Chapter 229 The pie in the sky
"As long as you Wuxiang Pavilion can always make such good things, it must be not far from the day when you will be favored by the nobles in the palace."
Xiang Shifu pointed at the set of rubies.
"Then Mrs. Chenggan is auspicious." Shopkeeper Mo said with a wide-eyed smile.
"It's a pity, although the things you have here are good, but I'm too shy to buy a few!" Xiang Jingfu said regretfully.
"As long as Mrs. Gan likes something in our Wuxiang Pavilion, no matter what you fancy, our Wuxiang Pavilion will only charge you the cost price!" Shopkeeper Mo hurriedly said.
Xiang Jingfu glanced at her with some surprise: "Cost price? Isn't it a big loss for you Wuxiang Pavilion?"
The so-called cost price at this time actually refers to the cost of materials.
But the materials of these jewelry in Wuxiangge are naturally top-notch, but the most rare thing is the design and craftsmanship!
With these additional bonuses, it is possible to make the original materials that can only be regarded as ordinary materials to show several times or even dozens of times of dazzling colors!
"Of course not."
Shopkeeper Mo said with a smile, "To be honest with Mrs. Gan, our Wuxiang Pavilion has just opened recently, and we are not very famous in Beijing. Although we are selling things to Mrs. Gan at the cost price, as long as Mrs. Gan is willing to take us with us. It's naturally good for us Wuxiang Pavilion to walk around with the things of Xiangge. After all, maybe our Wuxiang Pavilion has taken advantage of it!"
There is some truth to this.
Xiang Jingfu pondered for a while, and finally shook her head and rejected Shopkeeper Mo's proposal: "Forget it, although your Wuxiang Pavilion is not very famous now, but with these things in your store, Wuxiang Pavilion is famous in the capital. It's just a matter of time, and there is no shortage of my icing on the cake."
Shopkeeper Mo did not expect Xiang Jingfu to refuse.
What more did she have to say, Xiang Jingfu had already pointed to the pair of emerald earrings and the ruby, and said: "That's it, please ask the shopkeeper Mo to have someone wrap it up for me. As for the price, Wuxiangge should You can collect the money how you want, but don't mention the cost price any more."
Seeing Xiang Jingfu's resolute attitude, Manager Mo had to sigh regretfully in his heart, still smiling, "Just what Mrs. Yigan said."
She waved her hand, and the maids with trays backed out in an orderly manner.
"Also ask Mrs. Gan to wait a while."
Shopkeeper Mo saluted and then retreated.
Mother Tong also went to checkout together.
There were no outsiders in the room, so Tu Muzhen asked in a low voice, "Auntie, why don't you agree with the suggestion of the shopkeeper Mo to only charge the cost price?"
That's a lot of money!
Although Tu Muzhen herself was not tempted by this condition, she was still curious about what Xiang Jingfu was thinking.
"Silly girl, my aunt will teach you another truth today."
Xiang Jingfu chuckled, "Under this world, there has never been such a thing as a pie in the sky. Sometimes, you look at a thing and think it's a good thing, but misfortune and good fortune depend on it. Who knows if there is something more evil behind this good thing?"
Tu Muzhen said thoughtfully: "So, Auntie thinks that shopkeeper Mo seems to have given you great benefits, but in fact, maybe he is trying to murder you?"
"Not necessarily."
Xiang Jingfu shook her head with a smile, "I'm just saying that there is such a possibility. However, no matter whether the shopkeeper Namo is really kind or fake, as long as we are not moved by Xiaoli and keep our hearts, we will not lose money." Will be taken advantage of."
Well, Tu Mu really understood.
Anyway, is it Xiang Jingfu who still suspects that shopkeeper Mo has bad intentions?
However, it was inevitable that Xiang Jingfu would have such concerns.
After all, her husband is from the Censor Desk!
People in this world, whether they are officials, business people, or the royal family, there is no one who is not afraid of the censor!
It is not uncommon for someone to make a crooked idea behind his back and think that the Censor himself is not good for bribes, and turn to the Censor's family instead!
Xiang Jingfu didn't dare to take those inexplicable benefits. In the end, it was for her husband's sake.
Soon, shopkeeper Mo came back again with someone.
Xiang Jingfu also got up and planned to leave.
Shopkeeper Mo sent everyone downstairs.
When she passed by Tu Muzhen, her sleeve seemed to brush over Tu Muzhen's arm inadvertently.
The next moment, Tu Muzhen felt that something was stuffed into his hand.
Tu Muzhen: …
She looked at Shopkeeper Mo calmly, and saw Shopkeeper Mo smiled kindly at her.
Tu Mu was really at a loss.
What the hell is going on here? !
With outsiders present, it was inconvenient for Tu Muzhen to immediately take out the things in his hands to see what they were, so he had to hide them in his sleeves.
However, according to the feel, it looks like a paper ball?
When the group returned to the mansion, Xiang Jingfu asked Fangling to hand over the two pieces of jewelry bought from Wuxiang Pavilion to Xirui, and asked Xirui to take them back to Tu Muzhen's yard.
Tu Muzhen reacted suddenly and said hurriedly, "Auntie, these things are too precious, I absolutely cannot accept them!"
Whether it's emerald earrings or a ruby head and face, they're all worth a lot of money, and I'm afraid it will cost thousands of taels together!
"What was given to you is yours, why are you polite to me?"
Xiang Jingfu smiled and said, "I think these jewelry are really good. Although little girls usually use them on rare occasions, they are reserved for you as a dowry. It is suitable to wear on the day you get married. Your big bastard People, I must not have considered these things for you. Now that my aunt does not think for you, how can it be justified?"
get married?
Why is her aunt more worried about her marriage than her father?
"But this is too precious!" Tu Muzhen said helplessly.
"I'll give it to you because it's precious! Otherwise, can my aunt afford it?"
Xiang Jingfu smiled and said, "Okay, if you want to accept it, you can accept it. At worst, when I settle accounts with your father, I can add this amount to it. Maybe when the time comes, your father will double the amount." Give me compensation!"
Tu Muzhen: "...Thank you auntie."
How blindly confident is she, Aunt Xiang, about her father's financial resources? !
"It's so cute!"
Xiang Jingfu praised Tu Muzhen and asked Tu Muzhen to go back to rest.
Tu Muzhen couldn't help but have a headache when she saw more and more things being given to Jingfu in her room.
Suddenly, she remembered something, and hurriedly took out the things hidden in her sleeves.
She took a closer look, it was really a paper ball!
Tu Muzhen opened the paper ball and wrote on it: "If you like Wuxiangge's jewelry, I will have someone send you a batch. I just don't know what you like, you ask Feifei to send me a letter. All right."
It's Huo Wenzhi's handwriting!
