Hidden golden branches

Chapter 36 Sachet
  A few days after Chen Ying got married, the Chinese Valentine's Day was about to come. If it were to be placed on the Chinese Valentine's Day in the past, Chen Rong would definitely write a letter to urge Sun Yi to go with her to watch the excitement on the street and participate in the festival where little girls prayed for their ingenuity and dexterity. , to get a happy marriage, thread the needle with five-color thin threads against the moon and into the wind, and get your wish fulfilled.

It's just that I haven't been able to invite Sun Yi as I wished every year, and I haven't been able to thread the colorful thread into the eye of the needle every time.

Not to mention that Sun Yi had a woman this year and had already broken off the engagement with him, so it didn't matter.

Chen Rong, who was out of ideas, didn't take the Chinese Valentine's Day to heart.

Chen Rong's birthday was just a few days after the Chinese Valentine's Day. She originally planned to wait until she had a haircut, but it happened to be the Ghost Festival and she went to Huangjue Temple with her mother to relax. Hey, she waited for a month and then went to autumn hunting with her family. good news.

Originally, she thought that she would definitely not be able to go to Qiu Lie as the day of her marriage was approaching.

If this had happened in the past, it wouldn't have mattered whether she went or not.

Young and unknowingly injured, carefree.

There were too many things to worry about this year, and she still wanted to go to the hunting ground in the countryside with the adults to relax.

Even if you can't hunt on horseback, you can still play on horseback.

So after hearing the news, I felt good and wanted to go shopping.

After breakfast, Chen Rong and Yun said sweetly, "Mother, my daughter is bored after staying at home for several days. She wants to go to the jewelry store to pick out some new jewelry."

Yunman didn't know that her daughter had a sharp butt and a playful temperament.

Then he put on his face and asked, "Have you embroidered the sachet you promised to embroider for your father?"

A few days ago, Chen Youyu came back from the Hubu Yamen and complained to his daughter Chen Rong, who was dining at the same table: "Shilang Sun is so lucky. The sachets on his body were all embroidered by his daughter."

When Chen Rong heard what his father said, he immediately put down the silver chopstick in his hand, patted his chest and said, "Hey, dad, what's so strange about embroidering a sachet? Is it worthy of dad to envy others? Wait until my daughter embroiders one for you!"

"Okay, daddy will wait for the good girl to embroider a sachet for me." Chen Youyu was smiling and happy at that time.

Chen Rong himself is a very bad girl. There are several embroiderers in the house, so why bother to do it by himself?

Only Yunman pursed his lips.

She doesn’t know how much her daughter weighs?

I have never been interested in studying female embroidery since I was a child, and I have never seen her embroidering sachets or purses.

I even embroidered a sachet for him!
  I'm afraid it's not like the four-part embroidery will show up. Haha, Yun Man is secretly happy to see you wear it when you go out into the world.

At this moment, when Chen Rong heard Yun's question, she puffed up her cheeks and replied vaguely: "Mom, um, that sachet will be completed in a few days." After saying that, he turned to Chen Youyu's blinking almond eyes, trying to please him. He promised: "Dad, my daughter will give you a unique and beautiful sachet in a few days!"

A few days ago, Chen Rong asked her second brother to embroider a sachet with a drawing of her favorite kitten.

So she was very confident that her father would return the sachet and embroider it.
  In early autumn, the weather has started to get colder.

When Chen Rong arrived at West Street, he suddenly remembered that West Street was close to Zhuangzi where Zhang Xiuxi lived.

Even though I was cool and decisive with others, I still felt unwilling to do so.

He once quietly sent someone to inquire about Zhang Xiuxi’s address.

Unexpectedly, I would end up here inadvertently today.

My heart felt inexplicably depressed and melancholy arose again.

Chen Rong sighed secretly that he was really useless and spineless. He stood on West Street for a long time, looking at the bustling city, and then just wandered there. I remembered telling my mother that I wanted to buy jewelry, and wanted to bring back some novel styles for myself and my mother, so I went to Rumengzhai.

East Street is very lively, with people coming and going, rubbing shoulders.

Cuizhu and Yuzhu accompanied Chen Rong all the way, carefully protecting Chen Rong from passing people, until they followed Chen Rong to a Jinlou Rumengzhai.

Rumengzhai is one of the largest golden buildings in the capital. It is said that the late owner of Rumengzhai fell in love with a woman, but he could not get her and could only meet her in a dream.

Therefore, he opened a jewelry shop called ‘Rumengzhai’.

The jewelry produced by Rumengzhai is novel in style and exquisite in craftsmanship. It often has the same style as seen outside, so it is highly sought after by many ladies and ladies in Beijing. In the past, Chen Jia's mother Yun Man was a frequent visitor.

Every time Rumengzhai comes out with a new style, it will be sent to the Chen Mansion for her to choose. However, Yun Man still likes to come and choose it herself. It is a rare time for her to have some leisure time and not have to think about the messy things inside and outside the mansion. .

Since the split, Yun Man didn't come here very often.

Even if I sometimes want to visit Rumengzhai, I will bring my daughter Chen Rong with me.

Therefore, the female shopkeeper in Rumengzhai is also familiar with Chen Rong.

After Chen Rong entered Rumengzhai, the female shopkeeper welcomed her in and greeted her warmly: "Hey, it's the Lord of Jiahe County who is here!"

"Shopkeeper Gu." Chen Rong also greeted her politely.

Not long after, someone brought several trays with dozens of exquisite brocade boxes placed on them. The visitors placed the trays on the table for Chen Jia to pick at.

Chen Rong reached out and picked up a brocade box from the tray.

There is a mandarin duck hairpin inlaid with turquoise agate in the brocade box. The style of the hairpin is very novel and the craftsmanship is excellent. It can be seen that it is carefully crafted.

Chen Rong held it in his hand and played with it fondly.

Considering Chen Rong's age, hairpins seemed old-fashioned to her, but it was appropriate for a young married woman to wear them.

Yes, just give it to your mother.

If your mother dislikes it, you can give it away.

Sometimes when buying jewelry, you don’t have to wear it yourself. It’s also good to give it as a gift when you see something good.

Especially when there are interactions between big households and big households, you will rarely meet the younger ones. At that time, as the elder, you need to have something that you can give as a gift.

Besides, the eldest brother is not young anymore, and he will have a wife soon. Well, it would also be a good idea to give it to your future sister-in-law.

Chen Rong put the hairpin back and picked up another brocade box.

She quickly looked at four or five brocade boxes, until she saw the golden silk hibiscus hairpin inlaid with red and sapphire, and then she slowed down.

The style of this hairpin is extremely simple. The head of the hairpin is a hibiscus flower carved from white jade. The stamen part is made of red gold silk as a support, and a red gem the size of a fingernail is inlaid. The ruby ​​is of extremely high quality, the color is very true red, the color is bright, and it is very bright. It looks like an imported product at first glance.

The entire hairpin is made of gold silk. In addition to the white jade hibiscus on the hairpin, smaller hollow butterflies and hibiscus are also made of gold silk on the lower part. Each is embedded with a red and sapphire as the background. The red gold The gold is set against the whiteness and oiliness of white jade hibiscus, and paired with bright red and sapphire, the entire hairpin looks both elegant and luxurious.

Chen Rong fell in love almost at first sight.
