"Sister Frost, are you blushing?" Zeng Hui was a little surprised at first, and then immediately reacted.

"Am I blushing? That must be hot. ”

Geng Xingshuang did feel a little hot.

Zeng Hui laughed and said slowly: "A few days ago, my father and mother asked the Yuan'an Dart Bureau to bring a letter over, and there were two hundred taels of silver tickets with the letter, and my mother explained in the letter, saying that your birthday is coming, let me help her buy a birthday gift on her behalf to you, saying that she is far away in Peng County, and I don't know what kind of fabric, what style of clothes, what kind of jewelry is fashionable in Ningdu City now, and even if you know, Pengxian County is small, and you may not be able to buy what you like, so I simply let the dart team bring silver over, I told you to choose a good birthday gift for you. ”

Zeng Hui said, smiling slightly, "You also know, in the past two years, I have almost stayed at home with my sister, although I have heard people talk about what is fashionable outside, but I don't believe in my own vision, you can paint clothes, and you also run the Ming Dress Pavilion, I didn't think about buying clothes, clothes and jewelry are all dressed up people, the so-called all-in-one, so I thought about it for a while, or made an appointment with you, the main owner, and we chose together." ”

Geng Xingshuang didn't expect it to be the intention of her future mother-in-law, and she was so generous, she directly gave two hundred taels of silver, just for her first birthday.

"Two hundred taels, it's too much." Geng Xingshuang looked at Zeng Hui and knew what the reason should be.

"The grievances you suffered in the Yang Mansion before, the second master and I both wrote to tell my father and mother."

After Zeng Hui finished speaking, she looked at Geng Xingshuang's thoughtful appearance, and hurriedly explained: "Sister Shuang, don't misunderstand, my mother thinks that you have been wronged and wants to compensate you, but I don't think that the birthday gift of two hundred taels of silver is enough, at the end of this year at the earliest, and at the beginning of spring next year at the latest, my father and mother should return to Ningdu City, and my mother said that she will definitely seek justice for you at that time."

Geng Xingshuang often went to Yang's house when she was a child, and she was very familiar with the second master Yang and the second lady Yang, especially her mother and the second lady of Yang Hu Fengwei were friends in the girl, and it was because of this that she and Yang Tianmo would have been married since childhood, although Aunt Hu has been going to work with the second master Yang over the years, and does not often return to Ningdu City, but the two families have not broken off contact, she still remembers Hu Fengwei's beautiful face and hearty laughter.

Regarding Zeng Hui's statement that Hu Fengwei said in the letter that she would come back to help her seek justice, Geng Xingshuang did not pretend to refuse, but only asked Zeng Hui, "Sister Zeng, do you need to send a letter to Peng County recently, I will also write a letter to thank Aunt Hu for giving me a birthday gift." ”

"Ten days later, there is a dart team from the Yuan'an Dart Bureau going to Yuzhou Mansion, and you can let the people of the dart team go to Pengxian County, and you will give it to me after you write the letter...... You don't need to give it to me, just give it to Uncle Six, he is very familiar with the big owner of the Yuan'an Dart Bureau. ”

After saying the purpose of coming to the Treasure Pavilion this time, Zeng Hui asked Geng Xingshuang to pick a style for the album.

Geng Xingshuang looked at one of the red gold butterfly hairpins painted with red gold, and asked the guy, "How much does this one cost silver?"

"Eighty taels." Dude said.

Geng Xingshuang looked at a red gold twisted water ripple bracelet again, counting silver coins according to weight, the lightest one cost thirty taels, and the heaviest one cost eighty taels.

"Girl made these two?" The guy smiled and narrowed his eyes.

At this time, he did more than 100 taels of business.

Geng Xingshuang shook his head and said to the guy, "Can you use your pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?"

The guy was stunned, but the guys in the Treasure Pavilion were all trained, and he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, girl, please wait a moment."

After a while, the guy presented a complete set of the four treasures of the study and the various pigments required by Geng Xingshuang.

Geng Xingshuang looked around the store, found a table and chair in the corner for customers to rest, and was still empty, walked over, and laid paper and ink.

Zeng Hui reacted, "Sister Shuang, do you want to draw jewelry patterns by yourself?" ”

Geng Xingshuang nodded, "When I just looked at the album, two pictures suddenly popped up in my heart, I drew them to see, if it is not good-looking or can't be made, I will directly select it in the album." ”

Geng Xingshuang just looked at the album, there were a few phoenix hairpins, Geng Xingshuang suddenly thought of Hongfu and Luxi in his heart, and felt that it would be quite interesting to make a pair of headdresses with the two of them.

She was skilled in painting and had a deep sense of craftsmanship, and soon, two golden hairpins with the heads of the spirit hooves jumped on the paper.

One is a spirit hoof with a little red on its head, holding its head high, looking up to the sky and roaring, that arrogant and complacent demeanor is lifelike, and the other is a spirit hoof with a pinch of green feathers on its head, standing on one leg on the hairpin, wings spread, as if the next moment is about to flutter its wings and soar in the sky.

The two paintings, the two spirit hooves, are the same size, except for the different colors of the feathers on their heads and different postures, they all seem to be the same, but there is no possibility of being mistaken, because their expressions and habits are completely different, so that people can easily distinguish them from the paintings.

"These two birds are so smart!" Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

"This is the spirit of the bird, it is too spiritual, vivid, if you really make jewelry according to these two pictures, it is like there is really a red feather on the top of the head, and a green feather on the top of the head These two birds, standing on the bun in general, it is really interesting to think about."

Someone else said, looking at the painting with not only amazement, but also longing.

It turned out that when Geng Xingshuang was painting, some guests had been attracted to come here to watch.

Geng Xingshuang asked Zeng Hui first, "Sister Zeng, what do you think?" ”

Zeng Hui was already stunned, she felt that these two jewelry patterns were better than the jewelry patterns on the whole album they had seen before, and they were more spiritual, listening to Geng Xingshuang ask herself, she nodded hurriedly, "It's good-looking, just do it according to this, when my mother comes back and sees it, she will definitely feel very good." ”

Geng Xingshuang then asked the guy, "Little master, can you type out these two pictures?" ”

When Geng Xingshuang finished painting the first picture, the guy consciously called Master Mo, the goldsmith of the Treasure Pavilion, over, Master Mo was busy, and he was still a little unhappy when he was called over by the guy, but at this time, seeing such two pictures, those unhappy emotions had already disappeared.

"Girl, can you show me the picture?"

The guy hurriedly introduced Master Mo's identity, saying that he was one of the best masters in the Treasure Pavilion.

Geng Xingshuang nodded and handed the picture to Master Mo.

Master Mo looked at it for a while before he said, "It's a little difficult, but when I think about it, I should be able to do it."

Geng Xingshuang was not too excited, she had painted this painting, and originally thought that if it could not be made into jewelry, it would be good to let the embroidery girls embroider on their clothes.

Zeng Hui was very happy, and hurriedly asked, "How long will it take to get it, and can it be done in a month?" How much money do you need? ”

It will take time for Master Mo to answer, but the money is not something he and his buddy can decide, but the movement here has already attracted the chief steward of the Treasure Pavilion, whose surname is Kan, shrewd and capable, and he has already understood the matter clearly.

When Master Mo looked at him, he unhurriedly pulled the abacus beads a few times and said a number, "One hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver." ”

Zeng Hui originally thought that if the silver was not enough, she would add it herself, and no matter what, she couldn't let Geng Xingshuang pay the silver herself, but now she was relieved to hear that it hadn't exceeded two hundred taels.
