Chapter 83 A hot gift
Chapter 83: Hot Gifts:
June 14th, Renyou Year, a time when God is in short supply, so it is a good time to open a business.
It happened to be a day off for bathing, so Su Mingjue got up happily in the morning, leaving Su Xiaoliu to wash up and dress up before going to Chunfeng Street to hold the opening ceremony.
Su Xiaoliu held three sets of robes in his hands and said hesitantly: "Young master looks good in red. Today is a big day, so why don't you wear this butterfly round-neck robe?"
Su Mingjue glanced at it and shook his head: "The color is festive, it's too ostentatious. We are opening a study, not a restaurant, so that's inappropriate."
Su Xiaoliu spread out another item after hearing this: "Then how about this bright yellow one? It's gold, it looks like an ingot to attract wealth."
Su Mingjue glanced at it and rejected it, "This is not good. The color is too conspicuous and not elegant enough. Although we are open for business, this study is different from others. It is still elegant and generous. "It's better."
There was only one piece left, and Su Xiaoliu handed it over, "Then this snow-green dark flower auspicious cloud pattern gown was sent by my wife. The material is light, the auspicious clouds have a good meaning, and it is also made by Jinling. The best embroidery craftsmanship in the city is much more exquisite than the vulgar ones in the capital."
Su Mingjue did not refute this time. The color was modest and elegant, and it was indeed very suitable for today. It was not ostentatious and not too low-key without the owner. look like.
Her hair is not combed like a student's hair like usual. Instead, it is divided into two parts. The top part is tied up with a green hairband of the same color, and the bottom part is draped directly over the shoulders. It looks upright and elegant. Elegant.
After dressing up, Su Mingjue took a carriage and headed to Chunfeng Street.
The study room on the first floor has been decorated for a long time. In addition to the ordinary books placed on the shelves outside, a special area has been designated to display "Dream of Red Mansions" written by Cao Xueqin.
Thanks to his previous advertising, many people had already gathered outside the study. With the sound of firecrackers, red fragments covered the ground. Su Mingjue pulled away the red cloth covering the plaque above the study. For a moment, "Holy The four characters "Ji Shu Zhai" appeared in front of the public.
The black characters on a red background were specially written by Su Mingjue, who spent a lot of money to hire a famous writer in the capital. The font is dignified and solemn yet flexible, which is in line with Su Mingjue's positioning of a study. A study can be not only very high-end, but also very approachable.
At the end of the unveiling ceremony, Su Mingjue was about to say a few words when a loud voice came from not far away, "Meng Helan from the Meng Mansion presented a golden god of wealth to congratulate the opening of Shengji's study."
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers on the street clicked their tongues . Be amazed.
"What is the origin of Shengji's study that actually attracted Master Wuxian to come and send congratulatory gifts?"
"Don't you know this? The "Cricket on National Policy" was written by the shopkeeper here."
"Huo, let's put it this way. The shopkeeper is very talented, no wonder Young Master Wuxian came to support him. "
...
Su Mingjue looked outside while listening to the discussion below, and saw Meng Helan wearing a purple water-patterned round robe. Holding a fan in his hand, he walked behind the gift giver, looking cool and carefree.
Su Mingjue stayed on him for a moment, and was soon attracted by the shining golden statue of the God of Wealth in front of him. Looking at the color and dazzling luster, it was not just pure gold but at least it was gilded.
Walking to the door of the study, Meng Helan waved his hand, and the boy carrying the lacquer tray presented the God of Wealth to Su Mingjue.
Meng Helan shook her fan and said with a smile on her face: "It is inevitable to say goodbye in a vulgar way. This golden god of wealth is just right. I wish your study a prosperous business." No
matter how much Su Mingjue disliked Meng Helan on weekdays, he had to say that this god of wealth is the best. It was sent to his heart. Who doesn't love the God of Wealth when opening a business?
Su Mingjue gave the other party a bright smile without hesitation, ordered Su Xiaoliu to take it, and gave him a wink at the same time.
After receiving it, Su Xiaoliu reached out to take the plate, weighed it with his hands, and nodded to Su Mingjue with a smile on his face.
When Su Mingjue received the affirmation from the other party, the smile on his face became even brighter. This Meng Helan was a bit sexy, but the gift was really generous. She gave him a pure gold God of Wealth as soon as she opened her business.
Su Mingjue's smiling face almost went up to his ears. For the first time, he smiled and said warmly to Meng Helan: "Thank you, Mr. Meng. Mr. Meng, please come in." Meng Helan
smiled like a flower when she saw Su Mingjue wearing a snow-green gown. , I immediately thought that the other person was like a fresh and tender willow tree, very handsome.
Seeing the smile on his face again, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he sighed secretly, "He is really a little money fan. It seems that the trick of throwing money at him is really right, but when a golden statue appeared, the God of Wealth smiled at him. Yes."
He put away his expression with satisfaction and was about to leave, when a childish sarcasm came from his ears.
"What's there to be proud of? I gave you a gold statue as a gift, and I didn't even look at the business done here. A good study was stained by that thing. It's so vulgar!"
Lu Shaoqing, wearing a light blue round robe, raised his eyes and said He said to Meng Helan with contempt on his face.
Meng Helan's legs that were about to lift up to walk in were retracted when he heard the words, and she was about to say something back to him.
Lu Shaoyu, who was wearing a moon-white gown next to him, coughed twice and said sternly: "What did Lu Shaoqing say?"
After saying that, he cupped his hands to Meng Helan and said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Meng, my younger brother. I'm still young and I can't bear to say anything for a moment. I hope Mr. Meng doesn't care."
Meng Helan sneered, but he didn't pursue it further, but his words weren't particularly nice. "If Mr. Lu really wants to discipline him, it's so rude. Isn't it too light to drink a few words?"
Meng Helan thought to herself that he was a cunning fox. He clearly didn't want to apologize and acted like a gentleman, pretending to be a gentleman.
Lu Shaoyu was not annoyed when he heard this. He cupped his hands and said calmly: "What Mr. Meng said is true, but today is a good day for Ming Jue. I don't want to ruin his good mood by disciplining him. The matter of his brother-in-law I will strictly discipline him personally and privately, and I hope Mr. Meng will pay attention to it."
As expected, no one who became an official is a jobber, so he turned the matter upside down in just a few words, and in turn gave himself a bad rap.
Originally she wanted to argue, but when she saw the smile on the face of the person next to her, Meng Helan finally held back and took a step back.
After Lu Shaoqing glanced at Meng Helan, he withdrew his gaze and walked to Su Mingjue. With a smile on his face, he said: "I also sent some gifts today to wish you a happy business."
As he said that, he nodded to the person next to him. , not long after three young men came over carrying lacquer trays.
Lu Shaoqing didn't wait for Su Mingjue to speak, then he took off the red cloth on the lacquer plate and showed them one by one: "This is a jade toad. It has three legs. It carries the Big Dipper on its back, holds two strings of copper coins in its mouth, and holds on its head Tai Chi Liang Yi can make your book full of treasures and attract wealth. "
"This is a white jade cabbage. The cabbage can bring wealth to your study."
"And this one, I found several. I just found this ink jade carved Pixiu, so that people who come into your store will not walk out empty-handed."
Su Mingjue looked at the three items displayed one after another, and said with a smile: "You are so polite, I gave you a lot. I like it."
After hearing this, Lu Shaoqing felt very happy. He didn't know what he wanted to give as a gift before, so he bought them all. As expected, the variety is the best.
Meng Helan fanned, looked at the pile of things in front of her, and said with a smile: "My gold is vulgar, but your jade carvings are vulgar. What's the difference between gold and jade?"
Hearing this, Lu Shaoqing raised his head and said, "Why is jade so vulgar? Mingjue also wears jade, not as good as your gold."
Meng Helan glanced at Su Mingjue with flying eyebrows, covered her fan with a smile and said, "Of course he It's like jade and should not be vulgar. As for what you gave it to, it's hard to say!"
Lu Shaoqing said angrily: "It's all about attracting wealth. How can it be vulgar?"
Meng Helan ignored him after finishing speaking. He glanced at Lu Shaoqing, who was standing next to him. Shao Yu said: "Speaking of which, I am more interested in what kind of gift Mr. Lu will give."
