Ye Mingzhu transmigrated to become a low-status pearl diver. She had no parents, only a young brother, and was without food, drink, or land.
Fortunately, the heavens granted her a golden fing...
Chapter 373 You Can’t Wear It
Ye Mingzhu wanted to refuse, but Wang Dahu started to feel around in his purse again: "Is there a little silver?"
"Uncle, I'm going to buy some dowry for my aunt. How can I let you pay for it? Who the hell am I?" Ye Mingzhu stuffed the banknote back directly.
"If others knew about this, they would definitely think I was ignorant of etiquette. Since it's a gift for my aunt-in-law, I have to pay for it myself."
Wang Dahu's outstretched hand stopped, and Ye Mingzhu took the opportunity to walk out: "Uncle, I will bring you some delicious food when I come back."
"Let Qiu Sheng drive the car. If anything happens, ask him to come back and find someone." Wang Dahu shouted from behind.
Ye Mingzhu turned around and smiled at him, then left with Chun Xing.
When Jian Pingping saw Ye Mingzhu, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, as if he had seen a relative.
"Last time you were in a hurry and we didn't talk much. After you buy the jewelry, let's go to the teahouse for tea."
Ye Mingzhu asked with concern: "Has anyone else gone there to cause trouble recently?"
"No, the matter has been resolved." Jian Pingping said a few simple words and then talked about the purpose of today. She wanted to choose a dowry gift for Jiang Yue and asked Ye Mingzhu to help her with some advice.
Although Jiang Yue was marrying Wang Dahu and would soon be his aunt-in-law, she had a very good impression of Jiang Yue and planned to buy her a piece of jewelry.
It was also a coincidence that when the two of them arrived at Linglong Pavilion, Du Juan was just seeing off a guest. Seeing them, she was stunned for a moment before coming over to greet them: "Ladies, please come in. We have some new jewelry in our shop."
Jian Pingping also remembered his last experience here and looked around unconsciously.
Du Juan thought they felt that there were too many people around, so she led them directly to the compartment and asked, "What kind of jewelry do you two girls want today?"
Ye Mingzhu knew that Du Juan recognized them, and said with a smile that she wanted to give some gifts to her friends and asked Du Juan to introduce some to them.
Du Juan thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Generally, people of the same age give small pieces of jewelry as gifts, such as hairpins, bracelets, etc. Some also give necklaces. It depends on what the girl wants."
Jian Pingping has a wealthy family and has earned some money during this period. Ye Mingzhu has a lot of silver and money in her space. Both of them asked Du Juan to choose something exquisite and luxurious.
Although the last time was not very pleasant, Jian Pingping bought a lot of jewelry, which let Du Juan know that this was a wealthy man, so she acted quickly. In just a few breaths, she brought some exquisite jewelry.
Jian Pingping almost instantly fell in love with a hairpin inlaid with rubies. The matching earrings, inlaid with tiny rubies, looked exquisite and luxurious.
Du Juan immediately complimented, "This hairpin and the gemstones on the earrings came together. If there weren't so few gemstones, they would definitely be made into a set of jewelry. You two are giving them to Tianzhuangli, so these two pieces are very suitable."
These two pieces of jewelry are almost the most exquisite among all the jewelry Du Juan brought. The others are beautiful, but they have no special features, so Ye Mingzhu did not like them.
Jian Pingping asked Du Juan to pack up the ruby hairpin and earrings first, and then brought some other jewelry for the two to choose from.
Dujuan went out with the jewelry with a smile, but she didn't come back for half a cup of tea.
Jian Pingping and Ye Mingzhu were both a little surprised. Du Juan came in with a pale face. She first put a brocade box in front of Jian Pingping and asked her to check the ruby hairpin and earrings. She also took out a few pieces of jewelry for Ye Mingzhu to choose from.
Someone knocked on the door outside. A hint of helplessness flashed in Dujuan's eyes, but she still got up to open the door.
Jian Pingping and Ye Mingzhu gathered together to look at the new jewelry. A charming female voice raised its voice: "Sister Qing, the hairpin you just liked was bought by them."
Jian Pingping and Ye Mingzhu looked up almost reflexively, and saw Mei'er and Xu Mengqing standing outside the door.
This is really a narrow road for enemies to meet. The two of them were just buying a hairpin, and I don’t know why they are making trouble again.
Mei'er also saw the two of them clearly, and her voice was full of anger: "Jian Pingping, what do you mean? You knew that my cousin came to buy a hairpin for Sister Qing, and you also followed him here. Is this fun?"
"The brain is a good thing, don't keep it at home all the time." Jian Pingping was speechless about this cousin of the same age. She spoke without using her brain. She really didn't know how she grew up.
Mei'er was stunned for a moment before realizing that Jian Pingping was mocking her. She wanted to rush in angrily, but was stopped by Dujuan.
"Miss, I just told you that the hairpin has been bought by someone."
"Did she buy it? Let her give it up." Mei'er pointed at Jian Pingping and said as a matter of course.
Jian Pingping ignored her and closed the brocade box.
"Jian Pingping, that's a bright red gem. You can't wear it. Take it out quickly." Mei'er was as arrogant as ever.
Jian Pingping didn't want to pay attention to Mei'er and was no longer in the mood to buy jewelry. She asked Ye Mingzhu, and the two of them stood up and prepared to pay the bill.
Xu Mengqing pulled Mei'er's sleeve and said, "Mei'er, since she has already chosen the hairpin, forget it."
Having said that, she kept her eyes fixed on the brocade box, telling everyone with her actions that she really liked the jewelry.
Ye Mingzhu really wanted to say, where did this green tea come from? It's too artificial.
Mei'er blocked the door and insisted that Jian Pingping give up the jewelry before she let the two of them go.
Dujuan was so anxious that she was about to cry. She no longer had the joy she had just felt from selling the jewelry.
"What's going on? Didn't you say you liked a hairpin? Why are you standing at the door? Why don't you come in and sit down?" Zheng Yuang's voice sounded at the door.
Jian Pingping suddenly stopped being in a hurry to leave and simply sat back, waiting for Zheng Yuang to come in.
Mei'er complained to Zheng Yuang with a look of grievance: "Cousin, the jewelry we liked was snatched away by Jian Pingping."
Ye Mingzhu asked Du Juan, "Who has taken advantage of Linglong Pavilion's rules? As long as they haven't left the shop, can they just rob it?"
"No." Du Juan answered quickly, fearing that speaking too late would affect Linglong Pavilion's business.
"The two girls inside first took a fancy to that hairpin, and it has already been wrapped up for them."
Zheng Yuang also saw Jian Pingping and Ye Mingzhu sitting inside, and he felt extremely embarrassed.
"It's just a hairpin. Look at something else."
"Cousin, Sister Qing lost her hairpin. You promised to buy her one, and she fell in love with that hairpin. Please ask Jian Pingping to give it up."
Mei'er glanced at Xu Mengqing and acted coquettishly towards Zheng Yuang.
"This..." Zheng Yuang hesitated. His upbringing prevented him from doing such a thing.
"Cousin, that hairpin is inlaid with rubies. Even if Jian Pingping buys it, she can't wear it. It's better to give it to her." Mei'er looked at Jian Pingping in the room proudly.
