Chapter 65: Gemstone Collar

Leaving Fan Xilou, Yu Wenye pursed the corners of his mouth and walked in front without saying a word, and the girl in red followed behind him.

"Brother Ye, why do you dislike Shu Jing'er so much?" Bai Muguan suddenly gathered beside him and couldn't help but ask.

She doesn't have much affection for Shu Jing'er, but it's the girl she saved, and it's fate to meet again.

Yu Wenye said in a deep voice: "Brother Xuan treats her quite sincerely, not like in the past just for fun, but her purpose for Brother Xuan is not pure. ”

If Shu Jing'er is a woman from a good family, she will definitely not follow King Xu into Beijing without a name or point, let alone live in King Xu's mansion in a grand manner. If she really loves each other, she should know her identity as a concubine and not embarrass King Xu. Her current behavior can be imagined to be glorious and wealthy.

Bai Muguan paused and asked rhetorically: "Do you care a lot about whether a woman's affection for a man is mixed with others?" ”

He despises Shu Jing'er's selfishness, will he disdain her in the future? After all, she has also weighed the pros and cons of their feelings and thought twice.

"I care." Yu Wenye also stopped his steps and stared at her seriously.

He was six or seven years older than her, and he could vaguely see through her thoughts at the moment. If there was another man, he would definitely coax her with flattering words, but he Yu Wenye wouldn't, he just wanted to put the most sincere heart in his chest in front of her.

Bai Muguan nodded and lowered her eyebrows, the gloom in her eyes was clear to him.

Yu Wenye smiled to himself, pulled up her little hand and held it in the palm of his hand, his warm palm covered her cool hand, and his voice was heard in his ears: "Guanguan, I won't doubt your affection for me." Just like I treat you. ”

"Really?" The girl's eyes suddenly lit up.

He was cautious and said slowly, "Fake." ”

Bai Muguan deliberately took a sip: "It's not serious, you're so bad!" ”

The two of them joked a few words, and soon talked about another thing.

"Since my cousin was sent home that night, when I heard that my uncle had confined her to the room, my aunt's condition has become worse and worse, and she has been restless these days." Since that night, Bai Muguan has not returned to the Bai family's mansion, and these news are still heard by Xiangyun.

Yu Wenye also knows about this matter, and admires his girlfriends like a feather, even a famous daughter like Miss Cai Er of Shangshu Mansion is difficult to enter his eyes, how can he care about Bai Mingnuan from Fuzhou? If she weren't Bai Muguan's cousin, he wouldn't have looked at her at all, and she would dare to be delusional.

Yu Wenye pulled the corners of his mouth casually, and his words were cold: "Her father and mother don't know how to teach her, and she doesn't know how thick the sky is when she lets her out, and she deserves to be punished and grounded in the boudoir." ”

Knowing his reaction, Bai Muguan still felt sweet in his heart, even if he couldn't be a couple for a lifetime, she was the only one in his eyes who was beautiful.

"Brother Ye, let's go to the treasure pavilion in front of us to take a look, if you have the right jewelry, you can't be stingy." She is like an ordinary girl, and at this time she also treats him as an ordinary man, coquettishly pestering him to buy jewelry. This is the friendship that Bai Muguan yearns for, his identity is secondary, he just spoils her lover.

After entering the Treasure Pavilion, today's business is not too lively and deserted, and the shopkeeper personally came to greet them. All kinds of jewelry are neatly arranged in the box, and the style is exquisite, and the color is dazzling.

Bai Muguan, who has seen the world, is not dazzled, but no matter how old or young women are, it is natural for women to love jewelry. Her gaze fell on the gold collar encrusted with rubies, and she couldn't take her eyes off it.

This red gold collar is exquisitely crafted and features a peacock motif in the center. The peacock's eye is a ruby the size of a grain of rice, so red that it weeps blood, and it shines more brightly than the gemstone of the bird's tail.

Yu Wenye saw that she liked it very much, so he said to the shopkeeper: "How many silver taels is this collar?" ”

"Five hundred taels." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, his face was embarrassed, and he had to swallow and say, "It's a pity that it has been bought by another lady." ”

Bai Muguan frowned slightly when he heard this: "How can the collar I bought still be here?" ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand and didn't want to say more, and explained casually: "This is a long story, in short, that young lady is extraordinary, and the little one really can't afford to offend." ”

Without waiting for her to regret giving up, she heard Yu Wenye laugh, and then raised her voice and said, "Since it's a long story, you can make a long story short." ”

Since ancient times, all the people who do business are smart people, they are good at observing words and feelings, and the shopkeeper can see that the men and women in front of him are not ordinary and not vulgar, if both sides are not easy to offend, he might as well be a "good person", anyway, he will not suffer a loss to which side he sells. After making up his mind, he approached Yu Wenye, lowered his voice and said, "It was the eldest lady of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion who paid the deposit, and the original agreement was to come and get the collar today." ”

It turned out to be sold to Yao Xilin!

"It's past noon, and Miss Yao hasn't sent someone to pick it up, I'm afraid she doesn't want it." Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows and asked lightly, "How much deposit did she pay you?" ”

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes, vaguely guessed his intentions, and hurriedly replied, "Two hundred taels of silver tickets." ”

"I'll give you another two hundred taels, and when she comes to you, you'll return it to her double. As for this gemstone collar, I will pay in cash, what do you think? With that, Yu Wenye took out a stack of seven silver tickets worth one hundred taels and handed them over.

Give an extra two hundred taels, it is really the lord who has a generous hand! The shopkeeper smiled happily, where would he be unwilling, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the silver ticket and hurriedly instructed the maid to pack the collar in a pear blossom wooden box.

The girl in red smiled gently and contentedly, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Brother Ye." ”

A collar of a few hundred taels is worth a lot, but it is nothing to them, and it is rare that he has this heart. This ruby collar would become one of her favorite pieces of jewelry.

Yu Wenye didn't care, seeing that she was satisfied, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. It was inconvenient to act affectionately in front of everyone, and he only reached out and patted her shoulder twice, and some words were not spoken.

Soon, Bai Muguan walked out happily with the collar in his hand, his eyes always staying on the box in his arms. Next to him, Yu Wenye looked ahead, and his eyes quickly met with the oncoming person.

It was a slender young woman with a pointed face and willow eyebrows, and a ruddy complexion, which showed that she didn't have to worry about food and clothing on weekdays. Although she is just using ordinary beads to make her hair in a bun, the smoky and emerald embroidered Meilan dress on her body is a good material. When walking, she twists her waist and holds her head high, and her posture and demeanor are not elegant and dignified, obviously she will not be a lady from a wealthy family. She can't be a woman from an ordinary family, so she can only be a big maid in the noble mansion.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper was quite enthusiastic when he saw her come in, and when he looked closely, he found that the smile on his face was a little reluctant: "Miss Hanzhu is here, it's really unfortunate, there is something I don't know how to speak." ”

Hanzhu coughed pretendedly, pinched his handkerchief and said, "I brought the silver ticket, where is the gem collar that Miss personally selected last time?" ”

Standing in front of him is just a maid who serves people, a fox and a fake tiger. If it weren't for some reason, he wouldn't be so groveling and smiling, thinking that the shopkeeper straightened his waist and said: "The collar that Miss Guifu likes has been bought, and here is the two hundred taels of deposit you paid last time, and all of them will be refunded." ”

Someone bought it?

Han Zhu was annoyed when she heard this, who dared to snatch the collar in his own young lady's photo? And this damn treasure cabinet shopkeeper, who is the most greedy for money and profits, actually goes back on his word and does not abide by integrity, and dares to sell jewelry after paying a deposit?

Han Zhu stretched her pretty face and scolded with a tiger face: "Who dares to compete for the collar that my young lady has a fancy for?" If you don't want to sell it, just make it clear, our Hou Mansion is not short of silver! ”

But everyone always has a little backbone, and was ridiculed by a maid, and the shopkeeper was not pleased, frowning and saying coldly: "The Hou Mansion is not short of silver taels, and I am not bullied here." Believe it or not, anyway, the collar just got bought. ”

"Then you tell me clearly, who bought it?" Hanzhu choked once, and then pressed him again.

"No comment!"
