Chapter 169: Two Hundred Taels
Seeing her expression changing rapidly in a few breaths, Song Ci felt funny and sarcastic. She really spared no effort to trick her.
When I entered the jewelry shop, the owner greeted me with a smile.
Song Ci: "Boss, your best jewelry is all there."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper thought it was a big customer, and his eyes lit up. "Miss, please come this way. We just got a new batch of jewelry recently. Come with me to take a look."
Since she wanted to trick her, she would make Song Rouxi bleed heavily.
Seeing Song Ci follow the shopkeeper in without any courtesy, Song Rouxi took several deep breaths before calming herself down.
Laugh, but later Song Ci won’t be able to laugh anymore.
He raised his hand and picked up the jewelry on the plate in front of him to look at it. As expected, the shopkeeper did not say anything. These jewelry were not only novel in style, but also made of top-notch materials. The huge rubies on them were enough to dazzle people's eyes.
"This hairpin is nice."
The shopkeeper rubbed his hands together, unable to conceal his excitement. "Miss, you have a good eye. The craftsman who made this hairpin spent half a year to make just this one. The rubies on it were also painstakingly found. The color and luster are not seen outside. They are all made of the best material."
"This hairpin is not cheap, is it?"
As if he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, the shopkeeper stretched out a trembling finger that looked like a rootless carrot and said, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, this is all."
"Five taels?" Song Ci deliberately teased the shopkeeper.
Seeing his rapid breathing, he quickly added, "No, it's fifty taels! This is top-quality!"
"What! Fifty taels!" Song Rouxi let out a sharp explosion.
Just now, Song Ci was in front, and the shopkeeper was busy talking to her and didn't notice Song Rouxi at all. The two of them were extremely beautiful, one was in the sky and the other was on the ground. In addition, Song Ci was walking in front, so naturally he paid attention to her.
The shopkeeper's tone was very impatient, "Sir, this hairpin is not an ordinary item. Fifty taels is a bargain."
"Fifty is still cheap! Why don't you just rob it?"
Song Ci looked regretful. "This hairpin is indeed too expensive, but it's the only one in this shop that catches my eye. Since it's not suitable, let's go back."
He left without any hesitation, which stunned Song Rouxi.
She touched the purse she carried with her, holding the silver bills inside, feeling reluctant to part with them.
"Wait a minute."
"Sister, what do you want to say?" Song Ci asked knowingly.
The shopkeeper then realized that the two were actually sisters. But looking at Song Ci, she had beautiful eyebrows, a pair of misty eyes, fair and flawless skin, and a slim figure. In contrast, looking at the other one.
Although her appearance is not bad, I always feel that she is not outstanding compared to this person.
How strange.
"I think this hairpin is perfect for you. If you don't have enough money, I'll buy it for you."
Song Ci turned back to the hairpin and picked it up. "That's what you said, sister. Since you are so kind as to buy it for me, how can I refuse your kindness?"
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand, and Song Rouxi reluctantly took out fifty taels of silver notes from her purse.
The shopkeeper pulled out a corner of the banknote and applied force, but the banknote didn't move at all.
He gritted his teeth secretly, and with a little effort, he finally took the banknote from Song Rouxi's hand. He smiled innocently and said, "Thank you for your kindness, guest. Fifty taels."
Song Rouxi gritted her teeth, counting the time, and looked up at the teahouse opposite.
Is it time?
....
"Son, look."
A man about 1.6 meters tall and weighing about 200 kilograms, his clothes were so tight that they seemed about to burst at any second. He kept stuffing peanuts into his mouth, his eyes rolling around, and saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth from time to time.
"What."
Mrs. Liang patiently took a handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth. She pointed to the jewelry store across the street and said, "Look here."
The third son of the Liang family looked in the direction of the finger and saw the Song Dynasty porcelain in the shop at a glance.
Her fingertips were snow-white as she admired the ruby hairpin. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and she was so beautiful that she seemed like a fairy in a painting.
"Beautiful! Beautiful!" Liang Laosan began to drool again, and a hint of lust flashed in his dull eyes.
Seeing that her son was satisfied, Mrs. Liang continued to wipe his saliva.
"Why are you in such a hurry? This is the wife your mother chose for you."
"Wife?" Liang Laosan asked stupidly, "What does a wife do?"
Mrs. Liang lowered her voice and whispered in her son's ear, "A daughter-in-law is here to serve you and give birth to a son for you."
"Good! Good! Give birth to a son!"
Liang Laosan picked up his chopsticks and tapped them, shouting that he wanted to give birth to a son. Mrs. Liang didn't care about the eyes of the people around her at all, and looked in the direction of Song Ci with confidence.
She came here today just to see if her beloved son was satisfied. After all, she was the one who would serve her son, so she had to make her son satisfied first.
It was particularly difficult for her to give birth to her third son. The delivery was difficult and the child was born with congenital mental retardation.
But a fool also has needs. At his age, although he doesn't understand the matters between men and women, when he gets anxious and angry, he just hugs the little maid in the mansion and bites her.
Her third son is pitiful, and as a mother, she has to find a son who is easy to control and can serve her for the rest of his life.
"Okay, since you like her, I'll bring her back to accompany you, okay?" Mrs. Liang touched her son's chubby face lovingly.
"Good! Good mother! Beautiful, daughter-in-law! I want you!"
The noise here did not affect Song Ci's good mood for shopping at all. She saw that Song Rouxi was reluctant to leave. Since it was delivered to her door, if she didn't buy more, wouldn't it be a betrayal of others' calculations?
"This jade hairpin is quite nice. The shopkeeper must buy it for me."
"This one is not bad either, it's inlaid with gold and jade, and it's barely enough."
"This..."
“This one…”
Seeing that Mrs. Liang upstairs had disappeared, Song Rouxi ran to Song Ci at a very fast speed and snatched the hairpin from her hand.
"Third sister, you've bought so much, it's enough. One should not be greedy." Song Rouxi changed her previous easy-going appearance and shouted angrily.
The shopkeeper frowned. How could this person change his expression so quickly? Just a moment ago, he was so kind and gentle, but now he was like a female demon. Just like the one in his family, his expression changed as quickly as turning the pages of a book. Tsk tsk tsk tsk...
They are all sisters, they are really different from the same person.
"Yes, that's enough. Shopkeeper, please pack it all for me."
Song Rouxi's eyes turned, "Why don't I help you get it?"
Song Ci glanced at her, her eyes half-smiling, "Sister has always been unable to lift or carry things, so I'd better not trouble you."
This was a mockery of Song Rouxi's habit of pretending to be weak. She was very angry, but couldn't say anything.
I watched helplessly as Song Ci took away the big box of hairpins.
These cost her two hundred taels!
A full two hundred taels of silver!
