"Two ladies, please come inside! Bao'er, show the two ladies their seats and serve tea!"
The shopkeeper of Baodezhai warmly welcomed the group in.
The Lian family and the Sun family did not have a good relationship. Mrs. Qin didn't like Mrs. Sun's closeness, but she didn't show it on her face. They didn't separate until they were seated. Lian Suisui and Sun Mingwei stood behind them respectively.
"What kind of jewelry would you like to see today, madam? We have a few new styles of jewelry in our store..."
For ladies with status like them, if they want to look at jewelry, their maids will hold the jewelry in front of them. If they like it, they will keep it, and if they don't, they will exchange it for the next batch.
"Then let's see."
Mrs. Sun showed great interest, turned around and said to Mrs. Qin: "I heard that Baodezhai has a set of ruby noodles, and the asking price is not low. I wonder if that set will be brought out today to open our eyes. !”
The dignitaries in the capital are also divided into three, six or nine grades. Mrs. Sun's natal family is ordinary. When she married Sun Quan, Sun Quan was not yet developed, so naturally she had never seen anything good.
But everyone has a desire to compare. Sun Quan had the same official position as Lian Fangyu, so she always compared herself with the Qin family.
Whatever jewelry Mrs. Qin wore, she would try her best to find it.
Lian Suisui looked at the gold diamond on her head that was exactly the same as her mother's. It was dignified and beautiful when worn on her mother's head, but only beautiful when worn on her head, because Mrs. Sun was very thin and had no flesh on her face, so she couldn't hold it up. Gorgeous gold jewelry.
Mrs. Qin was well-educated and ignored Mrs. Sun.
The shopkeeper of Baodezhai brought over a set of ordinary pure gold noodle dishes. The first set was just an appetizer. Neither of them showed much interest. The second set was slightly more distinctive than the first set. A bit of filigree work, but it still looks ordinary.
The third set does have some eye-catching features. The main body is a golden crown. The eye-catching parts are the hairpins and tassels on both sides. The element of the golden phoenix can only be used by the Queen and the Queen Mother in the world, so this set has the hairpins and tassels on both sides of the head and face. The hairpin is in the style of a crane and is more suitable for the elderly.
Mrs. Sun felt amazing and praised: "This set is quite good. The crown is decorated with precious stones. It is dignified and elegant. It is a pity that it is a crane hairpin."
The old lady of the Qin family is celebrating her birthday, so this appearance is just right.
Mrs. Qin signaled to Aunt Fang, who said, "Our lady likes this trick. Please send the shopkeeper back to deliver it to our house."
A set of headgear is worth a lot of money just for the gold, and with the craftsmanship, most people can't afford it. There are very few people like this who don't blink an eye. The shopkeeper is grinning from ear to ear.
"Yes, the craftsmen in our shop have made a lot of good things. Can I bring them to you one by one to take a look?"
In ancient times, there was no glass, and gold and silver jewelry were mostly placed in cabinets, making it difficult to see clearly. If you put them on a tray and bring them up one by one, you can see much more clearly.
The shopkeeper was very smart. After showing off his face, he served many styles that young girls liked.
Lian Suisui fell in love with a pair of emerald filigree earrings, which suited Qin very well, and asked the price.
"Miss Third, you have a good eye. This pair of earrings is the treasure of our store. The price is one hundred taels of silver."
Even Suisui, a famous person in the capital, is known to everyone. She is also known as a scapegoat, and the shopkeeper of Baodezhai also knows her.
"Shopkeeper, you are not being honest. Mrs. Sun from the Right Minister of Rites' Mansion is also here. Tell the truth, is this the same price you sold to others?"
A pair of earrings costs one hundred taels of silver, why not grab them? It was more than the money she spent to treat people. For the first time, Lian Suisui had doubts about the price of goods in ancient times.
"If you can't afford it, don't ask about the price. Why do you want to involve my mother?"
Sun Mingwei said dissatisfied.
Lian Suisui retorted: "Can't afford it and don't want to be taken advantage of are two different things. How many raw materials are used for this pair of earrings? I'm afraid dozens of pairs of these earrings can be made from the feathers of a kingfisher. Miss Sun doesn't mind. It’s expensive, Miss Sun bought it.”
"you!"
How could Sun Mingwei have so much money? She was speechless by Lian Suisui and snorted angrily.
"Besides, we are not the only ones in the store today. I would like to remind the shopkeeper not to arbitrarily quote prices and ruin Baodezhai's reputation."
"Miss Third, you are serious!"
The shopkeeper of Baodezhai didn't expect Lian Suisui to be so venomous now, so he hurriedly explained, "Miss Third, how dare I deceive you? Look at the craftsmanship of this pair of earrings. The butterfly is made of filigree. The sapphires embellished on them are from the Western Regions, and these two pairs of identical East Pearls are also one-in-a-million treasures. A pair of earrings only costs one hundred taels of silver, which is not expensive at all..."
"I can guarantee that there is only one pair of earrings in the entire Shangjing City, and it will be difficult to find the same pair!"
No wonder Lian Suisui was cautious, the original owner was often deceived by profiteers in the capital. After the shopkeeper said this, she felt that these earrings were worth the money.
"Mom, I bought this pair of earrings for you!"
Qin is wearing a peacock blue dress today, and these earrings match her outfit very well.
"Mom, let me put it on for you."
Lian Suisui winked at Xiao Tao, and Xiao Tao took a one hundred tael silver note and handed it to the shopkeeper.
Mrs. Sun's envious eyes could eat up even Suisui.
They are all daughters, and they were buying gifts for their mothers. Sun Mingwei fucked her as a foil, and she said sarcastically unwillingly: "Why don't you use the family's money to show off..."
Lian Suisui: "..."
She didn't read the almanac when she went out today, and when she met someone who couldn't eat the grapes, she said the grapes were sour.
"Ms. Sun, the most important thing when shopping is your mood. You said you are always making sarcastic remarks on the sidelines? Is it an eyesore for me to buy jewelry for my mother with the money I earn from treating others?" "
"There are so many people in the capital who are richer than my family, why aren't you jealous?"
She quarreled with Sun Mingwei, but Mrs. Sun said unhappily: "Miss Third has such a powerful mouth. We only said one thing, but Miss Third has so many words waiting for her."
All she could say was that Lian Sui had a sharp mouth, a sharp mouth, and was domineering and self-willed.
Mrs. Qin chuckled lightly and spoke out to mediate: "Sui Sui, what did mother teach you at home? Water is good for all things, so don't fight. Mother doesn't ask you to reach the highest level. If you really want to fight, you'd rather fight for the world with someone who likes you. Don't fight with others. Idle people show off their power of words."
She didn't say that Sun Mingwei was an idler, but she seemed to say so.
Lian Suisui smiled knowingly and said, "Yes, it's my fault. I'll apologize to Miss Sun."
The faces of the Sun family's mother and daughter changed at the same time, but Qin's words could not be faulted. If they were angry, it would be equivalent to putting themselves in and making judgments.
Mrs. Sun could only give a low drink.
"You still haven't apologized to the third lady?"
"Mrs. Lian, children are young and immature, and it is common for them to quarrel occasionally. I asked Mingwei to apologize to Miss Third. Don't take this matter to your heart."
Sun Mingwei apologized to Lian Suisui humbly. Lian Suisui was in a good mood and was going to go back and get a small notebook to record it.
So funny!
Seeing that both parties calmed down quickly, the shopkeeper continued to order his servants to bring up the trays.
Mrs. Qin stood up, picked out a dragonfly and waved it, called Lian Suisui over, and inserted it in her hair. The playful dragonfly landed on two leaves, swaying slightly as she walked, as if it were alive.
"This one is good, cute and cute, just right for their age! What do you think, Mrs. Sun?"
Sun Mingwei originally didn't think the dragonfly walking wave looked good-looking, but when she wore it on her Lian Sui Sui head, she felt it looked good again.
"Mom, I want this one too."
