Bai Yue was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something and raised his fingers towards Jian Yu. Jian Yu leaned over and listened to Bai Yue whisper something in his ear.
"Really?" Jian Yu frowned.
Bai Yue nodded: "Yes, Xu Feiyang, Qi Min, and Xie Changsheng were all there at that time. It's strange. We also found it strange, but we were anxious to find you so we didn't chase that person."
Liu Wenyi felt confused as she listened to them talking. But from what she heard, it seemed that it was not what she thought.
"I understand." Jian Yu responded to Bai Yue, then turned to Liu Wenyi and said: "Liu Wenyi, of course I agree with you. I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and give you and your sister justice. Although the Tan family is better than
You have money, but I don’t care about it, and I won’t do anything for personal gain or bending the law, so you can rest assured.”
"Then..." Liu Wenyi wanted to ask about Ruby's finger ring again, but was interrupted by Jian Yu raising his hand.
"The case is under investigation, and there is no comment on the process for the time being. If you have any news related to the case, you can report it to Dali Temple at any time." Jian Yu said expressionlessly: "If I hear you slandering and spreading rumors again, I will definitely
Be gentle."
After Jian Yu finished speaking, he took Bai Yue and left. Liu Wenyi was in a state of confusion, but she was frightened by Liang Meng who was standing aside and did not dare to say anything.
The capital city is the most prosperous and lively place in the Zhou Dynasty. Rouge, gouache, jewelry, silk and satin are all available, and it is so beautiful.
However, while the two were shopping, the topics they talked about were very inappropriate.
Jian Yu picked up a gold hairpin: "You said that the man I met in the mass grave had a lot of good things hidden in him."
"Yes." Bai Yue turned her head and asked Jian Yu to put it in her bun, and then looked in the mirror: "The bulging bags in his arms must have put a lot of things. At that time, I was surprised that he was buried there.
The locals are all poor people who can't even afford coffins, how could they be buried with such valuable jewelry."
It was strange at the time, and now that Liu Wenyi pointed it out, the ruby ring turned out to be from the Tan family, and it was even stranger.
"I remember what that person looked like." Bai Yue said regretfully, "But it will take a few days before I can draw it."
"There's something strange about this. Let's go to the mass graves in the afternoon and take a look." Jian Yu picked up a jade bracelet full of green, made a gesture on Bai Yue's wrist, and then guessed: "You are wearing this."
It should look good."
The shopkeeper said hurriedly: "This bracelet is of very good quality. The girl has fair skin and it looks better when she wears it. If you like it, try it... give it a try..."
Bai Yue raised his right hand expressionlessly. Although it had improved a lot, it was still obviously swollen.
"Um." The shopkeeper continued in a hurry: "I have been running this jewelry store for thirty years, and my eyes are as accurate as this ruler. This lady doesn't need to try it on. This bracelet must be just right for her to wear. It's very good.
It’s like it’s tailor-made for you.”
The boss is good at talking. Bai Yue smiled, stretched out his left hand, and asked Jian Yu to help put it on.
The hands are just ordinary hands, but the bracelet is so beautiful.
"I want it." Jian Yu said to the shopkeeper without raising his head.
There were several well-known powder shops, ready-made clothing shops, and silver shops in the capital. During the holidays, Jian Yu would also buy some gifts for his mother and women at home, and he knew the bosses.
"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you." The shopkeeper said happily: "Ms. Jian, I haven't seen you bring a young lady here to buy jewelry. This must be your fiancée, Miss Bai."
At the Wanshouyuan Jockey Club, Bai Yue became famous in one battle and became a good story in the capital.
"Yes." Jian Yu smiled and said, "But she doesn't like ordinary jewelry very much. If you have anything special in the future, you can send it to me for a look."
"Yes, yes, yes." The shopkeeper responded repeatedly. Who doesn't like business, and Jian Yu is not short of money and does not bargain. Besides, building a good relationship with the Minister of Dali Temple will make it easier to find a relationship if anything happens in the future.
Liang Meng took several jewelry boxes packed by the shopkeeper behind him and joined in the fun: "Master, don't just buy jewelry. You also have to choose a dowry box for Miss Bai. Otherwise, where can you put so many things..."
"Oh, yes." Jian Yu remembered it and was about to ask the boss to recommend a few. He heard a woman's voice outside the door and another customer came.
There was a faint fragrance, and three young women came in from the outside. They were all very exquisitely dressed and beautiful in their own characteristics. However, Jian Yu's expression changed a little, and even Liang Meng took a small step back inexplicably.
.
Bai Yue was looking at a box of tourmaline beads. There were about a hundred tourmaline beads in the large box. She picked out the round and lustrous ones one by one, planning to pick thirty-eight beads and let the shopkeeper string them together on a colorful bracelet.
Speaking of which, it is good to have a rich fiancé. Her income was not low before, but relatively speaking, it is impossible to buy jewelry openly. You can only appreciate it at jewelry exhibitions.
But now since Jian Yu is so insistent, just pick some. If you leave Jian's family one day, just don't take them with you.
Bai Yue was picking happily while concentrating on it, when he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the store had changed.
She turned her back to the door and didn't care. She just said that there were customers, so she said to the shopkeeper: "Boss, you can greet the customers. I can choose them myself. I will call you after I have chosen them."
The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his face, but before he spoke, someone said in surprise: "It's Mr. Jian, Mr. Jian is here too."
The person who said this was an acquaintance. Before Bai Yue looked back, he heard the voice and continued: "Meixing, come quickly, Master Jian is here too."
A beautiful woman in a light blue dress walked in gracefully and gracefully. After looking at Jian Yu, her eyes lit up: "Master Jian."
The voice was full of surprise. Before Jian Yu could reply, the woman named Mei Xing said again: "I haven't seen you for a long time, sir. When will you have time, please go visit the slave family. I learned a few new songs. I want to
I want to play it for the adults to hear."
In the cold winter, even though there was a curtain at the door of the store, Jian Yu still felt a gust of cold wind blowing in, making him feel a little cold for no reason.
Bai Yue finally slowly turned around and looked at Miss Mei Xing, who was still in surprise.
It is indeed beautiful, and as the name suggests, I feel pity for him.
In Bai Yue's eyes, Mei Xing finally noticed that Jian Yu's expression was not surprising. Not only was he not surprised, but he was also a little frozen. She had known Jian Yu for several years, and she had never looked at him in front of him.
I saw such an uncomfortable expression on my face.
Mei Xing's eyes finally moved away from Jian Yu's face and moved to Bai Yue's face.
"This must be Miss Jian's fiancée, Miss Bai." Mei Xing smiled again and said, "The Nu family has heard people say that the girl's style at the Wanshouyuan Jockey Club and Master Jian's talent and beauty made them a perfect match.
Others."
Bai Yue also smiled. From the words she spoke to the way she dressed, she looked like a girl from a brothel. A young lady from a wealthy family invited men to listen to music without opening her mouth.
But she was very discerning and knew how to advance and retreat. Although she couldn't hide her admiration for Jian Yu, she immediately adjusted her position the first time she saw Bai Yue and expressed just the right amount of envy and flattery to Bai Yue.
With her status, she didn't dare to expect anything. She only hoped that after Jian Yu got married to his wife, she would be generous and allow her to have the opportunity to become a concubine in the palace.
