my wife is wonderful

Chapter 166 Draw it yourself

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

"Am I blushing? It must be hot."

Geng Xingshuang did feel a little hot.

Zeng Hui chuckled and said slowly: "A few days ago, my father and mother asked the Yuan'an Escort Bureau to bring a letter. There were 200 taels of silver in the letter. My mother told me in the letter that your birthday was coming soon. I bought her a birthday gift to give to you on her behalf. She said that she was far away in Pengxian County and didn’t know what kind of fabrics, what kind of clothes, what kind of jewelry were fashionable in Ningdu City now. And even if she knew, Pengxian County You are young, and you may not be able to buy what you like, so I simply asked the escort team to bring the money and told me to choose a good birthday gift for you. "

Zeng Hui said and smiled slightly, "You also know that in the past two years, I have almost stayed at home to take care of Sister Ran. Although I have heard people talk about what is fashionable outside, I don't really believe in my own vision. You I can draw clothes myself, and I also run Mingshang Pavilion, so I didn’t think about buying clothes. Clothes and jewelry are all for dressing up, so I thought about it and gave you as the rightful owner. Make an appointment and we’ll choose together.”

Geng Xingshuang didn't expect that it was her future mother-in-law's wish, and she was so generous, giving her 200 taels of silver just for her birthday.

"200 taels is too much." Geng Xingshuang looked at Zeng Hui and knew there must be some reason for this.

"Second Master and I have written letters to tell my father and mother about the injustice you suffered in the Yang Mansion."

After Zeng Hui finished speaking, looking at Geng Xingshuang's thoughtful look, she hurriedly explained: "Sister Shuang, please don't misunderstand me. My mother feels that you have been wronged and wants to compensate you, but she does not feel that the 200 taels of silver are Your birthday gift is enough. At the earliest by the end of this year, or at the earliest by the beginning of next spring, your father and mother should return to Ningdu City. Mother said that she will definitely seek justice for you by then."

Geng Xingshuang often went to Yang's house when she was a child, and was very familiar with Master Yang and Mrs. Yang. In particular, her mother and Mrs. Yang, Hu Fengwei, were close friends. It was precisely because of this that she and Yang Qingmo had been dating since childhood. Although Aunt Hu had been on assignment with Mr. Yang in recent years and did not return to Ningdu often, the two families had not stopped contacting each other. She still remembered Hu Fengwei's beautiful face and hearty laughter.

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

"Ten days later, the Yuan'an Escort Bureau has an escort team going to Yuzhou Prefecture. You can ask the escort team to go to Peng County. After you write the letter, give it to me... You don't have to give it to me, just give it to Uncle Liu directly. He and We are very familiar with the boss of Yuanan Escort Agency."

After explaining the purpose of coming to Zhenbao Pavilion this time, Zeng Hui asked Geng Xingshuang to choose a style from the album.

Geng Xingshuang looked at one of the red gold and emerald butterfly hairpins and asked the clerk: "How much silver does this one cost?"

"80 taels," said the waiter.

Geng Xingshuang looked at another red gold twisted silk water ripple bracelet, and calculated the money according to the weight. The lightest one cost 30 taels, and the heaviest one cost 80 taels.

"Girl, these two things are made to order?" The clerk smiled and narrowed his eyes.

This time, I did more than 100 taels of business.

Geng Xingshuang shook her head and said to the clerk: "Can I use your pen, ink, paper and inkstone?"

The clerk was stunned for a moment, but the clerks in Zhenbao Pavilion were all well-trained. He immediately nodded and said, "Yes, sir, please wait a moment."

After a while, the waiter presented a set of the Four Treasures of the Study and the various paints Geng Xingshuang requested.

Geng Xingshuang looked around the store and found an empty table and chair in the corner for customers to rest. She walked over and laid out paper and polished ink.

Zeng Hui reacted, "Sister Shuang, do you want to draw the jewelry pattern yourself?"

Geng Xingshuang nodded, "When I was just looking at the picture album, two pictures suddenly popped into my mind. I'll draw them and have a look. If they don't look good or can't be done, I will just choose them from the album." Geng Xingshuang just looked at the picture album. There were several phoenix hairpins, and Geng Xingshuang immediately thought of Hongfu and Luxi, and thought it would be quite interesting to make a pair of headdresses out of them.

She is skilled in painting and has profound painting skills. Soon, two golden hairpins with spiritual swan hairpin heads jumped out on the paper.

One is a spiritual swan with a little red on its head, holding its head high, looking up to the sky and roaring, its arrogant and contented expression is lifelike, and the other is a spiritual swan with a bunch of green feathers on its head, standing on one leg. Yu Chai's wings spread out, as if he was about to flap his wings and soar into the sky in the next moment.

The two paintings, two spiritual swans, are the same size. Except for the different colors of the feathers on their heads and the different postures, they seem to be the same. However, there is no possibility of being mistaken because their expressions and habits are completely different. People can easily tell it from the painting.

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

"This is not a bird spirit. The painting is so smart and lifelike. If you really make jewelry according to these two pictures, it would be like one with red feathers on its head and the other with green feathers on its head. It's like a bird standing on top of a bun, which is really interesting when you think about it."

Someone else said, looking at the painting not only with wonder, but also with desire.

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

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

Zeng Hui was stunned. She felt that these two jewelry pictures were more beautiful and more spiritual than the jewelry pictures in the entire picture album they had seen before. When Geng Xingshuang asked herself, she nodded quickly, "It looks good. Just do it this way, and when mother comes back and sees it, she will definitely feel very good about it."

Geng Xingshuang then asked the clerk, "Master, can you type out these two pictures?"

When Geng Xingshuang finished drawing the first pattern, the clerk consciously called Master Mo, the goldsmith of Zhenbao Pavilion, over. Master Mo was busy and was a little unhappy when the clerk called him over. But now he saw this Two pictures later, those unpleasant emotions have long since disappeared.

"Girl, can you show me the picture?"

The waiter quickly introduced the identity of Master Mo, saying that he was one of the best masters in Zhenbao Pavilion.

Geng Xingshuang nodded and handed the picture to Master Mo.

Master Mo looked at it for a while and then said: "It's a bit difficult, but I should be able to do it after I think about it."

Geng Xingshuang was not too excited. After she finished the painting, she originally thought that if it couldn't be made into jewelry, it would be quite good to let the embroiderers embroider it on clothes.

Zeng Hui was very happy and asked hurriedly: "How long will it take to get it? Can one month be enough? How much money is needed?"

Master Mo can answer the required time, but the money is not something he and his clerk can decide. However, the movement here has already attracted the chief steward of Zhenbao Pavilion. This steward's surname is Kan, he is shrewd and capable, and he has already solved the problem. Understand everything clearly.

When Master Mo looked at him, he calmly pulled the abacus beads a few times and said a number, "180 eight taels of silver."

Zeng Hui originally thought that if the money was not enough, she would add it herself. No matter what, she could not let Geng Xingshuang provide the money herself. Now she was relieved to hear that it did not exceed 200 taels.
