Poems of grievances are all lies [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 29

After selling rice noodles and other things from the West Market and carrying them back to the small courtyard, the two of them were already out of breath and collapsed on the mat, looking hopeless.

With food and clothing temporarily settled, Tang Xiaoshi began to draw the set of head and face jewelry according to the appearance in memory.

Mrs. Hou carefully prepared that hairstyle for her. It is elegant and refined, delicate and reserved, with complicated and delicate patterns.If there is no good painter, no matter how accurate her memory is, she will not be able to draw it.

Fortunately, she has a background in painting. She spent the past few years in the book and passed the time with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which made her improve a lot in this area.

Li Danyi was also proficient in painting before, although it is only in memory, it also helps a little.

It took her half a month to draw all the hairstyles for a set, and there were more than a dozen of them.

Yu Zhu flipped through the drawing papers one by one, exclaiming, "My lady, you actually have this ability."

"That is, do you admire me?"

"The servant girl is so impressed." Yu Zhu smiled and looked at each of them, "Everything is beautiful, and the style is novel, even this pair of earrings is different."

She smiled and carefully took the paper back from Yu Zhu's hand.These were painstakingly drawn by her one stroke at a time in half a month, and they are also the basis for her basic necessities of life in the future, so there must be no slight difference.He ordered Yu Zhu to bring a small wooden box and carefully roll up a dozen samples and put them in.

"Miss, are you tired? The maid will give you a shoulder squeeze." Yu Zhu got up and came over to rub her back and shoulders to loosen her muscles and bones.The technique is proficient, but it is comfortable.

"Lady, what should I do if the gentleman doesn't like it? Isn't my lady's hard work in vain?" Yu Zhu suddenly became worried.

"How can it be wasted? You also said that my wife and I designed this set of hairstyles to be novel and unique. He doesn't like it. Maybe some jewelry shop will sell it if he likes it. This hard work will not be in vain." She is very confident about this.

"That's good." Yu Zhu laughed loosely.

On the ninth day of the lunar new year, she asked Yu Zhu to help her dress up.She painted delicate and elegant makeup, wore the pearl hairpin that Li's mother had not prepared for Li Danyi, and wore a blue ink skirt, looking dignified and calm.Today can be regarded as going to discuss business, so it feels more formal, which is just right.

He went out with Yuzhu and came to the gate of Zhenbao Zhai in Xishi. Two women came out, holding each other's arms. One of the plump women said kindly: "Today, the historian went to Wei Shilang's house to hire."

"What about Mrs. Li from before?"

"I heard that she was reduced to a concubine."

"Relegated to a concubine?" The thin woman was shocked, showing an incredulous expression, "How can I be reduced to a concubine? Lady Li is General Li's beloved daughter, how could the historians be so humiliated?"

"I heard that she is childless, jealous, and doesn't care about her aunt. She was originally going to be divorced. The Shi family thought that both her father and brother were dead, and she couldn't bear to retire, so she was reduced to a concubine."

The thin woman sighed and sighed: "My mother's family is already like that, why don't they know how to live with patience. How did the Li family general and the eldest lady teach their daughters! Fortunately, Shi Lang is kind and righteous."

Tang Xiaoshi watched the two women get into the carriage in front of the door and drove away, she was stunned for a moment, full of anger.

Shi Cheng humiliated her internally, and ruined her reputation externally!And let her late parents be blamed by others.

Shi Cheng, you have done an amazing job for your own career!

She trembled with anger.

Yu Zhu looked at her a little scared, she had never seen a lady so angry.Supporting her, he whispered, "Miss, calm down, don't listen to them chewing their tongues."

"I can't swallow this breath!" She gritted her teeth and said bitterly.

Humiliated her, assassinated her, and now she is still ruining her reputation, and Li Jiaqing's reputation, and he still has a good reputation, where is the reason?

There is no one behind her, so she can have no scruples.

"Shi Cheng, you scumbag, I won't be a human if I don't take revenge!" She gritted her teeth and cursed.

"Miss Li." The man saw her standing outside the door for a while, and came out to greet her.

Only then did she slowly withdraw her gaze, forcefully suppressed the surging hatred in her heart, and followed the man into the door.

Sit down at the teahouse in the back, take two sips from the tea bowl, slowly calm down the intense emotions in your heart, tell yourself what you are here for today, there is no money in your pocket, and the business cannot be messed up.

After half a cup of tea, her inner emotions calmed down, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.After a while, the gentleman of that day came over, and the two parties sat down to talk after saluting.

"Have you drawn all the samples of a set of head and face jewelry?"

Tang Xiaoshi opened the wooden box on the table, took out a stack of blueprints and handed them to him: "Mr.

Lang Jun took it with a smile, laid it flat on the table and looked at it carefully one by one, smiling meaningfully while looking at it.Tang Xiaoshi couldn't figure out what his smile meant, so she kept silent, waiting to see his next reaction.

After reading it, Mr. Lang asked with a smile, "Are these painted by the lady herself?"

"Yes."

"It's expensive to customize a pair of head and face jewelry according to the lady's pattern."

It can be seen that the gentleman in front of him is satisfied with the pattern she designed, but he is hesitant about the craftsman's cost, which is beyond her control.

"Lang Jun doesn't seem like someone short of this little money." She said with a smile, "This head and face are polished and carved by craftsmen. Since the man is a dowry for the future wife, why not give up? The little lady can give up her parents and relatives, and give her whole life and the rest of her life to the man for decades, and serve the uncle for him to have children and daughters. The hedging face is nothing compared to that."

Lang Jun looked at her, his eyes slowly moved to the pearl hairpin on her bun, and he suddenly smiled.

"Tao can't refute my lady's words." He looked at the dozen or so patterns in front of him again, and said with a smile, "This set of hairstyles is exquisitely designed, and it's really extraordinary. Tao is very satisfied. What's the price?"

She didn't answer, but looked at the clerk in the shop next to her.

The man understood what he meant, took a look at the blueprint, and said with a smile: "Lady's design is considered top-notch, but we pay attention to reputation in this industry. From the mark on the lady's drawing, it can be seen that it is the first time that the lady designed the design, and the lady is in This trip has no reputation. So the selling price of these patterns is greatly reduced."

He sorted out more than a dozen pieces of paper in his own way, flipped through them from beginning to end, and said, "The whole set is worth eight thousand dollars."

Tang Xiaoshi frowned slightly, but she knew in her heart that the man hadn't lied to her.A few days ago, she took the pattern and went to several shops to disassemble it and asked the price. The total sum was about [-] yuan.

I worked hard to draw more than a dozen pictures in half a month, my eyes were dry and my hands were sore, and I didn't know how many drawings were wasted. In the end, it was only worth [-] yuan, and I was still a little unwilling.

Tao Lang said with a smile, "It's calculated in ten thousand dollars."

Tang Xiaoshi looked at him in surprise, eight thousand is high, and he took the initiative to add?

Two thousand dollars is nothing more than a drop in the bucket to him, but it is not too little to her now.

"Will the lady agree?" Tao Lang asked.

Tang Xiaoshi glanced at a dozen or so drawings, stretched out her hand to take them back, and flipped through them again. Every stroke was carefully drawn by her. There is only this one edition, and there is no backup, so I really don't want to part with it.

After flipping through it several times, he hesitated for a while, and finally decided that she wanted to eat anyway.There will definitely be better designs in the future!

Tao Lang smiled and gave instructions to the servant beside him, and the servant took out some redemption tickets and handed them to her.

She took a look and it was indeed ten thousand dollars, not a single penny.

"Thank you, lady." She bowed her hands.

"The concubine and Tao Lang are just a transaction, so there is no need to say thank you." She glanced at the exchange ticket in her hand, then looked at the pattern on the table, hesitated for a while before getting up and leaving.

Leaving Zhenbaozhai, I took Yuzhu to a restaurant in the city to eat and drink, then went shopping around the market, bought a lot of things, stopped by the bookstore, and bought some books on strange skills and obscenity Go back and study.

Since then, her life has become a little more moist. Every day she reads books and studies jewelry designs, plays with flowers and plants, or teases cats and dogs in the alley, feeds birds, and even looks at ants and insects, hoping to find something from them. inspiration.

Sometimes I go to the street market to look at women's hairpin jewelry, or visit jewelry stores.In the past three months, she has visited almost all the jewelry shops in Chang'an City, big and small.

During the period, whenever she had an idea, she drew it at any time, and then sorted it out slowly, but she designed a lot of patterns, and only a pair of Yingluo satisfied her the most.In the end, Yingluo was sold to Zhenbaozhai. At the same time, I heard that Tao Lang's custom-made headgear was almost finished, and the few things he made were indeed gorgeous.

Seeing the finished products with her own eyes, she couldn't help admiring the master craftsmen of Zhenbaozhai, the jewelry they made was almost exactly the same as Xiao Yiren's set.

It is inevitable to think about people when you see things, even though you know that they are all people in the book, it is still inevitable.On the way back to the General's Mansion on the Lantern Festival, she was brought here by God, and she didn't even have time to say goodbye to Liang Zhuan.

"What are you thinking, lady?" Yu Zhu gently pushed her.

He came back to his senses, smiled and put down a step shaker in his hand, "It's nothing, I was surprised by the master's skill."

The guy smiled and praised the master of the shop.

Leaving Zhenbaozhai, she went to a shop selling funeral goods, pulled two feet of linen back, but didn't buy any paper money for sacrifices.On the way back to the small courtyard, Yu Zhu couldn't help asking curiously: "Is the lady going to pay homage to the master, mistress and gentlemen?"

"Sacrifice myself."

Yu Zhu was so frightened that she grabbed her arm and was about to cry. "Miss, don't scare the servant girl."

She smiled and said, "Do you think I'm going to die? Let me tell you, it's a pity that I'm dead."

"Who is that lady?"

"Sixteenth is Shi Cheng's wedding day, I'm going to touch him and send him bad luck."

"No!" Yu Zhu immediately panicked and persuaded, "It's too dangerous. If the wife makes such a big fuss and clashes with the lord's great joy, the lord will definitely be furious, and he will definitely not spare the lady. The lady must never. "

"It's not that he doesn't forgive me, it's that I don't forgive him. Don't worry, I'm sure." She comforted Yu Zhu.

"My lady, don't be impulsive." Yu Zhu was even more anxious, desperately persuading her.

In her view, this is completely hitting the stone with the egg.They are helpless now, and to trouble the historians is to seek their own death.

Tang Xiaoshi made up her mind.

This was something she had thought about for a long time. Shi Cheng was ruthless and ungrateful to her. He would kill her if he used it up.She kept holding this breath in her heart, and she was about to get sick after holding it in for a few months, how could she not come out.

She knew that her strength was limited and she couldn't fight against Shi Cheng. On his wedding day, there were many relatives and friends present, so this was an opportunity.She was sure that Shi Cheng would not dare to do anything to her in front of everyone.

"Don't persuade me, I must go."

"My lady." Yu Zhu was so anxious that tears flowed down her cheeks, she kept persuading her all the way to the small courtyard.

Tang Xiaoshi didn't listen at all, she wouldn't miss such a rare opportunity to ruin Shi Cheng.

Next, she carefully cut the linen into mourning caps with great interest, and sewed them bit by bit by herself.
