Chapter 27 Sad

Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/  The latest work of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng!

When the sisters in the mansion bought headwear, they were not impatient to wear it for others to see, but she bought it, not for wearing it, but for watching it. They were filled with hairpins on the small table and admired it one by one. To be honest, she was moved several times and wanted to steal the pile of hairpins.

If you buy it, you can't put down a small table.

Gu Rulan had already reported to the old lady about her going out, so she didn't go any further and headed straight to the gate of Bo's Mansion.

After getting on the carriage, Gu Rulan ordered the coachman to tell him, "Go to Qinyufang."

Because Minglan accompanied her, Gu Rulan was extremely attentive and poured tea for Minglan and said sweetly, "Second sister drinks tea."

Minglan was not polite either. He held the teacup and sipped two sips.

It took half an hour before the carriage arrived at Qinyufang.

Gu Rulan got off the carriage first, then helped Minglan down, and the two of them entered the shop. The young man came up and said, "I don't know what the two girls are going to buy?"

Gu Rulan pulled Minglan aside and said, "I bought a jade hairpin, which is the hairpin of the red peacock."

The young man was stunned and said, "Miss is late. The hairpin was bought by someone yesterday."

As the young man said, Minglan looked at Gu Rulan and saw her face frozen with joy, her eyes turned red, and she was almost crying.

The young man said, "We have many other hairpins in our store. Do you want to take a look?"

"Who bought that hairpin?" Gu Rulan asked with difficulty.

She thought about it for a long time and begged for a long time, and finally got what she wanted. As a result, the hairpin was sold yesterday. She sent a maid to see it the day before yesterday.

The guy shook his head, "I don't know this."

Even if he knows, he can't say it.

Minglan couldn't understand Gu Rulan's persistence in hairpin, so she became much more casual and couldn't buy this one. There were still a lot to choose from.

Gu Rulan didn't say anything. The young man thought she probably liked the hairpin very much, so he said, "Actually, there is a peacock hairpin in our store, which is more exquisite in style, but it is twice as expensive."

Qinyufang is only considered medium among so many jewelry shops in Kyoto. Generally, those who come to their shops to buy headdresses are mostly between 20 taels and 120 taels, and 20 taels are very few. If it is too expensive, you can go to Shuyu Pavilion on the street.

It’s not that the jewelry in Qinyufang must be as beautiful as the one in Shuyu Pavilion, but the shop is larger, with two floors, and is more famous. When others heard that it was the headdress of Shuyufang, they put the hairpin in their hearts with the word expensive.

Jingning Bo Mansion can only be considered a last resort among the powerful people in Kyoto. He also bought the headdresses of Shuyu Pavilion, but few, most of them were bought in ordinary shops. Qinyufang's headdresses were very suitable for Gu Rulan's appetite.

Seeing that she couldn't put down the hairpin, Minglan told the young man, "Take out another peacock hairpin and I'll take a look."

Gu Rulan looked at her and said, "What are you looking at? If it's too beautiful and she can't afford it, she will be unable to eat or sleep when she looks back."

The young man just said that he would call for a red peacock hairpin as soon as he entered the shop, which means that he had seen it before and was thinking about it. If he didn't buy it until now, it means that he was tight and the price was twice as expensive, so he couldn't afford it.

However, looking at Minglan and Gu Rulan's clothes, if you really like them, you will definitely be able to buy them. It's just going back to act coquettishly with your parents.

The guy hurriedly took out the hairpin because it was expensive, so he put it in a brocade box alone.

As soon as the brocade box was opened, Minglan saw Gu Rulan's eyes lit up.

She looked at the guy several times, then looked at the young man and said, "This hairpin is jastic. It looks different from the red jade peacock hairpin, why is the price twice as much?"

The young man smiled and said, "Miss, I don't know. Although this hairpin looks like a jasper, this circle of jaspers is made of night pearls. It is ordinary during the day, but at night, it shines."

Afraid that Minglan and the others didn't believe it, the young man took a piece of black silk to cover the hairpin and saw a little light.

It's really a night pearl.

Minglan was surprised, "How could anyone make the Night Pearl into a jade hairpin? Isn't it too wasteful?"

The young man smiled and said, "It's not a waste of resources. It's just that a little night pearl is broken and it's worthless. It's ground into small particles and embedded on the jade hairpin. This hairpin is not expensive for 400 taels."

Minglan smiled and said, "It's not expensive, but it's for people to wear it. In broad daylight, this hairpin is not unique."

The guy was silent and had no way to refute.

Gu Rulan touched the jade hairpin. Obviously, the jade hairpin entered her eyes and could not be pulled out.

When Minglan saw this, she could guess that Gu Rulan was already thinking about how to buy two hundred two hairpins, so she told the young man, "Pack it up."

Gu Rulan turned his head and looked at Minglan, and said in surprise, "Second sister wants to buy it?"

Minglan nodded and asked Bizhu to take out the silver notes.

Bizhu took out the silver notes and wanted to hand them to the young man. The young man stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, but Bizhu took the silver notes back, causing the young man to pounce on it.

The young man frowned, and Bizhu pointed at a pair of white earrings and said, "My girl bought such an expensive headdress, but she didn't even bargain. Is it okay to add this pair of earrings?"

The guy hesitated for a moment and then gave the blond earrings to Bizhu.

Those who can be taken out are all maids, trustworthy. What such maids say can affect the master. When the girl turns around, she wants to come in. The maid says that the shop in front is better, wouldn’t she missed the business?

These maids can't afford to offend them either.

After receiving the blond earrings, Bizhu readily handed the silver note to the young man.

There was no outsider in the shop, Bizhu shook her earrings at Minglan. Minglan smiled and said, "You will give it to you based on your ability."

When Xianglan saw this, her eyes widened, "Is that OK?"

Bizhu raised her neck and said, "Of course it's OK, it's normal to buy things and bargain."

But the girl thought the bargaining was embarrassing. She was a maid and had no face to lose. Of course, it would be affordable.

A few months ago, Bizhu was shopping and saw an aunt on the street buying vegetables. The bargain failed. However, when the aunt paid, she asked the vendor to order other vegetables for her. The vendor agreed. Later, when Minglan was shopping, Bizhu tentatively asked for a small silver ring.

Then, when Minglan bought things, she developed the habit of asking for gifts. Of course, it was not successful every time, but most shopkeepers were quite generous, and she had a bead flower at the worst...

Xianglan's intestines were destroyed, so why didn't she know how to bargain when the girl bought a headdress? Looking at the white earrings in Bizhu's hand, Xianglan felt that she had suffered heavy losses.

The young man packed the jade hairpin in a brocade box and handed it to Minglan to see.

Minglan took it and gave it to Gu Rulan casually, and said with a smile, "I'll give it to you."

Gu Rulan was stunned and pointed at himself and said, "I gave it to me?"

Minglan nodded.

Gu Rulan shook his head like a rattle, "I can't ask for it, this hairpin is too expensive..."

Minglan put it in her arms and said, "You just take it and wait for you to raise 400 taels. This hairpin will probably be sold again, and you will be sad again."

This sentence means that Gu Rulan has gone to the heart. She hesitated for a moment, reached out to take the brocade box, and then said, "Then I will lend you four hundred taels. When I save the money, I will repay you."

Minglan smiled gently, "You don't have to pay it back. Just accompany me to Yi'an Hou Mansion in a while."
