Chapter 16: Forgive me for not accepting it

When the maidservant handed over the jewelry box, Gu Siniang was still in a state of confusion, she just shouted with the mentality of giving it a try, she was ready, if someone exceeded one hundred and fifty taels of silver, she would give up. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But the fact is that after she shouted the price, there was an eerie silence in the room, which made people scratch their heads.

Cai Lian hurriedly took the silver out, Yun Niang smiled at her, "Since the opening of Cheng Ji, it is the first time that fifty taels of jewelry have been sold. ”

Her estimated price of this jewelry is at least 400 taels or more, but she didn't expect it to be sold at 50 taels now.

She shook her head, fifty taels was not enough for the master's salary.

However, since Cheng Ji is opening the door to do business and has set this rule, there is no reason to beat himself up. So she was also very happy and handed over the jewelry to Gu Siniang.

Gu Siniang took a picture of the jewelry, she was very happy in her heart, she sat aside with the box in her hand and looked at it, she just glanced at it from a distance, and she thought it was very good-looking. Looking closely, the combination of this hairpin and hairpin is even more exquisite than it seems, and fifty taels is really not expensive at all.

She bought the thing she wanted, the third piece of jewelry, and she didn't pay much attention to it, only a cursory glance, which was said to be a complete set of heads. The starting price is one thousand taels.

This price is not something that ordinary people can afford, but Cheng Ji is Cheng Kee, and the people who come here are also ordinary people, and they casually sold it for 1,500 taels.

The person who bought the jewelry, Gu Siniang didn't see it, it was a person in the elegant room on the second floor, through the curtain, she couldn't see the person's face, but she always felt that behind the hanging curtain, there was a pair of eyes staring at her.

She tilted her head and thought about it, maybe she was thinking too much.

After the three main pieces of jewelry were sold, Yun Niang asked people to take out the brocade box, which was full of unique and novel hairpins.

"This is also going to be auctioned?" Gu Siniang glanced at it, and only felt that the style was indeed good-looking.

"No, these hairpins are priced at thirty taels each, and they are specially prepared for young ladies who haven't bought anything." Cai Lian replied.

Gu Siniang nodded, thirty taels of ordinary people is indeed not low, but for these pampered young ladies, it is still cheap.

No wonder although they were full of envy for the first three sets just now, they didn't speak, it turned out that they were waiting for the back.

The hall suddenly became lively, and people who had not bought anything just now gathered around, picking and choosing, and many of them took two or three things.

The total amount of jewelry taken out was only a dozen or twenty pieces, and they were quickly robbed, and many people didn't get anything.

Gu Siniang looked at the high-spirited appearance of the women in front of her, and felt that they were the same as the country women who rushed to the market at the head of the village.

After buying the jewelry, she was about to leave with Cailian, and as soon as the person walked to the door, someone called her behind her.

"Miss Gu, please stay." Yun Niang walked over.

"Is there something wrong?" Gu Siniang looked at her suspiciously.

Yun Niang smiled and waved her hand to the maid behind her, and the maid came over with a brocade box.

"You didn't take anything." Yun Niang said, and the maid opened the jewelry box, revealing a whole set of heads and faces that were almost blinding.

This is exactly the set that was sold for 1,500 taels of silver.

They were standing right at the entrance of Cheng Kee, and inside the house were the young ladies who were about to leave, and there were pedestrians coming and going outside the house. As soon as the jewelry box was opened, it immediately caused a burst of inhalation, and everyone couldn't help but stop and look over.

"I didn't buy this." Gu Siniang looked at Yun Niang with a vigilant face, and couldn't help but beat a little in her heart, this store shouldn't be a black store.

"Miss Gu, don't get me wrong." Yun Niang looked at her and guessed what she was thinking, and couldn't help laughing, "It's also that I didn't make it clear." This jewelry was bought by someone and given to you by Miss Gu. ”

After saying this, Gu Siniang couldn't understand it anymore, if someone said 1,500 taels to buy a set of jewelry for her, then she would definitely feel that this person was sick in the brain.

"Who sent it?" She was a little surprised.

"I can't advise you on that." Yun Niang shook her head.

"I can't accept that." Gu Siniang also shook her head, learning from Yun Niang's appearance.

"Since it's a good intention, why don't Miss Gu Si accept it?" Yun Niang persuaded again, "Accept this gift, Miss Gu Si will soon be on the beauty list." ”

Yun Niang said this for a reason, there are many young ladies in Beijing, and I don't know who made a beauty list when she had nothing to do.

This list is ranked according to the popularity of the beauties, and the popularity is measured by the value of the gifts that the little sisters in Beijing receive every month.

Although it is not allowed to give and receive in private, it means something else if it is given in public.

No matter who it is, as long as the gift is given to the beauty you like in public, the value of the gift can be included in the beauty list.

The higher the value, the higher the ranking, the higher the popularity.

At first, the beauties all refused, but later found that the higher the list, the more people came to ask for marriage.

Each other's families are almost the same, so they are naturally secretly more energetic, so every month when the list is announced, it will cause a lively discussion.

Of course Gu Siniang didn't know about this, she had only been in the capital for a few days, and she didn't know what kind of beauty list she knew.

Cailian is an indigenous, so she naturally understands, she quietly explained a few words in Gu Siniang's ear, and she showed a surprised look.

Isn't this exactly the same as the fan effect of later generations!

Although she thought it was fun, she still couldn't take it. Although she has always thought of herself as a delicate little beauty, she still has self-knowledge. She is not the world, and she deserves a smile.

"Thank you for helping me, I can't accept this gift." She politely took a step back, "My sister is still waiting for me, so I won't tell you more." ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, and Cailian behind her hurriedly followed.

"Fourth Miss, why don't you accept it, this gift is worth a lot of money." Inside the carriage, Cai Lian said with some regret.

If she accepts it, Gu Siniang will naturally occupy a place on the beauty list, and it is very likely that she will defeat the third lady of Weiyuan Houfu, who is at the top of the list.

Gu Siniang glanced at her and pursed her lips, "If you give me silver, I will accept it, the jewelry is very heavy at first glance, and I am afraid that my head will not be able to bear it." ”

Cailian wanted to say something, but when she saw her look, she stopped talking with interest.

When Gu Siniang took the car to Linjia Restaurant, Gu Yuanniang's car had already arrived, and Xiao Er welcomed them into the restaurant and went directly to the elegant room on the second floor.

The window was facing the street, and when she pushed the door in, Gu Yuanniang was retracting her gaze from the outside, and when she saw her coming in, she smiled at her. (To be continued.) )
