Today's Jinxiu Street is particularly lively. Madams and ladies who don't go out much on weekdays want to visit relatives and friends during the New Year and browse the shops.
Due to the large number of customers during the New Year, many shops have set up stalls outside, selling inexpensive things. Mingruo stopped in front of a shop called Jinyu Pavilion. The stalls outside sold seal materials.
Mingruo looked at it and picked up a piece of white agate: "How much does this cost?"
"Shenghui's silver pattern." The waiter replied with a smile.
"I bought the material, can you engrave it here?" In ancient times, seals were basically daily necessities. If you decide to engrave one casually, as long as it can be used.
"Okay, okay." The clerk said quickly, "The name badge can be engraved for free. Use a special font or a patterned seal. Depending on the complexity, you will have to pay some extra money."
"Don't do this." Si Haochen took the seal in Mingruo's hand and threw it back to where it was, "Let's go to the store and have a look."
"I just wrote to the master for use. There is no need to buy something too good." Mingruo is a pragmatist, as long as it can be used, he doesn't care about the material.
After entering the store, Mingruo discovered that the Jinyu Pavilion lived up to its name and sold all kinds of jade products. From large Buddha statues to small pendants and loose beads, jade of various textures was available.
Ming Ruo was just looking at it casually, but Si Haochen had a purpose. He stood in front of the jewelry shelf, looked at it for a while, pointed to a pair of earrings and said, "How much does this cost?"
"Young master, you have good eyesight. This is the best mutton-fat jade. Look at the oily and white material." The shopkeeper brought the pair of earrings to Si Haochen, "It's the best thing to give to your sweetheart, Chenghui.
Three hundred taels of silver."
Mingruo was a little curious. Something great would cost three hundred taels, so he walked to Si Haochen. Inside the small brocade box was a pair of drop-shaped white jade earrings. The claw-set jade pendant had a slender and delicate receptacle. From a distance, it looked like
Go, this earring is like a
The calla lilies hanging upside down are very beautiful. Such a small pair of earrings costs 300 taels. Isn’t the store too shady? (Ranyi: Ruoruo, your Yunzhuanglou is even shabbier than his...
...Ruoruo: I am taking the high-end luxury route.)
Si Haochen took out the banknote directly and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Here."
"Thank you for your patronage." The shopkeeper smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes. He closed the brocade box and handed it to Si Haochen.
Si Haochen thrust the small brocade box into Mingruo's hand: "Let's go."
Mingruo was pulled far away by Si Haochen and looked at the brocade box in his hand: "Hey, my private seal."
"That's not good, I'm not worthy of you." Si Haochen said seriously.
"Ha...I'm not a scholar. I'm not worthy enough..."
"That's not worthy."
The two of them talked and walked to the vicinity of Yunzhuanglou. Yunzhuanglou did not set up a stall in front of the store, but set up two wooden signs. One had a poster of spring and summer clothes and jewelry, and the other had a poster of spring and summer clothes and jewelry.
This is a notice - 999 shades of lipstick are sold out and will arrive on the 20th of the first lunar month. Jasmine loose powder is limited to one box per person.
From the open door of the store, you can see that it is packed with people. None of the customers who came out came back empty-handed. They all carried Yunzhuanglou’s special ‘shopping bags’ with handles.
Mingruo didn't go in, but just watched from a distance.
"It seems business is good." Si Haochen has never seen any shop so full.
"Yeah." Ming Ruo smiled with crooked eyebrows, as if she had seen the money rolling in.
"Huh?" Mingruo saw an acquaintance, "Your ex-fiancée is married, right?"
When Si Haochen heard this, he frowned so hard that he could kill a mosquito: "I have never had a fiancée."
"Isn't that right?" Mingruo pointed to Princess Lanyang who had her hair tied into a woman's bun, "You are quite destined."
"What's the fate?" Si Haochen glanced at Mingruo.
It's a pity that Mingruo's desire to survive is not always online, so he continued: "You have only come to Yunzhuang Building twice in total and met me twice. What is it if it's not fate?"
Princess Lanyang supported the maid's arm as she got out of the carriage and walked straight to Yunzhuang Tower. As soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by the waiter.
"This store doesn't do your business, please go back."
"You bitch, do you know who this princess is and how dare you stop me?" Princess Lanyang shouted angrily.
"Aren't you Mrs. Dongping Bo Shizi, who maliciously defaulted on your dues and tried to steal our jewelry..." The young man's voice was louder than that of Princess Lanyang, "Your behavior is so bad that you have been listed by our Yunzhuang Tower.
Enter the blacklist that prohibits communication.”
"You're talking nonsense!" Princess Lanyang was so angry that her face turned blue and white.
"I don't dare to talk nonsense. If you forget, we can go to Jingzhao Mansion to check the case files on the fifteenth day of the winter lunar month last year to see if they are exactly the same as what the villain said." The young man is not old, but he is very talkative.
Yunzhuang Tower was already full of customers, and soon a crowd of onlookers gathered at the door. Most of the people who could spend money at Yunzhuang Tower were from wealthy families, and almost all of them recognized Princess Lanyang. After listening to the young man’s words earlier,
They didn't believe it. But later they heard that they all had criminal records in Jingzhao Mansion, and they were all shocked, and all kinds of sarcastic remarks came one after another——
"I have long heard that Princess Lanyang is arrogant and domineering, but I didn't expect that she would dare to go to the store to rob. This is more than just domineering..."
"Has Dongping Bo's mansion declined to the point where it can no longer afford membership fees or buy jewelry?"
"On the fifteenth day of the winter lunar month, I haven't married into Uncle Dongping's house yet..."
"That's Duke Anguo's Mansion..."
When Princess Lanyang heard these comments, she almost fainted and passed away. The maid Xing'er quickly helped her into the carriage and wanted to leave here quickly. However, there were many carriages in front of Yunzhuang Tower, so she couldn't walk fast at all.
Mingruo didn't expect that what happened that day would end up in Jingzhao Mansion. His Highness Prince Yun's money was really not easy to cheat.
"Ah." Ming Ruo was happily watching the show when Si Haochen carried him up and down and stuffed him into the carriage.
Mingruo shook his slightly confused head: "You, you, you, you robbed women in the street!"
Si Haochen held Mingruo in his arms: "Why don't we talk about who this king is destined to be with, eh?"
"Are you a dinosaur? Are your reflex arcs so long?" From Mingruo's point of view, this topic has been closed for a long time, so why are you still looking for consequences?
Si Haochen frowned slightly. It was true that there was a 'dragon' in the zodiac sign, but this 'dinosaur' didn't sound like a good thing at first glance: "What kind of dragon is a dinosaur?"
"Ahem." As long as we don't talk about 'who we are destined to be with', it's nothing to talk about.
Mingruo vividly talks about dinosaurs, "Dinosaurs are giant lizard-like creatures with bodies as big as a two-story building, but brains the size of walnuts. According to legend, when two dinosaurs fight, they often fight to the death. Because they
My brain is small and slow to react. I didn’t feel it at the time I was injured, but I didn’t realize it hurt until half an hour later..."
"Haha." Si Haochen smiled and approached Mingruo, "I am a dinosaur..."
