"What a coincidence?" Hua Jin walked to the door of the store, "Are you... passing by?"
Pei Yan stood at the door and did not go in: "Is it possible that I came here to see you?"
Hua Jin laughed out loud when she heard this: "It's still raining outside. Come in and sit for a while, and I'll pour you tea."
Pei Yan wanted to say that in such a small shop, he would be afraid that he would be unable to move even if he entered. But for some reason, her legs seemed to be out of control, and she followed Hua Jin's footsteps and walked in unknowingly.
After entering the store, he found that although the store was not large, it was cleverly decorated, making it easy for people to relax and unwind.
Near the embroidery stand, there was a small table and a sofa. Pei Yan's legs were too long. When he sat on the sofa, he curled up and looked a little pitiful.
"You sit here." Putting the tea cup on the table, Hua Jin pushed the embroidered chair she usually used in front of Pei Yan.
"I didn't expect your store to be right here." Pei Yan stood up and changed his seat. He remembered that the last time he heard Chen Sen say bad things about him, it seemed that this store was not far away.
"Although many people now like to buy things online, having a physical store will increase customers' trust in us." Hua Jin raised his head and looked out the window, "What's more, our store is here, as long as Pedestrians passing by can also gain a deeper understanding of embroidery by taking a second look."
Pei Yan took a sip of tea. The tea leaves were very ordinary, and the water used to make the tea was also very ordinary. He was usually picky, but today, maybe because he left home too early, his mouth was a little dry. He thought this tea was also delicious. .
The shop suddenly became quiet. Pei Yan turned his head and saw the koi carp picture that had not yet been embroidered on the embroidery stand. The brightly colored koi carps were swimming in the water, and the scales on their bodies seemed to glow under the sunlight. Brilliant light. He blinked and realized that the koi fish didn't really reflect light, it just looked too real.
Putting down the tea cup, Pei Yan stood up and said, "It's time for me to go."
Hua Jin nodded.
Pei Yan stood there and waited for a while. Seeing that Hua Jin did not speak, but looked at him with puzzled eyes, as if asking, "Why don't you leave yet?" His mood became a little worse for no reason, and he took a picture The invitation card was slapped onto the table.
"What is this?" Hua Jin looked at the elegant invitation card and saw that Pei Yan's expression seemed a little unhappy. The hand that was about to reach out to get the invitation card was retracted.
"There will be a traditional art exhibition in a few days. Because some of the exhibits are very valuable, it is only open to the inside. If you want to go, then go." Anyway, Pei Yan doesn't understand embroidery, lacquerware, or pottery. Artistic value, he received several invitation cards from the organizer in the morning, and he subconsciously thought that Hua Jin might be interested in this kind of exhibition.
"Thank you." Hua Jin pinched the invitation letter happily, and then looked at Pei Yan doubtfully, "Do you want to charge me?"
"I won't accept it." Pei Yan said with a cold face, "I originally planned to throw it in the trash can, but I didn't expect to meet you here. Giving it to you is considered waste."
Hearing this, Hua Jin was not angry. Instead, he said: "Next time there is such waste that needs to be recycled, don't forget me. I can help you solve your problems."
Pei Yan: "..."
"Brother, is this really here?" Chen Jiang looked at the embroidery shop across the street and asked with some confusion, "I think you guessed it wrong?"
"Ha." Chen Sen chuckled, "When Pei Yan got out of the car that night, his expression was quite normal. Not long after the woman called him over, his expression changed, so it must have been the woman who What did Pei Yan say?"
"No, brother, I think there's something wrong with this matter." Chen Jiang thought for a while, "If you hadn't scolded Pei Yan outside, wouldn't there be so many things? So you can't blame other girls for this. Right."
"Sister, sister! You can't walk on the road after seeing a woman?" Chen Sen glared at Chen Jiang, "You are still in the mood to talk such nonsense now. Because of Pei Yan's cold attitude at home, the The two of us already have an opinion, what do you think we should do?"
"I'm stupid and can't think of any good solutions. But if that woman knows Pei Yan, and you go to find trouble for her now, isn't this going to make matters worse? Brother, how can you do this like the brainless cannon fodder in the TV series? Like?" Chen Jiang put his hands in his pockets, "If you ask me, it's better to go to her store and buy more things. Maybe when she's in a good mood, she can say a few nice words to us."
"Are you so afraid of Pei Yan, even a woman who doesn't know what kind of relationship you have with him?" Veins appeared on Chen Sen's forehead, "Are you still promising?"
"It's worthless." Chen Jiang answered calmly, "You can go if you want, but I won't go anyway."
"Hmph!" Chen Sen raised his feet and walked away. After taking two steps, he silently shrank back and retreated to Chen Jiang's side.
"How..." Chen Jiang was about to ask what happened when he saw a very familiar person walking out of the store opposite.
Pei Yan?
"Pei Yan, thank you." Hua Jin knew how rare this exhibition was. A few days ago, she heard Aunt Gao mention it, saying that it contained not only works by modern masters, but also works that had been passed down for thousands of years. If you can go in and take a look at the cultural relics, it will be a blessing in life. Unfortunately, this exhibition is not open to the public and can only be studied and discussed by some experts and scholars.
Although many objects can be seen online, the shock brought by the real thing cannot be compared with the photos.
"I've already said it's easy, what's there to thank you for?" Pei Yan raised his chin slightly, with a bit of pride and laziness in his peach blossom eyes, "Okay, I'm busy, let's go first."
"Wait a moment." Hua Jin pulled Pei Yan's sleeve, ran back to the store quickly, and stuffed a palm-sized box into Pei Yan's hand, "Thank you."
Pei Yan looked at Hua Jin suspiciously: "There won't be anything like a love letter in it, right?"
Hua Jin: "..."
"Mr. Pei, you are a busy man, so I won't waste your time. Come on, let's go." What age is it, and there is still a love letter.
"Tsk." Pei Yan sneered and returned to the car with the box. He opened the lid and found a tie inside.
He picked up the tie and took a look. On the front and bottom of the tie were embroidered two koi fish connected head to tail. On the side close to the tie, there were also embroidered the four small words "Happiness for Years".
"Happiness continues for years..." Pei Yan threw the tie onto the passenger seat, drove it a short distance, took a deep breath, parked the car on the side of the road, folded the tie and put it back into the box, pressed it Press the folds on the top and put the lid on.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and the restlessness in his heart was successfully suppressed.
"Brother, are you still going?" Chen Jiang bumped Chen Sen with his elbow.
Chen Sen was angry and annoyed, but he couldn't get angry yet: "Go, if you don't go, I will be your grandson."
Chen Jiang took a big step back. If his grandparents heard this, the two brothers would be beaten to death. He stood on tiptoe and glanced at the direction where Pei Yan's car disappeared, thoughtfully. He had never heard that Pei Yan was close to any woman, but looking at the way he was chatting with someone in front of the store just now, could it be that the two of them... ...has a leg?
As soon as Hua Jin put away the invitation, she saw two men walking in. She looked at the leading man and felt vaguely familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them before.
"You!" Chen Sen stared at Hua Jin and saw Hua Jin looking back at him with a pair of watery eyes, "What good things do you have here? Take them out and let me pick two."
Chen Jiang silently turned to look at his brother, who a few minutes ago threatened to find someone to settle the score. So it turns out that buying someone else's things is just to settle the score?
"Sir, the exhibits on the shelves in the store are all finished products that can be sold. If you are not satisfied with them, we also accept customization." Hua Jin took out the brochure, "I wonder what you two need?"
"What do you know?" Chen Sen walked to the sofa and sat down, looking around the store with a critical eye.
Hearing the other party's voice, Hua Jin slowly remembered who this person was. Wasn't this the same person who stood under the streetlight and scolded Pei Yan a month or two ago, and she listened to the whole audience?
I don’t know whether the other party is really here to buy something or to take revenge on her. The smile on Hua Jin’s face does not change and she puts the brochure in front of Chen Sen. “I am good at embroidery and I know a little bit about lacquerware, but I don’t know much about it. Not very good at it."
"Then wrap up this and this for me." Chen Sen pointed at two things randomly.
"Are they the same two?" The smile on Hua Jin's face became more sincere, "The pattern on the ornament on the left is called Fame, Fame, and Wealth. When embroidering it, nearly ten kinds of stitches were used, whether it was fabric or The embroidery threads are all taken from..."
"No need for introduction." Chen Sen handed the card to Hua Jin, "Swipe the card."
"Thank you." Hua Jin quickly took the bank card and used the card machine to deduct the amount. "Sir, please enter your password."
Chen Sen looked at the deduction amount and saw that these two gadgets were not cheap. He entered the password with a sullen face. After Hua Jin wrapped the things, he turned around and saw that Chen Jiang was still staring at a ball fan, and said with a sullen face: "Come and get the things."
"Oh." Chen Jiang ran back to Chen Sen and grinned at Hua Jin, "Beauty, leave your contact information and we can make an appointment to hang out when you have time in the future."
"Sir, you are really good at joking." Hua Jin raised the corners of his mouth, but there was not much smile in his eyes, "People like me who run around for life every day have no time to play."
"It's so hard, Pei..." Chen Jiang paused and laughed dryly.
Chen Sen glared at him with hatred and strode out of the store.
As soon as the two brothers left, Hua Jin happily sent Tan Yuan a WeChat message.
Fan Hua: Tangyuan, an ornament that has not been sold for a year in our store was finally bought by a scammer at a high price!
These two ornaments have good meanings and are exquisitely made. They took a lot of effort to embroider, so the price is also very expensive. They have been displayed in the store for the past year, and many people have asked, but no one is willing to pay.
Just when Hua Jin thought that these two ornaments should be placed in the store as treasures, the victim finally showed up.
After a while, Tan Yuan responded to the message, but it was not about buying anything.
Tangyuan: Huahua, if I make lacquerware all my life, do I really have a future?
