Chapter 46 Buy Jewelry

After returning to the capital, he returned the horse to the horse shop. After recovering the deposit, Xu Qi'an walked out of the shop door and said:

Let’s go back first if I bid farewell to the old days, I still have something to do.

Xu Xinnian nodded, without asking any more questions, and left home alone along the long street.

Xu Qi'an bought a piece of osmanthus cake on the street and ate it while walking. Soon after, he arrived at a jewelry store:

Baoqian!

The boss of Baoqixuan is a scholar. In fact, scholars do business very common, especially those rich and noble families. Just by collecting land rent, they cannot support the decay of a large family's living expenses.

There are aristocrats behind the big shops, brothels and other money-making industries in the capital.

Dafeng's business is obviously unprecedentedly developed, but the heavy taxes are on the farmers... I have reason to suspect that this is the aristocrats who are doing things.

How much money can you produce when farming? If you want to be rich, you must get wool from the businessman.

If you want to make the people live a better life and make the Dafeng treasury richer, you must reform it, but the magnificent officials in the court are not the turn of me, a small clerk.Well, set a small goal and train Erlang to become the chief assistant of Dafeng first...

Thinking of the arrogant little brother's appearance in the future, Xu Qi'an's mouth couldn't help but tilt.

Xu Qi'an stepped into the shop, his eyes flashed across the counter, and pieces of jewelry placed on red silk came into his eyes.

Hair hairpin, jean, hairpin, hairpin, tread, Huasheng... are dazzling.

Among them, gold is the most expensive. The quality of jade depends on the type. The expensive ones are better than gold, and the cheapest ones are similar to silver.

Xu Qian touched the three cents of silver in his pocket and muttered to himself that he could not buy any precious jewelry at all.

He was feeling a shortage of money, and he stepped on a hard lump under his feet. He picked it up naturally, putting his face in his pocket without changing his expression.

Maybe it was too natural, so no one paid attention to him.

A qian of silver has no eggs, but a qian of gold is almost the same.

He felt like he was shopping in a luxury store in his previous life. He couldn't afford it anyway. The only difference is that the store now is very reserved, not as annoying as the waiters in his previous life. He wished he could stick to you and let you consume immediately.

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

The store owner is an old man with a goatee, dressed in a scholarly manner, and was not surprised to hear this.

The store owner pointed to the sign hanging on the wall and said with a smile: Objectively, if you can solve the riddle, the things in the store can be half of you.

This rule is the characteristic of Baoqixuan.

The riddle was half discounted... Interesting... Xu Qi'an walked to the wooden sign and glanced at the riddle: The clouds broke through the moon and the moon came to make the flowers look like shadows!

With his abundant knowledge reserves and logical reasoning skills, he quickly solved riddles.

Some jewelry weighs a few dollars, plus labor costs...

Xu Qian estimated it and found that even if he had a half discount, he still couldn't afford to buy very good jewelry.

But he soon had a solution.

The woman who can come to Baoqixuan to buy jewelry has a very wealthy family and has been studying for a few years, at least she is not an illiterate woman.

Such women have a problem: half a bucket of water jingles.

I feel that I am a cultural person and like arts and elegance, so I am particularly addicted to Baoqixuan's tricks.

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

If you solve the puzzle, the store will engrave the correct puzzle under the wooden sign and then give it to the guests with jewelry.

It would be fine if it wasn't solved. Once they solved one or two riddles for them, they could brag about it with their close friends.

This is the shop routine that Xu Qian analyzed after listening to the talk of two young women next to him.

It is worthy of being a shop run by a scholar, and he knows how to attract high-end customers.

Sister Yu, I can’t solve any riddles here, it’s so difficult.

What my sister said is that the store owner is a scholar with fame, so the questions he has been asked are naturally difficult, and even scholars may not be able to solve them.

Sister Yu, my husband said the same thing. If I can solve the riddle and take away the wooden sign, I will definitely make my husband look at him with admiration.

It's a dream.

Oh, you hate it...

The two good wives looked at Mu Zai for a long time, muttering and muttering.

They are dressed in exquisite clothes. I think their family background is excellent and they have received some education, otherwise they would not have tried to solve puzzles.

Two ladies.

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

The two beautiful little ladies turned their heads alertly. After seeing Xu Qi'an with a handsome face and a high figure, their vigilance was slightly lowered, but they didn't say anything.

The atmosphere of the Dafeng Dynasty was relatively free, but chatting with strange men on the street was still very rude.

Xu Qi'an didn't care and expressed his thoughts straight to the point: I can solve the riddles for the two ladies, but the two ladies scored half of the money they saved, and I saved five cents of money. You scored two and a half cents of money.Save four cents of money, you will get two cents of me.

Hearing Xu Qi'an's proposal, the store owner looked up in surprise, looked at him seriously for a moment, sneered, and ignored him.

Although this man was wearing a scholar's robe, as long as he carefully observed his physique and skin color, he would know that he was a person who hit the fat man in the face.

Which scholars have you seen in which they are as strong as cows and have wheat-colored skin?

The Confucian shirt doesn't fit at all.

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

The older ones are more dignified and reserved, and more cautious and alienated, and said lightly: Young Master is self-contained. If he really solves the riddle, I will not be able to blame him.

Very strong sense of distance.

Two ladies choose one.Xu Qi'an said with a smile.

The older woman was a little hesitant, and was eager to try it out. Seeing that her sister around her did not object, she pointed to one of the wooden signs: The clouds and the moon came to the flowers to make shadows.

The voice is soft and moist.

Xu Qi'an immediately said: "The capable one is capable" who works harder.

The two young ladies subconsciously turned their heads to look at the store, and the store's dumbfounded expressions explained everything.

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

After she put away the wooden sign, her eyes turned, her tone became familiar, and she said: Can the young master continue to solve the riddles for my slave?

Lian'er... A woman called Sister Yu pulled her sleeve.

Sister Yu, we came together. I have it, but you don’t have it. That’s not good.After saying that, the good family called Lian'er, looked at Xu Qi'an expectantly.

I can't ask for anything... Xu Qi'an showed a warm smile: No problem, my wife chooses another one.

Peacock flies southeast.She pointed to a wooden sign.

Sun!Xu Qi'an.

... The store owner was stunned.

Thank you, Master...

The two little ladies picked out their favorite jewelry and left the shop with satisfaction.

Xu Qi'an had amazing ears and heard the woman named Lian'er say: This young man is so talented, tall and handsome, much stronger than my husband.

Don't talk nonsense.The older woman scolded.

She seemed afraid that Xu Qi'an would hear it, so she came forward to entangle and pulled Lian'er and left quickly.
