Chapter 51: Red Plum Hairpin
There were still some days before the desert went to the moon, and the little koi fish first worried about other things. She did plan to do the business of moon sand stone, but not to sell rough stones, but to make more profitable finished jewelry.
So these days, she has been hanging out in the night market and several jewelry shops with different positions in Luo Qifang.
Since Xia Caiyi knew from Yu Yunhe that she was really on the line with Ren Fangyuan, she was not at ease, and she ran around with her in person, and tried to persuade her to break up with Ren Fangyuan as soon as possible.
At that time, the little koi looked at her with big ignorant and innocent eyes and asked, "Why?" ”
Xia Caiyi frowned, "He can't even see through the depths of his person, you can't do business with him and you won't be pitted?" ”
The little koi took her hand and shook it, her posture was very flattering, but the words she said were quite heart-wrenching, "When I wanted to make friends with you, Cuiliu also persuaded me to do the same." ”
Xia Caiyi: "......"
Okay, when she's older, her wings are stiff, can't she take care of this bear child!
The little koi smiled at her obediently and coincidentally, and pulled her into a jewelry store in the night market. The little koi had been to Geng Yu a few times, so he beckoned to the boss and asked him to bring out a few more complicated and expensive jewelry.
The boss also remembered that she was the wife of the little general, and she went to the inner room very happily to find a few beautiful hairpins. One of them is made in the shape of a bouquet of red plums, the petals of which are carved from red translucent gemstones and embedded in a gold base, which shines in the sun.
The little koi's eyes lit up. Xia Caiyi helped her a lot, and she had long wanted to give Xia Caiyi some gifts. She picked up the hairpin and gestured to Xia Cai's head, "It's beautiful." ”
"It's really pretty." Xia Caiyi helped the hairpin that was inserted in his hair by the little koi, "You want to buy it for me?" Looking at the cute little girl in front of Xue Yu and nodding her head like a chicken pecking rice, she snorted, "If you still want to mess around with that casino owner, don't say that you don't have to send hairpins, you don't want to make this friend of mine, right?" ”
As she spoke, she pulled out the red plum in her hair and put it back on the table, turning around to leave.
"Yiyi ......" The little koi held Xia Caiyi's arm and smiled apologetically at the owner of the jewelry store, then dragged her aside and explained, "The casino owner knows about me...... He knows something about me, and he won't hurt me. The little koi looked at Xia Caiyi, thought about it and changed his words, "I won't let him pit me, I can protect myself." ”
Xia Caiyi looked at her for a long time, and finally sighed in compromise in her clear eyes, "You are my friend who took the initiative to make friends, and I can't rest assured of you." ”
The little koi blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Xia Caiyi, "Do you still want the hairpin?" ”
"Why not?" Xia Caiyi rolled her eyes, "Hmph, you took the initiative to send it to me, don't be in vain." ”
The little koi didn't care about her awkward words, and pulled her back to get the hairpin with a smile. She stretched out her hand, only to meet the slender hand of another hand reaching for the hairpin.
The little koi looked over and was surprised to find that it was actually someone he knew.
“…… Do you also like this hairpin? Mu Peipei was dressed in a goose-yellow dress, which coincided with the glimpse of the little koi in the carriage outside the city gate. If you look closely, you can see that she has lost a lot of weight than she was then, and she is no longer bright and cheerful as she was at the beginning, but has a little more charm of weak willow support.
Mu Peipei chased Geng Yu for five years, and she was so upright that the whole city knew it, but later Geng Yu married a Jin Li girl who appeared out of nowhere. Although everyone doesn't say it, there is still a little pity for Mu Peipei in their hearts.
When Geng Yu got married, it is said that only Mu Peipei's family went to send a congratulatory gift and drank a glass of wine, and now it is rare to meet Mu Peipei and the new Mrs. Geng in one place, and at this time they also fell in love with the same hairpin, and the guys in the store were quietly watching the excitement here, wondering how this thing would develop.
After Mu Peipei asked, seeing that the little koi nodded, she simply withdrew her hand and smiled lightly, "Mrs. Geng just came out of the store, I think she came earlier than me, the boss should have given this hairpin to you and this girl first." Since you've taken a fancy to it, it should be yours on a first-come, first-served basis. ”
After saying that, she bowed and turned to look at other jewelry.
"This Mu Peipei ......" Xia Caiyi stood behind the little koi, thoughtful, "I have also heard those soldiers talk about her chasing Geng Yu in the barracks, and when I see it today, in addition to daring to love and hate, she is quite a bit of a right and wrong...... I kind of like her. ”
If this Mu girl who dares to love and hate and distinguish between right and wrong didn't cause her to fall into the water and be nagged by so many people in turn, then she would like this Mu girl more. The little koi muttered silently in his heart, and then looked at the boss on the side, "How much is this hairpin?" ”
The boss glanced at Mu Peipei who walked to the side with some regret, and it seemed a pity that the two gossip protagonists couldn't make a big fuss. Then he routinely touted his hairpin, "My hairpin is made of real gold, and the petals are made of Xijon's special rubies...... "After a dazzling description, the boss quoted, "...... So the price is also more expensive, one or two silver. ”
Little Koi: "?? ”
A tael of silver? The nearly two thousand taels of silver she earned in the casino were enough for an army of the size of the Iron Cavalry to spend for a year, and now this hairpin is sold for one or two silver? The little koi frowned slightly, and for a while she didn't know whether to lament the high cost of jewelry or suspect that the boss was trying to cheat her money.
Although Xia Caiyi knows a lot, she is obviously not an expert in this gemstone jewelry, she took the hairpin and looked at it for a long time, in addition to making sure that this hairpin is not as delicate and beautiful as the one she used when she was the princess of Yuheng, and for a while she couldn't tell whether it was worth the two silvers.
She weighed the red plum hairpin twice, and bargained at will, "Boss, your hairpin is more expensive, right?" ”
"Where is the girl," said the owner of the jewelry store, "look at the color of the gemstone material used in this hairpin, and this chic shape, including our shop teacher."
Fu's manual fee...... I didn't make any money selling you for a tael. ”
Xia Caiyi played with the hairpin and looked at the boss with a smile, "Oh? yes, you don't make any money. ”
The shopkeeper nodded without changing his face, "No, if it weren't for Mrs. Geng's frequent customer of our store, I wouldn't have given you such an honest price." ”
Mu Peipei was originally picking other jewelry items at random on the side, but she subconsciously frowned when she heard the boss's offer. She held a hairpin with a long tassel between her fingers for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back when the boss said that her offer was sincere, and gently put the hairpin in her hand on the table, and said, "This is the little general's wife, boss, you can think clearly, is she a guest who can let you close your eyes and deceive?" ”
The corner of the jewelry store owner's eyebrows jumped, "...... What does this mean, Miss Mu? ”
Mu Peipei walked up to the two of them and took the hairpin in the little koi's hand, "This ruby may have been worth a little silver in the past, but now that the desert has been shaken out in the past month, this kind of ruby has long been in oversupply on the market...... Besides, whether this hairpin is pure gold or gold-plated, and how much is the labor fee worth, do you really have no points in your heart? ”
