After the shop opened, Luo was worried about the crops at home in Yangmei Village and didn't want to stay in the county for a long time, so she said she wanted to go home. Tian Minyan said that she didn't come to the county all year round and always wanted to take a good stroll. Moreover, Liu
The madam also sent someone to ask the girls to go shopping together.
There was a long-term worker at home, and there was also Bai Mei who was looking after him, so Luo Shi had no choice but to agree. After breakfast, he went out with Tian Minyan, Xiaowu and Xiaoxing Shaner, while Tian Huairen and Tian Minrui were afraid of being short of manpower.
Looking after it in the shop.
The agreed place was Duobao Pavilion in the county. When Tian Minyan and the others arrived, Liu Ye was already drinking tea in the inner hall, with Liu Ruyu and Aunt Zheng standing beside them.
Liu Ruyu had been looking outside, and when she saw the shopkeeper coming in with Tian Minyan and the others, she immediately smiled and stepped forward with a smile and bowed to Luo: "Ruyu, please give your regards to Aunt Tian."
"Oh, young master, please don't offend me and get up quickly." Luo Shi quickly helped him up and said angrily: "I told you, we farmers don't pay attention to formal etiquette, so we don't need to be so polite."
"It's not surprising that there are many people saying hello. He is a junior, so it's appropriate to say hello." Liuye said with a smile.
"The folk girl would like to say hello to Madam Liu, and wish Madam Liu long happiness and good health." Tian Minyan blessed her, and the two maids and Xiao Wu beside her also said hello.
"Okay, now you have shot yourself in the foot." Liuye turned his palms helplessly and hurriedly called a few people to get up.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Ruyu and Tian Minyan greeted each other again, smiling happily.
"Don't just stand there, why don't you come over and take a look at these jewelry?" Mrs. Liu Ye waved to Luo Shi, Tian Minyan and the others to sit down, and then said to the shopkeeper: "Mrs. Tian is too heavy to drink the cold tea, shopkeeper.
Get someone to make a cup of eight-treasure tea, and get some more delicious food for the kids to eat and play with."
"Yes, Mrs. Liu." The shopkeeper hurriedly asked the waiter waiting on the side to get snacks and other items.
"These jewelry are gold, silver and white jade. If you ask me, the eye-catching and fresh ones are those designed by you, Yan Yatou. Now I heard that the ladies and girls in Beijing are all following the new styles in Zhenbao Zhai.
, but you girl, you just give up when you see something good, and you don’t paint anymore." Ms. Liu Ye picked up a white jade hairpin and asked, "How about this one?"
The shopkeeper couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he caught Mrs. Liu's words, and asked hesitantly: "The new pattern jewelry that Mrs. Liu mentioned about Zhenbaozhai were painted by this girl?"
Liu Yeshi smiled and said: "No, Miss Tian has a pair of skillful hands and a smart mind. In my opinion, there are not many beautiful patterns in your jewelry shop that can match it."
"The old man also knows those patterns, and he thought they were painted by an expert, but it turned out to be the girl's skillful hands." When the shopkeeper heard this, he was very excited and said, "Girl, please also draw some patterns for our Duobao Pavilion."
, Zhenbaozhai will give you some money to buy it, and we will pay half of it."
The several patterns of jewelry produced by Zhenbaozhai are all beautiful. If their Duobao Pavilion has such patterns, they will definitely be able to make unprecedented jewelry and make a lot of money. Thinking of this, the shopkeeper seems to have seen something.
He looked at Tian Minyan like a money tree and said: "If you are willing, girl, I, Duobao Pavilion, would like to pay a lot of money to hire her to be my paving engineer."
Tian Minyan was so frightened by what he saw that she hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, I have only painted a few pictures, and I can no longer draw any more. Besides, I signed a contract with Zhenbaozhai. If I have new designs, I can only give them to him."
"That's it." The shopkeeper looked disappointed and said without giving up: "Girl, please think about it again. We can discuss the money."
"Look, there used to be hundreds of girls in every family, but now there are hundreds of skilled hands in every family. Looking at it like this, I also want to open a jewelry shop and let your daughter paint patterns." Mrs. Liu used
Covering her mouth with a handkerchief, she smiled at Luo Shi.
"She is not as good as you said, don't let her down." Luo Shi smiled gently, but his eyes were full of pride and joy.
"Grandma, you are so flattering to me. I am not as capable as you say. They are all imitations that cannot be put on the stage. When it comes to elegance and splendor, it can only be painted by such a century-old shop. Look at that red gold head and face, it is really
So beautiful and tight." Tian Minyan huffed modestly, pointing to a pair of red gold and sapphire headbands on the shelf behind the shopkeeper.
"You are so humble in front of me. Whoever comes out wearing such a headband or face on a normal day, these headscarves are just for display, or used to add makeup to the bottom of the box. As for the ones that are often worn, the ones you designed are better.
"Mrs. Liu glanced at it and didn't care much.
"No, our master also bought some of the jewelry designed by you, Miss Er, for our grandma." Aunt Zheng covered her mouth and said with a smile.
"You're an old guy who talks a lot." Liu Ye blushed and glared at her angrily.
"This slave deserves a beating." Aunt Zheng quickly slapped her mouth gently, making several people laugh.
"It is good for a husband and wife to love each other. It is rare that he still misses you when you are so far apart." Luo Shi said with a smile.
"That's it."
However, Tian Minyan noticed that Mrs. Liu Ye was darkened. She was afraid that there was some unknown inside story, so she quickly changed the subject and said: "Shopkeeper, I also want to add some jewelry, but I am not as rich as Mrs. Liu."
Master of silver, please bring me some beautiful and cheap silver jewelry to look at."
"Go, you girl, I just gave you the dividends from the preserved eggs a while ago, and now that you have opened a shop, you are not ashamed to say such a thing. Shopkeeper, don't listen to her, go get some red gold and jade articles.
Something suitable for a little girl." Ms. Liu Ye was amused by her and spat.
"Why."
While waiting, several people chatted while choosing jewelry.
When Mrs. Liuye heard Tian Minyan say that the Seventeenth Master was coming from behind, she couldn't help but was stunned and asked quickly: "Where are the others now?"
Tian Minyan was very surprised by her reaction and said: "I left after dinner." After thinking about it, she asked hesitantly: "Does grandma know Master Qi?"
Liu Ye took a deep look at her, smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "I recognize her."
"Then he..."
"Hey, bring it over here quickly." Ms. Liu Ye's sharp eyes saw the shopkeeper holding several boxes and opening the curtain to come in. He waved quickly and said to Tian Minyan: "You pick a few more. If the money is not enough, I will give them to you, little girl.
, but you can’t dress too plainly.”
Tian Minyan knew that she had changed the subject, so she had no choice but to answer with a smile. However, she was still doubtful. An idea came to her mind, but she was amused by her own idea. How could it be possible? She put aside the idea and concentrated on provoking it.
Jewelry comes.
Modern jewelry is fashionable and novel, but ancient jewelry is also unique and ingenious. The gold wire is as thin as a thin thread, and you don't know how to twist it out.
Tian Minyan herself has always dressed neatly. If this is not a formal occasion, she basically doesn't like to wear complicated jewelry, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like it. Women, even if they don't like to wear them, they also like to collect them, right?
Therefore, Tian Minyan chose a filigree red gold walking stick, a silver hairpin, and a pair of red gold bracelets for Luo Shi. Luo Shi was afraid that it would be too expensive and would cost her money, so she desperately said no. Finally, Tian Minyan said harshly: "Don't worry, mother.
, even if I don’t have money to pay, I can immediately draw a few patterns to offset the price of this bracelet.”
These words made the shopkeeper feel as if he had been given a shot of blood. He looked at Tian Minyan eagerly, and without saying a word, he used the jewelry picture to pay for the money.
Seeing him like that, Tian Minyan chuckled and thought to herself, does this mean that she is also a hard-to-find jewelry designer?
Several people picked out jewelry, and then a waiter came in and said, "Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Wen and Miss Wen are here outside. I heard you were here, so I came to say hello."
Soon, Mrs. Wen and Wen Wen came in. They greeted each other again and started talking. Wen Wen reviewed the jewelry Tian Minyan picked and chose a pair of silver pendant earrings for her.
Seeing Tian Minyan and the other two girls murmuring, Mrs. Liu sighed for a while: "It's better to be young. In the blink of an eye, we will all become old women."
"Madam, you are still young. To say this makes me and Mrs. Tian embarrassed." Mrs. Wen smiled gently.
"No, I'll just say she did it on purpose so that we wouldn't be embarrassed." Luo Shi teased in a rare playful way.
Among the three of them, Liuye is the youngest, followed by Luo, but Mrs. Wen is the older one. Because Luo has been working in the fields for many years, although he has become fair and plump in the past six months, he still looks tame.
Mrs. Wen is about the same age.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. Can you go have tea later and settle the debt with me?" Liuye said with a smile.
"You have to go to our first floor to have tea." Tian Minyan said hurriedly after hearing this.
"This little money-lover is still trying to get into trouble, and it's all about the business of his own shop." After hearing this, Mr. Liu Ye suddenly let out an angry voice, and everyone laughed.
"This child is so cheerful, and we love her so much. She doesn't have a playmate here. She thinks about it every day if Sister Tian lives in the county." Mrs. Wen glanced at Tian Minyan and said with a smile: "
Now that you have opened a shop, why not move to the county as well? I see that several yards in the county are being sold."
"We have a lot of land at home, and we have to take care of it all the time. I'm afraid I won't be able to move it for a while." Luo Shi smiled politely and said, "Besides, we farmers are used to busy work. If we don't visit the fields today, we will feel scratched in our hearts."
It’s like something, mumbling about it.”
"This is also the reason."
"Don't be afraid. When I earn money, I will buy a yard and we can come and live in the county for a few days." Tian Minyan added another sentence.
"This is a great love. Buy one as soon as possible." Wen Wenwen was very happy.
"Look at them, even if they are best friends, they won't be able to stay for long." Liu Ye took a look at Wen Wen, who was already dressed as a girl, and asked Mrs. Wen in a low voice: "But didn't you tell me?"
Mrs. Wen's heart moved, and she said with a smile: "Not yet, her father is just such a girl, and she takes care of her dearly. He said he would keep her for two more years."
"This girl will always be miserable if she stays here. I think your family is very gentle. If you have a good boy, you have to be careful." Mrs. Liu said.
"Well, did Mrs. Liu find out which family has children of the same age?" Mrs. Wen just followed the stick to catch snakes. After all, the Liu family is a big family. If Mrs. Liu can be a matchmaker, she won't be too bad.
.
"I do recognize a few, then..."
Although their voices were low, the inner hall was not big. They could not suppress such words. After hearing this, Tian Minyan opened her eyes to look at Wen Wen. She saw that her neck was red with embarrassment and her head was lowered almost to her chest.
Go, I couldn't help but chuckle.
Is this considered a political entertainment, a kind of communication between an official's wife and an official's wife? The most common one is to talk about the marriage of their children and act as matchmakers with each other.
While they were talking, another waiter opened the curtain and came in. They said they were Mrs. Fang from the city, Mrs. Zhang Yuanwai, Mrs. He Yuanwai, Mrs. Chen, and Lin Juren's wife happened to be in the shop to buy jewelry. They heard that Mrs. Liu and the magistrate's wife were here.
Everyone wants to come and say hello.
Tian Minyan was stunned and let out a sigh. It was self-evident whether it was a coincidence or intentional, but Mrs. He Yuanwai? She raised her eyebrows and asked if it was He Yongsheng's wife, and the child said yes.
Seeing her asking this, Mrs. Liu Ye asked what was wrong? Tian Minyan hurriedly told what the He family had done to Bai Mei. Mrs. Liu Ye was very unhappy after hearing this, and even Mrs. Wen frowned after hearing this.
"Except for Mrs. He, let a few others come in." Liu Ye said.
Soon, a strong smell of powder came in, and the ladies all greeted the two official ladies with smiles, chattering non-stop, which made Tian Min's head almost explode.
Some people said that it was noon when they saw it, and the wise people said that it would be better to go to the first floor to have tea and chat again. Liuye was also very noisy, so he agreed.
Instructing the shopkeeper to pack the jewelry and send them to Liu's courtyard and the first floor respectively, Liu Ye was surrounded by people and went out. Before she could walk out of the door, she was bumped into by a woman. When Tian Minyan saw it, she couldn't help but feel sad.
A sinking.
"Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Wen, and Mr. Huang Tian from the slave family would like to send greetings to the madam." Tian Huaifang took her two daughters to say hello to Mrs. Liu and the others, and the whole room was quiet.
"Huang Tian?" Liu Ye glanced at Tian Huaifang, then at Tian Minyan and the others. Seeing that their faces were not very good, she frowned.
"The slave family is the eldest sister of Tian Huairen, the owner of the first floor. Oh, the third brother and sister, Yan Yatou and Xiaowu are you here too? What a coincidence." After Tian Huaifang got up, she saw Tian Minyan and the others walking over with fake surprise and smiles.
He held Luo Shi's arm affectionately and said, "I was just going to go to your house to have fun, but I didn't want to run into you here."
Tian Minyan rolled her eyes and thought to herself, God, can you be more contradictory in your words? If you are looking for us, why are you here to greet Mrs. Liu again?
"Sister-in-law Tian, is this true?" Liu Ye asked Luo with a stiff face.
Luo Shi looked embarrassed and said stiffly: "This is my husband's eldest sister."
After Tian Huaifang heard this, she laughed so hard that she couldn't see her eyes. She thought to herself, you don't dare to deny me as your direct aunt in public. If you don't let us break into the circle of nobles, can't I find every opportunity to find her on my own?
