Chapter 356: Rival in Love
Jia Min looked at the young woman in front of her who couldn't hide her beauty with a light veil, and always felt that those eyes had a sense of déjà vu. Xian Shu didn't expect to meet Jia Min again in Qiwu Zhai, but she still faced it head-on, which made her stunned for a while. Jia Min looked up at Xianshu with a smile on her face, and didn't care about her faux pas.
Seeing the situation, the shopkeeper Lin of Qiwu Zhai hurriedly stepped forward and said to Xianshu with a smile: "Miss Xianshu, is this leaving?" But have you chosen something you like? ”
Only then did Xian Shu come back to her senses and said softly: "Thank you Lin for the shopkeeper!" The concubine has already chosen a gift that suits her heart, and she is about to leave! ”
"Oh! Then please wait for Miss Xianshu, this is the county lord of Huigui, wait for the villain to send the county lord of Huigui upstairs and then come to send the girl Xianshu away! ”
Xian Shu was not the person who was born in the countryside and did not know etiquette, of course she understood that she was rude in front of Jia Min just now. But hearing such a hint that Shopkeeper Lin was almost a slap in the face, even though he had already appointed his identity, he still felt embarrassed, and the jealousy of Jia Min in his heart inexplicably increased.
No matter how reluctant Xianshu was, she knew that this was not the time for her to be arrogant and rude, so she walked to the corner of the stairs and knelt down to salute Jia Min.
"The concubine has seen the lady of Huigui County! Say hello to my mother! ”
When Jia Min heard Shopkeeper Lin call out the woman's name, he remembered who she was. In the last life, this Xianshu and another thin horse were given to Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai was isolated and helpless in Jiangnan at that time, and he was struggling to move forward, knowing that these two skinny horses were sent by others to make nails, so he could only reluctantly accept them, and raised them with good food and drink. It was this thin horse named Xianshu who successfully attracted Lin Ruhai's attention, at first he just pitied her miserable background, but later he actually had some respect for this arrogant and stubborn woman. At that time, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai had a lot of misunderstandings and unhappiness because of several concubines in the family, Lin Ruhai was upset and let Xianshu take the opportunity to climb into bed, and also got a little favor from Lin Ruhai, because she had tripped over Jia Min. If it hadn't been found out later that Xianshu had a direct relationship with the death of his youngest son, I am afraid that Lin Ruhai's heart would have been hooked by this Xianshu!
Jia Min lowered his eyelids, swept away the hatred in his eyes, and tried to calm the huge waves in his heart. After a long while, Jia Min raised his eyes and glanced at Xianshu, and that glance was not emotional, as if he was looking at something inconsequential.
"Shopkeeper Lin, I don't have much time, let's go upstairs quickly!" Saying that, Jia Min walked up the stairs slowly, and when she passed by Xianshu, Jia Min didn't even give her a look and walked straight over.
Jia Min didn't scream, Xianshu could only kneel there, not even daring to raise her head. Looking at the pair of embroidered shoes with clouds and auspicious peonies passing in front of her eyes, Xian Shu clenched her fists and bit her lip stubbornly, only in this way can she keep herself awake and not do anything terrible impulsively.
Jia Min's good mood today was all ruined by that fairy shu! That woman had a hatred for her husband and child, and she would never forget it no matter what. Originally, she still thought that after returning to Yangzhou from the capital, she would ask Qi Lan to check on this Xianshu, but she didn't expect to meet her in Qiwuzhai.
Mo Lan has been following Jia Min for nearly ten years, and she still knows Jia Min very well, she feels that since she met the woman named Xianshu, Jia Min's face has obviously become much uglier, and she doesn't seem to care, but she can see Jia Min's strong hatred for Xianshu.
"Ma'am! Are you alright? But is there any discomfort there? Otherwise, let's go back to the house first! ”
"No, you don't! I'm fine! Shopkeeper Lin, do we have any good oil diamond jewelry, preferably a complete set. Jia Min said the last sentence to Shopkeeper Lin.
Shopkeeper Lin bowed down and said: "Back to your county lord, we currently only have one set of oil diamond jewelry, which was originally ordered by someone else, but it was returned if there was a temporary situation, or the villain will take it to your county lord to see if it may fall into your eyes?" ”
"Hmmm! Go and go back quickly, I have to rush back to lunch with my family! ”
"Yes! The villain is going to get it! After finishing speaking, Shopkeeper Lin respectfully bowed and withdrew from the private room where Jia Min was.
Jia Min drank the red date tea served by the guy with a solemn face, and the four of them looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything.
About a tea time later, the shopkeeper Lin came to this private room again, holding a box of rosewood gold on a tray in his hand.
Jia Min didn't say anything, and directly took the box and opened it to see. Inside the box is a complete set of oil diamond jewelry, including a pigeon-egg-sized ruby with some diamonds to make a plum hairpin, a thumb-cap-sized ruby with some diamonds to form a necklace, and two soybean-sized ones to make a pair of studs. This set of jewelry is not as exquisite and luxurious as the one Lin Ruhai specially created for Jia Min, but it is better in terms of novel shape and fine workmanship.
Jia Min nodded with satisfaction and said to Shopkeeper Lin: "I want this set of jewelry, Wei Zi, give silver!" ”
"No, no, no! Your county lord, how dare the villain accept your money! "Shopkeeper Lin shouted in his heart, don't harm the slave, if you let the master know that his master mother came to the shop, and he dared to collect money when he took a fancy to something, the master would definitely not spare him, he didn't want to be punished by the master at such an old age!
Jia Min looked at the shopkeeper Lin in shock, and felt very funny for no reason, she didn't want to embarrass the shopkeeper Lin, but she couldn't just take things and leave, Lin Ruhai still didn't want people to know his relationship with Qiwuzhai, Jia Min couldn't expose anything because of this.
"That's it! Look, I'm scared of you! No matter how high my status is, there is no reason not to buy things and not give money! Just take the money, and I'll keep it so that no one will trouble you!" ”
Shopkeeper Lin also understood the reason why Jia Min did this, and he revered this housewife even more in his heart. It turned out that he always heard others say how good his housewife was, but today, Jia Min's practice of putting the interests of the Lin family first made him really see what is the demeanor of everyone's housewife.
Jia Min gave Wei Zi a look, Wei Zi smiled and asked for the price, took out the full amount of silver tickets from his purse and handed them to Shopkeeper Lin.
Shopkeeper Lin took the silver ticket with both hands and gave Jia Min a salute, the meaning of which was only clear to the two of them.
Jia Min asked Xiaoshu to pick up the red sandalwood gold box containing jewelry, got up and left the strange things house. Shopkeeper Lin watched Jia Min's carriage go away, glanced at the silver ticket in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
