Chapter 51 Raising Jade
Because of Xia Family Tofu and White Tiger Red Fox, it seems that no one in Yulin Town does not know about the three children of Xia Family. Seeing the familiar attitude of Wang Xi and Shu Yao, shopkeeper Li kindly reminded: "Miss Xia, this white jade pen washer"
The jade quality and carving are indeed good, but the damage is too severe, and there may be a lot of damage invisible to the naked eye. The cost of polishing, re-cutting, inspection, and processing... well... I'm afraid it's not worth it."
Liu Laoer and his son looked at Shuyao nervously. This white jade brush washer was passed down from the ancestors of the Liu family. It is said to be valuable, but it experienced some catastrophes and was damaged. Even so, Liu Laoer still wouldn't do it if he didn't have to.
Sold, as shopkeeper Li said just now, it’s good to keep it in mind.
Shuyao bowed and said, "Thank you, uncle shopkeeper, for reminding me. My mother once taught me a method of growing jade. I want to try it. If you grow it well, it's best. If you don't, forget it. The shape is quite nice. I can use it myself or
It can be used by my eldest brother. But if Da Qiang’s mother doesn’t seek medical treatment and take medicine quickly, her illness will not be cured.”
Shopkeeper Li's eyes lit up, raising jade? Is this little girl really good at it? I heard that the Xia family's wife Zhen is also a legendary figure, maybe she really has a secret recipe. He is a businessman, and when he saw the highlights at once, well, wait
I will talk to Wang Xi later and ask him to lead the way. If Shuyao succeeds, he wants to see this deal with his own eyes again.
Daqiang, who was silent next to him, said firmly: "Girl, if this jade is not well maintained, the money will be considered a loan by us, and I will definitely pay it back in the future. I will repay the girl like a cow or a horse."
Ding Meier, who couldn't say anything for a long time, snorted: "One is stupid, the other is crazy, how can I repay you? It's up to you?"
Ding Meier glanced at Daqiang contemptuously. He was dark and thin. Although his blue cloth clothes were clean and tidy, they were patched in many places. The blue cloth shoes on his feet were obviously too short, and his thumbs on both sides were exposed.
, the sides have also begun to crack.
Daqiang blushed: "I am only ten years old this year, don't bully young people into poverty." This was what the scholar brother who was a private school teacher next door just taught him yesterday.
What Ding Meier didn't know was that one day, a few years later, Daqiang's words would really come true. When she wanted to win over him, he repeated it proudly. At that time, she regretted how much she regretted what she said to her today.
This was a lot of talk about people and things that had nothing to do with her.
Shuyao ignored Ding Meier's words: "Brother Daqiang, don't worry about it. I bought it. Whether it's good or bad is all my business. You go get the medicine quickly, and then come to our house to find my brother."
Shuyao didn't expect that Daqiang was already ten years old. He looked only a little taller than Shuwen, like a six or seven-year-old child. He had obviously been hungry for a long time. But Daqiang's eyes made Shuyao feel that he was
Firmness, sincerity, and a spirit of self-improvement.
Liu Laoer left with Daqiang extremely grateful. Ding Meier glanced at Nian'er and Shuyao impatiently, and said to her grandmother and mother who had just walked upstairs to her: "Grandma, mother,
I chose a jade screen frame and gave it to my grandfather. He must like it, but these two people insisted on snatching it from me, and the man refused to sell it to me."
Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Ding Er frowned, and Mrs. Ding Er said sternly: "Who is the shopkeeper? Find the shopkeeper. How can such a big store bully people? Doesn't Lan Yuexuan always advertise that customers are the priority and treat everyone equally?"
"This madam is right. Lan Yuexuan has never deceived guests or students. This screen frame was first chosen by the third girl of the Xu family and Miss Xia. It was the noble daughter who snatched it from the hands of the third girl of the Xu family. After
Many customers here can testify." The waiter had a good attitude, but his tone was very firm.
"Yes, I happened to be nearby and saw this girl suddenly rushing over to grab something."
"Isn't that true? I've seen it too. It's so unreasonable to be so unruly at such a young age! She even said that her grandfather was the minister of Zhongshu."
"Haha, Miss Xu's father is Zhongshu Ling, who happens to be a senior official."
…
Several nearby customers who had seen the previous scene stood up to testify.
At this time, the arrogance of the Ding family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was extinguished, and they immediately became nervous: Miss Xu San? Mr. Xu, Zhongshu Ling? Meier has robbed Mr. Xu's daughter's things? That is the immediate boss of their old man!
Mrs. Ding Er was complaining in her heart. She accompanied her mother-in-law to choose jewelry downstairs. She heard that the price here was lower than that in the store in Beijing, so she just brought it to Beijing as a gift. Her precious daughter ran up on her own. If she had known this, she would have
It's time to catch up.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Mei'er, apologize to Miss Xu quickly." Mrs. Ding shouted in a low voice. She loved this granddaughter who was very beautiful and had a bright future. She usually never said a harsh word, but... Mr. Xu...
...Sigh, Mei'er has been pampered and become a bit spoiled. After entering the capital, she needs to hire someone to teach her well. Otherwise, if she keeps her temper and doesn't know how to hide it, she won't be able to gain favor even if she enters the palace in the future. That place is not
Just having good looks is enough.
"Grandma," Ding Meier pouted, but she also heard the discussions around her. She knew that Nian'er's father was her grandfather's immediate boss, and her family could not threaten her. However, asking her to apologize? There was no way.
She never apologized to anyone.
Shuyao pulled Nian'er and said softly: "Forget it, sister Nian'er, let's buy a screen frame and leave quickly. We have to go to Yuncaifang to buy embroidery thread." Ding Mei'er is very grudgey. Sister Nian'er has passed away two years ago.
He will still go to Beijing in three years, so it’s better not to offend her as much as possible.
Nian'er was not an aggressive host to begin with: "Okay, buddy, help us pay the bill." After saying that, he walked side by side to the stairs with Shuyao. Shuyao did not forget to salute Wang Xi and say goodbye: "Goodbye, Uncle Wang."
.”
"Okay, if you need anything, remember to ask Uncle Wang. I promise you that Uncle Jin will take care of you." Wang Xi also became more and more fond of this polite, generous and kind-hearted little girl.
"Hey, Miss Xia, you..." Shopkeeper Li instinctively wanted to stop Shuyao to explain, but thought about it and stopped. There are so many people here, so he might as well tell Wang Xi later.
Shuyao looked at shopkeeper Li questioningly. Seeing that he didn't continue, she smiled lightly and said, "Goodbye, uncle shopkeeper." She knew what shopkeeper Li wanted to say. In fact, she made it clear that her mother had a way of raising jade, and she said it specifically.
It’s for shopkeeper Li. As for other people, it doesn’t matter. She said she was just trying it. Who knows whether it will succeed or not? Da Zhou admired jade ornaments and many people tried various methods of cultivating jade.
It is inconvenient for the brothers and sisters to do too much business now, but if they can secretly help Lan Yuexuan "maintain" some old and damaged jade ornaments that are not in good condition, they can also make a good income. Although they are not short of money now
, but who cares about having too much money? Shuyao, who experienced a lot of misfortune because she had no money and no one to rely on in her previous life, especially believed in one sentence: Nothing can be done without money.
There is another very important thing. Shuyao remembers that in her previous life, when she was fourteen years old, Prince Fu requisitioned a large area of land including Xitang Street to build Prince Fu's Mansion, just because an aide said that Yulin Town belonged to Prince Fu.
blessed land.
Although Prince Fu's Mansion has given some compensation to each family, everyone is still complaining. Where can you find a suitable house for your family? Since it was spread that Yulin Town is a blessed land, the low prices in Yulin Town have soared. Many families only
I can leave Yulin and seek life elsewhere.
At that time, Shuyao escaped from the Mafu sedan chair and hid here. The neighbors were worried about the house, but they still found a way to hide and send her away first.
In this life, as long as she has the ability, Shuyao hopes to help the neighbors get through that incident. Maybe she can secretly buy some small yards and then transfer them at the original price or rent them cheaper to the neighbors in need, especially if she often helps their families.
Those families.
