Chapter 20: Here comes business
When she returned to Nianqing's Liangyuan Shop, it was already evening, and Mengle Township lit up the neon sign again, Du Nianqing was so tired that she lay on the table, she raised her eyes and looked at the ancient clock, it was already eight o'clock.
I'm really tired today, and at this time, a girl suddenly knocked on the door cautiously at the door, and her voice was also very soft: "Is the store closed now?" ”
Du Nianqing looked at the girl at the door, dressed in ordinary clothes and pants, and seemed to be staring at her timidly and winking, Du Nianqing immediately got up and walked to the door: "Not yet, Miss, please come and sit in first." Saying that, inviting people in, and going to hot tea, the girl looked at the furnishings of the shop, which was antique, and the antiquities placed in the shop must be very precious things, so she was even more restrained.
"Look at the girl, she must have come to ask for marriage, right?" Du Nianqing took off the hot teapot and poured a cup of tea for the girl.
The girl didn't answer her question directly, but asked cautiously tentatively: "Is it expensive?" ”
Du Nianqing was slightly stunned, smiled, and shook her head: "Miss can pay as much as she can afford." ”
"Really? But wouldn't you suffer a lot in that way? The girl's eyes were sleepy, and she was still a little nervous, staring straight at Du Nianqing.
She chuckled and sat down across from her, "Since I'm helping people pull the red line, it's a good thing, how can I let a girl's family go bankrupt because of this?" ”
"Miss, tell me first, what is your name, are you alone or do you already have a crush?"
The girl sat very restrained, with her hands clenched into fists on her laps, looking not very relaxed, Du Nianqing guessed that she was either the maid of a big family or the child of a poor family.
"My name is Luo Qin, as for the person I like, I have it, but he hasn't known about it." The more Luo Qin spoke, her head lowered, and she was a little unconfident in her words.
"If you have, why don't you just confess to him?"
"I ...... I didn't dare, because I was afraid that he wouldn't like me, and I wouldn't dare to face him again after I said it. But this time is different, I don't dare to tell him, but I still want to let him know about it through an intermediary, because ......" Luo Qin raised her head and looked at Du Nianqing very seriously when she said it was different, but she fell down again in the back, "My father planned to sell me to a rich family in the town as a concubine in order to have money to gamble, but I want to seize the last chance, if I know that he also likes me, I can run away with him, if he doesn't like me, then my future life can only be like this." ”
Du Nianqing frowned, this girl doesn't look very old, but it's a pity that she has such a father.
"What's the name of the guy you have a crush on?" Du Nianqing asked.
"His name is Guo Ji, and he is a worker at the dock in the town."
"Docks?" As far as she knows, there's only one dock in town, right? She asked again, "I heard that there was an accident at the dock today, is he okay?" ”
Luo Qin nodded excitedly, "It happened to be him transporting the goods that day, but fortunately nothing happened!" ”
Du Nianqing could see that she liked the young man named Guo Ji very much.
"Do you have a picture of him?" Luo Qin nodded like pounding garlic, and took out a yellowed old one-inch photo from her jacket pocket, Du Nianqing took the photo, the photo was a sunny boy with a bright smile, and a mouthful of big white teeth was eye-catching.
She got up, walked to the cabinet, yawned secretly, and after a moment she turned her back to Luo Qin and asked, "You knew each other before, right?" ”
"Well, we are childhood sweethearts, but my dad has always thought he was a poor boy and always targeted him, so sometimes he deliberately alienated me in front of my dad, and I thought he hated me." Luo Qin's tone couldn't hide the sadness, and he said: "So I've never been sure what kind of feelings he has for me. ”
Du Nianqing took out the bookmarks of the two children who had no guesses, handed one of them to Luo Qin and said, "Write it down, what do you want to say to him." ”
"Huh? Do I write it down? ”
Luo Qin was stunned, puzzled but a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry, I won't let him read what you wrote until I'm sure of his intentions." Du Nianqing knew that she was shy, Luo Qin answered, picked up the pen on the table, didn't think about it, and began to write, when she wrote her heartfelt words, she was full of smiles, and finally wrote and handed the bookmark to Du Nianqing, seeing that she was laughing, she was a little embarrassed, "This sentence was said by a private school that I secretly heard Mr. Teach say before." ”
I don't know.
"Miss Luo, please give me a token that can prove your identity."
"Oh, okay." Luo Qin immediately took out a piece of silk cloth from her pocket and wrapped a pair of cheap fake jade earrings in it, "Can this be counted?" Luo Qin was a little embarrassed, "Although this is very cheap, it was given to me by Guo Ji when I was eighteen years old, and I have always kept it very carefully, for fear of losing it." "As long as it is given to her by Guo Ji, no matter how cheap it is, it is a precious treasure to her!
"Of course! I say that the matchmaker pays attention to a sincere heart, and it has nothing to do with the price. Du Nianqing put the earrings and bookmarks together, pointed to the antiquities on the cabinet on the side, looked at Luo Qin and said, "Now, you can choose an antiquity as evidence to witness your love." ”
In fact, to be honest, she herself doesn't know the role of this thing too well, because when she crossed over to take over such a good relationship shop, she only explained how to operate, but she didn't say how these antiquities that would witness true love to couples were witnessed.
Anyway, explain it clearly, and you will naturally know it in a few decades.
"Choosing evidence? So, is this an additional accounting? Luo Qin asked her heart very honestly, Du Nianqing felt that this girl was actually quite cute, "No, and you can't take this evidence, you need to put it in my shop, and after ten or twenty years, you can come to me again, and you can take away the testimony of your love." ”
"Really?" Luo Qin's eyes lit up when she heard that these antiquities had such a magical effect, "Boss, I found that your good relationship shop is completely different, much better than those matchmakers who charge high prices to coax their parents to sell their children!" ”
Du Nianqing smiled and didn't answer, "You choose first." ”
Luo Qin took a general look in front of the cabinet, there are blue and white porcelain vases, there are finely carved ornaments, there are gold and jade screens, there are Buddha statues, there is a picture of Luo Shen hanging on the wall, all are very valuable, and finally Luo Qin chose a handicraft, it is a delicate fishing boat, according to legend, it was made by a master carver in the Ming Dynasty, according to legend, because this fishing boat also had a story.
"Okay, two days later, Miss Luo will come to me again, and I promise to give you an accurate reply." Du Nianqing put the bookmarks and tokens together with the fishing boat carving, reminded Luo Qin, and added, "You don't need to pay a deposit, I will charge after the matter is completed." ”
"Okay, thank you, thank you hostess!" Luo Qin thanked her repeatedly, she felt that she was really lucky to have met such a good good shop owner, who was very friendly without cheating money or cheating people.
Du Nianqing closed the shop after sending people away, her eyelids were trembling, she really couldn't hold back the deep sleepiness, it was better to wash and sleep early, Ming'er still had to work.
