The Silver Shop is called the Silver Shop, but it sells more than just silver jewelry. It also sells various rare jades, gold hairpins, and gemstones.
There were no silver shops in the small county town, and there was only one in Zijing Mansion, which mainly sold all kinds of jewelry for men and women.
Hundreds of exquisitely crafted jewellery were spread out on the counter in the building. With red satin as the background, the dazzling brilliance of gold, silver, jade and various gemstones were all set off, making people dazzled and excited.
Gold and silver are both valuable assets, so in the silver shop, there are burly men guarding both sides of each counter to prevent bad guys from stealing.
However, most of the items displayed on the counter in the hall are silverware. The real good stuff is hidden in the heavy iron locked cabinets at the back, and only distinguished guests are allowed to go in and see the goods.
Qin Yao and his wife were dressed casually today, but they could not help but look at the full load of goods in Liu Ji's hands. The clerk caught a glimpse of the pile of silk cloth and looked at Qin Yao's calmness and lack of stage fright, and immediately guessed that this was a family with some wealth.
That's why I asked Qin Yao if she wanted to see the high-quality goods in the silver shop.
Who doesn’t like dazzling and gorgeous jewelry?
"Okay, I want to see it." Qin Yao nodded generously and said that she wanted to see it.
The clerk immediately called another one to take the goods from Liu Ji's hands. Liu Ji loosened his hands and shook his shoulders happily. He felt emotional in his heart that this was worthy of being a silver shop. Even this clerk was smarter than those elsewhere.
To see the valuables, a man who looked like a shopkeeper came to receive them. He politely found a man and a woman to touch the couple's bodies, and only after confirming that they were correct did he lead them in.
The inner room was even more magnificent. The entire hall was covered with bright red woolen carpets. Exquisite and shining hollow carved palace lanterns were hung on the ceiling. Silk curtains were hung all around, forming a number of figure eights.
Under the eight-shaped silk curtain, there are small tables for entertaining guests.
Seeing that there were guests coming, the maid immediately brought tea and snacks, all free of charge.
As soon as the guests take their seats, the shopkeeper will personally bring the things Qin Yao wants to see.
There were two other noble ladies in the hall. In order to avoid the sight of outsiders, they pulled down the curtains. Figures were swaying inside, and from time to time there were some flattering laughs.
The maids should be helping the hostess choose the style.
As soon as the shopkeeper left, Liu Ji's true colors were revealed. He looked around and whispered to Qin Yao, who was calmly drinking tea and taking a break, "Today is really an eye-opener."
Qin Yao looked around. This gorgeous scene was really nice. It felt a bit like shopping in a brand store.
The only pity is that there is only one shopping store like this in the city. It would be so cool if someone built a super-large shopping mall building.
Of course, Qin Yao was just thinking about it. If it really existed, with her current financial situation, she might not be able to afford it.
"Madam, what do you think the silver shop in the capital will be like?" Liu Ji asked curiously.
Qin Yao didn't answer, she didn't know either.
Liu Ji didn't want an answer. He had already imagined a scene in his mind that was bigger and more magnificent than the inner hall in front of him.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to imagine something that you have never seen. The most luxurious silver shop in the capital in his mind was just a floor covered with gold foil and palace lanterns made of the legendary night pearls.
Just as he was muttering to himself, the shopkeeper came over with the jewelry. Liu Ji immediately shut up, sat up straight, looked straight ahead, and looked as if to say, "I'm not interested in any of this."
The shopkeeper gently placed the tray on the small table and lit an extra candle and placed it next to it.
Under the light, a complete set of seven matching gold-inlaid ruby headpieces shone with moving light, catching the eyes of the couple.
Liu Ji clenched the corner of his clothes under the table and took a deep breath. His father couldn't even afford to buy him one even if he sold himself, right?
It turns out, it’s still affordable.
Qin Yao pointed to the smallest ruby hairpin and asked the price. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This whole set of hair ornaments is not sold separately. If you really like this hairpin, you can ask the goldsmith to make a new one for you, but you will have to wait for a while."
The shopkeeper hinted, "There are a lot of orders during the New Year, and the New Year is coming soon. I'm afraid you can't wait to wear it. Madam, would you like to try this headdress first? Madam, you look so noble, and this headdress can only be worn by someone like you."
Liu Ji glanced at the shopkeeper squatting in front of the table in surprise. He looked so noble? Are you sure you don't look so fierce? He can say anything he wants, and he's not afraid of his conscience burning in panic.
There was a lot of resentment next to her. Qin Yao turned around and glanced. Someone smiled at her like a flower and said considerately: "My lady, you are naturally beautiful. It will definitely look good on you. If you like it, try it."
Qin Yao's lips curled up into a satisfied smile, and the shopkeeper immediately waved his hand and called a waitress to help Qin Yao put on the jewelry.
Qin Yao had a simple bun tied up in a high ponytail. As she had had her hair cut once, her hair was neither long nor short. When the waitress took it off, she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly found a wig bag made of bristles for Qin Yao, and with her deft hands, she managed to make a high bun for her that looked very wealthy.
A set of head accessories includes two bracelets, a ring, a necklace, a hairpin, and a pair of hairpins.
The sizes of the bracelet and ring are generous, so Qin Yao can put them on easily. The gold and red color combination is luxurious and shiny.
But looking at her hands which had suddenly turned at least two shades darker, Qin Yao couldn't laugh.
She stopped wearing the necklace. It was winter and she was wearing thick clothes with high collars, which were a bit cumbersome. She compared them in front of her body. The shopkeeper personally held up a bronze mirror for her. Qin Yao looked embarrassed. She looked like a nouveau riche. It was not good-looking!
The shopkeeper was about to offer words of praise, but with such an expression on his face, he was too embarrassed to utter them.
She wore a hairpin on her head and a pin on her cheek, with tassels made of gold leaves swaying gracefully.
The step-shaking ornaments are beautiful.
But Qin Yao's face without makeup, against the backdrop of her hairpin, always looked indescribably strange.
Finally, he put on the two gold hairpins and inserted them into the high bun in the middle of his head. Liu Ji stretched his head out of curiosity to have a look. The corners of his mouth twitched violently. He looked ten years older for no reason!
"How about we look at something else?" Liu Ji spoke cautiously.
The shopkeeper was finally saved. His frozen mouth corners recovered. Fearing that the customer would be angry to death, he quickly followed Liu Ji's words and said, "Madam, we have other jade and silver ornaments in our store. Can you please take a look at some?"
"Okay." Qin Yao replied hesitantly.
She didn't blame the jewelry for being ugly, but only blamed the fact that her aura was incompatible with the headwear. People are people, and jewelry is jewelry.
The waitress hurriedly took off the jewelry on her body and put it away, then used her own hair to make a simple bun for Qin Yao, and picked out two strands of hair on the side to add a bit of lively and natural feeling, trying to match her personality.
Qin Yao had nothing to say about the service, and she was looking forward to the second set of jewelry. (End of this chapter)
