183 Mutual gifts
On the second day, after getting out of the school, the official came to report that the dozen or so boxes of goods that had sunk into the river were salvaged, and the Song Mansion sent someone to retrieve them.
She took Watson and Cui'er to the mansion, counted the goods, and shipped them directly to Fu Guxuan's old store.
Since handing over the old shop to Tao Awang to take care of, she has not come to take a look.
Today, I saw that the customers in the store were ushered in, and it was a lively scene.
Especially the pendant sitting behind the counter, with two tugging, lined with the round rumbling face, just like a lucky doll.
Wen'er and Wen'er used to be silent in the mansion, but now they are like Cui'er, opening their mouths like spitting loquats, and talking about some guests with laughter.
When they saw Yu Qiao, they all came over to greet each other.
Yu Qiao instructed Ngawang: "Count these goods and put them in storage, and then put them on the shelves in turn according to the price of the category." ”
Ngawang hurriedly called two men and carried the boxes into the storeroom.
Yu Qiao walked around to the back of the counter, pinched Shen'er's face, and asked, "Was there a profit last month?" ”
Shen'er replied seriously: "Since the reopening of the door, Brother Ngawang has re-summoned a few guys, so that they can do things with peace of mind, and also rented a small courtyard for the guys to live in. ”
"All parts of the store have been redecorated according to Sister Wen'er's wishes, and all the counters have been repainted."
"Originally, the lord had a tea room, which was divided into several private rooms for guests to rest and drink tea. On the third floor, two rooms came out again, one for the three of us girls and one for Ngawang. ”
"Last month, the door was opened for fourteen days, and a total profit of two hundred and eighteen taels was made, and after deducting these expenses, there was not much left, so I didn't report to you, Miss."
"As for last month, there were more and more guests, and at the end of the month, the profit was six hundred and ninety-seven taels, thinking that the house would be overhead, so I asked Brother Ngawang to transport it back to the house overnight and handed it over to Uncle Tao."
Shen'er's mouth is even sharper than Cui'er's, only to hear Cui'er's smile and smile: "Miss is really right, this girl is the most elf." ”
Yu Qiao was wondering why Steward Tao hadn't told her about it.
Shen'er said as if to take credit: "Miss, business is getting better this month, and the profit should be more, Miss doesn't need to worry anymore." ”
Yu Qiao reached out and pinched her fat face again, walked into the warehouse, sat down on the chair next to her, and watched Ah Wang take out the items in the box one by one, and register them in the same way.
This batch of goods cost my father's life. Now that it has been lost and regained, it is even more mixed.
The Song family deals in antiques, not jewelry. The hairpin and the pair of jade bracelets were specially bought by my father for Erniang and Xiaoniang.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Ngawang take out two pieces of jade from a small box. One is jade, the other is jade, ring-shaped, the only difference is that there is a gap in jade.
This jade jue was originally in pairs, mostly from the side of the heroine of the ancient tomb. However, jade jue is different, it is a ring-shaped notched jade, which is usually worn by men.
In terms of size, Jue is bigger than Jue.
Yu Qiao stretched out his hand and took the two pieces of jade. After looking at it carefully for a long time, it should be a tomb from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
She picked it up and compared it to her ear, and then put it in the purse she was hanging from her waist.
That Jue was still put in the box. He handed it to Watson and said, "I went to the Guogong Mansion with my grandmother in the evening, and I took this as a thank you gift to Brother Dao." ”
She said casually, but Watson pursed his lips tightly.
Brother Dao?
Are they so close?
Yu Qiao also chose a bronze standing bird Boshan furnace Lux smoker from the Shang and Zhou dynasties and used it as a gift to his godmother.
He handed it to Watson and got up and said, "Let's go to the second store and have a look." ”
Every time I hear her say No. 1 store and No. 2 store, I feel novel, and others don't say anything like that.
Ngawang smiled: "Miss, we all call this the old shop, and Sheng Niangzi's side is the new shop." ”
Yu Qiao also smiled: "There will be a third store and a fourth store in the future." ”
Watson followed her with a cold face, and the coolness even dropped by dozens of degrees in the surrounding temperature.
Yu Qiao turned his face to look at him sideways and said jokingly: "Are you an iceberg?" A cold air that will freeze people to death. ”
He pursed his lips and asked, "Is the Jue given to him a token?" ”
Yu Qiao was stunned. Token? This one is put in one place, is it a pair of tokens?
A token of a lover? Or is it a token of farewell?
Yu Qiao stretched out his hand, took the box in his hand, opened it, picked up the Jue, took his hand, and put it on the thumb of his right hand.
"Since it's a token, you are not allowed to take it off if you wear it."
His tightly pursed lips cracked slightly, and the brackets on his cheeks were as gorgeous as spring flowers blooming, and warm as a breeze blowing willows.
Such a smile, Yu Qiao has rarely seen it, he has always been silent and cold, even in the face of her warmth, he dare not be too strong or too light.
And at this moment, this almost feminine softness made her look stupid.
He said softly, "I'm going to give you a token too." ”
Stretched out his hand and took out a piece of jade from his arms, put it in Yu Qiao's palm, and said in a low voice: "When, you can't lose it." ”
Yu Qiao spread his palms and looked at the jade.
This is naturally an ancient jade, but the difference is that it has a very peculiar pattern on it, like a totem, and like a talisman.
She suddenly remembered that when Silverwivel Alley was in the past, the seal on those notes was such a pattern.
"Is this ancestral?" she asked. ”
He nodded, looking at her with bright and tender eyes: "This is the only thing I am valuable, the only thing that can be worthy of you." ”
Yu Qiao retracted his palm and held the jade tightly in his palm.
She suddenly understood that this jade represented an identity, to be precise, his identity. And his identity is far from being as simple as an orphan.
She had never thought about it, let alone inquired about him in depth. Or, his sentence of having no father, no mother, no relatives and no friends cut off anyone's in-depth investigation of him.
Yu Qiao moved, his eyes darkened.
He walked beside her, the cold air on his body melted, and his delicate facial features were full of elegance and softness.
The business of the second store is better than that of the first store.
Sheng Niangzi walked around from behind the counter, intending to kneel and bow to Yu Qiao, but Yu Qiao hurriedly held her arm.
Sheng Niangzi said crisply: "Miss, why have you come here for so long, there has never been a master like you, and you will leave the shop to someone to take care of yourself and ignore it." ”
Yu Qiao smiled: "I didn't come, naturally because I trusted you." ”
