Xia Qingqing waved his hand, shook his head and said, "Do you understand the truth that there are people in the court who are easy to do?" This shop is under your name, presumably no one dares to find trouble easily, and I will give you the secret recipe for pastries, but also to be rewarded, if it sells well, I want the fourth floor of the bonus in your shop, are you willing? ”

"Yes"

"If you can buy the trust of the county lord, Xiao Wang is naturally willing," he said, he bowed and said: "Thank you to the county lord, such magnanimity, if there is really a day when I can live freely in the future, I must thank the county lord." ”

Hearing this, Xia Qingqing also understood.

returned the salute and said: "Then I wish the little prince all his wishes come true as soon as possible." Go to the fiefdom and live a free life.

"It's refreshing to talk to smart people, and I believe that you and I will one day get what we want." The three princes strode away with their heads held high.

"Since I came back from the autumn hunt, the young lady has not been out of the house much, and I have studied painting in the house every day, and the paintings are scattered all over the place, and I almost stepped on one when I went in earlier." Xiao Lan patted her chest with palpitations, "Since Miss has the heart to paint, it's better for us to bother less." I don't know who spread the rumor, but now the streets are talking about the emperor almost being in danger this time, and it was the eldest prince who did it. ”

Xiao Lu said: "Not only that, but some people say that the third prince fell into the water this time, obviously he was framed, since the third prince came back from the autumn hunt, he has always said that he is sick, I heard that His Majesty has sent the imperial doctor to several rounds, and has given countless precious medicinal materials, but it is not good, and it has become more and more serious recently." As he spoke, he looked around and whispered, "There are rumors that it will not survive the early winter of this year." ”

"It's strange to say, the emperor has never paid much attention to the third prince, and this time when he was sick, he frequently sent imperial doctors to come to diagnose and treat."

The two little maids were doing needlework in their hands, and their mouths did not stop, Xia Qingqing, who was sitting in the room, was painting, and heard their whispered conversation, thinking in his heart where the emperor suddenly attached importance to the three princes, obviously the rumors that began to spread first had a doctor, and then it became more and more intense, and the emperor made a move under the pressure of rumors.

"Master, the people we sent down have worked, and now the streets and alleys have begun to spread, and the emperor is paying more and more attention to you."

"What's the use of paying attention?" He smirked disappreciatively.

"It's just that not only that, but now there are also people talking about the emperor's distress this time." The henchman wants to speak and stops.

"The master of Qiqi, Miss Huayan, has arrived." There was the voice of a servant outside the door.

"Huayan, meet the third prince." I saw a woman strolling over, her skin was like congealed fat, and her eyebrows were like green daisies. With a white jade pendant on his waist, a white hosta on his head, and a Shu brocade embroidery, he knew at a glance that he was quite favored by the three princes.

The henchmen retreated, and only Hua Yan and him were left in the room, and the third prince said, "Get up!" ”

"Master, I have received a lot of news from my Red Leaf Pavilion recently. Several of the girls are now the concubines of the ministers of the court. According to the news they came back, the Holy One was extremely angry at the rumors, believing that we had spread them ourselves. ”

What do you think we're going to do next?

The third prince stood silent, and then said, "No matter what the emperor thinks? We've got to push him forward. ”

"Yes"

"Miss, you're out."

"I'm finally done drawing," Xia Qingqing walked out, stretching her waist, and as she moved, the joints on her body clicked. tells how tired she is these days. She held up the sketch in her hand and motioned to Xiaoqing and said, "You give these few to the craftsman and let him use gold to make the look I want." You take these pictures to the carpenter and carve them, and finally make pastries, let's try them first. ”

"Xiaolan, you still have to come to make pastries, you go to help Xiaoqing. Midori came in and gave me a massage to relax. ”

Several people whispered "yes" and immediately put down the needle and thread in their hands. Get busy.

Xiao Lu followed Xia Qingqing into the room. Xiao Qingqing collapsed directly on the bed. Midori cleaned her hands and gentle. His. The neck said: "Miss, it's been a hard few days. ”

Xia Qingqing sank deep into the pillow and muttered, "It's not hard, it's not hard, hurry up, it's finally over." After a while, when everything is ready, you can invite a few royal ladies to the door. ”

"I'm not worried about the pastry, after all, there is a little blue to help me, but I haven't painted the details of the crown for a long time and haven't painted what I want, it seems that I still have to recruit a few more painters with outstanding painting skills, and I will dictate them to write."

Xia Qingqing's voice became smaller and smaller. In the last few words, Xiao Lu didn't hear clearly, so he fell asleep.

Xiao Lu immediately helped him cover the quilt and walked out lightly. Xia Qingqing slept in the dark, and there was no movement near evening.

Xiao Lu and Xiao Qing who rushed back said, "Do you want to go in and wake up the young lady?" If I sleep again, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep at night. ”

Xiaoqing said: "Miss, I was busy until late at night yesterday, don't scream, let her wake up naturally!" ”

Xia Qingqing slept directly until the next morning, when she was woken up by hunger.

Then he got up slowly, and Xiao Lu outside heard the voice and walked forward quickly, and said Miss, you have finally woken up, and you are about to sleep at the right time, first help you pass the meal, eat something good to digest first! ”

Xia Qingqing was so hungry that she had some stomach pain and missed modern soda, if she could drink a glass at this time, presumably this, the stomach acid would be synthesized immediately.

Then he sighed again, where is the soda at this time? I couldn't help but say, "Let's pass the meal first!" ”

After a while, a meal was placed on the table, exuding bursts of sweet chicken stewed mushrooms, which immediately attracted her attention. Xiaoqing willingly scooped a spoonful of clear soup and put it in her bowl, "Miss, you just woke up, let's drink some soup first." ”

Here, Xiaolan walked in and said, "Miss, it's the fourth lady who is here." ”

"Qingqing, you finally woke up, I heard them say that you have been busy lately, and I don't know what you are busy with."

"Sister-in-law is here, let's eat some together!"

"When I was hunting in autumn, I asked a few princesses to make an ice rink and make all kinds of pastries, and invited them to the house to play and eat.

"What does this have to do with craftsmen? Didn't you pull the ice out of the freezer first? The fourth sister-in-law said suspiciously.

Xia Qingqing fell asleep secretly, and then said in the round, "It's to pull the ice out first, our garden is big enough, just in the martial arts training ground at the back, the craftsmen are playing the latest style of jewelry, I don't want to give them a few pieces of jewelry as they like." ”

"It's good to usher in the send-off, this friendship is from sending things again and again, go back and let the craftsman make it and show it to me, I can also help you staff and staff, the preferences of the noble women in the capital are nothing more than the same thing, or it is novelty and dust, or it is a valuable object."

Xia Qingqing affectionately took the hand of the fourth sister-in-law and said: "The variety is precious, we can't say it, but with a new word, it's no problem to think about it." I see that most of the noblewomen here wear some cumbersome delicate hairpins on their heads, and this time I asked the craftsman to tie a few necklaces around their necks. ”

"That's it."

Xia Qingqing paused when she said this, glanced at the fourth sister-in-law, and saw the fourth sister-in-law looking at her seriously, then coughed and continued: "It's made of gold." ”

The fourth sister-in-law immediately patted her little brain: "What, do you think you like gold, do you think that all the ladies of the family like gold?" That's too vulgar, I don't have a few pieces of good jade, why don't you let the craftsman make some beads out of jadeite, and it looks good on your neck. ”

"It's late autumn. Their clothes are also dark in style, with a gorgeous emerald green bead string, which will be more harmonious when you think about it. ”

Xia Qingqing covered her head and pretended to be in pain, "Sister-in-law, I haven't finished yet." This gold though is a bit clumsy in style. But the style I made was different, I made a thin clavicle chain with gold, and a huge pearl fell underneath. ”

"That Dongzhu will emit colorful light in the sun."

The fourth sister-in-law touched the jade bead chain around her neck with some confusion, "That thing is really as good as you say?" ”

"Quick, Xiaolan, bring the sketch I put on the table and show it to the fourth sister-in-law."

"This is called the clavicle chain and the beauty bone, I have shortened the jade necklace I wear daily by a small half, and it can also be mixed and matched with multiple necklaces, with a chic Dongzhu pendant that can be replaced, which will not look cumbersome and can be matched with multiple pieces of clothing, enhance the temperament and add details at the same time."

"The beauty of the clavicle chain lies in its unassuming and simple low-key, and it can also be replaced with ruby, jadeite, tourmaline and other precious pendants at will, which is in line with the pursuit of small and precious women of the family, and does not lose the pursuit of status symbols."

Xia Qingqing was gushing endlessly, and the fourth sister-in-law kept flipping through the manuscripts and the scenes appeared in her mind, she continued, "And we can also open a purchase limit, regularly bring forth the new, and most of the families who are good friends with our family are women of the right age, and they will definitely not worry about selling." ”

"When these things are made, the maiden families of several sisters-in-law must be the first to wear them, and I am sending them to a few princesses, and it will soon cause a trend."

"The pricing should not be too low, at least one hundred and eighty taels of silver, and the threshold can be set up from the price to screen out the common people, and so on to open affordable jewelry in the future, replace the precious jewelry with shells, or the general size is almost the same, no artificially polished pearls, and weave them into bracelets, the main style is called special-shaped baroque."

"The price is about ten taels of silver, so that wealthy people can afford it."

"I think that the first-class maids of our people's families are two taels or three dollars a month, and seven or eight taels for ordinary people is enough for a year's expenses." The fourth sister-in-law sighed.
