What’s even more rare is that although most of the jewelry he selected were silver, there were also a few small gold pieces.
On the tray were silver bracelets, hairpins, pearl flowers, silver lockets, gold rings, gold earrings...
Now it was Qingtian's turn to be dazzled.
Although the few pieces of gold jewelry are relatively small, they are too dazzling compared to the silver jewelry. I can't take my eyes off them after seeing them on a sunny day.
"Brother Qin, what do you think of this?" Qingtian finally chose a pair of delicate orchid earrings. "I wonder if my mother will like it."
"This pair is very nice. Your mother will definitely look good wearing it." Qin Hexuan immediately affirmed, "Besides, as long as it's a gift from you, your mother will like it."
"Then let's take this pair!" Qingtian looked left and right, and liked them more and more.
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll find a box for you to put it in." Shopkeeper Zhou was about to get the box when Qin Hexuan stopped him again.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any new head ornaments for him? Bring them up and let me see them."
"Brother Qin, do you want to buy jewelry too?"
Qin Hexuan nodded and said, "Yes, thanks to Qingtian for reminding me. I think I should buy a gift for my mother as well."
"Then I'll help you pick!" Qingtian suddenly became energetic again.
Shopkeeper Zhou, upon hearing this, thought this was new business and asked hurriedly, "What price range are you looking for?"
"It doesn't matter. Just pick the expensive ones from your store and bring up the good ones."
The several shops owned by Qin Hexuan were already quite profitable.
Years ago, Linglong Pavilion became very popular in Beijing for launching Western building blocks, and gained a lot of fame.
In the six months since the Chinese New Year, our income has been more than double that of the same period last year.
So Qin Hexuan is now much more financially well-off than when he first returned to Beijing.
When Shopkeeper Zhou heard this, he immediately became excited and quickly asked someone to go to the warehouse to get a few boxes of complete sets of head ornaments and jewelry for Qin Hexuan to look at.
"These sets are all new styles that just came over from the south this year. They just arrived in our store and we haven't had time to put them out yet!"
"Wow, so beautiful!" Qingtian exclaimed in admiration, "I must make more money in the future and buy a set of jewelry like this for my mother."
Qin Hexuan didn't pour cold water on her, nor did he say anything like he would help her buy it. Instead, he encouraged her and said, "Then you must learn how to do business from Madam Lu."
"Of course." Qingtian agreed immediately and urged Qin Hexuan, "Brother Qin, hurry up and pick one!"
Qin Hexuan didn't really know much about jewelry. Looking at the sets in front of him, he felt that they were all similar and couldn't pick out which one was better. So he asked Qingtian, "Which one do you think is beautiful?"
Qingtian immediately fell into a dilemma.
“Both sets look great!”
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Zhou said hurriedly, "You have a very good eye. These two sets of head ornaments, one is engraved and the other is filigree, both require meticulous workmanship.
"These two sets of headgear were made by skilled craftsmen specially found in our store, who spent several months making them.
"Putting aside other things, if you look closely at the exquisite craftsmanship of this headpiece, you will know whether it is a good thing or not."
Qin Hexuan had to admit that the two sets of headgear chosen by Qingtian were indeed very exquisite and very suitable for Qin.
But wouldn’t it be too eye-catching to buy two sets of head jewelry at once?
When Qin Hexuan was struggling to decide how to choose one from them, he suddenly thought of Princess Rui.
I might as well buy both sets, one for Mrs. Qin and the other for my aunt.
After all, his aunt has been taking good care of him since he returned to Beijing.
Thinking of this, Qin Hexuan simply said, "Put these two sets of headgear on for me!"
When Shopkeeper Zhou heard this, his mouth almost cracked with laughter.
"Okay, I'll pack it for you.
"Do you want to take it away directly, or do you want us to send it to your house?"
Qin Hexuan took Qingtian downstairs and said, "Pack up the pair of gold earrings and take them away. Send the two sets of head jewelry directly to the Qin residence."
"Qin Mansion?" The shopkeeper next door, who had been staying in the shop, was stunned when he heard this. "Which Qin Mansion?"
Song Tao kindly helped him clear up his confusion and said, "Of course it's the Qin Mansion of Qin Songyin, the master of Qin!"
When the shopkeeper next door heard that it was the Qin Mansion, he felt his legs go weak.
Why didn’t these two little ancestors say it earlier!
If he had known that they were from the Qin Mansion, he would have warmly received them even if they had brought five cents of silver to buy something, let alone five taels of silver.
When the shopkeeper next door saw the two boxes in Manager Zhou's hands, he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
I just hate myself for not being able to recognize the great man.
But it was too late to regret now. Qin Hexuan had already taken Qingtian on the carriage and headed straight to the venue of the cooking competition.
There are only twenty contestants left in today's cooking competition, and the final ten who remain are all top chefs selected from hundreds of thousands.
Moreover, these ten people will enter the palace and demonstrate their cooking skills in front of the emperor and many Western envoys.
It is no exaggeration to say that it brings honor to the family.
Therefore, both the imperial court and the people paid close attention to this competition.
The judges invited today are also different from those in the past, including heavyweights such as Prince Rui and Qin Songyin.
Therefore, today's competition also attracted the attention of many officials and their families.
Wooden stands were built around the competition venue, with sunshades set up on top for people to watch the cooking competition.
