Chapter 285 I’m interested first
Ye Mingzhu shook her head. She usually only wore a hairpin on her head, and there were many other jewelries that she hadn't worn. Today she really just came here to rest.
Jian Pingping tried to persuade Ye Mingzhu a few times, but Ye Mingzhu refused to accept the jewelry, so she had to give up.
When the woman brought over the jewelry she had just chosen, she gestured in front of the bronze mirror and asked Ye Mingzhu for her opinion.
Ye Mingzhu looked at Jian Pingping carefully, smiled and nodded. These pieces of jewelry on her head really brought out her best features.
I don’t know if Jian Pingping didn’t like going out before, but her skin is very fair, and the shiny hairpin on her head looks particularly eye-catching.
Jian Pingping asked the woman to pack up the hairpin, then took the album and began to look at other jewelry.
The woman smiled happily and took a few pieces of jewelry away. Even if the few of them didn't buy anything else later, it was enough to cover the minimum consumption in the compartment.
Although Ye Mingzhu didn't want to buy jewelry, she wanted to see the difference between the Linglong Pavilion in the capital and the Linglong Pavilion in the town, so she went over to take a look.
Uncle Yan took Ye Yun'an and Jian An'an to the teahouse next door to rest. Chun Xing and Aunt Qian stood respectfully behind them. The compartment became quiet, and the sounds from next door became unusually clear.
"Sister Qing, your bracelet is so beautiful. I heard it was given to you by the prefect's wife?" A sweet female voice sounded.
"Our prefect's wife has set her eyes on Sister Qing as her daughter-in-law, so she must leave all the good things to her."
"That's not true. Don't talk nonsense." There was embarrassment and resistance in his voice, but not much anger.
Ye Mingzhu, who was looking at the album, frowned. She remembered Jian Pingping saying that her uncle was the prefect, and she was engaged to her uncle's cousin. Could it be that the prefect's family had several sons?
Jian Pingping also heard the voices from next door, and her face turned pale for a moment.
Ye Mingzhu couldn't help but have a bad guess.
The woman who had just received them came in from outside, opened the wrapped brocade box for the two to confirm, and put it on the table again.
Jian Pingping asked indirectly about the situation next door, but the woman only said that there were a few noble ladies next door and didn't say anything more.
Jian Pingping lowered his eyes and turned directly to the last page of the album, pointing to an exquisite crown on it and asking the woman to take it.
The woman hesitated and said, "This crown costs five hundred taels."
Jian Pingping nodded calmly: "Go get it, I want to try it, if it looks good, I'll buy it."
The woman wasn't sure if they had any money, so Jian Pingping pulled out a five-hundred-liang note from her bosom and said, "That should be fine."
"Okay, okay, I'll get it now." The woman immediately walked out with a smile.
Ye Mingzhu glanced at Jian Pingping worriedly and advised, "Pingping, you won't have many opportunities to wear this crown. Why don't you look for something else?"
The most important thing was that she just heard people next door discussing whether they should look at the last crown.
If they buy Huaguan, it is very likely that they will attract people from next door.
Jian Pingping bit her lip and said nothing. The woman who received them brought in a brocade box, and Ye Mingzhu sighed slightly.
"Sir, you have a very good eye. This crown was drawn by a master craftsman in our city, and it is the first one made." The woman carefully took the crown out of the brocade box and placed it on the table.
Jian Pingping's gaze only lingered on the crown for a moment, and his eyes kept scanning towards the door.
The woman was still introducing the gorgeous crown. Ye Mingzhu finished thinking about how to draw the gorgeous crown in her mind. Several ideas for small crowns popped up in her mind. She looked up and wanted to go back, but saw Jian Pingping's eyes flickering.
There was a knock on the door. Before anyone could say anything, a woman walked in and glanced at the ornate crown on the table. "Dujuan, a guest wants to see the ornate crown. I'll take it away now."
Du Juan frowned, and Jian Pingping immediately reached out to stop her: "Is this the rule of Linglong Pavilion? You want me to take it away before I've even finished reading it?"
Du Juan quickly said, "No, please feel free to look around."
She pulled the visitor a few steps toward the door and whispered, "Yingchun, how can you speak to a guest like that?"
Yingchun shook her hands and raised her voice a little: "You didn't buy it, did you? Are you not going to let my guests see it?"
Ye Mingzhu could see that Yingchun was speaking loudly on purpose, hoping that they would give up the crown.
However, Jian Pingping's gaze seemed to be glued to the crown, with a smile on his lips, and he nodded with satisfaction from time to time.
Du Juan noticed this expression and pushed Yingchun out the door: "Yingchun, go out first. Wait until my guests here have finished looking at it before you take it."
The meaning is very clear, it will be your turn only if my customers don’t buy.
Yingchun was still talking when Dujuan pulled her out.
The room fell silent for a moment. Jian Pingping looked towards the door and sighed, "This crown is really beautiful."
Ye Mingzhu didn't know what she meant. Did she want to buy it?
"Sorry to bother you." Someone else pushed the door open and three girls in gorgeous clothes with hair full of pearls and jade walked in from outside.
"Have you bought this gorgeous crown? If not, we can take it away." The woman in the goose yellow skirt spoke in a sweet voice. From her voice, one could tell that she was the woman talking next door.
Jian Pingping didn't look at them, only at Du Juan behind them: "Is this the rule of your Linglong Pavilion? You have to give it to the next guest before the previous guest has finished looking at it?"
Dujuan cursed Yingchun in her heart, but she still squeezed to the front and bowed: "This girl came first, so of course she should see it first."
Jian Pingping's gaze fell back on the flower crown.
The three people who were left out frowned at the same time. The woman in the light yellow skirt asked in a bad tone, "Do you know who we are?"
Jian Pingping didn't even raise his head: "If you don't know who you are, you should go back and ask your parents, not ask me."
The corners of Ye Mingzhu's mouth curled up. She didn't expect that Jian Pingping could be so vicious.
The woman opposite was visibly stunned, her face then turning pale and blue. "You, how can you talk like that? Do you know that if you offend us..."
"Mei'er," the tall woman in the middle, dressed in light purple, stepped forward. "Miss, are you ready to buy this crown? If not, can we admire it together?"
Mei'er stamped her feet: "Sister Qing, what are their identities?"
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Jian Pingping spoke first: "I'm ready to buy it. Do you still want to see it?"
Mei'er's eyes widened. "You've only looked at it for a short while, and you're ready to buy it. Who are you trying to fool?"
Jian Pingping was not angry. He nodded at her and looked at Du Juan: "Pay the bill."
Mei'er was furious and wanted to step forward, but Sister Qing stopped her: "Mei'er, let this crown be given to this girl."
"Miss, I have to correct you. I was the first one to see and buy this crown. You didn't ask me to give it to you." Jian Ping looked at Sister Qing calmly and said this calmly. He followed Du Juan's footsteps and went out to pay the bill.
Sister Qing looked unhappy, Mei'er stamped her feet and followed her out.
Jian Pingping had already paid the bill promptly and asked Aunt Qian to take the brocade box and leave.
Mei'er chased out and almost bumped into a man who was about to enter the door, and only then did she stop.
