Baozhu Pavilion has always been a good business, and the shop assistants and maids are all quite good-looking.

They wore clothes of the same color scheme, making it easier for customers to find the jewelry quickly.

Lu Qiqi looked around the layout of the Jewel Pavilion and found that the wooden shelves displaying each piece of jewelry in the first-floor showroom seemed to have been deliberately designed.

It allows people to appreciate the jewelry intuitively without overwhelming them, and even categorizes the jewelry by type.

Lu Yao excitedly tugged at her sleeve and quickly walked to the antique shelf displaying sandalwood ornaments and small trinkets.

When her eyes swept over the sandalwood hairpin in front of her, she realized that the manager of Baozhu Pavilion was simply a remarkable person.

The rosewood hairpins displayed on the antique shelves each have a price written on glutinous rice paper and attached to them for customers to choose from.

While sandalwood hairpins vary in price, they are all displayed together, and their quality is not determined by their price.

In this way, even if guests have limited funds, they can still fully appreciate the finest hairpins.

Similarly, cheaper hairpins are naturally not as beautiful or of higher price.

If one has enough money, one will definitely choose a more exquisite hairpin.

It has to be said that this marketing strategy perfectly captures the hearts of women who love pretty accessories.

This shows that the person who runs this Treasure Pavilion is an extremely intelligent person who also understands women's minds very well.

"Sister, there are a few peach blossoms carved on this hairpin."

"Sister, this one looks pretty good too, it has Solomon's Seal on it."

"Sister, this phoenix feather hairpin is also beautiful."

"elder sister......"

Lu Yao rarely visits jewelry stores, but when she sees a pretty hairpin, she chatters excitedly in Lu Qiqi's ear like a magpie.

However, she was very well-mannered and knew that she should not make noise here, so her voice did not disturb others.

At the same time, two wealthy young ladies also walked towards the sandalwood ornaments.

The two women were dressed in blue and pink dresses, with elegant hair ornaments on their heads, and they walked with graceful steps and elegant postures.

"Miss, that woman ahead looks like a maid from the Marquis of Lin'an's residence. Qingdai."

Qingdai was considered a first-class maid in the First Madam's courtyard.

Serving by the side of the First Madam and accompanying her to various banquets and shops, she would become a familiar face in public, so it wouldn't be surprising if people recognized her.

One after another, the cousins ​​that the Marquis of Lin'an's family recognized became more and more famous in the capital.

Who else could have a first-class maidservant from the wife of the heir of the Marquis of Lin'an's mansion following behind to serve them, besides Princess Kangle and her sister?

Upon hearing the maid's words, Liao Shuer and Yan Huier exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other's thoughts.

Not only did the emperor demote their father's official position, but even more unexpectedly, he ordered the two officials to embroider a longevity painting at home, citing the Empress Dowager's birthday as the reason.

Since ancient times, women have been skilled in needlework, while men have been skilled in the Six Arts.

Their father, who had always been arrogant and aloof, was now unable to hold his head high in the court.

Both families became the laughing stock of the capital.

If it weren't for the fact that every spring, the ladies of noble families in the capital would hold banquets.

The purpose was to select a suitable daughter-in-law for their own household; otherwise, they wouldn't have gone out at this time.

Who wouldn't want to be dazzling at a banquet and find a good marriage partner?

Although they all admired the Crown Prince of Libei, there could only be one Crown Prince's consort.

They were wives of officials of the Qingliu faction, and they would never have been allowed to enter the mansion as concubines without the Emperor's decree.

Even if that person is the Crown Prince of Libei.

But the two smiling women in front of them were the ones who had caused their father to be humiliated. If they did not avenge this, they would be unworthy to be their children.

Yan Huier said, "Let's go and meet this Princess Kang Le."

As she spoke, Liao Shuer followed Yan Huier's footsteps and walked towards Lu Qiqi.

Lu Yao looked left and right, and finally held the two hairpins, somewhat undecided.

She held a phoenix feather hairpin in her left hand and a ruyi cloud hairpin in her right hand. She felt that both hairpins suited her sister's temperament very well.

Moreover, these two hairpins are the finest in the area, each costing 180 taels of silver.

She only had two hundred taels of silver in her purse, enough to buy just one.

These two hundred taels of silver were money given to her by her sister to ward off evil spirits during the New Year.

After thinking it over, Lu Yao finally handed the two hairpins to her sister, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Sister, I want to buy you a hairpin."

But I only have enough money in my pocket to buy one.

Seeing her flushed smiling face, Lu Qiqi was almost sweating with anxiety, thinking that something serious had happened.

Unexpectedly, I wanted to give her a sandalwood hairpin.

She glanced down at the hairpin, then smiled and asked, "Which one do you think Sister will like, Ayao?"

Lu Yao looked down and left and right, pondered for a moment, and handed her the Ruyi Cloud Hairpin, "Sister should like this hairpin, there is a gold ingot on it."

Wearing it will definitely bring you wealth and good fortune.

Lu Qiqi took the hairpin; the sandalwood emitted a unique woody fragrance.

She ran her thumb along the edge of the cloud pattern, where there was indeed a gold ingot.

However, this ingot is not the same as that ingot.

Instead, it bears the mark of Baozhu Pavilion, and a Bao character was carved on the hairpin by a master carpenter.

Lu Qiqi liked the meaning behind Lu Yao's words very much. She smiled and said, "Then let's choose this hairpin."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qingdai beckoned to the maids of Baozhu Pavilion.

Before the maid could get close, a sudden voice drew everyone's attention.

"Can you afford this sandalwood hairpin? Don't resort to any underhanded methods or develop a third hand!"

Upon hearing this, the guests in the first-floor hall of Baozhu Pavilion all gathered towards the center.

The people selecting jewelry on the first floor were mostly women, who were usually unemployed and staying at home.

When they hear such words, they are even more eager to join in the fun, wanting to see whose daughter it is, so that they can avoid any pitfalls when they get married in the future.

Since escaping the deserted road, Lu Yao had been well protected by Lu Qiqi. Hearing these words, her cheeks instantly turned red with anger.

Qingdai, eager to protect her mistress, raised her voice and said, "Ladies, do not speak nonsense and arbitrarily slander others!"

As soon as these words were spoken, some sharp-eyed people recognized Qingdai.

"Isn't this a maid from the Marquis of Lin'an's residence?"

"No wonder they looked so familiar, it turns out they're from the Marquis of Lin'an's residence again!"

"Are these two little girls Chen Wenjun's daughters? How come they're both so young and already behaving so badly!"

When Lu Changping caused a scandal at Baozhu Pavilion, although Baozhu Pavilion was willing to give face to the Marquis of Lin'an.

There were many noble families present, and the truth could not be hidden forever; the theft had already spread throughout the capital.

Lu Qiqi looked at the two women in front of her and falsely accused them of theft.

Regardless of the other party's intentions, they were deliberately trying to make her uncomfortable.

She said, "A mere hairpin is worth stealing? How uncultured are you, young lady?"
