Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 487 Western Jewelry
Xue Wangshi and Zhang Lingxuan watched the girls laughing from a distance in the gazebo, and smiled at each other.Xue Wang asked: "How is it? Are you satisfied with this prospective daughter-in-law?"

Ling Xuan nodded: "Although her family is from the Jianghu, this girl is so knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is also the darling of his parents. My family Cong'er does not need to be an official in the future, as long as she is in charge of the family. Living in these shops and farms, this Miss Liu is also very knowledgeable. In the future, she will be able to manage the family affairs well with Conger. Even if the family is separated in the future, she will also be able to manage the family. .”

Xue Wang also nodded: "Isn't it? If their family is a small official or a businessman in the capital, they will do it, but they come from the rivers and lakes. That's the only thing that makes people worry. But, what's going on with their family Master Zhang must have told you that since we are allies, there is no need to worry too much about the origin of the idea. Besides, the girl in front of me is so good, her flaws are not hidden, I think this is a very good marriage. "

Zhang Lingxuan nodded with a smile, and there was a deep smile in the eyes that had been chasing Liu Qianyu.

"It seems that at the end of this month, the second lady's full moon banquet, I'm going to give a generous gift."

That evening, after dinner, Baochai went to Xue Hong's courtyard.

"Second brother, don't you know that Miss Liu is really interesting. I haven't even heard of what she said, and even the delicacies from all over the place are rare. I heard that there is something in the sea It’s called octopus, its meat is soft and tough, it can be eaten raw or cooked, do you know, second brother?”

After hearing this, Xue Hong just smiled and said: "The world is so big, naturally there are many that are not in the book, and we have never seen it. Then Miss Liu lived in a different environment from you, and the process of growing up is also different. Knowing something What’s so strange about something you don’t know? As for the octopus, don’t worry about that, maybe in the future, my brother will get you some and let you taste it yourself, and you will know. That Miss Liu, I’m afraid you will be called the octopus soon. He said Cong Sanmai."

Baochai's eyes widened, and he felt excited after hearing the gossip: "Second brother, what do you mean?"

"Shhh...you should pretend you don't know until this matter is settled. Come, let's see what Second Brother has prepared for you."

"Oh, second brother, how can you half-talk, that's not kind. Tell me what you know, and see what you have later~"

Xue Hong seems to have forgotten that girls are very gossipy about such things.He had no choice but to tell her what she knew about the marriage.

After hearing this, Baochai clapped her hands and laughed: "Great! From now on, Sister Yingchun will become my sister-in-law, and Sister Qianyu will marry Brother Cong, then we will all be a family!"

Xue Hong smiled and was noncommittal, completely incomprehensible to the girls' rapidly heating up feelings.She was still "Miss Liu" just now, but she became "Sister Qianyu" in such a short time, isn't that too fast?
However, Baochai digested this matter very quickly. Looking at the stack of rice paper that Xue Hong took out for a long time, she couldn't help asking curiously: "What is this? Is it something you want to give me, second brother?"

Xue Hong rolled her eyes and said to her heart, do you still remember?
He unfolded the rice paper in front of him, pointed to the pattern on it and said: "This time I met a foreigner when I went out. I saw a lot of exotic jewelry on him. It turned out that he was a jewelry merchant from Italy. These The drawings were all drawn from memory by your brother and me after seeing the jewelry he took out. Take a look, is it much more special than what we usually see?"

"Huh? Second brother, did you also draw this with oil painting? It looks so realistic..."

"Yes, that jeweler is also a painter. Brother, I have learned a lot from him."

"Wow~ this... these jewels are very exquisite. Especially these gems, because they are not very big, so they are not considered expensive, but they are better in quantity. They are made with the technique of group setting... what is this called?"

"This is called a crown, which is a symbol of the royal families of various countries in Europe. Only members of the royal family, such as kings, queens, princes and princesses, can wear this thing to highlight their identity. As for this, it is like a glove, and it is also the group setting technology you mentioned. It is a Bracelet, but a triangular net chain made of pearl clusters, here is a ring buckled on the middle finger, so that the bracelet is worn on the hand like a pearl glove~ There is also a necklace and a necklace similar to this For the earrings, I drew them all. And there's..."

This night, Xue Hong and Baochai brothers and sisters immersed themselves in the study of the jewelry picture drawn by Xue Hong.In fact, Xue Hong has never met any jewelry merchants from Italy, so these words are just to deceive Baochai.If there is such a businessman who dares to walk on the street with a crown that symbolizes imperial power, and can still show it to others from time to time, with such a big heart, he would have been murdered and robbed a long time ago. How can he still have the spare time to arrange jewelry for people to paint? Woolen cloth?

Baochai looked at it for a long time, with piercing eyes: "Great, these graphics, these designs, including the polishing methods of these gemstones, are all worthy of my reference. I think, if it is those skilled craftsmen in our family, they should You can design jewelry with the characteristics of our Xue family. When the new jewelry comes out, you must give it to Sister Yuanchun first."

Xue Hong was surprised: "Every time you have a new design, don't you give it to sister Ruyi first? Why did you think of sister Yuanchun first this time?"

Hearing this, Baochai sighed deeply: "Second brother, you don't know, Sister Yuanchun has been tortured by that year's concubine recently, and even Prince Yong rarely goes to her room. I think That said, now I have so many new inspirations. Although the jewelry I make may not be the most expensive, it must be the most unique. Give it to Sister Yuanchun and let her dress up a bit more beautifully. Maybe Prince Yong will notice her , it’s also good to be able to accompany her often.”

"How could this be? Didn't the prince always like sister Yuan Chun very much?"

"Hey... the most ruthless emperor's family. Don't look at Prince Yong's kindness to sister Yuanchun before, it was just a whim. Besides, the concubine Nian is a two-faced person. She does one thing in front of her and another behind her back. She also has With such a capable brother supporting her, Sister Yuanchun's repeated forbearance and repeated losses only exhausted the prince's fresh energy towards her. Now even Concubine De is on Concubine Nian's side. Now, sister Yuanchun is having a hard time..."
