The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 229
A group of people from the pawn shop hurried out, got into the carriage, and headed for Linlang Pavilion.

Linlang Pavilion is one of the largest jewelry shops in the capital city. Many ladies and ladies went out to Linlang Pavilion to see if there were any new jewelry.

The guys in the shop were so busy that they didn't touch the floor, but when they saw the shopkeeper Gao of the pawnshop, they came over to greet him.

"Shopkeeper Gao, rare customer. Please go upstairs! I'll go talk to my shopkeeper right now."

"Okay, I'll wait for him upstairs." Shopkeeper Gao went to the second floor with ease, not forgetting to look back to see if Mrs. Zhang followed.

Zhang's complexion was gloomy, and there was no sign of happiness or anger, but his heart was full of joy.Sure enough, she found the right way.

Although these businessmen will never do business that loses money, Zhang is confident that according to his own ability, he will be able to make a fortune from them.

Shopkeeper Gao took Mrs. Zhang into a box.

"Wait, madam, I'll ask the guy to bring the good jewelry from the shop, and let madam choose carefully."

Mrs. Zhang said calmly, "Go, I'll wait for you."

Shopkeeper Gao went out.

After a while, he came in, followed by several guys holding trays, and there were dazzling jewelry on the trays.

The pieces are exquisite and the workmanship is fine.

Mrs. Zhang used to live outside. Before being taken back, she was short of money and used to live a frugal life.

After returning to Yuanwailang's mansion, when she became his wife to manage the house, she still maintained the habit of thrift.

The annual jewelry additions are few and far between, but what lady doesn't like to dress up?
Looking at the jewelry brought in by the guys, Mrs. Zhang almost drools.

Shopkeeper Gao has been secretly watching Mrs. Zhang since he came in.

Although Zhang's face remained expressionless, the flash of greed in her eyes was caught by the shrewd shopkeeper Gao.

Shopkeeper Gao said with a smile: "Madam, quickly pick out the one that suits you."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at shopkeeper Gao, and said with airs: "Are you underestimating me? Bring your best ones here. If the jewelry I bring is not enough, I will pay the difference."

"It's my eyes that don't know Mount Tai." Shopkeeper Gao cupped his hands and bowed, "I'll go and ask them to bring the best from the shop."

Seeing Shopkeeper Gao go out courteously, Mrs. Zhang smiled triumphantly.

Hmph, still want to lie to her?To fool her with these?no way!

It wasn't until shopkeeper Gao asked the guys to bring in another batch of jewelry that Mrs. Zhang carefully selected it.

Relying on her own experience, Mrs. Zhang tried her best to choose the best ones.

Mrs. Zhang picked for about an hour before shopkeeper Gao called to stop.

"Ma'am, in my opinion, the price of the things you choose is about the same as the price you want to pawn. If you continue to choose, I will lose money." Shopkeeper Gao laughed with him, trying his best to please.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at the table next to her. On it were the jewelry she had chosen.

She estimated it in her heart, and it was indeed almost the same.

It's just that she looked at shopkeeper Gao with unkind eyes, with a bit of meanness.

These businessmen make a lot of money by using small ideas and tricks.She hangs a layer of oil and water from them today, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.

"I'm not easy to deceive. If you really want to calculate the price, the things I brought are worth countless times. Hmph, if you don't do business with sincerity, let's stop talking. I'll go back now!" Mrs. Zhang With a cold face, he stood up.

Sure enough, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Shopkeeper Gao's anxious eyes, and hurriedly stood in front of her, coaxing: "I didn't mean that, Madam, if you have something to say, please speak up. How about it, how about I give Madam a set of red agate hair masks?"

"Just a face?" Mrs. Zhang asked disdainfully.

Shopkeeper Gao had a mournful face, and the forced smile was uglier than crying.

"My dear madam, I need a set of red agate hair masks. I need to do a few business deals to earn them back," said shopkeeper Gao, wiping off his sweat. "Madam, please take pity on me. Come here, show the hair mask to the madam." .”

Mrs. Zhang looked at the red agate head, the workmanship was fine and festive.

It just so happened that her niece from her natal family had reached the age of marriage, so she would definitely look good wearing this hairstyle.

Mrs. Zhang already had some calculations in her mind.

She sighed leisurely, and said: "Forget it, because you have been with me for so long to choose, just do as you said."

"Thank you ma'am!" Shopkeeper Gao's excitement was beyond words.

Shopkeeper Gao kept saying flattering words, which made Mrs. Zhang extremely flattering.

In the end, shopkeeper Gao personally sent Mrs. Zhang to the door, and Mrs. Zhang went back full of satisfaction.

Shopkeeper Gao returned to the box, humming a little tune and counting things.

A man came in outside the door, his appearance was three points similar to shopkeeper Gao.

"Have you made another fortune?"

Shopkeeper Gao didn't look up, and said, "Yes, I've made a lot of money. Those defective products in your shop have been exchanged for such a lot of good things, isn't it a lot of money? I'll share them with you after I sell them." money."

The man walked up to shopkeeper Gao. He was shopkeeper Gao's cousin, Gao You, the shopkeeper of Linlang Pavilion.

With a smile on the corner of Gao You's mouth, he looked at the full jewelry on the table.

As the shopkeeper of Linlang Pavilion, Gao You deals with jewelry every day.

He could tell at a glance that the jewelry brought by Mrs. Zhang was all made by famous craftsmen.

"It's really good for you kid." Gao You said with a smile.

Suddenly, he saw something on the packing table, and his face became serious.

"Cousin, what's the matter?"

Gao You didn't speak, and walked to the bright place by the window with a walking stick.

"Look, there are words engraved here."

Shopkeeper Gao hurried over, put his head in front of Bu Yao, and sure enough, he saw the character Qin in the corner of Bu Yao.

Shopkeeper Gao was furious immediately: "I didn't even see it! I was tricked!"

Jewelry with engraved characters cannot be sold at a high price.Shopkeeper Gao's small calculation was completely unsatisfactory.

Gao You pondered deeply. He always thought, why is the word Qin so familiar?

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door, and a clerk stood at the door and asked, "Shopkeeper, will you deliver this month's account book yourself, or should I come here?"

Gao You patted his head, he finally remembered!

Gao You patted his cousin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You can be regarded as a mistake, and you have done my second lady a big favor. The second lady might be happy and reward you with a bunch of gold, silver and jewels."

"Second Miss of Duke Dingguo's Mansion?" Shopkeeper Gao asked.

Gao You nodded.

Shopkeeper Gao recalled that recently it was rumored that the birthday party of the second lady of Duke Dingguo's mansion, the congratulatory gifts entered the gate of Duke Dingguo's mansion like flowing water.

The fiancé of the second lady even spent a lot of money, giving away more than [-] boxes of gold.

That's gold!

Shopkeeper Gao's eyes lit up, and although he didn't know what he had done for the second lady, he still nodded like a rattle.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Gao You then ordered the clerk to prepare the ledger and send it to him himself.

The two got into the carriage and went to Duke Dingguo's mansion. They also took all the jewelry pawned by Mrs. Zhang into the carriage.

Along the way, Gao You never forgot to explain to his cousin what to do when he entered Dingguo's mansion.
