Chapter 1012 Lost the desire to buy.
After Qiu's mother left.
That left Mrs. Qiu alone in the hall.
She has to be polite even before they get married. I don’t know how polite she will be even after they get married!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Mrs. Qiu was angry for a while, thinking about the value behind this politeness.
Mrs. Qiu was originally a little angry.
Later I thought, based on what happened today, it’s not certain whether we can get married in the future.
After all, she was the one who was filial to her mother-in-law all these years.
After all, I am the one who takes care of my mother-in-law whenever she feels a little unwell.
It’s not that she is really that filial, it’s mainly because her husband is filial and she dare not be unfilial.
At least my husband has no intention of taking a concubine.
Her mother-in-law also protected her, and her family didn't have much financial resources, so she could only be humble and serve as a servant.
I think my mother-in-law said this just to let people in.
Besides, what happened today, no matter how polite I am.
I'm afraid my sister-in-law has been holding a grudge against me for a long time, so I don't even need to say anything.
Just watch.
One can easily imagine how lively the days ahead will be.

The people from the Qiu family left.
Shen Xia asked someone to ask if the fan was ok.
Finally the servant came back and said.
After the work is completed, let Shen Xia go to inspect it in person to see if there is anything that needs to be changed.
If you need to change it, just process it.
In fact, the goods can be delivered to your door, but Shen Xia would rather go out and take a look.
Shen Xia and Song Jiang went to the gold shop together.
The shopkeeper very politely took out the golden fan that Shen Xia had customized.
"Princess, please take a look and see if there is anything that needs to be renovated."
Shen Xia stared at the fan in the box.
This is really good workmanship.
Plus her designs.
Phoenix accessories at this time.
But not everyone can use it. Only royal relatives and ministers can use it.
The phoenix can be divided into three-tailed and five-tailed.
The five-tail shape can only be used by the Queen.
Even the imperial concubine can’t do that.
But ordinary people cannot use the Phoenix.
So the golden fan designed by Shen Xia is a pair of phoenixes.
Modern wealthy people prefer Chinese-style weddings and also use golden fans, but they use auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes.
Dragons cannot be used in this era.
So Shen Xia chose a pair of phoenixes as the design.
The phoenix and the mandarin duck are the same.
Male in front, female in back.
The phoenix is male and the huang is female.
The males have two tails and the females have three tails.
The overall design is also very beautiful.
Shen Xia looked at the phoenix above and it seemed so lifelike.
Even the tassels on the side are so delicate.
The entire fan is made of weaving technology, while the phoenix is made of wire drawing, enamel and engraving techniques.
Shen Xia was very satisfied with the overall effect. It looked like a collectible at first glance.
Shen Xia reached out and picked it up.
heavy.
This weight must be at least two kilograms!
"Yes, it's good. The craftsmanship of this master is superb. No need to modify it. How much is the silver?"
The shopkeeper heard that Princess Anping was satisfied.
There is an uninvited feeling in my heart.
"As long as the princess is satisfied, money is nothing. I have a favor to ask, princess. I wonder if the princess can agree to it."
Shen Xia looked at the golden fan in her hand with satisfaction, feeling good: "What's the matter? Just tell me directly."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This fan is indeed very pretty. I wonder if our shop can make this pattern?"
Shen Xia refused without hesitation: "No, this is my friend's wedding, I want to give her a unique gift."
The shopkeeper was stunned and a little disappointed: "Okay, then I won't force it."
Seeing the shopkeeper's disappointed look, Shen Xia was a sincere person: "But you can change it a little, try a different pattern, but it can't be exactly the same."
When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Thank you so much, Princess. I won't charge you for the workmanship this time. You just need to pay for the gold itself."
Shen Xia did not refuse: "Okay."
One catty today is equivalent to sixteen taels in ancient times.
It looks like it weighs more than two kilograms.
The boss said it was 42 taels of gold.
Shen Xia paid four hundred and twenty taels of silver.
In fact, at this time, the complexity of gold craftsmanship and the price of gold are equally important.
Even higher.
For example, a hairpin weighs one tael, which is equivalent to ten taels of silver.
But the selling price was twenty taels.
Of course, this also depends on the gold shop.
In a relatively ordinary small shop, a hairpin worth one tael of silver can be bought for fifteen taels of silver.
At this time, things are also divided by brand.
So there are brand benefits in every era.
Shen Xia put away the things.
Ruyi was holding it beside her.
Song Jiang looked at something else and said, "Xia Xia, do you want to buy some more for yourself?"
Shen Xia quickly shook her head: "No need."
She has so many jewels that she can't wear them all.
Lost the desire to buy.
When Shen Xia looked around, he found a good-looking dagger next to him.
It is also inlaid with sapphires.
Shen Xia fell in love with it at first sight.
why!
Because when she looked over, there was an angle where the light from the gem flashed on her.
There is actually fire.
That is a high quality gemstone!
I remembered the dagger that my eldest brother wanted to give me when I was at my hometown.
Although I didn't receive it.
But you can see that the eldest brother likes things like daggers.
The shopkeeper looked at Shen Xia's expression and said, "The princess likes this dagger."
"Ah."
The shopkeeper stepped forward quickly.
Bring the dagger and the box over for Shen Xia to see.
Shen Xia picked it up gently.
There are not just one gem in the middle, but two, one on the front and one on the back, which is pretty good.
Shen Xia was curious about what kind of technology was used in this era to cut this hard gem so neatly.
Shen Xia picked it up and handed it to Song Jiang: "Brother, does it look good?"
Song Jiang nodded: "It looks good."
Song Jiang thought Shen Xia was bought for self-defense.
When Shen Xia heard Song Jiang say it was beautiful, she knew she liked it.
Then he asked, "How much?"
The shopkeeper said politely, "Since the princess likes it, I won't ask for a higher price. If I sell it to someone else, it would cost five hundred taels. If the princess likes it, I'll give you three hundred taels! This dagger is not only valuable because of the gems on it, but also because the blade is made of black iron. It can cut iron like mud, but it can also cut wood like mud!"
Shen Xia was surprised. It was amazing that he could carve wood like mud!
Having said that, the shopkeeper asked someone to demonstrate it.
Is it true?
This is too powerful! The bone was cut off in an instant!
What a knife!
Shen Xia felt like she had found a treasure, because she was not short of money, but she liked this kind of rare thing!
Song Jiang planned to take the money.
Shen Xia stopped it.
This was a gift from her to him, how could she let him pay for it!
And every year my eldest brother sends back so many things, does he still have money?
Song Jiang saw that Shen Xia didn't let him pay.
There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Doesn’t Xia Xia need his money anymore?
Song Jiang felt a little depressed again.
After Ruyi paid the money.
The shopkeeper packed the box and handed it to Shen Xia.
"Princess, keep it."
"it is good."
"Princess, walk slowly."
The group left the gold shop.
Because the weather is hot, Shen Xia, who originally wanted to go shopping, now has no plans to stay outside.
After getting on the carriage, he asked the driver to go back home.
Shen Xia saw that Song Jiang was a little depressed.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
When Song Jiang heard Shen Xia calling him, he raised his head and his brows immediately relaxed and smiled, "It's okay, I'm just leaving in a few days, and I'm a little reluctant."
That said.
Shen Xia finally understood. That's what was happening.
My eldest brother doesn't want to leave.
But it doesn't matter.
Now they are very passive.
Wait another year.
Wait until they are strong enough.
There is no need to be so afraid.
At that time, she could go wherever she wanted?
She could still take time to go to the border to accompany him as before.
