Chapter 156: A Dress and a House
Fang Yue went to the embroidery brocade workshop and looked at every piece of clothing carefully, which is very good, and the color matching and composition are definitely the first ready-to-wear workshop. So, this is the ancient luxury brand!
A white fox cloak that is regularly displayed here, the lining is satin, not live, the satin is embroidered with silk thread and fox fur, the fox skin is of excellent quality, the hair tips are distinct, the wind blows, the silver thread is hidden under the hair tip, and the silver light can be seen flashing.
This understated luxury, like shoes that can't see water. If the cloak is worn outside, if it is a little dirty, the whole thing cannot be used, because the pattern embroidered on the root of the fox fur is not easy to remove, and even if the embroidery thread is removed with great effort, the whole white fox skin will be ruined.
A white fox fur cloak costs about five hundred taels in Leping. White fox fur is rare, and no one is willing to make it into disposable clothes. The white fox fur cloak here costs nine hundred and thirty taels, what kind of concept is this, that is, a set of houses that my father has been talking about all year round and has a park can only be replaced with one such cloak.
The sable is a big one, the hem is embroidered with a circle of orchid grass, the shopkeeper is very modest to say, because it took many years to collect the sable to make this dress, the capital is the only one, a capital, only five thousand taels.
You have a mine in my house! She had seen five thousand taels of silver, and it took three boxes to hold the camphor wood box for the futon, and she was crazy to buy it for such a big one.
A dress spread on a very wide table, blue fur, embroidery of emerald and silver thread, between the changes of light and shadow, the clothes are colorful, and the beauty makes people dare not touch it.
The shopkeeper is still very kind and thoughtful to introduce the clothes, without a little impatience.
This dress is a new product this year, and it is the only one, and it will never hit the shirt, and the asking price is 7,600 taels.
What an eye-opener! Fang Yue looked around for a while, he couldn't touch it, it was too precious. I'm afraid that I will ask for money if I touch it.
"It's good, it's beautiful." Fang Yue took a step back in praise, couldn't speak loudly, sprayed spittle, and asked me for money.
"The girl is polite, and it is a blessing for the girl to be able to take a fancy to it." The female shopkeeper knew that Fang Yue would not buy it, but she still smiled and served patiently.
Look, what you buy at a luxury store, half of it is a brand, half of it is this kind of service that makes you like a princess.
Fang Yue gritted his teeth and bought a purse, fifty taels! How much chicken powder do I have to buy to earn it back? A jar of chicken essence powder is only 500 yuan!
Fang Yue looked at the screen standing in the middle, and admired the embroidery girl for being able to divide the embroidery thread into sixteen strands.
"Girl, there are not many people in the world who can divide the embroidery thread into sixteen strands, and you can count it with one hand. It's a pity that there is one less embroidery in such an embroidery! The shopkeeper sighed.
"Oh?"
The shopkeeper's said, "It is an embroidery that we received from the north, I heard that it is a new mountain shadow embroidery method, it is very exquisite, but it is a pity that the embroidery lady is handmade, if the embroidery thread can be divided into eight strands, the embroidered screen will be more exquisite." ”
Fang Yue smiled and asked, "Can I take a look at that embroidery?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled politely, "I'm sorry, the embroidery that the girl wants to see, our owner has already collected it." The proprietor said that no one could study this embroidery method without the consent of the embroiderer. ”
"Your host's character is really good." Fang Yue smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Can I meet your host?" ”
"Something wrong with the girl?" The shopkeeper asked.
Fang Yue took out the embroidered handkerchief from his arms, "This is what I embroidered, I'm sorry, I can only divide the embroidery thread into four strands at most, the mountain shadow embroidery method you said is also something I figured out, but unfortunately my skills are still far behind." ”
"Girl!" The shopkeeper's voice suddenly increased, and his eyes staring at the embroidered handkerchief would not roll, "I don't know if the lady of the Ningguo Mansion wiped the forehead, was it done by the girl?" ”
"It was embroidered a few years ago, it was very rough, fortunately Grandma Hu did not dislike it, and she often wore it, which made you smile and ashamed." Fang Yue smiled and bowed her head, she was a little embarrassed.
The shopkeeper hurriedly asked, "I wonder if the girl can stay there?" The owner was out and couldn't rush back for a while, so he asked the girl to leave her address, and the owner was scheduled to visit. ”
Fang Yue looked at Liao Ling and thought about it, "When you go to Fang Kee Pastry Shop, you say that you want to find a chick, and they will notify me." ”
"The girl is the young lady of the Fang Kee pastry shop?" The shopkeeper is very unsure, Fang Ji pastry is said to be the property of the county lord, the identity of this young lady, are they high?
"Oh, yes! You just have to go, the shopkeeper is Grandma Li, you will know as soon as you say her. Fang Yue said easily, seeing that his brother had paid the silver in his purse, he said hello to the shopkeeper and said goodbye.
Liao Ling praised when she left the store, "My sister is really amazing!" ”
Fang Yue knew that the ancients had just never seen this kind of painting, but in ancient times, they would use the shade of ink to present the three-dimensional means of the painting.
Compared with the elegance of ink painting, the embroidery pattern should take care of the proportion of the embroidery thread and the picture. Fang Yue never thinks about these, he draws them when he sees something he is interested in, and then bothers to find the embroidery thread, as for what finished product he wants to make, it all depends on what the drawing pattern is suitable for.
Chang'an knew that his sister was not suitable for cooperating with the embroidery workshop, and her sister was too casual and difficult to cooperate with the business operation.
"Do you want me to accompany you to meet the owner of Xiujinfang?" Chang'an asked.
Fang Yue smiled and said, "Brother, I'm still busy with the tricycle at home!" ”
She has a position for herself, and a senior embroidery lady is not suitable for her. The three of them didn't go shopping anymore and went back to the Guogong Mansion.
"You're back, are you crazy? I discussed with your father and was going to buy a house in the capital, what do you say? Dong Xiaoying found her children and asked for advice straight to the point.
Chang'an has no opinion, after all, the family's money is earned by his mother and father, and even his sister has a charcoal business and has saved a lot of silver.
Fang Yue looked at her mother in surprise and asked, "My God, is our family so rich?" Well? No, aren't you studying with your father? ”
Dong Xiaoying raised her hand and waved, "Don't mention it, there are such big words in the book, he was dizzy when he said it, as soon as Xiaoxiao and Kang Kang left, he began to feel sleepy, and he wanted Changbao to read to him." But I'm annoyed, I'm going crazy watching him review his homework. ”
Fang Yue smiled and asked, "Mother, do you know the housing prices in the capital?" How big is a house to buy in Beijing? Daddy doesn't want a house with a garden! Do we have enough money? ”
Dong Xiaoying patted her waist, "It's not a lot of money, a few thousand taels are still drops!" ”
Chang'an said: "I thought our family had tens of thousands of taels of silver!" ”
"My eldest son, do you know the purchasing power of a thousand taels of silver! There are 1,000 taels of silver, and our family can eat flowers for decades in Fenggu Town. ”
Dong Xiaoying looked outside, "Let's go to the capital!" I think we are just passers-by, your father said, if he is allowed to compile books in the Hanlin Academy, he is estimated to become the sleepy general of the Hanlin Academy. Your father plans to go back after taking the Jinshi exam, and it's boring to be an official.
If the emperor didn't let him compile books in the Hanlin Academy, he would consider staying in the capital for a few years, at least to see what the highest institution of learning, Guozijian, was like. ”
Fang Yue yawned, "Aha! You don't have a score! Can you be admitted, or should you stay in the capital? I bought a house with a bang on my head, who will I live in the future? ”
Dong Xiaoying retorted: "How can no one live? Your Grandma Li, the second uncle's family, our chicken powder workshop, you can't always use the place of the Guogong Mansion! ”
"Hey! Don't lie to me, before going out, the patriarch gave a thousand taels of silver tickets, saying that he met cheap farming cattle on the road, and asked his father to buy calves for the village to transport back, and said that if there is a surplus and enough money, buy a house in the capital, and you can't always take advantage of Mrs. Hu. Fang Yue lifted her mother's bottom.
Dong Xiaoying said: "We don't know the housing prices in Beijing!" 12,000 is not enough to buy? ”
