Previously, the Marquis knew that she was keen on collecting pearls and gems, so he asked for one of the master craftsmen in the palace.
This old master has been making jewelry all his life. As he gets older, his hands are not so steady and his eyesight is blurry.
It stands to reason that it is best to go home and take care of yourself in old age, but unfortunately your children and grandchildren are not living up to expectations, and it is still difficult to survive.
Therefore, I heard that the Marquis Mansion asked him to make a sacrifice for a hundred taels of silver a year. On weekdays, he just made some small things and jewelry for the princess.
He happily agreed at that time, so his children and grandchildren went to work in the village of the Marquis Mansion, and he just waited for the little princess to arrange errands.
He had just received a handful of transparent gems before, and he was having a headache and couldn't act like a princess.
Suddenly, another intensive job came up, which could be regarded as a way to show off one's skills and change one's ideas.
So, on the afternoon of the second day, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion personally brought congratulatory gifts and a box to the door.
The congratulatory gifts were of course prepared for Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui, so the box was given directly to Jiayin.
The big butler half-bent and explained clearly to the young master, "Master Shi said that those transparent gems are very hard. He needs to think about it for more time. Please allow the princess some more time!"
Jiayin waved his hand nonchalantly and said : "Uncle Butler, tell Master Shi for me that I'm not in a hurry, just let him think about it."
"Thank you for your understanding, Princess." The chief steward smiled and turned to praise Mrs. Li, "The Princess is really kind and generous. She has always been so considerate."
Mrs. Li smiled from ear to ear. "This child is born to be kind and righteous, never willing to make things difficult for others, and has a generous temper!
"Just say eating snacks. Every time I get a snack box, Everyone in the family, big and small, had to sit in a circle before she was willing to put it in her mouth without protecting the food at all. "
After that, she thought of tomorrow's wedding banquet and asked, "The Liu family has scheduled the wedding for tomorrow. There will be banquets in the village and the Cui family. Where will the housekeeper go to drink?
"Of course you came to our house! " "The butler immediately responded, "Our family is so lively, and the fourth lady's food is also first-rate and delicious! Nowadays, countless people in Xindu are rushing to order private dishes, but they still can't order them. Of course, I have to come to satisfy my craving. "
When Mrs. Li heard this, she became even more happy.
After chatting for a few more times, the housekeeper was about to return to the city.
Jiayin asked Shuiling to bring him a basket of fruits, and then hugged the box. He jumped up and ran to the Cui family yard to find Mr. Wen.
Mr. Wen had been waiting for more than ten years, and his dream would finally come true. He was extremely excited these two days.
He had to pretend to be calm in front of others, but behind others, But he was so excited that he couldn't eat or sleep. He was practicing calligraphy at the moment and trying to calm down.
Suddenly seeing good news coming, Mr. Wen put down his pen and asked: "Where are Shui Ling and Shui Yun, why don't any of them follow me to serve them? "
Jiayin smiled and patted the box in his hand, "Because I have a secret to tell my uncle, so I didn't let them come.
"Oh, what secret? " Have you gotten into trouble and want your uncle to intercede for you? "
Mr. Wen didn't take it seriously. Although the little girl is smart, she is still a child.
As a result, Jiayin quickly opened the box in her hand, and a bead crown as big as a palm was placed in the box.
The pearls were shining brightly. Although each bead is not very big, it is perfectly round.
Careful craftsmen threaded it through silver threads and twisted it into a hair crown.
The sunlight outside the window penetrated through the cracks in the window, and was projected on the bead crown one by one, slowly . Radiant, extremely beautiful!
Not to mention Mr. Wen, even the good news was dumbfounded.
Master Shi is so awesome, he made the pearls look like gems.
"Fu Niu'er, what are you..." Mr. Wen guessed At what time, he asked tentatively.
Sure enough, Jiayin pushed the pearl crown in front of him cruelly, "Uncle, this is prepared for you, you keep it for your aunt." I wish you and your sister-in-law eternal love and complete happiness! " Although Mr. Wen is now penniless, he still accepts gifts from everyone in the Li family calmly, whether they are new clothes, shoes, bedding or accessories.
Because he knows that his friendship with the Li family is lifelong, and there will always be a time when he can repay it in the future!
But now he had to accept a gift from a little girl, which was jewelry specially prepared for him, and asked him to give it to his wife. He was really moved and ashamed.
He is such an old man, and he still needs a child to worry about for him...
"Fu Niu'er, I can't have it, please keep it for yourself..."
Jiayin picked up the beaded crown and put it directly into Mr. Wen's hand, almost He gritted his back molars and said, "Uncle, don't be polite anymore. If you continue to be polite, I'm afraid I will regret it!"
Mr. Wen was stunned for a moment, and saw that the little girl's eyes were staring at the pearl crown, as if she was cutting flesh. It seemed that he couldn't help it and laughed.
"Okay, okay, I'll accept it for your sister-in-law, and I'll ask her to give you a better set later!" Mr. Wen quickly took the beaded crown and put it in the drawer, completely blocking the eyes that were reluctant to part with the good news.
Jiayin looked at the box and saw how many pearl hairpins, earrings, rings and other small things were there, and knew that Master Shi had made them with the remaining beads.
So she said hello, jumped down, picked up the box and ran away again.
This caused Mr. Wen to yell at her from behind to stop falling.
Tao Hongying was busy in the kitchen with several village women when her sleeves were suddenly pulled by her daughter, and she was startled, "What's the matter, Fu Niu'er, are you hungry?"
"No, mother, come here. " !" Jiayin pulled her mother to sit on the threshold, then took out the most beautiful hairpin from the box and inserted it into her mother's bun.
Tao Hongying still wanted to dodge, "Oh, I was cooking, and there was so much smoke. Wearing such a good thing is a waste."
"No, it looks good on my mother!" Jiayin insisted, and took the silver lilac from her mother's ear. After coming down, I changed the pearl pendant, finally kissed my mother with satisfaction, and went back to the house with a smile.
"The older this kid gets, the crazier he gets!" Tao Yongying scolded, but his face turned into a smile. He stretched out his hand to carefully support Zhu Chai, and continued to work.
Soon, Mrs. Li, Huiniang, Sister-in-law Liu, Dongmei, and Aunt He, who were threading needles in the room, all got jewelry from the fat girl, and they were all surprised.
"Is this the second time?" Madam Hui held the pearl pendant in her hand and said with a smile: "Last time I went to a banquet, Fu Niuer made sure to dress up my sister-in-law, and I got the glory once."
Sister-in-law Liu He joked: "This is my first time. It seems that I will come to help my aunt often in the future. Maybe in a year and a half, I will have saved a box."
Everyone laughed and made calculations. , I have some free time after these few days, so I quickly make a new dress, shoes and socks for the little girl.
The children are friendly and generous to them, and it is not good for them to take advantage of the children.
Mrs. Li was forcefully stuffed with a pearl string and ring by her granddaughter.
In fact, at her age, she was no longer suitable to wear these, but she still wore them.
Everyone continued to do needlework and chatted.
Jiayin was lying next to her grandma, rolling around in various ways.
Thinking about the beaded crown just now, she must ask Master Shi to wear another one for her in the future.
No, two!
She wants to wear one and look at it. There are many pearls stored in the left and right spaces!
Thinking like this, she closed her eyes and wandered around in space, taking stock of her little treasury. As a result, she fell asleep after a while...
