Chapter 537 Shopping
Chapter 537 Shopping
The shop had been arranged in advance, so there was no need to rush. The next day, Shi Liu went out with Liu Yue to tour the capital.
Liang originally wanted to follow them, but she had just arrived in the capital, and as the mistress of the capital, she had a lot of trivial matters on her hands that required her to make decisions and handle them. She really couldn't leave, so she sent Nanny Hong to follow them.
After all, the capital city is not a famous city. Anyone you bump into on the street could be an official or a clerk. The two little girls had just arrived, and she was really worried about them going out. Nanny Hong was her foster nanny, who came from the palace and had some sense. She felt more at ease following them.
Uncle Gui specially sent a coachman who was familiar with the layout of the capital to drive them. When he heard that the two girls wanted to visit Jinxiu Pavilion, the coachman drove the carriage directly into Zhengyang Gate and into the inner city.
Jinxiu Pavilion and Tianxiang Tower are both located on Zhuque Street, the most prosperous and lively street in the inner city.
Soon, the carriage stopped steadily in front of Jinxiu Pavilion. The curtain was slowly lifted, and Liu Yue got out of the carriage with light steps like a cheerful little bird.
Her eyes were gleaming with anticipation. She couldn't wait to take Shi Liu's hand and ran excitedly into Jinxiu Pavilion, chattering, "Sister Shi Liu, my mother said that if you like any jewelry, just ask Jinxiu Pavilion to pack it and send it back home. Let's not be polite today and just shop as much as we want. I want to carefully pick out more jewelry from the capital! I must bring home the most exquisite and beautiful jewelry in the capital!"
Shi Liu found it funny, he was indeed still a child.
However, loving beauty is a woman's nature. Even though she has too many jewelries to wear, she will still buy them if she sees something she likes.
What's more, the jewelry in the capital city, all the fashionable styles in the world are sold here, and the name of Jinxiu Pavilion has long been well-known throughout the country.
She had finally come here, and she wanted to buy some gifts for everyone in her family. As for Mrs. Lu, she had been good to her, so she should naturally return the favor.
As soon as the group entered Jinxiu Pavilion, a female waiter came forward to greet them. The female waiters in Jinxiu Pavilion had seen all kinds of distinguished guests. Even the princess was a frequent visitor here, so they were really used to it.
Seeing that Shi Liu and Liu Yue were accompanied by maids and servants, but their faces were unfamiliar, and it was obvious that they had just arrived in the capital, she did not look down on them and greeted them with a decent smile.
The dazzling array of beautiful jewellery inside dazzled the two of them.
Liu Yue was like a bee, excitedly shuttling between the counters, carefully examining each piece of jewelry and asking Shi Liu about this and that.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on the pair of jade earrings, and she was deeply attracted. The emerald green color was like clear lake water, crystal clear, emitting a mysterious and charming light. It was so beautiful.
"Miss, you have really good taste. This pair of jade earrings is new to our shop. They were made by Master Wu. Not only are the colors excellent, but the craftsmanship is also superb. Moreover, there is only one pair like this. It is rare to see them."
After hearing what the waitress said, Liu Yue loved them even more. She couldn't put them down and played with the pair of jade earrings. She said hurriedly, "I want this pair of earrings. Pack them for me!"
"Wait, I want these earrings!" Suddenly, a voice interrupted.
When they looked back, they saw a pretty girl in a pink jacket. She was not very old, about the same age as Liu Yue, but tall and very beautiful.
When the waitress saw her, she immediately came forward and said with a smile, "It's Miss Su Er!"
The second Miss Su raised her chin slightly, stepped forward, and looked at the jade earrings. "I also like these earrings. Please pack them for me!"
When Liu Yue heard this, she refused to do it. She was also brought up in a pampered state. In Bingzhou Prefecture and even in the provincial capital, no one was willing to snatch away from her anything she liked.
She frowned immediately and said, "Hey, are you being unreasonable? I was obviously the first one to see these earrings. I've even tried them on."
The second Miss Su glanced at her and said with great momentum, "I'll buy it!"
The female waiter was in a dilemma. Who should she sell them to? Judging from the clothes of these two unfamiliar girls, they were not from ordinary families. What if they were relatives or cousins of some powerful family in the capital?
She rolled her eyes, tilted her head and whispered to Liu Yue and Shi Liu, "This is the girl from the residence of Lord Su, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel."
What that means is, you can do whatever you want. If the boss is bigger than this official, you can just rob him.
Anyway, the jewelry in their shop will be sold to anyone.
When Liu Yue heard this, she turned around and asked Madam Hong, "What rank is the official of the Ministry of Personnel?"
When Miss Su Er saw that she didn't even know what the official position of the Ministry of Personnel Langzhong was, she couldn't help but sneer, and her expression became even more proud.
Madam Hong said, "Miss, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel is of the fifth rank."
"Only fifth rank? Uncle Cheng is fourth rank!" Liu Yue curled his lips.
Madam Hong hurriedly said, "Miss, the officials in Beijing are different from the local officials."
Although the fifth-rank official position is lower than the fourth-rank official position, it is still a Beijing official position after all. However, in the capital, the fifth-rank official position is not really considered a high-ranking title.
The Liu family has the support of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, which is a noble family in the capital. They are incomparable to a mere fifth-rank doctor and are not in the same circle.
It was indeed her daughter who first took a fancy to the earrings, and the daughter liked them. She had thought that if the man was from an important family, she would persuade the daughter to give them up, but the other party was only the daughter of a fifth-rank official, and if she insisted on snatching them away - she would just let the daughter take them.
Naturally, Liu Yue was reluctant to give it up; she fell in love with the earrings at first sight.
So, she looked at Miss Luo Er and said, "I'm sorry, I was the first one to see these earrings, and I won't give them up. You should look at other jewelry!"
Second Miss Luo was furious. This guy couldn't even tell the difference between Beijing officials and local officials. How could this country bumpkin dare to snatch her jewelry?
Her father is a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel, and her aunt married into the Weiyuan Earl's mansion. Is she afraid of this country bumpkin?
She glared at the waitress and said, "I want these earrings! How dare you not sell them to me?"
“This” female waiter was really in a difficult situation.
But Liu Yue was urging her to pack it up quickly.
At this moment, a few more people came in from outside the door, led by an old lady with silver hair combed meticulously, a stern face, and even the headband on her forehead looked extremely serious.
"Qianqian, what are you doing?"
When Miss Luo Er heard the voice, she turned around and the arrogance and anger on her face immediately turned into obedience. She hurried over, took the old lady's arm, and said coquettishly, "Grandma, my granddaughter has set her eyes on a pair of earrings, but someone is trying to snatch them from me."
Liu Yue glared, extremely angry. "It was obviously me who saw it first, and you rushed out to snatch it from me, and you're still blaming me for it. What a liar!"
