Chapter 83

Famous Jewelry Store is located on East Street.

The shop is very stylish, three-storey high, with carved beams and painted buildings.

Go up three steps to a wide door.A buddy, standing by the door a long time ago.As soon as the car arrived, he went down the steps and asked, "Which house is it from?"

The driver said, "We belong to the Lin family!"

The guy smiled and said, "Mrs. Yan is waiting." After setting up the bench, Bei Fei got off the horse first, then turned around and came to Fu Lin Zhi Xiu.Lin Zhixiu put on a hat and got out of the car lightly.In the back, Dong Yun and Song Ma were holding several brocade boxes.

Another steward was greeted by the store. He was handsome, well-dressed, and behaved politely. Even his smile was standardized, "Please come in, girl!"

Lin Zhixiu led a few people into the store.

The steward smiled and said, "Miss, please go to the third floor, Mrs. Yan, and wait in the box."

Lin Zhixiu looked at the store through the yarn, and it was really impressive. If you have a chance, you must come and visit.

She went up to the third floor and entered the door. Lin Jiangwan sat inside, next to Yan Xin.

Lin Zhixiu saluted and called, "Auntie."

"Well, you're here." Lin Jiangwan's expression was light.

"Aunt Lao has been waiting for a long time."

Yan Xin was sitting next to Lin Shi, looking at her lightly.

Lin Zhixiu took off her hat, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.

Yan Xin suppressed the jealousy in her heart, and the two met Li.

Lin Zhixiu was as polite and polite to Yan Xin as Yan Xin was to Lin Zhixiu.

Lin Jiang saw it late, and he knew in his heart that this girl is really not close to herself and Yan Xin!My heart is even colder.

Lin Zhixiu sat down with a box on the table in front of him.There are also several boxes on the billboard next to it, which are the jewelry just shown to Lin in the store.

The female steward in the store, wearing a neat narrow-sleeved skirt, stood by the side with a smile.

Lin Jiangwan didn't want to waste time, and directly said to the guy who brought Lin Zhixiu up, "Please come over, Master Qin."

After the guy left, the female steward briskly tidied up the boxes on the table.

He signaled to Bei Xiang and Song Ma to put the box on the table.

The room was silent, and no one spoke.After a while the door opened, and an old man in a blue shirt walked up.

"Mrs. Yan!" He saluted respectfully.

Lin Jiangwan said, "Master Qin, I brought a few pieces of jewelry, which are different from ordinary ones. I want you to comment on them."

The master agreed, Dong Yun took the box to the case and found it, and Mammy Song opened it one by one.

Master Qin stood over and picked up one, his eyes lit up.

Others are very calm, and they have enough vision in this business for so many years.

After looking at a few pieces of jewelry carefully, he said, "Mrs. Yan, this jewelry also has a school. Our capital follows the Chen school. The area around Hangzhou in the south is the Liu school. More than 30 years ago, the Liu school had a skill An outstanding master, surnamed Bai, came out to set up a faction because of a disagreement with the Liu faction. The industry is commonly known as "Xiaobai faction". This master Bai pays attention to innovation and superb craftsmanship. The materials used are not as good as the other two factions. So exquisite. The few pieces in Madam's hands today should be made by Master Bai of the "Little White School" or his high-level disciples. You see, the materials of these pieces of jewelry are not special, but the shapes are amazing and the workmanship is even more complicated. Extremely."

Master Qin picked up the golden wheat ear hairpin again, tutted in his mouth, and nodded with admiration in his eyes, but in the end, he shook his head.

Lin Jiangwan said, "Oh, that's right! So how do the other two factions evaluate this little white faction?"

Master Qin said, "Don't hide it from my wife, praise and slander half and half."

"Oh?" Lin raised his eyebrows.

"If I like it, he always has endless ideas and can achieve what he wants. If I don't like it, he pretends to be mysterious and grandstanding. He tries his best to play tricks, but he doesn't know what it means."

Lin Shi didn't speak, but thought carefully.

"Just like this wheat ear hairpin, let's not say why he thinks... But looking at these wheat ears, it seems simple, but the craftsmanship is extremely complicated. In this gold, something is added to make the gold It is hard and shows this pure color. In the craftsmanship, there are various techniques such as casting, chiseling, knocking, sticking, pliers, inlaying, polishing and so on. These twelve hairpins also have different shapes. According to the craftsmanship , to be able to do this, it's because the master can't do it! Moreover, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time. But...you see, it's done, but it's like a grass mark." He smiled slightly.

Lin Jiangwan nodded silently.

Master Qin looked at it for a while and said, "However, ma'am, each genre has its strengths and weaknesses. It is inevitable that they will be mean and contempt for each other. Haha! So, the following views may not be correct. You still need madam, decide for yourself."

"Master Qin, can you do it?" the female steward next to him asked.

Master Qin nodded and shook his head again, "Actually, looking at it this way, the old man has learned and done these crafts. But after all, the genres are different, and the ideas are also different. The old man does not have the concept of such a finished product in his mind. , it may also be similar in shape but not in spirit.”

Lin Shi listened and nodded silently.

"As for this piece of jewelry, it can be seen that the owner of the jewelry has a high taste. What I like has jumped out of the idea of ​​wearing it, and pursues novel shapes and craftsmanship. This jewelry, whether it is It is a very interesting object to wear or keep for viewing.”

After Lin Jiang heard it late, the sourness in his heart came up again.

"Besides, the endurance is not low. Don't look at such a thing, it takes a long time and can't be cheap!" Master Qin also smiled bitterly. This is the evil interest of rich and idle people! "Moreover, its layout is also limited. If it is a more formal occasion, it may not bear enough weight..."

According to Lin Jiangwan himself, it is consistent with Master Qin's opinion.

But her original intention this time was to subvert her previous understanding...

But...that's in the palace, the empress dowager, the queen, the concubine who hides the knife in her smile... If the daughter is so provocative, will she look frivolous?Will someone get stabbed?If there is no good result in the end, people will be laughed to death.

At this moment, she hesitated.

"Madam, if you want to make these sets, you can't expect them to be exactly the same except in terms of design. In terms of shape and details, you can guarantee that there will be no problem. The materials are also available in the store. Only one set will be made, and it will take less than three months. , will be able to do it well. It's just... the cost is not low! At that time, whether it can get what you want, it will still need to be carefully weighed by Madam. "

Lin Jiangwan was still hesitating.

Master Qin said again, "I can understand a thing or two about Madam's thoughts below. In fact, there are still some things in the store, or just what the Madam asked, do you see?"

Lin Jiang nodded lately, "Let's take a look! You don't have to have these pieces." She was a little annoyed by Master Qin's affirmation of An's taste.

The guy in the store came in with a few more boxes.

Lin Jiangwan took a closer look and saw one item at a glance.This set is also very novel, and it is not as tangled as before.

Yan Xin, however, liked the other one, "Mother, my daughter likes this one. It's much better than the ones from my cousin just now."

Lin Jiangwan looked at it carefully for a long time, and felt that it was not bad. It was difficult to choose between the two sets.For some reason, this is the first time she has lost self-confidence since she was a child...

"Send both sets to my house." Lin Jiangwan was unwilling to choose again.

When the shop owner heard this, of course he was happy, and quickly smiled, "Thank you Mrs. Yan for the meal..."

Lin Zhixiu asked, "Aunt, why don't you do these sets?"

Lin Shi seemed to have just remembered her, and said, "Oh, your mother's treasure is the only one, it's not interesting to imitate it. I still have something to do, so I can't take you back. You can go back with the carriage at home."

After speaking, she got up and left.Yan Xin ignored her and left behind Lin Shi.

Lin Zhixiu went downstairs, the master and the servants, holding the jewelry, watched the carriage of the Yan family go away...

Lin Zhixiu felt sad in her heart, Lin Jiangwan was selfish and selfish, hateful and pathetic.Whatever the outcome will be in the future, I will remember this moment with a clear conscience.

what!Fortunately, I went back by myself, so I can finally see Uncle Fu!

Mammy Song directly gave the two taels of silver that the Lin family drove, and said to him, "It's rare to come out once, the third lady is going to go shopping. Don't talk too much when you go back."

Twenty taels of silver, for the driver, is simply a huge extra fortune that fell from the sky!At that time, he smiled and nodded, "You can tell me where you want to go, Miss! As long as you don't leave the city."

Song Momo smiled and said, "What city are you going out of, you can't see enough of so many shops?"

So they went to the inn run by Boss An.

She arrived without notice.

This inn, opened near the Ministry of Housing, is luxuriously decorated. Most of the officials who went to Beijing to run things live here, and the business in the store is very good.

When I got out of the car, I saw people coming and going, neatly dressed and with servants.

When the young man saw them and his party, he hurriedly came up and asked, "How many of you live in the store?"

Mammy Song said, "We are old friends of Boss An. Come and visit the store."

The guy hurriedly said, "Then wait a moment, the little one will invite you!"

Not long after entering, a middle-aged man rushed out.

Several people saw him and laughed out loud.

An Jianfu saw that it was indeed his own young lady, and hurriedly said, "Miss, why are you here? Why didn't you say anything, just a few of them?"

Lin Zhixiu smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, why are you nervous? Isn't it enough for them to follow?"

"No, no... ouch, come in, come in, come in."

As he let her in, he muttered, "This capital is full of people and cars, and it's very chaotic. You have to bring tidy people when you come out."

They went directly to a reception room inside, which was quite decently furnished.

Lin Zhixiu looked left and right, "Uncle Fu is very good here!"

"Uncle Fu works here on weekdays. If my uncle has something to do, he will come here to look for it."

"I heard what Uncle said! We have been doing well in the past two years." Lin Zhixiu was also very happy to see Uncle Fu.

"Yeah, yeah! Even the purchase of the palace's front yard was given to your uncle, and uncle gave it to Uncle Fu. This piece of money is a lot of money every year. I heard that the princess in the backyard has searched twice, but the uncle is not very good. I want to get involved."

"Yeah. Uncle follows the prince, and everything follows the prince's wishes. Let's not be greedy."

Lin Zhixiu saw that Uncle Fu was dressed in blue silk, dark blue and white shoes, with a purse and jade pendant. His hair was neatly combed, and he was wearing a staff towel. He looked rich and calm.

Lin Zhixiu really didn't know that Butler Lin loves dressing up so much.

"Well, Uncle Fu, you look very decent!"

Boss An smiled embarrassedly, "Come out to socialize, if you don't dress like this, you will be looked down upon."

"That's right, we earn so much money, don't we just enjoy it? How are Aunt Fu and the two brothers?"

"Okay! An Chaoyang, I have another little girl!"

Lin Zhixiu smiled and said, "Girl is good, I will pay her 100 taels of silver in the account later, and I will go find a golden lock and send it over."

Boss An smiled until his eyes narrowed, "Thank you girl, what's the use of such a little girl?!"

Lin Zhixiu said unhappily, "Girls should also be taken care of, but they can't prioritize boys over girls!"

Boss An quickly nodded, "No way!"

Lin Zhixiu said, "She has a good future in the future."

Boss An said, "Borrow the girl's auspicious words. When she is sensible, I will send her to your side and wait for you."

Lin Zhixiu said, "Okay! This girl will open her eyes to her."

After politely speaking, Boss An pointed to the box in the room, "I know that you are back, and everything is ready. Here is the directory of our property, contracts, and accounts. Those gold, silver and silver notes are all in the basement of my house. What you asked me to investigate, the property of those few people, had already been brought back to you by Mother Song last time. But what I know is only a rough idea. Especially the Huang family, she is very close to her brother. She My brother has been promoted again recently, and he is quite capable. It once caused some trouble for her business, but later it seems that her brother helped solve it. "

Lin Zhixiu smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, don't worry! Take your time, the first one is to ensure our own safety. I am very satisfied with what you have done over the years."

"That's good news from you, girl. It's all in the hands of people. We're not greedy, and the properties in our hands are very secure now."

Lin Zhixiu said, "Yes, money is endless, and insurance comes first."

The two got together to discuss things, only to hear An Jianfu say, "The two people have already arrived. Mrs. Wang, these days..."
