Although they are protected by chasing clouds and shooting the moon, as well as the silent words of martial arts, they are always by their side. Xia Jinse doesn't know martial arts, so he must have some means of self-protection, in addition to the anti-wolf spray, this rainstorm weapon is quite lethal.

I didn't expect to gain something from a trip to Baizhen Building, and she became more and more interested in the things here.

There are too many things on this floor, Xia Jinse can't finish it in a day, she is holding a set of nine rings and studying, and suddenly she heard a faint sound from the floor below, as if there were guests arguing downstairs.

"This thing was bought by our young lady in your Baizhen Building, and it cost five hundred taels of silver, and it broke in just one day, what's the matter?"

"Wouldn't it? Miss Xia, the items from our Baizhen Building are absolutely of good quality, how can they be broken in one day? ”

Another gentle voice sounded: "I don't want to wronged you, maybe there is some misunderstanding, please ask the owner of your store to come out, I will ask him personally." ”

Xia Jinse's heart moved, how could this voice sound so familiar?

Putting down the Nine Links, Xia Jinse went down the stairs and stood on the stairs leading to the lobby on the first floor and watched.

A girl in a white dress with two girls is reasoning with her buddies in front of the counter, her face is elegant, gentle as water, and her eyes seem to be full of autumn water, which makes people feel pity when they look at it.

It turned out to be the White Lotus, the only daughter of the Xia family's third room, Xia Yulan!

She was able to come to Baizhen Building to consume, although it was a house full of gold and jade on the first floor, it was definitely worth a lot. It seems that the third room of the Xia family is really rich, and it is worthy of being a businessman with a big business.

Hearing Xia Yulan's words, the guy was also very polite, and asked her to wait, and the other guy went upstairs to find the steward.

After a while, the steward of Baizhen Building came, and saw Xia Jinse standing there, about to greet her, Xia Jinse hurriedly made a booing motion, and the steward understood and nodded.

"It turned out to be Miss Xia Si, disrespectful and disrespectful, I heard that a hairpin that Miss Si bought yesterday was broken, can you show it to the contemptible people?" The steward is also a human spirit, so naturally he will not offend any of the guests of Baizhen Building, with a smile on his face.

Xia Yulan looked at the person and was a little disappointed: "It turned out to be Luo Guanshi, what about your owner?" ”

Steward Luo said: "It's just that a hairpin is broken, don't bother our host, can Miss Xia Si show the broken hairpin to the contemptible people?" ”

Xia Jinse, who was not far away, understood, the feeling was that the drunkard did not mean to drink, Xia Yulan was coming for the fifth prince Lan Muxuan!

Xia Yulan had no choice but to let the girl next to her take out the hairpin.

This is a hairpin inlaid with colorful gemstones, in the shape of a peacock feather, each silver filament is as thin as a hair, shining with silver light. In the center of the feather, a circle of colored gemstones is inlaid with it, and at a glance, it looks like a real peacock feather.

But now, in the center of this hairpin, two gems have dropped, although it is not very obvious, but it can still be seen on a closer look.

Steward Luo took a look, and said with a faint smile after a moment: "Miss Xia Si, this hairpin is not a craftsman's problem, but a man-made damage." If the contemptible guess is correct, it should have fallen to the ground, causing the gem to fall off. ”

"This ......" Xia Yulan's face changed slightly, but she didn't expect the other party to see it at a glance.

This hairpin was indeed deliberately thrown to the ground, and she fell hard three times before finally dropping two gems. If not, how could she take this opportunity to come to Baizhen Building?

"The quality of the goods in our Baizhen Building is absolutely fine, and it will not be damaged for ten years when it is used normally. Miss Xia Si's hairpin was broken, so it was not within the scope of maintenance of the shop. ”

As soon as Steward Luo finished speaking, he changed his words and said with a smile: "However, in view of the fact that Miss Xia Si is a big customer of our Baizhen Building, we are willing to repair Miss Xia Si free of charge to ensure that there is no flaw." ”

This was not Xia Yulan's purpose at all, but she couldn't find any dissatisfaction with Steward Luo's words, so she could only say, "Okay, I'm tired." ”

"Miss Lao Xia Si handed over the two fallen gems to the contemptible people, so that the contemptible people could go and let the craftsmen repair them."

"Dropped gems?"

Xia Yulan was surprised: "Such a small broken gem, if you drop it, you can't find it, where do I still have it?" ”

Steward Luo still smiled formulaically: "Since this is the case, then the cost will be charged, a total of twenty taels of silver." ”

"Two gems smaller than a grain of rice cost twenty taels? You're too bad, aren't you? Xia Yulan couldn't hold back her elegance anymore and exclaimed.

Originally, it cost her five hundred taels to buy this hairpin, and she was distressed, but now it will cost twenty taels, no matter how much money she has, it is not such a waste!

She was immediately unwilling, and her face sank: "I won't give these twenty taels, you must repair it for me today, otherwise, Miss Ben won't leave!" ”

Listening to Xia Yulan and Steward Luo's words, Xia Jinse hooked his finger at a guy in the lobby and summoned him over to ask, "This Miss Xia Si, do you often come to Baizhen Building?" ”

Although he didn't know Xia Jinse's identity, this guy also knew that she was personally picked up by the Ninth Prince, and her identity was absolutely noble, so he immediately whispered: "This Miss Xia Si comes back to Baizhen Building every month to shop, and it has cost about tens of thousands of taels of silver." ”

"So much?" No wonder Steward Luo said that Xia Yulan was a big customer, and she spent more than 10,000 taels of silver, and if it was her, she would have to offer such a God of Wealth Bodhisattva.

The guy smiled secretly, and said, "Don't hide it, this Miss Xia Si came to our Baizhen Building, in fact, it was for the five princes of our host!" Every time she came, she had to ask if the five princes were there, and she wanted to see the five princes under various excuses, but how could she easily see the master of my family? ”

Listening to the mockery in the guy's tone, Xia Jinse understood Shang Jia's status in the Daqing Dynasty even more.

Even though the family has a lot of money, a businessman is a businessman, full of copper smell, no treachery or businessman, and he is not allowed to be on the stage at all in the hearts of the powerful. If it weren't for the sake of profit, I was afraid that I wouldn't say a word to Shang Jia at all, and even some literati would talk about Shang Jia with contempt on their faces and look down on them at all.

No wonder Xia Yulan fell in love with the fifth prince Lan Muxuan, because this was her only possibility...... A prince within reach.

Lan Muxuan does not look down on businessmen, and even does business himself, so in the hearts of businessmen, being able to make friends with the five princes is a symbol of identity and face. Although Xia Yulan is the fourth lady of the Xia family and is not short of money, she also hopes to climb to the fifth prince and enter another circle.

With this kind of thought, Xia Jinse is not good at evaluating whether it is right or wrong.

Everyone goes to a high place, Xia Yulan has a crush on the five princes, as long as she catches up, it is her own ability. But this matter has nothing to do with her, just watch the play.

She was about to go upstairs, but as soon as she turned around, Xia Yulan shouted: "Big sister? Big sister, is that you? ”

Was it discovered?

Xia Jinse was helpless, so she could only turn around and stand still, Xia Yulan looked at it, she was surprised and surprised, it was really her!

"Big sister, why are you here?"

"I'll take a look here, it's fine."

Xia Jinse didn't want to entangle with her, so he said directly: "Since the fourth sister has something, I won't delay, goodbye." ”

She turned around and was about to leave, but Xia Yulan walked over quickly, and went up the stairs in two steps. He also took her hand affectionately and asked, "Big sister shouldn't be here to find the fifth prince, right?" Last time, I saw the Five Princes send you back, but I didn't expect the eldest sister to be so familiar with the Five Princes. ”

As she spoke, she secretly looked upstairs: "The fifth prince shouldn't be upstairs, right?" That's right, I'll accompany my sister to give a salute to the five princes, otherwise it will be too rude. ”

Xia Jinse wanted to laugh when she heard it, Xia Yulan really sharpened her head and wanted to drill upstairs, she just wanted to see the fifth prince, and she actually took advantage of her! She didn't want to be used, so she pushed Xia Yulan's hand away without a trace, and said lightly: "The fourth sister wants to go up, just go by yourself, I haven't seen enough of these things, so I won't accompany you." ”

Xia Yulan was suddenly embarrassed, if she could see the fifth prince casually, could she still be so upset?

This year, she has spent more than 10,000 taels of silver, but she has only seen the five princes once. The second time I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Xia Ruxue, and when I came out, I met the five princes once.

And according to the rules of Baizhen Building, guests can only go up to the fourth floor at most, but the fifth prince is on the fifth floor, where can she see it?

went upstairs and didn't consume, where could she afford to lose this face?

"Big Sister ......"

As soon as he shouted, Steward Luo in the lobby shouted again: "Miss Xia Si, is your hairpin still repaired?" ”

Xia Yulan glanced at Xia Jinse's back angrily, and could only turn around and go downstairs.

returned to the fourth floor, Lan Beichen glanced lightly: "After watching the play?" ”

"Do you still know that I watch a play?" This man is such a ghost, nothing can escape his eyes, Xia Jinse waved his hand: "It's not interesting, it's not as fun as the things here." ”

For the whole afternoon, she was watching all kinds of strange and interesting things on the fourth floor, and she hadn't seen enough until Xia Junping and Lan Muxuan had finished talking. Fortunately, he will come in three days, and Xia Jinse is not in a hurry, so he will enjoy it slowly next time.

Before leaving, Lan Muxuan gave her a small gift.

It's not worth much, but it's interesting, it's a set of shadow puppets that tells the poignant love story of a scholar and a daughter. There are many characters in this set of shadow puppets, and Lan Muxuan originally wanted to send her a few artists who manipulated shadow puppetry, Xia Jinse thought about it.

Anyway, there are so many people in Begonia Garden, wouldn't it be more fun to play by yourself?

"Okay, if the eldest lady doesn't know anything, it's only a sound to send someone over, and I'll send an artist over." Lan Muxuan said with a smile.

Xia Jinse heard that he also opened a restaurant, specializing in books and singing operas for the entertainment of guests, and consumption is naturally free. She remembered the familiar stories of her previous life, if she had the opportunity to cooperate with Lan Muxuan, she might be able to make some money.

On the way back, Xia Junping's words were really more, as if the whole person was completely new.

Although I don't know what he talked about with Lan Muxuan, it is quite good to see the effect. Xia Jinse plans to accompany his brother to Baizhen Building when he has time, and it is good for him to make more friends.

arrived home after a while, but when Xia Jinse saw it, there were a few people standing at the door.

Xia Yulan took two girls and seemed to be waiting for Xia Jinse, and when she saw her come back, her eyes lit up and greeted her: "Big sister, are you back?" I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
