Chapter 46: Buy jewelry

   returned to the capital and returned the horses to the horse dealer. After collecting the deposit, Xu Qi'an walked out of the shop’s door and said:

   "Farewell, you go back first, I have something else."

   Xu Xinnian nodded, did not ask much, and left alone along the long street towards home.

   Xu Qi'an bought a sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the street and ate while walking. Not long after, he arrived at a jewelry shop:

   Baoqi Xuan!

   The boss of Baoqi Xuan is a talented person. In fact, it is very common for scholars to do business, especially those wealthy and expensive. It is impossible to support the corrupt living expenses of a large family by collecting farm rent.

   There are nobles behind the big shops and brothels in the capital.

   "Dafeng commerce has been unprecedentedly developed, but heavy taxes are on the peasants...I have reason to suspect that this is the nobles of the family."

   "How much silver can you grow from farming? If you want to be rich, you must get wool from the merchant."

"If you want the people to live better and make Dafeng's treasury richer, reform must be made. But if you are in charge of the government, it is your turn to speak to me as a small subordinate. Well, set a small goal, Let’s train Jiro to become the first assistant of Dafeng..."

   Thinking of the future appearance of Tsundere's little brother, Xu Qi'an couldn't help but curl up.

   Xu Qi'an stepped into the shop and glanced over the counter. Pieces of jewelry placed on the red silk came into view.

  钗, 钿, 笄, hairpin, step, Huasheng.... dazzled.

   Among them, gold is the most expensive, jade depends on the type, the more expensive is better than gold, and the cheap is about the same as silver.

   Xu Qi'an touched the three silver coins in his pocket, and muttered in his heart, this little money can't buy any precious jewelry.

   He was feeling the lack of money, he stepped on a hard bump under his feet, so he picked it up naturally, and kept his face unchanged.

   may be too natural, no one pays attention to him.

   "A penny of silver is useless, a penny of gold is about the same."

   He has the feeling of visiting a luxury store in his previous life. Anyway, he can't afford it. The only difference is that the store is very reserved and not as annoying as the waiter in the previous life. He can't wait to stick to you and let you consume immediately.

   "Store, do you have any discounts here?" Xu Qi'an knocked on the counter.

   The store is an old man with a goatee, dressed as a scholar, and he is not surprised.

   The shopkeeper pointed to the sign hanging on the wall, and smiled and said, "If you can solve the anagram objectively, the stuff in the shop can be half yours."

  This rule is the characteristic of Baoqixuan.

   The word puzzle is half off.... interesting.... Xu Qi'an walked to the wooden sign and scanned the word puzzle: Yun Poyue is here to make flowers!

   With a wealth of knowledge and logical reasoning ability, he quickly solved the anagram.

   "Some jewellery just weighs a few dollars, plus labor costs..."

   Xu Qi'an made an estimate and found that even at a half discount, he still couldn't afford good jewelry.

   But he soon found a way.

  The women who can come to Baoqi Xuan to buy jewelry are all well-off families. They have studied for several years, at least they are not illiterate women.

   There is a problem with women like this: half a bucket of water clinks.

   thinks he is a cultural person and likes arty, so he is especially addicted to the tricks of Baoqixuan.

   They like to buy jewelry at the same price, not for anything else, just to understand a word puzzle.

   If the word puzzle is solved, the store will engrave the correct puzzle under the wooden sign, and then give it to the customer along with the jewelry.

   It doesn't matter if they haven't solved it. Once they have solved one or two anagrams, they can brag with their close friends.

   This is Xu Qi'an's analysis of the store's routine after listening to the discussion of the two young women next to her.

   is worthy of being a shop opened by talents, knowing how to attract high-end customer groups.

   "Sister Yu, I can't solve any of the anagrams here, so difficult."

   "My sister said that the store is a well-known talented master, and the questions are naturally difficult, and those who are waiting for a scholar may not be able to solve it."

   "Sister Yu, my prince said the same thing. If I can solve the anagram and take the wooden sign, he will look at him with admiration."

   "Idiot people talk about dreams."

   "Oh, you hate it..."

   The two young ladies from the good family frowned at the wooden sign for a while, muttering and screaming.

   They dress very delicately, they are all in excellent family conditions, and they have a certain education, otherwise they will not try to solve word puzzles.

   "Two ladies."

   Suddenly, a man's voice rang from the side.

   The two beautiful young ladies turned their heads vigilantly, and after seeing Xu Qi'an, who had a handsome face and a tall stature, their vigilance was slightly lowered, but they did not speak.

  The atmosphere of the Dafeng dynasty is relatively free, but it is still very rude to talk with strange men on the street.

Xu Qi'an didn't care, and said straightforwardly: "I can solve crossword puzzles for the two ladies, but the two ladies will score half of the money I save. If I save five coins, you will score two and a half dollars. Save four dollars. , You score my two dollars."

   Hearing Xu Qi'an's suggestion, the store raised his head in surprise, carefully examined him for a moment, sneered, and stopped responding.

   Although this person is wearing a scholar's robe, as long as you carefully observe the physique and skin color, you will know that it is a swollen face and a fat man.

   Have you ever seen a scholar who is as strong as a cow and has wheat-colored skin?

   That ru shirt didn't fit at all.

   For Xu Qi'an's proposal, the younger woman had bright eyes and was quite moved.

   Older people, more dignified and reserved, and more cautious and alienated, said lightly: "The son is free~www.ltnovel.com~ If the anagram is really solved, the slaves will not fall back."

   Very strong sense of distance.

   "The two ladies choose one." Xu Qi'an smiled.

   The older woman hesitated a bit. The younger woman was eager to try. Seeing that the sister beside her had no objection, she pointed to one of the wooden signs: "The cloud breaks the moon and the flowers make a shadow."

   has a soft voice.

   Xu Qi'an immediately said: "The able to work harder "can"."

   The two little ladies subconsciously turned their heads to look at the store, the store's dumbfounded expression said everything.

   At the moment, the young lady bought a golden hairpin and happily pulled it in her hand. Looking at Xu Qi'an's eyes, they became bright.

   After receiving the wooden sign, she rolled her eyes and her tone became familiar, and said: "Can the son continue to solve the word puzzles for the slave family."

   "Lianer..." The woman called Sister Yu pulled her sleeve.

   "Sister Yu, the two of us came together, I have, you don't, that's not good." After speaking, the good family named Lian'er looked at Xu Qi'an expectantly.

   Can't ask for it... Xu Qi'an showed a warm smile: "No problem, the lady chooses another one."

   "The east bird flies southeast." She pointed to a wooden sign.

   "Sun!" Xu Qi'an said.

   "..." The store was dumbfounded.

   "Thanks to the son..."

   The two little girls picked their favorite jewelry and left the shop contentedly.

   Xu Qi'an’s ears are amazing. He heard the woman named Lian'er say: "This young man is really talented and tall and handsome, much stronger than my prince."

   "Don't talk nonsense." The older woman scolded.

   She seemed to be afraid of being heard by Xu Qi'an, and came up to entangle her, pulling Lian'er and leaving quickly.
