Chapter 81: Gift of Jade Bracelets
The 'female' shopkeeper answered softly, and soon brought a maid over with a lot of jewelry and placed them in front of Chu Lian one by one. , the latest chapter access: Π¨Π¨Π¨.79xs.Π‘ΠΎΠ .
This time, the 'female' shopkeeper took some pieces of jewelry that were cheaper than the previous three pieces.
Chu Lian just picked up a gold ring and found it, she just glanced at it casually, and knew that these jewelry were worse than the three just now. She gently put down the gold ring in her hand, and did not dismantle the 'female' shopkeeper, but she didn't look at the rest anymore.
Getting up, Chu Lian came to the counter by himself, and several people looked at each other, even the 'female' shopkeeper didn't know what this ordinary-dressed Jinyi townsman was thinking, until Chu Lian's somewhat soft voice sounded, and the 'female' shopkeeper came back to his senses.
"Shopkeeper, take out this wrench and show it to me. β
The 'female' shopkeeper walked to the high counter in three or two steps, looked in the direction pointed by Chu Lian's white fingers, and was speechless for an instant.
After coming back to his senses, he immediately took the 'fine' wooden box containing the wrench to Chu Lian.
Chu Lian pointed to a pair of Hetian Qing 'jade' wrenches, one is larger, and the other is a pair as long as it is smaller.
Originally, Hetian Qing 'jade' is a kind of superb 'jade' quality, no matter what you do, it is extremely valuable, but now the Dawu Dynasty has not yet prevailed to wear a wrench, and in the court, only military generals will wear a wrench, in order to facilitate the drawing of the bow.
When Jin Shixuan first got this piece of Hetian Qing 'jade' material, he didn't think about making the wrench, but unfortunately because of the flaws in the 'jade' material, he finally found the 'jade' material of this pair of wrenches after the ingenious design of a skilled craftsman, which can be regarded as the maximum use. It's a pity that there are too few nobles who buy wrenches, so they have been stranded.
It's cheaper than today's Chu Lian.
The original text also specifically mentioned this pair of Hetian Qing's 'jade' wrenches, which were also purchased by Chu Lian by chance, but not in Jin Shixuan, and the 'jade' wrench worn by the obviously large man was of course worn on Xiao Bojian's thumb in the end.
Xiao Bojian is a Wenchen, and it is precisely because of the green 'jade' wrench in his hand that the 'jade' wrench has become a status symbol for a while, and it is sought after by the people of the time.
Hetian Qing's 'jade' wrench finger is warm and moist, the 'jade' quality is delicate and translucent, the water head is full, the smaller wrench finger seems to be tailor-made for Chu Lian, set on the thumb, the white fingers reflect the green jade, and it looks good.
Several young ladies from the British Mansion next to them were also a little stunned, never thought that this kind of jewelry that only martial artists would wear would look so good even if it was worn on the hands of a 'woman', and if it could be matched with a riding costume, the effect would definitely be even better.
Of course, Chu Lian was also very satisfied, she looked at the 'female' shopkeeper and motioned to her with her eyes to introduce the pair of wrenches.
After the 'female' shopkeeper was surprised, he also calmed down, and said honestly: "Madam, the little 'woman' doesn't dare to hide it, the ornament in your hand is a pair of wrenches, and the material is an excellent Hetian Qing 'jade', but the 'jade' material obtained at the beginning is limited, and such a pair of wrenches was made, because there are very few nobles who buy the wrenches, and this has been left, if Mrs. really has the heart to buy, the little 'woman' is the master of three or two hundred silver to you, how about it?"
Chu Lian nodded after hearing this, just like in the original text, this pair of wrenches is really much cheaper than other Hetian Qing 'jade' jewelry, Jin Shixuan, the 'female' shopkeeper who does business, is quite sincere, and he is not 'messy' to ask for the price.
However, three hundred taels is also a lot of money.
Chu Lian didn't say whether to buy it or not, but he didn't let the 'female' shopkeeper put away the pair of wrenches, but looked at some other jewelry.
Sister Fu followed behind Chu Lian, sneering from an angle that others didn't see, thinking: Since she can't afford it, and she asks what she is doing, is it possible that after delaying time, someone can still pay the bill for her?
Sister Kite also slowly became eager, "Sixth Sister has seen so much, but is it optimistic?"
Chu Lian turned his head to look at her, put down a 'jade' orchid 'flower' hairpin in his hand, and suddenly pulled out a smile when he looked at her.
"Why, it seems that the eighth sister is more anxious than me. β
Sister Fu'er didn't wait for Sister Kite's angry rebuttal, so she said with a meaningful smile: "Sixth sister, you won't be in a hurry to go out today, and you didn't bring enough silver tickets, right? β
Sister Su was annoyed, "Eighth sister, ninth sister!
Sister Fu'er stared at Chu Lian's expression tightly when she spoke, and saw that although she tried her best to maintain her composure on her face, her apricot eyes revealed a trace of panic and confusion, and her heart was happy.
Thinking in my heart, this time I will see how Chu Lian can save face!
The 'female' shopkeeper behind the counter was silent and only peeked at Chu Lian, she actually didn't believe that Chu Lian, who was dressed like this, could really take out hundreds of taels or even thousands of taels to buy these jewelry.
Chu Lian looked at Sister Su and comforted her softly, "Fifth Sister don't worry, I see that 'jade' bracelet is very good, it suits you very well." β
After speaking, he turned around and glanced at Sister Kite and Sister Fu'er, and her black eyes instantly exuded a different look, and suddenly her eyes were completely different from before, so that Sister Kite and Sister Fu were instantly stunned and speechless.
Now there is still a trace of embarrassment and worry in Chu Lian's eyes, those shining black eyes, with a smile and cunning, are as bright as stars in the night.
She turned her head to the 'female' shopkeeper who was already stunned and said, "The shopkeeper, wrap up the three pieces of jewelry and this pair of 'jade' wrenches selected by the sisters, ask Qing, and pay the bill with the shopkeeper." β
Chu Lian also took a look at Jin Shixuan's other jewelry, although the workmanship is 'fine' and the materials are high-quality, but the 'flower' style is old and simple, and the style is not novel, it is better to draw the 'flower' and send it to Jin Shixuan to be 'handed over' to the master of the specialized 'door' to make it.
The 'female' shopkeeper thought that she couldn't afford to buy a single one, but she didn't expect to be so generous when she came to make a move, and she actually bought the jewelry she liked and the three young ladies.
A few pieces of jewelry add up to six hundred taels of silver, but it is a big deal.
The 'female' shopkeeper suddenly smiled from ear to ear, "Since the lady wants to buy it, the little 'woman' is in charge, and the fraction of the ten taels of silver will be erased, and the pair of jasper earrings that were promised to be given at that time are still counted." β
Hearing this, Wen Qing took out six hundred taels of silver tickets from his purse and handed them to the 'female' shopkeeper, who checked the counter tickets and wrapped the jewelry in a wooden box and handed it to Wen Qing and Lan.
Chu Lian smiled, and a pair of apricot eyes bent into crescent moons and looked at the three people around him.
The faces of the three sisters of the British Mansion were all shocked and couldn't help it, but the shock on the faces of the three was different, Sister Su faintly had a trace of worry, Sister Kite was taking advantage of the stealing joy, and Sister Fu was unwilling to succeed in the 'adulterous' plan.
Sister Fu said sourly: "It's really unusual for the sixth sister to make a move after getting the title! β
This time, Chu Lian did not remain silent, she looked at Sister Fu'er with a smile, "Thank you Ninth Sister for complimenting." β
One sentence made Sister Fu vomit to death, and the false expression on her face couldn't be put away, and she suddenly 'revealed' a trace of embarrassment.
Sister Kite glanced at Wen Lan who was holding the jewelry box, and she couldn't wait to snatch the emerald gold step from her hand right now.
Only Sister Su followed behind Chu Lian, looking at her with worry in her eyes, afraid that she had 'spent' so much silver because of her momentary anger.
After buying jewelry, Chu Lian didn't want to stay in Jinshixuan for long. The four sisters of the British Mansion were sent to the 'door' of Jin Shixuan by the 'female' shopkeeper together.
When he arrived at the place where the carriage had to be parked, Chu Lian stopped, turned around and picked out a brocade box from Wen Lan's hand and handed it to Sister Su behind him.
"Fifth sister, this is the 'jade' bracelet you fancied, take it. β
Sister Su refused to go back, and shook her head again and again, "Sixth sister, this bracelet is too valuable, I can't ask for it, you better take it back to your home and wear it to play!"
Sister Su really didn't think about taking this 'jade' bracelet from Chu Lian's hand.
Chu Lian glared at him with a pair of apricot eyes, and stuffed the 'jade' bracelet into Sister Su'er's arms, "Fifth sister, this 'jade' bracelet is not suitable for me to wear, and it is useless for me to bring it back." After speaking, he raised his wrist and shook it in front of Sister Su.
Chu Lian's wrist is much slenderer than Sister Su'er, and that 'jade' bracelet is really inappropriate for her to wear.
Sister Kite next to her saw that the two of them refused, her eyes widened, and she was anxious, eager to reach out and take it for Sister Su, but she was afraid that Sister Su would really refuse the bracelet, which would affect the golden step shake that Chu Lian gave her. When Sister Su finally accepted the 'jade' bracelet, she also breathed a sigh of relief, and then she stared at Chu Lian in a daze.
Sister Su couldn't, she felt guilty and happy in her heart, Chu Lian was willing to give her something, indicating that the relationship between them was not to the point of irretrievability, "Then thank you Sixth Sister, next time I have something good, I will definitely think about Sixth Sister." β
Chu Lian smiled at her, patted the back of Sister Su'er's hand, and then glanced at Sister Kite and Sister Fu with his eyes.
Sister Kite stared at her eagerly, and Sister Fu'er had been with a black face since she was slapped in the face in Jin Shixuan, and she didn't even bother to pretend to purse her lips and stop talking.
Chu Lian rolled his eyes in his heart, he still wanted to get cheap from her, but he couldn't help but think that she was too white lotus 'flower'.
Chu Lian retracted his eyes, his gaze fell on Sister Su'er's face again, and said with a soft expression: "Fifth sister, it's not early today, I should go back too, let's separate here, I'll post another day, please go to Jing'anbo Mansion to enjoy the 'flowers'." β
Sister Su nodded with a smile, and the next moment Chu Lian turned around and walked towards her own carriage, leaving only Sister Fu and the others with a slender back.
Sister Kite was stunned for a while, she unconsciously stretched out her hand in the direction where Chu Lian left, as if she wanted to hold something, and after a while, Sister Kite came back to her senses and couldn't help but chase out two steps.
"Sixth sister, wait!"
Chu Lian stopped and turned around, blinked a pair of clear apricot eyes, and tilted his head a little puzzled, "What else is the matter with Eighth Sister?"
Sister Kite pursed her lips, her eyes were full of disbelief, she ...... She actually forgot about her Jin Bu Shao like this! How could this be! That Jin Bu Shao was her favorite! It was hers!
Sister Kite tried her best to suppress the unwillingness in her heart, squeezed out a trace of an ugly smile, and reminded: "Did the sixth sister forget something?"
Chu Lian raised her head slightly, as if she was really thinking about it seriously, in Sister Kite's expectant gaze, Chu Lian smiled and met her gaze, and shook her head, "I remember 'sex' well! I remember all the important things, and I have nothing to forget." β
What the!
Sister Kite'er's eyes widened instantly, her hands clenched tightly in the cuffs, and she said angrily: "Since the sixth sister can't remember, the younger sister will remind the sixth sister, that golden step shakes." β
