Chapter 551 Where is the silver?
Wan Yirou looked at the hairpin and asked Fubao, "Sister Fubao, do you really think I look good in this?"
Fu Bao tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "Sister Rou, I think this flower is beautiful, and you are beautiful too. You will definitely look good wearing this, but I think it would be better if this peony could be changed into a plum blossom. I think the plum blossom is more suitable for you."
Fubao felt that Wan Yirou had a temperament unique to plum blossoms. Although she looked gentle, she had an unyielding pride inside, which matched the plum blossom hairpin very well.
Fubao's words touched Wan Yirou's heart directly.
"Boss, does this have a plum blossom pattern? Master Ji wouldn't have only made peonies, right?"
It was not the first time that Wan Yirou bought something from the Treasure Pavilion. She had some understanding of Master Ji. If jewelry was designed with flower elements, there would definitely be more than one. It was just that there were too many nobles in the capital, so they had to consider carefully which ones to give. Although each piece was a fine product, some jewelry might not suit the wearer's temperament, so some jewelry would be left over after being sent to the mansion.
The shopkeeper looked a little embarrassed. Wan Yirou knew at a glance that there must be one, but she might have come too late. Was the hairpin given to someone else?
"Shopkeeper, you don't have to feel embarrassed. If you don't have it, forget it. I like this one too, but it's not suitable for this season. It will be very beautiful if you wear it next spring when the peonies are in full bloom."
The shopkeeper was relieved to see that Wan Yirou did not question him, and he also successfully sold the item.
"Miss, you are right. When you wear this jewelry to the Spring Banquet next year, it will definitely outshine all the other beauties."
The shopkeeper waved his hand, and the waiter immediately took the tray out to pack it. The second waiter immediately came forward and lifted the silk on the tray.
Because the first piece of jewelry is so stunning, the second one seems a little dull, but it is also very beautiful.
"Miss, this is a pair of gold filigree inlaid gemstones and jade peach blossom phoenixes. It is made of gold filigree with a curling grass pattern as the base, and the front is made of a jade frame and claws. The frame is surrounded by gold filigree flowers and leaves and 18 stone bowls, inlaid with red, blue sapphires and turquoise. In the frame is a delicate jade, and the white jade is carved into a peach blossom phoenix. There is a peach blossom in the middle, and a pair of phoenixes are circling on the left and right, one leaning forward and raising its head, and the other turning around to look around."
Only then did Wan Yirou see clearly that there was indeed a picture inside, and the craftsmanship was even more complicated than the peony hairpin she had just seen.
"Sister Fubao, do you think this one looks good?"
Fu Bao nodded vigorously, "Yes, they are beautiful, all of them are beautiful. The bird looks alive. It is amazing that so many flowers and birds can be carved out of such a small piece of jewelry."
Wan Yirou touched the top of Fubao's head and saw that she was only wearing two pearl flowers on her head and nothing else. However, her hairstyle had changed. It was Qingmei who did it for her personally. It was very cute.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any flowers for my sister?"
The shopkeeper took a look at Fubao and found that the little girl was really pretty. However, the child was still young, and it would definitely not look good if she wore gold and silver. She would look better wearing pearl flowers.
"Yes, we have a complete set of pearl headpieces in our store, which are very suitable for young lady to wear."
The shopkeeper had never heard of another daughter in the Duke's Mansion, so he thought this girl must be a relative of the Duke's Mansion. However, seeing how much Wan Yirou valued Fubao, he thought that the girl's status should not be low.
"Then bring it here for me to see."
The shopkeeper quickly sent someone down to get it.
Other jewelry was shown to Wan Yirou.
All items were of high quality, but Wan Yirou only bought five pieces in the end, spending four thousand taels of silver, an average of eight hundred taels of silver per piece.
"Boss, please send these that I just selected to the Duke's Mansion."
"yes."
Rich people just go out to shop and then take their stuff back to pay. Otherwise, how would she take so much money out?
Soon, the waiter came up with a set of pearl headwear.
"Miss, look, this is the set. It has a small jade crown, and the rest are hairpins decorated with pearls. These pearls are all top-quality, and they are pink, which makes them even more rare."
Fubao fell in love with this headdress at first sight, but she still asked about the price.
"Boss, how much is this set of headgear?"
"Because this headpiece uses rare pink pearls, the price is higher, one thousand taels of silver."
"Ah? So expensive?" Fubao touched his sleeve pocket and his face turned pale.
Where's her money?
Fubao was suddenly a little flustered. She quickly lowered her head and carefully felt her body. She clearly remembered that she had stuffed the silver into her body yesterday, so how come it was gone?
Fubao was so anxious that she was about to cry. That was all the money she had. She also had to buy embroidered shoes for her mother, jewelry for her mother and grandmother, and her husband's share was also included.
"Sister Fubao, what's wrong with you?" Wan Yirou noticed that Fubao suddenly seemed a little strange, as if she was looking for something.
"Sister Rou, my money is lost. I earned a hundred taels of silver yesterday, and it's gone."
Fubao's eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at Wan Yirou pitifully, feeling so aggrieved. This was the first time she had earned so much money, and it was gone before she could even warm up to it.
"Don't worry, look for it again. Did you put it somewhere? Did you not bring it out?"
"Impossible. I remember it clearly. I stuffed it into my sleeve yesterday."
Qingmei took a look at Fubao's clothes and asked uncertainly, "Miss Fubao, are you sure you were wearing the same clothes yesterday?"
Fubao was surprised for a moment, thought about it carefully, and suddenly slapped his head.
"By the way, I think I changed my clothes. My dad must have put them away."
Fubao burst into laughter, his face flushed, and he looked particularly cute.
Wan Yirou finally breathed a sigh of relief. One hundred taels was indeed worth nothing to her, but for Fubao, she knew it was a huge sum of money. She knew the situation of her uncle Wan's family, but another question came to her mind: How did Fubao earn so much money?
But she felt that now was not the time to ask this and would ask it when she got back.
"Sister Fubao, this headdress is given to you by your elder sister. You don't have to spend money on it yourself. Just think of it as a meeting gift from your elder sister."
Fubao shook his head firmly, "No, it's too expensive. I can't accept it. I can't afford it. My master said that this is called an unequal gift. It's not allowed."
"Sister Rou, Fubao doesn't like this headpiece anymore. It's too heavy and inconvenient to wear. If someone steals it, it will be a big loss."
Wan Yirou responded with a smile: "Okay, since you don't like it, then we won't buy it."
But Wan Yirou knew that Fubao liked this set of headwear, so she secretly asked Qingmei to keep it for later and tell them to buy it back after they returned home.
Just then, the waiter who had just gone downstairs to pack the jewelry ran up in a panic.
"Boss, something bad has happened. The young lady from the Earl's Mansion just came and saw the peony jewelry we wrapped. She insisted on buying it and is now throwing a tantrum downstairs."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately apologized and left to deal with it.
