Chapter 122 "Auspicious Moon and Beautiful Flowers" Bracelet
"Hey, young man, how much is this?" Rong Jin asked the guy next to him.
"Sir, the original price of this is two hundred and twenty taels of silver. If you are interested, I'll give you a discount of two hundred taels." The waiter took a look at the hairpin and immediately quoted the amount. His professionalism made Hua Lei in front of him turn her head to look at the waiter.
Although there weren't tens of thousands of ornaments in this cabinet, there were at least a hundred of them, and unlike in the previous life, each ornament had a small price tag. How did this guy quote the price so quickly?
Rong Jin nodded, and glanced at Hua Lei who was walking in front of him. Her black hair was tied into a single bun, and because she was in mourning, she didn't have any special decorations, so she should be able to wear this silver hairpin inlaid with cat's eye.
Pearl looked around but didn't see anything she particularly liked, so she asked the guy behind her, "Hey, do you have any new models? These are all old models from last year, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, miss, you have good taste. These are all old models in our store. Although they are old models, they are genuine and of high quality. If you want to buy new models, please follow me to the second floor. We added new models to our store half a month ago, and a few more models arrived yesterday. Some of them are especially suitable for your age, but the prices are a bit expensive. Please follow me, miss." The clerk was very enthusiastic and took Pearl and her group to the second floor.
There are four or five private rooms on the second floor facing the window, so the hall is much smaller than the first floor. There are only six or seven cabinets for displaying ornaments.
The waiter welcomed everyone into a VIP room in the back room, served tea and snacks, and then brought in a few wooden trays. On the wooden trays were a few hairpins, as well as matching earrings and bracelets. You can buy them separately or in combination. The jewelry designs are very special. If you wear them together, they won't make you feel complicated, and if you buy them alone, they won't make you feel thin. The wisdom of the ancient working people is really convincing.
Rong Jue pulled Xiao Yuan to sit on the chair in the box and turned on the foodie mode. It happened that they were a little thirsty after walking, and the osmanthus honey water provided by the waiter of Jin Yu Man Tang was very delicious. Rong Jue and Xiao Yuan were not polite and drank a cup each.
Rong Jin looked at Rong Jue and Xiao Yuan who were relaxed beside the small table, then looked at Pearl and Flower Bud who were huddled together, their attention focused on the jewelry. He quickly went downstairs, ran straight to the counter, took out two hundred silver bills, and asked the clerk downstairs to wrap up the cat's eye silver hairpin and put it in his arms.
Then he strolled around the counter again, went upstairs as if nothing had happened, returned to the private room, and sat next to Xiaoyuan. He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Xiaoyuan next to him glanced at him, then glanced at his chest without saying a word.
"Cousin, I think this is beautiful." Han Qingge picked up a four-butterfly gold-covered silver hairpin and said to Zhenzhu.
The body of the hairpin should be made of gold and silver, and is relatively stiff. The top part has four small branches, each with a pure gold butterfly on it.
The wings of the butterfly are made very thin, with fine lines on the wings. With a slight shake, the four butterflies seem to be about to flutter away, delicate and lively, and lifelike.
Under each of the butterfly's wings hung a golden tassel, and under each tassel hung two thin golden leaves.
As you can imagine, when it is inserted into the bun, with the slight swaying of walking, the whole hairpin will present the scene of "lingering butterflies dancing from time to time". If you pin a few pearl flowers on the bun, it will look even better.
Zhenzhu took it in her hand and looked at it, then nodded slightly. She turned to look at the clerk, and before she could ask the price, the clerk beside her spoke clearly, "Miss, this hairpin is the latest model this year. It just arrived at the store yesterday, and only two were made. A lady bought one this morning, and this is the only one left. The asking price for this hairpin is 580 taels."
Hualei was shocked. So expensive? Although the hairpin was indeed a top-notch product, it didn't seem worth it. Hualei, who was always pragmatic, looked away. She thought she had spent 580 taels when she bought Baihua Manor. Hualei couldn't imagine having to carry a manor on her head. If it disappeared, wouldn't that mean she would lose a manor?
After hearing this, Zhenzhu nodded gently, put the Four Butterfly Hairpin back into the wooden tray, and picked up another Zhenzhu Hairpin next to it.
The hairpin is relatively long, with five pearls arranged in order from large to small from the top. At the bottom of the largest pearl hangs a pearl flower made of small pearls, and below the pearl flower are five tassels made of small pearls as big as rice grains.
The biggest advantage of this hairpin is that each pearl is naturally pink, round and flawless. Even if it is only as big as a grain of rice, it is still a light pink.
With a slight shake, the natural luster of the pearls is looming, gentle and elegant. Although the craftsmanship is not as exquisite as the previous golden step-shaking, judging by the material, natural pink pearls can also be considered extremely rare.
Pearl was a little hesitant. Hualei next to her handed her a bracelet. It was not an ordinary jade bracelet, but a gold bracelet made of pure gold with three thin plain circles.
It is not entirely correct to say that they are plain rings, because each of them is engraved with smooth cloud patterns, and the three rings are strung together with an oval pearl, so that when worn on the hand, the three thin bracelets will not be completely separated. Two golden lotus flowers are hung on each thin bracelet, so when worn on the hand, a slight bump will make a thin sound, which is very crisp.
Pearl's eyes lit up, she put down the pearl hairpin in her hand, took the gold bracelet, shook it gently, and the lotus flowers on the stems bumped against each other, making a slight sound.
The waiter brought a basin of clean water and a piece of soap. Pearl wet her hands, applied the soap, rubbed her hands together, and her hands became smooth.
Hualei took the bracelet, gently pinched the widest part of Pearl's palm with one hand, held the bracelet with the other hand, and with a little force, the gold bracelet was put on Pearl's white wrist.
Hualei took the wet cloth next to her and wiped Pearl's hand carefully. She shook Pearl's hand gently, and the bracelets on Pearl's wrist collided with each other, and the lotus flowers also collided with each other, making a series of thin sounds, crisp and pleasant.
Pearl couldn't help but smile. Hualei leaned over again and whispered something in Pearl's ear.
"Oh, Sister Hua, you are making fun of me again." Pearl looked shy.
Hua Lei smiled and turned to ask the guy in front of her, "Brother, how much silver is this bracelet?"
"Miss, you have good taste. This is the latest bracelet in our store, named "Blooming Flowers and Full Moon". Miss, please look, this plain ring engraved with cloud patterns is as round as a full moon, and the small pendant on it is also a twin lotus made of pure gold. It means that flowers are in full bloom and the moon is full, and love is stronger than gold.
