Chapter 3 Encountering the Righteous Lord

However, in her previous life, her parents were busy with business all day and flew around the world for most of the year, and she lived with her grandparents. And her grandmother in her previous life, who was originally a celebrity, later married her grandfather, no longer appeared on stage, but instead worked behind the scenes, specializing in designing and producing costumes and jewelry, and doing costume guidance for the crew in her spare time.

Banniang has heard about it since she was a child, and later designed jewelry as an amateur, which can be regarded as a small success.

However, her family's family business is not jewelry, but a classical home furnishing industry, so Banniang did not have a deeper development in jewelry design in her previous life, and under the influence of her grandfather, she was more interested in classical furniture design.

My grandfather was a well-known archaeological expert in China, and because of the family business, he had a great study of classical furniture, and her family's collection of all kinds of Ming and Qing dynasty furniture all had high artistic value. Grandfather is a traditional knowledge person, to this only little granddaughter raised by his side, is also the best traditional cultural education, Banniang's previous life Zeng Yunshan grew up in such an environment, and grandfather in general, is very fascinated by Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture, plus her family was the largest classical furniture manufacturer in China, family business, almost universal in the world, although she studied business management and economics, and later held, is also the vice president of the family business, but her greatest achievement is in the field of furniture design.

Banniang thought about it and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

I don't know what happened to my grandfather and grandmother, who once pampered her as the jewel in their palms. And her parents, probably not too much sadness about her accidental death, right?

In their hearts, they may care more about the company, not to mention that she has two brothers and a sister, and she has one daughter missing. After all, although she was their biological daughter, she grew up with her grandparents, who never took her seriously.

"Banniang?" Seeing her looking at the shelves in a daze, Qi Niang gently squeezed her hand.

Banniang came back to her senses, smiled at Qi Niang, put away her thoughts, and Qi Niang together, carefully looked at the various ornaments on the shelves for a while, and suddenly had confidence in her heart, and was about to greet the woman in the store just now, when she saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with strong eyebrows and eyes, and a beautiful girl entered the shop.

Banniang and Qiniang were very amazed, and couldn't help but secretly look at the girl a few times.

When Lu Niangzi saw it, who was Wu Sanniang, who was not her main family? hurriedly greeted him, and said happily: "Sanniang, why are you here?" ”

The face of the so-called Sanniang was not half happy, and said to the woman: "Lu Niangzi, I am worried in my heart, so come and go around, you just greet the guests, I will sit for a while and leave." ”

As he spoke, he walked straight to the chair that was placed on the east wall of the house.

Having said that, Lu Niangzi still followed, made tea for her with her own hands, and when she was about to speak, when she looked up, she saw that the two little ladies who had just entered the house were looking at them, and knew that it was not the time to speak, so she got up and smiled at the two of them: "Do the two little ladies have a fancy?" ”

Qi Niang looked at Ba Niang.

Banniang showed her signature smile at this Lu Niangzi, and her eyes instantly bent into a crescent moon, which was indescribably cute.

"This lady, although the jewelry in your shop is very exquisite, but my sister and I have not picked the right one, it is too valuable, we can't afford it, but it is a little more ordinary, and ...... I just heard you say that the shop can be customized, we want to order a set, but I don't know how to charge this fee? If the price is too high, my sister and I don't have much money, I'm afraid we can't afford it, if the lady is free, can you introduce us to one or two? ”

Lu Niangzi saw that she was well-behaved and cute, smiled before speaking, and had a good impression in her heart, and her words were smooth and sincere, not only said her own difficulties, but also did not make people feel abrupt, although she was anxious to talk to Wu Sanniang, but she also said patiently and kindly: "Naturally, you can draw a good style, or redo old jewelry, we only accept handmade money, but the specific number of hands, it also depends on the sample, general, about five hundred Wen to consistent, if it is more complicated, it is not easy to say, you have to see the pattern, it is good to price." If you only provide the pattern, and we will produce the gold, silver and jade ornaments, we will have to calculate the price. I don't know if the two little ladies are renovated with old decorations, or? ”

Banniang glanced at Qi Niang, and Qi Niang smiled a little embarrassedly: "We want to renovate old jewelry." There are also patterns, if the shopkeeper is free, help us take a look, quote a price, and we can decide. ”

As she spoke, she took out the golden hairpin from the brocade naan, and motioned for Banniang to take out the pattern she was carrying in her arms.

Lu Niangzi first took the golden hairpin, and at a glance, she was also amazed, this tiger golden hairpin is not only sufficient, but also extremely delicate in workmanship, although it is old, dark and dull, but it is also known that it is not an extraordinary product, I can't help but be a little curious, the corner of my eyes looked at the two sisters' clothing, they are very ordinary, half-old silk clothes, no ornaments on the body, probably because I want to fold the gold hairpin, the reason for playing two more heads.

opened the pattern of Banniang Feng again, but when he saw it, he was stunned.

She is accustomed to seeing all kinds of jewelry, and she can't help but admire the delicate and gorgeous hairpin in the picture. didn't bother talking to the sisters for a while, so he only brought the pattern to Wu Sanniang and said, "Sanniang, look at it, this ......"

Wu Sanniang didn't mind at first, but after glancing at it, she couldn't twist her eyes anymore, and praised it for a while, Fang Xiang Qi Niang was slightly blessed, and said with a smile: "I am the owner of this shop, surnamed Wu, the little lady called me Wu Sanniang is, this little lady, you hairpin jewelry, but it is popular in Beijing?" ”

Qi Niang shook her head and replied with a smile: "No, we live in a small city, where have we ever been to the capital?" This pattern is my eighth sister who has nothing to do to draw and play, and it just so happens that my mother wants to exchange this gold hairpin for a few pieces of jewelry today, so my sister and I came to ask in the shop. ”

Wu Sanniang saw that Qi Niang was not very old, but she was thirteen or fourteen years old, I don't know who the eighth sister in her mouth was, could it be the childish little girl in front of her? Wu Sanniang shook her head and asked with a smile: "This jewelry seems simple, but if you really want to make it, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is very troublesome, and ordinary craftsmen can't do it, so you have to make it by the master in our shop, so I am afraid that the cost of this work will be higher." I think that the tiger gold hairpin you brought is also six or seven taels, which is enough to make a pair of heads on your pattern, as for the cost," Wu Sanniang said with a deep sigh, "I really love this style of heads, give you a discount, how about five dollars?" ”

Seeing Qi Niang's embarrassed look, Wu Sanniang hurriedly said, "Little lady, do you think the price is too high?" Little lady rest assured, I am the owner of this shop, the price for you is really low, if it is not for this novel and chic, I also want to see how beautiful the real thing is, and will not allow the price of five times, if it is charged according to the normal cost, I am afraid that it will not be less than ten dollars. ”

Qi Niang didn't understand this, and she didn't know whether Wu Sanniang was telling the truth or a lie, the embarrassment on her face was just because she couldn't get five pieces of money, and in fact she didn't plan to really make this jewelry, Wu Sanniang said this, and she didn't know how to reply, so she looked at Banniang.

Banniang smiled and said: "Thank you for this sister's understanding, but we are also reckless, I don't know how to change the ornament, it still costs so much, our family is poor, this jewelry is also my mother's dowry, if it is not for some reason I need to add makeup to my sister at home, I will not use it to remake." Although I know that my sister is really undercharged, but we really can't come up with this five dollars," Speaking of this, his face was full of apologies, and he blessed Wu Sanniang Yingying, "It's time to delay my sister, let's go back and ask my mother again to see if it is a simpler style, which can cost less, and then come to your shop." ”

After speaking, he stared at the pattern in Wu Sanniang's hand.

Wu Sanniang knew that she was going to take back the pattern, and she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. I wanted to hand it back into someone's hands, but I was reluctant, and I was a little hesitant for a while.

Banniang knew that there was a play, so she stared at Wu Sanniang with a pair of innocent and innocent eyes, and said, "This sister? We still have to hurry home to talk back to our mother, maybe my mother is willing to change the pair with less cost, and we will still do my sister's business, so we won't delay my sister's time at this time. ”

His face was full of regret.

When Wu Sanniang heard this, her heart moved, and she said: "If it is simple, you can also come to my shop, and I will give you a preferential price at that time, but if it is simple, don't you need this pattern?" ”

Banniang smiled: "Yes, I finally painted it, but unfortunately my family is poor, but I can't use it." ”

"Then ......" Wu Sanniang thought for a while and discussed, "If you don't use it, this pattern will be wasted, why don't you give this pattern to me?" When you go home and discuss with your mother, if you come to make a dough, I will give you a free face, what do you think? ”

Banniang immediately smiled in surprise: "Is what my sister said true?" ”

"It's nature." Wu Sanniang saw that she was willing, and she was busy and replied.

Banniang sneered in her heart, and wanted to use a free one to send herself away, so she changed this pattern? If they make a simple style, they don't have to do anything, and they can even exchange the ready-made jewelry in the shop, and exchange ordinary jewelry for such a beautiful tiger hairpin, not only did not lose money, but also took advantage of it, and also earned a picture of themselves. This Wu Sanniang is really good at settling accounts.

These patterns can be seen in the jewelry drawings collected by her grandmother in her previous life, and later she became interested in jewelry design, and specially studied them from her grandmother, speaking of which, these patterns are the accessories of the thirteen hairpins in the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions", which are exquisite and unique.

sneered in his heart, but his face showed a sad and apologetic look: "It's rare for my sister to like it, and it's my honor, it's not that I'm stingy, but this is really my special painting for my sister's marriage, it took a lot of thought, although I can't do it now, but it's my mind, if it's other paintings, my painting is not good, sister, you like it, send it to you, but this, but can't send it, although I don't do jewelry, it's good to give this pattern to my sister, maybe she can play a pair of them in the future, and I do my best." I'm sorry for you. If my mother agrees to make more ordinary jewelry, we will definitely come to your shop, okay? ”

Wu Sanniang saw that she was unwilling, and thought that her family was poor, and her sister was going to get married, it was when she needed money, if she spent money to buy this pattern, they would be willing, thinking like this, the smile on her face became softer and softer, and said: "The little lady's heart for your sister is really enviable." Why don't you think that's good? I really like this pattern you draw, I said something inappropriate, you are also in need of money now, why don't you sell this pattern to me, and the money you get, you can buy other gifts for your sister to add makeup, isn't it better than giving a pattern? ”

"This ......" Banniang looked at the drawing paper held tightly in her hand by Wu Sanniang, revealing an expression of both heartbeat and reluctance, and turned her head to look at Qi Niang.
