my wife is wonderful

Geng Xingshuang expected that these two hairpins would not be too cheap. After all, in terms of style, materials, and most importantly, craftsmanship, it would be difficult to make this pair of gold hairpins according to the drawings. Easy.

The price was within her expectations.

Geng Xingshuang glanced at Zeng Hui, who nodded, "Okay, let's make these two hairpins. How much is the price?"

As Zeng Hui spoke, she already signaled the maid beside her to take the money.

"Madam, wait a minute!" The steward smiled and waved his hand, then glanced at the two paintings in his hand and said, "If the lady is willing to provide these two jewelry patterns for our treasure pavilion, we will only use these two hairpins. Charge [-]% of the price.”

180 taels, 90%, which is [-] taels.

Zeng Hui didn't expect such a good thing, but this painting was painted by Geng Xingshuang, so she looked at Geng Xingshuang.

Geng Xingshuang shook his head, "I'll pay 180 taels."

Manager Kan knew that there was no answer, but he was not particularly disappointed. He had expected that he would not agree. The reason why he asked and tested him just now was just a businessman's habit. When he saw something good, he would I always wonder if I can get a piece of the pie.

"Then if the girl agrees to give the painting to Zhenbao Pavilion for use, we won't receive a penny from these two gold hairpins, how about that?"

Manager Kan feels that giving up without adding a single code is not his style.

Geng Xingshuang shook his head again.

Seeing that there was really no chance, Manager Kan stopped insisting and asked Master Mo to take the drawings to the workshop and discuss it with some of his old associates.

Zeng Hui paid the deposit, and the two were about to leave when they heard a voice from behind, "Girl, please wait a moment."

The voice was somewhat familiar, and Geng Xingshuang recognized it as one of the few guests who had gathered around her to look at the drawings after she had finished painting the jewelry.

She turned around and looked over, and found that what was chasing her was a mother and daughter. The mother was tall and had a slightly round face. She had a gentle smile. Although she was more than half a head taller than Geng Xingshuang, she did not feel oppressive. The daughter looked sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slim figure, fair skin, and pure appearance. She was looking at Geng Xingshuang expectantly.

"Madam, what's the matter?" Zeng Hui asked on behalf of Geng Xingshuang.

"It's like this. We liked the two hairpins that the girl painted just now in Zhenbao Pavilion. They are my daughter, Sister Chan. Ever since she saw the two hairpins that the girl painted, she felt that The jewelry pictures in the Zhenbao Pavilion album are unsightly."

Zeng Hui was a little embarrassed and looked at Geng Xingshuang. From the beginning, Geng Xingshuang was only planning to wear the hairpin decorated with red, green and happy colors.

"Madam, I'm really sorry, those two hairpins..."

"Don't worry, girl. I heard what you just said to the manager of Zhenbao Pavilion. We are not people who force others to make things difficult for us. We don't speak freely here. Let's go to the teahouse opposite to talk. Is it convenient for you two?"

It is said that you should not hit the smiling person with your hand, and the lady in front of you has a graceful and graceful manner, and her speaking attitude is also very comfortable.

Zeng Hui glanced at Geng Xingshuang, who nodded.

The group then moved to the teahouse, where they introduced their identities. Only then did Geng Xingshuang know that the mother and daughter were the family members of Mr. Shi Shu, the left deputy governor of the third-rank inspectorate. Mrs. Shu, Mrs. Chang and Shu The third young lady of the family, Shu Chan.

After learning their identities, Geng Xingshuang was calm. She originally thought that the status of this mother and daughter was valuable. On the streets of Ningducheng, they were full of powerful people, and they met in a place like Zhenbao Pavilion. It is said that they are the family members of a third-grade official. Even if they meet the family members of the royal palace, there is no need to be shocked.

On the other hand, after hearing Mrs. Shu introduce herself, Mrs. Zeng looked a little strange, a little excited, and a little...admiration in her excitement.

Geng Xingshuang suppressed her doubts for the time being and listened to Mrs. Shu and Shu Chan talk about their thoughts. "In fact, in the past two months, we have visited all the famous silver buildings in Ningdu City, bought or customized them, and also bought some jewelry, but we didn't like it very much. Today, when we saw Miss Geng's painting Sister Chan was very happy about the appearance of the jewelry. We were very happy when we heard the steward mentioned to the girl that we would use your drawings to provide to other guests of Zhenbao Pavilion. However, since Miss Geng refused, we naturally couldn't force it. But I have a merciless request.”

At this point, Mrs. Shu glanced at Shu Chan and said, "Since it's your idea, just tell Miss Geng. If Miss Geng agrees, we will treat her with courtesy. If Miss Geng doesn't agree, don't force it."

Geng Xingshuang was a little surprised. This Miss Shu was also a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. What Mrs. Shu said to her actually sounded like she was speaking to a six or seven-year-old child.

Moreover, Geng Xingshuang had just seen that Shu Chan wanted to speak several times, but before speaking, she had to look at her mother Chang's face. When Chang shook her head, although she pursed her lips and looked a little depressed, she still The obedient one did not interrupt.

She has been wondering about the way the mother and daughter get along. She originally thought that Mrs. Shu was too strict with her daughter, but she didn't think it was the case.

Now that Mrs. Shu has asked Shu Chan to speak, Geng Xingshuang can finally turn her attention to Shu Chan.

"If you don't want to give me those two birds, I don't want them yet, but I want you to draw me my Jiaojiao and Huhu, when they are running, jumping, eating, and sleeping. Sometimes...well, there is also a time to act like a spoiled child."

As soon as Shu Chan said these words, Geng Xingshuang felt that something was wrong. She spoke very quickly and seemed to have been holding it in for a long time. Now it was finally her turn to speak, so she spoke out all her thoughts at once. Her big bright eyes stared at Geng Xingshuang, waiting for her answer.

"Sister Chan, my mother told you that you must be polite and courteous when talking to others. You still ask others for help, and you must be polite. Listen to what you just said!"

Mrs. Shu frowned.

Shu Chan stretched out her hand to scratch her hair, but was immediately stopped by the maid standing behind her, "Girl, be good, your hair is going to be messed up."

Geng Xingshuang blinked her eyes. When Shu Chan pouted at her mother's words and looked a little unhappy when the maid stopped her from pulling her hair, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and gave a friendly smile. He asked softly but with a bit of curiosity: "Who are Jiaojiao and Huhu?"

When talking about Jiaojiao and Huhu, Shu Chan immediately became happy, "They are my kittens. One is called Jiaojiao. It looks white and sounds sweet. The other is called Huhu. It looks cute." Like the big tiger hanging in dad’s study, it’s so fierce. Can you draw two of them for me? I want to put Jiaojiao and Huhu on my head.”

At the end of the sentence, there was a pleading tone in his voice, like a child asking an adult for help buying a toy.

Geng Xingshuang was even a little worried that if she didn't agree, the girl would be like those naughty children and roll around on the spot.

"Okay, I agreed, but I have to look at Jiaojiao and Huhu before I can draw it."

"That's natural. When Miss Geng is free, send someone to the house to tell you, and I'll ask the family's carriage to pick you up."

When she parted with the Shu family's mother and daughter, Shu Chan still looked at Geng Xingshuang reluctantly, as if she wanted to take Geng Xingshuang home now.

It wasn't until the Shu family's carriage left that Zeng Hui told Geng Xingshuang about the situation of the Shu family.

"Mrs. Shu only gave birth to three daughters. This little girl still has some mental problems. Although she is about to get married, you can see that she only has the brain power of a six or seven-year-old child. For this little daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Shu have gone to great lengths. She worked hard and arranged a marriage for her. I heard that the man has a good appearance and character. Although he has no talent in reading, he is proficient in arithmetic. Now he works as a clerk in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although he has no rank, for Miss Shu, On the contrary, it’s a good thing.”

Geng Xingshuang thought of the look of admiration on Zeng Hui's face when she learned the identities of the Shu family's mother and daughter, and asked, "Sister Zeng, is this Mrs. Shu very powerful?"

"Of course it's amazing. Mr. Shu is an only son and is now a third-rank official. Mrs. Shu only gave birth to three daughters. However, Mr. Shu has never taken concubines in his life. I heard that there is not even a room in the house. I heard that someone advised Mr. Shu to take concubines and have sons. He only said that there is a time in life, and there is no time in life, so don't force it. If the Shu family didn't have a son, Miss Shu San might not need to get married. However, when Miss Shu San was born, for Master Shu and his wife, it was considered a daughter of old age. Master Shu and his wife were worried that no one would take care of Miss Shu San in the future, so they spent many years choosing their current son-in-law, who will get married next year."

Speaking of this, Zeng Hui felt envy, admiration and regret.

When Geng Xingshuang saw Zeng Hui's appearance, she wanted to say that Brother Yang didn't take a concubine either. Why should Sister Zeng envy others?

After spending 200 taels of silver from her future mother-in-law to buy her a birthday gift, Zeng Hui was worried about her daughter at home, and Geng Xingshuang had a lot of things to do when she returned, so they went back to their respective homes.
