Chapter 773 All
Manbao's eyes lit up slightly, and she said to her father confidently, "Dad, wait, I'll go back and get it for you."
After saying that, he ran back to his room.
Old Zhou's expression looked better. It turned out that he didn't buy it, but forgot to bring it. This one is okay.
Manbao ran back to the room. The seller had already sent him a lot of pictures and explanations. He said, "The jewelry suitable for men to wear includes rings, bracelets, hair crowns, etc. You can take a look. The materials we use are all very good, and the workmanship is good. These things are so cheap, and you are also using them for acting. I guarantee that they can still be used after one or two times."
Manbao finally remembered after seeing the explanation and replied unhappily, "It can't even be used once or twice. I haven't even used it yet and the gems and petals have fallen off. You only said it was a practice piece, but you didn't say it didn't even stick."
"Hey, did it fall off?" The seller said, feeling a little guilty. "I've been making those pieces of jewelry for years. They might have been sitting there for too long. How about I send you some glue and a few more things? Just pick something out of here."
But Manbao looked at the items on the list with a confused look on his face. He asked Keke, "What is a ring? It's not convenient to work with it on your hand, right? The color of this bracelet is very beautiful, shouldn't it be worn by girls? Can my dad wear it too? A hair crown, this hair crown..."
This hair crown, let alone her father, even people like County Magistrate Yang and County Magistrate Tang probably can't wear it out, right?
But it does look very nice.
Manbao looked at the pictures and was eager to try them. He touched his head and rolled his eyes, "Give me three of these first. I think the quality is good. What if one breaks when I wear it? Wouldn't that make my hair messy?"
The seller, unaware that the buyer was in another world, replied nonchalantly, "Having your hair down is fine too. It's another way to play makeup. It's great. Just adapt to the situation."
Manbao was already accustomed to their words. After selecting three that she thought were most suitable for her and Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, she began to think seriously about what gifts she should buy for her father and her brothers.
Koko stayed quietly in her mind, motionless. Manbao flipped through all the limited pictures and couldn't help asking, "Are these the only ones you have here? Nothing else?"
“Yes,” the seller replied, “but if you don’t like these, you’ll be even less interested in the ones that aren’t on the shelves.”
Manbao was skeptical about the aesthetics of future people and asked, "What else is there?"
The seller advised: "Actually, these rings of mine are well made. Although the patterns may have some flaws, they are all handmade. If you are giving them to an unimportant male friend, they are still presentable."
Manbao said: "It's very important. They are my father and my brother, the kind of relatives."
The seller felt more relieved upon hearing this. He threw out a few laughing emojis and said, "That's even easier. Just pick whatever you want. It's a gift for your loved ones. What matters is the creativity and the thought. I believe they will like whatever you give them. These rings and bracelets are very good. The ancients loved this kind of material and style. Is everyone in your family a fan of ancient costumes?"
Manbao replied seriously: "No, our family are all lovers of ancient times."
There was silence on the other side for a long time. Just when Manbao couldn't help but want to poke him, a bunch of pictures popped out of the dialog box. Manbao opened them one by one and saw that they were all a mess of things.
There are belts decorated with glass beads, hairbands of various patterns, various hairpins and hair crowns for men, as well as various styles of clothes, robes and cloaks.
The seller said excitedly, "These are all my practice items when I first opened the shop. Because I'm not very skilled, the finished products have some flaws, but I can guarantee that they are the most authentic products of ancient times. You won't lose out if you buy them. If you want them, I'll sell them to you in bulk at a low price."
As an ancient man, Manbao flatly refused, "No!"
This thing can't be used even if she buys it. What's the point of her buying it?
She has grown up and has seen the world. The most noble person she has ever met, the King of Yizhou, did not wear such colorful clothes. She bought all these things, and her father dared to wear them!
but……
Manbao stared at the glittering belt for a long time and asked, "Are the beads on the belt sold separately?"
"...Do I have to remove the beads for you? If you want, I'll give you the whole belt as an apology for the unstable jewelry before."
Manbao was happy, but she felt embarrassed not to buy anything, mainly because her father and brothers were still waiting, so Manbao hesitated and pointed at the bracelets and said, "Forget it, give me six bracelets, no, seven, forget it, eight."
"...Are you sure? Is it eight, nine, or ten?"
Manbao sighed deeply and said, "Fifteen skewers."
The seller on the other side was stunned. Are buyers nowadays so casual and lively?
He glanced down at the beads in the box at his feet and couldn't help squinting his eyes with joy. Maybe he could really clean up all these old stuff today.
He tried to ask calmly, "Are you sure? Would you like a few more? If you buy twenty skewers, I'll give you five more. If you buy twenty-five, I'll give you seven more, and so on..."
Old Zhou fidgeted uncomfortably, craning his neck to look for a long time before asking Zhou Silang, "What did your sister buy? Why did it take so long to get it?"
Zhou Silang shook his head. "How would I know anything about her?"
"You don't know what the point is of letting you go to Yizhou City? Aren't you going to Yizhou City to take care of your youngest sister?"
Zhou Silang said quickly, "Manbao goes to the pharmacy to study every day. I can't always follow her. Doctor Ji will dislike her. So I only go over to check on her occasionally. I don't even know when she bought these things."
Zhou Silang sighed, "You know she's been hiding things since she was a kid, especially things. By the way, Dad, you still have Manbao's money, right? Why don't you give it to her too? Honestly, she's really good at hiding money."
He could roughly know where everyone in the family hid their money, but he just couldn't figure out where Manbao's money was hidden.
Of course, he didn't deliberately inquire about it, he just guessed, or heard it occasionally, or accidentally saw it once or twice.
Just as they were thinking about it, Manbao came running over holding a small package. She smiled ingratiatingly at her father, then opened the package. Everyone was stunned by the dazzling belt in the package.
Old Zhou closed his wide mouth, swallowed hard, and then asked, "Manbao, are the things on this belt fake too?"
Seeing that he seemed to like it very much, Manbao suddenly became happy and waved his hands happily and said, "That's right, they are all fake!"
