Chapter 43: The Palace Wall is Forbidden and the Power is Taken (3)
Although he knew that it was just a scene, Yu Zijin's heart still trembled.
Fang Xing went to the private room and sat down, and the man who led the way closed the door and retreated. The mahogany carved window is half-open, the fragrance of tea is curling, the bead curtain is slightly shaking, the two are silent, and there seems to be a trace of embarrassment in the air.
Lin Xiao raised his hand leisurely, poured tea with a cup, took a sip, and immediately frowned. Slowly put down the jade cup, and the slender fingers lightly buckled the table one by one, looking quite idle.
"That, actually, you didn't have to ...... just now" Yu Zijin broke the silence with his words. No matter what Lin Xiao's purpose was, perhaps due to his unexpected appearance, the scene changed.
But according to common sense, the first solution at this time should be to find a way to take her away from here and let the plan continue, but instead of doing this, Lin Xiao did the opposite, and directly pulled her here.
Today's drama is not like following the original script, lying that the two are husband and wife, which is not a superfluous move.
"Since I promised to take you to buy jewelry, I won't break my promise. If others have it, naturally you can't be missing. Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Xiao. The corners of his lips hooked slightly, and as he spoke, he glanced at the small slit in the doorway. After speaking, he slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at her with a smile on his face.
After receiving Lin Xiao's hint, Yu Zijin quietly looked towards the small door, only to see that a person's figure could be seen from the crack in the door, as if he was hunched over, and only a small protrusion could be seen from the pane.
Yu Zijin was shocked when he saw this, turned around, tilted his head, and looked dazed. Although I don't know who the person who is secretly spying on is who, now that the scene has kicked off and the audience has been "in place", I can only continue to play hard.
Squeak –
The proprietress twisted her body, holding two delicate wooden boxes that had been locked, and pulled her signature smirk as she pushed the door in.
"Childe, madam, these are the treasures of our broken jade shop, you can see if you like anything, you can wear it and try it." The proprietress raised her voice and said with a sneer, "Madame was born so captivating to the country and the city, I think it must be that every one looks good with it." ”
After that, he took out a small set of keys from his bosom and opened the box in front of the two of them. Jade, jade, gold and silver agate, everything, as the proprietress said, is indeed exquisite.
Seeing Lin Xiao stretching out his hand to fiddle with the jewelry in the box, Yu Zijin also pretended to be selective, followed Lin Xiao's example, took out a pair of blood-colored jade bracelets in the box, turned around to look at it, and put it on his hand again.
The fair-skinned wrist, under the blood-red bracelet, looks more delicate. Even the proprietress who was watching from the sidelines couldn't help but praise: "Madame is naturally beautiful, dressed in plain clothes, but now against the backdrop of this blood bracelet, it looks even more extravagant." ”
"It's really pretty." Lin Xiao raised her eyes and looked up and down, although she was smiling, there was a coldness in her voice, "But the proprietress doesn't look down on us husband and wife, and wants to prevaricate us with these medium-sized jewelry." ”
"How do you say this, you can do business sincerely, and the treasures you take are all carefully crafted. Moreover, the son is naturally noble, and it is too late for us to envy ourselves, so why not say it. ”
The proprietress is not afraid of the field, although there is some cold infiltration, but after all, it is also the owner of a shop, has seen the wind and waves, and has a small reputation in the capital, many families often come to patronize, and have confidence in the heart.
The words are ingenious, and while proving himself with a childlike appearance, he does not forget to lower his posture and pat a few sycophants.
"This bracelet is delicate at first glance, but if you look closely, the blood is not evenly colored. Look, there are still a few traces of variegated color on the bracelet. Lin Xiao took the other bracelet, lifted it gently, and put it in the light to look at it carefully.
Hearing this, Yu Zijin took off the bracelet on his wrist and looked at it, but he didn't see that there was as Lin Xiao said, the color was mixed, but the blood color was a little gradual, but it also had a lot of charm, not to say that it was uneven, it was really a good thing.
When he leaned over to look at the one in Lin Xiao's hand, he found that there were a few traces of variegated color on the bracelet, and there were clearly two small cracks, and what Lin Xiao said was a little euphemistic.
raised his eyes and met Lin Xiao's eyes with a smile, and his heart was clear. The variegated color can only be carried by the jade bracelet itself, and this bracelet is indeed of the highest grade, and there is no way to find a mistake. But if it is a crack, with Lin Xiao's deep internal strength, it will be difficult to make a secret mess, and it will be difficult not to crack.
"Eh, there really is." Yu Zijin made an exclamation look, and put the bracelet in his hand back into the box as if disgusted, and his tone was disgusted, "How can the proprietress be like this, she actually took out such damaged goods as the treasure of the town store and bought them, she didn't bully us." ”
"Where are the two nobles, it must be the subordinate in charge of the goods who bumped into it, I'm really sorry that I stained your eyes with this kind of goods." The proprietress was slightly startled, and when Lin Xiao spoke, she also took a closer look.
Not to mention two small cracks, in the eyes of these dignitaries, even a little variegation can't stand it. It's just that the subordinate who doesn't know the severity of the matter has done a mess, and he instantly lowered his posture, "You might as well take a look at something else, this plum blossom bamboo jasper hairpin is also excellent, the only one in the world." ”
"Needless to say, I thought this broken jade was a big family, and I didn't want to start a business but I didn't have a way." Lin Xiao looked annoyed, unmoved by the apology of the proprietress and got up suddenly, took Yu Zijin's hand, and strode out of the Accord.
"Childe, it's really a misunderstanding, this blood-colored jade bracelet ......" The proprietress hurriedly hurried over, the most popular among the famous families to talk about jewelry, if you offend one today, it will cut off the business of several families.
Broken Yuzhai is a big deal, if you lose the source of the sale, I don't know how much you will lose. Moreover, if you let the people above know, you are afraid that you will not be able to eat and walk around.
The proprietress who was chasing after the two of them at a rapid pace, but she didn't expect them to stop suddenly, so she paused for a moment, and almost hit the celadon bottle on the side.
And the reason why Lin Xiao stopped was because he saw the four butterflies in the hands of another guy. seemed to be attracted by its workmanship, and suddenly forgot about Fang Cai's displeasure, and was in a good mood, and immediately stopped the guy who served the plate.
Leisurely raised his hand to pick up the four butterflies on the plate, looked left and right, and nodded with a smile, "This is good, my son wants it!" ”
"Childe, I'm sorry, these four butterfly steps have been set by the lady of the No. 1 private room, look, do you want to take a look at something else?" Hearing this, the young man's expression began to be a little flustered, and he hurriedly bowed over and apologized to Lin Xiao.
I saw that Lin Xiao didn't pay attention to the young man's embarrassment at all, but turned her head to look at Yu Zijin on the side, and gently inserted the step shake into her hair, her eyes softened, "Well, it's good-looking." ”
"In addition to these four butterfly steps, the blood-colored jade bracelet of Broken Yuzhai is also excellent, a few years ago, Broken Jade Zhai was fortunate to get a piece of blood jade, and it will be made into a pair of jade bracelets, which is rare in the world." Seeing that the two did not react, the young man was even more anxious, and saw that the proprietress was holding a blood bracelet in her hand, trying to divert the attention of the two.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao finally turned to face the young man, with coldness in his eyes, "You said that pair of broken bracelets?" ”
The young man was so excited that he didn't dare to say a word, and looked at the proprietress for help, but saw that she also had a sad face, and he didn't know how to look good, and his face was like ashes.
The proprietress glanced at the young man hatefully, hating that iron is not steel. The two of them were already unhappy because of the crack on the blood bracelet, but he happened to catch this point, and he insisted on hitting the target. It's okay now, the lion hair that has just been smoothed has exploded again.
But after seeing the young man's uneasy look, he was shocked for a moment. Today happened to be the first day of the new year, and the people above were going to inspect the goods, and there were several silver hairpins of different sizes on the plate that the young man was holding...... The secret passage is not good.
And Lin Xiao had already taken the step shake away, looking like he was not going to return. At this time, it seems that offending the powerful is small, and if you annoy the people above, it will be a big deal for your head to move.
After weighing the pros and cons, the proprietress said with a smile: "Childe has a good eye, this is a new product of this store, if Childe likes it, I will wrap it for you in the next." ”
"No need, just check out." Putting away the tenderness towards Yu Zijin, Lin Xiao's voice was cold. If you hand the step back to the boss's wife, maybe what will end up in your hands will be a change of core.
"How can this be done, the things taken out of the storehouse are somewhat stained with dust. If Mrs. is allowed to wear this dusty step and shake it out, won't this break our signboard of broken jade zhai. I hope that the son will understand. After speaking, the proprietress raised her hand to take off the four butterflies between Yu Zijin's hair.
I didn't want to, Lin Xiao stopped her waist to avoid it, and the movements of the proprietress did not decrease, and she lost her center of gravity in an instant, and fell straight in the direction of the young man. And the young man was also panicked, holding a plate full of silver ornaments in his hands, and there was a boss lady in front of him who was about to fall. For a while, the silver jewelry was not protected, nor was the proprietress who was helped, and the entanglement was pounced, and the ornaments on the plate were scattered all over the place.
Seeing this, Yu Zijin couldn't help but let out a low sigh, leaned back, and fell into Lin Xiao's arms. When I looked up, I was greeted by the delicate face that was greatly enlarged.
"The proprietress is too unsteady to walk, although a fall is nothing, but if she breaks these silver jewelry, I'm afraid she will have to peel off her skin." The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth hooked slightly, and he looked contemptuously at the two people who lowered their heads and hurriedly picked up the silver jewelry fragments scattered on the ground, not caring about their embarrassed image.
After speaking, he stabilized Yu Zijin, squatted down slightly, picked up a silver hairpin that rolled down at his feet, and suddenly let out a "huh".
"What's wrong?" Yu Zijin leaned over and saw that the silver hairpin seemed to have taken off a layer of skin, revealing a few traces of black, "Strange, why did this silver hairpin turn black when it hit it?" ”
After speaking, he raised his hand and stroked the black part of the hairpin, but saw that the "sterling silver" on the side fell off in an instant. Drawing down the falling opening, a silver hairpin that seemed to be of excellent quality instantly turned into a dull black hairpin.
Yu Zijin was shocked, "This hairpin is fake!" ”
