Qin Ming smiled and scratched Xiao Qingwan's straight nose.
"Don't worry, I won't forget them. I'll buy some more later and let them choose when they get back home. The rest can be stored in the warehouse and used as rewards for the people at home in the future."
After saying what Qin Ming thought of, he said to Qin Da beside him:
"Ada, you can choose three pieces later. When you get back, you can give them to your wife as a gift."
Qin Da blushed when he heard this.
He scratched the back of his head and said with a silly smile:
"Thank you, sir."
Last year, Qin Ming canceled Qin's status and asked Huang Bo to find the best matchmaker in Lantian to help him propose marriage to the Zhang family.
At that time, the betrothal gift was paid for by the government. The head of the Zhang family originally did not agree to a special marriage because Qin Da was from a lowly family.
Later, when I saw that Qin Da had not only restored his status as a civilian, but also sent him a particularly generous betrothal gift, he agreed to the marriage.
Originally, the two parties had agreed to let the two get married after the autumn harvest this year.
But not long after the new year this year, Qin Ming was awarded the title of a saint and became a man of Lantian County. All the people in Qinjiazhuang suddenly became the Qin family's food.
The head of the Zhang family is not stupid. He knows that Qin Da is the confidant of the men in Qin County. Besides, Qin Ming has received such a huge reward at such a young age. There is no doubt that he will be able to become a high official in the future.
As the saying goes, a third-rank official is in front of the prime minister, let alone a confidant.
Therefore, the head of the Zhang family was very worried that Qin Da Da would regret the marriage.
So on the second day after Qin Ming was granted the title, the head of the Zhang family asked a matchmaker to find Qin Da and explained that he wanted to change the wedding date to early February.
Qin Da readily agreed to this, so Qin Da is now married.
After a while,
The boy then led a dozen maids holding trays into the box.
Wait until these maids hold trays in their hands and kneel down in a row.
The boy said to Qin Ming with a smile on his face:
"Guest, please see that these are the best jewelry in our shop. Please move over and see if you like anything."
Qin Ming nodded and said to the three women who had been ready to make a move:
"You go and choose."
After hearing the words, the three women stood up one after another, first bowed to Qin Ming, and then ran to the maids to choose.
...
The lobby on the first floor of Caiyun Building.
A handsome young man with a silver crown on his head, a white brocade robe with cloud patterns, and a white jade and silver belt, with a handsome appearance and eyes as bright as paint, walked in with several followers.
The women who were choosing jewelry in the hall stopped one after another and looked at the visitors.
Some older women looked at the young man with eyes full of curiosity.
At this time, there was a middle-aged woman with a golden hairpin on her head, a slightly rich figure, and exquisite dress.
This woman's surname was Feng, and she was born in the fourth generation of the family, so everyone she knew called her Feng Siniang.
Feng Siniang is thirty years old this year. She was originally a businessman from Jiangnan. She came to Chang'an a year ago with a large number of followers and a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and bought this time-honored store.
Then in just one year, she revitalized this store that was on the verge of bankruptcy and became the largest and best jewelry store in Chang'an City.
Now she has become a famous rich woman in Chang'an City!
What's more, what makes the people of Chang'an talk about it is that Feng Siniang is still a widow!
Feng Siniang swayed her not-so-obvious waist and walked quickly towards the silver-crowned boy.
Still four or five meters away from the young man, Feng Siniang had a smile on her face, waved the brocade handkerchief in her hand towards the young man, and said with a hint of joy in her voice:
"Sanlang, you won't be here for a while, my family is almost dying!"
The handsome young man with a silver crown in front of him, whose surname is Li, is the third in a family. He often brings pretty women here to buy jewelry, and he is considered a regular customer of Caiyun Tower.
But today, for some unknown reason, I only had a few followers with me.
When Li Sanlang, who was wearing a silver crown, saw the visitor, he also had a smile on his face. He shook his sleeves, raised his hands to the young and middle-aged woman and said:
"We haven't seen you for a few days. My fourth mother is getting more and more beautiful. Hey, if I had been born a few years earlier, I would have married you home no matter what."
Feng Siniang covered her mouth and giggled when she heard this, and hit the young man with a brocade handkerchief in her right hand.
"You little bastard, you can use these sweet words to deceive my sister. How can my sister be as good as you?"
Li Sanlang chuckled, stretched out his hand, took Feng Siniang's chubby little hand, slowly pressed it on his chest, and said with sincerity in his eyes:
"What I said is true. If sister doesn't believe it, you can touch it and see."
Feng Siniang lowered her head and quickly pulled her hand back, turned to face Li Sanlang and said:
"If you keep talking nonsense, the slave family will expel people!"
Li Sanlang took back his hand, put it on the tip of his nose, smelled it, and said it smelled good.
Feng Siniang was so ashamed when she heard this, she stamped her feet, turned her head and rolled her eyes at the young man.
Upon seeing this, Li Sanlang stopped teasing the shopkeeper of Caiyun Tower and said with a smile:
"Sister, please don't be angry. My younger brother wants to buy a hosta as a gift to the elders in the family. Please help me choose one or two."
Feng Siniang snorted when she heard this, then turned around and said:
"Huh, I know you didn't come here specifically to see my sister. It makes my sister happy in vain."
"Let's go upstairs with my sister. After a while, my sister will ask someone to get the hairpin for you."
Li Sanlang smiled and nodded.
After a while,
Feng Siniang then brought the young man with silver crown to a private room on the second floor of Caiyun Building.
Not long after the two sat down, a boy hurried in.
"Shopkeeper, I'm so happy! I've made a fortune! All the jewelry on our third floor has been bought by a distinguished customer!"
Feng Siniang was stunned for a long time, thinking that she heard wrongly. The best jewelry in her Caiyun Building was on the third floor.
If we buy them all, it would cost at least 20,000 guan. How is this possible?
The only people in Chang'an City who could afford this price were the aristocratic families and those in the imperial court who followed the rules.
Besides, even if they want to buy jewelry, there is no need to buy so much at once, right?
Could this be a scammer?
Thinking of this, Feng Siniang stood up and asked:
"How is this possible? Did he pay in copper coins or in cash?"
The boy said excitedly:
"It's gold, and all the guests pay is gold!"
Feng Siniang's face turned solemn when she heard this. She turned around and gave a blessing to the young man.
"Sanlang, please sit here for a while while my sister goes to meet this guest."
Li Sanlang sat aside and listened to the conversation between the two. He tapped his index finger on the table, then stood up and smiled at Feng Siniang.
"If it's convenient, I hope my sister can help me and make some recommendations to see if I can let me buy a hosta from him. The price is negotiable."
Feng Siniang frowned and asked:
"Sanlang, why are you so anxious? Although all the hairpins on the third floor have been sold, my sister can still send someone to pick up a batch of goods outside the city."
Li Sanlang shook his head and sighed:
"Hey, this hosta boy is going to be given away tonight. I really can't wait."
Feng Siniang suddenly realized, hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and said:
"Then Saburo, why don't you go there with your sister?"
Li Sanlang shook his sleeves when he heard this, cupped his hands towards Feng Siniang and said:
"Thank you Siniang, I've caused you trouble."
Seeing this, Feng Siniang smiled and helped the young man up, patted the young man's hand and said with a smile:
"Hey, who makes my sister feel sorry for you?"
Speaking of the past, Feng Siniang waved her hand towards the young boy and said:
"Lead the way."
The boy chuckled and said hello.
