Chapter 225 Gold Jewelry

In the afternoon, the members of the Li family went to the Yiyuan teahouse again, wanting to see the results of the storytelling. Because Li Xin couldn't leave because of something, it was Li Butler who accompanied them. The inside is already overcrowded, not to mention the seats, there is not even a place to stand.

Li Yan quickly grabbed the busy man who was sweating profusely and asked, "Why are there so many people today?"

The guy saw that everyone in the Li family was well dressed, so he patiently replied: "Guest officer, you don't know, our storyteller told a new book this morning, called "Journey to the West", and Journey to the West is really a book Strange book, I couldn’t stop listening to all the guests. This morning’s storytelling is over, and the guests are still reluctant to leave, so they wait to continue listening in the afternoon, and many of the guests even called their friends. , It has been widely spread, isn't our teahouse overcrowded."

Everyone in the Li family was surprised and delighted when they heard it. They were surprised that Journey to the West became popular so quickly, and they were delighted that so many people listened to the book, so there must be many people who bought it.

"There are so many people here, we seem to have no place to sit, so let's go shopping elsewhere." Li Yan said with a wry smile.

Mrs. Jiang nodded, "I just happened to go to the shops around me. It's rare to come to the state capital. I need to buy more things and go back. In the evening, I will go to Baiweilou for dinner." Mrs. Jiang's rare wealth and grandeur were for a while, which is why she saw that Journey to the West has become popular, and it will definitely not worry about selling it in the future, which is why it is so generous.

When Li Meier heard this, she clapped her little hands happily and said, "Mother is so grand!" Luckily, grandma didn't come with her, otherwise she would definitely think they were extravagant again.

Mrs. Jiang mainly buys things for the family. Steward Li has been in this state capital for more than ten years, so he is naturally the most familiar with it. He knows which shop is the cheapest and which shop has the best things. Just follow him.

Li Mei'er has nested in the small place of Zhangshui Town for more than ten years, and now seeing the prosperity of the state capital, she inevitably looks like a bumpkin, feeling that her eyes are not enough to see.

It was not the first time Mrs. Jiang came here, so she was quite calm. She first bought two high-quality clothes materials for Mrs. Li, and then bought pens, ink, paper and inkstones for the men who were studying at home, and finally went to the silver building to buy jewelry.

Mrs. Jiang has also made some money over the years, so she doesn't even look at the silver ones, she just wants to pick out some good gold jewelry.

These days, where do ordinary people have gold jewelry? For example, the Li family also has three to five hundred acres of land. Mrs. Li only has a gold hairpin, a pair of gold earrings, and a few shiny gold rings. When it is tightly locked up like a baby, it is reluctant to wear it during the holidays.

Mrs. Jiang is not as good as Mrs. Li. She doesn't have any gold, and the few jewelry are all silver.

Li Meier does have a gold collar and a gold bracelet, but they were all given by Zhou Hanyu. Mrs. Jiang kept them as a dowry for her at the bottom of the box. I only called her when I was older, and when I went out to meet guests, I wouldn't always just wear a red-headed rope.

Jiang first picked out two sets of gold bracelets, which were very heavy, each weighing one or two.One is the continuous auspicious pattern of the swastika, and the other is the plum blossom pattern on the smooth surface. She plans to pay one for Mrs. Li and the other for Li Meier. When she gets older, she can wear it when she goes out to meet guests.

Seeing that Mrs. Jiang didn't choose for him, Li Yan took another lot of hibiscus flowers.Mrs. Jiang was a little hesitant. She was very generous to buy things for her family, but she was a little bit reluctant to buy things for herself. It was Li Yan's way of talking, so she nodded in agreement.

Li Yan thought that he came anyway, so he bought enough money at once, and chose a golden step for Jiang and Li Meier, the one for Jiang was Peach Blossom, and the one for Li Meier was Plum Blossom.

Mrs. Jiang chose another gold ring for Nanny Lin. Nanny Lin has been in the Li family for many years, and she is similar to the Li family.

A group of people went to pick out things for Mrs. Zhengu, the gentleman of ethnology, and relatives at home.Li Meier also bought a box of gadgets that children like on the street, and she is going to give them to her little friends when she goes back.

After buying these many things, Steward Li called a car first, and asked the servants to carry back the silks and satins first. Jiang shi kept the valuables such as jewelry in his bosom.

After strolling around for a long time, it was getting late, so the group set off to Baiweilou, waiting for Li Xin and Jiang Youzhi to arrive, and then prepared for the banquet.

Li Guanshi was fortunate to sit and dine with Mrs. Jiang and others. He doesn't come too often in this Baiweilou.Li Guanshi whispered, "Baiweilou is the property of the Lu family in the state capital."

Mrs. Jiang was a little surprised when she heard the words, and asked aloud: "I heard that the owner of this Baiweilou is a relative of the magistrate. When it opened, the magistrate came here."

"Grandma Six, you don't know anything about this. The magistrate Fei of Yin County is the son-in-law of the Lu family. He married the youngest daughter-in-law of the Lu family when he was just admitted to Jinshi, and worked in the Imperial Academy for several years. After he became an official, he was transferred to Yin County as magistrate. Now he has been re-elected for two terms. If he gets a higher grade in this evaluation, he will definitely be promoted. Brother opened it together."

When everyone heard the words, Li Meier looked at the crowds of guests, and thought that the Lu family was already such a high-ranking official, and with such a bustling industry, they were really rich. Married into the Lu family.

Jiang Youzhi came over right after school, and he didn't make them wait too long, but Li Xin came a bit late, but when he arrived, his face was full of smiles, and he said to everyone, "I'm late, please take care of yourself first." Take a fine." After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

Li Yan was afraid that Li Xin would be in a hurry to drink, so he hurriedly picked up some food with chopsticks, "Third Brother, sit down and eat the food, we'll just wait for a while."

Everyone sat down and ate and chatted. Li Xin ate something to pad his stomach before toasting to Li Yan and Jiang Shi, "This time it's thanks to the sixth brother and the sixth younger brother and sister. If you didn't come to help, my bookstore would not Business is not going to come back from the dead.”

"Where is the third brother, they are all relatives of the family, and if we help you, we are also helping ourselves." Li Yan and his wife quickly stood up and said with a smile.

Li Xin raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and then said: "I won't say more polite words. When the dividends of the book come down, I will prepare another big gift for the six younger brothers and sisters."

Several people exchanged cups and cups, and there was another round of greetings and thanks.It was because Jiang Shan was too young to drink, otherwise Li Xin would have to toast him. After all, it was his idea whether it was a bookstore or a storyteller in a teahouse.
