Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 199 Madam, You Really Misunderstood

Then, other craftsmen also contributed their own design drawings. Although they were called design drawings, the craftsmen only roughly drew the general appearance of the jewelry. They were not jewelry design drawings. Many craftsmen could not even read, let alone draw.

But it did not hinder the craftsmen's creative ideas, and many of them were so impressive that even Shen Shenshen herself could not help but applaud. In these suggestions, Shen Shenshen also added many of his own opinions, which also made the craftsmen convinced of Miss Shen's creativity.

For example, one craftsman suggested using jade to carve a hairpin with a crane flapping its wings, while the crane's tail could be strung with tiny pearls and the crane's beak could be made to look like it was inlaid with gems. Shen Shenshen suggested that the gem in the crane's mouth could be inlaid on another men's hairpin to make a matching hair accessory that would be gorgeous and innovative.

Another craftsman suggested that the ring could be made into a blooming peony with layers of petals, each petal inlaid with gemstones of different colors, and another ring could be made into a men's ring with a bee pattern. Shen Shenshen also suggested that the bee's eyes could be inlaid with the same gemstones as the peony, which would be absolutely elegant and luxurious.

These novel ideas discussed by everyone made her see the possibility of making all the money of the Dongxiang nobles.

Shen Shen called over Manager He and asked him if he knew any painters in the capital with great painting styles. Manager He pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"I do know a few good painters." Shopkeeper He said, "But the wages... may be quite high."

Shen Shen smiled and said, "As long as the drawings satisfy me, wages are not a problem."

Shopkeeper He nodded, "That's good, I'll go look for them right away."

"Please ask Manager He to have them come to Heyinlou tomorrow. But..."

"What are Miss Shen's concerns?"

"From now on, all designs will be the secrets of our He Yin Lou. Manager He must tell the painters that if they are selected, they can only be the exclusive painters of He Yin Lou. In the future, they can no longer paint in other places, and can only paint for He Yin Lou. They are also not allowed to disclose the designs of He Yin Lou, and they must sign a confidentiality agreement. Of course, the salary of the exclusive painter will not be less."

Shopkeeper He thought about it and felt that what Shen Shen said made sense, so he agreed. "Second Miss Shen, if you want painters to work at Heyinlou, there may not be many painters tomorrow. How about changing it to three days later? I will ask a few more people."

"Sure. Thank you, Manager He."

"Miss Shen, you're welcome." Shopkeeper He bowed hastily.

"Let's go and see if there are many guests today." After saying that, she stood up and walked towards the hall.

Shenshen came to the hall on the first floor that she had carefully decorated, and saw many ladies and young ladies in gorgeous clothes choosing jewelry. The trained maids smiled and introduced the jewelry to the ladies, and skillfully helped them wear it and gave them advice.

A lady who was dressed gorgeously but did not look young was holding a gold bracelet and praising it highly: "This bracelet is so beautiful. I really like the ruby ​​inlaid in it."

Shen Shen was secretly delighted. The opening of Heyinlou had indeed impressed the noble lady. Many of the jewelry she had helped design were very popular. It seemed that aesthetics knew no time or space.

She called Cuiling over and asked, "Who is that lady? Did she come to the grand opening ceremony?

This was also a test from Shen Shen to Cui Ling. Before the opening, she told Cui Ling to remember every customer and understand their official positions and preferences.

"Replying to Miss Shen, this lady is the mother of Master Xie. Master Xie's mother did not have an imperial decree, only Master Xie was an official in the court."

"Weichuan's mother?!" Shen Shenshen was surprised. No wonder the lady was dressed gorgeously, but her face was not as well-maintained as the noble ladies in the capital, and she looked a little old. It turned out that she had suffered a lot, and only lived a good life after her son passed the imperial examination.

Shen Shen immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Hello, Madam."

Mrs. Xie saw a beautiful lady dressed in noble lady's clothes bowing to her. She was stunned and said, "No need to bow. May I ask who this lady is..."

"Thank you, Madam. This is our boss." Cui Ling said quickly.

"Isn't this the shop of Prince Zhong's Mansion?"

"Cui Ling, stop talking." Shen Shen immediately said to Madam Xie, "Madam Xie, please don't bother with this maid. Wei Chuan is familiar with me, and you are his mother, so you should come to entertain him. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the second lady of the Anbo Marquis's Mansion, Shen Shen."

Hahahaha, thanks to Master for the money, I will definitely make a lot of money.

"It's Miss Shen II." Mrs. Xie smiled and greeted politely.

Master Xie's father died early. Mrs. Xie relied on her ancestors' fame and the few acres of land left in the old house to work hard to support his studies and calligraphy. Fortunately, her son worked hard and passed the imperial examination. He was talented and rose through the ranks and finally became an official. The first thing he did was to bring his mother to the capital to enjoy a good life.

Mrs. Xie said that she knew the neighbors around the old house very well, but she didn't know anyone in the capital, so she didn't want to come to the capital to enjoy the good life. It wasn't until her son was over 20 years old and still unmarried that Mrs. Xie became anxious and left her ancestral home to go to the capital to find a wife for her son. She had only been in the capital for a few decades, and she was not very familiar with the nobles in the capital. Today, she heard Shen Shen introduce it to her and knew that there was an Anbohou Mansion.

"What kind of jewelry do you want to see today, Madam Xie? Shenshen will introduce them to you." Shenshen said enthusiastically.

Madam Xie secretly looked at Shen Shen, and wondered how this woman could be so beautiful.

"Miss Shen, you are welcome. I think this bracelet is very exquisite."

"Mrs. Xie has a good eye. This bracelet is specially made for our grand opening ceremony. It is the only one of its kind in the whole Dongguan."

"I wonder how old Miss Shen is?" Mrs. Xie looked at the bracelet and chatted with Shen Shen.

"Twenty-nine years old."

"Is Miss Shen Er married?"

Shen Shenshen felt a little amused inside. Parents everywhere are the same. They always arrange blind dates for their children.

"Thank you, Madam. I have already arranged a marriage."

Madam Xie turned around and looked at Shen Shen again, thinking it was a pity. If she married such a beautiful girl, Wei Chuan would definitely come home every day and would no longer be absent every day.

"Mrs. Xie, please take another look at this hairpin. It matches the gold bracelet very well. They both have rubies and can be worn together."

"Yeah." Mrs. Xie was a little bored after knowing that Shen Shen had arranged a marriage. It was okay if she hadn't seen him just now. After seeing him, she found that her son had no chance, which was the most painful.

Shen Shen doesn't care whether you are in high spirits or not, and strikes while the iron is hot, "Madam Xie, Wei Chuan is my friend, and you are his mother, so you must be of extraordinary wealth. This set of jewelry is especially suitable for your status. I will buy the hairpin and bracelet for you and remove 10% of the silver. I will only take 90% of the silver and give you a special perfume powder made by our Heyinlou."

Shen Shenshen, who was full of smiles, had no idea that Mrs. Xie had already imagined a big drama in her mind after hearing a few words from her, and decided to save her 'future daughter-in-law' from the dire straits.

"Miss Shen, are you willing to cancel the engagement?"

"what?"

"I, the Madam, see that the Second Miss Shen is also from a prominent family, but she is out in the open doing this kind of low-class business. Is it because her husband's family has fallen into poverty? Or is it because her husband's family asked for a very high dowry, so a girl like you has to come out to earn money? It's better not to marry into such a husband's family. My only son is a junior tutor in the court, which is considered a bit prestigious in the capital. After the Second Miss Shen marries Weichuan, she will be raised as a young lady in the mansion. I, the Madam, will never let the Second Miss Shen show up in public, and all the money and property in the family will be managed by her."

The husband's family is in decline? The husband's family wants a high dowry? This... Shen Shen was stunned for a moment, somewhat admiring Mrs. Xie's amazing imagination.

"Mother."

Mrs. Xie was about to continue persuading her when she heard the voice of the court's favorite minister, Master Xie. She turned her head and glanced at her son with a motherly smile.

"Chuan'er, you're here just in time. Come and meet Miss Shen Er."

Master Xie had an elegant and suave look, like a full moon reflecting autumn water, or stars falling into a cold pond. His eyelashes drooped, casting a faint shadow on his fair skin. He wore a moon-white robe, and the light golden tassels at the cuffs beautifully outlined a half-bloomed bauhinia flower. His scattered hair was as black as night, casually draped behind him, wantonly and unrestrained.

The two men were already acquainted with each other and greeted each other.

Mrs. Xie watched from the side and thought that her son and Miss Shen were a perfect match. "Chuan'er, mother asked Miss Shen if she was willing to break off the engagement. If so, she would marry you."

"Mother, you must not do that."

Mrs. Xie's words made Master Xie break out in cold sweat.
