Wang Xiu was not too interested in the jade bracelet described by Grandma Gu. The reason why she came was because Mrs. Jiang was here.
The shopkeeper in the store was startled when he saw her, but quickly looked away. It was obvious that the shopkeeper of the Zhou family knew her.
Wang Xiu closed her eyes and pretended not to know. She greeted Mrs. Jiang, and Mrs. Jiang stood up to greet her, took her hand and said, "I like you very much. I think it's a perfect match for you, but I don't."
Do you know if you like it?"
With that said, he asked the shopkeeper to show it to Wang Xiu.
The head shopkeeper quickly took out the bracelet and handed it over.
Wang Xiu looked at it and found that the water level was good. Then she asked, "How much does this jade bracelet cost?"
Mrs. Jiang thought she was interested in it, and she quickly said happily: "You don't have to worry about the price, as long as you like it."
Wang Xiu knew Mrs. Jiang's good intentions, but the bracelet was defective, so he immediately said: "Madam, don't worry, I'm looking at the colored roots of this jade bracelet. I want to ask the price and see if it suits me?"
This is called an expert's judgment. Mrs. Jiang immediately said cautiously: "He said the original price was fifteen thousand taels, but now with a 50% discount, it only costs seven thousand five hundred taels."
Wang Xiu raised his head, looked at the big shopkeeper and said, "Really?"
Seeing that Wang Xiu had noticed the color root, the big shopkeeper smiled guiltily and said, "Yes."
Wang Xiudao: "Bring the lamp over and let me take a look."
The big shopkeeper was hesitant.
Mrs. Jiang became interested and quickly said to the shopkeeper: "Bring the lamp over quickly."
Then while the shopkeeper went to get the lamp, she quietly asked Wang Xiudao: "Can't I buy it?"
Wang Xiu saw that the big shopkeeper had been looking at them, so he said: "This quality, seven thousand five hundred taels is not expensive, it is the same price on the market. But, we need to take a closer look."
When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she realized that the price was the same on the market, so any discounts were just a lie.
She immediately showed Wang Xiu the few headscarves she had picked. Wang Xiu saw that the styles were quite good-looking and said: "According to the price of gold, it must be expensive. But we are buying jewelry, not gold bricks. As long as it is expensive
If it’s not outrageous, just think of it as a happy purchase.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang knew that she had not taken any advantage. Of course, she would not suffer any loss when buying jewelry.
It's just that anything sold at 50% off must be the regular price.
Soon, the big shopkeeper brought the lamp over.
Wang Xiu passed the bracelet under the lamp and said, "This bracelet is worth three thousand taels."
Mrs. Jiang was shocked, she calculated it silently, and then she was secretly glad that she hadn't bought it yet.
Although the big shopkeeper felt guilty, he felt a little angry when he heard that Wang Xiu had cut the price in half.
This bracelet was purchased for three thousand five hundred taels.
He immediately said: "Madam, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. We paid more than three thousand taels for this bracelet."
Wang Xiudao: "There are lines on the inside, cracks on the outside, and obvious color roots. It is also such a kind of water. It has no collection value. When I say three thousand taels, I am talking about its market price. If you want to buy it with
If you sell it to me at such a price, I won’t accept it.”
"Three thousand taels, I want to buy some Hetian ruby. Why should I buy your ice-cracked bracelet?"
After Wang Xiu finished speaking, he returned the bracelet.
The big shopkeeper took it and looked at it, and said very nervously: "Where is the crack?"
Wang Xiu saw that he didn't seem to know, so he said: "The bottom of the color root is cracked. You will know it by pressing it with your hands."
The shopkeeper found the color-rooted part and found that there were indeed cracks, and when he touched it carefully with his hand, it felt like a buckle.
Because it was on the inside of the bracelet, he only just found out about it.
But he pretended to be calm and said: "I probably hit it accidentally. I'll polish it and there won't be any problem."
Wang Xiudao: "But your bracelet has two horizontal cracks inside. I advise you not to bother with it."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was shocked again, but he said on his face: "Those are ice patterns, which are naturally formed. How can jade be perfect? It is precisely because of this that it proves that this jade bracelet of mine is natural."
of."
Wang Xiu listened and smiled lightly.
She said to Mrs. Jiang: "With thousands of taels of silver, if you don't buy real ones, how can you buy fake ones? The capital has such strict control, I thought there would be no one selling fakes!"
Seeing that the big shopkeeper still refused to admit his mistake after being exposed, Mrs. Jiang immediately sneered: "If they dare to sell thousands of taels of fake goods, they may lose their lives."
According to Dayan's law, one person will be punished ten times, and if the amount is huge, he will also need to endure whipping and hard labor.
Seeing that Mrs. Jiang had extraordinary momentum, and that Wang Xiu relied on her momentum, the big shopkeeper secretly guessed Mrs. Jiang's identity. But at this time, it was too late to go out to check, so he lowered his attitude and said: "Everything we sell here must be
It's genuine. The Zhou family business is not the only one in the capital. Madam, you can go out and ask around. Our family has always been honest and upright!"
Mrs. Jiang didn't want to argue with him anymore and said directly: "Just wrap up the ones I wanted before. You can return the rest to me with the banknote. We don't want the jade bracelet!"
The chief shopkeeper was afraid that they would not even buy the gold jewelry they had chosen, so he was very happy when he heard Mrs. Jiang said that he wanted to settle the bill.
I saw him asking the waiter to wrap Mrs. Chiang's jewelry while doing the accounting at the counter.
Soon, the large-denomination banknote was returned to Mrs. Jiang.
After Mrs. Jiang got the banknote, she did not rush to pretend, but said to Wang Xiu: "It's rare to get out, let's go shopping on Zhuangyuan Street again. You know a lot about jade bracelets, and you can also hold my eyes for me."
Wang Xiu nodded and agreed immediately.
Coincidentally, Zheng Sihan came to check the accounts at this time. She saw the large banknote in Mrs. Jiang's hand and thought that Mrs. Jiang was here to return the money. When she walked in and saw Wang Xiu, she suddenly became angry.
I saw her greeting Mrs. Jiang, as if she hadn't seen Wang Xiu, and asked directly: "Mrs. Jiang, are you here to buy jewelry? Do you want me to ask the guys to get you some treasures for the store?"
Seeing that she did not say hello to Wang Xiu, Mrs. Jiang felt that she was rude and felt unhappy, so her face naturally turned cold.
"No need, we've already seen the gem in your store and we didn't like it!"
Mrs. Jiang's words confirmed Zheng Sihan's suspicion that Wang Xiu was here to deliberately sabotage their store's business.
She added: "Did Mrs. Lu say that there are better ones elsewhere? Our small store cannot be compared with the shops on Zhuangyuan Street, but the goods are not bad, and they are even cheaper than those on Zhuangyuan Street.
"
Wang Xiu smiled. She ignored Zheng Sihan's insinuations. She just glanced at Mrs. Jiang helplessly and said, "Have I ever said this?"
Mrs. Jiang patted Wang Xiu's hand. At this moment, she felt that Zheng Sihan was sharp-tongued and very uneducated. They were all people walking outside, so why did Wang Xiu give people the impression of being thoughtful, calm and appropriate. But this Zheng Sihan
Looks pretentious, arrogant and rude?
So she mocked and said: "People's hearts are evil, and no one looks like a good person. It's okay, you should learn more about it!"
Wang Xiu smiled and was noncommittal. Mrs. Jiang was not easy to mess with. Zheng Sihan must not be stupid, otherwise...she didn't mind fanning the flames and letting Zheng Sihan have a taste of what it means to be vigorous and resolute!
