Chapter 155: Borrowing Money

Chu Jiayu got off the carriage first, then helped Chu Xinyu down. The two of them entered the shop. The guy came up, "I wonder what the two girls are going to buy?"

"Are there any good introductions?" Chu Xinyu asked.

"Although our Jinyutang is not one of the best cities in Jinjing, it has many varieties and a complete range of products. If you want to find a style, just tell us one word and you can find it for you." The guy patted his heart and promised.

Chu Xinyu said, "Then let's take a look first."

But she walked around the counter and didn't see the jewelry she was looking for. She thought, Has it been bought after half a year?

Seeing that Chu Xinyu had not found a suitable one, the guy stepped forward again and asked, "What style does the girl want?"

Chu Xinyu pointed to the flower hairpin on Chu Jiayu's hairpin and said, "I want something like this, it seems very rare."

The guy glanced at the flower hairpin that Chu Jiayu was wearing and said, "This style seems to be launched half a year ago, but now it's gone, so why not introduce some new ones."

"Okay, take a look."

When the guy took it out with a tray, Chu Xinyu swept it over one by one. These jewelry were very ordinary, not as exquisite as those of Yufang Pavilion, and were more popular, and there was no style she was looking for.

Forget it, even if there is one, it might be possible to buy it out. Thinking of her, she stood up and left, the guy immediately called her and said, "Girl, don't rush to leave. If you are not satisfied with the viewing, there are still some jewelry behind it, so the girl can still check it out."

Chu Xinyu frowned, what does this mean?

The guy lowered his voice and said, "Some things are expensive, but the shopkeeper said it was not convenient to take them out for people to see, just keep them for the distinguished guests."

When Chu Xinyu heard this, he became interested and said, "Take me to see."

"Sister..." Chu Jiayu pulled her. She didn't understand why Chu Xinyu asked her to bring her here when she saw her flower hairpin. But after seeing so many, some of them were actually good, but Chu Xinyu looked down on her. Now that she was yelling at the guy to take some expensive ones, she was shocked. Those that were not worth a few hundred taels were not bought.

"It's okay, just go and have a look." Chu Xinyu patted her back and said.

The treasure sinks to the bottom of the sea. If there is really a problem with this store, good things are not so easy to take out.

The guy went to talk to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper came over to take them to a wing room in the backyard, built a pot of Biluochun, and then ordered someone to pick up the jewelry one by one for Chu Xinyu to see.

Although the shop here is small, the service is similar to large-scale jewelry stores such as Yufang Pavilion. If the shopkeeper had not brought them in, he would have really not known that there was such a VIP room in the backyard.

Chu Xinyu glanced a few times and found that the best thing was left behind. She moved the jewelry in front of her, picked it up and looked over it. When she saw what she was interested in, she would turn it over and take a closer look.

There are many types of jewelry, including bracelets, bead hairpins, jade bracelets, bead strings, stairs, earrings, chain jade, flower hairpins, etc. Each one looks good not only in color but also in full weight.

Chu Jiayu also liked it very much, but unfortunately she didn't have that much silver. When she saw Chu Xinyu picking a double butterfly playful cloud white jade hairpin, a mutton fat-wrapped flower jade ring, two pairs of blue gold double-ring jade bracelets, a pair of light blue jade belt silk-patterned shell earrings, a sleek cloud Baifu white jade pendant, and a white jade flower-wrapped green phoenix inlaid jade step.

Chu Jiayu's eyes widened. These were actually very good-looking, but the prices were not cheap.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Miss, such a good person. These are all goods that came back three days ago. You picked them up at a glance."

Chu Xinyu said: "I choose jewelry based on my first impression. I will not hesitate when I see you like it. You can calculate how much silver you have."

"Do you want to choose a box to hold it?" Seeing that she was so happy and had bought so many things, the shopkeeper recommended her to buy another box.

Zhu Bo next to him said, "Girl, your jewelry is almost impossible to fit, so you need to buy another bigger one."

Chu Xinyu said: "Okay, is there any good introduction?"

"Yes, there are just a few here for you to choose." The shopkeeper said, and ordered someone to get the jewelry box, which was soon brought up.

Chu Xinyu caught a rectangular jewelry box with three-story height at a glance. When he opened the box door, there were five drawers of different sizes and could put different jewelry inside. However, the patterns on the surface of this jewelry box were a bit terrifying. It was Zhong Kui who caught ghosts, and other small drawers were also engraved with patterns on the surfaces. These patterns were a bit terrifying. They were either catching ghosts or vampires. Unlike the ladies of the family who liked to use flowers as pictures.

If it weren't for this, the jewelry box might have been bought very early. Girls' families like to draw pictures with meaning, but the pattern of the jewelry box is like a curse and no one will buy it.

The shopkeeper thought Chu Xinyu looked down on him, and was about to take him away, but Chu Xinyu pointed at it and said he wanted this.

The shopkeeper was very happy. Some people actually liked the goods at the warehouse. Moreover, among the jewelry Chu Xinyu had just selected, some of them were also the goods at the warehouse. He deliberately mixed up with the newly purchased jewelry and took them out for her to see. Unexpectedly, this girl had such a "good" attitude and actually picked those pieces.

Since her vision was so special, the shopkeeper had someone take out some jewelry, and Chu Xinyu chose a few pieces and put them in the jewelry box. The shopkeeper secretly was happy.

The jewelry and jewelry box settled the accounts together, and it was actually 800 taels of silver, which scared Chu Jiayu.

Eight hundred taels?

She thought it was expensive for more than fifty taels of silver to buy jewelry, but there were at least a dozen pieces in the jewelry box, so it was actually not expensive if she calculated it.

But she couldn't get 800 taels of silver at once, but she saw Zhubo taking out two silver notes and giving them to the shopkeeper, one was three hundred taels and the other was five hundred taels, which was exactly eight hundred taels.

Seeing Chu Jiayu envious, the empress dowager rewarded the fifth sister with fifty taels of gold yesterday, what is 800 taels of silver? She couldn't envy these things, so she could only try to embroider more veils and sell them.

This girl is so generous. She must be a girl from a certain aristocratic family. She looks beautiful, but unfortunately her left foot is a little broken. Fortunately, the guy didn't look at people with a wink just now and kept the distinguished guests in time. This kind of distinguished guests is not available every day, especially two large jewelry stores, Yufang Pavilion and Liuli Pavilion, where the noble girls of those aristocratic families like to buy jewelry there.

"Girl, I have something for you to show. Maybe you are interested in it." The shopkeeper believed that taking out these things was probably more attractive than the one that attracted the girl just now.

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Chu Xinyu raised his eyebrows lightly, as if he was a little interested. Chu Jiayu pulled her sleeve again, "Sister, do you still want to buy it?"

She heard from the second sister that the fifth sister also bought a lot of jewelry in Yufang Pavilion two days ago, and now she has bought a lot of jewelry. Does the fifth sister have this kind of habit of buying jewelry?

If this is true, it would be fortunate that she married the Marquis of Peking. Otherwise, no matter how generous the dowry was, an ordinary family could afford her so much!

"It's okay to just look at it. If you like it, you want it. If you don't like it, you don't want it." Chu Xinyu knew that her behavior scared Chu Jiayu today. When she saw her flower hairpin, she was a little impulsive. If Jin Yutang really had Ah Niang's jewelry, she was afraid that she would be bought by someone one day late.

She thought Ah Niang's jewelry would be taken away by the robbers, so she had already taken it out, but she didn't expect that it would appear in Jinjing City four years later.

I wonder if she was asking for blessings from the Buddha in Puling Temple in the past two years, or if she had guidance from Ah Niang and her father, she asked her to find Ah Niang's jewelry shortly after returning to Beijing.

Among the dozen jewelry she chose just now, some of them were her mother's jewelry. She was afraid that the shopkeeper would be suspicious, so she chose a few more other things.

How could this shop have A Niang's jewelry? Maybe she secretly colluded with the robbers, so she not only chose A Niang's jewelry, but also chose others.

Not long after, the shopkeeper took out a gold-stained lotus box. Chu Xinyu wanted to open it and saw that it was a pair of heads and faces. The largest gems inlaid on the heads were as big as longans and as small as pearls. You could tell at a glance that they were of great value.

Chu Jiayu and Zhu Bo were stunned, and they were so beautiful. Chu Jiayu looked at Chu Xinyu nervously, "Sister, this is too expensive..." If there is no more than a thousand or hundreds of taels of silver, I'm afraid I can't buy it.

Zhu Bo nodded, afraid that Chu Xinyu would buy it, so he said, "Girl, although this looks good, it's a pity that it looks very expensive." She only carried a thousand taels of silver notes on her body, and just eight hundred taels of silver notes, but now she only has two hundred taels of silver notes on her body.

Chu Xinyu glanced at the head and a complicated look flashed through her eyes, but soon she disappeared, closed the box, and smiled and said to the shopkeeper: "This thing is too expensive, I'm afraid I can't afford it."

"Girl, this is sold by a friend from me, and the price is not too expensive." The shopkeeper looked at Chu Xinyu, then stretched out five fingers.

Chu Xinyu tentatively said: "Fifty taels?"

"The girl is really joking. If you go to Yufang Pavilion, you can't buy such jewelry without a thousand taels." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "You know, this is the treasure of our Jinyutang's store. If there are no five hundred taels, don't even want to take it away."

"Five hundred taels?" Chu Jiayu glared, and she shook Chu Xinyu's hand and said, "Fifth sister, this is too expensive, should we not want it?"

Chu Xinyu pressed her hand and signaled her to be calm. Then he looked at the shopkeeper and smiled faintly. Did he really think that he had never seen the world? Then he said, "Shopkeeper, although this jewelry is good, it looks like this style is the old style from a few years ago. If I spent 500 taels to buy such goods, I might as well buy some jewelry and ask some silversmiths to make some things for me. I believe that at that time, it will not only be more fashionable than these jewelry, but also will not cause any bad luck."

The shopkeeper didn't expect Chu Xinyu to say this, and his face froze for a moment, and he said, "Girl, where did this bad news come from?"

Chu Xinyu took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, and then slowly said, "If no one has customized jewelry like this, you Jinyutang will definitely not be made. I took a few glances and although it was 80% new, I could still see the traces of someone wearing it. The shopkeeper, the people from the wealthy family, never sell these things easily, unless they lack silver or have some changes, they have to sell these jewelry at a low price. You said, are you right?

The shopkeeper admired and said, "Miss, I have indeed seen the world. Since that's the case, I won't make money from the girl. How about taking this jewelry with 350 taels?"

"Girl!" Zhubo was afraid that Chu Xinyu would buy it, so he immediately pulled her clothes and shook his head at her.

Chu Xinyu blinked, what's wrong?

Zhu Bo patted his waist and signaled that there was not enough silver.

The shopkeeper glanced between the two of them and asked again: "Girl, three hundred and fifty taels, do you want it?"

"want!"

"don't want!"

Chu Xinyu and Zhu Bo spoke in unison.

Zhu Bo had no choice but to say, "But girl, we don't have enough money to give you. I still have two hundred taels of silver left here, and there is still one hundred and fifty taels left."

Chu Jiayu also thought that Chu Xinyu was too prodigal. Although her face looked very good, she said that most people would not sell such jewelry at a low price. Who knows if it would bring any bad luck?

"Fifth Sister, let's forget it." She also joined in to persuade.

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face immediately became dark. He thought he had met a rich girl. He spent so much time recommending her, but he didn't bring enough money.

Chu Xinyu was about to say something, but inadvertently raised her eyes and saw a guy outside leading a man in a dark brocade robe in. Seeing this man, she felt a "knock" in her heart and stared at him straight.

The man has handsome facial features and deep eyes like a vast star, but his face is a little pale and his lips are a little dry, which looks a little sick.

Chu Xinyu stared straight at him, and the other party also stared at her.

Daddy?

Chu Xinyu blinked, the other party was still there, she blinked again, he was still there, somehow, suddenly his nose was a little sore.

No, he is not my father, he is 80% similar to my father.

He is her brother, Fu Guanzhang!

Although this was the first time she saw him, she knew that he was her brother Fu Guanzhang, and his facial features looked very similar to that of his father!

Seeing that her relatives could not come forward to recognize each other, her heart was so sour, and her eyes were filled with tears. She tried to hold back and prevent them from falling, but she really had no choice. She wanted to blink them, but the more she blinked, the more they poured out.

Fu Guanzhang didn't know her, but he just felt that the girl in front of him was a little kind-looking, but why did she look at herself with such straight-eyed eyes? No, there were still tears in her eyes?

There are many girls who use this kind of girl to look at him in the capital, but I have never seen a girl cry when she sees herself. Yes, just as each other's eyes meet, her tears burst out.

Are you so excited to see him?

Who is this girl? She is so beautiful! Especially with tears in her eyes, she looks even more watery and charming. Of course, the most beautiful girl is not as beautiful as her sister, in his eyes.

The girl didn't hate her eyes when she looked at him, but why did she cry when she saw herself?

Chu Jiayu and Zhu Bo both saw Chu Xinyu's incompetence. Chu Jiayu couldn't help but look at the man more often, suddenly widened his eyes and remembered who this man was. He was Fu Guanzhang, the fifth son of Duke E's Mansion.

Oh, Sister Fifth, what are you doing? How do you see him crying?

Zhu Bo is also strange. The girl never sheds tears. How come she cry when she sees this young master?

"Girl..." Zhu Bo pushed her gently.

Chu Xinyu reacted. She didn't expect that she would lose her composure when she saw her brother suddenly. Anyway, she wouldn't do it anyway in the future. She immediately wiped away her tears, then smiled at him, and said, "Young Master Fu, can you borrow some money from you?"

-------------------

She saw her brother, but the heroine didn't cry, but she couldn't help but see him.
