peasant girl wedding

Chapter 119 Ruyi Jewelry
The jewelry shop stands in the most prosperous part of the county, with the four big characters Ruyi Jewelry written on the black and gold-lacquered plaque.

Luo Shi, Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er stood at the door of Ruyi Jewelry Shop, all a little surprised.

How can there be so many people?

Men, women, old, young, even children as young as three years old.

Three long queues lined up at the main entrance of the jewelry store, and there were two young men standing at the other open door, but only a few sparse three or five people entered through there.

"Ma'am, why do you have to wait in such a long line?" Tong Zhi'er walked up to a woman and asked.

"Today, Ruyi Jewelry Shop has new jewelry designed by Mrs. Qingyan. This Mrs. Qingyan has a good taste. The jewelry she designed herself is quite beautiful. Anyone who sees it will like it. I bought it for my daughter. It's a pity that I came late and there were so many people in front..."

While talking, the team became a little commotion, the aunt was squeezed by the people behind, and she staggered a few steps.

"Ah, here it is, girl, if you want to buy it, hurry up and queue at the back, or it will be gone if it's late."

The aunt said a few words, then turned her head and stared closely at the front.

Tong Zhi'er also looked up, but because there were too many people, she couldn't see clearly what was going on.

"Second Aunt, Pearl, let's come this way."

Tong Zhi'er led the two of them to the opened door.

As soon as he entered the lobby, Tong Zhi'er had a clear view of the situation over there.

On the other side of the lobby, which was separated by a large box one person tall, several staff members laid out the table for storing things in an orderly manner, and several staff members carried five large boxes to the table.

The crowd was even more crowded, the shopkeeper and a few burly guys were maintaining order.

"Don't be in a hurry, guys. This time, our Ruyi Jewelry Shop will make one hundred more sets of jewelry according to Mrs. Qingyan's design."

"Great!"

There was a surprise in the crowd.

The voice was a bit noisy, so the shopkeeper had no choice but to raise his voice, and continued with a voice that overwhelmed the crowd: "In order to let everyone buy the jewelry designed by Mrs. Qingyan, today our shop stipulates that each person can only buy one set. .”

"Only one set is allowed? Why?"

"I come here before dawn, not only to buy for myself, but also for a few sisters in the family. What if I only need to buy one set?"

"It's just..."

The voice of dissatisfaction among the crowd is getting louder.

"Don't be impatient, everyone, because each person can only buy one set today. After discussing with Madam Qingyan at Ruyi Jewelry Shop, it is scheduled to be No. 15 of this month, which is six days later. The designed jewelry is transported here from the big shop in the capital. As we all know, the Ruyi Jewelry Shop in the capital is the head office of our shop. The jewelry designed by Mrs. Qingyan is much better than our shop in terms of style, color and quantity. There are a lot more, when the time comes, everyone can just bring their money and buy it, and everyone will be satisfied."

With the shopkeeper's words, the voice of opposition in the crowd gradually weakened.

After appeasing the crowd, the shopkeeper turned around and gestured to the guys at each table.

Immediately, the guys opened the box at the same time.

"Crack--"

There was a sound of unlocking, and in the opened box, Tong Zhi'er saw extremely exquisite jewelry.

Or fresh, or plain, or bright...

All women's preferences are taken care of.

This Mrs. Qingyan is really an extremely intelligent person.

"Second aunt, let's go pick out jewelry."

Tong Zhi'er turned around and said to Luo Shi with a smile.

On the side separated by a tall box for one person, there is a large square table in the center, on which are necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, which are divided into categories and arranged in rows in the order of necklaces, earrings, and bracelets .

There are four types of bracelets: gold bracelets, silver bracelets, jade bracelets and jade bracelets.

Bracelets with good color and sufficient weight are naturally much more expensive.

Tong Zhi'er helped pick out silver bracelets with medium patterns, styles, and fineness. A man who had been watching them secretly for a long time came over immediately and said with a smile, "Miss, I will help you wrap this bracelet."

Tong Zhi'er nodded lightly, and handed the silver bracelet to his hand.

"Is there anything else the girl needs?"

"Where are the hairpins in your shop?"

The man pointed to a long row of wooden crosses to the east.

Tong Zhi'er and Luo Shi walked over.

The wooden cross frame has three floors, eight vertical rows, and a total of 24 grids.Each grid is covered with a layer of black silk cloth, and the shiny hairpins lie quietly in the middle, perhaps because of the contrast of the black silk cloth, these hairpins look extraordinarily bright.

Luo Shi took a fancy to a silver hairpin with three plum blossoms at the end and a tassel made of black agate hanging from it.

After asking Tong Zhi'er what she meant, and she said it looked good, Luo Shi made up his mind to take this.

I have the silver bracelet and the silver hairpin, but I still need the last gold hairpin.

Because gold is much more expensive, and the heavier it is, the more expensive it is, so Luo Shi looks at the light and simple ones.Finally, I fell in love with a butterfly with a golden tail, with emerald gold hairpins the size of a ring finger nail dotted on the left, right, top, bottom, and four sides of the butterfly wings.

Handing the plum blossom silver hairpin and butterfly gold hairpin to the clerk of Ruyi Jewelry Shop, Tong Zhi'er and Luo Shi stood aside and waited.

It seems to be quieter.

"Where's Pearl?"

Roche said.

Tong Zhi'er finally sensed something was wrong, it turned out that she had ignored Tong Zhu'er's existence.

Luo Shi and Tong Zhi'er searched around, but they didn't see Tong Zhu'er.

Tong Zhi'er became anxious.

"Don't worry, Zhu'er probably ran outside, let's go outside and look for it." Luo Shi comforted her, and said to the lowered guy behind the counter who was packing the jewelry that the two of them chose: " Dude, pack your things and put them away first, we have something urgent to do, come and get them later."

The clerk raised his head and saw the anxious faces of the two, nodded and said: "Okay, wait for the two of you to come and get it."

Tong Zhi'er and Luo Shi came out of the store in a hurry, looked around, fixed their eyes on a certain place, and finally felt relieved.

"Pearl, why don't you tell us when you come out."

Tong Zhi'er quickly ran to Tong Zhu'er who was at the back of the crowd, and reprimanded in a deep voice.

"Second sister, I told you."

Tong Zhu'er's answer was waxy, and she was also a little afraid of Tong Zhi'er's anger.

"Are you queuing here because you want to buy jewelry designed by Mrs. Qingyan?"

Tong Zhu'er looked at her eagerly, "Second Sister, is it okay?"

"Yes, but I don't have much silver with me today, you can only buy one."

"Ah."

Tong Zhu'er's face flushed with excitement.

It didn't take long to arrive at Tong Zhuer's place.

There are not many jewelry left on the table, two hairpins, three Buyao, six red hairpins, four head flowers, and one Huasheng.

Tong Zhu'er's eyes were dazzled, she looked at this for a while, and looked at that for a while.

"Little girl, which one do you want to buy?"

She hesitated for a long time, and there were more than a dozen people in the line behind, so the shopkeeper asked.

Tong Zhu'er had a hard time making a choice, looked sideways at Tong Zhi'er, and said, "Second Sister, help me choose one."

Tong Zhi'er pointed, "Just this one."

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes.

Tong Zhi'er refers to an extremely simple silver hairpin, the whole body of the hairpin is silver and bright.

"The shopkeeper, I want this one."

Tong Zhu'er said happily, she also thinks this hairpin is very pretty.

The shopkeeper waved to the clerk behind the table, and the clerk put the silver hairpin into a box and handed it to Tong Zhu'er, "Girl, the checkout is over there." He pointed to ten steps to the left On a table in the distance, a middle-aged man sat behind the table. The man held an abacus in his hand. On the table were writing brushes, white paper, some paper with ink that had not yet dried up, and two account books.

No wonder the efficiency of Ruyi Jewelry Shop is so high. Shopping and checkout are separated, which separates the crowd and makes it less prone to mistakes.

It's no wonder that Tong Zhu'er arrived here in the blink of an eye.

"This hairpin is six taels of silver." Mr. Checkout said with a smile.

Tong Zhier frowned, this hairpin with no decorations actually cost six taels of silver?The magpie and plum hairpin that she and Luo Shi were watching on the other side just now had complicated patterns, and it was only four taels of silver...

Seeing her frowning, Mr. Checkout explained: "Miss, I don't know. This hairpin was designed and made by Mrs. Qingyan herself. It is the only one among all the accessories today. Its value cannot be equaled with other accessories. But Qingyan Mrs. Yan said, don't let us publicize this matter, just sell it like other hairpins. My shopkeeper said, why is this item made by Mrs. Qingyan herself, so he raised the original price by three taels of silver Doubled, it became six taels of silver."

"I want this, I want this!"

Before Tong Zhi'er could respond, Tong Zhu'er said excitedly, took Tong Zhi'er's arm, and coquettishly said: "Second sister, just buy this for me, I really like this..."

"Okay," isn't shopping for happiness and liking?It was rare for Tong Zhu'er to like something so much for the first time, Tong Zhi'er quickly took out six taels of silver from her pocket and handed it to the accountant.

The accountant took the money, opened a written receipt, and then gave Tong Zhu'er the box on the silver hairpin.

The three of them walked back to Ruyi Jewelry Shop, paid for the silver bracelet, plum blossom silver hairpin, and butterfly gold hairpin they just bought, and then walked out of Ruyi Jewelry Shop and headed home.

Along the way, Tong Zhu'er was as happy as a bird rushing out of a cage, with an unstoppable smile on her face.

"came back?"

Fang Cuiwei stood by the door and said, seeing the three figures in the distance, she came out of the house and waited.

Luo Shi showed Fang Cuiwei the chosen item, "Fourth brother and sister, help me to see it too!"
