The necklace is adorned with pearls at the end, with a slightly longer silver thread on the central pearl at the neck, while the others dangle in varying lengths, complementing the two hairpin ornaments. It is simple yet elegant, making it a favorite among noblewomen.

However, the price is prohibitive. It's adorned with pearls, so it can't be cheap. Even without a price tag, you can imagine how expensive it is.

He couldn't afford the two exorbitantly priced clothes and the floral crown, but he should be able to get this piece of jewelry. So Wei Jingyue immediately offered to buy it and give it to Xue Qingluan.

Wei Jingran nudged Wei Jingyue, signaling him to take it easy, as everything here was incredibly expensive.

Even this seemingly simple lotus pearl silver ornament probably won't be cheap.

Wei Jingran was genuinely interested in the goods here; he simply looked at them without daring to make a bid.

Xue Qingluan shook her head at Wei Jingyue, a gentle and polite smile on her lips, "I dare not accept something so valuable."

She really liked this set of lotus silver jewelry, but she didn't want to get entangled with Wei Jingyue because of it.

The two families originally intended to be on good terms.

She just hasn't made a statement yet.

Her father and mother had always hoped that she could marry into the Wei family.

In her parents' eyes, Xue Qingluan was a perfect match for the Wei family.

But she didn't like Wei Jingyue, so she never agreed.

Compared to Wei Jingyue, she felt she preferred the rising star, the young master of the He family.

His demeanor was far superior to Wei Jingyue's.

Although he came from a merchant family, his demeanor was completely devoid of any trace of materialism.

If the threshold for the young master of the He family were higher, and he had the status of a prestigious family like the Wei family, she would definitely be tempted.

It's just a pity.

No matter how refined one's manners are, he's still just a merchant.

She had never seen anyone who possessed both the demeanor of the young master of the He family and the family background of the young master of the Wei family.

She wanted to wait and see; after all, she was at an age where there was no rush, and what if she met someone she liked?

She didn't want to prematurely conclude her own fate.

Seeing that Xue Qingluan's gaze hadn't left the lotus silver ornament, Wei Jingyue picked up a pen from the counter, hesitated for a moment, and carefully wrote a number on the paper.

A thousand taels might not be enough to buy that robe, but it should be enough to buy this set of silver jewelry, right?

After thinking it over, I felt that throwing out a thousand taels was a bit too much. I should be more cautious and write down five hundred taels. If five hundred taels is not enough, I can gradually increase it.

If this set of silver jewelry could be bought for five hundred taels, but he wrote down one thousand taels, wouldn't that mean he would have to spend another five hundred taels of silver for nothing? It's really not worth it.

Of course, repeatedly raising the valuation would be somewhat embarrassing for the surrounding prominent families and clans, as it would seem like they were being stingy.

After repeated attempts to test the waters, buying this set of silver jewelry no longer felt like something to be proud of.

But let's estimate the price first, just to get a rough idea.

Therefore, Wei Jingyue wrote down five hundred taels.

The sales assistant shook her head.

Wei Jingran, who was watching from the side, frowned slightly. She had seen her brother write down the prices on the table with her own eyes. Five hundred taels of silver was not enough to buy anything. The things here were really expensive. If you wanted to buy something here, you really couldn't get in without capital.

A single purchase can drain your wallet.

When Wei Jingyue saw the sales assistant shake her head, he felt a little uneasy. With so many people watching, he couldn't keep guessing the price.

With a heavy heart and gritting his teeth, Wei Jingyue picked up his pen again and wrote down seven hundred taels.

The sales assistant still shook her head.

Wei Jingyue's heart sank, but he was also somewhat relieved that he hadn't written down six hundred taels. Otherwise, if he had tried to get seven hundred taels after three attempts, and still couldn't get it, it would have been a huge embarrassment.

This time, Wei Jingyue hesitated for a while, and after much deliberation, he wrote down another thousand taels.

Surely we can get this thousand taels of silver?

Xue Qingluan's eyes flickered slightly, as if she glanced at Wei Jingyue's paper, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she subtly withdrew her gaze.

The things here are really not things that aristocratic families can afford to spend money on.

However, the items here are truly exquisite and ingenious. Each item is so unique and original, with its own distinctive charm.

When the sales assistant shook her head again, Xue Qingluan felt a slight tremor in her heart.

Can't you even get a thousand taels of silver?

Wei Jingyue's hand trembled slightly as he held the pen. He really couldn't write anymore; he couldn't raise the price much further after it exceeded one thousand taels of silver.

I wonder if I can afford 1,200 taels?

He gritted his teeth and emptied his purse, writing down 1,200 taels.

Seeing the sales assistant continue to shake her head, Wei Jingyue put down his pen with a frustrated expression.

He really embarrassed himself here; several times when he wrote down prices, he failed to match the other person's standards.

This guessing game is about saving face, but even more so, it's about luck.

If you're lucky enough to write something that fits their standards, you'll be able to get it.

If you're unlucky and make a huge mistake, you might end up losing everything in the process of saving face.

This place is basically a game for people who want to show off their status and wealth.

Clearly, this is not something a small, aristocratic family like his can afford to do.

He originally wanted to show off in front of Xue Qingluan, but he didn't expect to lose face and expose his true colors. He really made a fool of himself.

From now on, wherever I take Xue Qingluan, we can't come to this awful place again.

It's so bad it's almost traumatic.

Helsin glanced at Wei Jingyue, taking in his frustrated and defeated expression.

He originally intended to acquire this set of lotus silver ornaments as a gift for Xue Qingluan, as he felt they would suit her well. However, seeing that Wei Jingyue had suffered repeated defeats, he decided against pursuing the ornaments.

He intended to save face for the other person; he couldn't very well just buy a set of silver jewelry that the other person had failed to acquire several times in one go, could he?

This would be a blatant slap in the face to the young master of the Wei family.

So Helsin turned his attention to a set of jade jewelry next to him. This set of jade jewelry was a pink set, consisting of a pink jade bracelet, pink beaded earrings, pink beads with wheat ear tassels, and a pink hairpin.

The design is simple and elegant, with long wheat tassels hanging from the end of the hairpin, giving it a slightly playful and refreshing look.

This set of jewelry is actually not suitable for Xue Qingluan.

On the contrary, it was more suitable for Wei Jingran, who was standing next to Xue Qingluan.

But now that he's interested in pursuing Xue Qingluan, he naturally plans to buy it and give it to her.
