Shi Qing took the top lottery he had asked for and stepped into a jeweled shop—
Babao Court.
The largest jewelry store in the capital, it covers an area of more than 200 square meters and is three floors high.
As the most functional store, Babao Pavilion not only has the latest fashion in the capital, but also accepts customized drawings.
Shi Qing hand-painted drawings and customized a hosta for her father as a birthday present.
In the first two days, the engagement was announced and then the marriage was annulled in public. There were many things, so I happened to come to pick it up today.
Shi Qing arrived relatively early, and there were no real guests in Babao Pavilion, only the waiters were counting the goods and cleaning the porcelain on the wiping rack.
"What do you want to buy, distinguished guest?" Seeing the customer coming, the steward standing behind the counter to clear the account closed the account book in his hand and came out from behind.
The other party was a woman in her thirties or forties, wearing a royal blue winter robe, with a chubby figure and a smile on her face. After seeing the time clearly, she immediately cupped her hands to congratulate her, "It turns out that it is Mr. Xiao, what wind brought you here?" gone?"
… the wind of death.
Shi Qing passed the Tanhua exam but has not yet held a specific position. At this time, calling her Xiaoxiao is a compliment but it is not so appropriate.
"I'll get the hairpin." Shi Qing took out the receipt from his bosom and handed it to the manager, feeling too lazy to be serious when he got the lottery.
The applause's surname, Xu, took the list and looked at it carefully, "Okay, it's the lotus hairpin, right? Wait for me for a while, and I'll get it for you."
"The hairpin was made two days ago, and I've been wondering when you'll come to pick it up." Director Xu casually pointed to a waiter, "Tea isn't served yet."
Shi Qing was sitting in the lobby on the first floor waiting, and Manager Xu opened the curtain to go to the warehouse in the backyard.
Shi Qing stood in the same posture as before, and asked, "Is this all right?"
Mihe asked her suspiciously, "Little master, what can I do?"
"No, did it go so smoothly?" Shi Qing turned to look at Mi He, his tone a little unbelievable, "I thought there was some accident."
She never had anything to do with Shun Shun.
Now things are suddenly so simple, she can't believe it.
Shi Qing looked at the wooden stick that had been clutched in his hand, let out a light breath and sat on the chair, smiling, "It's pretty accurate."
Good luck, everything goes well.
Mihe laughed and said along with her, "It's quite accurate."
After all, they are selected one by one, and those who are not allowed are not accepted.
Xiaoer came up with hot tea and melon seed cakes.
Shi Qing was not in the mood to eat, and kept looking towards the curtain leading to the warehouse, waiting for her hairpin.
There must be no surprises, she is the woman who shakes out the top sign.
There is a few percent chance of being met by her, who can have such luck as her.
Shi Qing waited so eagerly for the hairpin, mainly because it might be his last gift to his father.
Daddy really has nothing to say to her, and he can't wait to dig out his heart to her. Shi Qing has been conflicted and struggling, fearful and guilty, but can't help approaching.
She has no family, and she has never had pure, strong and unreserved family affection. But whoever is nice to her, she will try her best to be nice to him.
Daddy Li is different from the lord who is the son of a small official. He is the son of a nouveau riche in Qingshan County, the hometown of the Shi family.
The old man hated the handsome and uneducated man the most in his life. He had always been dissatisfied with Mrs. Li and picked on him everywhere.
In order to please him, Mrs. Li dresses very low-key and restrained. Only then did Shi Qing think of giving him a jade hairpin, which is neither ostentatious nor extravagant.
This hairpin was made by Shiqing Palace Examination, and the person who received her at that time was also in charge of Xu.
When she saw the drawing, she said it was beautiful.
The hairpin that Shi Qing wanted was made of a whole piece of jade in one go, or Hetian white jade that is "like curdled fat, warm and delicate". The head of the hairpin is carved in the shape of a lotus flower, the petals are clearly blooming, and the details are so clear that even the pistils are clearly drawn.
The jade is warm and moist, the lotus is elegant, and most importantly, it is carved from a whole piece of jade, which not only tests the craftsmanship of the master, but also tests Shi Qing's financial resources.
At that time, Guanshi Xu asked too much, "It must be given to a very important person, right?"
For Shi Qing, Daddy is the most important person in this world, there is nothing wrong with him.
Director Xu opened the thick cloth curtain and came out, Shi Qing's thoughts came back, his eyes were slightly bright and he stood up.
Manager Xu's face was a little ugly, and the most important thing was that his hands were empty.
"..." Shi Qing leaned on the armrest of the chair and sat back slowly.
She felt that the next thing was suitable to sit and listen to.
"I forgot to tell you something." Manager Xu's eyes flickered, his expression slightly guilty, "Your hairpin, the shopkeeper sent someone to deliver it to you when he came on duty the day before yesterday."
sent it
"Who is it for?" Shi Qing wondered, "I made the hairpin custom-made, and I have all the receipts. Why didn't I receive anything?"
Has she been burned before she died
Come early.
Manager Xu was also embarrassed, she happened to be away that day, and the shopkeeper didn't know much about business, so the other party came here to be on duty because he was angry with his family and messed around.
Shopkeeper Xu had already asked the ins and outs of the matter in the back just now.
The day before yesterday, the hairpin had just been finished and sent over. The little shopkeeper sat on the back of the chair with his legs crossed and played with the jade wrench in his hand. He said casually, "It's ready? Just send it over when it's done."
Xiao Er is also stupid, "Who are you giving it to?"
"How do I know who she gave it to?" The little shopkeeper blew his fingers, and wiped his robe lightly, "Didn't she say?"
Xiao Er thought about it for a while, "I said it was for someone important."
"Oh, for a man." The shopkeeper raised his eyelids and looked at the list, "Shi Qing?"
She smacked her lips, "Isn't this person engaged to Mr. Shen's family? She was so beautiful in high school today, and this hairpin is probably given to Shen Yu. Come on, you can help her send it to Shen's house."
"Where did they go? The Shen family!" Shi Qing took a breath after hearing this, and stood up in surprise.
She said why the eldest prince came to divorce her and Shen Yu in such a hurry. His feeling was that when he saw the hairpin, he thought she was in a hurry to marry Shen Yu, so he hurried to speak clearly.
But without this hairpin, the eldest prince wouldn't be in a hurry to talk about it when the Shi family was throwing a big banquet, which openly broke Shi Qing's thoughts of "the toad wants to eat swan meat".
"My Shi family is now 'famous in the capital', so it's because of your shop's blessing."
Fortunately, she went out early today, otherwise when there are many people, someone must be pointing at her behind and making fun of her.
Shi Qing knew that fate would not let her cannon fodder go! Things definitely didn't go so well.
What is signed, it's all a feudal superstition!
She had already seen that the stall owner was unprofessional and definitely a liar!
Fortunately, she, a flower who grew up under the red flag of socialist atheism, never believed in this stuff!
Shi Qing patted the lottery that had been held all the way on the small table next to him, "I don't care who you gave the hairpin to. Now I, the owner, are here, and I want my hairpin."
It's not her fault that the goods were sent to the wrong person. Either reship the goods to her and rush to make one today, or go to her and ask for it back.
"If we rush to make it," said Xu in charge, "I'm afraid it will be too late. The hairpin is exquisitely made, and it will take at least three to five days."
And the best Hetian Baiyu, how can you be willing to buy it in the store.
"Then go and get the hairpin back for me." Shi Qing sat on the chair, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate and knocked them up.
Now she has some appetite, anyway, the matter can't be finished with a sentence or two, so let's talk slowly.
"My lord, the other party is the eldest prince's son, and if you give something away, there is no reason to return it." Shopkeeper Xu persuaded slowly.
When the oil and salt are not in, "I'm still my father's daughter! I didn't send the things, I don't care what you mean, I only know the reason why I come to the store to pick up things based on the receipt."
"Honey," Shi Qing spat out the melon seed husks on the table, and pointed to the door, "If I can't get my hairpin today, just stand there and shout."
Mihe quickly answered, "Little master, how can you shout, I can't do anything else, just have a loud voice."
Shi Qing looked at Mr. Xu with a teasing smile, "Just shout 'Babaoge store is deceiving the owner, defrauding consumption, defrauding things'."
She crossed her legs, leaned forward with her arms on her knees, raised her eyes and raised her eyebrows at Director Xu, "I'm 'famous' now, and I'm not afraid of being bitten if there are too many lice. Let's see who loses more."
"Sir, don't be like this when you are young. If you have something to say, speak up." Director Xu wiped his sweat anxiously.
What she meant was that Shi Qing was not short of money, such a good piece of jade could be made into a hairpin if it was said to be a hairpin, and there was no one who was short of money.
Moreover, the other party is the son of the eldest prince, the young master of the Shen family who is as talented as a woman. I don't know how many women rush to give him gifts and he doesn't accept them. Now that he accepts Shi Qing's hairpin, it can be regarded as her face.
Although the two families have divorced now, they can't be husband and wife, but it's okay to be siblings.
It's just a hairpin, why would I have the nerve to take it back if I gave it to Shen Yu.
"You're quite right." Shi Qing knocked on the melon seeds, just like the ornamental rats raised in the homes of dignitaries.
Master Xu nodded in agreement. She knew that Shi Qing was easy to talk, but who didn't know that Shi Qing had a good temper and was afraid of getting into trouble.
Shi Qing met Shopkeeper Xu's expectant gaze and said, "But I won't listen."
"..." Director Xu was almost shivered.
"I want my hairpin, you go and get it back for me."
Shi Qing is sorry, what is there to be embarrassed about.
The thing is hers, and she didn't say that she would give it to Shen Yu, it would be embarrassing if she didn't come back, it seemed like she was just licking a dog.
Manager Xu had no choice but Mihe next to him had already started drinking water to moisten his throat.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and called Xiao Er who delivered the things that day, "Go get the hairpin back, and say it was delivered by mistake."
This matter was originally Babao Pavilion's fault. It is impossible for such a large shop to be ruined by a hairpin.
If it's easy for other people, this is the daughter of Master Shi Tie Zui Shi, and she will sue the emperor if she makes a big fuss.
Xu Zhangshi just didn't expect that Shi Qing seemed to be a different person today, and it became difficult to deal with.
"My lord, if this matter gets out, I'm afraid it won't sound good." Manager Xu smiled, "There will probably be rumors outside that you are stingy."
"Could that be a rumor?"
Shi Qing grabbed another handful of melon seeds, as it should be, "Isn't that all the truth?"
"..."
Now that everyone knows about it, she doesn't hesitate to pretend again.
What happened to her being stingy, if she wasn't stingy, she would have been fooled by that little fortune teller just now.
Xiao Mian, don't let her meet again in the future!
