Chapter 64: Flies
Chapter 64: Flies
Passing through the Xuanyuan Gate in the center of Xuanyuan City, Ning Chong and Tranquility have come to the area on North Street that mainly sells rouge gouache and gemstone jewelry.
This place is the place that women love to frequent, Ning Chong didn't want to set foot in it much, but he was pulled by Tranquility and ran wildly, helpless. Ning Chong had to smile bitterly: "Okay, okay, don't pull, I'll go with you...... Little girl, you're like a naughty monkey......"
"Hmph!" Ning Ning Bai wrinkled his little nose like Ning Chong, and said angrily, "Even if I am a monkey, I am also the most beautiful and cute monkey!
Without waiting for Ning Chong to answer, she continued to pull Ning Chong away with a smile, and after a while, she rushed into a gemstone jewelry store.
This jewelry store, called "Jinyu Mantang", is one of the most famous gemstone jewelry stores in Xuanyuan City, and sells gemstone jewelry that is beautifully made and one in a hundred - of course, the price is also very high.
Ning Chong followed Ning Jing into the "Golden Jade Hall", his eyes were suddenly full of jewels, exquisite and gorgeous, rich and compelling, he didn't come to such places very often, and he felt good at this time.
As soon as the shopkeeper in the store saw Ning Jing and Ning rushing in, he immediately stepped forward respectfully, and said with a smile on his face: "Oh, Miss Ning Jing is coming to our store again, it really makes our store shine! Miss Ning Jing and this son have invited, our store has a new batch of gemstone jewelry, which is absolutely the best in Xuanyuan City! Only the gems and jewelry in our store are worthy of Miss Ningning's beautiful face." ”
From these words, you can hear that Tranquility comes to this shop more often. And this shopkeeper is very good at talking, and with a few casual words, he praised people to the sky, and even this faceless little girl listened to it at this time, her face was slightly red, she bowed her head slightly, and showed a somewhat shy smile in front of Ning Chong for the first time.
Under the guidance and explanation of the shopkeeper, Ning Ning picked up a piece of jewelry with great interest and looked at it carefully, but Ning Chong just watched it casually, although he was no stranger to these jewels, he was not very interested.
After a while, Tranquility seemed to have fallen in love with an emerald green bracelet, she carefully picked up the bracelet with her green fingers, looked at the light, watched the refracted emerald green light, and then put it in the palm of her hand and stroked it gently, smiling on her face, she couldn't put it down.
"Miss Tranquility, you really have a vision!" the shopkeeper took the opportunity to explain, "This bracelet is carved from high-grade emerald jadeite, the whole body is well-proportioned, and the front of the bracelet is also inlaid with three precious yellow, red and blue demon pill gemstones. Needless to say, the craftsmanship is absolutely superior, and in addition, after wearing this bracelet, it also has the miraculous effect of calming the gods!"
The shopkeeper said with drooling, but Ning Chong smiled slightly, stepped forward and said: "Shopkeeper, I'm afraid that what you said is not right, right? As far as I know, the gems carved from the demon beast and demon pill can only have the effect of calming the gods when the yellow, green, and red colors are together. ”
"This ......" shopkeeper was flickering with his saliva, but he didn't expect to meet a really knowledgeable person, and he was speechless for a while.
Tranquility was taken aback, glared at the shopkeeper fiercely, then put down the bracelet, looked at Ning Chong adoringly, and said, "Wow! Brother Ning Chong, you can actually identify jewelry!"
"Uh......"
Ning Chong touched his nose and explained slightly: "I know a little bit, I learned it when I read miscellaneous books before. ”
Ning Chong only said that he understood a little, but the little girl was completely interested, shook Ning Chong's arm affectionately, and said in a coquettish tone: "Brother Ning Chong, you are so powerful, you must help me choose a few pieces of jewelry!"
Speaking of this, she glared at the (female + dry) shopkeeper fiercely, and said: "I still frequented this shop often, but this shopkeeper is not honest at all, such a (female + dry) merchant black shop, don't patronize it, Brother Ning Chong, let's go to other homes to have a look!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper's face suddenly fell, and he really wanted to slap himself a few times.
They mainly rely on the eldest lady of a big family like Tranquility to do this kind of business, but he was dizzy for a while, and he exaggerated the bracelet. As a result, it was exposed in front of others, and she was embarrassed and didn't say anything, and she offended this quiet lady. Now, the loss of a big customer has also affected the reputation of the store, and it may be difficult to mix in the future.
At this time, Ning Chong smiled instead: "Don't panic, since you're here, how can you go home empty-handed." Little girl, I'll give you a gift, do you want it?"
"Yes, yes!
Tranquility jumped up with joy, her eyes full of anticipation.
Ning Chong didn't delay much, walked to the container, and after a few glances, he pointed to a jade hairpin and asked, "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this white jade hairpin?"
The shopkeeper didn't expect that the two of them didn't leave, but they still had to buy his goods, and they were so surprised that they couldn't believe it, but when they heard Ning Chong's words, they finally reacted, and hurriedly stepped forward, nodded and said, "Five...... Fifty taels!"
Ning Chong nodded, took out a small golden ticket of fifty taels and handed it to the shopkeeper, after the shopkeeper received the golden ticket, he hurriedly wrapped the white jade hairpin carefully and meticulously, and respectfully handed it to Ning Chong.
Ning Chong was about to give the packaged white jade hairpin to Ningning, but at this time, he suddenly heard a sneering voice say: "The cost of such a hairpin will not exceed ten taels! Only an uninformed waste like you will pay a high price of fifty taels to buy this kind of garbage!"
There were other people's laughter echoing the voices in the voice, and outside the "Golden and Jade Full Hall" gemstone jewelry store, a handsome young man in a brocade robe and a golden crown walked in with two tall Tsing Yi slaves.
Ning Chong just glanced at it, his fists clenched involuntarily, and his heart was full of anger - this young man with extraordinary temperament and appearance was not Ning Fanyu on the first day of the Ning family's outer door!
Ning Chong had never forgotten that about half a year ago, Ning Fanyu's killing intent was undisguised, trying to take his surname as a palm. At that time, if he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and jumped into the water to escape as soon as possible, he might not have been able to stand here.
Ning Chong had been holding back a fire in his heart, and he had already decided to report back sooner or later. Moreover, the outer disciples of the family are Dabi, there is still a month to go, and if Ning Chong wants to enter the top five, he will definitely not be able to bypass Ning Fanyu.
There is no doubt that this Ning Fanyu is Ning Chong's biggest enemy in the way at present. But I didn't expect to meet here.
"Hmph!" Ning Chong snorted coldly and said with a smile, "Little girl, it's not strange that you say it's strange, how can a few flies suddenly fly to annoy people for no reason!"
The "fly" in Ning Chong's words, everyone knew very well who it meant, and when Ning Fanyu and the others heard this, their faces were all black.
And Tranquility couldn't help laughing, "fluttering" to cover her mouth and laugh, and let out a crisp and nice laugh.
