【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Chapter 22: Jia Mu acts as an art consultant and jokingly calls everyone a tutor

Grandmother Jia said lovingly:

"First, to attract customers, don't let them look down on you. This is the appearance of a cheongsam shop.

Second, we also let you learn the old craftsmanship, which is what young people often say: find inspiration. See if you can learn good designs from the craftsmanship of these antique clothes and apply them to new clothes.

Third, you have the chance to wear each piece, take some photos for me to enjoy, and if you can find a realistic painter to paint a picture for me, it will also give these clothes a chance to be reborn again. "

Jia's grandmother's last words deeply touched Lin Pin'er. Her beautiful eyes immediately misted over. She reached out and gently stroked the embroidery on the clothes, as if she could sense the stories these clothes had experienced.

Seeing her tears in her eyes, Jia's mother quickly changed the subject:

"I was originally planning to invest, but Master Li said he had taken care of the funding, so I don't have to worry about it. So I don't have to pay, so that those people won't be jealous of my kindness and come to bother me again. Now that you have someone to support you, you can work hard and make some achievements, don't let them down."

Grandmother Jia's words carried a double meaning, which she did not make clear: first, to encourage Lin Pin'er, and second, to tell her that she agreed with their relationship.

Lin Pin'er was very smart, so she understood what her grandmother said. She just blushed secretly.

Seeing her blushing, Jia Mu knew that she was just beginning to fall in love and might like him without knowing it. She did not dare to say anything more and hurriedly called Yuanyang in:

"Put this box of clothes in a sealed bag. Find a day when no one is around and send it to Pin'er's store. Try to keep it as secret as possible to avoid gossip."

After explaining Yuanyang, he took out a large red lacquered wood jewelry box with a flying phoenix pattern, brought Lin Pin'er to the bedside, and opened it to show her:

"These are also my collection, they are all antique ornaments, not jewelry, but they are not modern crafts. As for their value, you may not be able to buy them even if you have money, and I am reluctant to sell them. You can put them in the store for display."

I saw that the collection in the jewelry box was almost all hairpins: some with phoenix holding a ribbon pattern, some with gold filigree mandarin ducks, some with bamboo, some with fried bead lantern pendants, some with butterflies... each one was well-made.

"Grandma, how come you have so many treasures? Are you giving them all to me? These are the fruits of your labor."

"Make the best use of things. I naturally can't bear to sell them. If I don't sell them, they will have no market. You protect them for me, which is like helping me collect them. I'll teach you. You can turn the cheongsam hall into a cheongsam museum. This will add to the gimmick. It can also attract people to visit, which is like a living advertisement for you." Grandmother Jia said seriously, with a proud look on her face.

Lin Pin'er marveled at how much her grandmother knew:

"Grandma, I want to hire you as our art director. You will be better than me if you open a shop."

"I can't open a shop. I don't want to be tired. I just want to enjoy the benefits. I can be an art director. Apart from other things, I also loved beauty when I was young. I have seen and participated in many banquets and my taste is not bad. Then I will give you some guidance, but I don't know how much salary to offer me?"

After hearing what the grandmother said, the two of them immediately burst into laughter.

Lin Pin'er suddenly thought of Wu Qing's schooling and hurriedly begged her grandmother to help arrange it.

"You all want to repeat a grade together. Before you came, I asked your second brother Lian to check your scores. He said that you were a good student before, but you didn't do well in the college entrance examination. I guessed that your studies were delayed because of your father's affairs. I was worried that you didn't want to study anymore. But you were so well-behaved and sensible when you came, and you agreed to repeat a grade right away. You are the first one to repeat a grade."

Lin Pin'er said with a smile:

"How can you say that this is the beginning of repeating the course?"

"Look, you want to repeat a grade. Baoyu is the first one to accompany you to study, and he will drag Qin Zhong with him. It doesn't matter that their scores are not good. It is reasonable to repeat a grade and apply for a good school. But your tutor Li Shuirong. I understand that he has good academic performance, and he originally planned to study abroad. He repeated a grade to accompany you to study. Do you understand his heart?"

Lin Pin'er was secretly shocked. When she heard him say that they wanted to repeat the year together, she thought he did not do well in the exam. She did not expect that he wanted to accompany her.

"You've let Wu Qing arrange it again. Isn't this a precedent? I wonder how many more people will accompany you to school? This is a precedent. I can brag about it when I go out. I can say that my darling granddaughter needs five or six people to accompany her to school alone. Hahaha."

Lin Pin'er blushed again at what Lady Jia said, and she was in a mess for a while before she stopped.

Soon, Yuanyang came in and said:

"Master Li has arrived, and is waiting for Miss to go over to attend the class. Baoyu and Master Qin are also here today. They both said they were going to the big study to study!"

After Lin Pin'er thanked them again and again, she walked out of Lady Jia's bedroom and went to the big study to study with them.

Zijuan had already moved Lin Pin'er's books and stationery to the large study room as Li Shuirong requested.

Li Shuirong was sitting at the desk with his back to her, looking at something on the computer.

Lin Pin'er quietly walked over and looked at his computer screen:

"What are you looking at?"

"Stocks." Li Shuirong was startled by her sudden question and then answered.

Lin Pin'er didn't look at him, but just looked carefully at the colorful lines, but couldn't see any clues.

"Teacher Li, tell me about it."

“A stock is a security that represents a portion of the ownership of a company. When you buy a stock, you become a shareholder in the company and enjoy a share of the company’s future profits.”

“If I buy stocks, does that mean I can enjoy the company’s profits?”

"Yes, you are very smart."

"Tell me about it in detail." Lin Pin'er immediately said with interest.

"When you have finished your recent studies, I will spare an afternoon on the weekend to teach you."

"Good."

As they were talking, Baoyu and Qin Zhong also came. The four of them began to discuss and study together. Qin Zhong envied Baoyu for being born in a wealthy family and wished he could be close to him. Fortunately, Baoyu said that day: When studying, you must have one or two close friends to accompany you. Only by discussing with everyone from time to time can you benefit.

It was almost eleven o'clock and everyone was tired of studying. Qin Zhong was playing the game Baoyu taught him on the computer. Lin Pin'er remembered the costumes she had bought last night and asked Zijuan to fetch her laptop and log into the game.

"You also come on board and I'll give you something." Lin Pin'er said softly.

Li Shuirong happily went to the account, and the two returned home. Lin Pin'er traded him a pure white suit.

"When did you get it? Such a pure color."

Li Shuirong asked her in a low voice, then tried it on happily.

"The first time I saw you, you were wearing this white suit. I thought it looked very nice, like a prince in a fairy tale book."

Shui Rong was naturally happy to hear her say this, but he couldn't help teasing her: "Such a top-notch color is worth a lot of money? Why don't you keep it and sell it?"

Pin'er's beautiful eyes turned: "If you don't want it, give it back to me."

"Yes, why not?" Li Shuirong immediately treated it like a treasure, put it on and refused to take it off. After a while of admiring it, she couldn't help showing it off to Baoyu:

"Baoyu, look at my suit."

Baoyu came over to look at Li Shuirong's computer, and after reading it, he quickly winked at Li Shuirong:

"How dare you play games in front of her?"

Li Shuirong was slightly stunned. Why didn't he dare to play games in front of her?
