Chapter 153 Shopping
When Jiang Yuerou talked about her future husband, her voice lowered and her face became even more flushed.
"The Pingjiang Marquisate has been very prestigious for many years, and there's even a family rule that states a man can only take a concubine if he's forty and childless. You'll only enjoy a life of luxury after you marry into the family. Thinking of this, I can rest assured."
"I also heard that Yu Sheng has been busy preparing for the wedding banquet himself lately, which shows how much he cares about you."
(Those of you who have been following the update may be confused about Yu Sheng. I just changed it because I found that Lin Sheng and Fengguo Mansion have the same surname. They were all exterminated and exiled. So I changed it. Pingjiang Marquis Mansion has the surname Yu. There are still many scenes to follow. PS: I buried a lot of plot holes. Do you still remember it? [snickering])
Jiang Yuerou's ears were getting hotter and hotter, and she lowered her head shyly, "Sister, please don't say anything for now. If he really treats me sincerely after marriage, then I will definitely not let him down."
If she could really grow old with Yu Sheng, then all the hardships she had endured over the past ten years would be truly worth it. There is nothing better than the saying "bitter first, sweet later".
Jiang Qingning looked at her bright smile, a hint of warmth in his eyes, and he gently patted her hand:
"Don't worry, I will pick out a few perfect dowry items for you today. Jinyu Pavilion is my business, so just take whatever you like today."
Jiang Yuerou's eyes were red: "Thank you, big sister. If you hadn't helped me from both inside and outside, I might have really been hanged with a white silk..."
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Qingning raised his hand to her lips and shook his head, saying, "Don't say such unlucky words. The bride should be happy."
"That's right, Sister Rou, what Sister said is right. Besides, Sister treats us well, so we will treat her better."
Jiang Qingxi smiled secretly, and the expectation in her eyes could not be concealed.
Jiang Qingning looked down at her little sister who was leaning against her, and her voice softened. "You haven't reached marriage age yet, so it's not appropriate for you to dress up so much. I'll pick out some beautiful pearl flowers for you later, okay?"
"Okay, I want the butterfly, dragonfly, and pearl ones. Can you buy me all the pretty ones, sister?"
Jiang Qingxi immediately raised his head excitedly and answered in a crisp tone, his eyes full of anticipation.
The carriage stopped steadily in front of the grand and bustling gate of Jinyu Pavilion.
A sharp-eyed waiter came forward and respectfully led the three distinguished female guests inside.
"Boss, you are here to check the accounts today?" When the waiter saw the token on her waist, he immediately became more obedient.
"I'm just here to pick out some jewelry. Where's Shopkeeper Liu?"
Jiang Qingning looked around and saw the enthusiastic guests and salesmen, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
"The shopkeeper has to receive guests on the second floor. I'll go and call him right away!" the waiter said hurriedly, bowing.
"No need to trouble you. I remember that you are Manager Liu's apprentice. You will be the one to receive them."
Jiang Qingning thought of what Manager Liu said and offered him a chance.
The waiter said excitedly, "Yes! I'll have someone bring you some tea right away. Ladies, please come this way."
Jiang Qingning nodded, turned around and looked around at her most profitable jewelry store, feeling extremely satisfied.
Jinyu Pavilion is worthy of being the top jewelry store in Beijing. The interior space is spacious and the decoration is luxurious yet unconventional.
The rosewood treasure chest is filled with all kinds of treasures, including gold, jade, emerald, pearls and agate. The large items on the counter are even more dazzling, and the huge luminous pearls sparkle in the candlelight.
The air was filled with the faint scent of sandalwood and cosmetics, and the people coming and going were all noble ladies and young ladies from wealthy families, who were very generous with their money.
Jiang Qingning nodded secretly, thinking about asking someone to check what kind of perfume this was. She didn't have it in her cosmetics shop, so she had to come up with a better product and put it on the shelves as quickly as possible.
She looked back.
Jiang Yuerou was attracted by a set of red gold headdress inlaid with huge oriental pearls and with intricate and gorgeous craftsmanship. She pulled Jiang Qingxi to the front of the counter to take a closer look. The clerk immediately took it out for her to try on.
Jiang Qingning walked slowly, his eyes calmly sweeping over the dazzling ornaments, his expression without much disturbance.
At this moment,
A burst of sharp and piercing scolding rang out.
"You lowly creature, you short-sighted thing, what are you looking at? Is this what you can even dream of?"
"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself for what a filthy thing you are? Get away from me and don't pollute this lady's eyes!"
The arrogant voice came from the VIP area by the window on the second floor, and the tone was so contemptuous that it made people choke.
Jiang Qingning frowned slightly, walked up the steps to the side, stood on the curved staircase, and looked up.
I saw a young woman wearing luxurious Shu brocade and with a bulging belly standing with her hands on her hips.
She had delicate makeup on, her hair was covered with jewels, and her face looked a little distorted because of her anger.
Coincidentally, Jiang Qingning raised her eyebrows slightly. This was her good cousin Jiang Ruyi.
The next moment, her eyes paused and looked at Jiang Ruyi's belly.
She was already seven months pregnant, but her belly was surprisingly large, like a giant ball, forming a strange contrast with her slightly swollen limbs.
The person in front of her who she was scolding and pointing at was a thin woman wearing a light blue fine cloth dress, standing beside her with lowered eyebrows and a submissive look.
The woman had a beautiful face and a pitiful charm. At this moment, her face was pale and there were tears in her eyes. It was Bai Qingyi.
Bai Qingyi was holding an open brocade box in her hand, which contained what appeared to be a jade hairpin of good quality.
She obviously just wanted to take a look, but was met with unbearable insults from Jiang Ruyi.
Many ladies and young ladies around were attracted by the commotion and were looking sideways and pointing.
"Madam, please calm down. I... I just..." Bai Qingyi's voice was filled with tears as she tried to defend herself timidly.
"It's just what? You're a born slut. You think you can fly to the top just by climbing into my husband's bed. Bah!"
Jiang Ruyi's scolding became more and more unpleasant, and her saliva almost sprayed on Bai Qingyi's face. She suddenly raised her hand and said, "I told you to watch. I told you to seduce my husband!"
It seemed that she was about to slap Bai Qingyi hard in the face.
Bai Qingyi was like a frightened rabbit, subconsciously trying to dodge backwards. Her eyes swept around in panic, and she bumped into Jiang Qingning, who had just walked up to the second floor and was looking at her calmly.
However, she clearly saw that Jiang Qingning's gaze did not stop at her face, but fell on Jiang Ruyi's unusually large pregnant belly. His brows were furrowed, as if he was about to speak.
Bai Qingyi's pupils suddenly shrank.
Did Jiang Qingning figure it out?
A huge fear surged into Bai Qingyi's heart, and in an instant she forgot to dodge.
She suddenly took a step sideways and used her thin body to block Jiang Qingning's sight.
This abrupt and obvious covering action seemed like a provocation to Jiang Ruyi.
"Bitch! How dare you stop me?"
Jiang Ruyi's anger was instantly ignited.
“Bang!”
An extremely crisp and loud slap landed heavily on Bai Qingyi's pale face.
The force was so great that Bai Qingyi staggered and fell onto the rosewood shelf next to her that displayed jewelry.
The brocade box flew out of his hand, and the jade hairpin inside fell to the ground and broke into two pieces with a snap.
