Chapter Twenty-Six: Golly

Xie Youwei's eyes flickered, and he reached out and clicked on a hairpin.

"This one is not bad, can you show it to me?"

Xie Youwei nodded to a hairpin inlaid with red jade.

The woman listened to Xie Youwei's words and hurriedly handed the hairpin to Xie Youwei's hand.

Xie You lowered his head slightly and began to look at it.

She also saw this hairpin in the Jewel Pavilion, but now the hairpin in her hand is much worse than that of the Jewel Pavilion, and the red jade is not as translucent and good-looking as the Jewel Pavilion.

It looks like gold-plated gold.

Xie Youwei looked at it, and the woman on the side said with a wry smile.

"This hairpin is not pure gold, just a gold-plated hairpin, the red jade on it would have looked better if it was made of blood jade, but we really don't have so much money, so we used inferior red agate, if the girl wants it, you can take it cheaper."

The woman's tone was low, and she looked at Xie Youwei nervously.

Xie You raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"How much are you going to sell?"

"If the girl wants it, take it for three taels of silver."

Three taels of silver, equivalent to six hundred yuan in modern times.

Xie Youwei remembered that the price of the hairpin she saw in the Pearl Jade Pavilion was ten taels of gold, which directly doubled several times.

Seeing that Xie Youwei didn't speak, the woman sighed.

"The girl is not satisfied with the price, or the girl will say a price?"

Xie Youwei looked in the direction of the woman.

The little girl at the bottom pulled the hem of Xie Youwei's clothes.

"Beautiful sister, if you like it, you can buy it."

The little girl's eyes were big, but her cheeks were a little thin, and her face was a little malnourished yellow.

The woman sighed.

"This girl, I didn't mean to sell miserably, but the current situation is a bit special, the child's father ......"

In the middle of speaking, the woman suddenly choked up and did not continue.

Xie Youwei sighed.

"Don't you think about selling the store out?"

The woman sighed.

"I thought about it, but my family didn't agree, this shop was his life's work, and he said that even if he died, he didn't want to sell the shop."

"I want this hairpin." Xie Youwei handed out three taels of silver, bent down and put it on the little girl's hand, then straightened up and looked at the woman, "I want to talk to you about a cooperation, is it okay?" ”

The woman looked at Xie Youwei in surprise.

"Cooperation? And me? ”

"Yes." Xie Youwei nodded, "I'll make the design draft, you will do it, and I will sell it on your side." ”

Xie Youwei could see that with the same style, although the material inside the mandarin hairpin was not as good as that of the Zhuyu Pavilion, the craftsmanship of the production was a few points stronger than that of the Zhuyu Pavilion, and many small details were much more exquisite than the hairpins in the Zhuyu Pavilion.

With those details, Xie Youwei can basically determine that the plagiarism is Zhuyu Pavilion.

There was a look of surprise on the woman's face, but then it dimmed.

"It's not that I don't want to, this young lady should have seen it too, our side is completely unable to open the pot, and there is no spare money to pay for your ......"

Xie You smiled.

"Let's go inside and talk."

The woman nodded, motioned for the little girl to look at the store outside, and walked towards the backyard with Xie Youwei.

Walking on the road, Xie Youwei knew the woman's name.

The woman's name is Gao Li, and she married her current husband very early.

Her husband's surname is Lin, his name is Lynch, and he was a craftsman in the Jewel Pavilion a long time ago.

"Did you use the money from the Jade Pavilion to buy this shop?"

Gao Li smiled bitterly.

"Half and half, after the Pearl Jade Pavilion changed the current owner, it has greatly reduced the wages of the craftsmen, and my family has the idea of wanting to go out and work alone, and began to buy some materials to sell to other shops, and I have saved some money back and forth, and then I met a nobleman, and I took a fancy to his craftsmanship, and invited him to play a set of noodles with a young lady who was going to become a monk in their house, and the salary was very high, which was enough for us to buy the current shop."

Xie Youwei touched the hairpin he had just received in his hand.

"What about their rumored plagiarism of Mandarin Duck Hide?"

Hearing Xie Youwei's question, the woman's face showed a little indignation.

"It's obviously their Jewel Jade Pavilion villain in front! Those jewelry were all created by Lynch when he was in the Jewel Pavilion, and the Jewel Pavilion probably noticed it at that time, but he didn't say anything, but after we opened the Mandarin Duck Hairpin and started business, the Jewel Pavilion launched the same jewelry! ”

"We don't have any money, so most of the jewelry can only be made of gold-plated, Zhuyu Pavilion can be made of pure gold, Zhuyu Pavilion said that our Mandarin Duck Tibetan plagiarism materials are poor, their store name is so big, a little publicity, our Mandarin Duck hairpin's bad reputation spread all over the streets and alleys......"

"Lynch has made jewelry all his life, spent so much effort, where can he stand this kind of grievance, he fell ill in a fit of anger, we put all the money into the mandarin duck hairpin, almost nothing, there is no money to catch medicine, so we can only sell these jewelry here cheaply."

Xie Youwei looked at the tired look on the woman's face and sighed slowly.

"The pair of mandarin duck hairpins in the Pearl Jade Pavilion are yours."

At the mention of the pair of hairpins, the sadness on the woman's face was even worse, and her voice was choked and trembled.

"Yes."

"That pair of mandarin duck hairpins was personally punched by Lynch for me a few years ago, it was brought when I got married, and it was also the bride price that Lynch gave me, but I don't know when, it was stolen by the Pearl Jade Pavilion, and it was said that it was not for sale! And changed the name! ”

Gao Li wiped tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I went to the Jade Pavilion several times to get it back, but every time I was kicked out......"

Xie Youwei couldn't help but reach out and pat Gao Li's shoulder for comfort.

She knew all of this.

Gao Li was kicked out of the Jade Pavilion this afternoon, and everyone around her commented negatively about Mandarin Duck Hairpin and Gao Li.

It took Gao Li a long time to restrain her emotions and smiled embarrassedly at Xie Youwei.

"I'm sorry to make the girl smile."

"That's the case with our mandarin duck hairpins, girl...... Do you really want to work with us? ”

Xie Youwei nodded.

"I'll pay to cure your husband's illness first, and I don't need you to pay money for my design draft, and we will share the profits when the time comes, we will divide the profits, we will be four or six, I will be six and you will be four, is it okay?"

Golee had a bit of a dazed look on her face.

"But in the case of our mandarin duck hairpin, there is no way to make much money, but I am afraid that the girl will not even be able to earn back the capital......"

Under the veil, Xie Youwei hooked his lips.

"You don't have to worry about this, leave it to me, the sales will come up."
