When I went shopping, I naturally found the largest and best jewelry store in Qingzhou City. I asked a passerby, and the other person immediately recommended Ruicaitang.
It is said that this shop is opened by the An family. The noble ladies in Qingzhou City will come here to buy. The prefect’s wife and the county head are even regular customers in the shop!
In Qingzhou City, they are the two with higher status among the female relatives of the harem, so the people have this metaphor.
Opened by An's? Just in time to check it out! Jian Yu and Zhou Jinyan looked at each other and walked towards Ruicai Hall.
As the common man said, Ruicaitang is indeed worthy of his praise. The whole shop has three floors and the windows are all colored glass! Quite wealthy!
As soon as he entered the store, Zhou Jinyan took out a hundred taels of silver notes from his arms and said with a gesture of getting rich from the poor: "I won money today, take out your best jewelry!"
It was unusual for a customer to spend one hundred taels, so the waiter took him directly to the third floor.
The jewelry on the third floor is no less than eighty taels, and the highest ones range from a thousand taels. I have seen the customers who spend a lot of money, and they have seen the big world, but they occasionally meet a customer like Zhou Jinyan, and so do they. Cherished hospitality.
They get a commission when customers buy jewelry, it’s about the silver!
Zhou Jinyan did this to prevent the waiters from looking down on others and being indifferent to them when they saw how they were dressed. In fact, he didn't care. In the past, when he concealed his identity, he encountered more experiences of contempt.
Most of the so-called gestures on weekdays are due to his identity as Prince Jing. Zhou Jinyan is actually flexible and flexible. He thinks that the officials in Shengjing who say he has a bad temper are completely stereotypes!
He didn't care about it himself, but he helped Jian Yu buy clothes because he didn't want her to feel bad because of the waiter's neglect.
Jian Yu also saw the reason why Zhou Jinyan took out the banknotes in advance. Along the way, she discovered that Zhou Jinyan was actually a very thoughtful person.
Now, most men would never think of this.
When they arrived on the third floor, there were fewer customers and the environment was much quieter. The two of them were arranged by the waiter to sit on chairs by the window. They waited here for a while while the waiter went to get the jewelry tray.
Jian Yu looked at the environment in the store. An was indeed a royal merchant. From her perspective, there was nothing wrong with this store, whether it was the placement of products or the labeling of the brands...
All are excellent!
In addition to her and Zhou Jinyan, there were two people on the shelf in the south corner. Judging by their dress, they must be a young lady from a wealthy family. Behind her was a maid.
Looking further east, you can only see a piece of clothes under the shelf, but there are four maids guarding the corridor, and there is also a nanny. With so many servants, she must have an unusual status.
There are just these people on the entire third floor.
Jian Yu looked away, and the waiter came over with a tray.
"Guest, let's see if there is anything on this plate that you two like."
When they went upstairs, the clerk asked Jian Yu what kind of jewelry she wanted to buy. Jian Yu briefly talked about her preferences, and the clerk picked out jewelry that was about the same price and met Jian Yu's requirements.
Jian Yu sighed, it's no wonder that An became the emperor and the richest man. The young waiters in a shop were all so attentive. They must have received training before!
According to Jian Yu's aesthetics, these jewelry are not amazing to her, so they are particularly easy to choose from. Just when she was about to point at two of them, someone around her said: "Don't like it?"
Jian Yu told the truth, "They are all average."
"Change."
Zhou Jinyan said to the guy.
The waiter was a little embarrassed and said cautiously: "Guest, this is already the best in the price range of 100 taels. It will be more expensive to exchange for it."
Jian Yu pressed the back of Zhou Jinyan's hand and patted it, smiling gently and saying, "That's all."
Don’t forget our characters! Low-point!
Zhou Jinyan paused after receiving Jian Yu's look, and then quickly looked away, his eyes a little embarrassed. He had just put his personal emotions above all else.
From the moment they entered Qingzhou, they were no longer allowed to do things that were inconsistent with their status, but he had forgotten about the business just now. All he could think about was that he wanted to buy Jian Yu the best jewelry she liked.
If Jian Yu hadn't stopped him, he might have had to take out more banknotes and urge the clerk to find them.
Being so eye-catching makes it easy for others to spot you and expose your identity, which is really not the case.
"Listen to Madam~"
Zhou Jinyan calmed down and held Jian Yu's hand in his palm.
Jian Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that she would ignore Zhou Jinyan if his temper got stronger. It was obvious that the possibility of the other party doing this was very small, but her intuition told her that she could definitely do it if she provoked him...
Quietly in her heart, Jian Yu felt more and more that what she thought before was correct.
"My husband is so kind!"
Jian Yu got closer to Zhou Jinyan, lowered her head and rubbed her face against Zhou Jinyan's shoulder, acting coquettishly like a kitten.
Zhou Jinyan's Adam's apple was rolling, and he took out another twenty taels from his arms: "Add another twenty taels and look for other jewelry."
The momentum of twenty taels is like taking two thousand taels.
The waiter curled his lips inwardly, "Yeah, twenty taels is money, you can look for it yourself!" How did he know that a certain prince would even want to take out 20,000 taels if the situation didn't dictate it.
At this moment, a certain prince was already digging into his private treasury. He remembered that his father had rewarded him with a lot of jewelry when he was still alive and gave it to the future princess. He was still living in the palace at that time. Where were all those things piled up?
When you get back, give it all to the princess!
The young couple here are "tender and affectionate", while the atmosphere on the other side is about to get stormy.
"What do you mean, Miss An? This is something that the county leader likes, and you want to steal it!"
Suddenly a sharp female voice sounded, and Jian Yu and Zhou Jinyan looked to the left at the same time.
"This is not a commodity. My lady forgot to take it away last time, and the clerk accidentally put it up for sale as a commodity. This time I came to take it away. Before that, the county owner had no intention to buy it!"
The little girl is very articulate and speaks for her young lady.
"How presumptuous, do you have the right to interrupt what the county lord is saying?! Palm!"
After she finished speaking, the nanny behind her stepped forward and slapped the little maid.
"what you do!"
The girl called Miss An immediately protected the maid behind her to prevent grandma from doing anything again.
At this time, the shopkeeper came up from downstairs and said with an apologetic smile: "County Master, please calm down, what happened?"
"Fourth Miss, the Second Master seemed to be in a hurry to find you just now. Why don't you go back to your house and take a look?"
The shopkeeper came to the rescue and asked Miss An to leave first.
"Why, Ruicaitang is the property of the An family, so Miss An can be so unscrupulous?"
The county lord refused to let him go and refused to let him leave.
…
Hearing this, Jian Yu understood the identities of the two parties. Miss An should be An Qi, the fourth daughter of the An family, and the other woman was the head of Shouxi County who came to Qingzhou to stay at her aunt's house, the wife of the prefect's wife.
The reason for the quarrel between the two was that An Qi left her jewelry in the shop and put it on the counter as a piece of jewelry. This time she took it away and was seen by the head of Shouxi County. She fell in love with the item and wanted to buy it.
It was obvious that Miss An found her things and prepared to take them away before the county boss wanted to buy them, and the county boss was deliberately looking for trouble!
Although Jian Yu was just choosing jewelry, she noticed from the corner of her eye that the county lord had been observing Miss An.
