The sales assistant had a dark expression throughout, but she helped Yun Jin try on rings.
Yun Jin tried it out, looked at it, and then put it down because she felt it wasn't suitable.
She tried on all the rings in the store, and finally, under the mocking gaze of the sales assistant who thought she definitely wouldn't buy anything, she walked to another counter, which was handled by another sales assistant.
Yun Jin pointed to a lotus flower necklace: "How many grams does this weigh? Shall we buy this one?"
The first question was directed at the saleswoman, while the second question was directed at He Tingchuan.
She just wouldn't buy rings or anything like that.
He Tingchuan saw through her thoughts and decided to pamper his wife: "Okay, buy whatever you like."
The saleswoman took out the lotus-patterned gold necklace that Yun Jin had her eye on and said with a smile, "This one weighs 13.14 grams, which symbolizes a lifetime together. This lady has good taste; this is the only one in the store."
After all, it's really hard to come across such a perfect weight.
Yun Jin immediately liked it: "It's a bit expensive."
Without saying a word, He Tingchuan took out his advance allowance: "It's all yours, buy whatever you want."
Looking at the stack of banknotes in his hand, there were more than twenty ten-yuan bills.
Yun Jin raised an eyebrow: "Isn't your salary with me?"
"The New Year's allowance," He Tingchuan explained. "It's an advance payment."
Yun Jin smiled with satisfaction. She had thought that He Tingchuan was hiding money from her. But she wasn't the kind of person who would control how he spent his money. If he needed money, he could just ask her for it. It wasn't like she wouldn't give it to him.
It's wrong to hide money from others.
Fortunately, they knew to give themselves a surprise by using their advance payment.
Yun Jin looked at He Tingchuan with a hint of joy. Having money in hand, Yun Jin didn't hesitate and asked the sales assistant to issue a receipt for the 13.14-gram lotus flower necklace.
He Tingchuan, who had thought gold was very expensive, assumed that his advance payment would only be enough to buy a ring. However, the price of gold was lower than he expected, and he still had quite a bit left over. He Tingchuan pointed to the bracelets at the next counter and asked, "Want to buy a bracelet?"
Yun Jin asked with a smile, "Are you going to make up for the three gold pieces?"
He Tingchuan gave her a "why not" look: "Try it, and buy it if you like it."
With him being so generous, how could Yun Jin possibly hold him back?
She deserved the three gold medals.
The bracelets from this period are mostly older styles, with sliding doors, as they are designed to be easy to put on and take off.
Yun Jin preferred simple designs and took a liking to a "royal concubine circle" bracelet, which is the plain circle that would be popular in later generations. At this time, it was definitely handmade. Yun Jin tried on the 54mm diameter bracelet.
After applying a little face cream, the bracelet was easy to put on.
Yun Jin showed it to He Tingchuan: "How is it? Is it pretty?"
"Beautiful!" He Tingchuan looked at the gold bracelet on her fair and slender wrist, which made her hands look even fairer and more delicate. He wanted to pinch it and touch it.
Yun Jin smiled with satisfaction: "Then let's buy this bracelet."
He Tingchuan nodded.
The saleswoman issued another receipt: "The plain bracelet is solid, weighs 39.65 grams, which is 233.14 yuan. Adding the necklace at 77.23 yuan, the total is 310.4 yuan."
Upon hearing the price, Yun Jin felt it was too expensive.
He Tingchuan also frowned.
The saleswoman next door, who sells rings, immediately mocked, "Some people are just putting on a show, thinking gold is as cheap as cabbage. They looked down on the rings here. Now they're embarrassed, aren't they?"
"It's over three hundred, why don't you buy it? Aren't you very rich?"
He Tingchuan's expression was unpleasant. He glanced at her coldly, and one look from him successfully silenced the saleswoman next door.
The saleswoman selling necklaces kindly suggested: "If you don't have enough money, you can buy a bracelet or a necklace. Come back and buy it when you have enough money and like it."
Yun Jin liked both pieces very much, and she knew that in this day and age, spending more than three hundred on gold was really too extravagant.
The main reason is that she doesn't earn money herself, so she feels embarrassed to spend so much of He Tingchuan's money.
Yun Jin plans to return the bracelet and just buy a necklace; a 13.14-gram necklace is truly a rare find.
The next second, her small hand was grabbed by a large hand, stopping her from taking off her bracelet: "No need to take it off, I'll go find Li Aiguo to borrow some, and I'll pay him back when I get my salary next month."
Yun Jin politely declined, saying, "I like necklaces very much; one is enough."
He Tingchuan didn't want her to be unhappy even after buying jewelry, so he looked at her with a pleading expression and said, "How about you listen to me today?"
Yun Jin: "......"
He's already so humbly trying to benefit himself; if Yun Jin still refuses, then she's ungrateful.
She took her wallet out of her bag and said, "I brought money with me, so we don't need to borrow any. We can buy it ourselves."
When He Tingchuan returned from his mission, he gave Yun Jin over two hundred yuan. Adding her salary for the past two months, as well as the money sent by He's mother, she had a total of over five hundred yuan. She carried it all with her, afraid that she would lose it if she left it at home.
After counting out enough money and giving it to the saleswoman, Yun Jin deliberately glanced at the ring saleswoman who had mocked them. As she passed by the ring saleswoman, Yun Jin deliberately showed off her bracelet: "Is it pretty?"
The saleswoman rolled her eyes: "Tch, you want to buy a ring if you dare?"
"I will buy it, but I won't buy it from you. I'll come whenever you're not at work, just to annoy you." Yun Jin can be infuriating.
The saleswoman's face turned green: "I work the whole day, every day, all year round. Let's see how you buy it."
In front of her, Yun Jin went to the jewelry store next door, bought an identical ring, and deliberately wore it as she walked past her: "It's not like you're the only jewelry store. Sorry, I prefer their staff; their service is better than yours."
Ring saleswoman: "......"
