Chapter 22 The Key Person Appears
Chu Wanying didn't really study these things. She just thought they looked good and took a few more glances. She asked casually, "Are you the only one in the whole town who has pearl jewelry?"
Shopkeeper Qiu heard that she wanted to shop around, and immediately patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, girl! Not to mention that there is no better shop than mine in the whole town, not even in the whole Yunqing County! All the jewelry sellers in the town
There are only two stores, and the other one is at the end of the street. I am not telling you that their products are indeed not authentic!"
A ray of sunlight pours in from the window, and the pearls have a delicate luster, which is translucent and truly beautiful.
Chu Wanying put down her earrings and raised her eyes to glance at Shopkeeper Qiu, who immediately burst into laughter and said, "What? Girl, do you like these pearl earrings? If you like them, the price can be negotiated!"
"Shopkeeper Qiu, what are the styles of pearl earrings in your store? Or is this the only one?" Chu Wanying looked to her left.
"The style is indeed relatively simple. It would be great if a small place like ours can have such products. How dare we compare with the stores in the capital!"
Shopkeeper Qiu was telling the truth.
"Then how much pearl jewelry do you have in stock? I just want to stock up on some pearls. You also know that ground pearls are the best for beauty. I want to stock up on some for myself."
"Oh! The little girl is such a delicate person! But unfortunately, there are not many pearl jewelry stores in this store. It would be good to buy five or six pieces like this every year. If you want a gold and jadeite, I have some.
Unfortunately, you have to go to Dai Viet to get pearls, which is inconvenient after all.
You see, it’s already the end of the year, and I’ve only purchased four items this year despite my full budget. One of them, a necklace, was just sold to you a few days ago!”
Just four pieces?
When Chu Wanying heard this, her eyes lit up.
"Shopkeeper Qiu, you have such a good memory! I was also thinking that if the jewelry I bought at your house was damaged someday, I would get it from you to help me repair it. I thought you were too forgetful to remember mine.
.When you say that, I feel relieved."
She deliberately put a high hat on Shopkeeper Qiu so that she could get out what she wanted to know.
"Girl, just keep your heart in mind! My store has been operating here for more than ten years. Who knows that I, Lao Qiu, have a good memory? Don't tell me what you have bought. Even if you ask me to tell you what year and day you bought it,
I can tell you exactly when you bought it and who you came with!"
When Chu Wanying saw Shopkeeper Qiu's nose almost rising to the sky, she felt happy and immediately pursued the victory.
"No wonder! I told you that Sister Sisi introduced me to your store, and you were right!"
"Sisi? Are you talking about Xing Sisi from the old Xing family in Yunluo Village?" Shopkeeper Qiu looked at her in astonishment upon hearing this.
The girl took out a handkerchief she had prepared in advance and said, "That's her. You must have heard about her too?"
Shopkeeper Qiu sighed, "Of course I know about that child. He has a gentle and kind temperament. He always brought his sisters to my place to help me earn some money to support the family. It's just a pity that beauty is so miserable!"
"Yes! Such a good sister Sisi was killed like this!" As she said that, the girl's eyes turned red and she picked up the handkerchief and wiped her eyes.
"Hey, girl, don't be sad. This is life! I heard that her sister Cuicui died suddenly a few days ago? These two good children died unjustly!"
Looking at the way shopkeeper Qiu sighed sadly, he seemed to really feel sorry for what happened to these two girls.
But she didn't dare to take it lightly and continued, "Well, I know that there are not many people as kind-hearted as you in this world. I heard Sister Sisi say before that you are so kind to her! I think she knows something.
, there will definitely be some comfort.”
"What did the girl say? Sisi and Cuicui are about the same age as my son. I treat them both as my own daughters! Originally, I thought that if I were destined, I could join the old Xing family in this relationship.
It's just a matter of marriage, who knew something like this would happen."
Chu Wanying was suddenly shocked when she heard that a key figure had appeared, but her face still showed a sad look.
"It's because the two sisters were not lucky enough to get into a family as good as yours. By the way, Shopkeeper Qiu, these are a pair of earrings that Sister Sisi left for me before she left. She asked me to keep them as a thought.
Yes, it's just that I was too stupid and somehow lost one. Now there is only one left alone, which is really a pity.
The reason I came here today is to ask you if you have the same one, so that we can make a pair easily."
Shopkeeper Qiu took the pearl earrings handed over by the girl and looked at them again and again. Suddenly, his expression was stunned for a moment, "Are you sure Sisi gave this to you?"
Chu Wanying nodded, "Yes! Is there any problem?"
In fact, what she said was very sincere. After all, it was unknown whether this earring belonged to Xing Sisi. She came here today just to try her luck!
Secondly, it would be a good idea to trick the shopkeeper by the way, just in case you can actually get the pearls.
In short, why not do something that kills two birds with one stone?
Shopkeeper Qiu frowned and said to himself, "These earrings are indeed from my store, but I didn't sell them to anyone! How did Sisi get them?"
After saying that, he went straight to the shelf on the counter and took down a delicate small box. When he opened it, he found that it was empty.
"How could it be like this!" Shopkeeper Qiu was stunned for a long time. Seeing that the girl was still standing beside him, he quickly woke up and said seriously, "Girl, when did she give you this earring?"
Chu Wanying was immediately stopped by his question. She roughly guessed the time of Xing Sisi's death. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth and said, "It was at the beginning of this year, roughly after the year, when she returned to her hometown from the capital to visit relatives.
He stopped by to see me and gave me this earring before leaving."
When the man heard this, his face turned pale, his steps were frivolous, his body was unsteady for a moment, and he actually took two steps back.
Chu Wanying knew that this time, it seemed that she had made the right bet.
She pretended to be surprised, "Shopkeeper Qiu, what's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong?"
Shopkeeper Qiu supported his body and waved his hand to her, as if he didn't want to say anything more. He just said to her, "Girl, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable today. I will close the door and take a rest soon. I'm afraid I won't be able to take your business."
But don’t worry, I will definitely find a way to get you an identical pair of earrings."
From what this means, does he want to take away the earrings?
Chu Wanying frowned and was about to say that wouldn't work, but unexpectedly Rong Zhan's voice came from behind -
"Then there's shopkeeper Lao Qiu." After saying that, he turned to face her with a smile on his lips, "Are you interested in any new gadgets? Why don't we buy them together."
Chu Wanying couldn't see the meaning of his words, so she just nodded and said, "I like it, I think these earrings are good!"
She pointed randomly and pointed at the pair of pink pearl earrings that had been in front of her for a long time.
