Thank you for the news big face broadcast and Xiaoheba for the tips and comments. Let's make a small explosion today, this is the second shift, and there will be a shift at night. Ask for collection recommendations
-----------
It turned out that Huang Yueying and the others each picked out a few pieces of jewelry, but when they were about to pay the bill, they found that Tian Fan was not there, so they followed to the pottery shop. These girls usually go out without money, and they are followed by maids, so today Tian Fan has become a big wrongdoer.
Big Joe chose a pair of earrings, a pair of pearl earrings to be exact. Xiao Qiao and Lu Xin took a fancy to two hairpins, the difference is that Xiao Qiao chose a golden hairpin with two pearls on it, trembling, very good-looking, while Lu Xin picked only a simple hosta, which was green all over, like green bamboo. Huang Yueying took a fancy to a pair of turquoise bracelets, carved from high-quality Lantian jade.
Tian Fan saw that Huan'er and Xiaoqing didn't have it, so he naturally said: "Xiaoqing, Huan'er, why don't you two choose the same?" ”
Xiaoqing and Huan'er glanced at each other, and Xiaoqing said with some embarrassment: "Childe, the two of us are just maids, how can we be qualified to ......"
Tian Fan waved his hand and said, "What kind of maid is not a maid, when did I treat you as a maid?" And Huan'er, speaking of which, you can be regarded as saving my life, and you should give you a piece of jewelry. Well, you two should choose quickly, hehe, don't be polite to me! ”
In other words, Tian Fan is really a rich man now! Since Tian Fan returned from Guangling in early August, Mr. Tian felt that his profession was becoming more and more dangerous, and immediately increased his pocket money. At the same time, the old man gritted his teeth, changed the equipment of his own soldiers, and equipped everyone with an iron armor. And Tian Fan paid for his own money and prepared a set of silk underwear for each of these soldiers, just like the current shirts, to protect the entire upper body. Silk has strong toughness, when injured by arrows, it can effectively prevent arrows from entering the body, and its principle is somewhat similar to body armor, to a certain extent, it can reduce the probability of serious injury.
It is said that Tian Fan's personal soldiers also belong to Liu Beijun's sequence, and the equipment of the generals' personal soldiers is regulated, which is better than ordinary soldiers, and generals of Tian Fan's level are not qualified to equip soldiers with iron armor at all, but they can't afford to have money, so I can pay for it myself, right? Now in Liu Bei's army, all the generals' personal soldiers are the best equipped, one is Liu Bei's, and the other is Tian Fan's! After this iron armor is put on, hey, don't say it, it's so beautiful! The other generals' personal soldiers were so hungry that their saliva flowed down three thousand feet! But it's useless, who made your general have no money?
In fact, Xiaoqing also knows his son-in-law, he really doesn't treat himself as a maid, except for the need to serve him, he is no different from a young lady in life. She just pretended to be a pretend, listened to Tian Fan's words, didn't say a word, and immediately pulled the ring and went towards the jewelry that she had been optimistic about for a long time.
Tian Fan suddenly remembered, did he want to buy something for a few girls in the family? Seeing that the store was indeed quite complete, he also looked at it. The owner is a middle-aged man in his forties, smiling at everyone, a typical good old man. When he saw Tian Fan's demeanor and dress, he immediately knew that this was the main thing, and seeing that he was also looking at those jewelry, he hurriedly greeted him.
"What do you need?"
Tian Fan smiled and said, "I want to buy some jewelry for my family, well, father, mother, younger brother, and three girls, do you think there is anything to recommend?" ”
The shopkeeper's face suddenly turned into a chrysanthemum smile, cheering up the spirit, "Hey, you've come to the right place!" We are the largest jewelry store in the whole Xiangyang City, so you are sure to have something you like! Childe, wait a minute! After speaking, he hurriedly commanded the guys, took out the valuable jewelry that had just been put away again, and opened the boxes one by one. …,
In jewelry stores, the jewelry that is generally placed on the table is not a real boutique. The real boutiques are all put away, and only when buyers who know the goods come, they will take them out, and this one is no exception. With the eyes of Xiao Qiao, Huang Yueying and others, they will definitely directly ask the store to take out the boutiques, so the ones they choose are all boutiques in this store without exception, including Xiaoqing and Huan'er. The shopkeeper thought that after they finished choosing, Tian Fan should pay the bill, so he put away all those treasures, which is why he has these troubles.
"Well, let me think about it, how old are Childe's parents?"
Tian Fan replied: "Around fifty! ”
The shopkeeper said, "Around fifty, well, please come with me!" Childe, how do you look at the jade pendant? This kind of jade pendant is suitable for gifting to the elders, this jade pendant is produced in the Western Regions, you see this luster ,......"
"Also, look at this bracelet again, this is a ...... carefully carved from the finest jadeite from Jiaozhou."
"This jade pendant ......"
"These hairpins, you look at the workmanship, you look at the material......"
……
In the end, under the enthusiastic recommendation of the shopkeeper, Tian Fan picked a jade pendant for his father, a pair of jade bracelets for his mother, and his younger brother Tian Kun was a jade pendant, Bai Yuzhu and Xiao Liu'er each had a hairpin, but the gift to Mi Zhen was a lot of thought! This girl is not interested in gold, silver and jade, most of her jewelry is pearls, but Tian Fan doesn't want to buy her pearl jewelry anymore, he wants to do something new!
The shopkeeper took Tian Fan around, but he didn't find anything that satisfied him. Just when Tian Fan was about to be disappointed, he saw a novelty in the most marginal and inconspicuous small shelf!
This is a string of bracelets made of materials that look ordinary, but they are also beautiful. It is composed of red, heart-shaped, slightly reflective beans!
Tian Fan picked up the bracelet and immediately fell in love with it! He asked, "What is the value of this thing?" ”
The shopkeeper looked at the things in Tian Fan's hand, and was a little embarrassed: "This son, you don't know anything!" This creature is born in the south and is a tree that grows on a tree called a red bean. Originally, it was not used as a jewelry object, but a few days ago, my young lady came here and saw it by chance, and she immediately liked it. So we were ordered to make a batch, but it didn't come to pass, hehe, it was not popular! It's not worth much, if you want it, I'll give you some for free! ”
Tian Fan nodded, the shopkeeper's words confirmed his thoughts, this thing is indeed red beans! Red beans, also known as acacia beans, have a long history as a long-distance lovesick thing between lovers. It's just that I didn't expect that this role of it hasn't started yet.
Smiling, Tian Fan said, "Hehe, this is a good thing!" Not popular, that's because you guys don't advertise! After speaking, his eyes rolled and he was a little ...... Laughing lewdly, he leaned over to the shopkeeper and said, "I said, if I give you a good idea and make this thing sell crazy, can you give me a cheaper price for the things I bought today?" "Even though you have money, maybe it's better to save a little, right? Besides, the things these girls bought today, in the eyes of a layman, are not cheap, and the little money he brought with him is not enough for him to make! He is very glad now, thanks to Huang Yueying and Xiao Qiao's maids did not come, otherwise he would have to vomit blood.
The shopkeeper obviously couldn't adapt to Tian Fan's ill-intentioned smile, he moved his body back, and then replied: "This son, hehe, don't be joking!" It's not me who blows, my young lady is also a famous talented girl, she hasn't been able to come up with any way, what good ideas can you come up with? After speaking, he felt that this was a little inappropriate, and hurriedly continued: "This son, hehe, the villain didn't mean to belittle you, hehe, please don't think about it!" ”…,
Tian Fan said: "Don't care if I can or not, just tell me if you agree!" ”
The shopkeeper thought about it, beckoned a guy, whispered a few words, and waited for the guy to go to the inner hall, and then said to Tian Fan: "This son, wait a while!" ”
Tian Fan nodded and said, "It's okay!" "It seems that the shopkeeper can't be the master of this matter, and he still needs to ask for instructions.
After a while, a young man in his thirties came out of the inner hall with his man. When the shopkeeper saw it, he hurriedly went over to greet him, and called him "the big shopkeeper". The big shopkeeper waved his hand to the shopkeeper, bowed his hand to Tian Fan, and said, "This son, surnamed Wang, is the principal here. I heard about your conditions, I can promise you, as long as your idea is good, I will give away everything you buy today! ”
Tian Fan bowed slightly, bowed his hand to him, and said, "Oh, it's the king in charge, it's polite!" ”
Steward Wang nodded and said, "Childe doesn't have to be polite!" Tell me how to do it. ”
"Good stewardship of the king. In fact, to put it bluntly, the reason why this red bean is not good to sell is not because it is not good, but because it has no special meaning! My idea for you is actually very simple, and that is to give it a special meaning! I have a poem here, and if you promote it with this red bean, it will definitely make a difference! ”
After speaking, he asked the shopkeeper to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, motioned for Xiaoqing to hold the pen, and said softly: "Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches will be sent in spring." May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely! ”
In a moment, Xiaoqing also finished writing! She picked up the silk silk, dried it carefully, and said with sparkling eyes: "Childe is a good poem!" I just don't know, what is the name of the poem? ”
Tian Fan pretended to be deep and said: "Acacia! ”
When a few girls heard this, their eyes brightened!
He said to Huang Yueying: "Sister Yueying, last time you said that you wanted me to make another poem about my missing sister Zhen'er, hehe, now it's finally done!" ”
Huang Yueying nodded silently.
It seems that the king is also a knowledgeable person, and after listening to this song "Acacia", his eyes are also bright. He didn't wait for Tian Fan to speak, snatched the poem from Xiaoqing's hand, nodded while reading it, and said in his mouth: "Gongzi Dacai, once this poem comes out, I am afraid that all the poems written about lovesickness between men and women in the world will no longer be remembered!" ”
Tian Fan hurriedly said: "Where is it, don't dare, don't dare!" ”
The steward Wang watched it for a long time, and then folded the silk silk carefully, put it in his arms, hugged his fist to Tian Fan, and said: "The son is talented, and the villain admires!" I don't know who Childe is? ”
Tian Fan had to make a simple self-introduction, and after hearing that this was the world-famous new talent Tian Fan, he immediately said: "Who did I say, it turned out to be Tian Gongzi!" Childe, please speak in the inner hall. ”
Tian Fan shook his head and said, "Forget it, Wang is in charge, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany him much!" Oh, I'm sorry! ”
Steward Wang nodded a little disappointed, and said: "Since the son has something, the villain will not delay the son's time much, and please come here again when the son is free!" ”
Although Tian Fan had something to do, he still gave him a good idea, suggesting that Steward Wang develop a series of jewelry centered on acacia beans, such as adding a red bean to a string of small pearls, and for example, a bracelet or necklace composed of red beans and small pearls arranged alternately. These ideas were also very clever for the king's steward. This kind of jewelry can be sold entirely from pearls at half the cost. Compared with the jewelry of all red beans, these things are more suitable for the high-end market, anyway, rich people don't care about money, they just want that meaning.
Under the courteous send-off of Steward Wang, a few girls followed Tian Fan, who was holding a large bag of things, out of the jewelry store. They were all silent, not saying a word, probably reminiscing about Tian Fan's poem. Several girls are literate and hyphenated, especially Xiao Qiao, Huang Yueying, and Xiaoqing, and they have a certain amount of research on poetry and songs. Although Lu Xin and Huan'er are not proficient in poetry, Lu Xin's two mothers, Yan and Diao Chan, have some attainments in poetry and the like, and the two have followed them since childhood, and they have some appreciation. Tian Fan's poem, in their opinion, is definitely a masterpiece, and the strong feeling of longing makes their hearts tremble. …,
There was a little unpleasantness between Lu Xin and Tian Fan, but the two killed the assassin side by side, which made her understand that Tian Fan was not the kind of useless gentleman, and later the story of "The Condor Heroes" made her see another skill of Tian Fan, and that unpleasantness had disappeared. Xiao Qiao and Tian Fan were also a little unhappy, because he regarded Tian Fan as a disciple, but the heart-wrenching plots in "Condor" made her have to rethink, did she really misunderstand Tian Fan? Now after listening to Tian Fan's poem, she suddenly understands that she really misunderstood Tian Fan! How can a person who can make such exquisite poems and miss the person in his heart so much be a disciple? She even envied that woman a little, and heard Xiaoqing say that it was a woman named Mi Zhen......
It took a long time for several women to put away their minds and continue to shop happily.
The next target was a silk storefront......
It wasn't until late afternoon that Tian Fan ended this ordeal.
Back at the inn, after eating, it was time for the usual storytelling. Originally, Tian Fan didn't want to talk about it, but he was so tired today, he estimated that a few girls would be quite tired after they came back, but they couldn't stand it! Tian Fan believes it now, a man's endurance is really not as good as a woman!
But before he could tell the story, he had to take a shower. It's just right, a few girls are going to wash, gotta do it, let's go together! …… It's not washed in the same place, don't get me wrong, just wash it at the same time!
After he finished washing, he waited for nearly half an hour before the gang of girls finished washing. Fortunately, there are special people in the post house to serve, if Xiaoqing finishes serving him, and Xiaoqing washes again, when will it have to wait?
A large group of people sat together, all with their hair scattered, and their wet hair was dripping with water. After several people looked at each other, they all laughed.
Today's story starts with the candles in the cave room of Yang Long and the two. When talking about this paragraph, although Tian Fan didn't talk about it carefully, the girls were still blushing with shame. Except for Huang Yueying, she has been asking, why not talk about it carefully? Poor baby, without a mother, is also a heartless child...... However, it's a cute heartless eye!
Today's time is limited, Tian Fan tried to speak as quickly as possible, and talked until the Fengling night talk, that is, the little dragon girl left, and there was no antidote. Several girls cried like tearful people, and they all looked at Tian Fan with that very hateful gaze.
Tian Fan suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, and he was almost frightened and couldn't take care of himself, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, they will meet again in the future!" Before they could come to their senses, they said, "Okay, it's too late today, let's continue tomorrow!" ”
After saying this, he ran away.
