Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm
Chapter 153: Choosing Jewelry in the Gold, Jade and Silver Shop
After careful selection, Li Changle picked out a pair of gold earrings, a pair of pearl earrings, a gold hairpin with plum blossom branches, and a gold peony hairpin, all of which were simple and elegant.
Bought it... for myself.
As she was choosing, she realized that she might be too plain.
Apart from a few sets of head ornaments sent as New Year gifts from the Sun family in Kyoto, the only thing the family had was a hairpin given by the magistrate's wife.
Those sets of headgear were too eye-catching and were pushed to the bottom of the box.
No matter what, she is now a wealthy lady, and when she goes out, she should not only look impressive, but also have a few decent pieces of jewelry to show off...
So, prepare a few things for yourself.
She put these aside and continued to look at them one by one.
"Shopkeeper, I bought it to add to my makeup. I want something more luxurious."
The old shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Madam, are you buying this as a gift? Please wait a moment. I have a few items that just arrived at the store two days ago."
He turned around and took down two wooden boxes from the antique display shelf and carefully placed them on the counter on the other side.
"What good stuff! The shopkeeper is still hiding it..." Li Changle stretched his neck to look at the wooden box that the old shopkeeper had already opened.
The shopkeeper took out pieces of jewelry from a large box and placed them on a tray covered with red silk on the counter, "Madam, please look, this is a complete set of jeweled head ornaments.
A butterfly hairpin inlaid with rubies and gold filigree, a bracelet inlaid with red and blue sapphires, gourd earrings inlaid with gold filigree, a necklace inlaid with multi-treasures and a pair of rings inlaid with red rubies and gold filigree.
"There are six pieces in total. Madam, please take a good look. These gems are not easy to come by. The master goldsmith spent a lot of time to make them. There is only one set."
"Giving gifts must be presentable."
" ..."
Li Changle stared at the six-piece headgear and his heart trembled.
She is beautiful, and the gift she gives is decent enough. Even if she goes to give dowry to the emperor's daughter, the gift will not seem too shabby.
The house is filled with gold and jade, and looks like a sea of flowers, very lively and bustling.
but……
She looked up and asked calmly, "Boss, how much is this headdress?"
"Hehe..." The old shopkeeper rubbed his hands, afraid of scaring away the gentle-looking woman in front of him.
"If you like it, Madam, please buy it. If you don't buy it today, it may be gone if you come back in two days."
"The shopkeeper hasn't told me the price yet..." Li Changle stared at another box, "What's in this box?"
The shopkeeper naturally opened the small box.
Inside is a pair of intricately crafted combs inlaid with a row of small pearls. There are also thin tassels hanging from one end of the combs, which are exquisite and small.
"Madam, this is a pair of combs, the workmanship is also top-notch. Don't underestimate these two small items, but they are from a great source. These pearls are from the southern sea and are extremely rare."
Li Changle said, "The price is pretty high, right? What's the price?"
"..." The old shopkeeper was speechless. Can good goods be cheap?
"Madam, this set of jeweled head ornaments costs nine hundred taels of silver, and a pair of hairpins costs four hundred taels."
Li Changle: "...Hehe."
Good guy!
It turns out that the Bijia Mountain and the lake cost about one thousand taels of silver, and they were bought at a cheap price?
The old shopkeeper glanced at Li Changle, and seeing the pain on her face, he knew that this person probably didn't want to buy it.
He began to put the jewelry on the tray back into the big box one by one, "Madam, have you ever heard of rare goods being valuable?
The gemstones and pearls on it alone must have been very cheap, and it is also inlaid with gold and filigree. The craftsmanship of the master craftsman is also worth a lot of money.
Our place is not like the south or Kyoto. It is easy to find any valuable items as long as you have silver.
Usually, if there are any rare jewelry in my silver shop, they can't be kept for a few days. If you want it, you should act quickly.
I'm not saying anything, this is only in Li County. If they were in Kyoto, these pieces of jewelry would be worth more than this price. They would be in great demand even if they were worth twice as much."
Li Changle couldn't help but roll her eyes towards the roof. How could this old shopkeeper be so boastful? It was difficult for her to get a word in.
Seeing that the box was closed, Li Changle was quick to put his hand on the lid.
The master who was going to move the box back to the antique display cabinet said: "......"
Li Changle: "...Why are you in such a hurry, boss? I didn't say I don't want to buy it."
The old shopkeeper was delighted and asked, "Which one would you like, Madam?"
Li Changle pointed at the big box and said bluntly: "I want everything in here. Please give me a suitable price."
"Then... what price do you think is appropriate, Madam?"
"Five hundred taels!"
The old shopkeeper's wrinkled face twitched constantly, "Madam, you are joking. This business cannot be done..."
Li Changle thought about what her mother had said, that when buying things, you should bargain in half, but she was embarrassed and never bargained.
She asked Li Ping to bargain for the house in the west of the city, and it cost less than two thousand taels.
Nine hundred taels to buy a few pieces of jewelry...
She cut it reluctantly.
She felt that if she just paid, she would look a bit silly.
"...Six hundred taels?"
The old shopkeeper raised the box with both hands and was about to turn around, but Li Changle pushed the box back to the counter.
"Then seven hundred taels?"
The old shopkeeper narrowed his eyes, was silent for a while, and said unhappily: "Eight hundred and fifty taels, no less! Or Madam, you can go look somewhere else!"
Li Changle took a breath...
Never mind, fifty taels less is not bad... ?
The house that I bought for more than a thousand taels was now only a hundred taels short.
"I bought it, I bought it. The shopkeeper is so hard to talk to. Who doesn't bargain when buying things?"
He takes away things if there is any disagreement.
The old shopkeeper's beard twitched on his chin: "Who wants to bargain for half the price? Our jewelry and gold are not fake. Madam, are you just playing with them?"
Li Changle looked at the old shopkeeper awkwardly, watching him move the small box, and pushed the box down with one hand, "Wait a minute!"
"...You want a comb too?" The old shopkeeper pursed his lips tightly. If he hadn't just argued with Li Changle, he would have laughed out loud.
"Not only this comb, but also the pair of earrings and two hairpins that I just picked out. The shopkeeper still has to give me a suitable price." When saying the last sentence, Li Changle smiled sweetly and amiably.
There are so many places to spend money, so the less the better.
"Don't worry, my Jinyuyinlou is just like the Wanjia Restaurant next door. They are both time-honored brands in Li County and we never cheat anyone. Of course, Madam also has a discerning eye for quality."
The old shopkeeper took the abacus and buried his head in calculating the money, without even looking up while talking.
He was afraid that if he looked up, the woman would see that he could no longer hide the smile on his lips.
You are really generous.
Only the ladies and young ladies from the first few households in the east of the city could have such a posture!
However, the ladies of the East City families were always surrounded by people whenever they went out...
In the end, Li Changle spent 1,500 taels to buy a total of eleven pieces of jewelry!
There were six sets of jeweled head ornaments in the big box, two tassel-style pearl combs, a pair of earrings counting as one piece, and two gold hairpins in the small box.
I have added dowry to the eldest granddaughter of the Sun family, and I also bought some jewelry for myself.
Another mountain, and more jewels, today is still a fruitful day.
