027 Rain Moxuan welcomes guests
Yu Mo Xuan.
It's a nice sunny autumn day.
There is a late osmanthus plant in the corner of the courtyard. It has escaped the previous cold wave and is now trying its best to exhale its fragrance. The afternoon sun shines in through the thin window screen, and the room seems to have a layer of rippling warmth. Heart-touching.
The six girls of the Lin family gathered in the side hall of Yumo Courtyard.
The tea is the best Dahongpao in Wuyi, the orange color is gorgeous and wonderful; the fragrance of tea fills the whole side hall, as if you are in a sea of flowers, it is as pleasant as a sea of flowers.
In such an atmosphere, six girls like flowers gathered together, and they should have endless things to say... But at this time, the side hall was extremely silent.
Lin Huijia's smile was gentle and gentle.
Lin Minjia's smile was filled with pride.
Lin Yijia, along with the other girls, did not look smiling. Their pretty faces were almost tense and tense, their hands clenched into fists subconsciously, and they looked at the door from time to time. The difference was that, except for Lin Yijia, Others are still unbelievably nervous...
Following Mrs. Lin's instructions, after resting for a while, Lin Huijia invited all the sisters to Yumoxuan.
"Here it comes! The eldest lady is here!" Caiyue's legs were quick, and she ran in lightly holding up the hem of her skirt. She didn't know if she ran in a hurry, but her cheeks were flushed.
Lin Changjia straightened her body and almost wanted to stand up. She hurriedly asked: "Is it just the eldest uncle?"
"No!" Caiyue said quickly: "Miss, the eldest lady and the second lady came together, as well as the two shopkeepers from Jinyu Tower and Jinhua Pavilion. They brought in a lot of things!"
Jinyulou is one of the best jewelry stores in Beijing.
Jinhua Pavilion is also the most popular clothing store among ladies and ladies in Beijing.
The shopkeepers from these two places came to the Lin Mansion at this time. Obviously, what Lin Huijia told them before was true! It’s unbelievable!
"Oh my God! It's true!"
Hearing the words, Lin Changjia could no longer control herself. She stood up, took a step forward, and quickly took it back. She turned around and looked at Lin Huijia who was sitting on top of her.
Lin Minjia smiled with crooked eyes and said teasingly: "It looks like we lied to you! Let's reply this time... ha!"
Lin Huijia shook her head and stood up, saying to Lin Shijia and others: "Mother and second aunt are here, we should welcome them."
Several girls stood up when they heard this. Although their movements were reserved and decent, they could not hide their eagerness.
Lin Huijia didn't say much and took the lead in leading them out of the side hall.
The side hall has been specially cleaned up.
Except for a few essential chairs for entertaining guests and two dark purple sandalwood square tables placed in the middle, nothing else was placed, making the side hall look very empty.
However, this empty space was filled in all of a sudden——
Shopkeeper Jin from Jinyu Tower did not bring many items, just a large wooden box. But shopkeeper Hua from Jinhua Pavilion brought six large boxes! Each big box was three feet high, and all were carved. All kinds of beautiful textures, and the corners are also covered with silver!
If it can be packed in a box like this, it must be full of good stuff!
All the girls in the Lin family are well-educated.
They were a little eager at first, but in front of their elders and outsiders, they all looked like impeccable ladies. No matter what kind of curiosity they had about those boxes, they all covered it up perfectly at this time.
After saying hello to the elders and meeting with the two middle-aged female shopkeepers, the girls consciously gave up the place to them. They took a half step back and stood in order of age, posing.
Listening with a smile.
"...It's hard for you two." Mrs. Lin picked up the tea cup, raised her glasses to the two female shopkeepers, and expressed her gratitude——
The month before the annual Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet is the busiest and busiest time for Jinyu Tower and Jinhua Pavilion. At this time, except for those royal families or powerful families who can spare the time for the two stores to send people to provide door-to-door service,
For the rest of the customers, it is difficult to receive them even if they come in person, and they must make an appointment first!
Some people say, can’t we prepare the clothes and jewelry we need in advance?
However, you must know that women's clothes and jewelry are always new. What if you spend money to get it in advance and it is out of date by then, wouldn't you make people laugh!
And today...the day after tomorrow is the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, and Mrs. Lin is actually able to invite the two female shopkeepers to the Lin Mansion! Even with the face of the Lin Mansion and the little friendship that Mrs. Lin forged with the two stores,
If they can come, the Lin family will accept this favor!
Hearing what Mrs. Lin said, Shopkeeper Jin stood up and saluted, shook his head and said, "Madam, you are joking. If it weren't for your support back then, our business would not be what it is today. If you say that, isn't it a slap in the face?"
Shopkeeper Hua also saluted in the same way, and handed over a not-so-thick booklet, saying: "Ma'am, keep it, you have to take a look at it."
While Mrs. Lin asked the two shopkeepers to sit down, she personally took the booklet and handed it to Nanny Feng beside her. Nanny Feng took a look at it and quickly put it into her arms.
Shopkeeper Hua spoke in a vague way, and Mrs. Lin didn't show anything strange. When the girls saw the ordinary blue-covered booklet, they thought it was just a pattern of Jinhua Pavilion's clothes, so they didn't pay too much attention to it.
And put it on the conversation between a few people.
Lin Yijia is different.
Jinhua Pavilion will indeed send some newly designed clothing patterns to nobles from time to time for them to taste, but the book, not to mention the quality of the paper, will definitely have the bright and conspicuous mark of Jinhua Pavilion on the cover.
The booklet just now was more like an account book.
Could it be that the Lin Mansion or mother actually had shares in Jinhua Pavilion? She didn't know it? And how did the mother's "support" to them as mentioned by the two shopkeepers come about?
Of these two shops, Jinyulou is a time-honored brand, and the master behind it is Prince Hengfu. Almost everyone knows that it is the home of the powerful people in the capital. Prince Hengfu also controls the clan mansion, which is extremely noble. Although Jinhua Pavilion is not that old, it is
It is also the property of the hometown of Song Ge, the chief minister of the cabinet...
Before Lin Yijia could figure it out, Mrs. Lin said: "I know you two are very busy, let's get started now."
"good."
The two shopkeepers stopped being polite, stood up, each took out the golden keys hanging in the hidden places on their bodies, and opened the boxes one by one.
There was only one big box belonging to Jinyulou. So she moved a step faster.
The big box was opened, revealing neatly arranged jewelry boxes with no visible number. The two female clerks following her came forward, took out the jewelry boxes one by one, and placed them on the large table inside.
On the square table.
After setting it up, it will be easy to see clearly——
There are six boxes in a row, six rows in total, six or thirty boxes.
The two female clerks stepped back, and shopkeeper Jin took out a slightly smaller golden key and opened the golden locks on the twelve boxes one by one.
At this time, shopkeeper Hua over there, with the help of her female clerk, also started to take out the boxes from the big box. Of course, the box for clothes was much larger than the box for jewelry. Two big boxes
Inside, a total of twelve boxes were taken out, placed on the table and unlocked, and the rest were left where they were for the time being.
Chapter completed!
