Chapter 129: Everyone was shocked

Mrs. Qiao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came out of the Baotai Silver Building, and Grandma Chen hesitated and asked Mrs. Qiao: "If there is only one large piece of jewelry, what can I do over there in Chengjun Wangfu?" If the county lord of Zhirong knew about such rare jewelry, we didn't let her go first, but quietly bought it ourselves, and the county lord might be annoyed with his daughter-in-law. ”

As long as the county lord doesn't send her posts twice, I'm afraid that she will be marginalized.

Mrs. Qiao patted her arm and said with a smile: "Let's go this time, I'm afraid that the matter will not be true, so let's explore the way first." Looking at the shopkeeper's look, there are more than one or two pieces of jewelry in Baotai Silver Building. Didn't you hear those two girls say that Yinlou received a big bag of glass gems? I think the shopkeeper still hid something from us. You send a letter to the county lord, and the county lord has asked Baotai Yinlou to spit out the truth. ”

This trip, Mrs. Qiao is very satisfied, her daughter-in-law here must be talented and talented, and she must be thoughtful, she is really the right marriage.

…………

However, in three days, Baotai Yinlou came to nine guests with a lot of money and power one after another, and they all came for the glass jewelry.

The shopkeeper was so anxious that his mouth was full of bubbles, and he reported to the owner twice a day.

But the matter has come to this, and the owner is not in a rut.

He sent someone to find out how the news leaked out, but to no avail.

Except for these female dependents, outsiders don't know that Baotai Yinlou has bought a lot of glazed gemstones.

The shopkeeper vaguely inquired about the nine distinguished customers and inquired about two channels.

First, Grandma Chen was at the banquet in the Hou Mansion and listened to the two little girls chatting casually.

Another channel comes from the wife of a large grain merchant, when this lady went to the silver building to choose jewelry, she passed by a carriage, and the carriage was talking about the glass jewelry of Baotai Silver Building.

This lady has a good ear, and she has only heard a limited number of them, and if others know about it first, it will really be gone. No, she didn't dare to tell anyone, so she rushed here.

After some investigation, it should be someone in his shop who accidentally leaked the news, was heard by Grandma Chen, and then it was out of control and spread.

Things have reached this point, and no customer can afford to offend, and it is impossible to flow for a long time.

After some discussion, the shopkeeper and the owner decided to increase the price of jewelry by 30% on the original basis.

Since I can't pick up the sign on the first floor, I don't ask for anything else. A business can earn more than 100,000 taels of silver, which is also a good deal.

Alas, let's talk about it.

In the middle of December, all the craftsmen of the Baotai Silver Building worked hard to complete all 24 pieces of jewelry.

Baotai Silver House sent letters to nine booked customers, made an appointment, and invited a few to come and choose.

At this time, there is no such thing as first-come-first-come-first-served, naturally it is the first choice of people with noble status, and those with similar official positions and status can only talk about it, and they dare to say that they will come first.

Not to mention how shocked and loved the noblewoman and the maid when they saw the jewelry, this selection was also very kind.

The jewelry is all fine, and after some selection, only eight small pieces of jewelry were left for Baotai Yinlou, and the rest were all wrapped, equipped with sandalwood boxes, and handed over to the ladies.

Baotai Yinlou recorded 310,000 taels of silver, excluding the cost of work, and made a net profit of 110,000 yuan, as well as eight small jewelry such as finger rings, forehead ornaments, and hairpins.

At the same time, in order to seize the opportunity, Baotai Silver House also produced a number of gold and silver jewelry of the same style as glass jewelry, as well as inlaid with jade, coral, gemstones, and other objects such as glass rings, which were launched in the store at the same time.

…………

On the day when the new style jewelry of Baotai Silver Building occupied the most conspicuous position in the store and attracted the female relatives who entered the store, Ning Guogong held his mother's 60th birthday.

Glass jewelry was unveiled for the first time at a banquet in the capital.

The first person to bring a large piece of jewelry to the show was the lord of Shaohua.

On this day, the lord of Shaohua County combed a peony bun, and a golden hollow glazed phoenix hairpin was worn on the fluffy bun, reflecting countless brilliant golden rays in the sun.

The golden wings at both ends of the phoenix hairpin stretch to both sides, and the broken gold glittering glass is dotted on the feather wing lines. Three diamond-encrusted tail feathers are beautifully extended and attached to the bun. At the end of each tail feather is a dark golden heart-shaped glass piece, surrounded by broken gold, which contrasts with each other.

From the Shaohua County Lord got off the carriage at the second gate, under the winter sun, the flickering light of the luxurious phoenix hairpin attracted everyone's amazing attention.

With a purple embroidered gold peony dress of the lord of Shaohua, it looks graceful and noble, and extremely luxurious.

This time, at the banquet full of guests and friends in the Ningguo Mansion, the county lord of Shaohua finally took the lead, attracting everyone's envious, jealous, or self-ashamed eyes.

Because this is the first opportunity to display glass jewelry, several county lords and county lords are present during the banquet, and others probably dare not steal the limelight. Therefore, in addition to the county lord of Shaohua, only the county lord of Jinghua and the county lord of Zhirong brought two hairpins and a ring respectively.

In particular, the two glazed hairpins in the main hair room of Zhirong County, in the original clothing and accessories, flashed a little bit of crystal, there is a kind of low-key luxury, and it is also very eye-catching.

After the ladies sat down in the living room of the Ningguo Mansion, congratulated the main family on the birthday banquet and the old birthday star, and welcomed the guests to enjoy the light, the topic was fixed on the glass jewelry.

After some praise and admiration, Mrs. Zhang from the Langzhong Mansion of the Ministry of Industry asked Mrs. Jiang beside her in a low voice: "I heard that the kiln factory run by your daughter has a glass-firing workshop in it. I don't know the glazed gems of Baotai Silver Building, but it is from the hands of your aunt and grandmother? ”

Mrs. Jiang is not up or down among the guests of the Ningguo Mansion, and she belongs to the kind of guests who are not eye-catching and more comfortable.

But when Mrs. Zhang asked like this, although her voice was low, the two female relatives around them heard it, and they all cast inexplicable glances, and there were emotions of surprise, doubt, and disbelief in them.

"Yanqing is a person who can't be idle, so she can only mess around." Mrs. Jiang said vaguely.

The eyes of the two ladies beside her flashed: Mrs. Jiang actually didn't deny it, could there really be such a thing?

There are people who ask and people who have doubts, and there are people who answer questions on the other side.

The county lord of Jinghua sat next to the old lady of the Guogong Mansion, listened to the discussions and questions that gradually spread, and said with a smile: "In this matter, I really asked the shopkeeper of Baotai Yinlou, and the glazed gems are indeed from Qingyun Zhai." ”

The county lord of Zhirong sat beside her and smiled silently, and the two glazed hairpins hidden in the golden hairpin flickered, making people can't help but chase the flickering golden mang.

There are so many glasses suddenly popping up in the capital, with the mind of the county lord of Zhirong, how can it be possible not to ask?

The county lord of Jinghua, who went with her, only mentioned it briefly, and the treasurer of Baotai Yinlou told him the ins and outs of the glass jewelry.

When the county lord of Shaohua heard that the gems came from Xia Yanqing's business, his face froze for a moment. Then I thought that no matter how rare the glass is, the person who makes the glass is also a cheap/billet who serves people.

Thinking of this, her complexion returned to normal, and her expression turned even more noble.

However, everyone in the hall was surprised and inexplicable, and low inquiries and discussions had filled the living room, all surprised, envious and incredulous.

As soon as the lord of Shaohua appeared today, the dazzling light of the glazed phoenix hairpin has already demonstrated the extraordinaryness of the jewelry.

Although the county lord of Jinghua and the county lord of Zhirong only wore small rings and hairpins, it was still difficult to hide the brilliance of the glass in the rich and noble jewelry of the two of them.

As you can imagine, these pieces of jewelry are worth a lot.

The Xia family and the divorced daughter actually have such strange goods in their hands, just this business, how much does it have to be earned?

Mrs. Jiang had never received such attention, although she sat among several ladies, she received more eyes than the old lady and several county lords and county lords in the seat.

On the other side, the woman sitting next to Yang and Gao was younger, and was already asking when her sister-in-law had learned such a powerful skill.

Mrs. Liu and Yuan, who were sitting not far from Mrs. Jiang, were sitting on pins and needles, and someone couldn't help but glance at the two of them, and the meaning was self-evident.

A middle-aged woman who was familiar with Mrs. Liu couldn't help but ask, "The daughter of the Xia family hasn't been away from you for a long time, didn't you know that she had such skills at that time?" ”
