Chapter 9 Qin Shangyu
"My name is Qin Shangyu. May I ask what your names are?"
The young man in white bowed and saluted, with a graceful and elegant demeanor.
Xiao Yuanyan caught a glimpse of Jiang Yuyan staring at this handsome young man. He felt sad and his voice was a little cold.
"My name is Xiao Yuanyan."
"Jiang Yuyan."
"Mr. Xiao, Miss Jiang." Qin Shangyu smiled slightly, his manners were gentle and warm, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
Qin Shangyu was sitting on the second floor of the teahouse opposite his shop. Hearing the girl's interesting words in front of his shop, he followed her out of curiosity.
Jiang Yuyan also had a good impression of this polite young man and said, "The poem I just wrote was not written by me." Considering that no one in this fictional era should have heard of the name Li Shangyin, she added, "It was written by a senior master who lived in seclusion."
After that, he recited softly: "The brocade harp has fifty strings without end, each string and pillar reminds me of my youth. Zhuangzi dreamed of butterflies in the morning, and King Wang placed his spring love on the cuckoo. The moon shines on the sea, and the pearls shed tears. The sun shines on Lantian, and the jade smokes. This feeling can be recalled, but it was already gone at that time."
Everyone was moved when they heard this poem. What a masterpiece! What is the origin of this girl? What kind of experts are around her?
"The moon shines on the sea and the pearls shed tears; the sun shines on the blue field and the jade emits smoke... So the girl's name comes from this? What a coincidence!" Qin Shangyu's eyes were clear. He pointed at the door plaque and laughed.
Jiang Yuyan nodded: "May I ask if Mr. Qin's family is in the musical instrument business?"
"Yes, how did Miss Jiang know?"
"Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu, that's your name." Jiang Yuyan said with a smile.
The ancients were very simple and honest. After coming here, Jiang Yuyan's mood suddenly became cheerful and she laughed more often.
Xiao Yuanyan felt even more uncomfortable when he saw her smiling happily at others. But he was not her husband yet. Even if he was, according to the laws of Dayue Country, he could not stop Jiang Yuyan from contacting other men. He just felt bitter in his heart, and turned his face slightly away, no longer looking at them.
Qin Shangyu heard the other party's cheerful voice, and his calm heart began to fluctuate for the first time, and he felt so happy that he didn't know what was going on. He had never heard such a beautiful voice from a woman before, and the sound alone was enough to make him bewildered.
"Miss Jiang is really smart. People in Dayue love music. My Qin family makes zithers, se, drums, zithers... We have all kinds of musical instruments. We also pay tribute to the royal family with famous zithers every year. As for this shop, what the girl said is right. It's just my own hobby. I didn't expect to make money from it."
"Did you design all these dresses?" Jiang Yuyan asked curiously. In her university major, there were many boys in her class, but it was a novelty to meet a "colleague" in ancient times.
"Yes, but I just do it privately. My father doesn't allow it." Qin Shangyu's voice was unhurried and very pleasant to hear.
“I think you did a great job!”
Jiang Yuyan didn't have the euphemism of the ancients, and praised people without hesitation, which made the upright and dignified Master Qin blush.
Jiang Yuyan pointed out the highlights of several sets of clothing designs and talked about her own ideas. They had a great conversation. The more Qin Shangyu listened, the more shocked he became. He felt that Jiang Yuyan's attainments in making clothes might be higher than his own. Qin Shangyu was very excited because it was rare to meet a bosom friend.
Although he remained expressionless, his mind was rapidly thinking about how to meet Miss Jiang a few more times.
"Miss Jiang, can you design and draw some patterns yourself? I'll find someone to make them, and if they sell well, I can share the profits with you."
Jiang Yuyan's eyes lit up. Just when she was sleepy, someone came to bring her a pillow. It just so happened that she wanted to find a way to make a living.
"Okay! I'll try my best!"
Jiang Yuyan has already figured out the general trend of contemporary fashion clothing. As long as she makes some improvements, it will definitely sell well. But although she likes Qin Shangyu's dress, it cannot fit the current mainstream aesthetic.
But the Xiangyun Pavilion is too fancy, lacking in aesthetics and color matching. It's like clothes worn by people, turning them into walking clothes racks. Jiang Yuyan also disdained to respond.
She felt that she could go for a gorgeous style, changing the color and details…
"Designing clothes is fine. But even good wine needs a bush. You can keep this store, but if you want to make money, you must find another location."
Qin Shangyu thought for a moment and said, "I have a store on Fengli Street that can be vacated."
Originally he just wanted to keep her and look at her a few more times, but now after listening to her eloquent talk, he felt that this deal could be successful, and he would be benefiting from her.
The two agreed to meet at Shangweixuan Restaurant in Qingxi Town ten days later to submit the manuscript.
Seeing the two of them chatting so "inseparable", Xiao Yuanyan felt jealous, so he pulled her hand and said, "We still have a lot of things to buy."
Jiang Yuyan suddenly realized that she still had many daily necessities to buy.
She borrowed the back room from Qin Shangyu to change clothes. Everyone could see that she was a woman. She really didn't know how to dress up as a woman dressed as a man in those time-travel dramas! How could this waist-binding men's clothing cover her figure? It would be more normal to change back to women's clothes.
She took off her veil and veil, and hurriedly tried on both sets of clothes. As expected, they fit her well. Finally, she went out wearing the light lotus-colored one.
When Jiang Yuyan appeared in front of everyone again, she had not yet put on her veil. The small shop suddenly fell silent and everyone was stunned.
This light lotus-colored dress makes the woman's skin shine brighter than snow, and she looks like a peach blossom in March. Her eyebrows are curved and smiling, and her red lips are slightly raised, as if the spring breeze melts the snow. The whole person stands there radiantly, with an icy and otherworldly figure, as if a fairy from heaven has come down to earth.
Even Qin Shangyu, who never showed his emotions, lost his composure. He realized that this might be a beauty, but he didn't expect her to be so beautiful. He didn't dare to look at her delicate and graceful body. He was afraid that he would lose control at that time.
"Ahem... Miss Jiang is so stunningly beautiful, please be careful when you are outside. If you need anything, you can find me at Qin's house in Wutong Lane. This is my old house." Qin Shangyu's eyes flickered, as if he was very shy.
People who look at her are shy, and those who are looked at are also a little embarrassed. She thinks that the men here are very handsome. She did have a better figure in modern times, which often annoyed her. But her face is only better in terms of good skin. Although her facial features are delicate, they are not stunning.
I guess it might be because there are fewer women here, so the sample size is also smaller.
In fact, Jiang Yuyan didn't know much about herself. She was too attractive, with a perfect body curve and a pure and innocent face. This is what is called "pure desire" in modern times.
She said modestly, "Mr. Qin, you are too kind. Thank you very much!"
Xiao Yuanyan put the veil back on Jiang Yuyan and was about to pay the bill and leave.
Qin Shangyu didn't want to accept the money, but Xiao Yuanyan refused with a cold face. In the end, he had to accept four taels of silver, which was much cheaper.
Watching the two of them leave together, Qin Shangyu's heart seemed to follow them. How I wish these ten days would come soon.
