Rebirth of the Poor Girl

Chapter 239 Coincidence or intention

When the shop opened, Luo Shi was concerned about the crops at home in Yangmei Village, and he didn't want to stay in the county for a long time, so he said he wanted to go home. Tian Minyan said that she would not come to the county all year round, and she always wanted to take a good look. The wife also sent someone to say that they want the women to go shopping together.

There was a long-term worker at home, and Baimei was looking after her, so Luo Shi had no choice but to agree. After breakfast, he went out with Tian Minyan, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Xing Shan'er. Watching in the shop.

The agreed place was Duobao Pavilion in the county. When Tian Minyan and the others arrived, Mrs. Liu Ye was already drinking tea in the inner hall, and Liu Ruyu and Madam Zheng were still standing beside them.

Liu Ruyu kept looking outside, and when she saw the shopkeeper bringing Tian Minyan and the others in, she immediately showed a smile, and stepped forward to salute Luo Shi with a smile: "Ruyu greets Aunt Tian."

"Oh, young master, don't disturb me, get up quickly." Luo Shi hastily helped him up, and said angrily: "I didn't say that, our peasant family doesn't pay much attention to etiquette, so there is no need for so much etiquette."

"It's not surprising that there are many people who are polite. He is a junior, so he should say hello." Liu Ye said with a smile.

"That folk girl pays her respects to Madam Liu, and wishes Madam Liu good luck and prosperity." Tian Minyan blessed her, and the two servant girls and Xiao Wu also greeted her.

"Come on, I even lifted a rock and smashed my own foot." Mrs. Liu Ye helplessly turned over her palm and hurriedly called several people to stand up.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ruyu and Tian Minyan and the others greeted each other, smiling happily.

"Don't stand still, how about coming here to have a look at these jewellery?" Mrs. Liu Ye waved Luo's Tian Minyan and the others to sit down, and said to the shopkeeper, "Madam Tian is too heavy to drink that cold tea, the shopkeeper Get someone to make a cup of eight-treasure tea, and bring a few more easy-to-digest foods for the children to eat and play."

"Yes, Mrs. Liu." The shopkeeper hurriedly asked the waiter at the side to get some snacks and other things.

"These jewelry are gold, silver and white jade. If you want me to say, the ones that are eye-catching and fresh are those designed by you, Yan girl. Now I heard that the ladies and girls in Beijing are all eager to see what new styles are available in Zhenbaozhai. , but you girl just accept it when you see it, and don’t paint anymore." Mrs. Liu Ye picked up a white jade hairpin and asked, "How about this one?"

When the shopkeeper caught Liu Ye's words, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "Mrs. Liu said that the newly released jewelry from Zhenbaozhai was painted by this girl?"

Liu Ye said with a smile: "That's not it, Miss Tian has a pair of dexterous hands and a clever mind. In my opinion, there are not many beautiful designs in your jewelry shop."

"I also know those patterns, and I thought it was drawn by an old expert, but it turned out to be from the girl's skillful hands." The shopkeeper was very excited when he heard that, and said: "Young lady, please draw some patterns for us in Duobao Pavilion. , Zhenbaozhai will pay a few dollars to buy it, and we will pay half of it."

The few fancy jewelry produced by Zhenbaozhai are beautiful. If they have such patterns in Duobao Pavilion, they will definitely be able to make unprecedented jewelry and make a lot of money. Thinking of this, the shopkeeper seemed to see a piece of jewelry. Looking at Tian Minyan like a cash cow, he said again: "If the girl is willing, my Duobao Pavilion is willing to hire a girl to be my shop engineer with a lot of money."

Tian Minyan felt terrified when he saw it, and hurriedly said: "The shopkeeper, I only drew a few pictures, and I can't draw any more. Moreover, I signed a contract with Zhenbaozhai, and I can only give them to his family if there are new patterns."

"That's it." The shopkeeper looked disappointed, and said unwillingly: "Miss, please think about it again, we can discuss the money."

"Look, it's a family with girls, but now it's a family with skillful hands. Looking at it this way, I also want to open a jewelry shop and let your daughter paint flowers." Mrs. Liu said Pazi covered his mouth and smiled at Luo Shi.

"She's not as good as you said, don't let her down." Luo Shi smiled gently, but his eyes were full of pride and relief.

"Grandma, you are flattering me. How can I be as capable as you said? They are all small samples that can't be put on the stage. If you want to say that they are graceful and luxurious, they can still be drawn by such a century-old shop. Look at that red gold head. So pretty." Tian Minyan annoyed modestly, pointing to a pair of red gold and sapphire-encrusted heads on the shelf behind the shopkeeper.

"You are humble in front of me. Whoever wears such a pair of headgear on ordinary days, these headgears are just for display. They are either used to add makeup to the bottom of the box, or they are often worn. The ones you designed are better. Mrs. Liu glanced at it, but didn't care much.

"That's right, our master also bought the jewelry designed by you, Er Miss, as a gift for our grandma." Madam Zheng covered her mouth and smiled.

"You're the one who talks a lot." Liu Ye blushed and gave her a reproachful look.

"Slaves should be beaten." Madam Zheng hastily slapped her mouth lightly, making several people laugh.

"It's good to be in love as a husband and wife. It's rare that he still misses you when you are so far apart." Luo Shi said with a smile.

"That's all."

However, Tian Minyan noticed that Mrs. Liu Ye was gloomy, and thought that there was some unknown inside story, so she hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Shopkeeper, I also want to add some jewelry, but I'm not as good as Mrs. Liu." Lord of silver, bring some nice and cheap silver jewelry to have a look."

"Go, you girl, I just gave you the dividends of the preserved egg, and now you have opened a shop again, so you are not ashamed to say such a thing. Shopkeeper, don't listen to her, go and hold some red gold and jade, It's suitable for little girls." Liu Ye was amused by her and spat.

"Hey."

While waiting, several people chatted while choosing jewelry.

When Liu Ye heard Tian Minyan say that the Seventeenth Lord was coming, she couldn't help being taken aback, and quickly asked, "Where are the others now?"

Tian Minyan's reaction to her was very strange, and said: "Leave after dinner." After thinking for a while, she asked hesitantly: "Grandma knows Master Shiqi?"

Mrs. Liu Ye took a deep look at her, smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "I know her."

"Then he..."

"Hey, bring it over here quickly." Liu Ye saw sharply that the shopkeeper came in holding a few boxes and lifted the curtain, waved her hand, and said to Tian Minyan: "You pick a few more, I'll give it to you if you don't have enough money, little girl , you can't dress too plain."

Tian Minyan knew that she had changed the subject, so she had no choice but to answer with a smile, but she was full of doubts in her heart, and a thought came up vaguely, but she was amused by her own thought, how could it be?So he threw away his thoughts and concentrated on picking up the jewelry.

Modern jewelry is fashionable and novel, but ancient jewelry is also unique and ingenious. Those gold threads are as thin as a thin thread, and they are twisted out somehow.

Tian Minyan herself always dresses soberly. If this is not a formal occasion, she basically doesn't like to wear those cumbersome jewelry, but it doesn't mean she doesn't like it. Women, even if they don't like to wear it, they also like to collect it, don't they?

Therefore, Tian Minyan picked a filigree red gold buyao, a silver hairpin, and picked out a pair of red gold bracelets for Luo Shi. Luo Shi was afraid that the silver would be too expensive, so he desperately said no, and finally Tian Minyan said harshly: "Don't worry, mother Even if there is no money to pay, I can immediately draw a few patterns to offset the price of this bracelet."

These words made the shopkeeper feel as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. He looked at Tian Minyan eagerly, and almost used the jewelry picture to pay for the silver without saying anything.

Seeing him like that, Tian Minyan smiled and thought to himself, could he be considered a rare jewelry designer?

A few people picked out the jewelry, and at this moment a clerk came in and said: "Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Wen and Miss Wen are here outside. I heard that you are here, so I said hello."

"It's Sister Wen." Tian Minyan's eyes lit up, she liked tenderness very much.

"Please come in quickly." Mrs. Liu Ye hurriedly said.

Soon, Mrs. Wen and Ruan came in, and they greeted each other again, and when they were talking, Ruan commented on the jewelry Tian Minyan had chosen, and picked out a pair of silver pendant earrings for her.

Mrs. Liu saw Tian Minyan and the other girls muttering to each other, and sighed for a while: "It's better to be young, in the blink of an eye, we're all old women."

"Ma'am, you are still young. If you say that, you will shame me and Mrs. Tian." Madam Wen smiled gently.

"No, I just said she did it on purpose, so that we won't be ashamed." Luo Shi was rarely playful, teasing.

Among the three of them, Mrs. Liu Ye is the youngest, followed by Mrs. Wen, but Mrs. Wen is the older one. Because Mrs. Mrs. Wen has been working in the fields for many years, although Mrs. Liu has become fair and round in the past half a year, she looks very similar to her. Mrs. Wen is about the same age.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, go to tea later, will it be my account?" Liu Ye said with a smile.

"You have to go to our first floor for tea." Tian Minyan said hurriedly after hearing this.

"This little money fan is on the hook, and it's all about the business of his own shop." After hearing this, Mrs. Liu Ye uttered annoyance, and they all laughed.

"This child is very cheerful, and we are gentle and fond of her. She doesn't have a playmate here, and she thinks every day that sister Tian lives in the county." Mrs. Wen glanced at Tian Minyan, and said with a smile: " Now that you have also opened a shop, why don’t you move to the county too? I see that several yards in the county are being sold.”

"There is a lot of land at home, and we have to take care of it all the time. I'm afraid we won't be able to move it for a while." Luo Shi said with a polite smile: "Besides, we farmers are used to busy work. If we don't go to the fields for a day, we will feel scratched in our hearts." It's like talking about something."

"It's the same thing."

"Don't be afraid, when I earn money, I can buy a yard, and we can often come to the county to live for a few days." Tian Minyan interjected again.

"It's a good feeling, hurry up and buy one." Rourou was very happy.

"Look at them, even if we are best friends, we won't be able to stay for long." Mrs. Liu Ye glanced at Wen Rou who was already dressed as a young girl, and asked Mrs. Wen in a low voice: "But did you say that?"

Mrs. Wen's heart moved, and she said with a smile: "Not yet, her father is just such a girl, take care of her baby, and say to stay for two more years."

"This girl, it will be worrying if you stay here or there. I see that your gentle family is very good. If you have a good boy, you have to be careful." Mrs. Liu said quickly.

"Then, Mrs. Liu, did you find out which family's children are of the same age?" Mrs. Wen just hit the snake with a stick. After all, the Liu family is a big family. If Mrs. Liu can be a matchmaker, it won't be too bad .

"I do recognize a few, then..."

Although their voices were low, the inner hall was not too big, how could they overwhelm them when they spoke like this, Tian Minyan looked at Wenrou after hearing this, only to see that her neck was flushed with shame, and her head was so low that it almost reached her chest Go, can't help giggling.

Is this considered a political entertainment, a kind of communication between the official wife and the official wife?The most common one is that children and daughters get married and match each other as matchmakers.

Just as they were talking, another clerk came in through the curtain, saying that Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Zhang Yuanwai, Mrs. He Yuanwai, Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Lin Juren from the city happened to come to the shop to buy jewelry. He heard that Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhixian were here. Everyone wants to come and say hello.

Tian Minyan was taken aback for a moment, and then let out a sigh, whether it was a coincidence or on purpose, it goes without saying, but, Mrs. He Yuanwai?She raised her eyebrows, and hurriedly asked if it was He Yongsheng's wife, and the child said yes.

Seeing her asking this question, Mrs. Liu Ye asked, but what's wrong?Tian Minyan hurriedly told what the He family did to Baimei, Liu Ye was very displeased when she heard it, and even Madam Wen frowned.

"Except Mrs. He, let the others come in." Liu Ye said casually.

Soon, a big smell of fat and powder rushed in, and the wives greeted the two officials' wives with smiles, and chattered non-stop, making Tian Min's head explode from the noise.

Some people said that it was noon when they saw it, and those who were sensible said that it would be better to go to the first floor to have tea and chatter. Liu Ye's family was also very noisy, so they agreed.

Instruct the shopkeeper to pack up the jewelry and send them to the small courtyard of the Liu family and the first floor, etc. Liu Ye was surrounded by people and went out. Before she could leave the door, she was bumped into by a woman head-on. sink.

"Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Wen, and the Huang Tian clan from my slave family send their regards to Mrs. Liu." Tian Huaifang dragged his two daughters to greet Mrs. Liu and the others, and the room was silent.

"Huang Tian?" Liu Ye glanced at Tian Huaifang, then at Tian Minyan and the others, seeing that their expressions were not very good, she frowned.

"The slave's house is the eldest sister of Tian Huairen, the owner of the first floor, ah, third sibling, girl Yan and Xiaowu are you here too? What a coincidence." After Tian Huaifang got up, she saw Tian Minyan and the others smiling and walked over, pretending to be surprised. He held Luo Shi's arm affectionately and said: "I was going to go to your house to play, but I don't want to meet here."

Tian Minyan rolled her eyes and said to herself, God, can you be more contradictory in your words?You want to find us, why did you come here to greet Madam Liu again?

"Sister-in-law Tian, ​​is this true?" Liu Yeshi asked Luo Shi with a stiff face.

Luo Shi looked embarrassed, and said in a stiff voice: "This is my husband's eldest sister."

When Tian Huaifang heard this, she laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, she thought to herself, you don't dare to deny me, my real aunt, in public, if you don't let us enter the circle of noble people, can't I find it by myself?

By the way, we can't spoil it, dears~
