When I woke up, I immediately felt the sun fill the room. Only then did I remember that I didn't close the curtains last night.

Manhattan is lined with skyscrapers, almost reaching into the sky. Luckily, they lived on a higher floor, otherwise they would probably only see the narrow sky surrounded by the buildings. Yan Juan stretched comfortably, and the end of the newcomer award made her feel reassured.

The second-place result gave her a commanding height. The praise and praise from Jason gave her a lot of confidence. She felt full of strength to meet the new challenge.

Breakfast is served in the revolving restaurant on the rooftop, with a distant view of the Imperial Garden Mansion in the sun. Sitting here, it is impossible to have the feeling of "seeing all the mountains at a glance". The surrounding buildings may be a little shorter than the hotel they are staying in, but they are not too different.

"We're just going to stay in the U.S. for two more days and wait for the tourmaline contract to be signed before we leave." Yan Yixin smiled and handed her a piece of bread, "This is Fifth Avenue, the central avenue of Manhattan. ”

"Five Avenues?" Yan Xuan's eyes immediately lit up.

"yes, it's a place where famous products come together. If you want to buy cosmetics or clothes, there's no better place to be. Yan Yixin said casually, feeling strange again. None of this is what Yan Juan is interested in, right?

Indeed, there are a lot of famous shopping spots there. For example, Fendi, HenniBendel, Takahimaya...... It is a place where Manhattan and all over the world are touted by 'women' and 'sex'. However, Yan Juan did not want to come again.

"Isn't there a museum of metropolitan art nearby? I think it's not far away, right? ”

"Just walk through Central Park." Yan Yixin suddenly realized, "It turns out that you want to go to the museum!" It seems, you're not very new to New York either? Don't...... Have you been here before? ”

"No, no," Yan Juan hurriedly shook his head, "I saw it...... Introduced on TV. ”

Today's air conditioning doesn't seem to be too much, and a thin layer of sweat has appeared on her forehead. After seven years of imprint, how can it not fade after a year of living? She used to stay on Fifth Avenue for a few days every year, and when she did, of course, she would go with a large bag of luggage.

Now think about it, how could you endure such a life back then!

It seems that people's adaptability is really strong...... "Next time I have a chance, I will take you to the British Museum to see, where there are a large number of cultural relics that were looted during the Opium War." Everything is 'fine', and all of them are snatched. Yan Yixin didn't suspect anything.

"Well, I've always wanted to check it out." Yan Wan nodded again and again, "If you have a chance, you must take me to see and understand." ”

She spent a long time in Paris because it was a 'prodigal' city known as the capital of fashion. But even the Louvre, the number of times she went to it was extremely limited, and every time she was just in a hurry. Because she doesn't do it alone every time, no matter where she goes to the city, the first choice is to find 'fine' fashion stores and cosmetics stores.

Yan Wan shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off all the not-so-happy memories of his previous life.

"If you don't hate walking, we can walk through Central Park." Yan Yixin suggested, "If you feel tired, we can call a taxi." ”

"No, let's walk over there." Yan Juan immediately selected the most environmentally friendly "'traffic' communication tool".

Central Park is a rectangular greenery, and in this big city where every inch of land is valuable, it has to be said that the courage of the municipal authorities has to be said to set aside such a place for greening.

"When I bought the land, people suspected it was an unwise deal."

"Why?" Yan Qian asked curiously.

"Because at that time, it was a barren land, full of rocks and sinkholes. However, the price is not low, and the price is as high as $7,500 per acre. ”

"This land seems huge, doesn't it?" Yan Xuan narrowed her eyes and looked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the other side of Central Park.

"Eight hundred and forty-three acres."

"Wow! It's really willing, if it's used to build real estate, I don't know how much this land can be sold for! Yan Wan smacked her tongue and sighed with emotion.

"Yan Juan, sometimes I suspect that you are more than that." Yan Yixin's words made Yan Juan take a big startle.

Could it be that the secret of her rebirth has been exposed? I don't know if it's going to be a monster!

"How...... Say what? Reluctantly, Yan Xuan's eyes glanced to the side of the park.

There, there are toddlers, stumbling along the green grass. Unlike the Chinese, it is not the gray-haired old man who accompanies him on one side, but the *** who is in full bloom.

"Because sometimes, you don't act like a 'girl' at the beginning of college. But sometimes, it's naïve. ”

Yan Juan breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm very naïve!" Sometimes it's too sensitive, and that's because of the father's ...... died young, and his mother also died a few years ago. ”

"I think you'd prefer to stay at the European Pavilion." Yan Yixin hurriedly changed the topic and whistled. Changing into casual clothes, he seems to have become more lively than usual.

"Why?"

"Because there are a lot of great masters there, such as Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Monette, Manette, Renault, and so on."

"Ah, let's go straight to the European Pavilion then!"

"Don't worry, if you want to actually see this museum, I think you'll need at least three days. Moreover, the exhibits here are not static, and sometimes some are replaced. ”

"Is it because there are too many exhibits? I remember the British Museum was the same, and many of them were closed to the public. ”

"There are indeed reasons for this." Yan Yixin nodded and bought a 'door' ticket on the side.

"I thought that museums in the United States were public, and they didn't need 'door' tickets!" Yan Juan stuck out his tongue, "It's not expensive, right?" ”

"In fact, it can't be regarded as buying a 'door' ticket, there is no fixed fee, and the method of recommending donations is adopted."

"Well, I think museums should be open to all people, so that they can play their proper role. For example, in our museum, the 'door' ticket is not too expensive, but it can't let me go in two days to watch. For example, the municipal museum in our city located in Sanli Square has really good facilities, even the toilets are very large. The class is a 'door' ticket to charge 35 yuan, now my income is bearable, if before, even with the student ID card can be half a ticket, I think it is a big expense! ”

"This museum is huge." Yan Yixin took her into the museum. Yan Juan raised his head and saw the high roof, and the whole hall was very magnificent.

"One floor??"

"Three floors. It occupies four blocks and has more than three million exhibits. ”

"It's huge! If there are no activities today, I'm going to 'hang out' here for the day! Yan Wan grinded his fists and palmed his hands, with a posture that he was about to start watching.

"Go to the European Pavilion first?"

"Of course, there are so many famous artists, who does it look at if you don't look at it?"

replied unyieldingly, followed Yan Yixin and went straight to the European Pavilion.

Here, Yan Wan completely forgot the tourmaline that he had been thinking about. Unlike the splendor of gemstones, the studios here are quiet, but they have their own styles. Yan Xuan's gaze, with admiration and awe, seemed to grasp the essence of the painting, and stayed in front of each painting for a long time.

The charm of these paintings, unlike the shock of gemstones, needs to be savored.

When she stared at the painting, the lines of the side face were very soft, but the chin was stubborn. Yan Yixin felt that the time he spent looking at the paintings was far less than the time he spent looking at her. She is one of the most beautiful paintings.

Fortunately, Yan Juan was fascinated and didn't notice his frequent glances.

"Have you eaten?" Although Yan Yixin was reluctant to break the tranquility in the painting hall, the problem in his stomach still needed to be solved.

"Huh? So fast! "Yan Juan woke up like a dream, and he didn't even finish reading an exhibition hall in half a day? It seems that her efficiency needs to be improved.

"When we came out, it was already ten o'clock in the morning." Yan Yixin explained with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you to a restaurant with a more 'color' color." ”

"Restaurant? Just buy a burger, where is the need to eat it seriously and come back! "Yan Juan has never been very particular about eating.

Yan Yixin couldn't cry or laugh, it seemed that he couldn't get tired of eating the 'fine' 'hair' disease, and he was about to be assimilated by her.

"Hey, this painting seems to be of an Oriental, you can see her hair curled. Well, I think tourmaline can also try to make two headwear, maybe the effect is not necessarily as good as jadeite and soft 'jade'. ”

"Tourmaline for headdress?"

"Yes, of course! Nowadays, retro is popular, and I think jewelry such as hairpins and hairpins must also be very popular with 'women'. We don't do much jade and 'jade', we can use plain gold! Wang Xifeng in "Dream of Red Mansions", isn't he full of pearls as soon as he appears? There's a passage in there, I think that's how it was written, right? He wears a golden silk eight treasures beaded bun on his head, and a sunrise five phoenixes hanging bead hairpins. ”

"I'm really convinced of you, I can even make a piece of jewelry!" Yan Yixin smiled bitterly, "Miss, it's dinner time, let's talk while eating, OK?" ”

Yan Juan stuck out his tongue and found that although his voice was very low, the two visitors nearby still cast a look of disapproval.

Followed Yan Yixin out of the museum, Yan Wancai shouted in annoyance: "No, I saw that there is also fast food inside, that is, hamburger coffee and the like, why don't you just eat a little bit in it?" ”

"I've been looking at it for a long time, and my eyes are a little 'flowery'." Yan Yixin can only make excuses for his behavior, "So, we eat in the restaurant over there in Central Park, and we can also see the scenery of the park, isn't it a double win?" ”

Yan Xuan's head was sketching the hairpin on Wang Xifeng's head, so he let it go and followed him into a restaurant. The position by the window, as far as the eye can see, is a rich green 'color', which makes people feel refreshed.

"By the way, we can make twelve hairpins of different styles, with K platinum, K gold or ninety-two five silver, we can name it Jinling Twelve Hairpins. If you have money, you can buy a set, and if you don't have money, you can buy one, and everyone takes what they need, how about it? ”

"Needless to say, the so-called Chaoyang Five Phoenix Hanging Bead Hairpin is a signature product?" Yan Yixin somewhat understood her idea, "If you can really design twelve different hairpins, maybe you can be an instant hit!" ”

"In this set, I want to use tourmaline." Yan Xuan's thoughts once again surprised Yan Yixin.

"How do you use tourmaline for the headdress?" He frowned, "If you want to use twelve kinds of color 'color', that's not a problem, there are more than twelve kinds of color 'color' of tourmaline!" However, although tourmaline is not low in hardness, it has brittle 'properties', so I'm afraid it's not easy to design, right? ”

"We only use small particles of tourmaline, and most of them are still supported by metal." Yan Juan explained, "For example, the Chaoyang Five Phoenix Hanging Bead Hairpin, as the name suggests, the phoenix must have beads hanging in its mouth, and we can design tourmaline beads." The purpose of this is mainly to introduce tourmaline. ”

"Yes, you see, there are three kinds of rubellite that we can use, from crimson, to pink, and one is pink."

"Rubellite is a rare material and usually contains more contents, even cracks and fissures. Large rubellites with good clarity are not so easy to find. If you think that, I think gold with rubellite would be more eye-catching. ”

"It doesn't need to be too big, how big of the beads can be used with the beads in Feng's mouth?" Yan Juan disagreed, feeling that his idea was very feasible, "If the flaws do not affect the color and light refraction of the gemstone, the price will not be affected, and we just need to be careful to avoid those flaws when designing." ”

"There are also two types of green 'colors', one is light and the other is dark green."

"Yes, you can use a chrome tourmaline to elevate the whole set of jewelry. If you have canary yellow, it's even better. And blue tourmaline, so how many colors are there? Three kinds of red, three kinds of green, two shades of yellow, two shades of blue, two kinds of blue 'color'......"

She snapped her fingers, tilted her head sideways, with a little coquettishness, so that Yan Yixin couldn't help but reach out her hand, grabbed her fingers, and put them to her 'lips'.

"There are still two kinds of left." Yan Yixin's words made Yan Juan not react for a while.

"What?"

"You've counted ten colors, and you're missing two." Yan Yixin reminded with a smile.

"Huh? Oh. Yan Xuan's face was a little hot, "Are there still two kinds of missing?" ”

"There's also an orange 'colored' tourmaline that can also be used." Yan Yi smiled in his heart.

"Isn't there one left...... Yan Juan frowned and lifted her cheeks, "Am I a little whimsical?" The other colors don't match gold very well. If I start with Chaoyang Wufeng, it is not appropriate to use platinum. Watermelon tourmaline? However, it itself has two colors and 'colors', and it is a bit nondescript when used in the twelve golden hairpins. ”

"Well, there's actually another 'color', the only variety of tourmaline that is independent of all colors."

Yan Juan immediately sat up straight: "What kind of tourmaline is it?" ”
