Because it was made of silver, it was not uncommon in the bustling city of Fengjing, so the guests coming and going included young ladies from noble families as well as ordinary commoners.
Jiang Sheng led Jiang San into the store without any hindrance, picking and choosing among the countless silver ornaments.
It was here that she discovered there were so many different styles of silver jewelry.
There were hair ornaments made of silver, phoenix crowns with openwork and silk threads, and even official hats carved with silver. I wonder which lord would be willing to wear them on his head.
Jiang Sheng muttered to herself as she stopped in the hairpin area.

Jiang Sheng was overjoyed and rushed over in a few steps. "Sister Yao, I've been waiting for you!"
"Oh my, it's Jiang Sheng." Yao Siqing was startled. After realizing what was happening, she pulled her out of the jewelry store. "What are you doing here? Her things aren't cheap."
Jiang Sheng smiled and presented the heavy silver hairpin, "I picked this out for my sister."
Completely overlooked, Yao Siqing never asked her how she knew her name.
