Chapter 455 I didn’t expect that you poor guys would also come to Bian Jing?
Zheng Xiuxiu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try it."
Zhao Qiaoniang looked at her with a smile in her eyes. This was what Zheng Xiuxiu really wanted to do. In order to learn these things, she studied until the middle of the night every day.
Madam Bai looked at her and said:
"But you need to change your clothes. You will be the shopkeeper from now on, and the clothes you wear will be your signature. You must wear the most expensive clothes in our store, and the same goes for you.
We must all be careful about what we wear from now on. I'll go out for a walk and take a look at the latest fashions in Bianjing and buy some for you."
Zheng Xiuxiu quickly waved her hand and said, "No need, we..."
Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "And the children, you all need to change your clothes. Bianjing is the most realistic city. If we don't dress well, we will be laughed at."
Mrs. Bai took them to the most prosperous place in Bianjing City. Mrs. Bai and Lin Wanwan went straight to Ruixiang Pavilion in Bianjing City.
This place is considered the leader of the jewelry industry in Bianjing City, and the most fashionable and exquisite jewelry in the city are all here.
Looking down the street, all the shops are selling jewelry. Ruixiang Pavilion is particularly eye-catching, with a golden sign hanging high and a vermilion facade that exudes a sense of nobility.
As they approached, the shopkeeper of Ruixiang Pavilion, beaming, stood at the doorway to greet them warmly. He bowed slightly, raised his hand in a gesture of invitation, and said, "Ah, ladies, please come in! Our shop has recently stocked quite a few rare items, which I guarantee will suit your tastes."
Mrs. Bai was the first to step into the store, her eyes wandering among the dazzling array of jewelry.
Lin Wanwan followed him and was shocked by the scene before her as soon as she entered the store.
The counter was filled with gold hairpins, silver bracelets, jade pendants, and pearl flowers, each of which was exquisitely carved.
Gold threads are wrapped around round pearls, jade is carved into lively flowers and birds, and the kingfisher feather inlay technique makes the patterns on the jewelry vivid, colorful yet elegant.
Compared with the cookie-cutter styles in modern gold shops, the jewelry here is more exquisite.
Mrs. Bai's eyes wandered around the counters of Ruixiang Pavilion for a long time, and finally landed on a few pieces of jewelry. A glint of light flashed in her eyes, and she pointed at them and said to the shopkeeper, "Take these out and let me see them."
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded hurriedly, then took out the jewelry and placed it on a silk tray.
A sharp and piercing voice suddenly sounded from behind:
"Oh, who was it? I didn't expect you poor guys to come to Bianjing?
How dare you come to Ruixiang Pavilion? You must have come to the wrong place. Don't you consider how much money you have in your pocket? Don't dirty the things here."
When Lin Wanwan turned around, she saw Bai Qian standing with several women. Bai Qian was wearing a light green dress embroidered with delicate floral and bird patterns.
She was gently waving a Xiangfei bamboo fan in her hand, her hair was tied up high with a few golden hairpins scattered among it.
The woman next to him came closer curiously and asked in a low voice, "Qianqian, who are these people? Do you know them?"
Bai Qian's lips curled up into a cold smile, her voice shrill and mocking:
"These people, at first glance, look like poor wretches who just came out of the countryside.
See that woman in fancy clothes?
I heard that life in the countryside was really miserable.
I don't know how you had the nerve to come to Bianjing and even dare to come to Ruixiang Pavilion."
Madam Bai frowned and asked, "Could it be that you're the only one allowed to come to Ruixiang Pavilion, and we can't? You own this shop, don't you?"
Bai Qian sneered disdainfully:
“Although I didn’t open this place, seeing you guys coming here makes me feel like it lowers the quality of Ruixiang Pavilion.
Boss, you are running a business, why don't you let in a poor guy like this?
Aren't you worried that it will lower the profile of your store and that those high-ranking officials won't patronize it anymore?"
The shopkeeper's eyes moved back and forth between Madam Bai and Bai Qian. Bai Qian was surrounded by the crowd, wearing a pearl and filigree eight-treasure flower crown on her head.
It is inlaid with various precious gems such as rubies, sapphires, pearls, and jade.
These gems are carved into small floral shapes and clustered together to form a majestic large floral pattern.
Especially the pigeon blood ruby in the middle, which has a rich color and exudes a charming luster. It is surrounded by a circle of round pearls, making it even more eye-catching.
Mrs. Bai and Zhao Qiaoniang stood together, wearing very simple plain cotton and linen long skirts, made of plain fabric without any complicated decorations.
Their hair was casually tied into a bun with a wooden hairpin inserted in it, without any embellishment of gold, silver or jewelry.
After hesitating for a moment, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said with a somewhat arrogant smile on his face: "Madam, there are some inconveniences today. Please ask the ladies to step aside for a while!"
A trace of anger flashed across Mrs. Bai's face. She raised her chin slightly and sneered:
“Is this how you treat customers in your store?
You only care about clothes and not people, judging people by appearance to such an extent, aren't you afraid of ruining your own reputation?"
The woman next to Bai Qian raised her chin, her nose pointed upwards, and said in a shrill voice:
"Do you know the person standing in front of you? She is the daughter of the Bai family!
The Bai family is very famous in Bianjing City. Two high-ranking officials in the court were born in her family and they were extremely powerful.
Just because you, a bunch of country bumpkins from the countryside, dare to compare yourself to Miss Bai? You are simply daydreaming!"
As soon as the words fell, another lady followed suit, her face full of ridicule:
"That's right! Look at what you're wearing, so tattered and shabby.
I don't know where you got the courage to walk into this Ruixiang Pavilion, not even afraid of polluting the ground here!"
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, with an impatient look on his face. He frowned and waved his hand, saying, "That's right, hurry up and leave. Don't stay in our store. We don't serve beggars here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Dasheng strode in.
He is now very different from before. He is wearing a gorgeous silk robe and a belt inlaid with beautiful jade around his waist. He looks like a human being.
As soon as Lin Dasheng walked in and saw the tense scene in the store, he was stunned for a moment.
His eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, finally landing on Zhao Qiaoniang, staring at her straight.
Bai Qian walked lightly towards the person coming forward and said in a delicate voice:
"My dear, you are finally here.
Come and help me choose. The jewelry here looks very unique. It is worthy of being called Ruixiang Pavilion. It is really extraordinary. "
Lin Dasheng saw Zhao Qiaoniang and nodded slightly: "You have also arrived in Bianjing!"
Bai Qian had a sneer on her lips:
"That's right. I came all the way to Bianjing and wanted to pick out some things I like in Ruixiang Pavilion.
Unfortunately, I am short of money and I am afraid that I will be kicked out by the boss!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Dasheng waved his hand proudly, looked at everyone and said, "If you want jewelry, I'll host you today, you can pick whatever you want!"
He was just being polite and saying polite things, but Mulan beside him asked, "Are you sure you want to host? Can you really afford the jewelry here?"
When Lin Dasheng heard this, he straightened his back and puffed out his chest and said, "This little money is really nothing to me. I can afford it!"
