After chatting with Mrs. Lu and the Qin family for a long time, Bai Mujin said goodbye to the two elders, and she had another plan to go out today, so she couldn't stay for a long time.

Leaving the Lu family, she turned the carriage to the most prosperous street in the capital, speaking of which, there is also her mother's dowry shop, today she is ready to come to her shop to choose a few things that can be seen as Mu Xinping's makeup.

The carriage stopped in front of the shop of "Zhenbao Zhai", but found that there seemed to be a lot of doors in front of the shop, and when he got closer, even the shopkeeper was dozing off with his chin propped up, Bai Mujin couldn't help frowning, how did the Lu family manage the house, and these people who indulged were so lazy.

Bai Mujin suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and led the magpie and the mandarin duck in, buckled the counter, and the shopkeeper woke up, and when he saw a guest coming, he did not greet him very carefully: "Miss, what do you need?" ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus looked at the lattice where the precious jewels were placed, and some of them were covered with a layer of dust, those jewels were still the old style of the year before last, and the lady who could afford such a precious thing, where could she still see such an old style?

No wonder "Jumbo Zhai" looks so bad, the heart will be a fire to the up, just now she also noticed that the opposite of the "Linglong Fang" that has just opened a few years, but the business is booming, the carriage in front of the door is parked several, the store is full of guests coming and going, and their own "Jumbo Zhai" compared, it is really a cloud and mud difference.

She clearly remembered that Jumbo Zhai was still a well-known jewelry shop in the capital a few years ago, and the aristocratic circle was proud to have the latest style of jewelry in Jumbo Zhai. But in recent years, it has gradually fallen silent, in her previous life, she married, but Zhenbao Zhai has long been closed due to poor management, and the shop can only be rented to other families to earn some rent.

Now that I think about it, it must be the Lu family who is behind it, otherwise how could a prosperous shop be able to become like this in just a few years.

Bai Muhibiscus did not indicate his identity, only frowned and said: "Why are the ornaments in your shop so old, they are not popular for a long time, are there any new products for me to see?" ”

The shopkeeper glanced at Bai Hibiscus lazily, and seemed to be a little impatient and said: "That's all, you can live and see, although the objects in our shop are old, the available materials and work are definitely a top one, and other companies can't compare!" ”

"No matter how good the materials and work are, I haven't changed the style, and even such a valuable bead hairpin is covered with dust, how can I sell it? How the hell are you doing business, aren't you ready to close your doors? Hibiscus asked with feigned disdain.

The shopkeeper didn't care, but smiled contemptuously and laughed at himself: "Sooner or later, it will have to be closed, it's a pity that these decades of hard work have been ......."

Bai Mu Hibiscus asked in surprise, "What do you want to close?" In the early years, Jumbo Zhai was very popular, and my family had to buy a lot of jewelry in Jumbo Zhai every year! ”

The shopkeeper looked at Bai Hibiscus and saw that her eyes were very raw, so he did not shy away from saying, "You must rarely come to our shop to buy things by yourself, right?" I won't tell you the truth, now it's getting worse, and I'm gradually unable to make ends meet, I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold on to it in another year and a half. My family's skilled craftsmen have all been poached, how can Zhenbao Zhai continue to operate? ”

When Bai Mujian heard this, he also knew that this shopkeeper was not from the Lu family, and he may have married with his mother's shop in his early years, so he patiently asked: "Why would your craftsman ask another family to dig it up?" Generally speaking, these craftsmen have signed a death contract, which is a bit strange! ”

"Hey...... I don't understand it with you, it's all the master's business, those of us who are subordinates, where are we qualified to interject, a good treasure Zhai, I also spent a lot of effort, but how can my arms be twisted over my thighs, and someone is determined to let this shop go out of business, so what about the store that can't be closed? The shopkeeper shook his head, looking disheartened.

Bai Mujin secretly clenched her fists, it turned out that her mother's dowry was ruined like this, the Lu family is really a good means, then Linglong Fang must also be the Lu family's secret industry, right? It's really seamless, if I hadn't come to see it today, I wouldn't have known that she had done so much behind her back.

In order to prove his guess, Bai Mu Hibiscus took the magpie and the mandarin duck around the street, and the several shops he knew were all in the same situation, all of them were depressed, and there would be competitors in the same room or across the door, and the booming business was in stark contrast to it.

If there is no problem, then there is a ghost, Bai Hibiscus's face became more and more cold, and the mandarin duck and magpie could only accompany her silently.

"Let's go, let's go to Linglong Fang!" Bai Mu Hibiscus suddenly commanded, Linglong Fang was the most prosperous one in the business that robbed her family's original shop, so Bai Mu Hibiscus planned to start investigating from there, and she just needed a few pieces of head to give away.

When the magpie heard this, he immediately pouted and asked, "Miss, why do you want to go to Linglong Fang, they robbed our shop's business, and you still patronize them!" ”

"It's because they robbed us of our business that I'm going to patronize it, but I want to see why this Linglong Fang is so proud!" There was a cold light in Bai Mujian's eyes, and what she wanted Lu to eat was spit out for her.

The mandarin duck nodded, as if he understood the meaning of the white hibiscus, and stopped the carriage in front of the door of Linglong Fang. The mandarin duck and the magpie helped Bai Hibiscus get out of the car and walked into the shop.

Linglong Fang is indeed thoughtful, before they have even stepped into the threshold, there are two neatly dressed teenagers at the door, with a respectful but not flattering smile, which makes people unconsciously have a good feeling when they see it.

Bai Mu Hibiscus only glanced at them, and then walked in by himself, but he didn't want to meet an acquaintance, it was Lu Tian, who was waiting by his uncle's side, and was inspecting what seemed to be a customized set of red gold noodles. She only took a cursory glance, the design of the head face is unique and novel, with butterflies as the main body, a pair of step shakes, a hairpin, a pair of earrings, and a pair of carved gold bracelets. The materials and work are extremely particular.

As soon as Lu Tian turned around, he saw Bai Mu Hibiscus, and a panicked expression flashed on his face, if Bai Mu Hibiscus hadn't looked carefully, he would have really missed this fleeting expression of astonishment.

Lu Tian hurriedly saluted Bai Muhibiscus and said, "Miss Cousin is polite!" ”

Bai Mujin only nodded, and because of Lu Tian's performance just now, she asked more: "Is this what the eldest uncle wants to give to the eldest aunt?" ”

The reason why I didn't ask if it was the eldest aunt who set it herself, it was because Lu Tian was served by the eldest uncle Lu Zhaoran, and he only obeyed the orders of the eldest uncle, and if it was an object bought by the eldest aunt herself, he would not let him take it.

Lu Tian nodded with a smile and replied: "Yes, the eldest master personally asked the little one to come to Linglong Fang to customize!" ”

Bai Mujin nodded and said, "Oh, then you can go with your business!" ”

Lu Tian retired as if he had been amnestied, and only after walking out of the shop did he look back at Bai Hibiscus, and saw that she had already turned her back to look at the face of the shop, so he left with confidence.

Although Bai Mujin was puzzled, she didn't care much, after all, she came to investigate the "enemy situation", and carefully looked at the furnishings of Linglong Fang, which was well arranged, and the samples put out were all the latest styles, with novel and unique designs, exquisite workmanship, and dazzling colors, no wonder the business was so good.

However, she also saw that these designs and workmanship were very familiar, and they were very similar to the heads she had brought back from Zhenbao Zhai a few years ago.

She doesn't know much about jewelry, but because she often plays with it by herself, she can also see that each craftsman has his own style of making beads, even if he changes the style, these styles can't be changed.

happened to look at a pair of mutton fat and Tian Tongxin Pei was a little distracted, and the guy in charge of this piece enthusiastically took it out of the counter, put it in front of Bai Mu Hibiscus, and introduced: "Miss's vision is really good, this jade is the real mutton fat and Tian jade, look at this color, water and water, a good thing that money can't buy." If you fancy it, our store also has a set of heads, you can buy together, whether it is to give away or wear yourself, it is very face-saving! ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus listened to the praise of this concentric admiration in his mouth, so he took a serious look at it, and gently touched it in his hand for a while, and it was indeed extremely moist, and it was indeed a good jade.

Seeing the meaning of liking in her eyes, the guy hurriedly ordered someone from behind to take out the head face that was also made of mutton fat jade, a pair of pendants, a pair of hostas, and a pair of jade bracelets, all of which were polished from the same piece of jade.

Bai Mu Hibiscus looked at it and said, "It's really good, the style and materials are excellent, I don't know how much silver it costs?" ”

"If Miss really likes it, buy this full set, I can discuss it with the shopkeeper, and wipe it for you, only one thousand taels of silver!" The guy flattered the price.

When Bai Mujian heard this price, he knew that Linglong Fang would really do business, although this mutton fat jade was precious, but the price was not so high, a thousand taels of silver, enough for those poor families to eat for a lifetime.

Seeing Bai Hibiscus showing a hesitant look, the guy immediately said: "Miss, don't be too expensive, they all say that gold is priceless and jade is priceless, authentic mutton fat and Tian jade, you will definitely not lose this price, to tell the truth, this was originally cut out of a whole piece of jade, and the core part was taken to carve a white jade Guanyin, and the rest of these leftovers made this head, if not, you can't buy it for a thousand taels!" ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus saw that what he said was telling the truth, because once this kind of jade is produced, it is impossible to only use it to make a set of head noodles so little, she originally planned to buy a decent set of head noodles to give to Mu Xinping, but it was too shabby to make a move, and she couldn't get by, so she was about to buy it.

The hand just touched, but someone took the first step, Bai Mujian frowned slightly, but saw a little girl about ten years old holding the set of mutton fat and Tian Yu's head, her eyes were full of joy, and she said to the guy very boldly: "Man, how much silver does this cost?" I want it! ”

The guy glanced at Bai Hibiscus with a little embarrassment, and said embarrassedly: "Miss, I'm sorry, this set of heads is the first thing this lady fancies, so ......"

The little girl had bright eyes and bright teeth, and she was dressed extraordinarily, and at first glance she was a pampered eldest lady, but at this time she seemed to have discovered Bai Hibiscus, turned her head to look at her, and said with a little displeasure in her eyes: "You took a fancy to it first?" ”

Bai Mujin originally didn't plan to fight with others, but when he saw that this girl was disdainful, and her tone of voice was impulsive, she said: "Yes, I was about to buy it!" ”

"Then you can look at something else, I want this set of heads!" Although the little girl was young, her tone was not small, and she didn't mean to discuss at all, so she directly ordered Bai Mujian to give up.
