She walked up to the counter and said boldly, "Bring me the best stuff in your store!"
Upon hearing such bold words, the waiter thought that a big customer had arrived, and quickly came out with a beaming smile.
But when he came out, he was a little suspicious when he saw the clothes and the number of people in front of him.
After all, how could a lady be dressed so simply? The fabric of these people's clothes was something he had never seen before in Jingdong, and there was a man and a woman following behind each of them.
These two people seemed neither like masters nor guards.
That's really strange.
However, this lady and young lady were exceptionally beautiful, more beautiful than he had ever seen before.
So he could only suppress his doubts and introduce the jewelry in the shop to her one by one.
"Looking at the Ruyi hairpin, there is a large ruby in the center, and several small pearls are adorned around it. It is very delicate and exquisite. It also has another name, called 'Stars Surrounding the Moon.' If my lady wears it, it will make your fair skin even more beautiful."
Lin Ru looked at the hairpin and found it exquisite. She immediately waved her hand and said, "I want this hairpin. Wrap it up for me."
The waiter's eyes lit up, and he replied with a big smile, "Alright!"
Then he led Lin Ru and the others further inside, saying, "Madam, Miss, look! This Golden Sparrow with a Pearl Hairpin is made entirely of gold. Look how lifelike the golden sparrow is, and the pearl it's holding in its mouth is a mermaid pearl from the East Sea. Legend has it that only the tears of mermaids can turn into mermaid pearls. Look how big it is! I wonder how long the mermaid must have cried!"
Lin Ru: "Wrap it up!"
The waiter's eyes lit up even more when he heard those three words.
He then introduced many other pieces of jewelry; any piece he introduced with care and who could tell a few stories about it was included.
At first, he felt like he had met a distinguished guest and was overjoyed, but the more time passed, the more uncertain he became, fearing that the young lady was deliberately playing a trick on him.
After all, the total value of all these pieces of jewelry is already ten thousand taels of silver.
He's a new employee, and if he gets played like this, he probably won't be able to stay at Linglong Pavilion anymore.
Just as he was struggling with this dilemma, the incredibly beautiful young lady in front of him took out a gold ingot from her bosom.
It was slammed onto the counter next to it.
Then came the second, the third, and the fourth gold ingot...
His eyes were overwhelmed by all the sights.
Lin Ru: "Is there anything else here that's even more beautiful? The things you just took out were very exquisite, but I felt they were just a little lacking. Doesn't your shop have any signature items?"
"Looking at the whole of Kyoto, your shop is the biggest and tallest!"
"Is this all there is?"
The waiter swallowed hard as he looked at the gold ingots. Just as he came to his senses and was about to continue answering Lin Ru's questions, he suddenly felt someone bump into him.
Turning his head, he saw that the person who bumped into him was the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper initially didn't take these people seriously. Even if they wanted to buy something, they weren't considered customers unless they paid. Moreover, in his eyes, these people seemed to have come from some rural area and looked like they had never seen the world before.
Such a person might have some money, but definitely not a lot.
They bought these pieces of jewelry, but couldn't even afford the money. However, in the blink of an eye, the young lady in the lead took out a lot of gold ingots from her bosom.
Those are gold ingots.
Some people carry gold ingots with them when they go out, while others usually carry silver ingots.
It's clear that this person is not short of money.
Moreover, although the person bought all the jewelry items mentioned earlier, their eyes did not reveal any particular amazement or satisfaction, indicating that they have higher aspirations for the future.
Sure enough, the next second the young lady said she wanted to see the store's prized possession.
He immediately went out and pushed the waiter aside.
He needed to treat this customer well, as he was his future patron.
“I am the manager of Linglong Pavilion. Just by looking at you, Madam and Miss, I can tell you are people of great taste.”
"My employee is new and doesn't know much about our shop."
"The items on the first and second floors are nice, but they don't do justice to your noble status and taste."
"Why don't we go to the third floor?"
"The third floor is often used to entertain distinguished guests."
"Judging from your demeanor, you must be high-ranking officials and nobles."
"May I ask whose lady or young lady you are?"
"How come I've never seen this before?"
Lin Ru glanced at the waiter next to her, who looked so aggrieved, while I looked at the shopkeeper, whose face was full of shrewd calculation.
The smile on his face didn't diminish in the slightest.
"We're not from Kyoto, we just came here to broaden our horizons."
When the shopkeeper heard that they weren't from the capital and were just here to broaden their horizons, his expression immediately changed. I thought they were some wealthy lady or young lady from a high-class family who never went out. I never expected to run into them. It turns out they were just nouveau riche from some backwater village.
But so be it, a nouveau riche.
I just want to be able to buy more things.
Recently, I don't know what's going on, but the wives and daughters of high-ranking officials have all disappeared without a trace.
As a result, their shop's business is not as good as before.
If we can catch even one sucker, that's one to be grateful for.
Then his face was all smiles again as he led the person to the third floor.
"Let's go up together then."
"Let me show you our store's prized possession."
"Let me tell you, all the high-ranking officials and noble ladies in the capital are willing to buy things from our Linglong Pavilion. The products produced by our Linglong Pavilion are guaranteed. Even the empresses in the palace will ask someone to buy things from our Linglong Pavilion."
"For example, Princess Rou and Princess Min."
“They come to our Linglong Pavilion as soon as they step out of the house.”
"Even the Queen in the palace speaks highly of our Linglong Pavilion."
Lin Ru raised an eyebrow in surprise, "So many dignitaries are buying jewelry from you, I'd like to see what your so-called treasure is. Don't disappoint me."
The shopkeeper patted his chest confidently, "Don't worry."
"This time I'm showing you a new design, and I guarantee you've never seen one like it before."
"And this is a complete set of headdresses."
"Priceless."
"You'll absolutely be captivated by it."
Lin Ru: "I want to see what kind of thing it is that I can't take my eyes off it."
We waited until we reached the third floor.
