mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 373 This store does not support bringing your own jewelry

Wilhelmina did not tell him in the end what was going on.

But Zhao Chuanxin was physically and mentally exhausted.

Soon after taking a bath, I fell into a deep sleep.

Wilhelmina didn't sleep because she didn't have much time left in New York, and time was too precious for her.

She studied him very late, from the edges and corners of the cheekbones on his face, the connection of the lines between the lips and nose, to the firm and masculine chin, and even the obscure but clear and regular tattoos and scars on his body...

Then she found that he was sleeping extremely restlessly, and his body would shake occasionally.

She heard his sleep talk.

"Don't touch little Nana."

"I'm not afraid to shoot my head off..."

The rest is in Chinese: "Sister Hua, run quickly..."

[-]/[-] English, [-]/[-] Chinese.

Wilhelmina could only understand a third of it.

But her sixth sense told her that the other two-thirds was related to another woman he cared about, especially the repeatedly mentioned "Sister Hua".

It made her sulky.

For a moment, she thought again, maybe it wasn't what she thought, "Sister Hua" was just the name of something or something.

Looking at Zhao Chuanxin, I feel distressed again.

He seemed to be having a nightmare, in which he was still in shock.

Reminiscent of his previous experience of being shot, he more or less understood.

It turned out that he was also afraid, and he was not completely invincible as in the legend.

This makes him more flesh and blood, rather than a symbol, a legend.

Strangely, as a high-ranking queen, she sometimes felt that Zhao Chuanxin was even more unreal.

No wonder, when she was sleeping before, she always felt that there would be vibrations from time to time at night, and it was his body shaking.

She put her hand on Zhao Chuanxin's shoulder, stroked it lightly, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here..."

Sure enough, he gradually fell asleep.

……

Early the next morning.

Wilhelmina woke up and found that there was breakfast on the bedside table, but Zhao Chuanxin was missing.

She was suddenly startled...

Edith Roosevelt tossed and turned, and also slept very late.

After falling asleep, the dream changed, one after another, there were many unsightly scenes.

She never thought that the aggressiveness of a person's gaze could be so lethal.

After waking up, she found something abnormal about herself, which made her ashamed and ashamed.

So I went through a period of painful internal friction, entanglement, and self-blame, and then I got up.

After washing, she opened the door and saw that the guards at the door were all staring in one direction.

She looked over and was shocked to find that it was Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin was shirtless and was practicing balance.

Muscles and tattoos writhe and vibrate with masculinity.

Edith Roosevelt felt dazzling, walked forward unnaturally, and whispered: "Too careless, did you come out of the queen's room brightly?"

Zhao Chuanxin received his work and blinked: "No, I came back from outside."

As if confirming his words, Wilhelmina's door opened, she walked left and right, and she looked relieved after seeing Zhao Chuanxin.

The guard also looked at Zhao Chuanxin curiously, wondering why someone would exercise in the hotel corridor.

Edith Roosevelt greeted Wilhelmina, and seeing that she turned back to the room again, she whispered to Zhao Chuanxin, "Your apprentice, I have sent you home."

"Oh, thank you, Edie."

"..." Edith Roosevelt recalled last night inexplicably. "What are you going to do with Charles Baker?"

Zhao Chuanxin was careless: "If he stimulates you like this, of course something will happen."

Edith Roosevelt frowned: "Don't mess around, he is a detective from the New York Police Department."

"I do things, don't worry." Zhao Chuanxin was ambiguous.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin's promise, Edith Roosevelt felt relieved, turned around and asked the guard, "Have I prepared the flowers?"

"Ma'am, it's ready."

Zhao Chuanxin wondered: "Why are you preparing to spend? Who wants to get married?"

Edith Roosevelt was stunned: "You don't know? Today is Wilhelmina's birthday."

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly realized.

The reason for the inexplicable words last night came from this.

Edith Roosevelt smiled, heh, man.

She said: "She should have left a long time ago and went back to the Netherlands to celebrate her birthday. But it has been delayed until now because of waiting for you. The flowers are prepared for her."

Zhao Chuanxin scratched his head.

Isn't it necessary to give gifts for birthdays?
So I hate Valentine's Day, birthdays and other days of the year the most.

Chinese New Year is so simple, just send a red envelope.

Moreover, Zhao Chuanxin originally wanted to do business today, to deal with the trouble of Charles Baker.

The two chatted for a while, and Wilhelmina got ready to go out.

She looked excited and restrained, all the excitement was hidden in her eyes.

"where are we going?"

The original plan was disrupted, Zhao Chuanxin said: "I want to go to a jewelry store, I like jewelry the most in my life."

Wilhelmina: "..."

Edith Roosevelt: "..."

Edith Roosevelt was unwilling to be a light bulb, saying: "Be careful when you go out, and protect the safety of Your Majesty."

Zhao Chuanxin said that you are wise.

However, those guards hanging far away are very obtrusive.

In addition, Zhao Chuanxin glanced at a strange man as if feeling something.

Wilhelmina and Zhao Chuanxin kept a close distance, and she whispered: "Later, we will go to Madison Square, where there are many people and lively, and there will be a cowboy riding competition for your employees."

Zhao Chuanxin was suspicious: "What the hell? That dog William Hope hasn't gone back to herd my cattle yet?"

This made him very annoyed, he didn't treat Lao Tzu's wages as money, did he?

Instead, Wilhelmina explained for him: "I watched the game that day, and it was great. He really wanted to win that cow for you."

After getting into the carriage, Wilhelmina's Queen Fan disappeared without a trace, and immediately climbed onto Zhao Chuanxin's arm.

The guard following on horseback was out of sight.

This is a small jewelry store.

Zhao Chuanxin took Wilhelmina in and asked, "Is there any peridot the size of an egg?"

The clerk was confused: "Sir, there is no such thing."

Zhao Chuanxin asked again: "Is there any jeweler who can create a complicated pattern that I want?"

The clerk was speechless: "Sir, we have jewelers with superb craftsmanship, but they may not be able to create the patterns you want, but they can be customized."

Wilhelmina was confused, why did she feel that Zhao Chuanxin came in to find fault?
Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Understood. But it doesn't matter, I have all of these."

The clerk opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.

Are you here to show off?
If it weren't for seeing Wilhelmina in a lady's attire, she would almost be kicked out.

But the queen is good at this, she has the style of the royal family domineering, and she doesn't think it's embarrassing for Zhao Chuanxin to do this.

The clerk tentatively asked, "Sir, is there anything else I can do for you?"

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Yes, otherwise why should I come? Take me to your jeweler's work place, and I will let him borrow some tools."

No matter how good the clerk's temper was, it faded away: "Sir, our jewelry store does not support bringing your own jewelry."

Wilhelmina nearly laughed.

Zhao Chuanxin proudly took out a wad of colorful dollar bills.

The clerk's eyes lit up.

Then, Zhao Chuanxin took out a piece of $1 from the wad of money: "Is it enough?"

Fake!

The gap is too big, you know?
The clerk shook his head: "Not enough."

Pick something at random, and there is not enough money for leftovers.

Zhao Chuanxin had no choice but to take out another nine yuan: "I just borrow a tool, isn't ten yuan enough?"

The clerk hesitated for a moment, but in fact he was willing to pay five yuan.

She said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask."

At this moment, a man with greasy hair and powdered noodles walked in from outside.

He stepped forward familiarly: "Ms. Maria, what a coincidence, we meet again."

It was Grenville Harper.

Zhao Chuanxin leaned his elbows on the counter and turned to look curiously.

Wilhelmina frowned, and looked at Zhao Chuanxin worriedly, for fear that he might misunderstand something.

However, Zhao Chuanxin was smiling all over his face, how could he look angry?
Seeing him like this, Wilhelmina felt a little annoyed—won't she be jealous?
Wilhelmina smiled awkwardly but politely: "Hello, Mr. Harper."

"Ms. Maria, where do you want to go? Are you going to Madison Square today?"

Wilhelmina glanced at Zhao Chuanxin, and she could still laugh?
She was a little angry: "Yes, Mr. Harper."

In fact, Zhao Chuanxin saw this person when he left the hotel.

The bastard's swishing eyes never left Wilhelmina.

But who is Lao Zhao?
The Heavenly King Lao Tzu is here, and he won't take it to heart.

The clerk came out with a smile: "Sir, well, I can take you to the workshop behind."

Zhao Chuanxin keenly discovered that the clerk sneaked five of the ten yuan into his pocket.

He said cheerfully, "Oh, even though it's just a borrowed tool, a receipt needs to be issued. Give me one."

The clerk smiled froze.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "I let you make money, but I didn't let you swallow so much. Give me back three yuan quickly, and I will allow you to issue a receipt for five yuan."

The clerk reluctantly took out three yuan from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Chuanxin.

"Sir, please sign."

Zhao Chuanxin flamboyantly signed his name - Chen Yigeng.

Grenville Harper shamelessly stepped forward to have a look, and secretly wrote down the name.

Wilhelmina looked at it with a smile, thinking it was very interesting.

She has never experienced this kind of thing, and thinks that Zhao Chuanxin is very powerful and understands everything.

Grenville Harper, on the other hand, was disdainful.

Even such a small amount of money has to be penny-pinched, and it looks ashamed at first glance.

Zhao Chuanxin never cared about other people's eyes when doing things, happily put three yuan in his pocket, and then walked inside.

Seeing that Grenville Harper was following him step by step, Zhao Chuanxin turned his head: "Hey, why the hell are you following me?"

Seeing his rude words, Grenville Harper was even more disdainful.

As a member of the upper class, he was in contact with either gentlemen or ladies, and they were all polite.

He plausibly said, "I didn't follow you, I followed Ms. Maria."

Zhao Chuanxin stared: "I don't care who you follow, but you can't follow me, otherwise don't blame me for cutting you!"

"..."

Grenville Harper really didn't dare to go up.

Zhao Chuanxin took Wilhelmina into the back workshop, where there was a bald-headed old master wearing flower glasses, and his hands covered with calluses and cracks were beating gold.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin coming, he nodded as a greeting.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the various tools on the table, they were all complete.

Wilhelmina asked him in a low voice, "What on earth are you going to do?"

There was no one behind, Zhao Chuanxin patted her on the buttocks: "I counted, today is your birthday, no matter what, I have to prepare a birthday gift for you."
