Chapter 174

"Then what kind of business is this shop?" Shen Lidong asked again.

"This shop used to sell spices. This shopkeeper Wu has a great skill in perfumery, and so does his daughter. After receiving the true instruction from shopkeeper Wu, the perfumery skills of the father and daughter are well-known in this area, but It's a pity to provoke Zheng Guogong's mansion, but there is a daughter who is a concubine in the palace, and there is a third prince and a second princess, who are very favored by the emperor. sighed.

"In this way, the father and daughter have also suffered unreasonable disasters. This shopkeeper Wu is rare. If it is an ordinary father of a daughter, he would have given his daughter to the second son of Zheng Guogong's mansion. There is no need to retreat like this. So is Wu Mingzhu, she is a rare and transparent person, and she looks like a pretty girl." Shen Lidong had never seen the father and daughter of shopkeeper Wu, but he felt a little fond of them.

"How about it, Madam Yu, this shop looks good, and I'm very satisfied. Since the location is good and the feng shui is good, it's rare to have such a good omen. If the asking price is higher, it will be higher. Let's settle it like this." After Lidong finished looking at the store, he didn't look any further. The next thing was to ask Nanny Yu and Aunt Ru to negotiate with shopkeeper Wu.

However, she told Nanny Yu not to hurry back to the countryside, as she still needed the help of shopkeeper Wu and his daughter, so she asked Nanny Yu to make proper arrangements for the father and daughter of shopkeeper Wu. , do not give birth to trouble.

Nanny Yu obeyed Shen Lidong's orders, and followed Mrs. Ru to shopkeeper Wu to do follow-up matters.In this way, Shen Lidong took a good look at the shop, so he took Mulan out. It was a rare holiday, and it was hard to come out. Shen Lidong was not in a hurry to go back to the house, and took Mulan for a leisurely stroll on the bustling street.

First, I went to a jewelry shop. The jewelry here was exquisitely crafted. The jade pendants, jade rings and pendants were made of high-quality materials. Shen Lidong thought that next month would be the 12th birthday of his fourth brother Shen Wenhai, so he wanted to give He bought a gift and prepared it so that he could surprise Shen Wenhai when the time comes.

"Shopkeeper, can you make orders here?"

"Of course it is possible. As long as we have the blueprint of the jewelry, our jewelry pavilion will naturally have a way to order it for the lady." The shopkeeper on the cabinet of the jewelry pavilion greeted Shen Lidong with a smile.

"So, can I borrow the four treasures of the study from the shopkeeper?" Shen Lidong asked with a smile.

Seeing Shen Lidong's innocent smile at such a young age, the shopkeeper felt a little fond of him, so he asked the people below to prepare the Four Treasures of the Study for Shen Lidong.

Shen Lidong drew quickly with a brush, outlining the lines, and soon a very interesting Q version of eating and drinking pictures for the birthdays of the twelve zodiac animals appeared in the shopkeeper's eyes.

"Shopkeeper, I'll order this, a set of twelve, small pendants."

When the shopkeeper saw this picture, his eyes were like lightning, emitting green light. "I don't know what kind of jade the lady wants to use for carving?"

"Well, the shopkeeper must know more than this lady. The shopkeeper can use which kind of jade is suitable for engraving." Shen Lidong smiled, as if he believed in the shopkeeper very much.

Hearing what Shen Lidong said, the shopkeeper immediately assured: "Since Miss trusts me so much, I will definitely order twelve pendants that are exactly the same for Miss according to the original drawing."

"That's great. I don't know when I can pick up the pendant?"

"Miss can send someone to pick it up within fifteen days." The shopkeeper turned back to Shen Lidong, who calculated the time and nodded without delaying Shen Wenhai's birthday.

"Mulan, leave your name for the shopkeeper, pay the deposit, and you will pick up the goods in fifteen days."

"Yes, miss." Mulan left a deposit of 20 taels for the shopkeeper, and then followed Shen Lidong out of the Jewelry Pavilion. Just as they went out, a group of people came behind and happened to see Shen Lidong's ten taels A fun illustration of the birthdays of the two zodiac signs.

"This pendant is so exquisite. Next month is my elder brother's birthday. It would be a great idea to take this set of pendants as a gift to celebrate. Brothers, you are not allowed to compete with my younger brother." A 12-year-old boy with a childish face and a particularly innocent smile.

"Guest officers, I'm really sorry. This is a craft drawing drawn by the customer himself. I'm so sorry that I can't order the pendant customized by the customer for you." , presumably because his status is not simple, he dared not offend them, but he had to tell the truth.

"Isn't this the production drawing of your shop? It's a pity, such an interesting pendant can't be ordered anymore, I was thinking about making my brother happier this time, but unexpectedly, I still can't." The 12-year-old boy, Na Xi An expression of anger, sorrow and joy was revealed on his face, and he looked very disappointed.

"I'm sorry, young master, I can only act according to the rules." After all, Jewelry Pavilion is also a century-old shop with a reputation. I didn't want the four young masters in front of me to look at the picture of the twelve zodiac pendants, for fear that if they were happy with it, they might have to force his jewelry pavilion to order these twelve pendants for them.

But just as he was about to roll up, one of the four young masters noticed something sharply and blocked the shopkeeper's hand.

"Second brother, do you think the painting style of this painting is very similar to the one hanging in Brother Qi's room?" A handsome boy about sixteen years old saw this picture, his eyes flickered slightly.

"That's right, aside from the fourth brother, I can't see anything for my elder brother. Look at it, the painting style is really similar." The boy who was about eighteen years old held the picture and asked a 17-year-old proud man next to him. juvenile.

"Third brother, in your opinion, does it look like it?"

"I have only seen two such paintings. One is at Brother Qi's, and the other is in this jewelry pavilion. Such paintings can no longer be said to be similar, but they can only be said to be made by the same person."

"So, Brother Qi won't have anything to show off in the future, so we should ask this person to draw a picture for us." The 12-year-old boy's eyes are bright, shining like stars.

"Let's wait until Fifth Brother can find that person." The 16-year-old handsome boy seemed to think that finding this person was not an easy task.

That boy didn't worry about that. "Fourth brother is really worried too much. Isn't this the shopkeeper here? Just ask who sent it here, isn't it all right?"

"Well, four young masters, the lady who wrote the pen did not leave her address or name, but only left the name of a servant girl named Mulan. After fifteen days, that servant girl will come to the Jewelry Pavilion to collect twelve pendants." The shopkeeper shouldn't have told them this news, but he was afraid that if he refused the four of them again and again, he might be in trouble, so he had to tell the truth.

"Second brother, it seems that there is no hope." The 12-year-old boy drooped his head.

"Fifth brother, no, isn't the maid of that family picking up the pendant in fifteen days? I'll find out by sending someone to follow up when the time comes." The young man was full of confidence.

"Let's go, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother." A group of people left the jewelry pavilion in this way, and Shen Lidong was on the way back to the house, and he had no idea what her picture of the twelve zodiac signs celebrating birthday brought. big trouble.

After returning to his own bamboo lotus courtyard, Shen Lidong saw that the fifty pots of flowers that he ordered Mudie to cultivate were bathed in the sun at the moment, the clivia was elegant, the roses were pretty, the lilacs were leisurely, even the one The dwarf pine and cypress bonsai in pots are all neatly trimmed, with appropriate height and density.

After two months of careful cultivation by Mudie, these fifty pots of flower bonsai are growing very gratifyingly. When Shen Lidong saw it, he really felt that there was room for the flowers to be moved outside to bask in the sun. He squatted down and smelled these The fragrance of flowers made Shen Lidong feel refreshed and happy.
