Chapter 206 What? Want to be a hero and save the beauty?
"Look, you chose four sets of headgear. Each set includes a pair of bracelets, a ring, a gold hairpin, and a pair of earrings. They are all here. Please take a look!"
Jiang Youzhen looked at a row of open jewelry boxes on the table. They were all gold jewelry inlaid with pearls. The patterns were unique and many of them had hollow filigree designs. They were very delicate.
I picked up a filigree gold bracelet, with two rows of small but round beads on the edge. The white pearl in the middle was very bright and had a warm color, which looked very luxurious.
"Good! Baohuazhai is indeed a leading silver shop, and the craftsmanship is impeccable." Jiang Youzhen took a quick look and had to say that the ancient craftsmanship was actually quite good.
"That's right! If you want to praise me like that, then I won't be modest. Our Baohuazhai is also well-known in the capital. We have exquisite craftsmanship and fair prices. Otherwise, we wouldn't have become a century-old brand!"
"How much silver?" Jiang Youzhen counted. They were all inlaid with gold and rice-grain beads. Some hairpins were also inlaid with jade and rubies. They must be not cheap.
"Our boss said that we don't want any money for your craftsmanship, but as you know, a lot of inlaid jewelry was used to make these, so you should give us one hundred and twenty taels in total."
So cheap? Jiang Youzhen was very surprised. Not to mention that these were gold jewelry, the gemstones and jade inlaid inside must be worth a lot of silver, right?
"Actually, that's not necessary! You should just keep the price. Favors are favors, and business is business." Jiang Youzhen didn't want to owe such a big favor for no reason.
"You may not know that our boss does not intend to make money from you for these inlaid jewels. However, these gemstones and jades are not rare, so you can accept them with peace of mind and don't mind!"
The shopkeeper said that he had asked his staff to pack a gift box. Jiang Youzhen thought about it and realized that it was indeed not a very expensive item.
"Then I will accept your employer's favor."
"If you have any good things in the future, please send them to our Baohuazhai. Even if our boss is not here, I can still make the decision, don't worry!"
"Sure! Sure!" Jiang Youzhen exchanged a few words with the shopkeeper and left Baohuazhai.
It was indeed a bargain, buying so much for 120 taels. But Jiang Youzhen had also made a lot of concessions on ebony before, so if he bought so much ebony for 100,000 taels, he could make at least 50,000 taels if he used it well.
After Jiang Youzhen took the gift box and got on the carriage, he moved all the jewelry inside into the storage space. Gao Shuisheng drove the carriage to the west of the city. It must be said that the city is very big. When he arrived at the west of the city, a quarter of an hour had passed.
Speaking of time, Jiang Youzhen began to miss the clocks in his previous life. Without clocks, time could only be estimated, and it was inconvenient to carry an hourglass with him.
"Who took your silver? We have our own silver, how could we possibly take yours?" Suddenly an angry voice came. Jiang Youzhen frowned slightly. Isn't this the voice of the fourth sister?
"Girl! You are being unreasonable, aren't you? Just now, the girl next to you touched me and my wallet was gone. Who else could it be if not you? You are in the same group."
A fat man with big ears was wearing silk and satin, but the silk and satin clothes were very tight on him. He also had a very wretched face, and his eyes kept rolling around, glancing at San Ya and Si Ya from time to time.
Jiang Youzhen's face darkened, and then he lowered the car curtain.
"Shuisheng, drive the carriage to the front where the carriages are parked. I'll get off first."
"I've already said that we didn't take your silver. We have our own money and we don't want to take it. Do you want two taels of silver for your clothes?" Si Ya's temper flared up. Doesn't this person understand what she's saying? They were dressed well anyway, so how could they tell that he was a thief?
"Brother, are you mistaken? We are here to buy things in West City. It is impossible for us to steal your money."
Zhao Wei stepped forward. In fact, he had already seen that the man had bad intentions. However, both of his two sisters-in-law were wearing veils, which made them attractive to the man.
"You are in the same group with them, right? I don't believe it unless you search me." The man's obscene face made people feel very uncomfortable.
Jiang Fugui and Shen immediately stood in front of the two girls. If they still didn't understand why this man did this, they would have grown up in vain.
"Sir, we came to the city to restock the supplies. It is impossible for us to steal your silver. You'd better send someone to look for him quickly. Maybe the thief hasn't gone far." Jiang Fugui stood in front of the two daughters. At this time, Si Ya also understood and hid behind her father.
San Ya stepped forward and held Si Ya's hand, then leaned against her with a trembling body.
"You say you didn't steal, so you didn't steal? Who are you trying to fool? Do you know who I am? I'll arrest you and take you to see the authorities right now." The man knocked the handle of the fan in his hand against his palm, with a determined smile on his face.
He was not stupid. Although these people were well dressed, they looked unconfident. Moreover, the couple looked unfamiliar and it was obvious that they were not from the capital.
"Oh! What a sin! This girl is going to be unlucky again."
"Who is this guy? He looks so arrogant! I don't think these guys are thieves!"
"Who else could it be? A well-known bully in the city, relying on his family background to do whatever he wants..."
"Ouch! Are you trying to kill yourself? Stop talking, we can't do anything about it, let's go!"
Everyone was talking about it, but no one dared to speak a fair word. Even though everyone knew that this person was just looking for trouble, they could only let it go.
"You go and invite them to the government office." The man was very proud. Whether they go to the government office or not, isn't it him who has the final say?
Several servants behind him immediately rushed forward and reached out to grab San Ya and Si Ya.
"How dare you?" Suddenly a loud shout was heard. Everyone was shocked and turned to look.
Suddenly, a path was made in the crowd, and a young man in luxurious clothes came out. She walked in front of the group of people, stood with her hands behind her back, and although her pretty face was a bit childish, she was majestic without being angry.
"Zhou Shi! Don't think that your Zhou family can do whatever they want in the capital city!" Jiang Youzhen's face was as cold as ice. Although she was thin, at this moment she was like a sharp arrow out of its sheath, with its edge fully exposed.
Zhou Shi took a look at Jiang Youzhen. He looked unfamiliar and he didn’t recognize him!
"Who are you? What's the matter? Do you want to be a hero and save the beauty?" Zhou Shi saw that the young man had an extraordinary demeanor and estimated that he was from an important family, but he still insisted.
"Don't think that Second Master doesn't know what your Zhou family did in the city. Humph! This time when I go back, I will definitely report the truth to Second Master. Your Zhou family has been ruining his reputation everywhere in the city."
"You! Who are you?" Zhou Shi began to panic. Could this person be someone close to the Second Prince? The Second Prince often went out of the capital to do business, and everyone around him called him Second Master.
I had the honor of meeting him once when my father hosted a banquet for the Second Master last time.
