My wife is number one in the world

Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly with a smile, then walked forward unhurriedly, silently and quickly examining the various goods on the shelves.

Seeing this, Xiao Ke'ai and Lei Jun immediately set off and headed towards a different container.

Kriike gently pursed her luscious red lips twice, and was about to lift her lotus feet to walk towards the little cutie when she suddenly heard Young Master Liu say in a gentle voice, "Kriike, come here for a moment."

When Kri saw Young Master Liu calling to him, he quickly stopped in his tracks and turned around with a smile, heading straight for Young Master Liu.

"Hey, here it comes, here it comes."

After Kriy stopped beside Young Master Liu, she spoke softly, her lips slightly parted, "Uncle Liu, what brings my daughter here?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi smiled faintly and turned to look at Kriiko, who had already come to his side.

“Yike, you are familiar with the goods in your family’s shop. Tell your uncle which items in this small room are suitable for you and your sister Yue’er and other young ladies to use or wear.”

When Kriy heard that Young Master Liu wanted her to introduce some items suitable for young women, she immediately smiled and nodded twice.

“Alright, I’ll introduce you to Uncle Liu right away.”

After giving Liu Dashao a soft, smiling reply, Kriiko immediately lifted her lotus foot and walked towards a mahogany box about half a foot in size to Liu Dashao's right.

She has been managing this shop for several years and has long since memorized every item in the various small rooms on the third floor.

Therefore, as soon as Young Master Liu stated his requirements for the goods, she instantly knew what items to provide for him.

Liu Mingzhi did not stop looking at the goods on the container just because Kriike was helping him choose return gifts.

While Yike is helping out, I can still continue with my own work; I can manage both perfectly well!

Kriyko raised her delicate, white hands and took out a hairpin from the roughly half-foot-long mahogany box. Then, she gently turned her slender waist and raised the hairpin to Liu Shao.

"Uncle Liu, what do you think of this hairpin?"

As Liu Mingzhi listened to Kriyko's soft, questioning voice, he turned slightly to look at the hairpin she held in her fair, delicate hand.

It was a hairpin full of Roman style, its design revealing a touch of flamboyant and wild beauty.

Honestly, Young Master Liu felt that the style of this hairpin was very much in line with his aesthetic sense.

But simply conforming to one's own aesthetic sense is useless!
You should know that Lei Jun is from Yangzhou in Jiangnan.

Women in Yangzhou are mostly gentle, virtuous, and delicate. Lei Jun's daughter, Lei Chuqing, grew up in Yangzhou from a young age, and her personality is also generally gentle, virtuous, and delicate.

Therefore, it's useless if this style of hairpin suits one's own aesthetic; it must also suit the aesthetic of Lei Chuqing, a girl who grew up in Yangzhou!

Seeing that Young Master Liu had turned around and looked at the hairpin in his hand, Kriek opened his mouth slightly and continued softly, "Uncle Liu, this style of hairpin is very popular in our Roman country. It is most suitable for women who are between sixteen and twenty-three or twenty-four years old."

In our Roman country, many young women of marriageable age would buy one or several of these hairpins.

Sometimes, some men would buy one or two hairpins to give to their mothers or daughters.

Of course, while the styles are different, the materials and craftsmanship of the hairpins are completely different.

The hairpin in my hand is of exceptional quality, both in terms of materials and craftsmanship.

As soon as Kriyiko's clear and melodious voice fell, Young Master Liu smiled faintly and raised his eyes, shifting his gaze from the hairpin in Kriyiko's jade hand to her exquisite face.

"Yike, this hairpin is quite nice."

However, Uncle, the girl I wanted to give a gift to is a gentle and graceful woman. This style of hairpin is a little too flamboyant for her, and she might not like it.

"Yike, do you have any hairpins here that have a subtle, understated beauty?"

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's request, Kriy nodded a few times with a beaming smile.

"Yes, Uncle Liu, yes, yes, we have the kind of hairpin you described."

However, that style of hairpin is not in this small room now, but in the second room next door!
Moreover, those hairpins were not goods from our Roman country, but from the Kingdom of Egypt to the southwest.

"Uncle Liu, what do you think? Are you planning to go to the small room next door now, or wait until you've looked at the goods in this small room before going?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before smiling and saying loudly, "Yike, let's look at the goods in this small room first before going to the room you mentioned."

After all, I, your uncle, don't necessarily have to give you hairpins as a gift; other accessories are fine as long as they're suitable.

Upon hearing what Young Master Liu said, Kriy immediately nodded twice without hesitation.

"Yes, yes, I understand. Then I will fetch some other items for you to take a look at, Uncle."

"Ok."

Liu Mingzhi responded softly to Kriyko with an unchanged smile, then immediately turned around and continued to silently examine the items on the container.

Seeing this, Kriyi first gently turned her slender waist to put the hairpin in her jade hand back into the mahogany box, then lifted her lotus feet and walked towards another mahogany box that had already been opened.

Liu Mingzhi casually glanced at the items in the various boxes in front of him, and after confirming that there was nothing he needed, he set off to continue walking forward.

After taking two small steps forward, he quickly looked at the goods on the container.

Suddenly.

Liu Mingzhi suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, then immediately took two small steps back.

Immediately, he glanced down at the piece of jadeite he had just casually glanced at in a sandalwood box. The jadeite was a high-grade icy jadeite in violet color, about the size of an adult's palm, and had not yet undergone any carving or processing.

Liu Mingzhi looked at the flawless, high-quality jade stone in the sandalwood box, a hint of contemplation flickering in his eyes.

Earlier, when he was in the military camp outside the city, he told Zheng Jizhong and the others that he had some things to do. Those words were not an excuse for not wanting to drink with Zheng Jizhong and the others, but rather that he really had some things to do.

His task was to prepare birthday gifts for the sisters Qinglian and Huang Lingyi.

In a few days, it will be the birthdays of the sisters Qinglian and Huang Lingyi.

Huang Lingyi's birthday is only two days after Qinglian's. In order to prevent any important event from happening and causing them to forget the birthdays of the two sisters, I, as their husband, must prepare their birthday gifts in advance.

You know, I've forgotten to remember the birthdays of all my ladies several times before.

Previously, on the way to the capital of the Great Shi Kingdom, in order to hurry, I had forgotten the birthdays of all my sisters, including Qi Ya, the Third Princess, the Empress, Wenren Yunshu, Huyan Junyao, Yun Qingshi, and Ying'er.

Well! To be more precise, it's not that I forgot, it's just that I was busy traveling and didn't have time to pay attention to such things.

To be honest, there's nothing I can do about it; I just have too many wonderful wives!
Not counting Suzaku, who has always lived in seclusion behind the scenes and helped him handle various intelligence matters, he himself has as many as fifteen good wives who are openly acknowledged.

If we also include Chen Jie and He Shu, these two sisters, everyone knows what's going on, but they all tacitly pretend to be unaware of what's happening. Then, they would have seventeen wives in total.

Seventeen wives, those are seventeen wonderful wives!

And this is without even including Qingrui, the beautiful girl who has not yet become his true bedmate!

If Qingrui is also included, then he would have eighteen beauties as wives in public.

A year only has twelve months, and even with the occasional leap month, it only lasts thirteen months, yet he has as many as nineteen wives.

This means that in each of the twelve months of the year, there will be at least one wife who will celebrate her birthday.

There is at least one person, and sometimes there are two or three people.

During this westward journey, our group spent most of our time either focused on traveling or taking a good rest when we got tired. We hardly had any free time.

Under such circumstances, how could I possibly have the extra energy to care about the birthdays of all my lovely ladies!
In the past, I was always in a hurry and didn't have much free time, so I would just neglect it.

Now, their group has long since arrived in the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate, and their lives have settled down.

If he were to forget the birthdays of all his lovely ladies, that would be quite inexcusable.

Although all his many good wives are understanding and kind women who wouldn't get upset over such things, he couldn't disregard their birthdays just because they were so understanding.

Originally, Young Master Liu planned to find some good materials in the warehouse managed by Zhang Kuang after returning to the royal palace of the Great Shi Kingdom, and personally make a piece of jewelry for Qinglian and Huang Lingyi as birthday gifts for each of them.

To be honest, because he didn't know what kind of materials were in the warehouse, he hadn't yet decided what kind of jewelry to make for each of his two wives.

Previously, his idea was to first check what materials were in the warehouse, and then decide based on those materials to make a piece of jewelry for each of the sisters, Qinglian and Huang Lingyi.

It's perfectly normal for him to have such thoughts, to be honest and straightforward.

After all, to make a piece of jewelry, you first need the materials to make it!
Otherwise, are you going to create something out of thin air?
If it weren't for the unexpected encounter with Lei Jun, an old friend, on his way back to the palace, he might already be making birthday gifts for his two beloved wives.

Moreover, before he even saw the violet-colored jadeite, his thought was still to prepare birthday gifts for Qinglian and Huang Lingyi after returning to the palace.

However, when Young Master Liu saw the violet-colored jadeite, he couldn't help but have other thoughts.

After staring at the jade stone for a moment, Liu Mingzhi reached out his right hand and took the violet stone out of the sandalwood box.

Just as he was about to lift the jade stone in his hand for a closer look, Krijko walked towards him with a pair of pink gemstone earrings in her hands and a beaming smile.

"Uncle Liu, what do you think of these gemstone earrings?"

Upon hearing Kliyke's soft-spoken inquiry, Liu Mingzhi, without bothering to examine the jade stone in his hand closely, instinctively looked in the direction of the voice.

Immediately afterwards, she spotted Kriiko, who was walking towards her with a beaming smile.

Kriy walked gracefully to Young Master Liu, raising her long, slender arms to present him with the pink gemstone earring in her fair hand.

"Uncle Liu, please take a look."

Liu Mingzhi nodded with a faint smile and looked directly at the pair of pink gemstone earrings in Kriyko's fair and delicate hand.

His eyes lit up slightly when he saw the pair of gemstone earrings in Krijko's hand.

The pair of pink gemstone earrings were teardrop-shaped and adorned with silver hooks.

Whether it's the exquisite patterns and intricate design on the silver hook, or the shape of the two gemstones, everything about these gemstone earrings showcases their superb craftsmanship.

The design of these earrings, in particular, perfectly matches the understated and refined beauty that Young Master Liu desired.

Liu Mingzhi's eyes lit up instinctively, but then a barely perceptible hint of embarrassment flashed across the depths of his eyes.

To be honest, the pair of pink gemstone earrings that Kriek held in her hands perfectly met her requirements in terms of both craftsmanship and style.

However, while the craftsmanship and design of the gemstone earrings may meet the requirements, the price may not.

These two pink gemstones are of such high quality that they are comparable to some rubies.

Superior quality also means considerable value. (End of Chapter)
