Chapter Seventy-Nine: Self-Pit

She minored in Chinese medicine in modern times, and can know several kinds of medicinal materials, but she is not proficient, and later after being a half-travel friend, she has read some books on first aid in the field, and now she is observing medicinal materials in this pharmacy, but she does not understand it at all. Sometimes you can pick up one or two things decently and smell them to distinguish the quality, but that's all.

On the opposite side of the Hang Seng Medicine Cabinet is the famous gold, silver and jade jewelry shop in Shengjing City, Jin Shixuan.

At this time, several young ladies next to Jin Shixuan's counter were chattering, looking at the jewelry that the female shopkeeper in front of them had given them to try on.

These young ladies are not outsiders, they are the young ladies of the British government.

Originally, the two elder brothers from the house came together, but after arriving at Jin Shixuan, the two young masters were impatient to accompany their sisters to choose jewelry, so they found an excuse to slip away.

Now there are only a few delicate ladies left, excitedly discussing jewelry.

Fifth Miss Su took a fancy to a jade bracelet with a bright green texture.

Although the water head of jade is not the best, it is better than the color of verdant, and the color of blue and green is like flowing water, which makes people look comfortable and transparent in summer.

Wear it on a slender white wrist to accentuate your complexion.

She couldn't help but ask the female shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this bracelet?"

The female shopkeeper smiled: "This emerald bracelet sets off Miss's slender wrist, it is really a good match for you, Miss has a good eye." ”

The female shopkeeper said as she took out a delicate wooden box from a corner under the counter, and when the wooden box was opened, there were two earrings of the same color as the emerald bracelet, emerald green drop-shaped earrings, which were equally beautiful.

"If Miss wants, this jade earring should be added to Miss, and the little woman with the bracelet will charge Miss fifty taels of silver?"

Fifty taels ......

Although it is not at most, it is still a little expensive for these young ladies who only take monthly examples.

The young lady in the British Mansion only has eight taels of silver per month, and a jade bracelet in Jin Shixuan turned out to be their monthly silver for half a year......

Sister Su came out with fifty or sixty taels of silver today, but this is what she has saved for half a year, and if she takes it all out to change this bracelet at this time, she is still a little reluctant, and she still wants to buy a piece of jewelry for her mother.

Sister Su pulled the corners of her mouth, put down the bracelet in her hand, and there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes, "Shopkeeper, I'll take a look at something else." ”

The shopkeeper seemed to see the young lady's embarrassment, and did not say anything more, but quietly took out the cheaper jewelry for her to choose.

Sister Kite, who was holding a jade bead inlaid with gold next to her, chuckled, "Fifth sister, you went out today with more than fifty taels of silver, why are you reluctant to even buy a jade bracelet?"

Eighth Miss Sister Kite said that Sister Su'er's face turned red.

Sister Su pursed her lips, didn't say anything, lowered her head and picked up jewelry, pretending not to hear.

Sister Kite chuckled, handed the golden step shake in her hand to the female shopkeeper, and said heroically: "Shopkeeper, wrap this step shake for me." ”

The female shopkeeper didn't expect this young lady to be so bold, and immediately smiled in her eyes, took a delicate box and said while pretending to be a step: "This young lady's vision is also the best, this golden step is inlaid with three emerald gemstones, each of which is the same size, and the pattern of rich flowers is good, only two flowers, not complicated and elegant, with Miss today's pink skirt is just right." This step shake is the craftsmanship of Master Liu in our shop, and the little woman only accepts one hundred and fifty taels of silver from the young lady. ”

Hearing the words of the female shopkeeper at the beginning, Sister Kite was almost proud to float, or her vision was good, and she chose such a good-looking step shake with a casual pick, which was much better than the broken bracelet of the fifth Miss Kite sister. But when she heard the quotation of the female shopkeeper, Sister Kite's expression suddenly froze.

What? One hundred and fifty taels of silver, why didn't the shopkeeper of Jin Shixuan grab it!

Sister Kite saw that this golden step was definitely more expensive than the jade bracelet that Sister Su looked at, but she only thought that this step was within a hundred taels of silver, so she specially asked for a hundred taels of silver tickets with her mother today, and she also saved thirty or forty taels of silver, and brought them out together.

Even if the young lady of the first-class noble family goes out with a hundred and ten taels of silver, it is considered a lot, let alone the British government.

If it is a gold and stone jewelry shop next to it, more than 100 taels must be enough, but this Jin Shixuan, which specializes in wealthy business, is different.

originally wanted to slap Sister Su'er in the face, but now in the British Mansion, that is, this fifth miss who has not yet gone out is pressing her as the eighth lady everywhere, and today let her eat in front of outsiders. But I didn't expect to get myself into it.

The silver she had now added up to was only a little more than one hundred and thirty taels......

Sister Kite's face immediately stiffened and ugly, her cheeks were red for a while and white for a while because of embarrassment, she opened her mouth, and met the attentive gaze of the female shopkeeper, and wanted to take back the words just now but couldn't spit out a word.

Sister Kite waved her eyes in a little panic, and the face of the close-fitting big girl behind her was even more ugly than her, and her eyes were about to cry, and she carefully pulled the sleeve of the master.

One hundred and fifty taels of silver, if you really buy it back, you will not be scolded to death by the second lady, and the jewelry on the lady's own head rarely has more than one hundred taels of silver.

At that time, Miss Eight will be scolded at most, but she is a different person, and it is possible for her to be dragged out and sold.

The fifth and ninth ladies beside her are not vegetarians, and they can see the embarrassment of the eighth miss in three or two.

The corners of Miss Nine's mouth hooked, and she stabbed: "Ah, Eighth Sister doesn't speak, it won't be because she didn't bring enough money, she won't be embarrassed! ”

The lady who received these noble ministers all day long was naturally a master of observing words and feelings, although she was disdainful of the women in front of her, she never showed it on her face, and nodded with a thoughtful smile when she heard the words.

But the more this is the case, the more Sister Kite feels that she can't get off the stage, she is arrogant, before Chu Lian got married, she also wanted to compare with her, now Chu Lian is not in the house, but there are still big houses and three rooms, and the second master of the second room is not angry, and he was originally a head down in the British mansion, how can these female dependents be compared with the big house and the third room.

This is also the reason why the second lady learned that she was going out to play with the sisters in the big house and the third room, so she gave her a hundred taels of silver.

No matter how difficult it is to live in the house, you can't lose face outside.

Sister Kite was rising and falling in the chest of Miss Nine's words, but now she has no silver, and she can't come to the stage, so she can only knock out her teeth and swallow it, and when she looks up, she has to admit that she doesn't have enough money, but as soon as she looks up, the afterglow of her eyes sweeps to a familiar figure outside.

Sister Kite was a little surprised, her brain suddenly moved, and she came up with a way out of the predicament.

Immediately, she swallowed the words that came to her mouth, and her originally embarrassed pale face seemed to be cured instantly, and Miss Fifth and Miss Nine couldn't figure out why she suddenly turned her face faster than turning a book.

Sister Kite didn't mention the golden step, took a step to the side abnormally, and suddenly hugged the arm of the fifth Miss Su Sister, as if the sisters had not been sarcastic to each other just now, "Fifth sister, ninth sister, look at the other side, isn't that the sixth sister! Sister Kite pointed to the Hang Seng medicine cabinet opposite.

At this time, it happened that Chu Lian turned around and took two maids out of the medicine cabinet, one of the maids turned her head and whispered something in her ear, Chu Lian nodded while listening carefully.

Facing each other, Sister Su and Sister Fu looked at it squarely, but it was not Chu Lian who married into Jing'anbo Mansion to enjoy happiness.

Seeing that Chu Lian was crossing Vermilion Bird Street with two girls, wasn't this direction the Jinshixuan where they were?

There was no guy in the Hang Seng medicine cabinet to take care of it, Chu Lian didn't see any precious medicinal materials placed on the surface, so she gave up, and besides, she didn't know what the specific condition of her mother-in-law Mrs. Jing Anbo was.

After listening to Wen Qing's introduction again, Chu Lian planned to go to Jin Shixuan to have a look.

As soon as he walked to the middle of Suzaku Street, Chu Lian looked up at Jin Shixuan, and actually saw several familiar figures.

If she hadn't found out that the person on the other side had also seen her, she really wanted to anoint the soles of her feet and slip away immediately, and there would have been no good things with the sisters of her mother's family, especially her half-sister.

Chu Lian couldn't help but look up at the sky, thinking that he must have not looked at the yellow calendar when he went out today, and encountered a lot of troubles.

Chu Lian held his mouth and said to the Qing beside him: "Is it okay if we can't go now?"

Asked Qing to see that a few gorgeously dressed young ladies on the other side walked over here, obviously to greet their third grandmother, so they had to ruthlessly beat her back to reality, "No, third grandmother, they are coming." ”

"Ask Qing, don't you know kung fu, can you take me to fly the wall and leave? I really don't want to see the person opposite. ”

Wen Qing's forehead darkened, "Third grandma, you have read too many books on weekdays, even if it is a big inner dragon and tiger guard, you can't fly the eaves and walk the wall, and it is even more impossible for the slave maid and Wen Lan." ”

Chu Lian could only bow his head, sighed in distress, and accepted his fate.

Chu Lian said pitifully: "Then you have to protect your master for a while, don't let your master be bullied by others." ”

Ask Qing Yanyan, she has followed Chu Lian out several times, even if the third grandmother is really a weak and delicate girl, but has there really been a time when she has been bullied by others? She pursed her lips and refused to talk to Chu Lian anymore, looking more like a stuffy gourd than asking Lan.

Chu Lian snorted helplessly, and said as if lost: "You little girls, it's really getting more and more boring." ”

While the master and servant were talking, they had already arrived at the gate of Jin Shixuan, and Chu Wu, Chu Ba and Chu Jiu also came out.

The fifth lady walked in the front, with a slight smile on her face, and there was a hint of coquettishness on her round face because of the smile.

"The sixth sister is really a coincidence, I don't want us to meet on Suzaku Street. ”

Sister Kite stood behind Sister Su, she looked Chu Lian up and down with a pair of eyes, and saw that she was only wearing a light cyan dress with ordinary fabric, a jade hairpin that could not be seen was simply inserted into her black bun, and there was not even a bracelet on her wrist.
