Chapter 19: Suspicion
There are no more jewels on the second floor than on the first floor, but they are valuable and the texture looks very different from the ones on the first floor.
The shopkeeper opened a rosewood cabinet inlaid with gold and jade, and the shining jewels inside were very dazzling, and the golden light shone in the light outside the window.
"Look at it, Miss Three." He said earnestly.
The most important thing these little girls love is jewelry.
Li Mingyun glanced at it and shook his head: "These can't be done." ”
No way?
The shopkeeper was a little surprised, there were all fine jewels in it, and he wouldn't take it out to ordinary people.
Qiu Qing rushed to the side and said, "Be chic." ”
Chic?
The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and led them to another cabinet: "These are all those who have recently entered the shop, and I saw that they were good, so I took some of them." ”
On the cabinet are small boxes carved in various styles, made of fine wood.
The shopkeeper took down all the things on it and put them in front of Li Mingyun's eyes one by one.
These boxes contain various styles of jade, including flowers and trees, birds, insects and fish, and are the finest warm jade inlaid with sparkling pearls.
Li Mingyun frowned slightly and looked at it for a moment, and said to the shopkeeper: "Can you help me make a thing if I draw something?" It's not very troublesome either. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, as long as the third lady paints it, we can make it." ”
He instructed the shop guy to bring a pen and paper, and when Li Mingyun finished drawing, he took it over and saw that it was a very ordinary bluegrass style, and there was nothing special.
Li Mingyun pointed to the painting and said, "Carve this pattern with Hetian nephrite." She gestured with her hands, "It's so big." ”
"The box should be made of black wood, and this pattern ...... carved."
There are quite a lot of requirements, and the shopkeeper put the picture away and said with a smile: "Three days later, the little one will send someone to send things to the third lady's house." ”
Li Mingyun nodded in thanks.
Miss Li San spoke like this, and the shopkeeper felt warm in his heart because of this thanks, and he must do the best what Miss San wanted.
Li Mingyun went downstairs, and before he left the shop, he saw Qin Ruxin, dressed in red, and a woman in a goose yellow skirt walking in.
Qin Ruxin saw Li Mingyun "hum", but she didn't plan to say hello, but the woman next to her "huh" and called her.
"Is it Miss Li San?"
The woman had a gentle face and a soft speech, looking at Li Mingyun and smiling.
Li Mingyun stopped, and Chunyu behind him whispered, "Miss, it's the eldest lady of the Qi family." ”
Qi Ran, the eldest lady of the Qi family, is the eldest daughter of the Qi master of Gwangju Zhizhou, who grew up in the maternal grandparents of Fengzhou since she was a child, and only came to Gwangju a few years ago.
"Miss Qi."
Li Mingyun gave a peer salute.
Qi Ran immediately returned the salute, and Qin Ruxin on the side also reluctantly returned the salute.
"Did the third lady come here to buy jewelry?"
Qi Ran asked Li Mingyun with a smile.
Li Mingyun replied with a smile: "I'll come here to have a look." ”
Qin Ruxin looked at the two people who were looking at each other and smiling with heavy eyes, and couldn't help but shake their hands.
Her father had plans to let her marry the third young master of the Qi family, she had seen the third young master of the Qi family, and she was very satisfied with him in her heart, but the Qi family kept silent about the marriage of the third young master of the Qi family, so she decided to make friends with the eldest lady of the Qi family.
Otherwise, it would be enough to have Second Miss Qi, why would she bother to please this gentle and boring Miss Qi again.
But now she sees that the eldest lady likes Li Mingyun very much, and that doesn't seem to be very beneficial to her......
After Li Mingyun left, Qin Ruxin pretended to be casual and said, "Sister Ran, what do you think of Miss Li San?" I heard my cousin say that she is a tricky person, and just a few days ago, she bullied my cousin, so that she stayed in the yard and didn't dare to come out. ”
"Oh?" Qi Ran was a little puzzled, "Is that so?" I don't see it. ”
Qin Ruxin said: "Sister Ran, you don't know people but don't know your heart, you don't get along with her, so naturally you don't know what kind of person she is, but my cousin is a sister in the same house as her, and what she says will definitely not be wrong." ”
When Qi Ran heard this, she nodded and said, "Ruxin, you're right, I don't know her well, I don't know what she is." ”
Qin Ruxin breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and pulled Qi Ran to choose jewelry.
As long as Li Mingyun doesn't get in the way, she won't embarrass her for the time being, if Li Mingyun gets in her way, don't blame her for being polite!
……
……
Li Mingyun came out of the shop and didn't plan to return home immediately.
She asked Qiuqing and Chunyu to go back to the carriage to wait first, and took Xue Yan to a nearby Wenbao Zhai to choose pen, ink and writing paper.
She has an inkstone, which was specially brought by her father from Duanzhou, the inkstone in Duanzhou is the most famous, and the inkstone sent by her father is also of the highest quality.
The fragrance of ink in Wenbao Zhai is rich, the scrolls are hung on the walls, rows and rows of thin pens are placed on the hollow cabinets, and the papers are stacked high on the desks.
In front of the hall, there is a pair of ink treasures, which are elegant cursive "antique and fragrant".
The guy in the store didn't know Li Mingyun, but when he saw her picturesque eyebrows and eyes and felt her strong bookish temperament, he couldn't help but smile: "This young lady, what do you need?" ”
"I'll take a look first."
Li Mingyun replied and walked straight to the rows of stacked papers.
The guy smiled and replied, just wanted to follow her, and then saw the handsome guard behind her, and praised in his heart.
There is also a fairy guard by Miss Fairy's side, which is really extraordinary.
He ran towards Li Mingyun with a smile on his face and politely introduced her to the things in the store.
"Miss, this kind of paper is Chengxintang paper from Huizhou, thin and smooth......
"This rice paper is soft and ......"
"Ice wing paper is a very high-quality rice paper......"
Li Mingyun nodded with a smile and reached out to stroke the papers.
"Help me put it up."
She dropped this sentence and looked at the soft pen again, and after taking an eye-catching jianxiao, she looked at Xue Yan with a clear gaze.
She didn't bring any money, and the money was all on Chunyu, but she let Chunyu go back to the carriage.
Xue Guard's actions are fast, so it is most appropriate for him to take a trip.
"Xue Yan, you let Chunyu ...... the silver money"
Before he finished speaking, Xue Yan took out the money bag from his waist and gave the shop guy a silver ticket.
The man's eyes lit up, and his attitude became more and more warm and friendly, and he said that he would go and find the best box to put things in.
Li Mingyun was speechless for a while, and said in his heart that he would ask Chunyu to return the money to him later.
But......
A trace of doubt flashed in Li Mingyun's eyes.
The things she bought were not cheap, and Escort Xue looked very rich......
She glanced at his wooden face.
"The kid is coming......"
The words I heard at the door of the study last time suddenly flashed in Li Mingyun's mind.
The kid ...... Here it comes? The kid ...... Who is it?
Is this Xue Yan......
Last time, my father and Dr. Ouyang were talking about Xue Yan?
Xue Yan is not safe in Yiju, so he came to Gwangju? Is Xue Yan's arrival really his father's instructions? Arrangement?
So who is Master Jian in their mouths? Listening to his father's tone, it seemed that he and Dr. Ouyang were more familiar.
But Dr. Ouyang is from Suzhou and has nothing to do with Yizhou......
Li Mingyun was a little confused.
