Chapter 211: The woman sings with her husband, and her teeth are so sour that she loses her teeth
"The shopkeeper brought the best and most expensive jewelry in the shop." Zhou Du said the same thing.
Shopkeeper Yan didn't dare to slack off, took out the jewelry box as quickly as possible, and sent it to Gu Xiyan: "Miss Gu pick slowly." β
Zhou Du stepped forward to take a look, although he didn't know much about women's jewelry, he could also see that the jewelry style of the Golden Jade Pavilion was indeed better-looking.
When he saw a nine-turn red gold double luan inlaid with jade inlaid with seven treasures and bright gold steps, his eyes lit up, and he picked it up and inserted it into Gu Xiyan's sideburns.
This step shake is already luxurious, Gu Xiyan's appearance is also bright, and with such a step shake, she is even more delicate and moving.
"Beautiful!" Zhou Du sighed softly.
Gu Xiyan was also speechless. The most expensive thing in the Golden Jade Pavilion is this step shake, and Zhou Du picked the most expensive one at a glance.
"This step shake is too expensive, shall we change it?" Gu Xiyan wanted to take down this step shake, and said in a low voice: "It is difficult to have a chance to wear such jewelry, it is too ostentatious, and it is more practical to change to a more low-key hairpin." β
When Chi Zao, who was listening with his ears pricked up on the side, heard Gu Xiyan's words, he suddenly raised his voice and said: "Shopkeeper Yan, this nine-turn Lianzhu red gold double luan inlaid with jade inlaid seven treasures Ming Jin step shakes me!" β
Gu Xiyan's eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed in front of Zhou Du and said, "Obviously, we took a fancy to it first!" β
As soon as Zhou Du heard Gu Xiyan say this, his eyebrows jumped slightly, and he suddenly remembered the scene of Gu Xiyan bidding with the lord of Yongjia at the food festival.
He looked at Gu Xiyan tangledly, Gu Xiyan looked over and handed him a look, and he knew that it was not that he was too careful.
This girl is playing the same tricks she used at the food festival again.
"Didn't you say no?" Chi Zao snorted lightly.
She just couldn't get used to the scene of affection and love between Gu Xiyan and Zhou Dui, and she couldn't get used to Gu Xiyan's poor appearance.
"When Miss Chi said that she wanted it, I thought that this step was good, and it was always good for someone to rob something."
As soon as Gu Xiyan said this, Chi Zao suddenly became angry: "What do you mean?!" β
So Gu Xiyan wanted to rob her because she wanted to buy it? Gu Xiyan, how dare she rob her?!
Isn't it a lot of money?
"It means that what you have stolen should be more precious. If Miss Chi doesn't say yes, I don't plan to buy it. Since it is what Miss Chi wants, it must be good. Gu Xiyan said to the shopkeeper Yan: "Shopkeeper Yan, help me put the step shake up." β
Chi Zao said in her heart, what kind of person is this, she is still justified in grabbing things?
"Wait, I spoke first!" Chi Zao said and looked at Gu Xiyan and asked, "You are just a down-and-out lady of Wanqing Hou Mansion, can you buy such valuable jewelry?" β
It's really not that she said, who in the entire capital doesn't know that Gu Xiyan's status in the Wanqing Marquis Mansion is embarrassing? You don't have much money a month, right? This step is very valuable at first glance, is Gu Xiyan going to buy it with his life?
"Shopkeeper Yan, how much silver does this step shake?" Gu Xiyan asked.
Shopkeeper Yan is a shrewd person, she also heard about what happened at the food festival, she had a flash of inspiration, and opened her mouth and said: "This step shakes eight thousand taels!" β
Chi Zao is not bad for money, and he thinks that the price of Bu Shao is reasonable, can he just take care of Xiyan and Zhou Du with so much silver?
"Xiyan, no one can deserve it except for you, I'll buy it and give it to you."
As soon as Zhou Dui's words came out, everyone present felt bad in their hearts.
Chi Zao was very angry, she said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper Yan, this step shakes me!" β
The shopkeeper Yan was embarrassed: "This step shake is unique, only this one, both girls want it, which makes me very embarrassed." Otherwise, the one with the highest price will get it, how about it? β
Chi Zao immediately shouted: "Eight thousand five hundred taels, I want it!" β
Zhou Du raised his eyebrows lightly and looked at Gu Xiyan, Gu Xiyan smiled back at him: "I'll give nine thousand taels." β
Chi Zao didn't expect Gu Xiyan, a down-and-out noblewoman, to dare to carry her, she said in a deep voice: "Nine thousand five hundred taels!" β
She still doesn't believe it, as the granddaughter of the dignified Chi Ge Lao, she can't fight Gu Xiyan, a down-and-out noble girl whose father doesn't hurt and her mother doesn't love.
"Nine thousand six hundred taels!" Gu Xiyan weakly increased the price.
Chi Zao did not hesitate to increase the price: "10,000 taels!" β
Gu Xiyan looked sad, "That's it, I won't fight with you, let it be better for you." β
"You can't compete, right?" Chi Zao replied disdainfully.
"Twenty thousand taels!" Zhou Du suddenly steals the show without warning.
Gu Xiyan and Chi Zao looked at Zhou Du at the same time, looking incredulous.
Zhou Duan's eyebrows looked at Gu Xiyan gently, "Since it is the jewelry that Xiyan fancies, others can only make way for Xiyan." β
These words were clearly said to Chi Zao.
As soon as Chi Zao heard that she was going to give way to Gu Xiyan, she was immediately furious, her brain was hot, and she said angrily: "Thirty thousand taels!" β
She still doesn't believe it, Zhou Duan, a third-grade official of the household department who was killed halfway, can be richer than her!
"Forty thousand taels!" Zhou Du glanced at Chi Zao: "This girl can't fight me, why waste her lips and tongue?" Losing to Xiyan is not a big deal, it is nothing more than letting the people of the whole capital know that Xiyan won you. β
Chi Zao was provoked by Zhou Dui like this, his mind was hot, and he said loudly: "Fifty thousand taels, this step shakes me!" β
The shopkeeper Yan was frightened when she heard it, she didn't dare to squeak, and tried her best to reduce her sense of existence.
Gu Xiyan gently tugged at Zhou Dui's cuffs and whispered, "Forget it, I don't want this step." β
"You can't afford it, do you?!" Chi Zao sarcastically hooked his lips.
She turned to the shopkeeper Yan and said, "Shopkeeper Yan, I sent Yahuan back to get the silver taels, and this step shake will help me install it." β
"How can I compare to Miss Chi's roast?" Gu Xiyan replied with a faint smile.
Zhou Du said to Gu Xiyan: "I'll pick a hairpin for you." β
As for Chi Zao, it cost 50,000 taels to buy a step shake, which should be another gift to Xiyan.
If there is no accident, this Golden Jade Pavilion also has a deep relationship with Gu Xiyan, maybe it is still a shop under Gu Xiyan's name, so this 50,000 taels is equivalent to Gu Xiyan's earnings.
This little money fan beside him does not miss any opportunity to make money.
"Okay." Gu Xiyan's eyebrows flew.
She made a lot of money and was in a very good mood.
After Zhou Dui carefully selected, he chose a butterfly tassel hairpin curved green hosta, he carefully inserted Gu Xiyan's sideburns, and then looked at her carefully, and only said after a while: "It's so beautiful!" β
All ornaments can only be ordinary decorations, and her appearance is so prosperous that any ornament can only be the icing on the cake.
Even if she didn't have any other ornaments on her, she was beautiful enough.
Several noble ladies on the side, including Chi Zao, saw this scene and lost their teeth with sourness.
Chi Zao suddenly felt that the step he had just grabbed was not fragrant, just because Gu Xiyan was thrillingly beautiful even if he only inserted a mediocre hairpin.
In addition, Gu Xiyan has an excellent fiancΓ© like Zhou Dui, and the relationship between the two looks very good, and Zhou Dui does not look like he is going to withdraw from the marriage at all.
