Chapter 111: Visiting the Silver Building
Before the New Year, Lei Biao and Lin Xia were ready to go to the street to buy New Year's goods, although Lao Zhou and Zhang Cai bought a lot of cars at home, but there were some things, Lin Xia still wanted to buy them himself.
Originally, I wanted to bring Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er, but this capital is the north, the cold wind is bleak, Lin Xia was worried that the two little guys had a cold, and the house was covered with floor heating and the earth fire dragon was very warm, so he still put it at home and watched by Agarwood and Shiso, and took Dong Ling and the maid to go out to buy New Year's goods.
Because it is close to the New Year, the capital is even more lively, and the streets are full of people, and the carriage is not convenient to drive at all. Helpless, Lei Biao and Lin Xia had to walk with their subordinates, and the two attendants opened the way, Lei Biao held Lin Xia, and Lei Zhong protected Lin Xia on the other side, so as not to Lin Xia to be squeezed by the crowd, as for Dong Ling and the maid, they followed closely behind them, so as not to get lost.
Lin Xia was protected in the middle, almost all the weight of his body was pressed on Lei Biao, there was no way, there were too many people, even if he was protected, there was not much space. Lin Xia began to regret the idea of coming out to purchase New Year's goods, and sure enough, he should still tease Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er at home, and look at the account book to study the new dishes.
It wasn't until the fork of the cross that this person began to be less, and Lin Xia was finally able to breathe, so many people, and Chinese travel on holidays. At that time, I also went out to join in the excitement in Yaohai City, and there were many people, but it was not as exaggerated as the capital, which made Lin Xia finally see what it meant to be 'a car like a flowing water and a horse like a dragon'.
First went to Jingshui Xuan, which is the largest silver building in the capital, and many official wives have come back here to buy their favorite jewelry.
When Lin Xia went to inspect the restaurant before, he would go to Buzhuang and Jingshuixuan to see if there were any good-looking jewelry clothes, women, and that was the hobby. So when he came to this Jingshui Xuan, Lin Xia went directly to the third floor with a familiar car.
Many things in this capital are divided into three, six, five and so on, for example, this Jingshui Xuan, the first floor is sold to ordinary people's jewelry, the workmanship is relatively rough and simple, and the price is also cheap; the second floor is sold to some people who have some money, and it is also located on West Street; And this third layer is mainly the reception of official wives, powerful people and wealthy merchants, all of whom are precious things.
When Lin Xia came for the first time, she was invited to the second floor, but after looking around, she was not very satisfied, and she was about to leave, but the guy invited her to the third floor ruthlessly, this invitation was terrible, Lin Xia spent thousands of dollars to buy three sets of jewelry, and the guy was so smiling that he didn't even have eyes, but fortunately he gambled.
Today's third floor is also a little lively, not as calm as usual, several official wives are choosing jewelry, and a few adults who come with their wives are accompanying them.
Lin Xia was only wearing a jade snow warm robe, which attracted the attention of many official wives.
This jade snow warm robe is not a thing in the capital, but there is a jade snow mountain outside the plug, the perennial ice and snow world, there are snow foxes on the jade snow mountain, the whole body is white like snow, and the fur is faint golden light between actions. And this jade snow warm robe is long and covers the top of the feet, the whole piece is sewn with snow fox, the snow fox is not very difficult to catch, you can imagine how much effort it took to make this jade snow warm robe, and this warm robe is very warm, no matter how cold the weather is, you only need to wear this jade snow warm robe will be extremely warm.
It is said that this jade snow warm robe was once sent to the emperor of the Wu Dynasty by the king of Saiwai, and then the emperor rewarded the current queen, many official wives have seen the queen wear when they entered the palace to participate in the banquet some time ago, but it is a unique one in the whole Wu Dynasty.
Now it appears on a woman who is not famous, and it is inevitable that she will not be attracted to attention. Some people speculated in their hearts whether this was a fake jade snow warm robe, but Lin Xia's warm robe glowed with a faint golden light when he walked, except for the snow fox, there really was no animal like this.
Lin Xia was not affected by everyone's attention at all, and chose by himself.
In fact, the jade snow warm robe on her body is genuine, it is said that the snow fox in the jade snow mountain outside the plug is rampant, because the snow fox is elusive and cunning, and few people will go to the special arrest, so it also leads to the snow fox breeding more and more, in order to control the number of snow foxes, the people outside the plug began to arrest the operation. In the end, two jade snow warm robes were made, one of which was offered to the queen outside the plug, and the other was an auction item.
After Lin Xia learned from Tsering Nyimana, he directly asked him to go to Saiwai to help with the auction, won it with 33,000 taels of silver, and gave Tsering Nyima 100 taels of labor fees, which had just been transported to the capital from Yaohai City some time ago.
It's hard to buy a favorite, and Lin Xia's 33,000 taels of silver is worth the money.
Under the eyes of everyone, Lin Xia picked a jade plaque for her husband, the surface was as shiny as porcelain, not transparent, and there was Cuisi in it carefully; I also picked a pair of gold-inlaid jade longevity locks for Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er, and the objects they bought were more than four or five thousand taels, and they didn't even look at the price, they only looked at what they liked.
Seeing these two people's extraordinary shots, many people were wondering why they hadn't heard of such a person in the capital.
Lin Xia suddenly saw a jade bracelet on a tray, the jade bracelet had a shining treasure light, and there were nine colors in it, which were red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, and black. The water head is full, the texture is bright, it is not ordinary when it looks like, and the price is also scary, it is just a jade bracelet, the price is 66,600 taels, called the Jiucai Zun Jade Bracelet.
Lin Xia stretched out his hand and touched the jade bracelet, it was actually warm jade, and then took a closer look, the color in the jade bracelet was faintly flowing like water, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and when he wanted to buy it, suddenly an abrupt voice sounded.
"Heh, it's really a narrow road, Lin Xia'er."
Lin Xia followed the voice and looked, but it was the Zhao family who he hadn't seen for many years, and there was a Lin Chengzong next to him, the two couples were dressed brightly, wearing gold and silver, and they were a pair of nouveau riche.
I heard Lin Chengzu say before that the two couples returned to Zhao's maiden house to open a shop, and they are going back to the capital for the New Year this year, but it seems that today's business of the husband and wife's shop is good.
Lin Xia only smiled faintly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Mrs. Lin." ”
When he saw the nine-colored jade bracelet in Lin Xia's hand, Zhao glanced at the price tag and said mockingly: "Can you afford to buy this nine-colored jade bracelet, after all, you just open a few small restaurants, but don't buy this bracelet and use it for a year's income." "The Zhao family didn't know the size of Yalinju, and thought that Yalinju was just a Yalinju in Qinghou County, so they didn't care about it at all.
Today's Zhao family has already had the right to speak about money, and with money, it is natural to speak and do things.
Hearing that it is Yalinju, some official wives can't help frowning, they have already heard that a strange restaurant has been built in the capital, two restaurants stand on the other side of the river, a wooden bridge is suspended in the middle, and the two restaurants can be passed through each other, and this strange restaurant is from Yalinju.
In the face of Zhao's arrogance, Lin Xia was calm as usual, and only gently put the nine-colored jade bracelet in his hand in the man's tray, "Be careful, I am very happy with this jade bracelet." ”
The Zhao family obviously didn't expect Lin Xia to really buy it, she was pressed by the old woman of the Du family from before, and she didn't have any money in her hand, Lin Xia opened Yalin Ju since she got married, and her life is getting better and better day by day, and now she Zhao is also out of the way, how can she still be pressed by this Lin Xia again.
Then he said directly, "Man, I bought the nine-colored jade bracelet, and you have a price tag of 66,600 taels, and you have to find more trouble, I will pay 70,000 taels." ”
Lin Chengzong beside him didn't react at all, with his current net worth, 70,000 taels is indeed not much.
"What, Mrs. Lin, is this trying to take advantage of others?" Lin Xia frowned slightly, a little surprised that these two couples actually took out so much silver.
"The one with the highest price wins." Zhao replied.
Seeing this, the steward hurriedly stepped forward and said warmly, "Two ladies, this is the New Year, let's make money in harmony, this nine-colored jade bracelet was first favored by Mrs. Lei, so ......"
Hearing this, the Zhao family was immediately upset, "What, don't you Jingshuixuan make money?" ”
"When did Jingshuixuan put everyone up, doesn't this Jingshuixuan want to do it in the capital?" The steady and majestic voice sounded, and she was a graceful and luxurious lady following the prestige, dressed in a dark red dress, embroidered with silver silk lotus flowers on the cuffs, and a few auspicious clouds outlined by the silver thread on the skirt, which was very steady, and there was a bit of sharpness between the eyebrows and eyes.
Seeing this, everyone saluted, "Mrs. Zhenguo." ”
Mrs. Zhenguo glanced at Lei Biao, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes, and she immediately disappeared, and greeted: "You don't have to be polite. ”
Lin Xia was quite surprised, he didn't expect to meet Lei Li's wife in Jingshui Xuan, and he still appeared in such a way.
I saw Mrs. Zhenguo glance at the Zhao family lightly, the first time the Zhao family saw the imperial relatives, they were stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do, and Mrs. Zhenguo only said to the steward, "In the future, Jingshuixuan doesn't want everyone to come to the third floor, which disturbs our mood of shopping." ”
The steward said yes again and again, and hurriedly walked to the side of Zhao and Lin Chengzong and made a gesture of please, "Please move to the second floor or the first floor." ”
The Zhao family was unhappy, why did they just invite them down, but they didn't invite Lei Biao and Lin Xia to go down, but because of the existence of Mrs. Zhenguo, they didn't dare to offend, so they had to hold back their anger and follow the guy downstairs.
Everyone was very surprised to see that Mrs. Zhenguo actually looked at the proprietress of Yalinju, and wondered if they had something to do with each other. But then Mrs. Zhenguo didn't react at all, as if she had never seen them before, and began to walk around on her own, but many of the wives of the official family hurriedly stepped forward to chat.
Lei Biao and Lin Xia glanced at each other, knowing that Mrs. Zhenguo was in order to protect Lei Biao's identity from being revealed, so she only walked around and bought some jewelry and went downstairs to settle the bill.
The shopkeeper of Jingshui Xuan saw that the two of them bought a lot, and they specially discounted it, but it also cost nearly 80,000 taels of silver, and Lin Xia still inevitably felt a little painful and guilty when he paid, because the most expensive nine-colored jade bracelet cost a year's profit from the leisurely Accord, and he really had to chop his hands.
didn't expect Lei Biao to say, "If Mrs. likes it, no matter how expensive it is, she is willing to be a husband." ”
Immediately, Lin Xia didn't feel guilty.
