Chapter 14 Jewelry
When Qi Tanying learned that she was going to see someone, she thought she had heard it wrong, and she was stunned for a while before coming back to her senses.
Mrs. Qi told her about the situation in the subject's home again, and she listened and lost her mind.
Seeing her daughter's absent-minded appearance, Mrs. Qi thought that she was unwilling to look at Yan Li, and persuaded: "This Yan Li was selected by me and your aunt, except for being older, there is nothing else wrong." ”
There is one thing that Mrs. Qi didn't dare to mention to her daughter, that is, Yan Li had already accepted a concubine before he married a wife.
"Mother thinks, no matter what, you meet him first, if you don't see it, your mother will definitely not force you."
Qi Tanying was not unwilling, but felt a little hasty.
A few days ago, her mother was sick in bed because she was too worried, and it was only a few days before she had the energy to talk about her marriage.
Although her mother is also a native of Kyoto, she has been widowed for many years and has lived in Wuzhou for a long time, and she has long lost contact with her old friends, and where did she find her husband's house for her.
You don't have to think about it to know that these things are almost all bothered by your aunt, Mrs. Jiang.
She had an intuition that the reason why Yan Li agreed to look at her might also be because she was Mrs. Jiang's niece. Otherwise, according to his current rank of the sixth grade, there are other better options.
Seeing that her daughter did not object to looking at each other, Mrs. Qi was instantly full of energy, and hurriedly discussed the date with Mrs. Jiang, and finally chose April 23.
After setting a date to see each other, Mrs. Qi decided to go to Lingyun Pavilion to buy some clothes and jewelry for her daughter, Mrs. Jiang contributed this time, and in order to show her gratitude, she also brought Jiang Yi and Jiang Mei together.
Jiang Yi and Jiang Mei were so excited when they heard that Mrs. Qi was going to take them to Lingyun Pavilion to buy jewelry. Where is Lingyun Pavilion, it is a famous gold cave in Kyoto, and it is a place where they can't go twice a year.
The jewelry of Lingyun Pavilion is novel and chic, but the price is high but it is difficult to find a decoration. All the jewelry shops in Kyoto are based on the Lingyun Pavilion, and the styles sold in the Lingyun Pavilion will not be sold until a month later.
But those shops are just imitation styles, whether it is workmanship or materials, they are a grade lower than those of Lingyun Pavilion.
Mrs. Qi took Qi Tanying and the three of them straight to Lingyun Pavilion, and they were greeted by a tall maid with a round face and apricot eyes.
Mrs. Qi smiled and said to the round-faced maid, "Please show me your latest jewelry here, I want to pick out a few jewelry for a few children in the family." ”
The round-faced maid shook her head, "This lady, I'm really sorry, you need to order five days in advance to try on the latest jewelry. ”
"There is such a rule?" Mrs. Qi was a little incomprehensible, "Mrs. Qi frowned, there were no such rules in the previous Lingyun Pavilion. ”
The round-faced maid looked at Mrs. Qi a few times quietly, and saw that although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, the material of the dress on their bodies was good Yunjin, and they knew that this was also a master who was not short of money.
But who can come to Lingyun Pavilion to spend money?
"Presumably the wife and the three young ladies returned to Beijing from other places, right? Lingyun Pavilion had a new owner earlier, and the new owner was none other than the Lin family, known as the first imperial merchant in Kyoto. ”
Mrs. Qi was a little stunned when she heard this, it turned out that Lingyun Pavilion had actually become the Lin family's shop. Thinking that a few days ago, she was still disgusted that the young son of the Lin family was not worthy of her daughter, so she came to buy jewelry in someone's shop today.
It's really embarrassing.
Fortunately, she only said those words to her sister, and no one else knew. Besides, she spent money to buy things, and she didn't come to the door to fight the autumn breeze, so what was there to be embarrassed about.
Thinking of this, she put the messy thoughts behind her, and looked at the round-faced maid, "If you have any new rules here, let's talk about them as well." ”
The round-faced maid said: "In addition to trying on the new model, you need to book five days in advance, and the box where the female guests rest must also be booked in advance." ”
There are so many rules!
Mrs. Qi thought to herself, she will never come again after this time.
Because she didn't make a reservation in advance, the round-faced maid took Mrs. Qi and the four of them to the counter with ordinary jewelry to choose. Qi Tanying looked at the jewelry from left to right, and always felt that the jewelry was too cheesy and not what she liked.
She asked the round-faced maid, "Do you have a hairpin that is more elegant and pure?" ”
"Please come with me."
Qi Tanying said to Mrs. Qi, and followed the round-faced maid to another counter, and the jewelry displayed at this counter was indeed more in line with Qi Tanying's mind than the previous one.
She looked at them again in turn, and a pink and white cherry blossom hosta caught her attention.
She pointed to the hosta and said to the round-faced maid, "I want to see that." ”
The round-faced maid immediately took it out, and Qi Tanying took the hosta and looked at it carefully, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
The round-faced maid praised: "Miss is really a good eye." This hosta is made of the best Hetian jade as raw material, carved with the technique of openwork, the hairpin body is smooth and moist, and the hairpin head has nine pink and white eightfold cherry blossoms, which means that it will last for a long time. ”
"How much?"
"Five hundred taels."
It's too expensive! The price of the hosta exceeded Qi Tanying's expectations, and she felt that it was not worth spending five hundred taels to buy a hairpin, so she handed the hosta back to the round-faced maid.
The round-faced maid was a little disappointed, and was about to persuade her to buy it, when she heard a low, magnetic male voice from the side.
"This hosta is very suitable for Miss Qi."
Qi Tanying followed the sound and looked at the person, it turned out to be Wu Han, the son of the king of Pingning.
"I've seen the son." Qi Tanying blessed him, "The prince is also here to buy jewelry?" ”
Wu Han bowed, "Buy a birthday gift for my sister at home." ”
Qi Tanying remembered the little girl she saw in Changxing Wangfu that day, do so young children also like jewelry?
Perhaps seeing Qi Tanying's doubts, Wu Han explained, "It's not Yu'er who celebrates her birthday, it's another little sister." ”
I see.
Mrs. Qi, who was not far away, saw her daughter talking to a strange man, frowned, and walked towards the two.
After approaching, he asked Qi Tanying: "Can you pick your favorite hairpin?" ”
Qi Tanying shook her head.
Mrs. Qi's gaze fell on Wu Han's expression, "Who is this?" ”
Qi Tanying was about to introduce, Wu Han took the lead in revealing his identity, Mrs. Qi didn't remember who King Pingning was for a while, Qi Tanying added: "Wu Shizi is the cousin of the county lord of Qingyang. ”
Mrs. Qi's eyes lit up when she heard this, heh, she looks like a dog, and she is actually a relative of the Qingyang County Lord who took the marriage contract.
It's certainly not a good thing either!
Mrs. Qi has no smile on her face, others love the house and Wu, but she hates the house and Wu. Anyone who has anything to do with the Changxing Mansion and the Lord of Qingyang County, don't think about her good face.
She snorted coldly, pulled her daughter and left.
Qi Tanying turned around and smiled apologetically at Wu Han, and then followed Mrs. Qi to another counter.
Wu Han stared at her back for a few breaths, then turned his head to the round-faced maid and said, "I want this hairpin." ”
The round-faced maid hurriedly packed it in a box and handed it to him.
Qi Tanying didn't know that the hosta she liked was bought by Wu Han, and after leaving the counter, she lost interest and let Mrs. Qi choose a few pieces of jewelry for her.
After buying jewelry, Mrs. Qi took a few girls to the cloth village, she was full of energy to dress up her daughter, and under the recommendation of the cloth village shopkeeper, she chose a lot of expensive and elegant materials.
Back at Jiang's Mansion, Jiang Yi and Jiang Mei happily showed Mrs. Jiang their harvest today.
Jiang Yi got a red agate bracelet, a pair of pearl earrings, and a snow-blue smoke yarn. Jiang Mei got a gold-inlaid jade hairpin, a chrysoprase bracelet, and a water-green lake silk.
Although Dr. Jiang blamed his sister for breaking the bill, he was satisfied.
