Chapter 22: The Nine Kings Return Home
Xu Jiao noticed that the eldest son of the lock family who had never gotten up while sitting on the circle chair, I don't know if I don't see it, but it really looks like it...... I was amazed! I saw that this Suochun Gongzi looked as clear as a Zhilan jade tree, if he held a whisk and stood on the top of the clouds, then he would be a proper immortal!
However, it seems that this fairy can't stand on the top of the clouds, because his ankles are exposed from the blanket covering his legs, Xu Jiao can really see it, it is a pair of deformed ankles, like withered, lifeless leaning on the horizontal wood of the circle chair.
Afraid that the other party would be embarrassed to see it, Xu Jiao quickly retracted her gaze, put the drawings in the middle of the table and patted them: "I want to take a cut of the profits from the jewelry I designed that you sold, and each one will take forty percent." ”
The two brothers of the Suo family asked in unison: "What is a commission?" ”
"For example, if you use the capital of ten taels to build the hairpin with this pattern in my hand now, and then sell it for fifty taels, then I will get forty percent of the profit of forty taels, how about it?" Xu Jiao shook her snow-white fingers and asked the two people in front of her.
Suo Xia hurriedly shook his head and was about to refuse, but he was facing Suo Chun with an inexplicable smile and signaled to him not to be anxious.
I saw Suo Chun snap open the folding fan in his hand, and slowly folded it back casually, while saying: "Little girl, this is a lion's big mouth, you are so confident?" ”
Xu Jiao thought about it for a while and understood that the boss of the lock family wanted to bargain with him.
Then he said: "It's okay, this jewelry shop in Beijing should be more than your one Zhenqiao Pavilion, I can go to other shops to ask, maybe someone will look at the design of the only one." ”
As he spoke, he put away the drawings and walked out. Dong'er followed her instructions in a circle, and she didn't understand, why did Miss have so many strange things in her mind all of a sudden, and she actually knew how to do business!
The two of them walked to the door, and they didn't even take a single step, and there was a voice from behind them: "Sancheng." If the girl wishes, we will sign the contract immediately. ”
Xu Jiao looked back at the two brothers of the Suo family sitting at the table, ran back to the table quickly, and smiled unabashedly: "A word is a certainty!" ”
"It's a deal." Suo Chun smiled and nodded at her.
Suo Chun's clear smiling face shook his thoughts, Xu Jiao held her little face and shook her head vigorously: "Ouch~ Don't smile at others if you look good, people will fall in love with you~"
As soon as these words came out, the Suo brothers were dumbfounded, Suo Chun's face was even more handsome, and Dong'er hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth: "How can you talk nonsense at will!" ”
Xu Jiao still didn't care about coming to Suo Chun: "When will the agreement be signed?" ”
Suo Chun hurriedly took a big sip of the cold tea on the table, and then instructed Suo Xia: "Draw up a contract immediately and sign it with this girl." ”
Before long, two agreements signed with the words "Suo Chun" were presented to Xu Jiao.
Xu Jiao grabbed the brush and quickly wrote the word "Shushu" on two pieces of paper, and at the end of the year, looking at Juanxiu's font, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Fortunately, I learned to paint, otherwise this brush really can't be controlled.
Suo Chun took the contract that belonged to him, looked at the word Shushu on it, and praised: "Miss Shushu writes well." ”
Xu Jiao waved her hand, seeing that it was still early, for the sake of her "money", she felt that she should draw some more patterns, so she stood behind the counter and began to write on the desk, suddenly twisted to the left and then twisted to the right, and then put her upper body on the counter for a while, and even put her feet on the counter for a while, just because she was "creating" with her heart.
The Suo brothers and Dong'er surrounded her quietly, watching her throw out a pattern for a while, and then a pattern for a while, and then instructed Suo Xia to color. But he buried himself in sketching, and in just over an hour, he actually drew five hairpins and hairpins with different styles!
It wasn't until the unitary hour was approaching that Dong'er urged her vigorously that she put away her pen and got up and stretched her waist to prepare to go home.
Seeing that she couldn't stop twisting her neck and beating her waist, Suo Chun turned around and told Suo Xia to bring the carriage in the backyard and send them back. Xu Jiao naturally would not refuse, and obediently took Dong'er to the tea shop when the carriage came and went.
In the car, Xu Jiao repeatedly told Suo Xia not to reveal her identity, saying that her deed of sale was still in the hands of the prince, and it was inconvenient for outsiders to know.
Xu Jiao saw Zhao Ping sitting on the edge of the tea shop at the corner, and kept looking in their direction, hurriedly asked Suo Xia to stop the carriage, jumped off the carriage with Dong'er and hid sideways on the side of the wall, until Suo Xia's carriage disappeared at the end, and then turned around and walked towards Zhao Ping.
From a distance, Zhao Ping saw the two of them and hurriedly greeted them: "I'm really afraid that my sister will get lost, but I didn't expect the two girls to be quite capable." ”
Xu Jiao really couldn't tell whether she was praising her or belittling her, so she simply smiled and said, "Go back." ”
Xu Jiao stayed quietly in the house for three days, and during the three days, she "worked hard" to make fine charcoal, and asked Dong'er to follow Zhao Ping to the market to buy a thick stack of rice paper and colored stone powder, and took advantage of Zhao Yin's absence to run to the study to touch a few good wolf pens, and then drew the artwork stored in her head one by one.
This time, she not only drew hairpins and hairpins, but also necklaces, bracelets, anklets, rings, wrenches and fingers, what she thought of to draw, and in three days, she actually drew more than 20 exquisite patterns, and her eyes were black.
Put the drawn drawings into the bottom of the box, Xu Jiao lay on the couch and covered her head and fell asleep, this night Xu Jiao slept for a long time, until she slept from the middle of the night to the early morning of the day after tomorrow, almost a dozen hours. However, Xu Jiao, who lacked sleep, has always been very able to sleep, so when she finished foraging for food in the middle of the night and continued to lie on the couch, she slept until the early morning of the next day!
Xu Jiao stretched her waist and went to push the lattice window, Dong'er had already prepared hot water for her to wash, and when she saw her coming over, she said resentfully: "Niangniang has only been sleeping for the past two days, but I don't know that you have fried the pot in Beijing." ”
Xu Jiao was taken aback: "What? Could it be that Xu Qing is really dead? This is the only thing she can think of now that can make Shangjing fryer because of her business.
Because Xu Qing is the young lady of the Guogong Mansion, if she is really sent to the palace by Zhao Yin to learn the rules and lose her life, I am afraid that she will have to fry the pot in Beijing, and this matter happens to be related to herself.
Dong'er wrung out the handkerchief and handed it to her: "Where is what Niangniang said?" The slave maid said that the pattern you drew in the Zhenqiao Pavilion last time was made, and the shopkeeper of the Zhenqiao Pavilion told the world that it was the pattern drawn by the world's master 'scholar' they invited, and each one was very valuable. The ladies of the boudoir in Beijing heard that they all ran to see it, and they saw those fresh styles, one by one, they liked it very much, and they rushed to buy, in just two days, the first batch of Zhenqiao Pavilion was robbed, and now the ladies in Beijing are around Zhenqiao Pavilion every day, and they have bought it and asked the 'scholar' when will the new style come out? If you haven't bought it, ask when will the second batch of Zhenqiao Pavilion come out? ”
After washing her face, Xu Jiao casually brushed the hair on her forehead, looked at Dong'er with a smile and asked, "So, I won the first battle?" ”
"Victory in the first battle? Niangniang is not fighting, what do you say about winning the first battle? Dong'er put away the handkerchief suspiciously, ready to pour out the washing water.
Xu Jiao just smiled happily but didn't explain, and then asked Dong'er: "Do you know how much Zhenqiao Pavilion has done this time?" ”
Dong'er said: "Listening to Ruxiang's big mouth, they seem to have made five of each kind this time." ”
"Five?" Xu Jiao frowned as she walked towards the lattice window: "I gave them six patterns last time, five, six or thirty, so to speak, they have made a total of thirty expenditures, which is too inefficient, no wonder many people can't buy them." ”
Dong'er had already gone out with her face wash, and no one behind her answered her words. Xu Jiao said to herself: "How much will they sell for such a novel jewelry?" When she said this, Xu Jiao was thinking about how much silver she could get.
"What? Do you want to buy? A voice came from behind him, it was Zhao Yin, who had not been seen for a long time.
As soon as Xu Jiao turned around, she saw Zhao Yin standing at the door with a frosty face.
