Strategy to develop champions

Chapter 439

Song Mingxuan didn't understand Liu Bashun's meaning for a while, he just looked up, and saw the three black and gold-plated signboards of Zhenbaofang, hanging at the door of the shop.Song Mingxuan thought of the wedding gift Xiao Yiming gave himself and Zhao Caifeng, and felt a little depressed.But his own pocket is so shy, there are few things in this store that he can afford.

Seeing Song Mingxuan's expression, Liu Bashun knew what he was worrying about, so he just smiled and said, "Brother Song, don't worry, there are cheap things here, I'll take you to see them."

It turns out that although this Treasure Workshop is for the business of wealthy families, few of the wives and ladies of the wealthy households come to look at things without their maids, so there is a special counter in the Treasure Workshop, and the people inside are all young maids. Our favorite style.It's just that the material has been changed from pure gold to silver, and the shape has been slightly changed, so the price is naturally much cheaper.

Seeing what Liu Bashun said, Song Mingxuan got out of the car with great interest.

Because the shop is usually full of women, Liu Bashun led Song Mingxuan into the store through the side door very familiarly.After Song Mingxuan went in, he realized that there was a small side hall on the side of the shop, and there were a group of men waiting inside, ranging from seventeen to eighteen-year-old sons and twenty-seven-year-old officials.

Liu Ba explained to Song Mingxuan by the way: "This is a place for men, and only women can go in, we can't get in."

While speaking, the young daughter-in-law who greeted the guests had already arrived. Seeing Liu Bashun, she just said, "Isn't this Mr. Liu, the brother-in-law of Imperial Physician Du? Why come to us today when you have time."

Liu Bashun just smiled and said: "Today in Laba, the academy has its annual vacation and is planning to go back home. Please come over to have a look at some new styles of jewellery, the shopkeeper. Let me choose a few pieces of red gold and silver. "

Hearing the words, the shopkeeper just smiled and said, "Then Mr. Liu, you wait. By the way, Miss Xi'er came over last month and bought three gold and jade necklaces. Okay, do you want to take it back together?"

Hearing this, Liu Bashun just said, "Then bring it here, I'll take it back together, and tomorrow you send someone to come over to collect the money."

Song Mingxuan watched the shopkeeper leave, and only carefully thought about the silver taels in his purse at this moment.When he went to Yushan Academy, Zhao Caifeng gave himself five taels of silver to take with him. Yushan Academy’s monthly food expenses were one tael. Paper and inkstone, there is only half a tael of silver left in total.However, I was lucky. Before the annual leave, I was rated as an excellent student by the academy, and I was awarded two taels of silver. I don't know if these two taels of silver are enough to buy a decent hairpin.

Song Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this, and looked away from sending the shopkeeper away, feeling a little flustered in his heart.

Not long after, the shopkeeper came over with a royal blue satin brocade box, opened it and handed it to Liu Bashun and Song Mingxuan.

The brocade box is divided into two layers. On the upper layer there are six or seven red gold silk-wrapped hairpins inlaid with gemstones of various colors.The lower layer is a few plain silver hairpins, although they are not as eye-catching as the pure gold ones, they are more elegant and delicate.

The shopkeeper was very knowledgable, from the first time Song Mingxuan entered the door, he could see that he was shy.But Liu Bashun was so respectful and polite to him, he must be not an ordinary person.Sure enough, she only removed the upper layer of the brocade box, and saw that Song Mingxuan's eyes seemed to cool slightly, and the few silver hairpins at the bottom seemed to suit him very well.

Song Mingxuan's eyes glanced slightly at the hairpins in the brocade box, and he didn't express his opinion for a while. The shopkeeper only smiled and said, "My lord, although these hairpins look a little plain, they were designed by my lady herself. Yes, if you like it, the small shop can be considered cheaper."

When Song Mingxuan heard the words, he couldn't help raising his head and asked, "Is what the shopkeeper said really true?"

The shopkeeper only smiled and said: "Of course it's serious, this treasure workshop has not been opened in the capital for a year or two, how can it be tricked to deceive customers."

Song Mingxuan looked back and forth between those hairpins, lost his mind for a while, and only hesitated for a long time before reaching out and picking up a plum blossom-shaped hairpin.The hairpin was made into the shape of a plum blossom, with a few rice-sized pearls inlaid in the center of the flower, and several petals were also inlaid with pearls.The entire hairpin is in the shape of a plum blossom, three are in full bloom, two are in bud, and the last flower bud is slightly raised, ending with a big pearl, which is very unique.

Seeing that Song Mingxuan had chosen, Liu Bashun only went up to take a look, and said with a smile, "Brother Song is indeed a scholar, and this hairpin is very elegant." , how much is this hairpin?"

The shopkeeper just glanced at the hairpin, and said with a smile: "Master, you have taken a fancy to this? You are so lucky. A few months ago, a girl also fell in love with this hairpin. I saw that she matched this hairpin." Really, I wanted to give it to her, but she just refused to take it. Now that the young master has taken a fancy to it, it can be regarded as fate, I will charge you half a penny, so you can keep this hairpin."

After Song Mingxuan heard this, he still felt dissatisfied, so he said silently: "In this world, apart from Caifeng, there is definitely no one more worthy of this hairpin than her."
