Does my father think that he can get rid of himself by just giving him a set of headgear?
Xue Xiang was secretly resentful and did not take the seal for a long time.
In the past, she would have been extremely happy, but now, if she accepted the seal, it would mean that she could no longer have any objections to the matter!
Mrs. Xue next to her nudged her arm, signaling her not to argue with Xue Jing and to quickly take the seal.
Xue Xiang bit her lip, took it reluctantly, and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you, father."
Xue Jing patted her shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Xiang'er has grown up and become sensible."
However, after hearing this, Xue Xiang frowned in disgust. Who wants such a sensible person?
Holding the seal, Xue Xiang withdrew a full five thousand taels of silver from the accountant.
Such a large sum of money was enough to buy a decent dowry for his daughter when she got married, but Xue Xiang squandered it on jewelry.
When Xue Jing learned about this, he frowned, but then relaxed again. If this money could stop the willful Xiang'er from causing trouble, it would be worth it.
The fear is that she will spend the money but feel unfair and want to cause trouble for him as her father.
"Xue Qi, go stay with Xiang'er and help me watch her. Don't let her get carried away by jealousy and do anything irrational."
No one knows a daughter better than her father. Xue Jing knew Xue Xiang's personality very well and knew that she would never watch Xue Wan or Xue Xiu, two concubines' daughters, step on her head.
It's harmless for a girl to show some temper, but if she ruins his plans, he will not forgive her!
Thinking of this, a gloomy look appeared in Xue Jing's eyes.
Xue Xiang, who was leaving with the money, didn't know all this. She took a carriage to Zhu Qige, the most high-end and luxurious jewelry store in Pengcheng. The jewelry sold there were the latest styles. Every time a new product came out, it would attract the ladies and ladies of the rich families in the city to flock to it.
If anyone goes out without one or two pieces of Zhu Qige jewelry, he will be laughed at by people in the circle.
Xue Xiang was a frequent visitor to Zhu Qi Pavilion. As soon as she entered, a maid came up to greet her with a smile: "Miss Xue, please come in. You haven't been here for a while. Zhu Qi Pavilion has released several new products recently. Can I show them to you?"
Xue Xiang's expression relaxed a little after being complimented by the maid. He glanced around the hall and asked softly, "Is that set of glazed headdress I liked last time still available?"
Maid: "Yes, yes, I've kept it for you. I'll get it out for you to look at."
The maid went to get the jewelry, and Xue Xiang strolled around the lobby casually. Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a set of gorgeous and ethereal jewelry displayed on the counter.
That set of jewelry was made of a purple gemstone, sparkling and shining. When she saw it, a voice in her heart sounded, she must get it!
She couldn't help but walk closer and admire it carefully, her eyes showing fascination and intoxication. She was not the only one attracted by this set of jewelry. Many ladies and young ladies gathered around, all of whom were immersed in this set of incomparably beautiful jewelry.
"How much is this set of jewelry?" Xue Xiang asked.
The maid smiled and replied, "Miss Xue, this set of jewelry was custom-made by the customer herself, using the materials. It's not for sale, and she'll be picking it up today. Our shopkeeper is so infatuated with it that we kindly ask for your permission to display it so more people can see its beauty."
Beautiful things should be displayed for everyone to share.
Although you may not be able to get it, it is also a kind of luck to be able to see it and feast your eyes.
That’s what the shopkeeper thought.
At the same time, they can also showcase the superb skills of their master Zhu Qige and attract more customers to customize jewelry in order to achieve the goal of expanding business.
Xue Xiang was very disappointed after hearing this. His eyes fell on the set of jewelry, but he still couldn't pull it out.
At this time, the maid who had received her before came out with an exquisite jewelry box, invited Xue Xiang to a separate reception room, opened the jewelry box, and took out the exquisite jewelry from it.
This entire set of jewelry was made of pure and transparent glass, which would emit colorful light under the sun. Originally, Xue Xiang loved this set of jewelry very much, but unfortunately, it cost one thousand five hundred taels. Her usual monthly allowance was only three taels. How could she have so much money to buy it?
So I watched it again and again, but in the end I had no choice but to give up.
After returning, she wanted to get money from Madam Xue, but although Madam Xue doted on her, she was reluctant to spend 1,500 taels of silver to buy her a set of jewelry. Wouldn't it be nice to use such a large sum of money to buy a yard or a shop?
That set of glass headdress is actually just that, she likes it very much now, but she probably won't wear it many times after buying it.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xue did not buy it for her daughter.
What you can't get is the best. Xue Xiang has been thinking about this set of glass headdress for a while.
Now she finally has the money to buy it, but after seeing that set of purple gemstone jewelry, she looks at this set of glass headdress and feels that it pales in comparison. She suddenly doesn't like it as much anymore.
When the two sets of jewelry were placed together, the glass headpiece instantly looked dim.
Xue Xiang asked unwillingly, "Are you really not selling that set of purple gemstone headpieces?"
The maid smiled and shook her head: "Please forgive me, Miss Xue. Even if we at Zhu Qi Pavilion wanted to sell it, we can't, unless you can convince the owner of this set of jewelry."
Xue Xiang's eyes lit up. Yes, if the owner of the jewelry was willing to sell it to her, wouldn't she get what she wanted?
"When will the owner of the jewelry come?"
Maid: "The appointment is at 10:00 AM. The guests should be arriving soon."
It is already 2:15 pm, and the guests should arrive in another 2:15, if they are on time.
Speak of the devil, and here comes the man who makes custom jewelry.
It was Yuan Xi.
Half a month ago, he took out a fist-sized star stone from the Sumeru Ring and personally designed a set of jewelry patterns, from hairpins, earrings to bracelets and anklets, a total of eighteen items, and gave them to Zhu Qige to make them.
Tianxing Stone is a metal from outer space. It looks like a gem, but is actually much harder and more pressure-resistant than a gem. It also has its own unique effects - detoxification, beauty, and calming the mind.
Detoxification has two meanings, one is to allow the toxins in the wearer's body to be discharged, and the other is to repel external poisons from approaching. Once poisons approach, the Tianxing Stone will become hot. Through this feature, people who wear Tianxing Stone can be alert in advance.
Tianxing Stone itself is extremely rare, let alone being made into such a beautiful set of jewelry.
Xue Huan also came with Yuan Xi. Thirteen, dressed in black and with a cold face, followed behind Xue Huan as a maid.
