Chapter 373: Inexplicable
Then, Pan Shizi, who had a complacent face, paused and was about to turn around, and the smile on his face was gone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Then, he rejected Qi Mubai's question, and couldn't wait to order it to be packed, as if he was afraid of being robbed.
"It's really a bit ......" Xiao Feng touched his nose and secretly sneered, "It's not very polite!"
However, why did this Qi Mubai give him a sense of déjà vu? Obviously, it was the first time he saw it, and he only showed half of his face, and he obviously ...... Well, I can't name any déjà vu characteristics. Last time, he felt that the Dolma next to Princess Thea was familiar, and there was at least one other factor, that is, where did he think he had seen that mole, and there was a conspicuous black mole on the face under his lips, and he really felt that he had seen it, although he still hadn't remembered it.
But Qi Mubai, he really couldn't tell why he had a sense of déjà vu.
Could it be that the so-called gods have been friends for a long time, and they have such a strange feeling?
In any case, Qi Mubai's reputation of "handsome and elegant, with a cold temperament" is really not false, and it is very much in line with his expectations. And his clothing is indeed elegant and unique, the original simple sky blue brocade robe has become vivid and no longer ordinary because of the chic silver collar, and the cuffs and hem are embroidered with silver thread half a palm-wide snowflake-shaped decorative pattern, which just corresponds to the collar, adding two points of noble atmosphere.
Well, he is now officially looking forward to the early opening of branches in the capital and Los Angeles.
What Xiao Feng didn't know was that "Qi Mubai" was also stunned at this moment, not because of Pan Jiaming's actions, but because of his voice, why was he so familiar?
Zhiruo's ability to remember and recognize sounds has never been compared, as long as it is a voice she has heard, even if it is only once, she can usually remember it next time she hears it.
Ah, if she is not mistaken, isn't this Pan Jiaming's voice? Seeing Xiao Feng, who had already turned around and was looking at her, she was very emotional and determined that the little and arrogant guy in front of her was undoubtedly Pan Jiaming.
It's not strange that they will run into each other in Changyang City, but it's just that these two big men come to the jewelry shop, just look at the jade pendant, hair crown or something, but I like the same hosta with her, it's really annoying! The snow lotus hosta that amazes her She really wants to take a good look at it, this is the first time she fell in love with a piece of jewelry at first sight.
In other words, although Pan Jiaming has the notoriety of being the head of the three tyrants, she has never had such an arrogant attitude in her eyes before. Moreover, isn't he still close to women, and he hasn't heard that he has already decided to marry or something, why did he suddenly come to buy a hairpin for women, and he still looks so important? Won't he start saving a dowry for Xiao Ling'er, right?
As soon as the shopkeeper heard Pan Shizi say "wrap up," he naturally responded, not to mention that the British government would not owe them money for the hairpin, and even if Pan Shizi did not bring enough silver, wouldn't there still be a prefect to help pay the money? The person specially sent by the prefect of the king to explain to them had just walked for less than two quarters of an hour.
"Good at all, don't worry, we have a special brocade box with cotton to ensure that your hairpin will not be lost. The shopkeeper quickly took out the box and carefully packed the hairpin, and replied with a bright smile, "The original price is 20,000 taels of silver, and the son is the first time to come, so I will give a discount, and it will be 18,000 taels." Childe, do you think it is cash or ...... Accounting first?"
This price is almost two hundred taels lower than the lowest price he can give within his authority, but he believes that if the owner knows, he will only praise him for his cleverness, in case Pan Shizi bought this hairpin for the queen's mother, wouldn't it add a good name to their Zhenyu Pavilion? Everyone knows that there is no woman by Pan Shizi's side now, even if there is an eye-catching maid and a dewy love attached to it, there is no need to spend such a large amount of money, right?
Even if it is not given to the queen's mother, it can make Pan Shizi happy and satisfied, and they will not lose the two hundred taels, right?
"Bookkeeping?" Pan Jiaming frowned, "You said that it was the first time I came, and such a large sum of money dared me to keep accounts? Four, give an extra three hundred taels and invite the shopkeeper to drink tea. "You don't need to ask him to know, the shopkeeper must know his identity, maybe someone gave a promise in advance, so he is not afraid of not receiving the silver, since he came out on an errand, these tricks have already been seen.
However, when it was sent to him, he would take it, and he would never pay directly for what he wanted to buy in the shop, leaving no tongue to those people.
What's more, that Qi Mubai is behind him, how can he make people look down on him? Master, he is not short of these two thousand.
After paying the silver and the dust settled, Pan Jiaming turned around with an indifferent look, he wanted to see how good-looking this Qi Mubai was.
I don't want to, as soon as I turned around and faced "Qi Mubai", his whole person was not good, and he was stunned on the spot. This Qi Mubai is too similar to Miss Yin, to be precise, the girl Yin who is dressed in men's clothes is too similar! The main thing is that the temperament is similar, and they both have an elegant and noble charm like orchid and bamboo. This made Pan Jiaming involuntarily think of Xiao Feng's sentence "Golden Boy and Jade Girl", his heart was sour, and his brows were furrowed.
Although he was extremely reluctant to admit it, he still couldn't help but think in his heart that if he was Miss Yin, with two men like him and Qi Mubai standing in front of him, his eyes would definitely be fixed on Qi Mubai. At this moment, he really regrets that he has been pretending to be a ruffian for too many years, so that his whole temperament is ruffian, and people can be sure that he is a ruffian at a glance.
If you knew that he was so arrogant, she would have pouted and said, "You are too self-aware! ”
Zhiruo is a little inexplicable, why did this guy look at her with a look of jealousy, when did "Qi Mubai" offend him? Just for a hairpin? He has already bought it, isn't it?
She was still thinking about whether to discuss with Pan Jiaming and buy the hairpin from him at a price of 20,000 taels of silver, but at this moment she had a hunch that there seemed to be no need for that. From Pan Jiaming's eyes, she really saw a kind of vigilance and unfriendliness......
"Qi Gongzi," at the gesture of the shopkeeper, a guy who was originally standing next to the shopkeeper to help hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "In addition to that Tianshan Yuxue, there are a few new treasures in our store, Gongzi might as well take a look to see if there is anything that fits his eyes." ”
"Qi Mubai" was still very friendly: "Thank you, I deliberately found the Zhenyu Pavilion to take a good look." Pan Jiaming is not short of silver, but also so inexplicably disgusted with "Qi Mubai", even if she is willing to add some more silver, she must not be able to talk about it, why take the humiliation of herself?
The things in the Jade Pavilion are really good, and the variety is also rich. In addition to the two Yaxiu Pavilion before his mother Qianxin, this is probably the most optimistic jewelry shop in ancient times. However, the jewelry of Yaxiu Pavilion is mainly gold and silver or gold and silver inlaid with jewels and jade, while the Jade Pavilion is heavy on jade ornaments.
Although she never encountered a treasure that instantly caught her eye like Tianshan Yuxue, Zhiruo still selected several items for her younger brothers and sisters, one of which was a pair of jade pendants engraved with a unicorn and a lin, which was also a valuable item that the shopkeeper had just taken out with Tianshan Yuxue not long ago, not only sold, but a pair of 23,000 taels of silver.
That guy's eyes were almost straight, and his face was excited, big customer! He will probably get more bonus for entertaining this customer today than he would in a month on a normal day.
The shopkeeper who was accompanying Pan Jiaming and the two to continue to visit the shop was also too excited, and secretly glanced over a few times from time to time, what kind of good day is today?
Pan Jiaming browsed a dazzling variety of jewelry on the surface, but secretly kept paying attention to "Qi Mubai", this person would not have never entered the jewelry shop, or where would he go to kiss?
Not to mention, because he used to have his own jewelry shop, which was still one of the best in the capital, Zhiruo really hardly visited other jewelry stores. After living in Meizhuang with her younger brothers and sisters, although the original jewelry and ornaments of several younger brothers and sisters were raided from the house, because she was in the filial piety period, she should not dress up too gorgeously, and she did not help to make a big deal, but only found some suitable ones from her dowry, and occasionally bought a few when she went shopping in Zhuangzi. Later, when I started to prepare for the silver building and design samples, I got a few simple things for my four younger siblings.
Therefore, since she has met this treasure jade pavilion that is still in line with her aesthetics, jade jewelry is a kind of precious jewelry that pays attention to quality, craftsmanship, taste, and is not easy to be outdated and has collectible value.
Uh, including the two brothers-in-law, as well as Ruchun, Rudong, Qi Bo, Qiangbo, and Don't forget them, she has to pick out some jade ornaments that suit their identity and temperament as souvenirs, isn't it? She doesn't have many opportunities to go far away, even if it is the simplest jade ring and jade buckle of dozens of hundred silver, it is also a heart, isn't it? The main thing is that the things in the Zhenyu Pavilion are really worth the money, and it is worth her to be a shopaholic.
In ancient times, merchants were still very particular, and the discounts were real, which was also a marketing method, because they did not have so many advertising and other publicity channels in later generations.
Sure enough, after the shopkeeper took the abacus with a red face and crackled, he waved his hand very happily: "A total of 35,800 taels, the first time Gongzi Qi came, and he was so generous, our Zhenyu Pavilion must also express our sincerity to such a big customer as Gongzi." So let's erase the fraction, and it's thirty-five thousand taels.
In addition, we have just sorted out some jade bracelets, jade buckles, jade beads or something with slight flaws in the shop, and the son will definitely not look down on it for his own use, but it is extremely decent to reward the next person or some distant relatives or something. He had the same idea as Pan Jiaming, guessing that "Qi Mubai" should buy such things to meet relatives and visit relatives, so he thought of giving away those slightly defective products.
The shopkeeper didn't fool anyone, and those things were all sold in the store. The Zhenyu Pavilion will often inspect the goods, and find defects, slight losses, etc., and will pick them out and sell them together, of course, the price is much cheaper, so every time it is put out, it will almost be sold out. Some aunts, concubines, cousins, and so on in the house who are not of high status and have poor economic conditions will also send mothers-in-law and maids to ask when there will be new slightly defective products for sale.
Zhiruo is not hypocritical, and after thanking him, he let Luoshuang pick it, Yaxiu Pavilion also had such a convention in the past, but the county lord of Qianxin often brought it back and used it directly for rewarding in the house, especially the batch that was sorted out when it was close to the end of the year.
I don't know why, the longer Pan Jiaming pays attention to "Qi Mubai", the more he feels that his temperament matches that of Miss Yin, and then the more uncomfortable he becomes. However, "Qi Mubai" is also an arrogant person, so he likes Tianshan Xueyu so much and does not try to plead with him, which makes him have no excuse to vent the depression in his chest, and his face is even darker. In the end, he "hummed" and waved away, and the shopkeeper was stunned and thought about it for a long time, and he didn't understand when he offended Pan Shizi, wouldn't it be that there were no defective products for rewarding Pan Shizi?
Xiao Feng soothed the shopkeeper with his eyes to feel at ease, and then arched his hand to "Qi Mubai", and hurriedly chased Pan Jiaming. Now that he regrets his death, why did he make such a joke with Pan Jiaming? However, he really didn't expect when this kid would become so naïve, childish, and unreasonable. Could it be that it is really like what the book says, falling in love with someone will make people lose their minds? It's just that he said a joke, Pan Jiaming saw that Qi Mubai, who should have been very close to him, was not pleasing to his eyes, and if other men approached Miss Yin in the future, or even begged to marry Miss Yin, wouldn't he have murderous intentions?
Zhiruo also rolled her eyes inexplicably, when she arrived at the Qi family's base camp in the South China Sea, she must ask Uncle Tong or Brother Cunyi, whether the previous Qi Mubai's stand-ins had offended Pan Jiaming or the British Mansion, and actually provoked him to really become an unreliable scoundrel.
After Pan Jiaming, who was inexplicably irritable, rushed out of Zhenyu Pavilion, he still rushed forward with a black face all the way, almost knocking a hunchbacked gray-clothed old woman to the ground, and quickly helped him. The old woman hugged his arm and stood up for breath, only then did she bow down to express her gratitude, and then walked away tremblingly, and suddenly looked back at Pan Jiaming after taking two steps.
Pan Jiaming turned around and continued walking, only took a few steps and suddenly felt that the old woman's eyes were a little weird, and turned back suddenly, but saw that the old woman who was trembling and swaying in one step or two had already walked to the corner of the street, winking at her, standing straight, how could there be a hunchback? )
