The real wife of the house fight will not go to court

Chapter 31

Rong Lanxue thanked her and went to look at the shoes.Seeing that she had no desire to talk deeply, Jiang Zhiyuan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He stood there blankly for a while, then turned and left.

It wasn't because Rong Lanxue hated him that she didn't want to continue chatting with him, but the shoes in front of her were so interesting to her that she was so dazzled that she had no time to look around.

Liuhe boots, wrinkle boots, Jimo boots, heavy platform shoes, flat-toed shoes, small-toed shoes, gold-thread shoes, men's and women's shoes, everything, and many styles, she has never seen in Rong's town passed.

The shopkeeper saw that she was dressed in shabby clothes, but there was a longing desire in his eyes, so he couldn't help but stepped forward to greet her: "I don't know which pair you want to try, little lady?"

Rong Lanxue smiled sheepishly: "I can't afford to try, but I'm wondering which pair I can make."

Seeing her outspokenness, the shopkeeper not only didn't think that she just looked at it but didn't buy it, he became interested and asked, "Do you know how to make shoes?"

Rong Lanxue nodded, and said, "When I was at home, I specialized in selling shoes. Although my craftsmanship was passable, I didn't know much about it. I don't know that there are so many shoes in the world." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand toward the counter. Pointed up.

This is equivalent to praising the rich variety of shoes in the shoe store. The shopkeeper was very proud, and said: "That is, our store is one of the best in Linjiang. Many dignitaries, rich ladies and ladies come to our store to buy shoes."

His gaze swept over the shoes Rong Lanxue was wearing intentionally or unintentionally.They were a pair of ordinary flat-toed shoes, the whole body was woven with twine, but the twine was very thin and dyed red, and the red was not a single tone, but from the upper to the upper, the color gradually became lighter, and the deepest part It is like cinnabar splashing, but the shallowest part is gradually becoming white. From a distance, it looks like a peony in full bloom.

Her pair of flat-toed hemp shoes are not only beautiful in color, but also the upper is amazing. At first glance, the upper looks like an ordinary lotus flower, but when you look closely, you can find that the flower is not only hollowed out, but also woven. Double layers are made to make the lotus petals layer upon layer, delicate and complicated.

Rong Lanxue naturally noticed the shopkeeper's gaze, and she was secretly proud. Since she came here for shopping, she wore her best pair of hemp shoes, but she was very confident in her craftsmanship, not to mention that this pair cost a lot Thoughtful shoes, those made by hand, are also exquisite in style and durable.

The shopkeeper withdrew his amazed gaze, and when he talked to Rong Lanxue again, his attitude became a little respectful. He casually pointed to a pair of Baoxiang flower cloud-toed brocade shoes on the counter, and asked her, "How can this kind of shoes, my lady?" Can you do it?"

Those were a pair of genuine high-end shoes, the upper, toe cap, and even the lining were all made of halo-colored brocade.Among them, the upper is a gorgeous variant Baoxiang pattern.The toe cap is twill brocade woven with eight-color silk threads.The lining is seven-color strips of brocade with flowers and birds flowing through the clouds, which looks very gorgeous and complicated.

But Rong Lanxue was not fooled by these appearances. Although the shoes looked complicated, but aside from the extremely luxurious brocade, they were actually a pair of ordinary cloud-toed shoes. That is to say, the craftsmanship of these shoes The difficulty lies in the brocade and color matching, but as far as the shoes themselves are concerned, they are actually very simple.

So she smiled easily, and said to the shopkeeper: "If you provide me with the brocade, I will do it."

She said something casually, but she didn't expect the shopkeeper to clap her hands together: "Okay, then it's a deal!"

Say, what's the deal?She didn't say anything?Rong Lanxue looked confused.

The shopkeeper took out a blueprint from the counter excitedly, handed it to Rong Lanxue, and said, "Look at this, if you can make it, I will give you 100 taels of silver as a wage, and if you do it well, you will be rewarded another Forget it. Of course, I will provide you with the raw materials."

100 taels of silver?Rong Lanxue thought she had heard it wrong, but the shopkeeper clearly nodded at her affirmatively. What is the concept of 100 taels of silver?Rong Lanxue has long studied the exchange rate between silver and RMB. One tael of silver here is equivalent to RMB 60. The 100 taels of silver, converted into RMB, is 6000 yuan. 6000 yuan!It's just asking her to make a pair of shoes, and she doesn't need to produce the raw materials herself. Isn't that too lucrative? !Rong Lanxue was still in a dream.

However, the shopkeeper didn't take it seriously, he just pushed the piece of paper forward and said, "First, see how sure you are."

How sure are you?What he said was almost sure, not whether it could be done.Rong Lanxue woke up immediately.Sure enough, there is nothing so cheap in this world. The reward is often directly proportional to the difficulty of the job. Since the shopkeeper is willing to pay such a high price, the shoes must be very difficult to make.

Sure enough, just the shoe design on that piece of paper can make people look dazzled.The general picture is only divided into the upper, the upper, the lining and the sole, but this pair of shoes is broken down into countless small pieces, and the color, texture and embroidery of almost each piece are different. Even the materials are different.Who is this, who actually thought of making such a pair of shoes? After they are finished, wouldn't they be so colorful that they could be worn out?However, these are not issues that Rong Lanxue has to consider. She just needs to ask herself whether she can make these shoes or not.

"I want to try." Rong Lanxue replied after staring for a long time.

"Okay." The shopkeeper immediately took out a contract that had been drawn up from behind the counter, asked Rong Lanxue to press his fingerprints, and said, "Sign this, and you can get the raw materials back immediately. It's okay if you don't deliver the goods on time, but if If you corrupt the raw materials, I will sue you to the government."

Rong Lanxue is semi-literate here, but fortunately there are many literate people outside, so she asked a few passers-by to read it for her, and after confirming that the terms of the contract were as the shopkeeper said, she pressed her fingerprints on the spot.When signing the contract, she told the shopkeeper her name and address, and the shopkeeper also introduced herself, saying that his surname was Wang Mingshan and the owner's surname was Li.The construction period stipulated in the contract is one month.The raw materials given to her include two feet of high-quality sheepskin, two feet of brocade with golden threads, two feet of white silk, two feet of three-color sutra brocade, and twenty finger-sized pearls.

The valuable materials were placed in front of Rong Lanxue, and she looked at the list, a little disbelieving: "These materials, just let me take them back like this? I don't need to pay a deposit?"

Shopkeeper Wang smiled conceitedly: "I'm not boasting. If you break the contract, even if you dig three feet, even if you flee to another place, our boss can find you, so there is no deposit."

Their boss is so powerful?Rong Lanxue was inexplicably terrified. Fortunately, she was an honest person and had no intention of running away with the money.

The boy brought a piece of furoshiki and helped Rong Lanxue wrap the raw materials into it.Rong Lanxue glanced at it and saw that the furoshiki was actually a piece of printed satin, she couldn't help but click her tongue, this store is really a big deal.

Shopkeeper Wang personally handed over the burden to Rong Lanxue, and asked the boy to hire a carriage to take Rong Lanxue home.Rong Lanxue originally wanted to decline, but after thinking that it might be for the precious material, not her, she sat down with peace of mind.

Although the carriage was not considered luxurious, its level of sophistication was several grades higher than Rong Lanxue's. Therefore, when she got off the carriage in front of Rong's residence, she could clearly feel the surprised and curious eyes of the gatekeeper.

Rong Lanxue didn't explain to anyone where the printed satin bag she was wearing came from, because she felt it was unnecessary.She said hello to the aunts and young masters and ladies she met along the way, and then went into the bamboo pavilion to study the blueprint.

The raw materials are too expensive, and the style of the shoes is complicated. She has to study it carefully before starting, lest if it is broken, not only will she not be paid, but her reputation will be ruined.

She held the drawing and pondered for a day and a night, and finally drew the appearance of the shoe after it was made, and it was not in vain that she got dark circles under her eyes.It was a pair of sheepskin bottoms, brocade decorations on the sides, three-color classic brocade linings, white silk tops, and a pair of high-toed shoes inlaid with pearls.Strange to say, although the exploded drawing gives people a sense of colorfulness, which makes people question the taste of the designer, but the real finished picture looks pleasing to the eye, and it can be regarded as a pair of extremely gorgeous and beautiful shoes.

But why didn't the designer just draw the finished product?Since even the exploded diagram has been drawn, it makes no sense not to know what the finished diagram looks like.Perhaps he deliberately tested the ability of the shoe maker.Rong Lanxue thought so.

Being young has an incomparable advantage. Although Rong Lanxue suffers from severe sleep deprivation, she is very energetic. She took out the raw materials and prepared to make the simplest sole first.But just picked up the scissors, saw Jin Er standing at the door, said: "Miss Rong, the master is back, please go to the small study."

Rong Tiancheng is back?Rong Lanxue knew that he had gone to Rongjia Village, so she was very surprised. Why did she come back so soon?Could it be that he met Mrs. Ye on the road?
Before she could think about it, Jin'er waited at the door, Rong Lanxue looked at her body and saw that there was nothing wrong with her, so she stood up and followed her to the study.

Rong Tiancheng's study room is not in the same direction as the main room, but is located in a corner of the back garden. It is very secluded. It can even be said that if Jin'er hadn't led the way, Rong Lanxue probably wouldn't have been able to find it. come here.

After Jin'er took her outside the study door, she left immediately.Rong Lanxue discovered that there was another person outside the door, but it was the aunt who was supposed to stay in the nunnery.Isn't my aunt infected with a seasonal illness, but why does she appear here?Rong Lanxue was secretly surprised, but involuntarily moved away from her before walking in.

The moment she opened the door, she clearly saw the aunt raised her head and smiled meaningfully at her, but in the blink of an eye, the aunt still looked downcast and indifferent, as if she was just dazzled.Rong Lanxue shook her head, opened the door and went in.

Rong Tiancheng was not inside, but there was a small door on the wall, leading to a deeper place.Rong Lanxue thought for a while, and when she walked into the door, she heard Rong Tiancheng's voice from inside: "Xue'er, come in."

Mrs. Ye even came out to welcome her: "Xue'er, here, come with mother."

It turned out that they were in a small room at the back. There were bookshelves on three sides of this room, and there was a desk beside the only empty wall, and Rong Tiancheng was sitting by the desk.Mrs. Ye pulled Rong Lanxue, went to sit down opposite Rong Tiancheng, and said, "Now that Xue'er is here, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Rong Tiancheng recounted the past: "After all these years, you still..."

Tears flashed in Ye's eyes, but Rong Lanxue was very impatient and interrupted Rong Tiancheng: "Father, if you have something to say, just say it, I have something else to do."

Rong Tiancheng looked at Ship sullenly, as if blaming her for not teaching her daughter well.

Mrs. Ye scolded Rong Lanxue in a low voice, and Rong Lanxue was very wronged. This father has ignored them for more than ten years, so what else is there to say? Besides, she really has something to do, and there are 100 taels of shoes waiting for her to do. Isn't this more important than listening to this heartless father reminiscing about the past?
Although Rong Tiancheng looked very unhappy, in the end he let go of the plan to reminisce about the old days, and complied with Rong Lanxue's wishes.With a clear cough, he got straight to the point, and said to Mrs. Ye: "Mother, give me the marriage certificate, and I'll give you a sum of money. You take the money back to Rongjia Village, where you will still be my wife." .”
