts and lungs, they naturally hoped to get the same sincerity.
Mrs. Zhao took the lead, and the ladies of the family gathered around the round table, and you selected the beautiful jewelry newly made by the gold and silver shop. (To be continued.) )
