Chapter 74 The Glowing Crystal Ball
After resolving their doubts about cosmetics, the three went off to find things they liked.
Cheng Jiaojiao emerged from the shelf, approached Jiang Ling, hesitated for a moment, and then asked the question.
"Sister Jiang, do you still have the music box you gave me at Mother's birthday banquet? I want one too."
She fell in love with the music box the day her mother celebrated her birthday. But her mother would never let her touch it, always saying she was too young and would break it.
She wanted to ask Sister Jiang if they still had any music boxes left, because she wanted one too.
She insisted on buying one for herself!
Play however you want!
Music box?
Jiang Ling said with regret, "I'm sorry, Jiao Jiao. That music box is the only one available, and I don't have any left."
That music box was supposedly a custom-made version, and it's already sold out.
Cheng Jiaojiao's face fell instantly.
really.
She had actually guessed this outcome. But hearing it in person was still very disappointing.
Jiang Ling added, "But don't be discouraged, I'll show you some other treasures, you'll definitely like them too!"
After Jiang Ling finished speaking, she went into the warehouse.
Over here, Princess Chaoyang was completely attracted by the items on the shelves that she had never heard of or seen before.
She walked slowly, watching intently.
Her main purpose in coming here was to see Goddess Jiang; cosmetics and such were secondary.
The goddess got her wish and now she was even more curious about what kind of things the goddess's shop would sell.
The crystal-clear glass, smooth and warm to the touch, was even more transparent than the finest crystal in her mansion.
The comb with its unique texture and the mirror that reflected every detail were incredibly lightweight;
And then there were all sorts of oddly shaped objects, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen...
She was considered quite knowledgeable among the three, but everything here was something she had never seen before...
Pei Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, was completely attracted to brightly colored things.
Colorful candies and cookies, and colorful fruit-flavored drinks;
A sparkling butterfly hair clip;
Finally, her gaze was drawn to a huge, furry object on the top shelf.
It was a pink teddy bear, almost as tall as a person, with a pink bow on its chest.
Adorable and lovable.
"Wow--!"
Pei Xiaoxiao gasped softly, tilting her head back, her eyes filled with that fluffy pink thing.
Unfortunately, the shelf was too high, and even if she stood on tiptoe, she couldn't reach it.
She was about to step on Xiaoru's shoulders and climb up.
Jiang Ling, who was coming out of the warehouse, saw her and quickly called out to her.
"Miss Pei, do you like this big bear? Let me get it for you!"
After Jiang Ling finished speaking, she placed the box on the counter and grabbed a folding ladder from the wall. She easily reached for the plush toys on the shelf.
"Here you go!" Jiang Ling stuffed the big bear into Pei Chichi's arms.
An incredibly soft touch instantly enveloped Pei Xixi. It was soft and warm in her arms, and had the clean scent unique to new fabric.
"Thank you, Sister Jiang!" Pei Xiaoxiao could barely manage to hug her with both arms.
Jiang Ling immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
These are all pampered young ladies; if someone were to fall in her shop, it would cause countless lawsuits!
This is not a dynasty that values reason; even paying compensation may not solve the problem!
Just as Pei Xiaoxiao was being held in her arms, Princess Chaoyang and Cheng Jiaojiao surrounded them.
His eyes lit up as he stared at the pink teddy bear in her arms!
Sure enough, little girls from all dynasties can't resist fluffy toys!
Their eyes met simultaneously.
Jiang Ling had no choice but to climb the ladder and bring down two more bears that were the same size but different colors.
In the sweltering summer heat, three people hugging three bears didn't seem to mind the heat!
They soon realized that carrying such a large bear around the shop was too cumbersome, so the three of them decided to put it on the carriage first.
"Sister Jiang, what is this? Is this also a lipstick?"
Princess Chaoyang walked over carrying a box of colorful things.
Jiang Ling opened the lid, and inside were a dozen small cylinders of the same size and length, wrapped in bright colors, arranged neatly.
"This is called a crayon."
"Crayons? What are they used for?" Princess Chaoyang picked up a red one with a puzzled look. It felt heavy in her hand and smooth to the touch, with a slightly hard feel.
The color is the same as the lipstick, but the smell is a little different.
Jiang Ling asked, "Does the princess like painting?"
Princess Chaoyang nodded slightly: "In my spare time, I have some knowledge of painting and calligraphy, which I use to amuse myself."
"These are the paints used for painting."
"pigment?"
"Yes, this is different from traditional paints. It doesn't need to be mixed with water or pigments. You can paint directly on paper. The colors are very bright and saturated, and it has strong covering power and doesn't easily get your hands dirty."
Jiang Ling pulled a piece of white paper from the shelf and casually traced on it with a blue crayon. Intense, pure blue lines immediately appeared.
Princess Chaoyang's eyes lit up!
She had never seen such a bright and vibrant color before.
She picked up a yellow crayon and gently smeared it on the blue area, and was surprised to find that yellow could be layered on top of blue to create a new shade of green!
This is amazing!
"Is this...is this drawing paper also specially made?" She immediately thought of the matching accessories.
“No need, regular paper will do. Of course, this kind of thick sketch paper will work even better.” Jiang Ling took a sketchbook from the shelf and handed it to her.
This was the first time she had ever seen such clean and white paper!
Princess Chaoyang loved it dearly.
Without hesitation, she decided to buy it, already having already decided what to paint with this novel paintbrush.
"Sister Jiang, is this what you're going to give me?" Cheng Jiaojiao asked, pointing to the box on the counter.
She put the teddy bear on the carriage before remembering that Jiang Ling had said she was going to get something for her.
"I almost forgot." Jiang Ling moved the box onto the table.
What could it be? Cheng Jiaojiao asked expectantly.
Princess Chaoyang and Pei Xiaoxiao were also drawn over, both curious about what Goddess Jiang had taken out.
Jiang Ling opened the box and took out a crystal-clear glass sphere.
The interior of the sphere is a miniature winter snow scene, complete with tiny houses and trees. The base is made of pure wood and is carved with snow scene and house patterns.
As soon as the crystal ball was taken out, all three of them looked at it with amazement!
Wow! So beautiful!
Cheng Jiaojiao exclaimed in surprise, carefully cupping the translucent sphere in her hands.
"Jiaojiao, look at this!" Jiang Ling pressed an inconspicuous little button on the base.
In an instant, a soft light shone from inside the crystal ball, and the seven-colored light flowed between the crystal ball and the snow scene, like a dream!
At the same time, a clear and melodious ethereal melody flowed out, not loud, but enough to linger in the quiet shop.
"It glows! It sings! It's so beautiful!" Pei Xiaoxiao exclaimed, her eyes wide.
"The sound is monotonous, and it can't compare to a music box, but this one lights up, and the falling snow creates a dreamy scene. Does Jiaojiao like it?"
"Sister Jiang! I love it so much! I really love it!" She was a little upset because she couldn't buy a music box, but seeing the crystal ball completely washed away her disappointment.
Princess Chaoyang was also captivated by the light and music from the crystal ball, her eyes filled with envy: "Sister Jiang, are there any more crystal balls? Chaoyang wants one too."
Pei Xiaoxiao immediately said, "Xiaoxiao wants one too!"
Jiang Ling smiled slightly, "There are exactly three crystal balls left, you can take them one by one."
