Chapter Eighty-Four: Doing Things
Qin Niang entered the Tang family's gold shop, and the shopkeeper didn't recognize her, but looking at her dress, he knew that she was the wife of a rich and noble family, and instantly greeted her with a smile: "This lady, do you want to see the Taoist ornaments?" Or is it a headdress? There are custom-made and ready-made ones in the small shop, and everything in this counter has to be selected. ”
Saying that, he led Qin Niang to the counter with gold jewelry, and showed all the golden jewelry in front of Qin Niang, and kept introducing: "This golden step is just right for you, the jade in the middle is priceless, last time Mrs. Rong came to see it, said that it was almost money, and I will come to see it in two days, if you like it, you can take it away now, so as not to turn back and she will come, so she bought it." ”
"It's all unique like this, and there will never be a duplicate one."
"There is also a bracelet here, the gem inlaid in the middle, it is also a rare treasure in a hundred years, ordinary people can't support its aura, I think this lady has a good temperament, and she can definitely hold it up with this."
"And this, this necklace is also a unique product, and there are words on the pendant that the lonely master personally mentioned, which is engraved with a special seal carving method, which is definitely priceless."
The shopkeeper was full of smiles, like a Buddha of Mile, gushing all the way, introducing Qin Niang, no matter which ornament Qin Niang's eyes fell on, he could say that it was a flower, and he also slapped the horse's fart flying, and several people on the side of Qiu Tao smacked their tongues again and again.
Where did Tang Wan dig this shopkeeper from? Even if the things in their store are not so good, I believe that with his mouth alone, he can sell a lot of things, right?
"Shopkeeper, these styles of yours are too old, aren't there any new ones?" Qin Niang asked with a look of lack of interest in the necklace.
"Old, old?" The shopkeeper was obviously thundered by her word, and his face, which had been shining a quarter of an hour ago, suddenly froze, and he thought he had heard it wrong, so he hurriedly said, "This is a new style in our store, and other stores definitely don't sell it, I don't believe you can go around this street again." ”
Burst!
Lin Yao, who was holding a fan to block his face and sneaking in from the crowd, almost didn't burst out laughing, he leaned close to Gu Chen's ear and whispered, "Sister-in-law is definitely here to do something." ”
Who doesn't know that Tang Wan's gold store has the highest rate of new products, and they are changing tricks all year round, but Qin Niang took the latest style of things, and said with a sad face that it was too old, is this going to anger the shopkeeper?
Gu Chen's face was also very strange and looked at Qin Niang, but he didn't speak.
"Shopkeeper, you don't have to bluff me, I just came out of the Xie gold shop opposite, the shopkeeper just showed me a set of customized heads, but it looks good, just the pattern, it is not these ordinary carvings in your store, if it is not only that set, but also someone preemptively asked, I will not come to your store to see."
Qin Niang said, and she raised her face at a forty-five degree angle rather melancholy, supported her chin, and let out a long sigh.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't do it: "This lady, this can't be, right?" The one opposite hasn't had a new style for a long time, and who in the capital doesn't know that their Xie family has exhausted Jiang Lang's talents, so why is it coming out with a new style now? I don't believe it. ”
The shopkeeper shook his head again and again.
Qin Niang looked at him and said with great certainty: "It's true, I can draw a rough picture now, I don't believe I will draw it for you." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, although he had doubts in his heart, he did not hesitate, and hurriedly ordered someone to take a pen and paper, if the Xie family on the opposite side really came up with a new style, then he had to report to the boss of Tang, and it was good to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise, if the opposite side waited for the opportunity to turn over again, it would be the biggest opponent in their store.
That's not going to happen.
In order to crush the Xie clan at the beginning, they didn't work hard, how can they give them a chance to dig up now?
The pen and paper were quickly taken, Qin Niang took the pen and drew a rough picture according to the original drawing, and then pointed to the style on it and said: "You see, just this pattern is not much better than the one in your store?" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned by her question, his eyes staring at the sketch, and he was reluctant to move away for a long time, he is a person who has been in the jewelry business for decades, with his unique gaze, where can he not see that this is a very good-looking style?
If such a thing is really the old thing opposite, and it is ready to push out a new product, then he really can't be sloppy, so he immediately smiled again, looked at Qin Niang and said: "This lady, did the Xie family on the other side tell you, is there any other style?" If it's custom-made, how long will it take for them to make the next one? ”
The corners of Qin Niang's lips were almost invisible, and this was the effect she wanted.
On her face, she still looked very sad and said: "They said that there will be a hundred flowers conference next month, and before that, there will be a tea ceremony, and there will definitely be many people who need these jewelry, so in order to fight for the conference in a month, they decided not to open these days, and make jewelry at home behind closed doors, waiting for the time to have a full house." ”
"Shopkeeper, they showed me several general styles just now, I think they are all more innovative than those in your store, if you don't want to find a way to come up with something special, I'm afraid you will be compared." As she spoke, she sighed, stood up, and beckoned to her maids, "Let's go, I'm tired after shopping for so long, let's go back." ”
Qiu Tao and the others responded with a "yes", and then hugged Qin Niang out of the Tang gold store, Zheng Yanxi hid behind and overheard it, and immediately had an idea in his head.
Opposite Xie wants to come out with a new product? And also need to be customized in advance? Is she going to get a set too? This year's Hundred Flowers Conference is already the last she can participate, and if she can't fight for a full house, she will really become a daylily.
However, such a unique new style must be very expensive, right? If it was more expensive than Tang's Gold Shop, then she would definitely not be able to afford it.
What to do?
Her mind was spinning rapidly, and suddenly, an idea flashed out, so the corners of her lips hooked, and her mood immediately relaxed.
"Miss, are we going home?" Zheng Yanxi's maid Qiao'er glanced at her and asked.
"No, let's go to Yanfu." Zheng Yanxi said, taking her maid and walking quickly towards the Zheng family's carriage.
"Huh?" Qiao'er looked at her young lady with a confused expression, in fact, she didn't know Zheng Yanxi's brain circuit very well, and she didn't understand why she had to go to Qin Niang for trouble every time, obviously she wanted to marry into the Yang family, it stands to reason that she was a sister-in-law, so please her, why do you mess with her when you get old?
Moreover, she was scolded so much just now, and she still had to follow her all the way, and now that people are going home, she is going to Yan's house, she really can't keep up with her brain circuit.
Zheng Yanxi didn't care what she was thinking in her heart, her mind was full of the thought that just popped up at the moment, and the more she thought about it, the more excited she became, the more excited she became, so much so that she was smirking the whole time.
……
Qin Niang came out of the gold shop, and suddenly felt comfortable all over, and Xingzhi, who had been defeated by Zheng Yanxi before, came back.
"Miss, Miss Cousin seems to be going that way?" Qiu Xue watched the carriage of the Zheng Mansion gradually disappear at the end of the street, and asked, "Where do you say she is going?" That direction is not the direction back to Zhengfu. ”
Qin Niang said casually: "Where else can she go, naturally she is going to tell someone with more status than her that Xie is going to release a new product, let the other party hurry up and see if it's true, if it's true, she naturally wants to get some light, otherwise, with her, she also wants to afford the sky-high price of noodles?" ”
Qin Niang sneered, it was not that she looked down on her, but with the financial resources of the Zheng family, she really couldn't afford to buy the sky-high price.
"Others are not stupid, can they make her naked?" Qiu Tao asked with a look of disbelief.
"You don't know this, my second cousin, I don't have any other skills, this sycophancy's kung fu is first-class, if she hits the right place, don't say more, just send her a pair of steps to shake or something, it's still okay." For a noble lady, this is really not a big deal.
Besides, looking at the direction, she can guess a thing or two about whose house she went to.
When I went to Mama Rui's hometown to invite Mama Jin, none of the high-ranking nobles, the prince and grandson, could see Mama Jin's face, but she was a later person, whose family background is not very thick, and quietly got people away, which was jealous of many people, needless to say.
Now that she has seized the opportunity, Zheng Yanxi can't take advantage of the situation to fall into my face?
A few people were walking casually on the street, and a carriage suddenly jumped out of front of them, Qiu Xue's face changed, and she shouted, "Miss be careful!" ”
She escorted Qin Niang to the side, but the carriage was running too fast, and it came to them in an instant, even if Qiu Xue had martial arts, in this case, she couldn't escape with Qin Niang's light skills.
"Ahh
There was a burst of exclamations in the crowd, and some of them were timid, and they even covered their eyes and didn't dare to look over there, for fear of seeing the bloody scene.
Qin Niang's heart also rose violently, almost jumping out of her throat, she didn't expect that in this kind of downtown area, there would be someone so arrogant and arrogant, if she was trampled by this horse, she would have to go to half her life if she didn't die.
At this moment, a figure flew diagonally, rode neatly on the horse, grabbed the reins, and forcibly turned the horse in a different direction.
Hearing the horse's fierce neighing, he raised his front hooves, and was pulled to a stop on the spot, not daring to take another half step forward.
Qiu Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and the arm protecting Qin Niang suddenly loosened, and then she saw the person on the horse clearly, and shouted: "Miss, that seems to be Gu Gongzi." ”
The reason why she used the word "like" was mostly because the coarse cloth and linen that Gu Chen was wearing at the moment really didn't look like their noble Gu Gongzi.
