Chapter 115 Head and Face
Early the next morning, Liu and Yuan Ziyu reported to Madam Yuan, then left Yuan Mansion in a carriage and went to Chong'an Street.
Today is the day when the second branch of the Yuan family moves in. Yuan Ziyu couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that when he comes back, the second branch of the Yuan family might have already moved out.
"Mom!" Yuan Zi leaned against Liu's side worriedly, "Let's go to the gold shop first!"
"Okay, let's listen to You'er!" Liu replied with a smile.
Yuan Ziyou smiled and told the driver, "Go to the gold shop!"
"Yes, Second Miss!"
"Hey, Madam, Miss, please come in!" The driver stopped the carriage in front of a gold shop called Yuzhen Pavilion on Chong'an Street. Bishuang and Qingying helped Liu and Yuan Ziyu down from the carriage respectively. The shop assistant saw them and hurried over to greet them, warmly welcoming them: "Madam and Miss, are you looking for some jewelry?"
"Are there any new models of jewelry?" Yuan Ziyu asked hurriedly.
When the clerk heard this, he knew that the lady in front of him was here to buy jewelry, and he smiled even more enthusiastically: "Yes, a batch of jewelry just arrived yesterday. It's from the Su family workshop. It looks beautiful and exquisite, perfect for you, madam and young lady!"
As he spoke, he invited Liu and Yuan Ziyu into the shop to sit down, served them tea, and brought a tray of jewelry for Liu and Yuan Ziyu to choose from.
Liu and Yuan Ziyu began to look at it carefully.
It has to be said that the Su Workshop is worthy of being called the number one jewelry family in the Dali Dynasty. The jewelry it creates, regardless of workmanship and style, is extremely exquisite and can be said to be a work of art that surpasses nature.
Yuan Ziyu felt like he was almost dazzled.
"Mom, which ones do you like?" Yuan Ziyu simply asked Liu.
Liu was also a little dazzled, so she smiled and said, "Any one of them is good!"
Yuan Ziyu looked at it carefully again, and finally picked up a single phoenix hairpin with gold filigree inlaid with rubies and dotted with kingfisher feathers, and asked Liu, "Mother, look, do you like this hairpin?"
Liu smiled and said, "Very beautiful!"
Yuan Ziyu was delighted and asked the clerk, "How much is this hairpin?"
The clerk smiled and said, "Miss, you have excellent taste. This kingfisher hairpin is the best piece in this collection. It's genuine Su family craftsmanship. It's priced at one thousand five hundred taels."
"What!" Liu was startled and said to Yuan Ziyu hurriedly, "You'er, this is too expensive. Choose something else!"
"Not expensive!" Yuan Ziyu asked the clerk holding the jade-inlaid hairpin, "Do you have a complete set?"
The clerk laughed when he heard this and said, "Yes, yes, but the whole set of headgear will cost at least eight thousand taels of silver!"
Originally, this set of headgear was to be sold as a set, but the shopkeeper had a silver shortage that he urgently needed to fill. He was afraid that if they were sold as a set, it would take a long time and the money would not come back quickly, so he asked him to sell the headgear separately.
Now, it would be great if this young lady is willing to buy the whole set of headwear!
“Give it to me!”
Now that Yuan Ziyu owns the pastry shop, she doesn't feel bad about spending money, and she is even more willing to spend it on her family.
"Hey, miss, please wait a moment!" The waiter's eyes lit up and he hurried into the inner room. After a while, he came out holding a flat wooden box.
When the clerk opened the wooden box, he saw inside a phoenix-shaped hairpin inlaid with gold and rubies, a pair of drop-shaped earrings inlaid with gold and rubies, a bracelet inlaid with gold and rubies, and a mutton-fat jade pendant inlaid with gold and rubies.
"So beautiful!" Yuan Ziyu's eyes lit up when she saw these pieces of jewelry. This set of headwear was definitely worth the price: "Qingying, pay the money!"
"Hey!" Qingying responded promptly, then took out eight silver notes worth one thousand taels from her purse and handed them to the clerk.
The clerk took the silver and immediately smiled. He hurriedly helped Yuan Ziyu put the single phoenix and kingfisher feather hairpin into the wooden box.
Yuan Ziyu was about to look at other jewelry when she heard a sharp voice: "Wait!"
Then, a man walked up to the waiter and said, "Waiter, I want this headgear. How much is it?"
"Oh, miss, this set of headgear has been sold to you!" The clerk smiled embarrassedly at the visitor.
Yuan Ziyu put on the headgear, closed the box with a "click", handed it to Qingying behind him, and then turned to look at the person who came.
Haha, what a coincidence, she is Liu Luojuan, the sister of Liu Luoshan, the wife of my eldest brother in his previous life.
"We have already paid for this set of headgear. You are late!" Yuan Ziyu said lightly.
Liu Luojuan opened her eyes wide and stared at Yuan Ziyu: "I like this headdress. I'll give you as much silver as you want. I want this headdress."
Liu Luojuan's words made Liu frown, but she didn't want to scold a little girl in public.
"Not for sale!" Yuan Ziyu said lightly.
"You..." Liu Luojuan's eyes widened: "Do you know who my father is? You..."
"Sister!" Liu Luoshan hurried into the shop and hurriedly called out to Liu Luojuan. She turned around and said to Liu and Yuan Ziyu, "Madam Yuan and Second Miss Yuan, right? I'm so sorry. My sister had her eye on this headdress for my mother's birthday, but she didn't have enough money, so she went back to get it. As a result... I'm so sorry!"
Yuan Ziyu raised his eyebrows. Liu Luoshan really lies without thinking!
"Fifth sister, what are you doing..." Obviously, Liu Luojuan did not know Liu and Yuan Ziyu. What surprised Yuan Ziyu was that their family had no intersection with the Liu family, so how could Liu Luojuan recognize them at a glance.
"Third sister, these are the family members of the great general who defends the country!" Liu Luoshan hurriedly said to Liu Luojuan, "This is Madam Yuan and Miss Yuan Er!"
"Ah!" Liu Luojuan was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed red. She quickly apologized, "Madam Yuan, Second Miss Yuan, I'm so sorry. I was so rude just now!"
"I'm actually lucky that my father is a first-rank general, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to keep the headgear I just bought today!" Yuan Ziyu sneered, "Miss, you haven't told me yet, who is your father?"
Liu Luojuan's face suddenly turned even redder, and she hesitated, not knowing what to say. How could her father's rank compare to that of a first-rank general? She was really unlucky today, how could she have ended up in front of this young lady?
"Alright!" Liu said, "Ladies, if you have nothing else to do, please feel free to do as you please."
After hearing what Liu said, Liu Luojuan and Liu Luoshan hurriedly said goodbye and left the gold shop.
"Mom, if they don't leave, I will definitely make them pay!" Yuan Ziyu said with a pout, especially that Liu Luoshan, who pretended to be virtuous and told lies.
"Alright, why bother with them!" Liu said with a smile, "Hurry up and pick out some jewelry for yourself and your grandmother!"
