Yan Xiaoyue's eyes lit up when she thought of money, she went back to the room and latched the door, and went straight to the fish pond when she entered the space. Scooping up a mussel, priing open the shell, and pressing it with his hand, Shi saw two pink pearls the size of his thumb rolling out, smooth and round, exuding an attractive luster. Yan Xiaoyue picked up the pearl and smiled proudly, she really admired her foresight, at first she just thought about not wasting space, but she didn't expect it to be a surprise. Although this is only a freshwater pearl, it can't withstand the quantity and good quality. I was busy for a long time and kept prying mussel shells and pearl picking, and I filled two large purses before I stopped.

I found two yellow rosewood boxes from the lockers, this wooden box was still made of scraps by the carpenter master carpenter when the carriage was built in Qinghua Town, and it was carved with simple patterns. In her hand, Satsuki was holding the smallest wooden box, the size of an adult man's hand, just enough to hold a thousand pearls. The box was padded with red silk cloth, one was filled with pink pearls, the other was filled with white pearls, and the remaining two purple ones were put directly in the purse.

After leaving the room, the four maids were assigned tasks to send out, and Xiao Yue went out alone with the box, and went straight to the direction of the largest jewelry store in the imperial city, which Xiao Er said.

Looking at the red sandalwood signboard on the eye-catching "closed moon fast" three words, worthy of the entire imperial city of the largest jewelry store, three-story high-rise, spacious hall, the interior decoration is mainly red and purple, full of luxury and festivity, as soon as you enter the door, there is a young man to come to greet, "Little girl, you look very faced, your adult did not follow?" ”

Xiao Yue said casually: "Oh, I'll take a look first, and the rest of the people will choose the materials in the cloth village, and I'll come later." ”

The man immediately said enthusiastically: "Oh, girl, the jewelry in our store is the most fashionable and best-made store in the entire imperial city, and there are gold, silver and jade." The flowers on the girls' heads are exactly the same as those that bloom on the branches, so why don't you take a look at them first? ”

It seems that this guy's exaggerated expression, Xiao Yue nodded with a smile on her face, "Okay, you take some out and I'll pick a few." ”。

After a while, the guy happily brought a plate of head flowers, Xiaoyue looked at it, the guy just now really didn't exaggerate, it looked like it was really no different from real flowers from such a distance, there were peonies, pomegranates, jasmine, roses, peonies, orchids, and all kinds of flowers. In the past, Xiaoyue also bought flowers, and she disliked the poor workmanship and gave them away, but now she is tied to her head with a few silver bells sent by Zigui, and she is also playful when she wears it.

Looking at this plate of head flowers, Xiao Yue also liked it, so she picked a few, and she was really shocked when she checked out, a head flower cost 300 yuan, you must know that this kind of ordinary silk in the town is only ten yuan, and it has multiplied thirty times when it arrives in the imperial city. In the end, Xiaoyue still chose seven, and the guy helped to discount it and use up two taels of silver.

Xiao Yue put away the flowers and asked casually, "Do you have any pearl jewelry here?" Show it to me. ”

"Well, all right." The guy happily wrapped the head flower, took Xiaoyue to a counter, opened the cabinet and brought out a tray, on which was placed a complete set of pearl jewelry, including necklaces, earrings, hairpins, and two bracelets, the pearls were relatively small, the threads were not neat, and they looked a little dull. "How much does this set cost?"

The guy said mysteriously: "This is our better pearl jewelry here, there are many people who have been married recently, and the better pearls have been bought." and for a hundred taels of silver. ”

"So expensive?"

"Yes, this dowry for marrying a daughter must have a set of pearl jewelry, which indicates the preciousness of the daughter's family. As long as the family conditions allow, who will neglect their daughter at this time. Recently, the pearls in our store have been out of supply, and this set is estimated to be left for a short time. If you want it, just wait for your adult to come and buy it back. ”

Seeing that the matter was almost inquired, Xiao Yue said to the guy seriously: "Little second brother, you bring your shopkeeper and say that I have a business to introduce to him, and you will benefit from it later." ”

The guy was startled: "Huh? Little girl, don't talk nonsense? ”

Xiao Yue pretended to be angry and said, "What am I lying to you for?" Just tell your shopkeeper that if the matter is done, your shopkeeper will definitely reward you. After saying that, he handed the man a tael of silver.

The guy looked at Xiao Yue hesitantly, thinking that the shopkeeper's mood seemed to be quite good today, he took the silver and nodded to Xiao Yue and entered the back door, and came out after a while, invited Xiao Yue in, and joked as he walked: "Grandma, I guarantee my life, don't joke about it." ”

Xiao Yue smiled, "Don't worry, you won't lose anything." ”

There was a small reception room behind the door, a middle-aged man with a white face and beard sat on the edge of the round table and looked down at something, heard the voice, got up and arched his hand and said, "The contemptible surname is Li, he is the second shopkeeper in the store, I heard Xiao Wu say that the girl has business to do with us, I don't know what kind of business it is?" "Shopkeeper Li didn't slack off because Yan Xiaoyue was a child.

Xiao Yue likes to speak straight to the point like this, and after seeing Li Bao's cabinet stretching out his hand to sit down, he took out a box and opened it and handed it to Shopkeeper Li, "Hello Shopkeeper Li, my name is Xiaoyue, and my father came to the Imperial City to do some business, I heard that your store is looking for pearls, and I happen to have some pearls here, so I want to come and ask if you need them in your store?" ”

Shopkeeper Li looked at the pearl in surprise, picked up one and twisted it, turned the pearl to the light, and exclaimed: "This is a good lake pearl, we haven't had such a good pearl in the store for a long time!" After waiting, he asked, "Miss Xiaoyue, are you going to sell this bead?" ”

Xiao Yue was puzzled: "It's definitely going to be sold, what's wrong?" ”

"That's the case, there is a distinguished customer in our store, who is looking for good pearls, and we can't hide it, our owner's goods are on the way, and we can't take such good goods from you, why don't I introduce you to meet the nobleman?"

"Okay, then it's going to be troublesome for Shopkeeper Li. It's just that I don't know what price my pearl will sell for? ”

Shopkeeper Li nodded and smiled, "Your pearl is excellent, no matter how high the price is, it can be sold." The best pearl noodles made in our shop are sold for 1,000 taels for the first time. ”

Xiao Yue listened to it and said happily: "Thank you, Shopkeeper Li." ”

"Hehe, whereever, I'm also afraid of breaking the rules."

I followed Shopkeeper Li to the second floor, stopped at the door of the first room on the left, Shopkeeper Li knocked on the door, and a slightly shrewd man in his forties came out, Shopkeeper Li whispered a few times next to his ear, only to hear "...... Good...... Bead...... Ho ......".

The man glanced at Xiao Yue and nodded, then came out after a while, and explained to Xiao Yue: "Little girl, I am the big shopkeeper of the closed moon fast, and the person inside is a nobleman, you be careful not to conflict with others." ”

Xiao Yue was very curious about who was inside, and let the big shopkeeper be so cautious. Nodding and following the big cabinet in, I saw a woman in red sitting sideways on the main seat, with a jade hairpin with an excellent head inserted in her coiled hair, and the bun was wrapped around with a small red bead flower, which can highlight the hairpin, and the whole will not be monotonous. Look at the clothes again, the material is something that Xiaoyue has never seen, but from the texture and pendant, this material is also excellent, not to mention the embroidery, with dark lines entangled, there is a kind of hidden luxury, wearing a ruby ring on his hand, an emerald green bracelet. Well, rich man, Xiao Yue looked at her and smiled so sweetly.
