Chapter 265 Who Made Miss Angry!(1/2)
Chapter 265 Who made the lady angry?
Zhenbao Pavilion is one of Bai Mohuai's most profitable shops, located in the most prosperous location of Zhuque Street.
No store in Kyoto can rival Jumbo Pavilion.
There are countless treasures from all over the world, including pearls and sea products from the south of the Yangtze River, silks and spices from the Western Regions, falcons and rare animals from the desert, glassware from Persia, etc. Everything is priceless, and the people who come and go are very valuable.
Wealth means wealth.
Bai Xianyu walked to the counter, and several store clerks gathered around him. They smiled and bent down: "Miss."
"Um."
"What do you want, young lady? I will have someone carry it over for you to choose."
At Baixianyu's shop in Baimohuai, you can always choose and use whatever you want.
These guys are also very skilled, and they are all eager to try.
"Bring me the best red coral."
"yes!"
After the clerk responded, he paused and asked carefully: "I wonder if Miss wants a red coral bracelet. What else is there on her head and face?"
Princess Jing'an likes red coral the most. She has many red coral heads and faces, and she also likes to display red coral in the courtyard.
Bai Xianyu thought for a while, "All of them, as long as they are of good quality, I will choose."
"yes!"
Soon, all the red coral ornaments in the shop were moved over, including several bonsais with huge red coral trees on them.
This formation soon attracted a large crowd of people to watch.
At this time, there were two familiar people in Zhenbao Pavilion.
Aunt Yu held Lu Xi's hand, and the two of them wandered around the shop, "Xier, do you feel better after strolling around?"
Lu Xi's gloomy expression improved a little, "It's getting better."
Aunt Yu patted her hand, looking guilty, "Nanny doesn't have much money, and she can't afford the things here, but I can go shopping with you."
Lu Xi hummed and said calmly: "Originally I couldn't buy much, but my parents recently gave me a lot of monthly money, which is considered as compensation, before I married to Xiyi."
Aunt Yu showed an envious expression, "This is great. I have accompanied my master here before. The things here are not very expensive. Xi'er, you can spend it, but your parents will give it to you after you spend it."
of."
"Yeah." Lu Xi glanced at the hairpin rings standing around. Among them, a red coral earring was particularly beautiful and was placed in the center.
She was quickly attracted to the eye, and a waiter came forward and introduced: "Miss, you have really good taste. This red coral earring is made from the most dazzling position of red coral. It is particularly precious and of good quality. It can be compared with tribute items."
, Wearing it, the young lady will definitely be the most beautiful woman in Kyoto."
Lu Xi was observing the surrounding jewelry. It was obvious that the red coral earrings were the rarest, so the placement was also the most eye-catching.
She estimated that she could buy five or six more pieces of earring jewelry surrounding the red coral earrings.
If you buy red coral earrings, I'm afraid you can only buy this one.
But Lu Xi still made up her mind, not because of anything else, but because of this guy's last words, "You said, if I wear it, I will be the most beautiful woman in Kyoto?"
The guy nodded. They had said this kind of compliment too many times, and they didn't know why the young lady in front of him had to repeat it again.
Just as she was about to be cruel, a voice came from beside her - "Xiao Zhangzi, quickly get this red coral earring next to you."
Xiao Zhangzi was the guy who introduced Lu Xi. He was stunned for a moment and said, "What's wrong?"
Lu Xi also looked over.
The waiter had a clean kerchief draped over his shoulders and held a lot of various red coral ornaments in his hands. His eyes were still scanning around, as if to see if there was anything missing.
"Our lady is here and she wants to see the good red coral." He took the time to take a look at the red coral earrings. "Although these are not of the best quality, they are still good enough. Let's take them over and show them to the lady."
At this time, he saw the ugly-looking woman and smiled awkwardly, "Has it already been sold? I'm sorry, miss. To us, these items are treasures from heaven, but we miss are used to seeing them.
Rare, so the villain said those words unconsciously..."
Xiao Zhangzi's eyebrows knitted into knots, "Stop explaining!" I didn't see that the more I explained, the uglier this lady's face became!
Lu Xi's face finally improved, but it was now a bit ugly. She always paid attention to her manners in front of others. Many people knew about her affairs, and she didn't want to make them laugh anymore.
She suppressed her anger and said, "So are you saying that I haven't seen anything rare?"
Aunt Yu didn't care so much. She raised her eyebrows and said, "You ladies just come from a merchant's family. Our Miss Xi'er is the eldest daughter of a serious imperial censor! Who has seen the world better than the other?
For sure!"
The noise was loud, and a group of people quickly gathered around.
Lu Xi wished she could sew Aunt Yu's mouth shut. Didn't she know that this shop belonged to the Bai family?
Aunt Yu really didn't know that she had only been here once with her former master, and she was not a personal maid or a slave in charge of purchasing.
The waiter lowered his waist and said very respectfully: "Our young lady is the fifth young lady of Zhenguo General's Mansion, and this shop belongs to my second young master."
Grandma Yu was a little confused.
"This is actually Mr. Bai's shop!"
"Don't you just know this? When I came here with my mother before, I heard my mother talk about it. It is no joke that the second son of the Bai family is so rich that he can rival the country."
"Who is this woman? The aunt next to her looks so mean and unworldly. Could it be that Bai Xianyu has seen less things than this woman?"
"The eldest daughter of the imperial censor..." Someone thought for a moment, "Isn't that called Lu Xi?"
There was an eerie silence in the air.
After all, they were all well-established in their families and did not say what they were thinking, but their eyes could not deceive others.
Some time ago, the incident between Lu Xi and the third prince of Xiyi was seen by many palace maids and eunuchs. There is no airtight wall in the world, and many of the concubines in each palace came from the families of Kyoto courtiers. This coming and going has become a problem.
There are no open secrets anymore.
Along with the news that Lu Xi was given to Xiyi, it spread.
Lu Xi seemed to have had her fig leaf ripped off in public. She clenched her fists, gritted her teeth tightly, and her cheeks bulged slightly.
The waiter saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly smoothed things over. He did not want to offend any noble lady, "Miss, do you still want these red coral earrings?"
Lu Xi mocked: "I don't even bother to buy such low-quality red coral."
The waiter smiled coquettishly and took away the red coral earrings.
The people in the shop were afraid that Bai Xianyu would get tired from standing, so they brought her a chair made of golden nanmu.
At this time, there were already many red coral jewelry.
Those who had been watching the bustle in Luxi just now were attracted by the movements here one after another.
"It's all red coral, this is too big!"
"As expected of Bai Xianyu, I heard that the second master of the Bai family will actually give her an order for the Zhenbao Pavilion before purchasing the goods. If she likes something, she will keep it directly and it will not flow into the Zhenbao Pavilion. Then
It is the eldest son of the Bai family, the third son and the others who choose him."
"This is so happy! If I had a brother like this, I would lie here every day and do nothing. Just watching, I would be so happy."
"It's even more amazing now. The Hou family in Zhenbei is also extremely wealthy. What kind of family background does the young Marquis have? Bai Xianyu is the mistress of the Hou family, the daughter-in-law of Princess Jing'an, and your Majesty's nephew.
Wife, you can have whatever you want, you are really lucky..."
Bai Xianyu stood up and walked around among these objects, and his ears could not help but hear some comments.
She smiled softly and asked Lvzhu to take two red coral bracelets and a set of masks. She also ordered: "Move these two pots of red coral trees for me as well, be careful."
The guy hummed, and called a few people to join him. He smiled and said, "It's Miss, we'll move it right away."
"These are indeed the best among them. The white fish is like picking cabbage. It's really annoying to compare people with each other."
"Isn't it true? I have to hesitate for a long time to buy a hairpin."
"I think I might just be able to afford that pair of earrings, but they are pretty good-looking and of good quality. They match my red dress very well."
Red coral has always been a precious thing, especially loved by the royal family.
The court beads of emperors of all dynasties were all made of the finest red coral. High-ranking ministers would also have traces of coral on their court crowns. Among noble ladies from aristocratic families, if someone had a complete set of red coral heads and faces, it would be very impressive.
Lu Xi stared closely at the red coral earrings at the edge of the corner, and the jealousy in her eyes was about to become uncontrollable.
Why, Bai Xianyu gets whatever he wants.
And she has to think twice before buying earrings!
After Bai Xianyu finished picking the fish, he noticed a vicious gaze. He looked up and saw Lu Xi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
And Lu Xi was actually accompanied by Grandma Yu.
Lu Zhu asked strangely: "Why is it her? Isn't there a maid named Yan'er next to Miss Lu? That Yan'er is fierce."
Bai Li whispered: "My subordinates found out that this Aunt Yu has no children and has a very close relationship with Miss Lu. She seems to treat her as a daughter."
Bai Xianyu raised his eyelids casually, "Yeah."
