Because of Lin Zhu's sudden voice, Dong Yuzhen's embarrassment eased somewhat, but this aroused Dong Yuyao's dissatisfaction. "Why is it you again?" She was very unhappy to see Lin Zhu again.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Dong." Lin Zhu nodded to her and pointed out her identity. The sarcasm beyond words made Dong Yuyao a little angry.
"You're still rude when you see Miss Qi and Miss me." Dong Yuyao showed a condescending expression.
Lin Zhu looked at her funny, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes, "Miss Dong Er has an official status?"
Dong Yuyao didn't understand what she meant by asking this, and shook her head subconsciously.
"Then Miss Dong Er has an imperial edict?"
"What do you mean?" After Dong Yuyao shook her head, she suddenly realized that Lin Zhu's question seemed to be directed at her.
"Haha, I'm just a little strange. Why did you ask me to salute you when you don't have these things?" Lin Zhu didn't care about drawing hatred for himself, nor did he want to be humiliated for no reason. Of course, he also vented his anger on Dong Yuzhen.
Dong Yuyao was angered by Lin Zhu's words and choked up. Although she didn't want to admit it, Lin Zhu's words were not wrong at all. She had no way to refute and just glared at her fiercely.
"Sister Yuyao, I'm just a commoner. She has no education and has lost her identity." Miss Qi's words were very harsh and she had a completely condescending attitude.
Dong Yuyao, who was already furious at this time, seemed to wake up after hearing her words, and immediately became arrogant. She sneered and walked to Miss Qi's side.
"This guest, I have a favor of three hundred and fifty taels." The clerk now calculated the price of what Lin Zhu wanted and reported it to Lin Zhu.
Lin Zhu frowned slightly. She didn't expect that a few items that could be bought for two hundred taels elsewhere would cost so much money here.
Seeing Lin Zhu's hesitation, Dong Yuyao seemed to have grasped something, "Humph, you still insist on coming to Ruiyuan Building to buy things without money. You are indeed from the countryside."
The waiter's face also looked a little bad, and he was a little doubtful about whether Lin Zhu had the money to pay the bill.
Aunt Chang's face suddenly darkened, and she was about to step forward, but was stopped by Lin Zhu. She signaled Minglu to hand over the banknote to the clerk, and ignored Dong Yuyao's provocation.
"I also want some special jewelry. Is room No. 1 accessible?" Lin Zhu asked, pointing to a room that the boy who led the way had hinted at.
When Minglu was paying, the clerk saw what was in her purse. There was no money in it, it was all banknotes, so he no longer doubted Lin Zhu's strength. "Okay. But please wait a moment, sir.
Room No. 1 is currently occupied, but Room No. 2 also has many exquisite items.”
It turns out that these special rooms only conduct one-on-one transactions. Lin Zhu nodded, she liked this method very much, Ruiyuan Building is really good at doing business, and everyone who comes here is not short of money. No one wants to
When you look at jewelry by yourself, there are other people around you. If you meet someone you don't get along with, you might get into a fight.
"No. 2 is fine too." Lin Zhu glanced at Dong Yuzhen and said, "Sister Zhen, let's go over and choose some." After saying that, he entered room No. 2 under the guidance of the waiter.
Dong Yuyao and Miss Qi were left looking at each other in confusion.
But without their rivals, they didn't want to stay here and let others visit. Another waiter took them to another room. Miss Qi had reserved room No. 5. In fact, the jewelry in this room was also made by a famous master from Ruiyuan Building.
.However, comparing Room 1 and Room 2, there may be some differences.
Entering room No. 5, Dong Yuyao was still a little angry. "Sister Yuyao, who was she just now? How could she be on good terms with Miss Dong?" Miss Qi also deeply remembered Lin Zhu, who had ridiculed her just now.
Of course I heard it.
However, she is deeper than Dong Yuyao, so she will naturally not do anything if she does not understand Lin Zhu's identity.
"Huh, she's just a farm girl in the countryside. I heard she moved to the capital. This is the first time I've met her." Dong Yuyao came relatively late, and Mrs. Lin and the others would not tell her about Lin Zhu's affairs.
So she didn't know much about Lin Zhu.
After hearing this, Miss Qi gradually felt confident that he was just a person who was not worthy of her attention. In the future, she would be given some small punishments and would be dismissed.
However, she never thought about it, if she was really a farmer in the countryside, how could she be so happy shopping in Ruiyuan Building? I am afraid that even Dong Yuyao deliberately ignored this.
Lin Zhu and others entered Room No. 2 and found that the items inside were much more exquisite than the jewelry in the hall outside, not one or two levels higher.
"Wow, it's so beautiful." Dong Yuzhen couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"It's not bad." Aunt Chang nodded. She was used to seeing in-house jewelry, so this evaluation was considered a good one.
Lin Zhu found that the waiters in Ruiyuan Building had obvious class distinctions. Although the waiters on the first floor were also well-dressed, they only wore ordinary cotton clothes, while the waiters in the lobby on the second floor wore fine fine cotton. Room No. 2
The clothes of the waiter are even better. They are actually made of silk. Although it is ordinary silk, it also shows a big difference.
The waiter did not look down upon or be dissatisfied with them because of their surprise or indifference. He just quietly took out the jewelry for them to choose from, and occasionally explained the characteristics of the jewelry and the name of the maker.
Lin Zhu and Dong Yuzhen didn't know much about it, but Aunt Chang had been in the capital for a long time, so she naturally knew the difference between the jewelry craftsmen, and she also had an extraordinarily precise vision in choosing jewelry.
After understanding how much Lin Zhu planned to spend, he chose some jewelry for the two of them one by one, suitable for garden parties or formal occasions.
After spending a thousand taels of silver in Room 2, Lin Zhu left the room with satisfaction. She had to go to Room 1 and the third floor, so she restrained herself.
"Sister Xiaozhu, you must have bought too much." After leaving room No. 2, Dong Yuzhen was surprised by Lin Zhu's ability to spend money.
"Sister Zhen, it's hard to come out once, but you still have to buy everything?" Lin Zhuhun smiled nonchalantly.
Just when I was about to ask the clerk if there was anyone in room No. 1, the door to room No. 1 suddenly opened. It turned out to be someone from the Wang family inside.
Lin Zhu saw Wan taking the lead and saw him, so he stepped forward and saluted.
"It's Xiaozhu, what a coincidence, I met you here." Wan had a very good impression of Lin Zhu. In addition, her daughter's wish was not fulfilled about the garden party, so she became even more kind to Lin Zhu.
"This is my good sister in Song County, Dong Yuzhen." Lin Zhu introduced Dong Yuzhen's identity to Wan. Dong Yuzhen also bowed obediently.
"Good girl." Mrs. Wan learned that Dong Yuzhen once had problems on her face just like Wang Qingyan, and her eyes softened a lot.
"Sister Yan will be out soon." Mrs. Wan pointed to the door of Room 1, but the person beside her was someone Lin Zhu didn't recognize. "This is Yan'er's cousin, her surname is Song and her given name is Han.
Yu." After speaking, he pointed at Lin Zhu and introduced, "Han Yu, this is the good sister Lin Zhu that your sister Yan talks about."
Song Hanyu was not very enthusiastic, but she greeted Lin Zhu without any disrespect.
When Mrs. Wan was about to ask Lin Zhu why she was here, Wang Qingyan came out with her maid. When she saw Lin Zhu, she happily walked up to her.
"Sister Zhu, what a coincidence, I meet you here." Wang Qingyan took Lin Zhu's hand.
"It's a coincidence, Sister Yan." Lin Zhu was also very happy and introduced Dong Yuzhen to her. Both of them had good tempers, so it was easy to get along with them.
"By the way, what are you doing here?" Wang Qingyan asked, "Well, you see, what I asked was of course to buy jewelry." Wang Qingyan felt that she just asked nonsense.
"I want to buy some jewelry and go shopping." Lin Zhu replied with a smile. "Sister Yan, do you know about the garden party next month?"
"Can you go too?" When Lin Zhu mentioned this, not only Wang Qingyan was surprised, but even Wan Shi found it hard to believe it.
"Well, a friend gave me the post." Lin Zhu nodded. "Is this post difficult to get?" Looking at their surprised looks, Lin Zhu couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Of course, the royal gardens are not that easy to enter." Wang Qingyan nodded and said.
"That's right," Lin Zhu also remembered that this is a privileged society and the imperial power is supreme. "I have a garden that has never been built. I just took this opportunity to see what the royal garden looks like."
Wan almost laughed when she heard Lin Zhu's purpose. It seemed that Lin Zhu didn't know the main purpose of the garden party. However, she couldn't tell Lin Zhu clearly in public.
Because Wan and the others had other things to do, they stayed for a while and then left. Lin Zhu and the others were also led by the waiter to Room 1. However, the scene where they were talking to the Wang family was interrupted by everyone coming out of Room 5.
The young lady and Dong Yuyao saw it. However, they did not hear the conversation between Lin Zhu and others.
"Sister Yuyao, your sister actually knows someone from the Wang family?" How could the Wang family, who even refused to let the Qi family out, have anything to do with Dong Yuzhen? Did she miss something? Thinking of this, Miss Qi looked at Dong Yuyao with a somewhat confused look.
That's not right.
"I haven't heard of it." Dong Yuyao also had a look of astonishment on her face. When did this dull Dong Yuzhen actually know such a distinguished person? Dong Yuyao's eyes were filled with jealousy.
But the facts in front of her shocked her so much that she didn't even notice Miss Qi's thoughtful expression.
Lin Zhu and others, who were selecting jewelry in Room 1, naturally had no idea what was going on outside.
"Master Gu's craftsmanship is truly extraordinary." Aunt Chang spoke highly of the jewelry in Room 1.
The waiter was also secretly shocked that Aunt Chang could recognize Master Gu's craftsmanship. He could not tell the origin of this person at all, but he could not neglect them just based on Aunt Chang's words.
Gold is a hard currency in this era. No matter what kind of thing can be converted into currency, unlike in the previous life, jewelry can only be regarded as craft gold, and its value is far less than that of gold bars.
In addition, women have little resistance to jewelry. With sufficient funds, Lin Zhu spent a large amount of money, spending a total of five thousand taels.
Even Aunt Chang felt that Lin Zhu was too generous, but Lin Zhu smiled and said to her, "Aunt Chang, the money you earn is used to spend it. If you leave it there, it won't generate any money. You can earn it after you spend it.
