Chapter 25 Shopping
After hearing this, Madame nodded and said, "Xiaoyu's idea is fresh, I think it's good." Steward An also echoed: "Yes, the second miss is really Lan Xinhui, even the old businessman who travels south and north may not have such a whimsical idea as the second miss." The villain's today is really an eye-opener! Xiao Yu saw that Mrs. and Steward An had no objections, so she told Steward An to go to Yunshang Shop to negotiate in the near future.
After finishing this shop, it was time for lunch, and the lady smiled and said: "You Qixia Courtyard must have prepared lunch, I won't keep you, if you have anything, just come to me to discuss." By the way, Xiaoyu, your dress has already been delivered, tomorrow after breakfast, I will take you two to the Treasure Pavilion to choose some new jewelry, so that it can match your new clothes. Xiaoyu and Qi Pan glanced at each other and cheered together.
It was easy to look forward to dawn, Xiao Yu and Qi Pan finished practicing early, and after breakfast, they heard Mrs. send someone to send a message, asking them to go directly to the second gate to wait.
Xiao Yu wore a newly-made apricot red auspicious moire makeup satin shirt with a coral red plain eight-panel skirt, embroidered with silver double swallows on the skirt. In order to match the double swallow pattern on the skirt, Xiaoyu deliberately combed a delphinium bun, and a magnolia jade hairpin was inserted obliquely on his head.
Qi Pan was wearing the moonlight hibiscus skirt, and combed a double-ring bun, and only a few light blue gemstone flowers were scattered on both sides of the bun.
"Why doesn't the big sister wear more jewelry?" Xiao Yu asked strangely. Qi Pan smiled slightly: "It's just to go shopping in the shop, it's weird and cumbersome to wear more, besides, a little less jewelry on your head is better to buy more to match!" Xiao Yu looked at the sky slyly and smiled at Qi Pan: "Today is really a strange thing, the sun has come out of the west, and the big sister has learned to laugh!" Qi Pan blushed when he heard this: "You little girl, why are you only allowed to make fun of me with a flamboyant tongue, and I am not allowed to make fun of you!" Xiaoyu made a gesture to apologize to Qi Pan and said: "Where, where, my sister is happy, I will be happy, I just hope that my eldest sister will smile every day!" ”
The two of them talked and laughed and walked through the garden. After more than ten days of practice, Qi Pan's complexion has improved a lot, and his physical strength has also increased greatly. Before she had even reached the garden, she felt exhausted and short of breath. But today she was playing with Xiaoyu, and before she knew it, the garden was over, and there was no bad feeling.
For so many years, she has always hated her body for not being angry, which made her mother worry and depressed all day long. I didn't expect to have such a refreshed and healthy day. The big stone that I had been carrying in my heart fell to the ground, and my mood naturally became comfortable.
When they arrived at the second gate, the lady had already arrived, and three large carriages stopped in front of the door. Madame and Zi Yan got into the first car, Xiao Yu and Qi Pan sat in the second car, and Bai Hui and Bai Fu got into the third car. The mother-in-law guards who accompanied the car also followed a large list.
This is the second time that Xiaoyu has gone out since she crossed, she sat in the car, quietly lifted the curtain and looked greedily at the street scene outside.
"Big sister, how long has it been since you've been out?" Xiao Yu asked casually, Qi Pan also secretly looked outside and said, "Hey, my health is very bad this year, speaking of which, this is the first time I have gone out this year!" ”
Xiaoyu stuck out his tongue and said with relief: "It's okay, big sister, we will come out to shop and buy if we want to come out in the future!" ”
Qi Pan nodded Xiaoyu's forehead with disgust: "You girl started talking nonsense again, our daughter's house that has not left the pavilion can come out if she can think of it, that is, go to Shangxiang or go to a relative's house to sit as a guest, even if this is the case, you must take it with your mother, how can you be like this, you can go shopping if you want, and buy it if you want to." ”
Xiao Yu touched his forehead and cried out in pain: "It hurts, big sister, why are you so ruthless!" It hurts to death! ”
Qi Panjiao said angrily: "What is immortal, bah, bah, children's words!" Then he put Xiaoyu's hand away with concern and said, "I'll take a look, it's red, I didn't use any strength just now, why did you cry out in pain?" ”
Xiao Yu giggled and said, "Big sister, I lied to you, it seems that you still love my little sister!" ”
Qi Pan glanced at Xiaoyu and said, "You, one day the elf is weird, I will be led astray by you." ”
Seeing Qi Pan, Xiaoyu is now more and more lively, and he no longer looks like he didn't eat the fireworks of the world when he first saw him. She became more and more happy, and she provoked Qi Pan to touch her face: "Second sister, what are you smiling at me, could it be that I rubbed something dirty on my face?" Xiao Yu looked at Qi Pan's appearance and laughed even more.
The carriage stopped in front of the Treasure Pavilion, Qi Pan put on his hat, and handed Xiao Yu a one. Xiaoyu pouted, thinking that this ancient was trouble, and he couldn't show his face when he went out.
She reluctantly put on the hat, but fortunately, the veil of the hat was relatively thin and did not affect her vision. Bai Shao and Bai Fu came up and got out of the car.
Yesterday, Madame had already informed the Treasure Pavilion that she was going to come to choose jewels today, so there were no other idlers in the Treasure Pavilion today. The steward of the Treasure Pavilion personally went to the door to greet the three of them.
It is said that this treasure pavilion has three floors, the first floor is for ordinary people to buy jewelry, the second floor is a place dedicated to receiving high-ranking ladies, and the jewelry inside is also very valuable, exquisite workmanship, and even some unique items. The third floor is a place dedicated to rare treasures, which are said to be the treasures of the town pavilion, which are only seen and not sold.
The two of them followed their ladies directly to the second floor, and the servants on the second floor were all servants, so that the ladies and ladies could take off their hats and buy jewelry. The little fish took off his hat and looked at the second layer of the legend.
The second floor is relatively empty, there are several quiet rooms on the right side, and there are three layers of shelves around the outside, on which various jewelry and gemstones are placed in gold velvet, shining brightly. Between the shelves stood huge candlesticks, no wonder the room was so bright.
A middle-aged servant woman stepped forward with a smile on her face and led the three ladies into the quiet room on the side. Facing the door of the quiet room is a screen with four plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums, and behind the screen is a piece of mahogany furniture.
Next to the four mahogany chairs is a mahogany table, which is intricately carved and depicts birds and animals that are worth a lot of money. There is a set of purple sand tea sets on the table, and the layout of this quiet room is meticulous and unconventional.
After Zi Yan laid the cushions on the chair with Bai Shao and Bai Fu, Madame, Qi Pan, and Xiaoyu sat down.
The servant woman smiled and said to Madame, "Madam, I wonder what jewelry you want to buy this time?" ”
Mrs. pointed to Xiaoyu and Qi Pan and said, "I want to choose some new jewelry for my two daughters, you go and get some jewelry that suits them, if you want it to be new, you can't use those old models to make up the number!" ”
The servant woman laughed again and again: "Madame said that it was funny, the small shop has just imported a batch of new goods from the Wa Kingdom and Persia, and the small one will go and bring it to Madame and Miss to see!" ”。
While waiting, Zi Yan quickly took out a set of small and delicate tea sets and red clay stoves, Xiao Yu smiled when she saw this: "Sister Zi Yan is really careful, even brought these." Zi Yan said with a smile: "These things are very pickled outside, and the things in this entrance are more reassuring to carry by yourself." Zi Yan said in her mouth, but her hand did not stop, and after a while, a pot of tea was brewed.
The three of them had only tasted two sips of tea, and the servant woman came in with a plate. Inside the plate is a set of pearl jewelry. "Madam, please see, this set of pearl necklaces is from the Japanese country, the pearls are round, not to mention, it is rare that each one on this chain is of average size, you see this pearl treasure flowing, the end is a good pearl."
The servant woman took out the jewels from the pearl kit one by one and showed them to the three of them. Xiaoyu took a pearl hairpin, only to see that this hairpin hairpin is made of pure gold, the hairpin head is made of half-open hibiscus shape, and the hibiscus stamen is inlaid with a pearl the size of a dragon's eye, which is round and lovely, and is shining.
"Little fish, do you like it?" Seeing that Xiaoyu was silent, the lady asked. Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "This jewelry is too valuable, I'm still young, and it's not suitable for it." ”
Madame nodded and thought, "This little girl is not a shallow-eyed girl, and it is best to know what is suitable." Then she waved her hand to the servant woman and said, "Go and choose something that is lively and light-hearted, and suitable for a little girl like them." The servant woman nodded yes and went out with her plate.
After a while, the servant woman came in with another plate. "Madam, this set of diamond jewelry is a new product from Persia, it looks like a Persian style, quite novel, and only this set, the two ladies see if they like it?"
The little fish stared at it, and his heart was happy, the diamond was not the diamond in the previous life. On the plate is a pair of diamond necklaces, the base of which is a vine made of silver entwined, on which the rose is set with broken diamonds, and the vine roses on both sides are extended and entwined with a large eight-prong diamond in the center.
The diamonds are cut into facets and sparkle like stars against the candle flame, and there is a matching pair of rose-patterned diamond earrings with a long diamond tassel underneath.
This diamond jewelry is just right with that dress! Xiao Yu looked at this set of diamond jewelry with burning eyes, imagining what he would look like in a dress, and couldn't help but be distracted.
"Second sister, why are you stunned" Qi Pan looked at Xiaoyu in a daze, and couldn't help but shake Xiaoyu's sleeve.
Xiao Yu smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's the first time I've seen such beautiful jewelry, and I can't help but see God." ”
Madame smiled and said, "This diamond is only liked by the Persian side to be made into jewelry, but few people on our side like it, and it is not worth a few dollars." This set of jewelry is not badly made, and the shape is relatively innovative. If you like it, I'll wrap them up. When the servant woman heard this, she put the set aside, and then went out and brought in a set of ruby jewelry.
This set of jewels is made of solid gold, a ruby hairpin with fish and lotus leaves, a ruby Pisces collar and a pair of ruby Pisces earrings.
