The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 239 Diamond Necklace

These words gradually moved Zhou Xiaozhu, but he still couldn't pass the threshold in his heart.

The food that Lin Xiazhi made in Jingguo was very common in his previous life, and he could find many of them by searching on the Internet, so Lin Xiazhi subconsciously didn’t think these recipes were important, they were very common in his opinion .

Of course, Zhou Xiaozhu's cautious attitude can also be understood by Lin Xiazhi, after all, this is the way it is in this era, all crafts and recipes are passed on to men and not brothers, otherwise the inheritance will not be broken often.

After chatting with Zhou Xiaozhu for half an hour, the waiter who was fragrant outside came in several times and said that there were too many guests.

After Lin Xiazhi finished speaking, he left Piaoxiang Shili quickly without delaying Zhou Xiaozhu's time.

He didn't go back to Cheng Zhai right away, instead he went to find the owner of the house.

Middle-aged people who are looking for houses and shops can go to the trading market. The middle-aged people who are free in Jiangning County gather in the tea shed in the southeast corner of the trading market.

"Does this husband want to take a look at the house or shop?" As soon as Lin Xiazhi passed by, several middle-aged people surrounded him.

The resources of houses or shops in the hands of each middleman are not necessarily the same. Lin Xiazhi asked all of them: "I want to see big shops that are not very busy and not remote. What do you have?"

"I'm looking for a tenant for a three-story shop on Xinyue Street."

"I have a two-story shop on Xinghua Street for sale."

"My husband, I don't know if you are interested in the shops on Minxi Street. There are several sets there that are not small in size."

……

Everyone swarmed out all the shops in their hands, making Lin Xiazhi's ears ringing: "You all come one by one, I can't even hear what you are saying!

Everyone fell silent, Lin Xiazhi took out a piece of straw paper, on which the streets of Jiangning County were roughly drawn, and asked the middle-aged man to point out the pavement in his hand on the paper.

From this point of view, there are quite a lot of them. Some are only for rent, some are only for sale, and some can be both rented and sold.

Because Lin Xiazhi had to go back to Cheng Zhai early today, and it would be too late to visit each family. He put away the straw paper and planned to come here again tomorrow to find these middle-aged people to take him to see the shop.

Lin Xiazhi was in a hurry to go back to Cheng's house because Cheng Diexi, the young master of Cheng's family and Cheng Wenliu's eldest brother, would bring his husband and child back today.

On weekdays, Mileage Diexi has been taking his children to study with him in the capital, and he can only come back during the Chinese New Year in a year. After Lin Xiazhi got married, he only received gifts from Cheng Diexi, and he never saw Cheng Diexi.

Cheng Diexi's husband is the youngest son of the magistrate of Jiangning. He passed the Juren examination three years ago and went to study in the capital.

After Lin Xiazhi entered the house, Cheng Diexi's son, Ximen Jin, ran up to him first. He had already turned three years old, and now he is four years old.

Seeing that Lin Xiazhi, whom he didn't know, was not shy at all, Ximen Jin raised his head and asked him seriously: "Are you the second uncle?"

There could only be one child of this age in Cheng Zhai at this time.

Lin Xiazhi knelt down to look at him, and answered him with a smile: "Xiao Jin'er is so smart, am I your second uncle? Happy New Year, Xiao Jin'er."

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiazhi took out the dim sum he brought back from the pastry shop: "Does Xiao Jin'er like mung bean cake the most?"

"Yeah." Ximen Jin nodded straight, showing a row of neat millet teeth, and then bouncing and pulling Lin Xiazhi in, said happily, "Second Uncle bought mung bean cake for Xiao Jin'er, mung bean cake is delicious !"

There were three people in the room, namely Cheng Fulang, Cheng Luanjing and a young husband whom he didn't know, apparently he was Cheng Diexi.

Cheng Diexi glanced at Ximen Jin in disapproval. Ximen Jin's cheerful steps just now slowed down like slow motion, and finally stood in front of Cheng Diexi, as if he had done something wrong and didn't know what was wrong. The appearance, the small appearance is very innocent and cute.

"Jin'er, did you thank Second Uncle?" Cheng Diexi asked Ximen Jin.

Ximen Jin's eyes widened and he covered his mouth with both hands, and then gave Lin Xiazhi a child's version of a scholar's gift: "Thank you, Jin Er, second uncle."

"Little Jin'er, you're welcome." Lin Xiazhi patted his little head.

Ximen Jin turned to Cheng Diexi, and handed the snack to Cheng Diexi: "Ah, can Xiao Jin eat mung bean cake?"

"You can eat one piece now, and you can have dinner later. You can't eat more. The rest will be kept for Jin'er, and we will eat it tomorrow." Cheng Diexi took out a small piece of mung bean cake and put it on the small table. on the plate.

Ximen Jin ate the mung bean cake without grabbing it. With the help of his servants, he wiped his hands with a damp cotton cloth, and then sat next to the table by himself, carefully eating the mung bean cake with a plate.

From the child's words and deeds, you can see the character of the person who teaches the child. Cheng Diexi must also be a person with restraint.

Speaking of which, it wasn't just Ximen Jin and Cheng Diexi. Lin Xiazhi followed the Cheng family back to Liaotai County this time, and he felt this kind of gentleness and courtesy from most of the Cheng family.

Lin Xiazhi looked at the interaction between Cheng Diexi and Ximen Jin, and thought of Ximen Jin's sensible and obedient appearance, and suddenly felt that if there was a child who combined the advantages of him and Cheng Wenliu, it would indeed be a joyful thing.

After Cheng Diexi had educated the child, Lin Xiazhi greeted him generously from the side: "Brother."

"Brother Xia, I have nothing to give you when we meet for the first time. I heard that you don't like decorative hairpins very much. This is a new style of hairpin I brought back from the capital. The style is relatively simple. Let's see if you like it." Like it?" Cheng Diexi picked up a gift box from the table beside him.

The gift box is not big, with the word "千" printed on the outside, the packaging is very exquisite, and it is worth a lot of money at first glance.

"Thank you, brother." Lin Xiazhi took the box with a smile on his face, carefully unpacked it, and picked up the hair tie inside.

The headband is very simple at first glance, with a white background, and the pattern of cranes is embroidered with silver and blue silk threads.

However, Lin Xiazhi's eyesight is different now, he can see at a glance that the silver thread is made by cluster silver technique.

The so-called tufted silver actually refers to winding a circle of extremely thin silver wire on the silk thread. This kind of silver wire is hand-drawn by artisans. Silver thread is resilient and can be used to embroider patterns on fabrics.

There is no decades-old craftsmanship that cannot be made, and its value cannot be simply measured by pure gold and silver.

In addition to the clusters of silver threads used on the cranes to make the cranes shine in the sun, very fine gold wires are also added to the white base of the entire hairband to increase the richness of the color of the hairband.

Although the gold and silver used in the hair band is not much, but the handmade value is not low, which perfectly explains what low-key luxury is.

Lin Xiazhi fell in love with this hairband at first glance, took off the previous hairband, and put on this hairband.

Seeing Lin Xiazhi's actions, the smile on Cheng Diexi's face deepened: "Sure enough, it's as good-looking as I thought."

"That's right. Brother Xia is wearing a royal blue jacket today. Wearing this headband looks like a young man who is going out for an outing." Cheng Fulang nodded with satisfaction. Every time his Brother Xi prepares a gift, everyone will accept it. People are satisfied and won his true biography.

"Brother, I also prepared a gift for you here, but my gift is not so amazing compared to what you gave me." Lin Xiazhi shyly took out the box he had prepared.

What lies in the box is the diamond he took from Cheng Jinyang. The cut of this diamond is perfect, no matter what angle it is placed in the sun, it will shine very beautifully.

When Lin Xiazhi was in Liaotai County, Cheng Jinyang asked Cheng Jinyang to help him find an old craftsman who was very famous for making silverware, and asked the old craftsman to tailor a wrapped case and a chain for the diamond.

Although diamonds are hard, they are easy to break. The shell made of silver wraps the diamonds, which not only improves the safety of the diamonds, but also prevents the sharp diamond cuts from scratching the skin.

Moreover, the hollowed-out silver shell is matched with sparkling diamonds, which improves the appearance of the diamonds by more than one level.

"Brother Xia, you are too modest, this necklace is so beautiful." Cheng Diexi's eyes lit up when he saw the diamond necklace in the box, and he didn't dare to touch it, as if he was worried that the diamond would be broken.

Most of Jingguo's local brothers like shiny jewellery, and the diamonds processed through the method proposed by Lin Xiazhi are just in line with their taste.

Cheng Diexi looked at the diamond necklace for a while, and couldn't help but take off the jade pendant he had worn around his neck before, and carefully put on the diamond necklace that Lin Xiazhi gave him.

Where there is a brother, there must be a bronze mirror, and Cheng Diexi, wearing a diamond necklace, can't stop looking at the bronze mirror.

Because Cheng Diexi gave birth to a child, he liked to wear clothes with less bright colors for the convenience of taking care of the child, which made him a few years older.

Now wearing the sparkling diamond necklace, he suddenly raised his age, looking a lot younger and more lively.

Cheng Fulang didn't know it was a diamond, he was attracted by the stone in the middle just looking at the necklace: "Xia Geer, this necklace is so beautiful, where did you buy it? The stone inside is a transparent stone from the Western Regions." Liuli? In addition to the necklace, are there any earrings and head flowers to match the jewelry?"

Cheng Fulang asked a series of questions, showing that he was really very interested in the diamond necklace.Yuxi team organizes, please pay attention.

"Ah, this stone is a diamond brought back by cousin Jinyang from the south. It is more precious and rare than the glazed stone from the Western Regions. I took three diamonds, one made into a necklace for eldest brother, one for you, and the rest One for Ah, it’s just that the chain with two diamonds hasn’t been finished yet, you can see it when Cousin Jinyang sends someone over to see it when it’s ready, I’ll give it to my eldest brother as he only comes back at this time.”

"As for the matching earrings and head flowers you mentioned, we can only wait for Cousin Jinyang to send more people to find some diamonds."
