Chapter 365: Sharp-eyed treasure
The shopkeeper himself went behind the curtain and brought out three intricately carved boxes inlaid with jewels.
As soon as Chu Man'er saw the box, she exclaimed, "Wow! It's beautiful! "Reach out and touch it.
The shopkeeper held the box and dodged, and said: "Miss, don't be impatient, this thing is expensive, wait for the villain to put it away, and Miss will not be too late to see it." After that, he placed the exquisite boxes on the desk one by one, and then opened the first box, and said, "This necklace uses sixteen kinds of gemstones, each of which has a different color. When the sun shines, it will emit sixteen different colors, which is extremely dazzling. These gems are all polished from the best gems of the surrounding countries and our feast, and they are extremely precious and full of water. This chain is called the beauty of the sixteenth marriage. Used as a dowry, it is the most face-saving. ”
Chu Man'er's eyes widened and asked, "How much silver?!" "That way, it's like a necessity. Just because I like it too much.
The shopkeeper smiled: "Three thousand taels of silver is enough." ”
Chu Man'er breathed suffocated, and suddenly felt that her heart, spleen and lungs hurt.
Chu Zhaoyue looked at the necklace, her eyes were also a little obsessed, but she quickly took it back and stopped looking at it. Some things are good, but they are not something you are entitled to. Even if you get it by luck, it may not be ...... Hold on. What's more, it's still such a valuable thing.
Aunt Rou's chest rose and fell, obviously attracted by the sixteen-colored gemstone necklace.
I don't know when, Chu Lianying also walked into the hairpin house, and her eyes and heart were fascinated by the necklace.
Chu Yueli also thought it was good-looking, but ...... But it didn't catch the eye. It's just a necklace, three thousand taels, she can't bear it.
The shopkeeper saw that Chu Yueli was not interested, so he opened the second finely carved box, only to hear Chu Man'er "ah", as if frightened.
The shopkeeper smiled proudly and said, "These two golden steps are one foot long each, and they can hang their shoulders." Each one, there are two peonies carved from red feathers, which are as thin as wings and lifelike. Under the peony, eight silk threads hang down. In the silk thread, there are small flowers and leaves, which are very delicate and chic. If you walk, it is like a flower on the sideburns, which is the most beautiful. This pair of golden steps shakes, and the name is called the national color and fragrant sideburns. ”
Except for Chu Yueli, all the women's eyes were dumbfounded.
You must know that such a beautiful golden step shake may not be able to catch up with the craftsmanship of the Ouchi Manufacturing Bureau. Look at the flowers, like real peonies, layered on top of each other, both dignified and generous and enchanting. Look at the hanging gold thread again, it is like a tassel, and if you shake it gently, it will ripple with golden ripples! Is...... It's so pretty!
Chu Yueli thought that thing was in the way, and it was inconvenient for her to do evil when she wore it on her head, so she directly clicked the third box with her hand and said, "Open it and take a look." "With a little hand, I found that the box that looked carved with a gorgeous pattern had subtle depressions and undulations, but if you looked closely, you couldn't see anything.
The shopkeeper didn't expect Chu Yueli to want anything, and he was slightly disappointed in his heart, but he still opened the third box and said, "This is a ring." The silvery white place is a very special gemstone. This gemstone is very difficult to polish, but its advantage is that it is as hard as iron! ”
Chu Man'er pouted and said, "What kind of thing is this?" A gemstone that is not round or flat, it still looks a little unclear, and there is no head at all. Shopkeeper, don't pass off the bad for the good, and smash the signboard carefully. ”
The shopkeeper said: "Don't dare, don't dare." This baby was just brought back by the owner. The proprietor said that this is a good object, and it must be true. It's just that the villain is clumsy, and he can't understand what it is. Seeing that Chu Man'er was about to reach out and touch it, the shopkeeper left to buckle the lid and explained, "This thing is a little sharp, you have to be careful, don't touch your hands." ”
Chu Man'er pouted and said, "The shopkeeper just doesn't want people to touch it!" ”
The shopkeeper coaxed: "This is for fear of hurting the young lady's hand." ”
Chu Yueli was a little surprised. That thing, in fact, is the diamond that has not yet been cut. With today's technology, it is difficult to cut and polish it to a polished appearance.
However, this diamond, which is the size of half a pigeon's egg, is definitely worth fighting for in modern times.
Chu Yueli pretended to look at the jewelry, touched the boxes one by one, and finally asked, "How much silver are the two golden steps?" ”
When the shopkeeper saw that there was a door, he immediately replied: "Those two national colors and fragrant sideburns cost five thousand taels of silver." ”
Chu Yueli straightened up and said, "It's too expensive." ”
The shopkeeper said: "Rare, not expensive." If the lady in the palace knew about this pair of Jin Buyao, she would definitely have to pay a lot of money to reward. ”
Chu Yueli smiled: "I can't take out so much silver. "What about the ring?" ”
The shopkeeper said casually: "That ring, if the young lady likes it, I will take it for a thousand taels." ”
Chu Yueli pursed her lips and said, "Five hundred taels is about the same." ”
The shopkeeper said: "Five hundred taels? Oh, miss, that's a rare thing, five hundred taels is not good. Our hairpin house is a time-honored brand in the imperial capital, and we never bargain. However, the shop is also willing to have a good relationship with the young lady. If Miss bought the first two things together, this ring will be a congratulatory gift from the store to Miss. ”
Chu Yueli pointed to those ornaments and said, "Just some, eight thousand taels?!" ”
The old god of the shopkeeper was there, and replied: "These are a total of 10,000 taels." ”
Chu Man'er asked, "Just now I said that it was eight thousand taels!" The necklace is three thousand taels, and the golden step shakes five thousand taels, when we don't count?! ”
Chu Yueli thought for a moment and said, "Box, want money?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "Third Miss Mingjian." These three boxes, but they are from the hands of Master Hongyan, they can be called unique.
Chu Yueli shook her head and smiled: "The shopkeeper is here for my 10,000 taels of silver dowry." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "It's not either, it's just a coincidence." "Slightly paused, "What does the third lady think?" Do you want to wrap it up? Such a rarity, if you go out with the front foot, the back foot will definitely be favored by other nobles. Honestly, these three accessories with these three boxes, it is really unparalleled in the world! ”
Chu Yueli was a little moved, but ...... Thinking about her purse, she decided to make a move. So, she didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out three thousand taels of silver tickets, slapped them on the desk, and said, "Three boxes and a ring, wrap them." ”
The shopkeeper was stupid and asked, "Is this ...... This ...... What does this mean? ”
Chu Yueli said: "Things have their own price, you say it, I will respond, and this deal will be done." Moreover, I only have these three thousand taels of silver, can't the shopkeeper see it? ”
The shopkeeper was completely speechless. He struggled for a moment, finally gritted his teeth, and said, "I can't hide it, Third Miss, this box is really transferred to you at this price." Who would have thought that the young lady would want this box, not the jewelry inside. Well, since the young lady said it, the deal is done. Fortunately, this ring is somewhat profitable, otherwise...... The villain is really going to be sorry for the owner. ”
Chu Yueli smiled: "Then thank you." At the end of tonight, or tomorrow morning, just send it to the Chu Mansion for me. "In my heart, I can't do it, I can't wait to get the baby right away, and see what is engraved on those boxes!
