Chapter 13 Silver Bangle

  "Is this the young master? The young master of Qian Fu Yuan...?" Lin Chun thought that this was too coincidental, perhaps he was just lucky, and someone had brought him a pillow while he was dozing off.

  It seems that heaven still favors those who have crossed over.

  "Our young master's surname is Qian, and the name of this auspicious origin was given by our young master. He said that if the person who painted this picture can explain the meaning of the ring inside, he might be willing to cooperate with this person for a long time. What do you think, miss?"

  Lin Chunjue's heart was racing with excitement, but he suppressed his curiosity about Qianfuyuan, the young master of the house, and said in a serious tone: "I suppose you've also seen the drawings. The sentence on the first drawing is the most basic implication. Of course, there are many styles of angel wings, and each style has different meanings. Take this classic one, for example. Angel wings represent hope, no matter how much wind and rain there is ahead, they persist in flying forward. A pair of wings, two connected hearts, a pair, the gemstone inlaid in the middle is the most precious, it's also a symbol of love between couples. With eternal faith and strong arms to support all the wind and rain on the road of love. These three styles are suitable for young men and women who are engaged or married as tokens of their love, can be worn on the hand, or hung around the neck with a chain."

  Lin Chun introduced himself, and the shopkeeper listened carefully, as if listening to a beautiful story. In front of him, he could see the satisfied and joyful expressions of the loving couple wearing these few pairs of rings. He had no more doubts about Lin Chun. "Miss, please wait for a moment in the store, I'll go back and discuss with our young master, and soon let our young master meet you personally." The shopkeeper said, preparing to leave.

  Although Lin Chao was curious about the young master of Qianfuyuan, he didn't want to be too high-profile and hurriedly stepped forward. "Boss uncle, don't rush, I have a proposal. If your young master is satisfied with my drawings and what I say, then I will cooperate with Qianfuyuan in the long term. Every month, I will draw three sets of designs for Qianfuyuan, with unlimited content. As for the silver money, we'll split it 50-50. Of course, I only want 50% of the first transaction, that is to say, after Qianfuyuan produces the first batch of Angel Wings and sells them, they will give me 50% of the profit from this first transaction. For other designs, if they are sold again in the future, all profits belong to Qianfuyuan, I won't take any more. However, I hope Qianfuyuan can guarantee that no other silverware store can produce the same jewelry, and the final ownership of the design still belongs to me. At the same time, Qianfuyuan must also help me keep my identity and all information confidential. I think Qianfuyuan should be able to do this. If your young master is not willing, then forget it. I'll wait here for Boss uncle to come back, but I won't see your young master again. I think Boss uncle understands my meaning."

  The shopkeeper thought for a moment and agreed to Lin Chun's suggestion, took the drawings back home, and conveyed Lin Chun's intention to the young master of the house. He soon received a reply and brought back a contract written by the young master himself. When he returned to the store, Lin Chun saw him come back and didn't ask in a hurry. First, he poured a cup of tea and handed it over. The shopkeeper smiled at Lin Chun with gratitude. After drinking the tea, the shopkeeper took out the contract from his pocket and handed it to Lin Chun. Lin Chun opened it and looked at it, very satisfied. "Thank you, Uncle Shopkeeper. I'll copy one now, sign my name, and trouble you to bring it to Young Master Qian."

  "Good, good, good..." The shopkeeper said three "good"s in a row. Lin Chuan took the brush and ink from the painting just now, made some minor changes to the contract according to its content, and signed his name on it. The shopkeeper watched from the side, with an increasingly strong sense of admiration in his eyes, and became even more curious about Lin Chuan.

  Lin Chuan handed the contract book he had copied to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper uncle, from now on, every month at the beginning of the month, I will personally come to deliver the drawings and take last month's silver money. I think the young master of Qianfu Yuan will not treat me unfairly."

  "Miss Lin, rest assured that Qianfuyuan is a reputable place and business has been good. Although there aren't many customers today, I've gotten to know you, Miss Lin, which is also a fortunate encounter for Qianfuyuan. As for me, my surname is also Qian, following the boss's surname. From now on, just call me Uncle Qian." The shopkeeper had already begun chatting naturally with Lin Chun, who also felt more at ease.

  "That's right, Uncle Qian. Don't call me Lin Gu Niang either, just call me by my name or Da Ya is fine too. I'm the eldest at home, this is my younger brother Lin Huan, nickname Da Tou and my younger sister Lin Xuan, nickname Er Ya. Since the contract has been signed, I'll come again next month. There are still over 10 days left this month. The Angel's Wing ring should be made of pure silver, and as for the inlaid gemstones, the craftsman would know better than me, so I won't say more. As for publicity and all that, I'm even less worried."

  "Alright, I'll call you Lin Yaotou then. You look younger than my own children, so you can call me Uncle. I suppose your father is older than me?! As for the ring, don't worry about it, Lin Yaotou. By the way, this is the betrothal gift from our young master to you. Although you weren't recruited by the Qian family as a craftsman, you did sign a contract. Our young master said that he wants to treat you the same as the other masters at Qian Fuyuan, and if your designs can help take Qian Fuyuan's business to the next level, our young master will show his gratitude in another way."

  "Anyway, I'll just take it then. The weather is getting late and my uncle is still waiting for us siblings at home, so I won't bother you anymore." Lin Chun didn't even count the money before putting it directly into his pocket, preparing to meet up with Da Shan Bo Bo and head back home. Turning around, he saw the shopkeeper's daughter and walked back to the counter, "Sister, can you introduce me to a few silver bangles that kids wear?"

  The little girl was a bit slow to react, Lin Chun pulled her hand, and the little girl's face immediately showed an expression of surprise. "Lin sister, do you know how old the child is that you want to buy for? There are several styles here that are very suitable for young children to wear."

  "Uh, I have a younger brother and sister, and then there's the three-year-old... don't know?..." Lin Chun pointed to Da Tou and Er Ya, and also mentioned Xiao Shan from Da Shan Bo Bo's family.

  "Take a look at these, not too many patterns, quite simple, very suitable for your brother to wear. This one has more intricate designs and fine workmanship, very suitable for your sister to wear. As for the three-year-old child, there's only this one left, regardless of whether it's a boy or girl, they can all wear it. The pattern on top is a small fish, simple and elegant, not flashy, wearing it can keep them safe and ward off evil." The little girl introduced each one, and especially introduced a few that were relatively more suitable, saying a few words.

  Lin Chun was very satisfied with the introduction of the little girl, and indeed, a business family, had a unique vision, eloquent, and no longer picked, let her pack those three good ones, the big red satin box, lined with yellow velvet, packed very nicely, there were some matching floral patterns on the box, looking joyful.

  Dahou and Er Ya saw Lin Chun buying for herself, thinking that the small one should be for Xiaoshan, but she didn't get one for herself. They anxiously asked, "Sister, what about you? We all have ours, but you don't?" Dahou and Er Ya both looked up with worried faces.

  "Sister is grown up, wearing silver bangles is not suitable anymore. When sister comes home, she drew a picture herself and asked Uncle Qian to make a bracelet. Then, sister will buy one for herself." Lin Chun's heart felt warm, Da Tou and Er Ya treated her with a kind of affection that they had never shown before.

  Dahou and Er Ya heard Lin Chun's words, fearing that Lin Chun was reluctant to buy. "Sister doesn't want to buy it, my sister and I won't buy it either. Sister should buy it for Xiao Shan first, when sister buys it, my sister and I will buy it again!"

  "Mmm!" Er Ya also nodded vigorously on the side, indicating agreement with Da Tou's words.

  Lin Chun couldn't help but want to laugh, looking at the little girl who was a bit embarrassed, "This..."

  The little girl saw the affection between Lin Chun and her siblings, and was very moved. "Lin sister, since your brother and sister want to come with you next time, just bring them along next time, and I'll introduce you then."

  "Alright then, wrap this one up for me first!" Lin Chun also stopped hesitating and let the little girl wrap up the bangle that was bought for Xiao Shan.

  Lin Chuan pulled out the money that Qian Zhanggui had just given him from his bosom, and upon looking at it, he saw that they were all 100 taels of silver notes, a total of five pieces. Lin Chuan was startled by the amount of money, thinking that even if he bought a pair of pure silver bracelets for Xiaoshan, it would only be worth about five taels of silver. He thought to himself that Qian Zhanggui had already given him more than enough with just 50 taels. But on his face, he didn't show any expression, and instead looked at Qian Zhanggui with a puzzled gaze, "Uncle Qian, this...this is too much!"

  "Not too much, this is what you deserve, don't say any thank you words, Uncle doesn't like it!" Qian Palm said with an unrefusable tone.

  Lin Chunjing thought for a moment and didn't pretend, took out 100 taels, let Qian Dabo exchange a 50-tael silver bill, 10 10-tael silver ingots, paid 5 taels of silver, and exchanged the remaining 5 taels into 500 large coins. He carefully wrapped them in a coarse cloth handkerchief, carried his things, led Da Tou and Er Ya, and bid farewell to Qian Zhanggui before leaving.
