Chapter 115: Amber
Chen Wenhui's birthday is coming in a blink of an eye. Chen Wenhui wrote the posts of the nobles who dated on weekdays in advance, and they all made an appointment, and came to Chen's house in the morning to celebrate Chen Wenhui's eleventh birthday. The Chen family's house has been resting for half a year, and it is already beautiful and exquisite. I would like to take this opportunity to invite everyone to play in the garden.
Chen Wenhui dressed up well early in the morning, when Bai came to see, he saw Chen Wenhui wearing a crepe dress designed by himself, the skirt was decorated with small pearls, very rich, the most rare thing is that the color of the yarn, like fog, and like smoke, is wonderful, Bai asked: "Why haven't I seen this yarn, it's so beautiful." β
Chen Wenhui said proudly: "This is a new yarn made by the cooperation of the Lan family and the black family, and this color is also made of a kind of shellfish in the sea produced in the South Sea, and it is dyed, isn't it very beautiful?" β
Bai Shi looked at it and smiled: "This purple is really good-looking, lose this yarn, it's like smoke, purple smoke, it's very good-looking." β
Chen Wenhui said: "Mother, the money we spent on holding a banquet today, this yarn can be earned back for us, I named this dress Purple Dream, this yarn, it is called Dream Yarn." β
Bai Shi said slowly: "Well, Dream Yarn, this name is too wonderful. It's just that, Hui'er, our family is not short of money, why are you still thinking about making money every day? β
Chen Wenhui said: "No matter how small the mosquito's legs are, they are also meat, how can they dislike having too much money? β
Bai smiled. On this day, Chen Wenhui's clothes really caused a sensation, and the visiting ladies were stunned by this new type of fabric. After this banquet, sure enough, the dream yarn in the black shop pΓΉ was sold out.
On this day, Chen Wenhui was very tired, and accompanied these nobles to eat, drink and have fun. It's really tiring, but it's also rewarding, originally the nobles in the capital looked down on the Xiao Chen family in their hearts. After all, this is a concubine's family. It's just some money, and the nobility hates the nouveau riche the most. However, on this day, they opened their eyes. First of all, Chen Wenhui's shocking dream clothes really make these little girls envious, jealous and hateful. Then, Chen Wenhui took them to play in the garden of their own home, Xiao Chen's house was beautiful, and the exquisite and wonderful garden stunned these nobles. Chen Wenhui is very proud, this garden is envied by the emperor. Originally, Chen Yuanheng and the Bai family were very appreciative people, and the things they designed were very aristocratic, plus the black family master designed them, adding some elements of the black family, which was not available in the capital. Chen Wenhui also proposed some Suzhou gardens that he had seen in his previous life, as well as the construction methods of Western gardens, and as a result, such a beautiful courtyard was built, especially the fountain in the courtyard, which is a cross-era product. It opened the eyes of those noble girls.
The impact of Xiao Chen's family on everyone reached its peak when it was time to eat at noon. Most of these nobles have eaten in Qinghe Building. I knew that Xiao Chen's family would definitely have delicious hospitality, but I didn't think that Xiao Chen's food was not only delicious, but also many times more delicious than Qinghelou.
After lunch, the ladies returned to their homes satisfied. Then the reputation of the Xiao Chen family also spread, and this new family was not a nouveau riche, on the contrary. It's so rich here, and for a long time after that. Everyone was talking about the Xiao Chen family, and the reputation of the Xiao Chen family was once again raised.
Chen Wenhui didn't think about it so much. She was still thinking that this time, this dream yarn would definitely make her a lot of money. Speaking of which, it is also because the ancients did not know much about advertising, so Chen Wenhui's publicity suddenly had a surprisingly good effect.
In the evening, Chen Wenhui, who had rested, came to Qinghe Building in a car. Got together with her friends.
Mingzhu did not participate in Chen Wenhui's banquet in the morning, because most of the banquets were banquets for girls who did not leave the pavilion, so Mingzhu did not participate. At this time, as soon as Wen Hui came in, Mingzhu exclaimed: "Oh, this dress is so good-looking, it's so beautiful, I like it so much, what kind of fabric is this?" This color is amazing, it's like a dream. β
Chen Wenhui said proudly: "Sister Mingzhu still has a vision, this dress is a dream dress, and this fabric is a newly made dream yarn." β
Mingzhu said a little intoxicated: "This is so good-looking, needless to say, it must be sold in a black shop, right?" It must have been made by Cuijin Building, right? I'm going to buy it at the black family's shop tomorrow, how many colors are there? β
Chen Wenhui said: "There are four colors, in addition to this dream purple, there is also dream blue, there is also dream pink, and there is dream green. β
Mingzhu said: "As soon as I heard the name, I wanted to buy it, and I will definitely buy all four colors tomorrow." β
Chen Wenhui pursed her lips and smiled: "If my sister wants to buy it, you must buy it as soon as possible, otherwise, this fabric will be sold out, and if my sister can't buy it, don't blame me." β
The two girls were chattering, Liu Yan and Liu Jingyuan, and Zhao Chongyi was a little helpless. Halfway through, Liu Jingyuan said, "That, madam, are you going to talk later?" Today is Wen Hui's sister's birthday, we are here to celebrate her birthday, this wine and food are served, and our gifts have not been sent yet. β
Mingzhu hurriedly said: "Look at my brain, His Royal Highness King Jin is still here, so I'll patronize it." Wen Hui, our regular gifts, such as longevity peaches, silk and the like have been sent to the house, here are the small gifts prepared by a few of us. β
After speaking, Mingzhu took out a big box and said: "Those gold and jade and other things, you don't lack them, this is the top tea in my tea garden, I know you like this, I will give you some as a birthday gift." β
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "I like this very much, thank you Sister Mingzhu." β
Liu Jingyuan smiled.
Liu Yan said to Wen Hui: "It turns out that you don't like gold and jade things, but unfortunately, what I prepared is really gold and jade things." After speaking, he took out a clip and opened it, and there was a jade lotus carving inside.
Chen Wenhui smiled: "If my guess is correct, this carving is something from my black family's Jinyutang, right?" β
Liu Yan nodded. Chen Wenhui said: "I know, King Jin is not here to give me this carving, but to sue me, your family is also a customer of my black family Jin Yutang, right?" β
Liu Yan sighed and said, "Can you not be so smart?" β
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Thank you, King Jin." β
Liu Yan said: "This is not a formal gift, my real gift for you is here." β
After speaking, he took out a scroll, Chen Wenhui hurriedly opened it and looked at it, and exclaimed: "Oh, this is the work of the great painter Shui Wuying in the previous dynasty, it is really a rare thing." β
Liu Yan said: "You still know the goods, this thing, not to mention the money spent, the most rare thing is that it is difficult to find." I saw this by chance at the auction house, and I bought it thinking that you have always liked to draw, but fortunately you like it. β
Liu Jingyuan glanced at Liu Yan quietly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Chongyi said: "The things you give are all what Hui'er likes, and my things are a little thin." β
Mingzhu said: "Hurry up and show us what it is, I have been going to see it a long time ago, but you just won't show it." β
Wen Hui was also curious.
Zhao Chongyi took out a clip, opened it, and inside was a pendant, yellow in color, which looked a little ordinary.
But Wen Hui was a little surprised to pick it up and look at it, and finally said: "I just heard about this thing, but I haven't really seen it." This thing is amber, right? β
Zhao Chongyi nodded.
Mingzhu asked curiously: "Although amber is precious and very common, why do you just hear about it?" I remember you had several amber ornaments. β
Chen Wenhui handed the thing to Mingzhu and said, "Amber is very common, but it is rare to find a pair of insects completely wrapped in it. Some people say that this is two insects in danger, hugged each other tightly, but was wrapped in a drop of pine resin, and after hundreds of millions of years, it became this amber with two insects in it. Although they are dead, they will be together forever and ever, together for hundreds of millions of years. β
Mingzhu took it and looked at it, and sure enough: "Really, these two insects are really together, and besides, the worm's whiskers are completely preserved." Wen Hui, is this really like you said, after hundreds of millions of years to become like this? β
Chen Wenhui hadn't spoken yet, Zhao Chongyi had already said: "Hui'er, you are really knowledgeable and talented, you understand what is going on with this amber." Actually, this is what I got in the Northwest, and there are a lot of these things in the Northwest, but there is either nothing in it, or a few broken leaves or something, and there are very few such two insects preserved, I looked strange, so I bought it and gave it to you to play with. β
Liu Yan suddenly felt bad in his heart, and said: "It's still Ayi who has a heart, this thing is estimated to be liked by girls." β
Zhao Chongyi suddenly became proud.
Where do you know that at this time Chen Wenhui said: "I like this thing so much, it reminds me that the northwest is rich in this thing, and there are many good things, such as crystal, there will be some gems, of course, there are coal mines, there must be amber deposits, what a fool, how can such a good business let go, I will go back and discuss with my family, I will send a caravan to the northwest to collect these things, after the processing of the black craftsman, it will definitely be able to sell for a large price." β
Suddenly, all the people were petrified, looking at Wen Hui's golden eyes, they didn't know what to say, and Zhao Chongyi's smug expression was also petrified on his face. Liu Yan smiled bitterly in her heart, wrong, I already knew that this Wen Hui was different from ordinary girls, how could she forget how much she loved money because she was dressed up better today and looked like a beauty?
