Chapter 142: Adulteration
The guy chose his own jewelry from Diancui, and only followed lukewarmly. In addition to the golden plum blossom hairpin, Diancui also chose a carved flower and bird curly grass pattern gold and silver arm box, a pair of dripping green jade ear crotch, and a golden peony medicine to cover the sideburns.
"Miss, Xin'er clearly looks, when you pick these things, the guy doesn't see joy on his face, it's obviously painful, and there is still such a business, the more we buy, the more the store doesn't like it?"
In addition to Jin Yuxuan's gate, Xin'er couldn't help but lean closer to Dian Cui's ear and whispered.
"It's not just that guy, even the shopkeeper is abnormal." Winter snow is also the road.
"It's not normal, let's come back tomorrow." Dian Cui had an intuition in his heart, and there was something greasy in this.
Xin'er was a little afraid, but Dao Tomorrow will go with the young master.
It was clear that they had changed another enthusiastic gesture to the person who bought the jewelry, which made the master and servant three people couldn't help but suspect that their identities had been revealed, and after leaving Jin Yuxuan, they went around Hangzhou Mansion for a long time before returning to Angelica Pavilion.
saw that the young master Wu Yi'an had already returned, and there were still a bunch of dazzling head and face jewelry on the table.
"It turns out that my cousin also went to that Jin Yuxuan?" Diancui asked with a smile.
"What, you guys are also coming back from Jin Yuxuan?" Wu Yi'an also smiled: "What did the cousin find?" ”
Diancui shook his head, Dao originally wanted to take a look at it, but who expected that no matter whether the guys there or the shopkeepers were guarding themselves, they couldn't get a word out of their mouths at all.
"Where's my cousin?" Diancui asked.
Wu Yi'an's folding fan in his hand snapped out, how chic and chic his posture was, Diancui knew that he must have gained something.
"I didn't find anything wrong with that shop, it's just that the young man was a little overly enthusiastic when he showed me the head," Wu Yi'an said, "But a few of the girls who bought jewelry in the shop were of good color, and these head-face jewelry were also the silver they paid......"
Dian Cui and the maid behind couldn't help but be dumbfounded, but they heard him continue: "Of course, cousin, I am not such a random person who spends people's money, I have made an appointment with them to visit the West Lake tomorrow." ”
I bought back so much jewelry for nothing, and it was actually given by a girl.
"Sure enough, a good-looking person is born to do things easier than others......" Xin'er is the most outspoken among the few maids in Diancui.
"What do you know about this girl, how can other girls be so confused by their appearance, they are obviously impressed by the elegant gentleman's aura around me ...... young master," Wu Yi'an explained.
obviously eats the benefits of beauty, but he refuses to admit it, but he didn't expect his cousin to be so self-deceiving! Diancui secretly slandered himself, these sons and brothers are more weird than the other, and now it seems that he is still his eldest brother, and he is the most normal.
Seeing Diancui angrily picking up the pile of jewelry on the table, raising his feet and flying away, the corners of Wu Yi'an's mouth curled slightly.
Looking at the two piles of jewelry in front of the desk, one side was bought by himself, and the other side was brought back by his cousin, Diancui was a little stunned.
The style of these jewelry is somewhat common, more than half of the style is plagiarized from her Angelica Pavilion, although the production process is slightly inferior to the master of the Miaoshou Pavilion in the Beijing Homecoming Workshop, but compared to the income of the workshop in Hangzhou, it is not comparable.
The style is the same, the process is similar, Diancui took the plum blossom hairpin she chose, and took a closer look at the material, which is heavy and heavy, and it is undoubtedly red gold......
Could it be that his Golden Jade Pavilion risked a loss of thousands of taels a month, just to crush her Angelica Pavilion? This is obviously not like An Peiqing's style, if there is so much money for him to lose, he will not marry that vulgar Gui Chuyu, right.
"Miss, Li Qingshan asks to see you." The maid outside came to report.
"Li Qingshan has seen Miss." Li Qingshan came in.
"Brother Li is not more polite, so Lao Song can see that all the silver that is greedy for ink has been returned?" Diancui followed him and Du Xiaozhu closely to the old Song so that he would not run away.
Nearly 10,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and the silver owed to the gold, silver and jade raw material merchants has not been given, this is less than two days people have been urged three times, if it is not repaid, I am afraid that the future cooperation will not be broken, not to mention, but also to go to court.
"That old Song took out three thousand taels from the silver number, and the other seven thousand taels, saying that he was going to sell the land property house, and let the young lady have a few more days...... "If the field property and house are sold too quickly, the buyer will know that he is in a hurry to use the money, and he will deliberately lower the price, so the old Song will beg Du Xiaozhu and Li Qingshan to let them help to intercede with the young lady."
Li Qingshan handed over the silver ticket and put it on the case, but looked at the head jewelry on it with a puzzled expression.
"The money owed to the merchant of raw materials is five thousand taels, and he is told to make up the five thousand taels in three days, and the other five thousand taels can be graced to ten days." Diancui Road.
Li Qingshan said yes, but he didn't leave.
"Miss, can you take a look at the jewelry on this table?" Li Qingshan asked.
Li Qingshan was also the young owner of the Li family's silversmith shop before, and grew up in the jewelry pile, although he did not need to see the big jewelry workshop in the capital, but it should not be underestimated.
Seeing that his expression was different, Diancui immediately said: "Naturally, Brother Li, please see, these are all bought back by me and my cousin from Jin Yuxuan, can Brother Li see that there is anything wrong?" ”
Li Qingshan first walked to the few things that Diancui bought, picked them up and looked at them carefully, and then put them down one by one, and after looking at them, his expression was a little solemn, and he walked to another pile to take a look, but when he saw that his eyes lit up, he quickly picked it up and looked at it, and smiled.
"Brother Li, what can you see?" Dian Cui was also excited in his heart, and couldn't help but ask.
Li Qingshan nodded, there is no problem with the few things that Miss Dao bought, but these others are......
After hearing this, Diancui was immediately overjoyed, and gratefully instructed: "Dongxue, you go and tell the young master cousin, don't go on a cruise tomorrow, take the three thousand taels and the one thousand taels of silver tickets we brought with us to find those raw material dealers, try to persuade them to buy another quarter of gold, silver, jade, gems, pearls and other raw materials, and then go to the workshop to inform the steward there, the raw materials will come in a few days, let them also add to the work according to the previous spring and summer style drawings, and strive to make 500 pieces of new jewelry within ten days!" ”
"Brother Li, you have done a great job this time, and I will ask my mother for a reward when I go back. But for now, you have to go back and urge that old Song with Du Xiaozhu, the remaining five thousand taels mentioned earlier can't be graced for ten days for so long, so just give him five days. Don't forget to send these tickets back as soon as you get them! ”
"Yes, Miss!" Dongxue and Li Qingshan took the order and left.
Over there, Wu Yi'an listened to Dongxue's words, and came to find some cui with a sad face.
"Cousin, why are you in such a hurry that you can't even go to the lake for your brother and a beautiful woman?"
Dian Cui smiled like a fox: "Cousin, don't worry, if you can successfully persuade those raw material merchants to buy more goods tomorrow, after seeing the goods, cousin, I will personally rent the most gorgeous painting boat with you, and then someone will buy a table of lake fresh, for you and the beautiful woman to swim in the lake, how about it?" ”
"That's what you said!" Wu Yi'an didn't believe it, his cousin's flattering and obedient look reminded him that she had won the favor of returning home and the whole house and dragged the stupid pig-like Gui Chuyu from Gao Zhi'er......
"Cousin, just rest assured, Dian Cui has always been good at talking, but," Dian Cui said again: "I still need my cousin to play a play with those beauties." ”
"Acting?" knew that this cousin would not easily show favor to himself: "Cousin, I am not a drama on the stage, don't even think about acting, nonsense!" ”
Diancui couldn't smile bitterly, it was he who looked down on him all the way before, and now he is the one who avoids himself like a snake and scorpion, and she can't see what kind of person her cousin is who looks more beautiful than her.
had to tell him about Li Qingshan's discovery.
"This! Sure enough, it's greasy! It's actually a mix of real and fake heads, "Wu Yi'an's eyes were full of victory: "It turned out that there were things in the head, no wonder it could be sold at such a low price!" Aren't they afraid of being caught eating lawsuits? ”
Diancui shook his head and said, If Li Qingshan hadn't heard about it from his grandfather, even I wouldn't have been able to see it, let alone those ordinary people who went to buy noodles.
It turns out that the golden jade pavilion is actually mixed with the tantric monk in the hairpin China, the so-called tantric monk comes from the Persian country, I heard that it is the waste left after they forge silver and iron, this waste can be softened into various shapes when exposed to fire, if it is injected into the hairpin tube and cooled, it is convenient for the thin layer of gold and silver outside to fit together in good condition, from the outside it is not strange at all, even the weight is almost the same. In addition to the fact that tantric monks are rare in the Central Plains, this kind of skill is only recorded in a single book, and it is impossible for ordinary craftsmen to think of it.
But I don't know where Li Qingshan saw it, but he is not the little young master of the Li family who blushed in front of Dian Cui a few years ago.
"Did my cousin think of any good way to deal with that Jin Yuxuan?"
Diancui nodded, there was originally a straightforward way, that is, to report directly to the official, but that was far from enough, now is a good time for Miss Da Chunga and her wife to buy new hairpins, she wants to make good use of this time, act in a play, can't help but let everyone see with their own eyes what kind of pickled things he Jin Yuxuan sells, and let the business of Angelica Pavilion return to the prosperity it should have in the past.
Diancui told Wu Yi'an what he thought in detail, and Wu Yi'an couldn't help laughing after listening to it:
"Good! Cousin, if you read the book all the way, it was really not in vain, and you came up with such a good show, interesting! Interesting! Wu Yi'an couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that your teacher surnamed Yuan asked you to read some messy miscellaneous books every day, but now it comes in handy......
Hearing him say this about Yuan Zhiheng, Dian Cui was a little unhappy.
"What is a mess of miscellaneous books, every book he asked me to read has its own reason!" Diancui snorted.
"Okay, good, I don't believe he's a good person, every book he reads makes sense." I don't know why, as soon as Wu Yi'an mentioned Yuan Zhiheng, he jumped like a male peacock whose tail had been stepped on.
Before the word "naturally ......" was spoken, Diancui suddenly remembered the book of that day...... couldn't help but feel red like a red cloth, and his eyes were also a little embarrassed.
Wu Yi'an looked at her like this, and suddenly felt uncomfortable tightness in her heart, dropped her sleeves and hummed away, and did not forget to say when she left:
"Then the painting boat and the mat on the West Lake, don't play tricks when the time comes."
