Generational Marriage

A few days later, Yao Zhuo and others found a shop in Jieshen Alley near Panlou Street, which was much larger, and the price was nearly twice that of the previous one. Lin Jinrong was in pain when he settled the accounts, but he didn’t do it anymore. Blame Lu Yan again.

Because it was a newcomer, the shop's business had been mediocre, so Yao Zhuo discussed with Lin Jinrong whether to keep the price down. Lin Jinrong categorically refused: "It's not like Pingzhou here. People in Beijing are not short of money. What they lack is reputation. If we keep the price down, people might think that things are not as good as others, otherwise, we will offend others. "

Yao Zhuo frowned and said, "Originally, a newly opened store has a period when the business is a little lighter. It has to be simmered slowly to get its reputation. It's just that there are too many rare things in Beijing, and the store is even more so. Many, each has its own way. If you want to break a blood path, you have to think of a good idea."

If it is in Pingzhou, Lin Jinrong will bring his own goodies to attend several flower viewing parties and tea parties for the family members of various provinces, which will naturally lead to a trend. But this is in Beijing. Most of the people who can interact with her are the family members of some small officials. Most of these people are not well-off and can't afford these things. She is inviting these people to be guests, or making these things at other people's banquets, but she is just showing the blind to the blind, maybe it may also arouse the disgust of others.

Lin Jinrong thought for a long time while holding his chin, and told Yao Zhuo: "You can send me a few exquisite things, such as the painted juniper fan from the country of Japan, the folding fan and the pine fan from Korea. When the second master is free, let him take it. I will go to Xiangguo Temple for a tour, and you can also set up a stall there to put a few delicate things to try."

Folk saying: From 19 to 29, keep the fan in your hand. This fan is really the most indispensable decoration for women nowadays. With a fan in hand, it is full of love. His hobbies, tastes, and wealth can all be revealed in a small fan in his hand. Although Lin Jinrong is not a great beauty of the country, he has his own unique grace and grace. Holding a beautiful fan will definitely attract a lot of attention. Xiangguo Temple is open five times a month, allowing people to do business in it, and there are all kinds of rare things. Every time, many families of rich and wealthy women go to play. Lin Jinrong only needs to attract the attention of a few key people, and the goal is achieved .

Yao Zhuo knew it, so he hurriedly went back to pick something, and in the evening, he sent a few extremely beautiful fans. Two Japanese fans, one with lacquered handle, thick crow-blue paper, light pink, plain and distant landscape, near shore cold reed decayed Polygonum, clouds and birds at the end of the day, profound artistic conception, exquisite gestures -; one is silver-plated fan shaft string Thirty-four thin cypress fan bones are connected with silk threads, coated with mica, gold and silver foil, and sand grains are embellished in the middle. A sandbank with plum blossoms is painted, a wheelbarrow, and a pair of fireflies. There are also two Korean pine fans, which are pressed into threads with pine mallets and finely woven. One is the double-luan weaving flower and the other is the snow mountain pine crane.

Lin Jinrong Guanzhi loves so much. So he called a few Dou'er, and the master and servants discussed together which fan pendant and tassel to match these fans.

When Lu Yan returned home, he heard the laughter from a long distance inside, and couldn't help but relax. Stepped through the door in two steps and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? I am so happy that Dou'er and the others saw him enter the door, and retreated in unison.

Lin Jinrong smiled and handed a fan over: "Look at this, is it like the Luan Bird Tuanhua Pine Fan that my father-in-law brought home?" At the summer solstice, Lu Jianxin sent two Luan Bird Tuanhua flowers. When Song Fan came back, Mrs. Lu gave Lin Yuzhen and Lu Shi separately, and Tu Shi was jealous. At that time, she was still a bride. Although she also loved, she never thought that she would have it. Now she has started this business, which is really unexpected.

Lu Yan only glanced at it, and then said, "This is much more delicate than that." Before he finished speaking, he was attracted by the other two Japanese fans. He picked it up and was amazed. He couldn't put it down: "This kind of painting method. , It’s so different from ours. But it’s too luxurious to win the eye."

Lin Jinrong was slightly proud: "It's all the things in my shop. Yao Zhuo and the others have looked around, and few have this thing." Xianzhi clicked on the cypress fan: "Do you know how much this fan is worth? money?"

Lu Yan made a slight estimate, and said, "It's such a luxury, I'm afraid it costs tens of thousands of dollars?"

Lin Jinrong whispered: "I sold one for 80,000 yuan yesterday. The people who bought it were only shouting cheap. Dao is a tribute only available in the palace. It is rare. But bought from the Japanese, it was only 20,000 to 30,000. The money is nothing."

Lu Yan was taken aback, and said, "Sure enough."

Lin Jinrong asked him: "Will you take a break, how about taking me to Xiangguo Temple?"

Lu Yan watched her silently, and Lin Jinrong said, "I'm going to relax, and I'm not selling fans, so I can't lose your face." At most, she would walk around a place with many women with a fan. If someone is curious, come and ask, she can tell them where they bought it.

Lu Yan didn't answer her directly, but said: "Hungry [I'm hungry."

Everyone knows that the Lu family does business better than Pingzhou. He walks around and takes care of the housework and other people will not laugh at him; here are many of his colleagues, among them there are many sour scholars. He has a good face and is normal for fear of embarrassment. , Can only do something else. Lin Jinrong also let go of the fan in his hand, asking people not to mention it.

Two days passed, the wind was beautiful, and Lin Jinrong woke up early in the morning, and was surprised to find that Lu Yan was still at home and had changed his clothes for going out. He pointed to the pile of esophagus in front of him: "I happen to have something to go to Xiangguo Temple today. Come on, if you eat all these, you will be led out."

Where did Lin Jinrong eat those many things, she had to frown and evade, finally pinched her nose and ate more than usual, and he packed up and dressed up contentedly, and called people to inform Yao Zhuo, holding the most dazzling Japanese fan with Lu. He left the door and headed towards Xiangguo Temple.

Xiangguo Temple is the most famous temple in the capital. I don't know when the rules came up. There are always five days in each month. It will let the people trade and do business in it. In front of the junior college, they sell birds, cats and dogs, rare birds and beasts, and they wear all kinds of clothes. There are many men of all ages. Longevity and Lu Liang can't move there.

At the second and third doors, there are daily toys and miscellaneous things that are bought and sold, but there are too many women around. The cherry few can't move their feet when they look at them, and even Dou'er can see eyebrows. laugh.

Going to the courtyard again, the inside is different from the outside. There are colorful tents built everywhere, and there are also open-air shops, but they sell some mats, curtains, washes, saddle bridles, bows and arrows, fresh fruits, preserved fruits, etc. thing. Close to the temple of the Buddha, it is also a genus of Taoist crowns, candied fruit, and ink.

Lin Jinrong looked at it one by one. Although she found it novel, she was not very interested. Lu Yan knew what she was thinking, so he reminded her in a low voice, "On the promenades on both sides, all the embroidery made by the teachers and aunts of various monasteries are sold. There are the most women who have spare money, and you can go there for a walk. If it fails, there will be the back of the temple, and there are many rich people."

Lin Jinrong swam around. Although some people looked curiously, no one took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her, but Dou'er happily bought some embroidered handkerchiefs, collar wipes, and selling gold patterns. After getting off the corridor, Lu Yan led her to the back of the temple.

Books, antiques, pictures, etc. were sold at the back of the temple. Lin Jinrong saw the stall in his store here. I wanted to go up and have a look, but seeing a few gorgeously dressed people in front of him were chatting with the buddies, so I didn't go up, and planned to calmly look at things that interest him with Lu Yan.

Lu Yan didn't look at the things he was most interested in in the past. He chose a hidden place to stand still, and pointed to the stall in front of him and told Lu Liang, "Go to the third stall on the left and buy everything from his stall. Come down."

Lin Jinrong looked intently, but sitting there was a gray-haired half-old man, without the shrewdness and enthusiasm of a businessman on his face. On the contrary, he was somewhat helpless and perfunctory, which was very strange. Lu Liang was also surprised: "Second Lord, why is this?"

Lu Yan said: "You can just go, why ask more? Remember to bargain, don't make people suspicious."

Lu Liang agreed, not to mention it. Lu Yan led Lin Jinrong to the hallway to pretend to read the inscriptions of famous artists in order to wait for Lu Liang's news. Lin Jinrong then asked him, "Who is that? Why did Minxing buy all his things?"

Lu Yan pointed to several stalls around the stalls with similar expressions and showed her: "Did you see? The stalls here are all local products and herbs sold by dismissed officials from all over the country, so I can change my dishes and go home. This is this. An uncle I knew when I was in Jiangnan in the early years, he offended people, so he ended up here. I don’t want him to be entangled, and I can’t bear the face of my children and grandchildren. I have to come here to sell things by myself, so I have to act like this."

Lin Jinrong sighed and said, "Money is really important."

"That's right, money is of course important." Suddenly a person walked behind him with a red robe and a silver belt, a jade face smiled, patted Lu Yan's shoulder lightly, and shouted: "Brother Minxing." Smiled with Lin Jinrongshi. Yili, "In Xia Rongqi, I have seen my sister-in-law."

It was Rong Qi who was helping to relieve the siege that day. Lin Jinrong hurriedly returned a salute and stepped aside. Rong Qi stood there and exchanged a few words with Lu Yan before leaving.

Lu Yan turned his head and smiled: "You succeeded. His wife has taken a fancy to the fan in your hand. Ask him to come over and ask me where you bought this fan. I will tell him directly that you bought it in your shop. If he likes it, he can choose by himself."

Lin Jinrong looked up in the direction where Rong Qixing was going. He saw a tall and slender woman with a purple face like her standing beside him. The two were looking in their direction, and they met their gazes. , He nodded slightly at them.
