A few days later, a woman dressed as a noble lady walked into Ronghua Pavilion with anger and called for the shopkeeper. Qiao Anping smiled and invited him into the room, but after a few breaks, the lady walked out with a smile on her face, and picked out a few more expensive jewelry to buy before leaving.

In the next few days, several more ladies arrived with different looks, but they all left with smiles on their faces, and Xue Qing was confused.

When another lady arrived, Qiao Anping smiled and said, "You come in with me." ”

Xue Qing thought about it, walked in with tea, and then stood aside.

Qiao Anping smiled: "What advice does Madame have?" ”

The lady slapped a booklet on the table: "Oh, I don't dare to advise, I just want to ask, what do you mean by the shopkeeper!" ”

Qiao Anping opened the booklet and said: "A few days ago, the girl from Caichun Garden bought this hairpin in the shop. It's just that the villain thinks that the hairpin is solemn and elegant, and it is not suitable for the girl like smoke, but for the temperament of Mrs. Wang Shao. ”

Qiao Anping turned another page of the booklet, and continued: "So the villain has improved the hairpin and adjusted it on the basis of the original, which is not only more exquisite and gorgeous than the original, but also can better bring out the temperament of the lady, and the added tassels can also increase the gentleness of the woman." If you don't dislike Madame, the villain will create this hairpin for Madame. The villain can promise that the hairpin customized by the villain for his wife is the only one in the world. ”

Mrs. Wang Shao thought for a while and said, "Can the shopkeeper create any jewelry?" ”

Qiao Anping said: "The small shop has just opened, and it is currently mainly based on hairpin rings. I may not be able to get other things in my small shop. ”

Seeing him say this, without exaggeration, Mrs. Wang Shao was even more relieved. She smiled: "I saw that Mrs. He has a step shake before, which is very good-looking, and I also want to build one." ”

Qiao Anping asked Xue Qing to take a pen and paper and said, "Please tell Madame to come and listen." ”

After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, Qiao Anping drew the appearance of the hairpin. Mrs. Wang said happily: "Yes, that's what it looks like!" ”

Qiao Anping changed another piece of paper and said, "Madam, this hairpin is certainly good-looking, but Madame, you are younger than Mrs. He, and wearing such a hairpin will inevitably look old, what do you think of this?" ”

After Qiao Anping finished speaking, he drew again, and only slightly modified on the basis of the original, and a hairpin with a new feeling came out. Qiao Anping was lustful and gave the pattern to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang exclaimed: "Wonderful, wonderful! This slight modification actually played the role of the finishing touch. Not only is it more beautiful than the original, but if you don't look closely, you can't see that the hairpin is from the same source as the original. Shopkeeper, I bought both hairpins. ”

"Madam, both of your hairpins need to be customized. If the lady can be trusted, please attach a deposit of one hundred taels of silver. After five days, you can send someone to fetch it, and give you eighty taels of silver. ”

"Very good." Mrs. Wang immediately took out two hundred taels of silver tickets and gave them to Qiao Anping, "There is no need for a deposit, I can trust the shopkeeper's craftsmanship." I have only one request, the hairpin I purchased cannot appear in the same paragraph. ”

"Madam, don't worry, don't say it's the same paragraph, even the modified paragraph won't appear. The hairpins made by my own Qiao Anping, each one is unique. ”

"Okay, then I'll send someone to fetch it in five days." Mrs. Wang Shao smiled, "If this hairpin is really as beautiful as the picture on this picture, I will buy it from you in the future." ”

"Hey, what the hell have you done!" Seeing off Mrs. Wang Shao, Xue Qing couldn't help but ask.

Qiao Anping pulled her to the backyard and said, "I went to Caichun Garden first?" ”

"Spring Garden? What is that place? ”

"Uh...... I'm not looking for a girl, I'm going to sell something. Qiao An hurriedly explained, seeing that she didn't speak, she quickly moved on to the topic, "I remembered what hairpins each flower girl bought, and then found some flowers to collect the romance of those rich families in this town." Then I handed the ladies a post, and they came. ”

Qiao Anping handed the post left by Mrs. Wang to Xue Qing just now, only to see that two hairpins were painted on the post, one hairpin was sold by Qiao Anping before, and the words "Purchased by Miss Ruyan" were written below, and "Ronghua Pavilion New Style" was written below.

Xue Qing suddenly understood: "That Ruyan girl is the good friend of this young lady Wang's family, so she came over angrily when she saw these words...... Oh, so you were drawing these things the other night! Qiao Anping, I can't imagine that you usually look honest, but you also have a bad stomach! ”

Qiao Anping said with a smile: "Xueqing, my Qiao family has been in business for generations. ”

"Well, it's really no business!"

"I've made a total of eight posts, and now six people are here, which is better than I expected."

"It's only eight, why don't you send more?"

Qiao Anping poked her forehead: "Stupid! Scarcity is expensive. Besides, there can be a few large households in Jianghan Town, and we have to go down for a long time. He now found that although Xue Qing was smart, she didn't have any heart. She just loves and hates clearly, and she will pull her face to people she doesn't like, and she gets along very well when she is acquainted.

"Oh, yes. Xue Qing, you will help me watch this shop next. You don't have to do anything, just look at Wei Quan and Huang Gang, just don't let them be lazy. If there is someone who wants to find me in the back, or wants to customize the hairpin ring, you will help me push it, just say that I am concentrating on making hairpins and have no time to meet customers. ”

Of course, Xue Qing was not stupid, and immediately understood Qiao Anping's intentions, and said with a smile: "Leave it to me." "Tianhe

"Starting next month, I can't make more than five hairpin rings per month." Qiao Anping said with confidence, and then sighed: "According to the current trend, the shop can make a profit of about 1,800 taels of silver this month, but I can only get five cents of profit, only 90 taels of silver." This Xie Dong's house is really dark, and when I have enough money, we will go to Hanchang County to open a shop and run it ourselves. ”

Xue Qing smiled and crooked: "Okay! ”

On April 15, Xie Dongjia came over on time to collect the accounts. Looking at the account book that Qiao Anping took out, Xie Dongjia smiled from ear to ear. That master is really powerful, and he instructed himself to open a jewelry shop here, which is really profitable.

This month, the shop made a total profit of 1,947 taels of silver, and according to the agreement, Qiao Anping could get more than 97 taels of dividends. Xie Dongjia generously gave him one hundred taels, plus ten taels of silver for a month, Qiao Anping got a total of one hundred and ten taels of silver. Distributed ten taels of dividends and one or two months of money to Wei Quan and Huanggang each, and Qiao Anping earned a total of eighty-eight taels of silver.

Wei Quan and Huang Gang were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut, the money they got this month was worth their usual income for a year. In addition to doing some daily chores, they didn't sell much jewelry, and the shop's profitability was all due to the shopkeeper. They can follow a good shopkeeper, and they really earn it. So the two of them beckoned the guests to work harder, hoping that they could also sell some jewelry and get more next month.

Qiao Anping felt that it was not worth it, he had been busy for a long time to get such a little silver. No, if the business is still so good next month, he has to mention it to the owner, at least share him with a dividend, otherwise he won't do it.

Xue Qing looked at Qiao Anping keeping accounts and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, I also have a part to help, why don't you send me some monthly money?" ”

Qiao Anping smiled and put all the silver in Xue Qing's hand: "Okay, here you go, these are all for you." ”

Xue Qing was puzzled: "What are you doing here?" ”

"I won't say anything, I'll raise you. Of course, the money is for you to keep safe. ”

Xue Qing pouted and said, "I will only spend money, not make money." ”

Qiao Anping smiled: "You spend, I am happy." I'll earn double as much you spend, okay? ”

Xue Qing took the silver and said, "If you are not afraid of being spent by me, just let me here." ”

"Alright, let's go!"

"Where are you going?"

"Redeem your earrings and bracelets."

"You...... How do you know? ”

"Otherwise, where did you get the money to prepare for the opening of the shop for me."

"Oh, let's go." Now that he has found out, Xue Qing will not deny it, and originally wanted to ask him for money to redeem it secretly.

Qiao Anping helped Xue Qing put on the earrings and bracelets, and suddenly said with annoyance: "Alas, look at me, I have been designing and building hairpin rings these days, but I have never made a hairpin for you." ”

Xue Qing said indifferently: "Oh, I don't care about this. ”

"You don't care, I do." Qiao Anping stared into her eyes and promised, "Xueqing, if you give me a little time, I will definitely create a hairpin that is unique in the world, only you can be worthy of it, and let it show the ultimate hairpin." ”

Xue Qing was a little flustered by him, and hurriedly avoided his gaze.

She will do this because she is grateful for Qiao Anping's dedication to herself. She didn't want to owe him much, so she did what she could to make up for it. Moreover, after so many things, she no longer dislikes Qiao Anping, and really treats him as a friend. It's just that in Qiao Anping's opinion, these behaviors are Xue Qing slowly accepting him.

Qiao Yuanzhi put down the ledger with a smile, revealing a satisfied look.

Anxin came behind him and gave him a thump on the back. Seeing Qiao Yuanzhi's eyes narrowed in comfort, he said with peace of mind: "Master, in the past month, An'er has really changed. ”

Qiao Yuanzhi still squinted his eyes and said, "Yes, this kid is quite good at playing tricks." ”

"Master, you just let him marry Xue Qing, and you can let him have a servant in the future."

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

"Master, we only felt at first that Xue Qing's family background was not good and she was not worthy of An'er. But you see, no matter how much we disciplined this boy before, he was not obedient and did not want to take over the business. Now because of Xue Qing, he has a sense of responsibility and has become much more well-behaved and sensible. Maybe we thought badly, and letting him marry Xue Qing may be more conducive to the development of my Qiao family. ”

An Xinru thought about it and said: "And Xueqing's child is also well-behaved and obedient, and he will be easier to handle if his family background is not good." Even if An'er doesn't obey discipline in the future, we can still let Xue Qing blow the pillow wind to him. Do you see how much An'er cares about Xue Qing, are you still afraid that he will be disobedient in the future? ”

Qiao Yuanzhi opened his eyes, took Anxinru's hand and said, "Madame is right. ”
