Article 295
The fifth lady looked at the sky, and unconsciously, she said so many things to Qingyi, she knew that she should go back, so she said goodbye to Qingyi, and only said one sentence when she left, "My mother doesn't elope, just because there is another me, now Luoyan doesn't ask for anything else, I just hope that when the third sister-in-law is fine, she can come to talk with Luoyan more, in addition, I hope that the third sister-in-law can also help Luoyan find a mother-in-law to marry as soon as possible, so that the mother will have no worries." ”
These words were so helpless that Qingyi couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart, and she felt very sympathetic to this fifth lady.
If Miss Fifth is dull and doesn't know everything, maybe she can live happily, but she is a smart person, everything around her is in her eyes, and her heart does not take her mother's actions as a matter of course, but because of family affection, she has to help pretend to be stupid and cover up.
Suffering, not just a suffering.
She didn't know what she could do to help Qi Luoyan, probably, in Luoyan's own words, it was to find a suitable in-law as soon as possible, which would be the real relief.
......
In any case, the matter of Ju'er's mother and son was resolved, and the matter of the fourth lady's affair was also settled.
Qingyi finally fell into a boulder in her heart, and without the torture of this trivial matter, she could finally open her mind and do what she loved.
Now, there are no secrets between her and Liu'er, except, of course, that she borrowed the corpse to resurrect her soul.
And she has been the behind-the-scenes boss of "Chen Liufu", and she started to run a business, and she only recently told Liu Er that Liu Er is a maid of a traditional family, and she obviously couldn't digest such a thing for a while.
In order to add a good helper to herself on the business road in the future, Qingyi decided to cultivate Liu'er, no, seeing that there was nothing to do for a day, she and Liu'er put on a hat, drove a carriage, and came to her own gold shop for the first time.
The furnishings in the gold store, is Qingyi in accordance with the memory of the general antique jewelry exhibition hall design, as soon as you enter the door, there is a majestic shape of the cat god in that shaking his arm, and then into the inside, although the space is not large, only forty or fifty square meters of size, is still divided into two rooms inside and outside, the outer is the exhibition hall, in this era, the manufacturing of transparent glass has been very skilled, Qingyi according to the size of the jewelry objects, the small point is a group of ten, the large point is placed independently, all locked in the glass cabinet.
There is a delicate counter in the corner, made of good elm wood, which is convenient for the shopkeeper to settle accounts and use the cashier. The inner room is the owner's lounge and utility storage room, so if you want to discuss your needs in detail, you can go to the inner room to discuss.
As soon as the two of them entered the store, only Steward Lin was watching, and Steward Lin was about to serve tea and pour water, but Qingyi stopped him, "Uncle Lin, you are busy with you, I just came over with Liu Er casually to take a look and pick out a few pieces of jewelry to wear during the Dragon Boat Festival." ”
Steward Lin continued the accounting work in his hand.
Besides, as soon as Na Liu'er entered the gold shop, she began to be dumbfounded.
Qingyi quipped, "It's not that I haven't seen rings and bracelets before, so why make such a fuss?" ”
Liu Er turned around and explained, "I've seen it, but I've never seen it so beautiful." Hey, ma'am, this hairpin...... Isn't it based on the picture you made? ”
Qingyi smiled, "You have vision." - Those bracelets, earrings, hairpins, etc., you can pick one at random, if you like it, count it in my account, and I bought it for you. ”
"Really?" Liu Er was overjoyed, and was about to pick, but suddenly remembered something, and stopped picking, "Madam, slaves and maids don't wear such things that don't match their status." ”
Qingyi looked at her funny, "What identity is not identity, I will give you one, and I don't let you pay for it yourself." ”
Liu Er refused, also because she had a reason to refuse, "Madame, have you forgotten that only a maid with a special status will wear gold and jade, such as that Ju'er in our house, who is the fourth son's maid in the room, and those who are ready to be accepted as concubines will wear gold hairpins." The slave doesn't want to be like that, if you really get a golden thing on your body, even if you don't, the house will point your fingers and poke at the back of the slave and maid to say right and wrong. ”
Hearing this, Qingyi almost burst out laughing, she pointed at Liu'er's forehead, "As far as your ghost mind is concerned, seriously, isn't it good to be a concubine for our son?" We can always be together in this life and not separate. ”
Liu Er blushed and didn't follow, "If you don't want to be a concubine for your son, you can stay by your wife's side for the rest of your life, isn't Aunt Jia like that." - Madame really wants to reward the slave and maid, so she can pick something cheaper, so that the slave and maid can wear it with peace of mind. ”
Qingyi convinced her, but knew that what she said was also very reasonable, so she pointed to a glass cabinet in the corner and said, "Look at you who are not blessed, go over there and pick it, the cabinet is all silver, but the style is also unique, pick it out, and wear it on your body." ”
Liu Er happily went over to pick, while Qingyi went to settle this month's account with Steward Lin.
Steward Lin said that a new batch of finished products was sent yesterday, and asked Qingyi if he wanted to take a look, it was natural, and he would check it together when he came, so that Steward Lin would take it back to the house for her inspection.
So, Qingyi followed Steward Lin into the small inventory room in the inner room to check, leaving only Liu'er outside to pick and watch the store.
Qingyi entered the inner room, and the Lin housekeeper just took out a new batch of finished products, at this time, a new recruit in the store suddenly came from the outside in a panic, and when he entered the door, he saw only Liu Er, and he knew that the Lin housekeeper was in the inner room, because he was newly recruited, and he was not the original servant in the Qi Mansion, so he didn't know Qingyi's master and servant, and only thought it was an ordinary guest, so he didn't salute or say hello, and directly opened the curtain and entered the inner room to report, "Lin Zhang refuses, the third son in the Qi Mansion is coming to our store!" ”
"Third son?" Steward Lin was very surprised, these three sons have never stepped into "Chen Liufu" once since they opened, why did the third young lady come for the first time on this day, he also came? So, he asked again, "Are you sure?" I don't think I'm just going this way, maybe I'm coming here. ”
The guy said with certainty, "Absolutely, I was going to come in, but because I ran into an acquaintance, I was pulled and talked for a while, so I didn't come in until now, but it's almost there." ”
Obviously, Liu'er in the outer room also heard it, and she subconsciously entered the inner room and exclaimed, "Miss-"
Qingyi shook her head and stopped her words, which meant that the guy who didn't know her would simply hide her identity, after all, she was now checking the inventory in the inner room, which was not something ordinary guests would do.
The guy also saw something strange, after all, Steward Lin was an old housekeeper and a person who had come over, and he immediately understood Qingyi's intentions, so he said to the guy, "What are you doing in a daze, this is the owner of our gold shop." ”
"The owner?" The fellow exclaimed, and then he was too busy to salute. "The little one doesn't know that the owner is so ......, the little Afan, please forgive the little one for not knowing Mount Tai."
Listening to his nondescript analogy, Qingyi smiled and let the guy get up, and then returned to Steward Lin, "Since there is a distinguished guest arriving, you can go and greet Afan, don't say to the guest that I am also here, if the guest is in need, solve it outside." ”
Steward Lin and Ah Fan both nodded yes, and then went to the outer room.
After a while, Qi Lianchen entered the door, and saw him walk in one by one, and saw the lucky cat god in front of him, and shook his arm like the cat god, and then began to look around, smacking his lips from time to time, and smiled at Steward Lin who was standing behind the counter, "Uncle Lin, this friend of my father has a good taste." ”
Steward Lin laughed, "Third son, why did you come here, what do you want, there is everything in the gold shop under the Qi family, here ......"
"I'm just curious, come and have a look." Qi Lianchen cut off his words, still looking around, "I have heard those people spread all over the gambling house, saying that this gold shop with the same name as me is robbing our Qi family's business." ”
Liu Er listened to it in the inner room, almost burst out laughing, Qingyi glared at her, she hurriedly covered her lips and continued to eavesdrop.
I heard Qi Lianchen continue, "Although I am not interested in business, I am also a descendant of the Qi family, so I naturally want to come over to see what our family's business rivals are like." ...... Of course, this is all for others, but mainly, I heard that the things here are chic, beautiful, and unique, so come and pick two and give them away. ”
As soon as they heard that he was going to give it away, Qingyi and Liu Er glanced at each other, and they all knew that the Dragon Boat Festival was coming, and it was rare for the daughters' families to find such an opportunity to go out openly, so they naturally wanted to dress up, so the person Qi Lianchen wanted to send was a woman nine times out of ten.
Liu Er pointed at Qingyi silently, meaning that the son is usually not serious, but he didn't expect to think so much about sending something to the young lady.
Qingyi shook her head and pursed her lower lip, meaning: Will he send me something? It's strange, it's a blessing not to knock a little bit from me, isn't it for the second young lady? No way! He won't do such a flamboyant and insulting thing to the family, so who else will it be?
The housekeeper of the outer Lin also happened to ask, "I don't know who the son is going to send, how old he is, and the old slave will also help you with the staff." ”
But Qi Lianchen fell on a golden step at this time, "Tsk, this thing is really familiar." ”
Steward Lin looked at it, and didn't realize what he meant by familiarity, but just explained, "Oh, Childe has a good eye, this is the only one in this batch of exhibits in this store, but Childe wants to buy this?" Well, this one is suitable for young women. ”
Qi Lianchen glanced up at him, and continued to look at the golden step, "Who said I was going to buy it, I mean this style is familiar, where have I seen it." ”
When Steward Lin heard this, he hurriedly fought for the patent copyright, "Childe said joked, you can't see it from other stores, this store of our owner is definitely the first store in the city to have such a style, and it has only been on the shelves for two days, even if others want to imitate it, it is not so fast, there is no time." ”
Hearing him explain such a bunch of things, Qi Lianchen began to wave his hand impatiently, "Uncle Lin, you are so verbose, Uncle Wang sells melons and boasts, and it is not you who boast like this, besides, I said that I have seen this style, but I didn't say that I have seen this style in other houses." - Okay, okay, I'll pick it myself, what should you be busy with. ”
Having said that, Qingyi listened to Qi Lianchen say this in the inner room, and couldn't help but think that on the day when the **** pushed the eldest son to the back garden, Qi Lianchen came to borrow money for himself, and the design on the drawings he put away when he was in a hurry was exactly that Jin Busha!
Qi Lianchen kept saying that he was familiar with it, but he didn't expect that this person's eyesight was so sharp and so sensitive to patterns. I thought he just felt good.
I just hope he won't remember that it was her drawing, let alone associate this "Chen Liufu" with her.
Just thinking about it, Qi Lianchen suddenly screamed strangely, "Yo, this hairpin is good, chic and not fancy, she doesn't like publicity, just buy a simple one, that's it, wear it on the day of the trip, she must be happy!" - Uncle Lin, wrap it up for me and buy it! ”
Hearing this, Qingyi and Liu'er in the inner room glanced at each other again.
Liu Er raised her eyebrows, and said in her heart: I don't like publicity, but don't you mean Miss You?
Qingyi lowered her eyes weakly, thinking: I don't like publicity, it seems that the second young lady is more suitable than her in this regard. But it is obviously unruly to send things to the second young lady, is it possible, is it really for her?
Qingyi thought about it again and concluded that it was still impossible.
In other words, Qi Lianchen wrapped a hairpin, and when he checked out, he argued with Steward Lin for a long time about the price.
"This thin rod of gold will be sold for forty taels of silver? Grab money, I gamble in the gambling house for a day, and I can't lose so much money! After roaring, he felt that he might be bragging, so Qi Lianchen smiled again and softened his voice, "Of course, most of the time you can't lose so much, and sometimes you will lose your level, hehe." - Uncle Lin, we are our own people, so can't we be cheaper? ”
Steward Lin shook his head, pointed to the paper hanging with thin ribbon on the golden hairpin, and said, "Did the third prince see the price on this note?" The store clearly marked the price, no bargaining, this is what our owner said. ”
His wife Lianchen glared at the note, and screamed strangely, "Can you still do this?" Acquaintances can't either? ”
"Nope."
"The master can't do it either?"
“...... No way. ”
"What about your hosts themselves?"
Steward Lin sighed helplessly, "Our host will only give more money." - Of course, if the third prince can spend 300 taels in the store at one time, the store will give the third son a 20% discount membership card, and the third prince will buy something in the store in the future, there will be a discount. ”
"......" period Lianchen ran out of options, carefully counted out the silver from the money bag, paid the money, received the goods, and then checked the brocade box containing the golden hairpin, and said to himself in a small voice, "Three hundred taels at a time?" It's enough to soak in the gambling house for ten days and ten nights and not come out, is it stupid to be a master? ”
Steward Lin didn't blink his eyelids, and bent down humbly, "Third son, you go well, welcome to come next time." ”
