Chapter 14 Jewelry
When Qi Tanying learned that she was going to meet someone, she thought she had heard it wrong, and she was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses.

Mrs. Qi told her about the situation in the man's house, and she lost her mind after listening.

Seeing her daughter's absent-minded look, Mrs. Qi thought that she was unwilling to see Yan Li, and persuaded her: "This Yan Li was chosen by your aunt and me. Apart from being older, there is nothing wrong with it."

One thing that Mrs. Qi didn't dare to mention to her daughter was that Yan Li had already taken a concubine before she got married.

"Mother thinks, no matter what, you should meet him first, if you don't like him, mother will never force you."

Qi Tanying was not unwilling, but felt a little hasty.

A few days ago, her mother was sick in bed because of too much worry, but in just a few days, she has the energy to discuss her marriage.

Although her mother was born and raised in Kyoto, she has been a widow for many years and has lived in Wuzhou for a long time. She has lost contact with her old friends for a long time, so where can she find a way to find her husband's family for her.

You don't need to think about it, you know that these things are almost all taken care of by your aunt Mrs. Jiang.

She had an intuition that the reason why Yan Li agreed to see her might also be because she was Mrs. Jiang's niece.Otherwise, according to his current official rank of sixth rank, there are other better choices.

Seeing that her daughter did not object to seeing each other, Mrs. Qi instantly became more energetic, and hurriedly discussed with Mrs. Jiang the date of the meeting, and finally chose April 23.

After setting a date for the meeting, Mrs. Qi decided to go to Lingyun Pavilion to buy some clothes and jewelry for her daughter. Mrs. Jiang contributed her efforts this time, and to express her gratitude, she brought Jiang Zhi and Jiang Mei along.

When Jiang Zhi and Jiang Mei heard that Mrs. Qi was going to take them to Lingyun Pavilion to buy jewelry, they were very excited.Where is Lingyun Pavilion? It's the famous selling gold cave in Kyoto, and it's a place they can't go twice a year.

Lingyun Pavilion's jewelry is fashionable and unique, but the price is high, but it is hard to find.All the jewelry shops in Kyoto followed the lead of Lingyun Pavilion, and it took a month for other shops to sell the styles sold in Lingyun Pavilion.

But those shops are just imitation styles, no matter the workmanship or materials, they are all lower than those of Lingyun Pavilion.

Mrs. Qi took Qi Tanying and the three of them straight to Lingyun Pavilion, and they were received by a tall maid with a round face and almond eyes.

Mrs. Qi smiled and said to the round-faced maid: "Please show me your latest jewelry. I want to choose some jewelry for the children in my family."

The round-faced maid shook her head, "Madam, I'm really sorry, but you need to book five days in advance to try on the latest jewelry."

"There is such a rule?" Mrs. Qi was a little puzzled, "Mrs. Qi frowned, the previous Lingyun Pavilion did not have such rules."

The round-faced maid took a few glances at Mrs. Qi calmly, and saw that although the group of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, their dresses were made of high-quality brocade, so she knew that this was also a master who was not short of money.

But who can come to Lingyun Pavilion to spend, which one will be short of money?

"Madam and the three ladies must have returned to Beijing from other places, right? Lingyun Pavilion changed to a new owner earlier, and the new owner is none other than the Lin family, known as the number one imperial merchant in Kyoto."

Mrs. Qi was a little stunned when she heard that, it turned out that Lingyun Pavilion had become the shop of the Lin family.Thinking that a few days ago, she still disliked that the youngest son of the Lin family was not good enough for her daughter, so today she came to buy jewelry at his shop.

It's really embarrassing.

Fortunately, she only said those words to her own sister, and no one else knew.What's more, she spent money to buy things, and she didn't come to the door to make autumn wind, so there's nothing embarrassing about it.

Thinking of this, she put aside her messy thoughts, and looked at the round-faced maid seriously, "If you have any new rules here, let's also talk about them."

The round-faced maid said: "In addition to trying on new styles that need to be booked five days in advance, the private room for female guests also needs to be booked in advance."

There are so many rules!
Mrs. Qi thought to herself that she would never come again after this time.

Because there was no advance reservation, the round-faced maid took Mrs. Qi and the four to the counter where ordinary jewelry was placed to choose.Qi Tanying looked at the jewelry from left to right, and always felt that the jewelry was too vulgar and she didn't like it.

She asked the round-faced maid, "Do you have some more elegant and clean hairpins?"

"Please come with me."

Qi Tanying talked to Mrs. Qi, and followed the round-faced maid to another counter. The jewelry displayed at this counter was indeed more in line with Qi Tanying's wishes than the previous one.

She looked at it one by one, and a pink and white cherry blossom hosta caught her attention.

She pointed to the jade hairpin and said to the round-faced maid, "I want to see that."

The round-faced maid immediately took it out, and Qi Tanying took a closer look at the jade hairpin, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

The round-faced maid praised: "Miss has a good eye. This jade hairpin is made of top-grade Hetian jade and carved with openwork techniques. The body of the hairpin is shiny and smooth, and the head of the hairpin is nine pink and white. For a long time."

"how much is it?"

"500 taels."

too expensive!The price of the jade hairpin exceeded Qi Tanying's expectations. She felt that it was not worth spending 500 taels for a hairpin, so she returned the jade hairpin to the round-faced maid.

The round-faced maid was a little disappointed, and was about to persuade her to buy it when she heard a low, magnetic male voice from the side.

"This jade hairpin is very suitable for Miss Qi."

Qi Tanying followed the sound and looked at that person, it turned out to be Wu Han, the son of Prince Pingning.

"I have met the prince." Qi Tanying blessed him, "The prince is also here to buy jewelry?"

Wu Han nodded, "Buy a birthday gift for my sister at home."

Qi Tanying remembered the little girl she met in the Changxing Palace that day. Does such a young child also like jewelry?
Perhaps seeing Qi Tanying's doubts, Wu Han explained, "It's not Yu'er who celebrates her birthday, but another little sister."

It turned out to be the case.

Not far away, Mrs. Qi frowned when she saw her daughter talking to a strange man, and walked towards them.

After approaching, she asked Qi Tanying: "Have you picked out a hairpin you like?"

Qi Tanying shook her head.

Mrs. Qi's eyes fell on Wu Han's expression, "Who is this?"

Qi Tanying was about to introduce, but Wu Han took the lead to reveal his identity. Mrs. Qi didn't remember who King Pingning was for a while, Qi Tanying added: "Wu Shizi is the cousin of Princess Qingyang."

Mrs. Qi's eyes froze when she heard the words, ah, she looks like a dog, but she is actually related to the Princess Qingyang who snatched the marriage contract.

Certainly not a good thing!

Mrs. Qi lost the smile on her face. Others love Wu and Wu, but she hates Wu and Wu.Anyone who is associated with Prince Changxing's Mansion and Princess Qingyang should not expect her to look good.

She snorted coldly, took her daughter and left.

Qi Tanying turned her head and smiled apologetically at Wu Han, then followed Mrs. Qi to another counter.

Wu Han stared at her back for a while, then turned to the round-faced maid and said, "I want this hairpin."

The round-faced maid hurriedly put it in a box and handed it to him.

Qi Tanying didn't know that the jade hairpin she liked was bought by Wu Han, she lost interest after leaving the counter, and let Mrs. Qi choose a few fancy jewelry for her.

After shopping for jewelry, Mrs. Qi went to the cloth shop with a few girls. She tried her best to dress up her daughter well, and at the recommendation of the shopkeeper of the cloth shop, she chose some expensive and elegant materials.

Back at the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Zhi and Jiang Mei happily showed Mrs. Jiang what they had gained today.

Jiang Zhi got a red agate bracelet, a pair of pearl earrings and a snow-blue smoked yarn.Jiang Mei got a gold-encrusted jade hairpin, a string of chrysoprase bracelets, and a piece of water-green lake silk.

Although Mrs. Jiang blamed her sister for spending money, she was satisfied in her heart.
