Qiqiao turned around and said to Shopkeeper Jin: "Shopkeeper, my lady said that the painting of Beauty Under the Moon on the wall is very eye-catching. I would like to ask if that painting is for sale?"
Hua Zhuo glanced at her and said, "I'm not doing it for your own good, but it seems like my good intentions are not rewarded."
Hua Zhuo's tassel was also tied. She strung five-color agate beads with five-color strings and paired them with the jade pendant of five bats holding sesame. She followed Zhuang Jing's suggestion. The quality of this piece of jade was not very good. There are many variegated colors. Fortunately, the craftsman carefully carved all the variegated areas into bats. The five bats have five colors and complement each other well with the five-color strings and five-color agate beads. It has invisibly improved the quality a lot. Free gift Giving Cheng Ning a birthday gift will not seem too expensive, nor will it make people feel unworthy.
Shopkeeper Jin hurriedly smiled and said: "Young lady, you are joking. Since our store is called Jinshi, naturally we only sell gold stones. The paintings on the wall were originally written by the old owner of our store. They are just for self-admiration. If your lady likes paintings, , turn left when you go out and go straight, there is a calligraphy and painting shop at the corner of the street."
Qiqiao was also stringing beaded flowers. When she saw Hua Yiren's technique, her eyes lit up and she worked harder on her hands. After a while, an identical lotus-shaped beaded flower appeared on her hand.
Hua Yiren arrived soon after. She was wearing a large cloak embroidered with white plum blossoms and red brocade. After taking it off, she revealed a chinchilla skin waistcoat underneath. Her hair was pulled back casually, loosely, with only a piece of silver inlaid with pearls. The hairpin is fixed, and although there is a little makeup on the face, it is obviously a little thinner, but it adds a bit more charm.
Qiqiao didn't say much, turned around and left, catching up with Hua Zhuo and his party.
Slowly exhaling, she finally suppressed the struggle in her heart, put the wax pill away again, and put the phoenix pendant back on her body. The matter was of great importance, and she should not act rashly without consulting her father. But if you have time, you can go shopping in that Jinshi Hall and see if there are pictures like Beauty Under the Moon in other elegant rooms. Moreover, if there is a phoenix pattern, there must be a dragon pattern. Maybe The clue to Long Pei is in Jinshi Hall.
Shopkeeper Jin hurriedly smiled and said: "Young lady, you are joking. Since our store is called Jinshi, naturally we only sell gold stones. The paintings on the wall were originally written by the old owner of our store. They are just for self-admiration. If your lady likes paintings, , turn left when you go out and go straight, there is a calligraphy and painting shop at the corner of the street."
Hua Yiren sneered and said, "My father and brother should be worried about this matter, so why are you thinking about it for me instead?"
Zhuang Jing happily grabbed the jade belt buckle and got out of the car without even having time to put on the curtain hat. Mei Xian and Lan Xian were so frightened that they quickly chased after her and put the curtain hat on her.
"I just got here and am wandering around the front store..."
Aunt Liu just mentioned it. Although she felt sorry for the money, she didn't feel that the money was just thrown into the water. After saying this, she stood up and left, and went to do some shopping.
Hua Yiren painstakingly drew the patterns for the remaining gemstones, and then sent them all to the silver house to be made into jewelry.
Hua Zhuo was a little surprised, thought for a while, and said: "If the money is really not enough, just withdraw some from the restaurant first. The valuable ones in the New Year gift have been bought, and the remaining medicinal materials, cloth, wine and meat, candied fruits, dried fruits, etc. , It’s just a small head, it should be enough. After the New Year, we will prepare to return to Huainan Mansion, and there will be no big expenses."
Hua Yiren nodded slightly at Qiqiao. This girl is not bad. With a little training, she will definitely be a big help to Hua Zhuo in the future. She had some concerns in her heart and decided to get closer to Qiqiao in the future.
Zhuang Jing happily grabbed the jade belt buckle and got out of the car without even having time to put on the curtain hat. Mei Xian and Lan Xian were so frightened that they quickly chased after her and put the curtain hat on her.
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
Hua Yiren caught a cold a few days ago and has been hiding in the house to recuperate. She didn't even go to see the fifteenth aunt when she left. She has gotten better in the past few days, but she still needs to recuperate. Hua Zhuo is afraid that she will blow the wind again. She was cold, so she didn't call her when she went out on the street yesterday, but now she wants to string beads and make handicrafts. Hua Yiren is quite ingenious in this regard. Besides, she has been bored in the house alone for the past few days, so it's time to invite her. Come and talk together.
Hua Yiren sneered and said, "My father and brother should be worried about this matter, so why are you thinking about it for me instead?"
Zhuang Jing chuckled and said, "You've made a good argument. If you don't tell me, then I'll make the decision for you. Let me think about it... How about I give you a hairpin in return?"
Hua Yiren sneered and said, "My father and brother should be worried about this matter, so why are you thinking about it for me instead?"
Early the next morning, Grandma Liu came to Hua Zhuo to tell her about her predicament after her big deal. Fortunately, Hua Zhuo had already made new clothes and jewelry before, otherwise it would have been another big expense.
Looking at their retreating figures, Shopkeeper Jin narrowed his eyes and suddenly remembered the shape that Hua Zhuo inadvertently drew when he gestured with the size of the blood jade. He didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that he thought about it, wasn't it exactly the same shape? A phoenix that just flutters its wings and wants to fly.
After leaving the elegant room, he grabbed a waiter and asked.
Qiqiao didn't say much, turned around and left, catching up with Hua Zhuo and his party.
Aunt Liu just mentioned it. Although she felt sorry for the money, she didn't feel that the money was just thrown into the water. After saying this, she stood up and left, and went to do some shopping.
"No, no, there's no way to go back on the gift you've already given. Ah, park the car. Not far ahead is the Minister's Mansion. Mei Xian and Lan Xian, let's get out of the car and walk back."
Hua Yiren looked at the movements of her hands and said, "I see that these you picked out are not for lace. This piece of jade is really excellent. Is it for making pendants?"
"No, no, there's no way to go back on the gift you've already given. Ah, park the car. Not far ahead is the Minister's Mansion. Mei Xian and Lan Xian, let's get out of the car and walk back."
"You can't just stay at home all the time. When it's time to go out for a walk, you still have to go for a walk. Besides, sister Yiren, you are already getting haircut and are still waiting to be married. If you don't go out more, how will you let others know how good you are." Zhuo glanced at Hua Yiren and advised.
Looking at their retreating figures, Shopkeeper Jin narrowed his eyes and suddenly remembered the shape that Hua Zhuo inadvertently drew when he gestured with the size of the blood jade. He didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that he thought about it, wasn't it exactly the same shape? A phoenix that just flutters its wings and wants to fly.
With his thoughts in mind, Hua Zhuo was a little tired of shopping on the street that day. He tasted the snacks from the pastry shop and thought they tasted pretty good, so he ordered some for New Year gifts, and then hurriedly returned to Taiye Pond. Old house.
"I have only been ill for a few days, but you are so generous. You have purchased so many things?" Hua Yiren glanced at the table and said slightly surprised.
Hua Zhuo quickly asked Chen Ning to send two people to follow him, and sent Zhuang Jing back to the Vice Minister's Mansion. When it was late at night, she took out the wax pill given by the fifteenth aunt and put it in the palm of her hand with Feng Pei. She stared at it for more than half an hour without opening it.
After Hua Zhuo calmed down, he asked Qiqiao to fetch the jade pieces and various agates, gems, etc. he bought yesterday, and asked Baxiu to invite Hua Yiren.
"Is the old shopkeeper here today?"
Hidden in the wax pill was a list of some of the family properties that Mr. Zeng had hidden in the past. She didn't know if Jinshitang would be in it, but the pattern on the picture of beauty under the moon was similar to the pattern printed on the phoenix pendant dipped in cinnabar. The lines were so similar that she couldn't believe there was no connection.
"I have only been ill for a few days, but you are so generous. You have purchased so many things?" Hua Yiren glanced at the table and said slightly surprised.
Hua Zhuo's tassel was also tied. She strung five-color agate beads with five-color strings and paired them with the jade pendant of five bats holding sesame. She followed Zhuang Jing's suggestion. The quality of this piece of jade was not very good. There are many variegated colors. Fortunately, the craftsman carefully carved all the variegated areas into bats. The five bats have five colors and complement each other well with the five-color strings and five-color agate beads. It has invisibly improved the quality a lot. Free gift Giving Cheng Ning a birthday gift will not seem too expensive, nor will it make people feel unworthy.
Even Zhuang Jing could tell that she had something on her mind, but she thought differently. She thought Hua Zhuo was worried about how to give away the jade belt buckle that she picked for Zhuang Zheng, so she made fun of her again and said: " I will take this jade belt buckle away and give it to the second brother for you, but I want to say hello first, what gift do you want the second brother to give you in return?"
"You can't just stay at home all the time. When it's time to go out for a walk, you still have to go for a walk. Besides, sister Yiren, you are already getting haircut and are still waiting to be married. If you don't go out more, how will you let others know how good you are." Zhuo glanced at Hua Yiren and advised.
Zhuang Jing happily grabbed the jade belt buckle and got out of the car without even having time to put on the curtain hat. Mei Xian and Lan Xian were so frightened that they quickly chased after her and put the curtain hat on her.
After leaving the elegant room, he grabbed a waiter and asked.
Hua Zhuo was arranging the silk ropes for knotting. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "The left and right ones are going to be sent out. It doesn't matter whether they are generous or not. You are also idle when you are idle. Help me match the color. I plan to use these agate beads to match it." Wear glass beads and make some lucky and auspicious knots."
"Then I have to thank you, sister." Hua Yiren lowered her head, went to the glass box and picked out a few beads, quickly strung them with thin threads into a lotus-shaped bead flower, and casually inserted it on Hua Zhuo's head. , "I gave my sister a flower to express my gratitude. If I marry the man I want in the future, it will be all thanks to my sister."
"I'd better help you get hooked up. Just go and you don't have to take me with you. I don't like socializing with those wealthy ladies anyway."
After leaving the elegant room, he grabbed a waiter and asked.
"Then I have to thank you, sister." Hua Yiren lowered her head, went to the glass box and picked out a few beads, quickly strung them with thin threads into a lotus-shaped bead flower, and casually inserted it on Hua Zhuo's head. , "I gave my sister a flower to express my gratitude. If I marry the man I want in the future, it will be all thanks to my sister."
Hua Yiren smiled and said: "It's not difficult. As long as it matches the luster, the straps will look good no matter how you tie them." As he said that, he picked up a few pink strings and put a few black agate beads on them. Let Baxiu try it himself.
Qiqiao was also stringing beaded flowers. When she saw Hua Yiren's technique, her eyes lit up and she worked harder on her hands. After a while, an identical lotus-shaped beaded flower appeared on her hand.
Hidden in the wax pill was a list of some of the family properties that Mr. Zeng had hidden in the past.

Besides, sister Yiren, you are already getting haircut and are still waiting to be married. If you don't go out more, how will you let others know how good you are." Zhuo glanced at Hua Yiren and advised.
Even if she has a phoenix, even if she is the legitimate eldest daughter of Rongan Hall, her great-grandfather has passed away for so many years, who is taking care of the hidden properties on the list? And how many of these people, like the sixth old man, the fifteenth aunt, and Hua Yiren's family, remember the kindness of their great-grandfather back then.
"I have just stayed in Beijing longer than you, so I have learned more. You will all catch up in a few days."
Hua Yiren arrived soon after. She was wearing a large cloak embroidered with white plum blossoms and red brocade. After taking it off, she revealed a chinchilla skin waistcoat underneath. Her hair was pulled back casually, loosely, with only a piece of silver inlaid with pearls. The hairpin is fixed, and although there is a little makeup on the face, it is obviously a little thinner, but it adds a bit more charm.
"Miss Yiren's skills are really good." Baxiu was dumbfounded. In terms of the speed and technique of making the knots, she was not inferior to Hua Yiren, but the stitches she made didn't have that elegant taste. .
Shopkeeper Jin hurriedly smiled and said: "Young lady, you are joking. Since our store is called Jinshi, naturally we only sell gold stones. The paintings on the wall were originally written by the old owner of our store. They are just for self-admiration.

"Thank you, shopkeeper."
Qiqiao didn't say much, turned around and left, catching up with Hua Zhuo and his party.
Although Hua Zhuo was thoughtful, he still couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard this. He rolled his eyes at Zhuang Jing and said, "I don't know what the jade belt buckle is. It was clearly your choice. I just gave it to you." , you can send it to whomever you like, and I don’t want any gift in return.”
Hua Yiren looked at the movements of her hands and said, "I see that these you picked out are not for lace. This piece of jade is really excellent. Is it for making pendants?"
"Miss Yiren's skills are really good." Baxiu was dumbfounded. In terms of the speed and technique of making the knots, she was not inferior to Hua Yiren, but the stitches she made didn't have that elegant taste. .

Moreover, if there is a phoenix pattern, there must be a dragon pattern. Maybe The clue to Long Pei is in Jinshi Hall.
"No, you're teasing me like this. I won't give you the jade belt buckle. Bring it here."
"Miss, the silver we have brought is not much. In the past few days, we still need to buy some medicinal materials, cloth, wine and meat, preserves, dried fruits, etc. Rongchang Hall has a New Year's gift, and Zhennan Prince's Palace also wants to give it. , I heard that Rongruitang will also stay in Beijing to celebrate the Chinese New Year, so I’m afraid we have to prepare a copy there. In addition, it’s not convenient for us to go to Zhuang Shilang’s house, but the courtesy is indispensable."
Qiqiao didn't say much, turned around and left, catching up with Hua Zhuo and his party.
Zhuang Jing chuckled and said, "You've made a good argument. If you don't tell me, then I'll make the decision for you. Let me think about it... How about I give you a hairpin in return?"
Hua Zhuo was embarrassed. No one understood the meaning of giving a hairpin. A girl with hairpins should wear a hairpin on her head. It also indicated that she was ready to get married. If Zhuang Zheng really gave her a hairpin as a gift in return, wouldn't he be urging her to get married? Well.
"I'd better help you get hooked up. Just go and you don't have to take me with you. I don't like socializing with those wealthy ladies anyway."
"Miss Yiren still knows more tricks." Qiqiao said modestly.
While gossiping, stringing beads, tying strings, chatting and laughing, I didn't think much of it. It was basically done in one day. Hua Yiren was persuaded by Hua Zhuo for a few words, but she did not refuse anymore. She carefully made a double fish network, using red agate as the fish eyes, and the fish scales were made of gold and silver double threads, which was exquisite without looking shabby, and she was ready to make a birthday gift.
Hua Zhuo's tassel was also tied. She strung five-color agate beads with five-color strings and paired them with the jade pendant of five bats holding sesame. She followed Zhuang Jing's suggestion. The quality of this piece of jade was not very good. There are many variegated colors. Fortunately, the craftsman carefully carved all the variegated areas into bats.

"Good intentions."
"I have just stayed in Beijing longer than you, so I have learned more. You will all catch up in a few days."

Besides, she has been bored in the house alone for the past few days, so it's time to invite her. Come and talk together.
Zhuang Jing chuckled and said, "You've made a good argument. If you don't tell me, then I'll make the decision for you. Let me think about it... How about I give you a hairpin in return?"
"You can't just stay at home all the time. When it's time to go out for a walk, you still have to go for a walk. Besides, sister Yiren, you are already getting haircut and are still waiting to be married. If you don't go out more, how will you let others know how good you are." Zhuo glanced at Hua Yiren and advised.
Hua Zhuo nodded and said: "The third day of the Lunar New Year is the birthday of the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. She has invited me. I have been thinking about it and prepared to make a tassel with my own hands. This jade pendant with five blessings and a title is very meaningful. Okay, set it on the tassel, it will be a good birthday gift. By the way, take a look at these. You can tie them as you like. Anyway, you are clever, so no matter what you tie, it will be good. I will take you with me then."
Even if she has a phoenix, even if she is the legitimate eldest daughter of Rongan Hall, her great-grandfather has passed away for so many years, who is taking care of the hidden properties on the list? And how many of these people, like the sixth old man, the fifteenth aunt, and Hua Yiren's family, remember the kindness of their great-grandfather back then.
Hua Yiren sat down and picked some azure strings. After a while, a delicate and beautiful plum blossom network was completed, and five white agate beads were embellished on it, which was simple and elegant.
"No, no, there's no way to go back on the gift you've already given. Ah, park the car. Not far ahead is the Minister's Mansion. Mei Xian and Lan Xian, let's get out of the car and walk back."
Hua Zhuo was embarrassed. No one understood the meaning of giving a hairpin. A girl with hairpins should wear a hairpin on her head. It also indicated that she was ready to get married. If Zhuang Zheng really gave her a hairpin as a gift in return, wouldn't he be urging her to get married? Well.
People's hearts are unpredictable, and relatives can't be fully trusted, let alone someone they've never even met.
"No, no, there's no way to go back on the gift you've already given. Ah, park the car. Not far ahead is the Minister's Mansion. Mei Xian and Lan Xian, let's get out of the car and walk back."
"Miss Yiren still knows more tricks." Qiqiao said modestly.
People's hearts are unpredictable, and relatives can't be fully trusted, let alone someone they've never even met.
"Miss Yiren still knows more tricks." Qiqiao said modestly.
Hua Yiren arrived soon after. She was wearing a large cloak embroidered with white plum blossoms and red brocade. After taking it off, she revealed a chinchilla skin waistcoat underneath. Her hair was pulled back casually, loosely, with only a piece of silver inlaid with pearls. The hairpin is fixed, and although there is a little makeup on the face, it is obviously a little thinner, but it adds a bit more charm.
"Good intentions."
"Miss, the silver we have brought is not much. In the past few days, we still need to buy some medicinal materials, cloth, wine and meat, preserves, dried fruits, etc. Rongchang Hall has a New Year's gift, and Zhennan Prince's Palace also wants to give it. , I heard that Rongruitang will also stay in Beijing to celebrate the Chinese New Year, so I’m afraid we have to prepare a copy there. In addition, it’s not convenient for us to go to Zhuang Shilang’s house, but the courtesy is indispensable."
While gossiping, stringing beads, tying strings, chatting and laughing, I didn't think much of it. It was basically done in one day. Hua Yiren was persuaded by Hua Zhuo for a few words, but she did not refuse anymore. She carefully made a double fish network, using red agate as the fish eyes, and the fish scales were made of gold and silver double threads, which was exquisite without looking shabby, and she was ready to make a birthday gift.
"Miss Yiren's skills are really good." Baxiu was dumbfounded. In terms of the speed and technique of making the knots, she was not inferior to Hua Yiren, but the stitches she made didn't have that elegant taste. .
Slowly exhaling, she finally suppressed the struggle in her heart, put the wax pill away again, and put the phoenix pendant back on her body. The matter was of great importance, and she should not act rashly without consulting her father. But if you have time, you can go shopping in that Jinshi Hall and see if there are pictures like Beauty Under the Moon in other elegant rooms. Moreover, if there is a phoenix pattern, there must be a dragon pattern. Maybe The clue to Long Pei is in Jinshi Hall.
"You can't just stay at home all the time. When it's time to go out for a walk, you still have to go for a walk. Besides, sister Yiren, you are already getting haircut and are still waiting to be married. If you don't go out more, how will you let others know how good you are." Zhuo glanced at Hua Yiren and advised.
Hua Yiren sneered and said, "My father and brother should be worried about this matter, so why are you thinking about it for me instead?"
"Then I have to thank you, sister." Hua Yiren lowered her head, went to the glass box and picked out a few beads, quickly strung them with thin threads into a lotus-shaped bead flower, and casually inserted it on Hua Zhuo's head. , "I gave my sister a flower to express my gratitude. If I marry the man I want in the future, it will be all thanks to my sister."
Looking at their retreating figures, Shopkeeper Jin narrowed his eyes and suddenly remembered the shape that Hua Zhuo inadvertently drew when he gestured with the size of the blood jade. He didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that he thought about it, wasn't it exactly the same shape? A phoenix that just flutters its wings and wants to fly.
"I just got here and am wandering around the front store..."
"Miss, the silver we have brought is not much. In the past few days, we still need to buy some medicinal materials, cloth, wine and meat, preserves, dried fruits, etc. Rongchang Hall has a New Year's gift, and Zhennan Prince's Palace also wants to give it. , I heard that Rongruitang will also stay in Beijing to celebrate the Chinese New Year, so I’m afraid we have to prepare a copy there. In addition, it’s not convenient for us to go to Zhuang Shilang’s house, but the courtesy is indispensable."
Hidden in the wax pill was a list of some of the family properties that Mr. Zeng had hidden in the past. She didn't know if Jinshitang would be in it, but the pattern on the picture of beauty under the moon was similar to the pattern printed on the phoenix pendant dipped in cinnabar. The lines were so similar that she couldn't believe there was no connection.
Qiqiao was also stringing beaded flowers. When she saw Hua Yiren's technique, her eyes lit up and she worked harder on her hands. After a while, an identical lotus-shaped beaded flower appeared on her hand.
Early the next morning, Grandma Liu came to Hua Zhuo to tell her about her predicament after her big deal. Fortunately, Hua Zhuo had already made new clothes and jewelry before, otherwise it would have been another big expense.
Hua Zhuo was a little surprised, thought for a while, and said: "If the money is really not enough, just withdraw some from the restaurant first. The valuable ones in the New Year gift have been bought, and the remaining medicinal materials, cloth, wine and meat, candied fruits, dried fruits, etc. , It’s just a small head, it should be enough. After the New Year, we will prepare to return to Huainan Mansion, and there will be no big expenses."
Hua Yiren painstakingly drew the patterns for the remaining gemstones, and then sent them all to the silver house to be made into jewelry.
But... so what if it's opened
Hua Zhuo was arranging the silk ropes for knotting. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "The left and right ones are going to be sent out. It doesn't matter whether they are generous or not. You are also idle when you are idle. Help me match the color. I plan to use these agate beads to match it." Wear glass beads and make some lucky and auspicious knots."
"I have just stayed in Beijing longer than you, so I have learned more. You will all catch up in a few days."
"Good intentions."
Hua Zhuo was a little surprised, thought for a while, and said: "If the money is really not enough, just withdraw some from the restaurant first.

If I marry the man I want in the future, it will be all thanks to my sister."
Hua Zhuo's tassel was also tied. She strung five-color agate beads with five-color strings and paired them with the jade pendant of five bats holding sesame. She followed Zhuang Jing's suggestion. The quality of this piece of jade was not very good. There are many variegated colors. Fortunately, the craftsman carefully carved all the variegated areas into bats. The five bats have five colors and complement each other well with the five-color strings and five-color agate beads. It has invisibly improved the quality a lot. Free gift Giving Cheng Ning a birthday gift will not seem too expensive, nor will it make people feel unworthy.
After Hua Zhuo calmed down, he asked Qiqiao to fetch the jade pieces and various agates, gems, etc. he bought yesterday, and asked Baxiu to invite Hua Yiren.
"Miss, you have an idea. Although the cost of entering the capital this time is a bit high, I see that the money is not in vain. It is very useful."
"I have only been ill for a few days, but you are so generous. You have purchased so many things?" Hua Yiren glanced at the table and said slightly surprised.
But... so what if it's opened
"Is the old shopkeeper here today?"
Looking at their retreating figures, Shopkeeper Jin narrowed his eyes and suddenly remembered the shape that Hua Zhuo inadvertently drew when he gestured with the size of the blood jade. He didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that he thought about it, wasn't it exactly the same shape? A phoenix that just flutters its wings and wants to fly.
Aunt Liu just mentioned it. Although she felt sorry for the money, she didn't feel that the money was just thrown into the water. After saying this, she stood up and left, and went to do some shopping.
Early the next morning, Grandma Liu came to Hua Zhuo to tell her about her predicament after her big deal. Fortunately, Hua Zhuo had already made new clothes and jewelry before, otherwise it would have been another big expense.
While gossiping, stringing beads, tying strings, chatting and laughing, I didn't think much of it. It was basically done in one day.

Hua Yiren caught a cold a few days ago and has been hiding in the house to recuperate. She didn't even go to see the fifteenth aunt when she left. She has gotten better in the past few days, but she still needs to recuperate. Hua Zhuo is afraid that she will blow the wind again. She was cold, so she didn't call her when she went out on the street yesterday, but now she wants to string beads and make handicrafts. Hua Yiren is quite ingenious in this regard.

Qiqiao didn't say much, turned around and left, catching up with Hua Zhuo and his party.

Hua Yiren arrived soon after. She was wearing a large cloak embroidered with white plum blossoms and red brocade. After taking it off, she revealed a chinchilla skin waistcoat underneath. Her hair was pulled back casually, loosely, with only a piece of silver inlaid with pearls.

Qiqiao was also stringing beaded flowers. When she saw Hua Yiren's technique, her eyes lit up and she worked harder on her hands. After a while, an identical lotus-shaped beaded flower appeared on her hand.
Qiqiao turned around and said to Shopkeeper Jin: "Shopkeeper, my lady said that the painting of Beauty Under the Moon on the wall is very eye-catching. I would like to ask if that painting is for sale?"
Zhuang Jing chuckled and said, "You've made a good argument. If you don't tell me, then I'll make the decision for you. Let me think about it... How about I give you a hairpin in return?"
Hua Zhuo's tassel was also tied. She strung five-color agate beads with five-color strings and paired them with the jade pendant of five bats holding sesame. She followed Zhuang Jing's suggestion.

Free gift Giving Cheng Ning a birthday gift will not seem too expensive, nor will it make people feel unworthy.
Hua Yiren looked at the movements of her hands and said, "I see that these you picked out are not for lace. This piece of jade is really excellent. Is it for making pendants?"
Hua Zhuo was arranging the silk ropes for knotting. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "The left and right ones are going to be sent out. It doesn't matter whether they are generous or not. You are also idle when you are idle. Help me match the color. I plan to use these agate beads to match it." Wear glass beads and make some lucky and auspicious knots."

Hua Yiren sneered and said, "My father and brother should be worried about this matter, so why are you thinking about it for me instead?"
Even Zhuang Jing could tell that she had something on her mind, but she thought differently. She thought Hua Zhuo was worried about how to give away the jade belt buckle that she picked for Zhuang Zheng, so she made fun of her again and said: " I will take this jade belt buckle away and give it to the second brother for you, but I want to say hello first, what gift do you want the second brother to give you in return?"
"Good intentions."
Hua Yiren looked at the movements of her hands and said, "I see that these you picked out are not for lace. This piece of jade is really excellent. Is it for making pendants?"
Qiqiao didn't say much, turned around and left, catching up with Hua Zhuo and his party.

Qiqiao didn't say much, turned around and left, catching up with Hua Zhuo and his party.
"Miss Yiren still knows more tricks." Qiqiao said modestly.
Shopkeeper Jin hurriedly smiled and said: "Young lady, you are joking. Since our store is called Jinshi, naturally we only sell gold stones. The paintings on the wall were originally written by the old owner of our store. They are just for self-admiration. If your lady likes paintings, , turn left when you go out and go straight, there is a calligraphy and painting shop at the corner of the street."
Hua Yiren looked at the movements of her hands and said, "I see that these you picked out are not for lace. This piece of jade is really excellent. Is it for making pendants?"
"Good intentions."
"I'd better help you get hooked up. Just go and you don't have to take me with you. I don't like socializing with those wealthy ladies anyway."
Slowly exhaling, she finally suppressed the struggle in her heart, put the wax pill away again, and put the phoenix pendant back on her body. The matter was of great importance, and she should not act rashly without consulting her father. But if you have time, you can go shopping in that Jinshi Hall and see if there are pictures like Beauty Under the Moon in other elegant rooms.

Hua Yiren sat down and picked some azure strings. After a while, a delicate and beautiful plum blossom network was completed, and five white agate beads were embellished on it, which was simple and elegant.
Hua Yiren smiled and said: "It's not difficult. As long as it matches the luster, the straps will look good no matter how you tie them." As he said that, he picked up a few pink strings and put a few black agate beads on them. Let Baxiu try it himself.

"You can't just stay at home all the time. When it's time to go out for a walk, you still have to go for a walk. Besides, sister Yiren, you are already getting haircut and are still waiting to be married. If you don't go out more, how will you let others know how good you are." Zhuo glanced at Hua Yiren and advised.
"No, you're teasing me like this. I won't give you the jade belt buckle. Bring it here."
Hua Yiren nodded slightly at Qiqiao. This girl is not bad. With a little training, she will definitely be a big help to Hua Zhuo in the future. She had some concerns in her heart and decided to get closer to Qiqiao in the future.
Even if she has a phoenix, even if she is the legitimate eldest daughter of Rongan Hall, her great-grandfather has passed away for so many years, who is taking care of the hidden properties on the list? And how many of these people, like the sixth old man, the fifteenth aunt, and Hua Yiren's family, remember the kindness of their great-grandfather back then.
"No, you're teasing me like this. I won't give you the jade belt buckle. Bring it here."
"No, you're teasing me like this. I won't give you the jade belt buckle. Bring it here."
Hua Yiren looked at the movements of her hands and said, "I see that these you picked out are not for lace. This piece of jade is really excellent. Is it for making pendants?"
Hua Zhuo quickly asked Chen Ning to send two people to follow him, and sent Zhuang Jing back to the Vice Minister's Mansion. When it was late at night, she took out the wax pill given by the fifteenth aunt and put it in the palm of her hand with Feng Pei. She stared at it for more than half an hour without opening it.
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
Hua Yiren sneered and said, "My father and brother should be worried about this matter, so why are you thinking about it for me instead?"
But... so what if it's opened
"No, no, there's no way to go back on the gift you've already given. Ah, park the car. Not far ahead is the Minister's Mansion. Mei Xian and Lan Xian, let's get out of the car and walk back."
"Miss Yiren still knows more tricks." Qiqiao said modestly.
Hua Zhuo glanced at her and said, "I'm not doing it for your own good, but it seems like my good intentions are not rewarded."
After leaving the elegant room, he grabbed a waiter and asked.
"No, no, there's no way to go back on the gift you've already given. Ah, park the car. Not far ahead is the Minister's Mansion. Mei Xian and Lan Xian, let's get out of the car and walk back."
"I have only been ill for a few days, but you are so generous. You have purchased so many things?" Hua Yiren glanced at the table and said slightly surprised.
"Good intentions."
Even Zhuang Jing could tell that she had something on her mind, but she thought differently. She thought Hua Zhuo was worried about how to give away the jade belt buckle that she picked for Zhuang Zheng, so she made fun of her again and said: " I will take this jade belt buckle away and give it to the second brother for you, but I want to say hello first, what gift do you want the second brother to give you in return?"

"Then I have to thank you, sister." Hua Yiren lowered her head, went to the glass box and picked out a few beads, quickly strung them with thin threads into a lotus-shaped bead flower, and casually inserted it on Hua Zhuo's head. , "I gave my sister a flower to express my gratitude. If I marry the man I want in the future, it will be all thanks to my sister."
"No, you're teasing me like this. I won't give you the jade belt buckle. Bring it here."

After the New Year, we will prepare to return to Huainan Mansion, and there will be no big expenses."

Zhuang Jing chuckled and said, "You've made a good argument. If you don't tell me, then I'll make the decision for you. Let me think about it... How about I give you a hairpin in return?"
Hua Yiren painstakingly drew the patterns for the remaining gemstones, and then sent them all to the silver house to be made into jewelry.
"Is the old shopkeeper here today?"
With his thoughts in mind, Hua Zhuo was a little tired of shopping on the street that day. He tasted the snacks from the pastry shop and thought they tasted pretty good, so he ordered some for New Year gifts, and then hurriedly returned to Taiye Pond. Old house.
"No, no, there's no way to go back on the gift you've already given. Ah, park the car. Not far ahead is the Minister's Mansion. Mei Xian and Lan Xian, let's get out of the car and walk back."
Hua Zhuo was a little surprised, thought for a while, and said: "If the money is really not enough, just withdraw some from the restaurant first.

Hua Zhuo was embarrassed. No one understood the meaning of giving a hairpin. A girl with hairpins should wear a hairpin on her head. It also indicated that she was ready to get married. If Zhuang Zheng really gave her a hairpin as a gift in return, wouldn't he be urging her to get married? Well.
"Good intentions."
With his thoughts in mind, Hua Zhuo was a little tired of shopping on the street that day. He tasted the snacks from the pastry shop and thought they tasted pretty good, so he ordered some for New Year gifts, and then hurriedly returned to Taiye Pond. Old house.
Hua Zhuo was a little surprised, thought for a while, and said: "If the money is really not enough, just withdraw some from the restaurant first. The valuable ones in the New Year gift have been bought, and the remaining medicinal materials, cloth, wine and meat, candied fruits, dried fruits, etc. , It’s just a small head, it should be enough. After the New Year, we will prepare to return to Huainan Mansion, and there will be no big expenses."
Aunt Liu just mentioned it. Although she felt sorry for the money, she didn't feel that the money was just thrown into the water. After saying this, she stood up and left, and went to do some shopping.
Hua Yiren nodded slightly at Qiqiao. This girl is not bad. With a little training, she will definitely be a big help to Hua Zhuo in the future. She had some concerns in her heart and decided to get closer to Qiqiao in the future.
Hua Yiren caught a cold a few days ago and has been hiding in the house to recuperate. She didn't even go to see the fifteenth aunt when she left. She has gotten better in the past few days, but she still needs to recuperate. Hua Zhuo is afraid that she will blow the wind again. She was cold, so she didn't call her when she went out on the street yesterday, but now she wants to string beads and make handicrafts. Hua Yiren is quite ingenious in this regard. Besides, she has been bored in the house alone for the past few days, so it's time to invite her. Come and talk together.
"Miss, you have an idea. Although the cost of entering the capital this time is a bit high, I see that the money is not in vain. It is very useful."
Qiqiao didn't say much, turned around and left, catching up with Hua Zhuo and his party.
"Miss Yiren still knows more tricks." Qiqiao said modestly.
Hua Zhuo glanced at her and said, "I'm not doing it for your own good, but it seems like my good intentions are not rewarded."
Hua Yiren nodded slightly at Qiqiao. This girl is not bad. With a little training, she will definitely be a big help to Hua Zhuo in the future. She had some concerns in her heart and decided to get closer to Qiqiao in the future.
"You can't just stay at home all the time. When it's time to go out for a walk, you still have to go for a walk. Besides, sister Yiren, you are already getting haircut and are still waiting to be married. If you don't go out more, how will you let others know how good you are." Zhuo glanced at Hua Yiren and advised.
Hua Zhuo's tassel was also tied. She strung five-color agate beads with five-color strings and paired them with the jade pendant of five bats holding sesame. She followed Zhuang Jing's suggestion. The quality of this piece of jade was not very good. There are many variegated colors. Fortunately, the craftsman carefully carved all the variegated areas into bats. The five bats have five colors and complement each other well with the five-color strings and five-color agate beads. It has invisibly improved the quality a lot. Free gift Giving Cheng Ning a birthday gift will not seem too expensive, nor will it make people feel unworthy.
Hua Yiren sneered and said, "My father and brother should be worried about this matter, so why are you thinking about it for me instead?"
After Hua Zhuo calmed down, he asked Qiqiao to fetch the jade pieces and various agates, gems, etc. he bought yesterday, and asked Baxiu to invite Hua Yiren.
With his thoughts in mind, Hua Zhuo was a little tired of shopping on the street that day. He tasted the snacks from the pastry shop and thought they tasted pretty good, so he ordered some for New Year gifts, and then hurriedly returned to Taiye Pond. Old house.
Hua Yiren arrived soon after. She was wearing a large cloak embroidered with white plum blossoms and red brocade. After taking it off, she revealed a chinchilla skin waistcoat underneath. Her hair was pulled back casually, loosely, with only a piece of silver inlaid with pearls. The hairpin is fixed, and although there is a little makeup on the face, it is obviously a little thinner, but it adds a bit more charm.
"I have just stayed in Beijing longer than you, so I have learned more. You will all catch up in a few days."
"I have only been ill for a few days, but you are so generous. You have purchased so many things?" Hua Yiren glanced at the table and said slightly surprised.
"Miss, the silver we have brought is not much. In the past few days, we still need to buy some medicinal materials, cloth, wine and meat, preserves, dried fruits, etc. Rongchang Hall has a New Year's gift, and Zhennan Prince's Palace also wants to give it. , I heard that Rongruitang will also stay in Beijing to celebrate the Chinese New Year, so I’m afraid we have to prepare a copy there. In addition, it’s not convenient for us to go to Zhuang Shilang’s house, but the courtesy is indispensable."
While gossiping, stringing beads, tying strings, chatting and laughing, I didn't think much of it. It was basically done in one day. Hua Yiren was persuaded by Hua Zhuo for a few words, but she did not refuse anymore. She carefully made a double fish network, using red agate as the fish eyes, and the fish scales were made of gold and silver double threads, which was exquisite without looking shabby, and she was ready to make a birthday gift.
Hua Zhuo nodded and said: "The third day of the Lunar New Year is the birthday of the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. She has invited me. I have been thinking about it and prepared to make a tassel with my own hands. This jade pendant with five blessings and a title is very meaningful. Okay, set it on the tassel, it will be a good birthday gift. By the way, take a look at these. You can tie them as you like. Anyway, you are clever, so no matter what you tie, it will be good. I will take you with me then."

"Miss Yiren's skills are really good." Baxiu was dumbfounded. In terms of the speed and technique of making the knots, she was not inferior to Hua Yiren, but the stitches she made didn't have that elegant taste. .

Even Zhuang Jing could tell that she had something on her mind, but she thought differently. She thought Hua Zhuo was worried about how to give away the jade belt buckle that she picked for Zhuang Zheng, so she made fun of her again and said: " I will take this jade belt buckle away and give it to the second brother for you, but I want to say hello first, what gift do you want the second brother to give you in return?"
"Miss Yiren's skills are really good." Baxiu was dumbfounded. In terms of the speed and technique of making the knots, she was not inferior to Hua Yiren, but the stitches she made didn't have that elegant taste. .
After Hua Zhuo calmed down, he asked Qiqiao to fetch the jade pieces and various agates, gems, etc. he bought yesterday, and asked Baxiu to invite Hua Yiren.
"Is the old shopkeeper here today?"
Hua Yiren nodded slightly at Qiqiao. This girl is not bad. With a little training, she will definitely be a big help to Hua Zhuo in the future. She had some concerns in her heart and decided to get closer to Qiqiao in the future.
Hua Yiren painstakingly drew the patterns for the remaining gemstones, and then sent them all to the silver house to be made into jewelry.
Hua Yiren arrived soon after. She was wearing a large cloak embroidered with white plum blossoms and red brocade. After taking it off, she revealed a chinchilla skin waistcoat underneath. Her hair was pulled back casually, loosely, with only a piece of silver inlaid with pearls. The hairpin is fixed, and although there is a little makeup on the face, it is obviously a little thinner, but it adds a bit more charm.
"Then I have to thank you, sister." Hua Yiren lowered her head, went to the glass box and picked out a few beads, quickly strung them with thin threads into a lotus-shaped bead flower, and casually inserted it on Hua Zhuo's head. , "I gave my sister a flower to express my gratitude. If I marry the man I want in the future, it will be all thanks to my sister."
"Miss Yiren's skills are really good." Baxiu was dumbfounded. In terms of the speed and technique of making the knots, she was not inferior to Hua Yiren, but the stitches she made didn't have that elegant taste. .
Hua Yiren sat down and picked some azure strings. After a while, a delicate and beautiful plum blossom network was completed, and five white agate beads were embellished on it, which was simple and elegant.
After leaving the elegant room, he grabbed a waiter and asked.
Even if she has a phoenix, even if she is the legitimate eldest daughter of Rongan Hall, her great-grandfather has passed away for so many years, who is taking care of the hidden properties on the list? And how many of these people, like the sixth old man, the fifteenth aunt, and Hua Yiren's family, remember the kindness of their great-grandfather back then.

Qiqiao turned around and said to Shopkeeper Jin: "Shopkeeper, my lady said that the painting of Beauty Under the Moon on the wall is very eye-catching. I would like to ask if that painting is for sale?"
