Chapter 574 Su Jiu Feels His Poverty For The First Time

Su Jiu was curious: "How do you look?"

Hua Rourou pouted: "Of course not. You two didn't see it. The girls I saw were rougher than the other! That skin, tsk, it's unbearable!"

He exaggeratedly widened his eyes, "I asked specifically, they don't even put skin care cream on their bodies after bathing! They are not as delicate as me, how can I like it?!"

Su Jiu and Zhou Baojin looked at each other silently.

In the world, there is probably no girl who lives a more delicate life than Hua Rourou.

The three of them wandered around all morning before having a delicious lunch in the restaurant.

After lunch, Su Jiu took the two of them to visit Jingyuan Baojian.

The elegantly decorated antique shop is a small three-story building.

It stands at the end of the long street, and the plaque is bright and colorful, which shows that the boss behind it has strong financial resources.

The maid greeted her, "What do you guys want to buy?"

Su Jiu explained the purpose of her visit, and the maid immediately brought some jasper finger rings for her to choose, "The finger rings in our shop are all the best, and all jade materials are carefully selected without any flaws."

Su Jiu looked carefully.

These thumb ring jades are of ordinary quality, definitely not the one that Xiao Tingchen had fancy at the beginning.

She said softly, "Is there anything better?"

The maid's smile got a little impatient, "Yes, there are, but can the girl afford it?"

They are used to looking at dishes, and they know almost all the noble ladies in Chang'an City. Because Su Jiu has never bought anything here, they don't know her.

In addition, Su Jiu was wearing ordinary clothes, so the maid thought she was from a small family.

Hua Rourou held her handkerchief and scratched her head beside her, "Keep your eyes open, this is the mistress of Prince Yong's Mansion! Who are you trying to send off with these ordinary things?"

The maid froze for a moment, her eyes immediately changed.

She smiled and blessed herself, "It's because I have eyes that I don't know Mount Tai, which makes Princess Yong a joke. The princess invites you upstairs, the ones upstairs are the best."

Su Jiu no longer wanted to talk to her.

The shopkeeper saw that his maid had offended the nobleman, so he had to wink at her and told her to step down and come to serve Su Jiu in person.

Stepping up to the third floor, Su Jiu looked around. The goods displayed on the counters were indeed more expensive than those on the first and second floors.

She took a fancy to the jasper finger wrench placed in the center.

The jade is warm and moist, and the color is dark green, which is very comfortable to look at.

Xiao Tingchen's fingers are slender and fair. If he wears this finger ring, his skin will be more transparent and white.

She asked, "How much silver does this wrench cost?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Princess Yong really has a vision! This is the treasure of our Jingyuan Baojian, and it is an ornament worn by the founding emperor when the Sui Kingdom ruled the world hundreds of years ago. It is made of the best Hetian jasper. That piece is carved, the carving technique and antique value are unmatched by any finger wrench today&%#..."

He just kept talking and never mentioned the price.

The more Su Jiu listened, the more guilty he became.

Hundreds of years ago, the Great Sui Kingdom was very powerful and once unified the Central Plains.

The debauchery of the descendants of later generations led to the collapse of the Sui Dynasty and the current situation of disputes among the nations.

The finger wrench worn by the Great Sui Emperor...

How much silver do I need? !
The shopkeeper finally finished introducing the origin of this ring finger, and said with a smile: "This finger ring is asking for 58 taels of silver. Although we Jingyuan Baojian never bargains, but for the sake of Princess Yong's sincere desire to buy it, I can erase the odds for you."

Su Jiu can no longer breathe!

Hua Rourou also thought that this finger wrench looked good, and tentatively asked with expectation: "You mean, sell it to us for 50 taels?"

Shopkeeper: "After erasing the odds, it is 58 taels."

Hua Rourou: "..."

What's the difference between this and not wiping? !

Su Jiu felt his own poverty for the first time.

Is she missing the 800 taels? !

What she lacks is the 58 taels!
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Princess Yong, can you accept this price? I heard that Prince Yong's mansion spent millions of taels of silver to build the star-picking platform a few days ago, and Prince Yong is the owner of Lufeng Bank. It’s nothing to say.”

Su Jiu touched the tip of his nose guiltily.

Xiao Tingchen is very rich, but she is not.

But this jasper finger is what Xiao Tingchen wants again...

While hesitating, a female voice suddenly sounded:
"This finger is the master of this county!"

Su Jiu looked over, Yuan Fuxue was surrounded by maids.

Su Jiu blessed his body, "Princess Yuan."

Yuan Fuxue was condescending, "Tomorrow I'm going to get married to brother Rong Zheng, so I came out and picked out some gifts for him. This jade finger is delicate and gentle, and it suits brother Zheng's gentlemanly conduct best. Since Princess Yong can't afford it, it's better to give it up To the princess."

Su Jiu stared at Yu Tengzhi.

The dark green jade is shiny and delicate, and the unicorn pattern is lifelike. It was worn by the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty...

She remembered that when Xiao Tingchen was reading military books a few days ago, he mentioned that he admired the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

He should really like this wrench...

After thinking about it, she thought, "Who says I can't afford it? Wrap it up for me. I'm going to buy it today."

Zhou Baojin tugged at her sleeve and reminded in a low voice: "Susu, we have no money..."

Yuan Fuxue smiled, "Concubine Yong is shy, maybe she doesn't have that much money?"

While speaking, he gestured.

A maid came over with a brocade box, which contained a thick wad of silver notes.

Yuan Fuxue is rich and powerful: "There is no need to give change for the 60 taels of silver bill. I want this finger ring, wrap it up and send it to Rong's residence."

After shouting, she moved close to Su Jiu's ear, her voice was very low:
"Su Jiu, are you very angry? Brother Rong Zheng was tortured by you to forget about eating and drinking, and became thinner day by day. Uncle Rong was dismissed from office and lost his power because of you. As the daughter-in-law of the Rong family, I can do it. It's revenge for you! Su Jiu, I want you to taste the pain of being robbed of everything!"

Su Jiu looked into Yuan Fuxue's eyes.

Those should be a pair of beautiful eyes, full of water, pure and willful.

It's a pity that now it's full of hatred.

She said lightly: "Princess Yuan is a girl who grew up on horseback. In fact, Chang'an is not suitable for you. The Rong family is even less suitable for you."

Yuan Fuxue sneered, "You are jealous of me marrying Brother Rong Zheng! I know, you still like Brother Rong Zheng in your heart, you bought this jade finger ring because it matches Brother Rong Zheng very well! But Su Jiu, You won't get him after all!"

Su Jiu was speechless.

If Yuan Fuxue is the kind of woman who has tried her best, she can certainly ridicule her as much as she wants.

However, the hateful and pitiful Yuan Fuxue in her eyes made her want to show mercy.

Yuan Fuxue rolled up half of his wide sleeves again: "Su Jiu, last time you showed off that King Yong sent you to the star stage, you also said that brother Rong Zheng was stingy, but now I want to prove it to you that brother Rong Zheng is not stingy! "

She pointed to the red bean bracelet on her wrist, "See, this string of red bean beads is a token of love from my brother Rong Zheng! Red beans are grown in the southern country, and spring comes to send a few branches. I hope you pick more, this thing is the most love... this The meaning of the string of beads is far greater than your platform for picking stars!"

The red beans are plump and round.

Su Jiu's eyes are extremely familiar.

This string of beads is clearly something that Rong Zheng gave her in the past...

She looked at Yuan Fuxue complicatedly.

The girl from the Northwest, but 16 years old, is a very good time.

The pretty little face is full of intoxication and joy, completely immersed in happiness.
