Every time Yu Tanqi went out, not only did she let Linlang carry a large amount of silver and small change, she also brought silver and small change with her.
No matter where you are, it never hurts to carry extra money with you when you go out.
The clerk at Songge saw that they would be generous customers and enthusiastically took out the new accessories in the store.
"Miss, this is our shop's new button. The ones made of gold and jade are the most beautiful. Look at this golden butterfly. Isn't it beautiful?"
A button knot is a decoration on clothes, which only wealthy people can afford.
Yu Tanqi doesn’t really like to put a lot of decorations on her clothes, but these exquisite little things can be bought to look at or give as gifts.
She glanced at the gold butterfly buckle and said casually, "It's pretty. Buy it. There's also this goldfish buckle."
They don’t even ask about the price. Business people love customers like this the most.
The waiter smiled happily: "Okay! Miss, take a look at this..."
Yu Tanqi interrupted softly, "Do you have any jewelry for men?"
Hearing this, Jiang Shi looked at her.
The waiter thought for a moment and said, "Miss, you are talking about the belt hook and the ring, of course they are there."
He went and got several boxes himself, half of which were belt hooks and half were rings.
Both of these are men's accessories. The belt hook is used to tie the belt and is worn on the waist, while the ring is worn on the finger.
"Look, miss. This belt hook is made of gold inlaid jade. There are also ones made of Hetian jade and green-white jade. This is a jadeite ring. There are also ones made of mutton-fat jade and white jade."
Yu Tanqi's eyes first fell on the ring.
She has read many ancient novels and watched TV dramas, in which rich and powerful men all wear rings. Not only do they look good, but they also show their social status.
The three masters of the Xie family, as well as Jiang Qi and Jiang Qin, all have a ring on their thumbs.
The thumb ring is a tool worn on the thumb to draw the bow during archery. Later it gradually became a decoration, but it can be divided into civil and military types.
Martial arts rings are mostly plain, while literary rings are often cast with poems or patterns on the outer wall.
Almost all the rings in Songge are decorated with patterns, and they can be sold at high prices because of their fine workmanship.
Yu Tanqi looked at Jiang Shi and said, "Take a look. Is there a ring you like?"
Jiang Shi couldn't help but laugh: "It was me who brought you here to buy you jewelry, but now you are the one who brought me here to look at jewelry."
Yu Tanqi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who buys it for whom. Why don't you pick two? I can't let you be the only one to pay for it in the end. I won't be able to bear it if I do."
She did not refuse him to buy her jewelry, but she also wanted to return his gift.
It was the first time that Jiang Shi was urged by a girl to choose jewelry. The feeling was too novel.
He did not refuse. His eyes swept across the rows of rings and quickly picked out two rings, one plain and one with a pattern.
“And there’s a hook.”
Yu Tanqi took a quick look at Jiang Shi's waist. Well, it was very thin, but he didn't know what it would look like without clothes.
Stop, don't let your thoughts run wild.
Her cheeks felt hot again.
Jiang Shi only picked out a belt hook made of green and white jade. The silver needed for these three items was already quite a lot. He thought he couldn't really let her give him the silver, so he said, "I'll just take these three. Let's go look at the woman's jewelry and then I'll give her the silver."
Yu Tanqi didn't think much about it and said happily: "Okay, let's take a look at the others."
Jiang Shi glanced at Danqing and signaled with his eyes. Danqing understood immediately and left immediately with the waiter who brought the tray of jewelry.
Yu Tanqi knew nothing about this. After looking at several types of jewelry with Jiang Shi, she chose a hairpin with kingfisher feathers and a pair of silver-gilt jade earrings with kingfisher feather flower decorations.
When he was about to pay, the waiter looked at Jiang Shi and said with a smile, "This young man has already paid."
The total amount is six thousand taels of silver. This young man is really generous.
However, this young lady actually wanted to pay for the young man's things, which shows that she is not short of money.
When did such a wealthy young man and young lady appear in the capital? Why did they come to Song Pavilion only today?
Yu Tanqi looked at Jiang Shi in surprise: "Didn't we agree that I pay yours and you pay mine?"
Jiang Shi smiled and said, "Next time, let me pay the money this time, okay?"
Yu Tanqi looked away, her cheeks flushed.
Please don't smile so beautifully.
And in such a gentle tone.
What else can she say?
Of course, whatever he says is what it is.
When the two men were about to leave Song Pavilion with their maids and attendants, a noble lady accidentally saw them and exclaimed in surprise.
"Isn't that the Marquis of Wu'an? How did he appear here?"
A young girl nearby couldn't help but ask, "Marquis Wu'an's son? Is he the one rumored to be as handsome as the four great princes of the capital?"
The lady said confidently, "Yes, I am sure it is him. I see him every year when I attend the palace banquets. I cannot mistake his face or figure."
The girl asked, "Do you know who the girl in red next to him is?"
The lady shook her head: "I don't know."
She paused. Although it was just a quick glance, the girl's face was clearly visible. She was in no way inferior to Princess Yun, the most beautiful woman in the capital.
She suddenly thought of the recent rumors in the capital.
"I've never seen that girl in red before. Could it be that she is the fiancée that Prince Jiang brought back from the Xie family in Chenjun?"
Jiang Shi's departure from the capital was a big deal. Many people saw with their own eyes a handsome young man in tight clothes riding his horse through the streets, followed by a gorgeous carriage and spirited guards with swords.
There are only a handful of families in the capital who can afford to have sword-carrying guards, and they are either kings, generals, or high-ranking dignitaries.
The young man had an outstanding appearance and anyone who saw him would remember him forever.
A noble lady recognized Jiang Shi and called out his name.
After Jiang Shi left the capital, many people were discussing where he was going and what he was going to do.
It was not until seven days ago when Jiang Shi's motorcade returned to Beijing that someone ran on the street outside the Wu'an Marquis Mansion and saw Jiang Shi, a beautiful and elegant girl in blue, and a handsome and cold young man.
Soon someone found out their identities. It turned out that the girl was Yu Tanqi, a cousin of the Xie family in Chen County. Her father was Yu Shangheng, the second-rank governor of the river, and she came from a prominent family.
The young man was Xie Jing, the eldest son of the Xie family in Chen County, Yu Tanqi's cousin, and a candidate for the imperial examination this spring.
The two of them were of noble status and should not have been involved with the prince of Wu'an who was about to fall into decline. However, Yu Tanqi's mother and the wife of Wu'an Marquis were once close friends, and she arranged a marriage for Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi.
Yu Tanqi is the fiancée mentioned by Jiang Shi.
Jiang Shi actually rode his horse and left the capital just to pick up his fiancée.
The noble ladies in the capital were extremely shocked, and many were heartbroken overnight.
Today, the news that Jiang Shi brought his fiancée to Song Pavilion to spend a lot of money quickly spread.
When the Jiang family heard this, they were extremely angry.
"That's six thousand taels of silver!"
