Chapter 359: Have You Seen My Earrings?
In fact, Ye Wenyan didn't have this plan today, she didn't even expect the jewelry shop to come, it was completely because she saw Jiang Wanting and Chi Feifei here, so she temporarily walked in.
At this time, Li Yanran had already left in a gloomy manner, and the people downstairs were also dispersed, so she asked the two people around her: "Are you familiar with this jewelry pavilion?" Are there good craftsmen here? ”
Jiang Wanting said: "There are good craftsmen among craftsmen, but they are definitely incomparable with craftsmen in the palace, and the main thing is that the materials are average." Wen Yan told the truth, Li Yanran was right just now, it was okay to send things outside to the sisters, but it was a bit shabby to send the queen mother. ”
Chi Feifei also said: "If you really want to send something, it's better to find the materials yourself, anyway, the pattern is also your own, and the materials are more elegant, and the finished product should be no problem." ”
Ye Wenyan is really thinking about this pattern with his heart, today's event is a temporary idea, so there is no preparation at all, but it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult to come up with one or two patterns, after all, I have seen so many jewelry in my previous life, and it is not difficult to draw one or two with a beautiful one. And the pattern of the later generations is nowhere to be found in this era except through her hands, and it is definitely worthy of anyone.
Ye Wenyan went up to the third floor, and the shopkeeper of the jewelry pavilion personally accompanied him, and also wrapped up the pairs of earrings that Jiang Wanting and the others had seen before, saying that it was because the fourth lady chose their pavilion to make jewelry for the queen mother, and these were given away for free.
Ye Wenyan didn't agree, and insisted on letting Jiang Wanting pay the money. The shopkeeper couldn't push it off, so he had to take it.
Chi Feifei laughed at the shopkeeper when he saw it, "Do you think that you can produce a few treasures for the Queen Mother in your shop, and your reputation will be even louder in the future, so you will give three pairs of earrings as a thank you gift." This calculation is good, but you don't weigh it, what is the weight of the Queen Mother, you will come with three pairs of earrings, isn't this a curse! Let's not be fooled by you, one yard is one yard, the earrings should be more money, and in the future, you should not open your mouth and close your mouth to tell people about this everywhere. ”
Jiang Wanting sighed, "Actually, if he doesn't say it, this reputation has already started, after all, so many people watched it just now, and no one's mouth can be closed." It can only be said that the owner of this jewelry pavilion has really picked up a big bargain, and this kind of good thing can be encountered. ”
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "I've already called someone to invite the owner over, and it's almost here." ”
As he spoke, footsteps came from downstairs. Ye Wenyan listened attentively and heard that it was two people going upstairs at the same time, one of them was a little fat, and the other should be very thin, but both were men.
She guessed correctly, one of the people who came was the owner of this jewelry pavilion, who was chubby, in his thirties, but quite kind.
He went up to the third floor and stared at Ye Wenyan at a glance, and hurriedly came over to salute, but it was a big gift, and he knelt directly to Ye Wenyan.
This person's movements are so fast, Ye Wenyan didn't have time to help, and the person had already banged his head three times. When I raised my head again, my forehead was red, but I smiled happily - "Today I finally have the opportunity to kowtow to Miss Fourth in front of Miss Four, I feel so comfortable." I have kowtowed to the Yipin General's Mansion before, but after all, it is separated by a layer, so it is better to kowtow in person. ”
The merchants in the inner city are not ordinary merchants, but officials. This jewelry pavilion is the only one in the inner city, it can be said that it is a monopoly, and the people who can do it must be not small.
Ye Wenyan looked at him for a while, and then asked, "But who was injured in the family when the earth dragon turned over, and he was cured with my pill?" She said as she reached out and gave her a hand, "Sir, get up." ”
The fat owner was not hypocritical, stood up neatly, and then replied to the words of the night Wenyan: "It's the mother." It's also a coincidence, when the earth dragon turned over, it was actually fine, only a few people were slightly injured, it didn't matter. But after more than an hour, another wall suddenly fell down, and my mother walked to the bottom of the wall, and by chance she was smashed underneath. I was so scared that when I rushed over, everyone was going to run out of gas, so I immediately went to the Li Family Medical Center to find a doctor. It just so happened that the young man said that the fourth lady of the Yipin General's Mansion had just left and left a pill, so he gave me one, and it was by relying on that pill that he snatched my mother's life back. ”
This person should be a filial son, and when he said this, he wiped his face, "So, Fourth Miss, you are the great benefactor of our family, and I must kowtow to you in person." ”
Ye Wenyan nodded, but didn't say anything in particular. Because in the matter of the earth dragon turning over, there are too many things like this. But she has a good impression of this fat owner, and people who can know gratitude are not too bad.
Chi Feifei sat on the side and watched for a while, and couldn't help but whisper to Ye Wenyan: "This owner's surname is Lin, and he is the younger brother of Mrs. Right Minister, and his mother is also the mother-in-law of Lord Right Minister. ”
Ye Wenyan immediately remembered that Lord Youxiang, obviously she was not familiar with her, and she had not had too deep contact with the General's Mansion, but she took the initiative to stand up when Dilong turned over and rebuilt the inner city, and gave her and the new emperor the most practical help.
She has always been very grateful to the right minister, but she didn't know that there was such a relationship. This is probably the best example of great kindness without saying thanks, but expressing it with practical actions!
She smiled, "The right minister has already helped me, and we have paid it back." ”
"That's different." Lin Dongjia waved his hand, "Brother-in-law is brother-in-law, I am me." No matter how my brother-in-law returns, as a son, this head will definitely come to knock. "He spoke firmly, but he didn't grind, he thanked him for his kindness, kowtowed his head when he should kowtow, and even if he revealed it in his heart, he quickly turned the topic back." Miss Four can come to my door today, but also my shop is an honor, I heard that Miss Four wants to make jewelry to give to the Queen Mother, I brought the best craftsman in the family, Miss Four, you have any requirements, you can rest assured, his craftsmanship is no worse than the craftsman in the palace. ”
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Wanting smiled, "Lin Dongjia, you have such a good craftsman in your hands, why didn't you send it to the pavilion before?" ”
Lin Dongjia smiled, "Because he was injured many years ago, he has long stopped playing jewelry." Now he lives in our house, and he is Mr. Keqing, and he talks to me and plays chess on weekdays. It's not ...... Did you catch up? ”
It's really caught up! Ye Wenyan looked at the craftsman, who was an old man, who looked to be in his fifties. The man was very thin, with many folds in his skin, and his hair was completely white, and even his back was rickety.
Since the longevity of human beings on this continent is imprisoned, the closer a person is to the age of sixty, the faster the physical changes will be. Maybe fifty-five years old doesn't feel like much, but once fifty-five is over, people will accelerate aging, and generally when they reach fifty-eight or nine, they are no different from seventy or eighty people.
Looking at the appearance of this craftsman, Shouyuan is less than two years at most, and Ye Wenyan's heart is full of sadness.
She wanted to find clues to Shou Yuan's imprisonment, but she never had a clue. It's not that she doesn't look for it, it's that she doesn't know where to start. Do you want to look for it in Beijing, or in other provinces, or simply in other countries? All the questions have not been answered, Shi Liyuan has been thinking about this for more than 400 years and has not figured it out, how can she make a breakthrough in just a few months?
Xu saw the sadness in Ye Wenyan's eyes, and the old man took the initiative to open his mouth, and said to her in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Fourth Miss doesn't have to feel desolate for my Shouyuan, everyone will have such a day, just look away." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand, and it was discovered that the man's left hand had three fingers broken, and only his thumb and index finger remained.
Jiang Wanting immediately remembered who he was: "Ying Qiaojiang, right?" She asked the man, "You are Ying Peng, a craftsman in the palace, who came out of the palace after breaking three fingers when hammering gold last year." She said while thinking, "I also heard about the matter, and I don't know very well, it seems that you hammered gold to make a bead flower for the queen mother at that time, but the hand was broken, and the bead flower was not made." It is said that the bead flower has not been completed until now, and the queen has become the queen mother, and no one can beat the bead flower. ”
The old man laughed dryly twice when he heard this, "I'm ashamed, it's the old decay." After speaking, he looked at Ye Wenyan again, "Although the old man has broken three fingers, he is not completely wasted in his craft." If Miss Four can trust me, I am willing to give Miss Four a try. After he finished speaking, he stared at Ye Wenyan's ears for a while, and then said, "Fourth Miss's earrings...... The old decay has seen it. ”
Ye Wenyan didn't put on the stubble of the earring, but said: "I naturally trust Mr. craftsmanship, that is, the things I want to make are more special, and we need to talk about it carefully." She patted Jiang Wanting and Chi Feifei, "I haven't eaten at noon, I'm hungry at this time, and I must have a good meal at night." If you two are not in a hurry, just wait for me here for a while, and when I finish talking to Mr. Ying, let's go to Baipinxiang to eat delicious food in the evening. If you have something to do at home, go back first, and we'll make an appointment another day. ”
The two said that there was nothing to do at home, and they must get her meal today.
Ye Wenyan got up and said to Lin Dongjia: "Dongjia, borrow your three-story small room for use." ”
There are several small rooms on the third floor of the jewelry pavilion, which are specially prepared for the nobles who come to the third floor to choose jewelry. If there are many people, they can occupy a small room and not disturb each other.
Today, because Ye Wenyan went up to the third floor, and released the words to pick something for the Queen Mother, naturally no one dared to come up again to find bad luck, and even the people who were already on the third floor retreated with interest. So the small room was useless at this time, so she just picked the innermost one.
The only person who went in with him was Ying Qiaojiang, and even the pendant was left outside the door.
Ye Wenyan sat down first, and then motioned for the craftsman to sit opposite him, and then carefully examined the old gentleman.
After a while, she took the initiative to speak again, and actually asked: "Where did Mr. see my earrings?" ”
