Chapter 381: Modern Sketches
Although this gale failed to attract the four concubines, there were still many concubines who came to her. It's just that Tang Yining in the back found that it was not that he didn't attract the fourth concubine, but that the fourth concubine was more reserved.
Unlike other concubines and concubines who came to her, not long after, Concubine Xian actually came to her alone Tang Yining to customize jewelry, and also brought several rolls of design drawings of beads and hairpins.
"Princess Xiaojun, this palace is for the sake of you making jewelry, come and ask you to do a small favor to this palace." After speaking, Concubine Xian gave the palace maid next to her a look.
The palace maid on the side stepped forward and handed the drawings that had been prepared a long time ago to Tang Yining with both hands. After Xiao Cui on the side glanced at her own lady, she hurriedly took over the drawings and unfolded them for her own lady, so that her own miss could take a look.
Tang Yining really looked at it seriously, and then asked with some surprise: "Concubine Xian, how can you have these design drawings for making jewelry?" β
The reason that made Tang Yining very surprised was that the drawings given by Concubine Xian turned out to be modern sketch static drawings, could it be that Concubine Xian was the same as her? Someone who has crossed over from the modern age? But......
Probably impossible, right? It's very small, okay? Could it be that crossing has become the daily life of most people? Isn't that a mess?
Concubine Xian didn't know that Tang Yining was surprised by the way she drew the drawings, and thought that Tang Yining was surprised that she gave the drawings, so she said directly: "These drawings were obtained from several palace maids in this palace. Speaking of which, the palace doesn't know how those palace maids got these drawings in your hands, it seems that these drawings are from the hands of the princess of Xiaojun? Since this is yours, the main palace will be returned to its original owner. β
At the beginning, Concubine Xian also accidentally saw that the jewelry on this drawing was so lifelike, if she didn't know that these things were drawn on paper, maybe Concubine Xian would have thought it was real.
Tang Yining knew that Concubine Xian had misunderstood, but for a while she didn't know how to explain what she was surprised about, so fortunately she didn't explain too much. Misunderstanding is misunderstanding, the left and right drawings are in her hands.
"Then the concubine will thank you first!" As he spoke, Tang Yining stood up and saluted.
If one day, the real owner of the design appears, there will be an answer. Tang Yining simply didn't think about it anymore, and after thanking Concubine Xian, he handed the drawings to Xiao Cui, and whispered to Xiao Cui that he must put them away properly and keep them, so as not to have an accident with the drawings.
Now that you have the drawings of the jewelry, it is easy to turn the jewelry in the drawings into a finished product. Although it is okay to see if there will be any problems in the process, if not, then it will be directly handed over to some skilled people to do it, around, for a piece of jewelry, the core is not the production technology, but the design.
"The concubine has another question, may I ask Concubine Xian."
"Oh? Princess Xiaojun, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, there is no need to go around in circles here with this palace, this palace doesn't like it. Concubine Xian picked up the teacup and said as if she was the master of the place.
Tang Yining was choked by Concubine Xian, pursed her lips, but she didn't care too much, and asked directly: "May I ask Concubine Xian, these pictures are handed over to the concubine."
How much do you need to make for the ornaments on the paper? β
If it was someone else, Tang Yining wouldn't ask. But even the drawings were randomly obtained from a certain palace maid, and maybe this virtuous concubine didn't care much about these jewelry. It was because of this that Tang Yining specially asked such a question.
Concubine Xian smiled slightly, and hooked the two shallow pear sockets on her lips: "Well, let's have twenty sticks each for the time being." Actually, she doesn't mind buying a finished product directly. It's just that if you want to buy the finished product, maybe you have to wait, and then you have to pick and choose something, which is too cumbersome.
Left and right have inadvertently gotten this design drawing, and she still thinks it's good after reading it, so she made a mistake and used it. Anyway, it's okay to wait until it's overtime.
Sitting in her position, she needs a lot of rewards every day, and I always feel that she may soon find this Tang Yining to make some jewelry or something. Anyway, it's all about making jewelry, and it's not for anyone to do it, so why not give the queen mother and the emperor a face.
Tang Yining bowed: "Okay, may I ask Concubine Xian, do you have a time frame for this batch of jewelry?" Before what time do you want it? β
But she secretly thought in her heart, Concubine Xian Niangniang is really sympathetic to her subordinates, and her personal maids seem to be about 20 people in total, right? Maybe it's for these people.
Tut-tut! The concubine is rich, and this person has a piece, but how much silver taels will it cost.
Although Concubine Xian is the head of the four concubines, and her personal income is higher than that of other subordinate concubines, such a reward method is really too good for her subordinates.
Tang Yining rolled up the drawings and secretly thought to herself that this virtuous concubine was so good at being a person, and she might also be a friend to make.
"Princess Xiaojun, remember to send these jewels to the palace before the fifteenth day of this month." Concubine Xian said, then asked her servant to bring a large plate of gold ingots, pointed to the money and silver on the tray and said, "This is a deposit, you can take it." β
Tang Yining was not polite to Concubine Xian, and directly let Xiaocui accept it. She is a legitimate businessman, and it is impossible to open the door to do business without collecting money. The Queen Mother and the Emperor are both her ambassadors!
"Okay, the concubine has written down this matter, and please rest assured that the concubine will definitely send twenty golden hairpins to your hands before the deadline."
Concubine Xian saw that the goal had been achieved, and there was nothing left and right, so she didn't stay too long, and it didn't take long for her to leave directly.
After Xiaocui saw that everyone was walking in the courtyard, she said a little anxiously: "Miss, twenty branches, there are a lot of them." It's too short a time to get to that deadline. Miss, why don't you buy a little more time? In case ......"
"Alright, Emily. Since I dare to agree, it must be because I can do it. Don't worry! Tang Yining lightly reassured.
Actually, Xiaocui is really a layman, so I don't know. You know, to make jewelry, the same drawing, one is not much different from making twenty, after all, the process is the same, but there are more of them.
In addition to the appreciation of the queen mother and the emperor, and then there are many concubines and concubines, including a virtuous concubine with a lot of weight.
For a while, Tang Yining's jewelry business was gradual
It's officially on the right track!
And those stores, because the business suddenly improved so much, the manpower couldn't keep up, so Xiaoju couldn't find a reliable guy for a while. In order to solve this problem, Tang Yining used the subordinates of Prince Gong's mansion.
You must know that although she is only a princess of Prince Gong's mansion now, she will become Prince Gong sooner or later. Some people in the left and right houses are idle, so why don't you get up?
But she doesn't have the power to mobilize more subordinates, even if she has the blessing of Prince Gong's mansion, she is still very sure. Therefore, Tang Yining had to think of a way to recruit some guys in the people, otherwise Xiaoju would not be busy, and she would suffer.
You know, her goal is to be a hands-off shopkeeper so that she can research new jewelry. Expanding popularity is just to increase sales, and then promote the development of the store!
Tang Yining's development was not taken into account by Zhao Yuning, after all, no matter how beautiful she was, she was just a vulgar businessman who showed her face. What if the queen mother and the emperor appreciate it? Xie Tianrui will soon give her a leave of absence, and then she Tang Yining will be the biggest laughing stock in the whole capital.
Even after the last incident, Zhao Yuning still didn't know that Xie Tianrui was deliberate, and thought that Xie Tianrui still had the handle in her hands. And because Taifu didn't tell Zhao Yuning what he did, under Xie Tianrui's deliberateness, she and Xie Tianrui got closer.
In addition to coming to Prince Gong's Mansion all day long to find Xie Tianrui, she also invited Xie Tianrui to enjoy the flowers together, swim with his arms, row a boat to watch the lights, and feast and drink.
"Brother Tianrui, can you put lanterns with me?"
Zhao Yuning held a pink lotus lantern and handed it to Xie Tianrui as if offering a treasure.
Xie Tianrui originally wanted to refuse, like these things, he would only want to do them with Tang Yining, but for Zhao Yuning, he didn't have any such leisure at all.
Originally, he was about to open his mouth to refuse, but thinking of Tang Yining's request to let him act this play more realistically, he withdrew the words that had reached his lips and agreed. Although he was helpless about it, he had already agreed, and he had no choice but to do it.
Moreover, these are just the little ninety-nine in his and Tang Yining's hearts!
If it weren't for other purposes, he wouldn't have followed Yining's intentions and pretended to be good to Zhao Yuning. It's just that among probably so many people, Zhao Yuning is the only one who is kept in the dark, right? It's really naΓ―ve to think that her Tianrui brother really changed his mind overnight.
I don't want to think about it, before Tang Yining appeared, although her Tianrui brother was a little different from her, he was not much better. When it was time to refuse, he never relented.
Maybe Zhao Yuning thought about it, but he just thought that Xie Tianrui was too nervous Tang Yining, and was worried that Tang Yining would lose his life, so he obeyed her? It's just that only Zhao Yuning knows what the situation really is.
Zhao Yuning thought to herself, although Brother Tianrui did this for Tang Yining's sake, but now that he has come to her side, she is not willing to investigate who he likes. The people on the left and right are already there, as long as it takes a long time, the heart will definitely be there.
