Chapter 52: Preparation
The five-day appointment expired, and Song Yun took Liu Heng to arrive as promised.
Dongmei hid inside and looked out, only to see a tall and thin man with slightly dark skin standing next to Song Yun, looking older than her.
Dongmei blushed at the moment, broke the curtain and left.
Xin Yao rolled her eyes angrily at Liu Heng through the curtain, and resisted the urge to step forward and kick her feet hard, resentful like an abandoned woman who had been robbed of a man.
Gu set a date on the spot and got married in three months.
Song Yun smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and immediately took out a pair of jade bracelets with excellent water heads from her arms, saying that it was a marriage gift for Dongmei, and handed it to the Gu family, so she hurriedly took her son back to Qingyang Town to prepare for the marriage.
Xin Yao grinded her back molars, and she lost her appetite for two days in a bad mood.
β¦β¦
Two days later, everyone in Jiang's house knew that Miss Four's personal maid Dongmei was about to be released, and they secretly planned it.
The second master, the second wife treats the fourth lady as a pain in the eyeballs, and often rewards the maid who waits for her. The fourth lady is young and has a good temper, unlike the third lady's courtyard, where it is often rumored that which maid has been beaten today, and which one has been scolded tomorrow.
In other words, the boss is good, the environment is good, and the treatment is good, which employee doesn't want to enter such a unit?
The Jiang family has four golden flowers, and there are two left. Looking at the family that the second lady marries, these two golden flowers will not be bad in the future. If you can wait in the fourth lady's room, and wait for the young lady to marry in the future, a dowry maid is indispensable. If you are lucky, you will have your uncle's blue eyes and open your face, maybe you will be half a master.
As a result, the servants of the Jiang Mansion secretly entrusted people to others, and those who made money wanted to wait in the fourth lady's house.
Li's mother was so annoyed that she called Dongmei to the young lady's room, closed the door, and the three of them had a long talk.
Dongmei suggested that she choose one of the second-class maids in the courtyard, and she would personally take her three months later, and wait in front of the young lady.
Xin Yao thought about it for a while and said, "Which one does Mom think is good?" β
The maids brought over by the old house were all single-handedly brought out by Mother Li, and Mother Li had an account in her heart.
Mother Li hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head.
"It stands to reason that the girl who is green moss is also outstanding among those few. Just ......"
Dongmei suddenly remembered something, and blurted out: "Mom, does she think this maid is too standard?" β
Mother Li swallowed her saliva and sighed: "If you talk about Peugeot, who can compare to Yinggui?" I saw that this girl looked at her clothes a little more seriously, and she couldn't find fault with the others. β
Mother Li's words were vague, but Dongmei heard them clearly. There is also a Jade Xuan behind the fourth lady, this is a major event that costs people's lives, and there can be no mistakes. Therefore, the people around Miss Fourth must be very proper.
Xin Yao's mind turned slightly, and she said lightly: "In this case, tomorrow my mother will return to my mother for me, and I will say that the few people around me now are all used to it, and others can't believe it." Let's wait a little longer! β
Dongmei said worriedly: "The old lady ...... over there"
Xin Yao smiled happily: "Don't worry, this little thing, mother can handle it!" β
β¦β¦
At the end of March, it is a good season for swallow grass to be like bisi and Qin mulberry to have low green branches. People have taken off their heavy winter clothes, changed into light spring clothes, and went outdoors to enjoy the flowers and willows.
The ancient city of Suzhou is the most popular among literati and artists. Talented people have a small gathering every three days, a large gathering every five days, or talk loudly, and chant poems against each other; Or holding a cup of tea, tasting flowers and tea, the end is full of spirit, ** dignified.
The women of the boudoir also often get together, or laugh together on the swing frame, or gather in front of the court to watch the willows dance in the spring breeze and the apricot blossoms in the spring water. It's really a purple and red, and the fragrance is all over the garden.
In a two-story faΓ§ade on the side of Taohuawu Street, several figures are in full swing preparing for the opening.
Jiang Xinyao learned that Fu Bo and the others had arrived in Suzhou Mansion, so she thought about going out of the house to see the decoration and furnishings of the shop in person. These days, in addition to the trivial matters of the Jiang Mansion, my mind is full of shop things. No one knows the wine in the deep alleys, how to make Jinjue Pavilion into a unique jade shop in Suzhou City, this is not something that can be achieved overnight.
Jiang Xinyao often couldn't sleep when she thought about it, so she stood by the window with a robe. This is not the previous life, there are many advertisements, the Internet is developed, as long as you have enough economic strength and spend a lot of money, you can become famous in one day.
This dynasty relies on signboards, is down-to-earth, and has been passed down by word of mouth for decades. And jewelry and jade, not ordinary people can afford to consume, poor families sell their children and daughters, how can they have spare money to buy a piece of jade to put on their bodies to decorate the faΓ§ade.
And the rich and noble eunuchs have a fixed consumption circle, and ordinary things can't get into their eyes. How to earn money from the rich has become a problem that Jiang Xinyao has been thinking about recently.
Jiang Xinyao told her mother the truth about the idea of leaving the house.
Since Gu learned about his daughter, he openly and secretly helped to find an excuse and took his daughter out of the house.
The two of them first bought some good materials from the silk village, and then hurried to the peach blossom dock.
When the money shopkeeper heard the news, he had been waiting at the entrance of the alley for a long time, and when he saw the carriage of the Jiang Mansion coming, he was busy leading the way, and after a while, he arrived at the shop.
Jiang Xinyao walked in with a hat and her mother's hand. The little guy cleverly stepped forward to reward the driver and closed the shop door casually.
Jiang Quan, Jiang Fu, and the money shopkeeper stepped forward to salute the second wife, and Gu smiled in return.
Jiang Xinyao took off her hat and looked around, admiring in her heart.
Jiang Quan led his wife and young lady up to the second floor, took out the locked treasures from the cabinet, and Jiang Xinyao looked at them one by one.
Xin Yao casually selected a piece of white jade Ping'an gourd, and said to Gu: "Mother, the texture of this jade pendant is warm and delicate, it looks like fat and oil, and it is like a baby's skin is delicate and smooth, and it is white and flawless, which can be called the top grade, and it is also suitable for my father." β
Gu Shi smiled: "You girl, what is your idea?" Okay, and let me be the first guest of this Jinjue Pavilion. Money shopkeeper, you have to give me a good price. β
Qian Jincai bowed forward and smiled flatteringly: "The second wife can see it, it is the blessing of this object, what money is not money, just take it and play with it." β
Jiang Xinyao nodded with a smile and said, "The money shopkeeper is a talker. However, this thing is not a free gift. Money shopkeeper, you just have to report higher. Mother, what do you think? β
Gu Shi looked at his daughter and smiled without saying a word, took out a thousand taels of silver ticket from his sleeve, and handed it to the money shopkeeper.
The money shopkeeper hesitantly took the silver ticket, but his eyes fell on the face of the fourth lady.
Xin Yao said with a smile: "Money shopkeeper, use a good matching rope and find a good-looking box for my mother to pack." β
Money shopkeeper Nono said yes.
Jiang Xinyao took a brocade box from Jiang Quan's hand again, and said with a smile: "Mother, this is given to you by your daughter, and your daughter has only one request, just wear it often." β
Gu Shi opened the brocade box, and his eyes instantly lit up with the contents inside. It is a set of three jewelry, a pair of jade earrings, a jade bracelet, and an jade necklace.
Jiang Xinyao said: "Mother looks at this set of heads, is it beautiful? β
Gu Shi exclaimed: "Mother lives so big, I have never seen such a delicate jade head, it is really beautiful and dazzling." β
Xin Yao said: "Mother doesn't know, this set of heads, composed of 18 glass imperial green, you see the emerald color is bright and bright, the color is bright and bright, the color is positive and thick, the whole body is fluorescent, it can be called a rare superlative, with broken diamonds, perfect." Mother, does this diamond look bright? β
Gu Shi nodded involuntarily.
"This broken diamond is a poked product, the general jade line, are inlaid with red and green gems, it looks monotonous, with broken diamonds to inlay, that is, highlighting the jade emerald color, but also showing the reflection and dazzling of the diamond, mother, this diamond-inlaid work, but it took some effort on the masters, you see, a total of two sets of finished products were made in a few months, and they can be regarded as the treasure of the town store."
Gu sighed: "Yao'er, it's too valuable, it's not something that my mother can wear." β
Jiang Xinyao smiled: "Mother, don't worry, let's talk about this on the way home." Now my daughter still has some things to discuss with the whole master, so you can sit and drink tea. β
Xin Yao summoned Yinggui to wait, waited for Gu's tea, and came to the courtyard with the three of them, looked at dozens of large and small stones in the yard, and asked, "Money shopkeeper, have these stones been put into the warehouse?" β
The money shopkeeper said: "Miss rest assured, all the treasures in the shop, with these stones, have been put into storage, and I and Quan Ye have both recorded." β
Xin Yao nodded and said, "That's good, the money and the goods must be separated." Quanye, where does the master of Zhuoyu need to do one thing, what kind of each baby, what kind, what color, what to say, how many taels of weight need to be remarked on the paper, before entering the shop, the same you have a copy, a copy of the money shopkeeper, no need for the master to do it himself, arrange an apprentice to do this, pay attention to it, there is always a benefit, if the guest asks how much the baby weighs, you can't always weigh it on the spot and say, these stones are the same. β
Jiang Quan and the money shopkeeper all praised the young lady's carefulness. Jiang Xinyao thought for a while, and said: "At the end of each month, the whole master will take the accounts, and you can see how the business is every month." There is another important thing that needs to be done by you. Come ...... ears with your ears."
After hearing this, the three of them all looked at Jiang Xinyao with disbelieving expressions. What is in this head, Miss?
Xin Yao smiled awkwardly: "Hey, the truth is from the virtual, the virtual is from the real, and I have no choice but to do it." β
Jiang Quanzheng said: "The old lady often says that soldiers are not tired of cheating. Miss's trick is just right for you here! I'll take care of that. β
β¦β¦
After the incident, Xin Yao helped her mother get into the carriage and return to Jiang's mansion.
Gu Shi stroked his daughter's face and sighed, "Yao'er, where did you learn these things?" Mother doesn't even know you anymore. β
"Mother, after a few years in the old house, my grandfather taught me by hand, and I only understood some fur." Of course, Jiang Xinyao couldn't tell the truth, so she had to push it on her grandfather.
"Mother, if there is an important occasion, I must wear it. Usually, you only wear three things in turns, and if someone asks you where you came from, you just say that you bought it from the shop at a high price. The money spent today should only be as my father wants. β
Gu Shi smiled: "Mother doesn't ask the reason, she just listens to you, you ghost girl." β
