Chapter 166: Gifts
Because it was the New Year, it was to look festive, so Song Anning was wearing a red brocade jacket tonight, covered with a red fox fur cape.
Although the decoration on the head is mainly green, it is also decorated with a little red beads, and the center of the forehead is wearing the most popular red flower, which looks delicate and lovely, and has a thrilling beauty.
The pearl hairpin picked by Pei Qingyan is indeed not precious, but the workmanship is very good, inserted in her hair, it seems to be the same as her own, it does not look abrupt at all, but just right, one more point looks vulgar, and one less point is like something missing, and the empty is not symmetrical enough.
Song Anning was stunned.
The little girl who was holding her next to her was also stunned, realizing the identity of the man opposite, the little girl didn't dare to squeak, so she could only hold her breath and silently lead people back.
It didn't take long for only Song Anning and Pei Qingyan to be left on the verandah.
Pei Qingyan looked at the girl in front of her, although she had been married, she had not had a relationship with Jiang Hua, she had reconciled with Jiang Hua, whether from the perspective of the law or personally, she was now free.
If he could, Pei Qingyan really wanted to show her his heart now.
But he knew he couldn't.
He smiled and said, "It looks good, it flatters your outfit today." ”
Song Anning felt a little strange.
She touched the hairpin on her head and wanted to take it off, but was stopped by the man.
"Don't move."
Song Anning frowned, "I didn't prepare a gift for you." ”
Pei Qingyan looked at her, his eyes fell on a piece of jade pendant hanging from her waist, and he reached out and pulled it off.
"Then take this."
Song Anning: "......"
The man took the jade pendant in his hand and left with a smile.
Yahuan walked over quietly.
"Miss......"
Song Anning grinds his teeth.
Yahuan didn't know what to say, such a scene was beyond her imagination, a man gave a woman a pearl hairpin, according to their hometown, yes, that's what it means......
Therefore, Yahuan was very worried.
I don't know how Song Anning should respond.
Unexpectedly, Song Anning gritted his teeth for a while, but he just took off the bead hairpin, and said hatefully: "This business is really worth it, my jade pendant is the best Hetian jade!" ”
Yahuan: "......"
Song Anning is missing a tendon.
Yahuan is not good at reminding her too much.
So, it was originally a romantic confession, but in the end, it was ignored by Song Anning's heartache due to the loss of a good jade pendant.
Pei Qingyan still had official business, so he had to leave the next day.
Before he left, he specially sent someone to release the news that the border map of the Southern Tang Dynasty had fallen into the hands of the embroidery department, which Pei Qingyan specially took out from Lin Feng, and had nothing to do with Song Anning.
Those Southern Tang spies will not come to trouble Song Anning again.
And the Emperor of Jingzhong can also use this map to negotiate with the Southern Tang Dynasty, let them be honest for the time being, give Dayuan a chance to breathe, and go all out to fight against the northern enemy.
Time flies by in the melting of snow and ice.
In the blink of an eye, Song Anning has been home for more than two months.
The snow and ice faded, and the sun emerged from the thick clouds, casting a warm golden glow onto the earth.
Song Anning went out in a carriage, driving Donglai that she brought out from Jiang's mansion, and the carriage was accompanied by Holly and Poria.
Since he came back, except for the elders in the clan, no one else has said anything about Song Anning, the woman who has left her parents' home.
Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the winter is too cold and she rarely goes out.
Now that the weather is gradually getting warmer, Song Anning doesn't want to get married for the time being, and has nothing to do, seeing that his parents and brothers are busy, he took the initiative to ask Ying to help his mother take care of the shop.
Shen Jiao was still a little worried.
After all, although she had studied with herself for a period of time before, she had never managed the shop alone.
But after she compared Song Anning's common sense in the business field at home, she found that her daughter was much more capable than she imagined, not only did she still remember the things she taught her before, but she even learned many new ways of management and bookkeeping, not to mention giving her a shop now, even if it was ten, Song Anning should be able to take care of it.
Shen Jiao herself is doing business outside, so she doesn't look down on women and doesn't allow women to go out to do business.
Song Anning let her go out if she wanted to go out, except for a few more guards around her, everything else was no different from an ordinary man.
Song Anning came to his shop.
The steward in the shop had already received the news that the eldest lady was coming over to investigate, so he brought his men to wait at the door early, and when he saw Song Anning's carriage coming, he hurriedly smiled and stepped forward, "Eldest Miss, you are here." ”
Song Anning nodded.
After getting out of the carriage, he led the people to the shop.
It's a bookstore.
Qingzhou is actually not too far from the capital, and there are many readers, so the business of the bookstore is naturally good.
It's just that Dayuan has not yet popularized printing, and most of the books sold are handwritten, I heard that there are them in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but the printing cost is very high, although the efficiency is fast, but it is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Song Anning thought about it and felt that for the sake of long-term planning, he still had to send someone to the Southern Tang Dynasty to learn more advanced printing techniques.
You may not be able to make much money in a short period of time, but after a long time, if you still want to spread the book, you must learn more advanced technology, otherwise in the future, the printing technology of the Southern Tang Dynasty will be done, if everyone goes to the Southern Tang Dynasty to buy books, or other merchants in the Dayuan country learn this printing technology, then their business will not be done.
However, this matter is not in a hurry, it takes time to select people and arrange the matter of going to Nantang, so we can only wait for the future to find a good candidate and then arrange the route.
Song Anning stayed in the store for most of the day.
Near noon, when I was going out to eat, I suddenly met an acquaintance at the door.
That is the granddaughter of the Song family's house, the same generation as Song Anning, with a single name and a month.
Song Yue's family is also in business, but unlike Song Anning's family, Changfang's side is mainly engaged in restaurant business.
It's just that the long house is not good at operating, for so many years, the business is not only not getting better and better, but it is getting worse and worse, if it weren't for the help of Song Anning's father, Song Hexing, who has three rooms, I am afraid that he would have returned to poverty from a rich businessman a long time ago.
And Changfang's uncle, that is, Song Yue's father, was also admitted to Xiucai 20 years ago, so he married the daughter of the local private school Mr. as his wife, originally thought that since he could be admitted to Xiucai at a young age, he would definitely be able to win the exam in the future, but he didn't expect that this exam has been in the exam for more than 20 years, and he has repeatedly failed the list, and now he is in his forties, and he is just a Xiucai.
Frustrated in the examination room, the uncle of the Song family fell in love with drinking, and when he went home drunk every day, he quarreled with the eldest lady of the Song family.
