Chapter 22 I want to raise this milk baby (1)
Shangguan Shijin, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, it was really fierce!
"Thank you for helping me again!" Gu Xiaobei said sincerely.

"Since you thank me, you should take some practical actions." Shangguan Shijin smiled slightly and took a step forward.

"I have no money and no color!" Gu Xiaobei immediately nervously protected the purse in his arms.

Shangguan Shijin was taken aback, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Do I look like I'm short of both money and color?"

"I just want the girl to help me choose a piece of jewelry. Today, my cousin Ji Ji, I want to choose a good jewelry for her. But I don't know what style the girl likes, so I ask the girl to help me out." Shangguan Shijin said Edge pointed behind her.

It was a crossroads, crossing the intersection, and walking forward was another street, which was full of jewelry shops in the city.

The servant Guo Yang who followed Shangguan Shijin was very confused. Didn't the young master prepare a gift for Miss Biao long ago?
"I can give suggestions, but in the end you have to choose by yourself, and you will bear the consequences yourself." Gu Xiaobei said as soon as the two entered the jewelry store.

Although I don't know why Shangguan Shijin asked her, a peasant girl, to help choose jewelry, but he did choose the right person. The company Gu Xiaobei worked in in his previous life was in the fashion industry.

Shangguan Shijin is a well-known nobleman in Ziyuan County. The shopkeeper of the jewelry store was very happy to see him coming in, and immediately piled all the high-quality jewelry in front of them.

At first glance, the gold, silver and jewelry are shining with gold, which looks very luxurious, but it is not ordinary tacky. What kind of jewelry has not been seen by the daughter of a wealthy family?Gu Xiaobei thought to himself, his eyes quickly passed these golden lights, and landed on an open box in the farthest corner.

Everyone followed her gaze, and saw a pair of crystal-clear earrings lying quietly in the box, with a delicate peony flower inlaid on the transparent earrings, the beauty and subtlety implied nobility.

The shopkeeper who is most observant of facial expressions has long seen that Shangguan Shijin intends to let the little girl choose, so he smiled like a chrysanthemum and said, "Young lady is really discerning. These glass earrings are a novelty. They are cheap and beautiful. Ten days ago, when I went to the capital to purchase goods, I found this glass jewelry, which is a new material. I thought it would be profitable, so I bought [-] kinds of glass jewelry. I wanted to try it out first. Go out, if the girl likes it, I'll sell it to you cheaply." The shopkeeper said happily.

"The one who wants to buy is Mr. Shangguan, not me, but you don't have to worry, this thing will definitely sell well after it is accepted by people." Gu Xiaobei said.

When Bai Qiaoer chatted with her before, she also talked about all kinds of jewelry, but never mentioned glass jewelry. It must be a newly produced material. Although this thing is not as gorgeous as gold and silver jewelry, it is more exquisite and delicate. Some wealthy households in the county They are all getting rich, they only like gorgeous things and don't know how to appreciate cheap glazed jewelry, but they like to follow in the footsteps of the capital. When the glazed fashion in the capital blows to this small town in the future, they will definitely be liked by the right people.

Gu Xiaobei remembered that in his previous life he had seen such a sentence in the "Pharmacist Liuliguang Tathagata's Original Vow Merits and Virtue Sutra": "I wish that when I attain Bodhi in the next life, my body will be like glass, clear inside and outside, pure and free from blemishes!"

"What a 'I hope that when I attain Bodhi in the next life, my body will be like glass, clear inside and outside, pure and flawless'!" Shangguan Shijin sighed, and then smiled and said to the shopkeeper: "This glass is a good thing. Your glass jewelry here I want them all, and I don’t need to pay any more, just pay the original price.”

"Okay! Thirty pairs, a total of 100 taels of silver." The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes with joy, unexpectedly, the items that he thought would not be sold were sold out at once today, and they were sold at the original price.

Only then did Gu Xiaobei come to his senses, it turned out that she couldn't help chanting that sentence, but isn't this thing said to be cheap?It's so expensive.

"Why are you a big man buying so much?" Gu Xiaobei wondered, spending a full 100 taels to buy so much.

"Didn't you say that this thing will sell well? The price will definitely increase at that time, and I can make a small profit by selling it again." Shangguan Shijin smiled, and then waved to the boy next to him: "You Immediately send people to the capital to buy a batch of glazed jewelry."

"Yes!" The boy was struggling to recognize Gu Xiaobei as the girl from Nanmen Village just now, but now he immediately became excited when he heard this, replied again, and ran away.

Sure enough, he is a businessman who can think of making money in everything!Gu Xiaobei secretly praised, but why did the boy avoid her in fear? "Your boy doesn't seem to like me very much!"

"Girl thinks too much." Shangguan Shijin said with a slight smile. Since he saw Gu Xiaobei's hot side from Nanmen Village last time, he didn't dare to provoke women. This time, seeing Gu Xiaobei again is naturally a little uncomfortable. , but is Gu Xiaobei so scary?Why doesn't he feel that?
After paying the money, Shangguan Shijin took the box of earrings that Gu Xiaobei was looking at just now, and asked the shopkeeper to deliver the other jewelry to Shangguan's house for him, and then left the shop with Gu Xiaobei.

Shangguan Shijin stuffed the glazed earrings together with the box into Gu Xiaobei's hands, and said with a smile, "You let me make money today, and I give this earrings to you as a thank you gift."

"I can't take this gift." Gu Xiaobei immediately handed him the box again: "If you want to thank me, I would like to ask you something."

Shangguan Shijin didn't take the box, but smiled and said: "Talk about it, if I know, I will know everything, and I can say everything."

"Did you know that a wife named Bai came to our Nanmen Village half a year ago? Have you heard of his background?" Gu Xiaobei pursed her lips and said, every time she asked Bai Qiaoer, she turned her away, and she also said She didn't continue to ask, but this matter seemed to have a lump in her heart. Although it didn't hurt, it was uncomfortable.

It's fine if I don't have any friendship with Bai Qingli's family, but now that I'm in contact with the Bai family, I naturally have to inquire about it, otherwise I feel uneasy, so I can see that Shangguan Shijin seems to be a well-informed person, so she just endured it. I couldn't stop asking him about it.

Shangguan Shijin was well-informed and knew a thing or two about this matter. When he was about to answer, he suddenly saw a person walking behind Gu Xiaobei. He smiled meaningfully and said, "I guess I don't need to tell the girl about this."

Gu Xiaobei was puzzled, turned around to look, and saw Bai Qingli standing behind her with a handsome face, staring at her with burning eyes, as if he wanted to stare her out of a hole before giving up.

Inquiring about other people's affairs, but being caught by the person concerned, Gu Xiao was very guilty and embarrassed, avoiding his almost angry eyes, and said in an embarrassing way: "Why are you here?"

"There are people coming and going on this street, why can't I come? Since you want to know about me, why don't you ask me yourself?" Bai Qingli snorted coldly.
