Ye Fuxun smiled sweetly: "Since Ah Qiu is happy, I will give you this hairpin."
She gently inserted the hairpin into Ah Qiu's hair, smiled and looked at it, "It matches the dress Ah Qiu is wearing today. It looks really good."
Ah Qiu accepted the hairpin generously, took out the small mirror and looked around, feeling happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Let's go to Zhuque Street," Ye Fuxun told Xiao Yu, "and go to Zhenyu Zhai."
Zhenyuzhai is the largest century-old store in the capital. The jewelry it sells is favored by the ladies of the upper class in the capital. In addition to store sales, many mansions will specially invite the stewards of Zhenyuzhai to sell the most popular items of the season.
Jewelry items are delivered to the house for family members to choose from.
When everyone got off the carriage and walked along Zhuque Street to the door of the low-key and luxurious Zhenyu Zhai, Xiaoyu stepped forward smartly and raised her hand sign: "Miss, bring the guests here to choose jewelry."
After hearing the news, the shopkeeper of Zhenyuzhai came out personally and said, "The private room on the second floor has been prepared. Please come into the store with the two of you."
Yes, Zhenyuzhai was a property under the name of the original owner's aunt. In fact, it was transferred to Yu Yu's name a few years ago.
Because of Yu Yu's careful management, Zhenyuzhai's business is booming.
Yu Yu had issued orders to various properties of the Yu family early in the morning. There were three owners of the Yu family's property. In addition to him, there were Aunt Shen and Ye Fuxun.
The appearance of any one of the three people is equivalent to the arrival of the head of the family, who must be received with the most noble standards.
Ye Fuxun and Ah Qiu entered the private room, and one after another the maids walked in holding trays like water.
In addition to the most popular hairpin jewelry, there are also many rare treasures of Zhenyu Zhai that are displayed on the tray.
Ah Qiu was dazzled by what he saw, and kept marveling in his mouth.
"This, this, and this," Ah Qiu picked up this one, then that one, and kept saying, "I want them all."
The shopkeeper laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows. He kept saying hello and asked someone to take it out carefully and package it.
After selecting the most popular hairpin jewelry, Ah Qiu selected nearly ten pieces of jewelry, and then took Ye Fuxun and walked to the group of maids who were holding the treasure of the store.
The shopkeeper followed and introduced: "Guest, the few pieces of jewelry here are the treasures of our store. In addition to the rare materials used in the world, their craftsmanship is also by the most skilled craftsmen in Yan State.
A work that took several years of hard work to complete.”
Ah Qiu nodded while looking at it carefully, and his eyes fell on a tray: "I want this phoenix hairpin with tendril wings, three green tails and a single tassel hairpin, and the golden crown of the nine-zhai coiled dragon and four phoenix hairpin trees."
The shopkeeper took a breath: "Guest, to tell you the truth, these two treasures of the store were originally intended to be sent to the palace for nobles to choose from. They are indeed very expensive."
Ah Qiu nodded and asked, "How much silver do these two pieces cost?"
"These two pieces cost ten thousand taels each," the shopkeeper replied.
"It's really not cheap," Ah Qiu asked again, "Including the pieces of jewelry you just selected, how much is the total?"
The shopkeeper had already calculated the price in his mind and quickly quoted the price: "Returning to the customer, the total is twenty-eight thousand taels. As a distinguished customer of the eldest lady, you can get a 10% discount, so the total is twenty-five thousand two hundred taels."
"Go and wrap it up."
Ah Qiu's eyebrows curved, and she pulled Ye Fu Xun to laugh: "Today I asked Ah Xun for you to go shopping with me. I made the right one. I actually saved 2,800 taels!"
After buying jewelry, the two left Zhenyuzhai and went shopping on Zhuque Street.
"You don't know that I was really shocked when I first entered the main hall of Lanxi Palace." Ah Qiu held Ye Fulun's arm and chatted, "How come Ji Yannuo, that wooden man, has so many concubines!"
"Axun, you won't be unhappy when I say this, right?" Before Ye Fuxun could think of how to respond to Aqiu's words, he saw her looking at her nervously, "Although Ji Yannuo has so many concubines,
But based on what I know about him, he is definitely not a playboy."
"In fact, I have known him for so long, but I have never seen him have any affection for that woman." Ah Qiu sighed, then raised his eyebrows again, "You are the first one."
"Me?" Ye Fuxun pointed at himself and smiled awkwardly, "Aqiu, you are joking."
"I'm not joking." Ah Qiu approached Ye Fulun mysteriously, "Let me tell you, Ji Yannuo is so handsome, and I have seen many women actively showing affection to him in the past. Guess,
How did he cope?"
Ye Fuxun raised his eyebrows.
If she had to guess, then Ji Yannuo must be a bird of prey. If he blocked the way, he would just kick him away?
He heard Ah Qiu say to himself: "Ji Yannuo is the person who doesn't understand the most romantic. No matter how beautiful a girl is when she comes to him, she can only get one word in exchange for her, and that is 'get out'."
Poof!
Ye Fuxun couldn't help but laugh.
The same goes for Ah Qiu.
The two looked at each other happily for a while, then saw Ah Qiu again and sighed: "I originally thought that Ji Yannuo was indifferent to women, but after meeting you, I realized that was not the case at all."
Ye Fuxun was puzzled and raised his confused eyes: "How should I say it?"
"I think he really doesn't look down on the girls who show favor to him. Only a woman as beautiful as a fairy like you can catch his eye."
Ye Fuxun's face turned red: "Ah Qiu, it's not like that."
Ji Yannuo didn't fall in love with her, just because she was his concubine, and she happened to be valuable.
"I am a bystander," Ah Qiu said firmly, "Ji Yannuo is definitely attracted to you!"
Ye Fuxun:......
"I really envy you," Ah Qiu narrowed his eyes, "for being able to be together legitimately."
Ye Fuxun's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of Pei Kun.
Ah Qiu treats Pei Kun and Ji Yannuo differently.
From Ye Fuxun's point of view, Pei Kun seemed to be unable to feel Ah Qiu's feelings for him at all.
If you say that Pei Kun has no feelings for Ah Qiu, that's absolutely not true.
This is very strange.
Two people who obviously like each other and are familiar with each other, yet get along so awkwardly.
"Ah Xun," Ah Qiu interrupted Ye Fuxun's thoughts, "What are you thinking about?"
Ye Fuxun came back to his senses, his eyes moved slightly and he said, "I'm thinking about what happened when Pei Kun saw His Highness and me for the first time."
"Oh? What happened to him?" Ah Qiu was curious.
"It was one night when His Highness and I had just returned to the Prince's Mansion from outside." Ye Fuxun described the scene that day, "As soon as we got off the carriage, Pei Kun fell from the sky and drew his sword to chop me down."
Ah Qiu opened his mouth wide: "Why is he doing this?"
Ye Fuxun shrugged and glanced at Ah Qiu meaningfully: "Maybe it's because I belong to His Highness? He also said that Ji Yannuo had changed and that Ah Qiu was coming."
Ah Qiu was stunned for a moment, then turned red with embarrassment: "It turns out it's because of me."
She took Ye Fuxun's hand and apologized sincerely: "Fortunately, you are okay. But Ji Yannuo's swordsmanship is not inferior to that of brother Akun, so he will definitely be able to protect you.
