Chapter 373

Then, Prince Pan, who was originally content with a complacent look, stopped the move that was about to turn around, and the smile on his face disappeared.

Then, he rejected Qi Mubai's question and couldn't wait to ask for a pack, as if he was afraid of someone robbing him.

"It's really a bit..." Xiao Feng touched his nose and murmured to himself, "I'm not polite!"

However, why did this Qi Mubai give him a feeling of déjà? It was the first time I saw him, and only half of his face was revealed, and... well, I couldn't tell any familiar characteristics. Last time I thought that Zhuoma next to Princess Xiya was familiar with him, at least there was another factor, that is, I felt that there had been somewhere to see that mole, right? There was a conspicuous black mole on the position under his lips. He really felt that he had seen it before, although he hadn't remembered it yet.

But Qi Mubai, he really couldn't tell why he felt familiar.

Is it really like the so-called divine friendship that has been so strange?

In any case, Qi Mubai's reputation as "handsome and elegant, with a cold temperament" is not false, and it meets his expectations. His clothes are indeed elegant and unique. The originally simple sky blue brocade robe became vivid because of the unique silver collar and was no longer ordinary. The cuffs and hem were embroidered with silver threads with half-palm-wide snowflake decorative patterns, which corresponded to the collar, adding a bit of nobleness.

Well, now he officially starts looking forward to the opening of branches in the capital and Luocheng early.

What Xiao Feng didn't know was that "Qi Mubai" was also stunned at this moment. It was not because of Pan Jiaming's actions, but because of his voice. Why was he so familiar? He is an acquaintance?

Zhiruo's memory and recognition ability of sounds has never been compared to it. As long as it is a sound she has heard, even if it is only once, she can usually remember it when she hears it next time.

Oh, if she was not mistaken, wasn’t this Pan Jiaming’s voice? Seeing Xiao Feng who had turned around and looked at her again, Zhiruo was determined with great emotion that the petty, arrogant and rude guy in front was undoubtedly Pan Jiaming.

It's not surprising that they will meet in Changyang City. However, it's fine if these two big men came to the decoration shop. Just look at the jade pendant, crown, etc., but they just like the same jade hairpin as her. It's so annoying! She really wants to take a look at the snow lotus jade hairpin that stuns her. This is the first time she fell in love with a decoration at first sight.

By the way, although Pan Jiaming is notorious for the Three Ba ​​Zhi, she has never had such a arrogant attitude in her eyes before. Moreover, hasn't he been close to women so far, and has never heard of him having been engaged or something. Why did he suddenly come to buy a hairpin for women and look so seriously? Could it be that he started to save the dowry for Xiao Ling'er, right?

When the shopkeeper heard Prince Pan say "pack it up", he naturally responded repeatedly. Not to mention that the British Duke's Mansion would not owe them money for hairpins. Even if Prince Pan didn't bring enough money, wouldn't there be a prefect who helped pay? The person who was sent by the magistrate Wang to explain to them was only less than two quarters of an hour.

"Okay, young master, don't worry, we have a special cotton-padded brocade box to ensure that your hairpin will not be lost." The shopkeeper quickly took out the packaging box and carefully installed the hairpin, and replied with a bright smile, "The original price is 20,000 taels of silver. This is the first time I'll give you a discount of only 18,000 taels. Do you think you should pay the cash or... keep the account first?"

This price is almost 200 taels lower than the minimum price he can give to his authority. However, he believed that if the boss knew about it, he would only praise him for his cleverness. If Prince Pan bought this hairpin for the Queen, wouldn’t it add a good reputation to their Zhenyu Pavilion? Everyone knows that Prince Pan has no women around him yet. Even if there is a beautiful maid, the dewy love that is posted on it, there is no need to pay such a lot of money, right?

Even if it is not given to the Empress, it will make Prince Pan happy and satisfied. They will not lose the difference between these 200 taels, right? Isn’t it that the governor is looking forward to paying for Prince Pan?

"Record the book?" Pan Jiaming frowned, "You said that it was my first time here. How dare I let me keep the book with such a large amount of money? No need, I never pay credit for buying things. Four items, give the shopkeeper three hundred taels more to ask the shopkeeper for tea." He knew without asking, the shopkeeper must have known his identity, and perhaps someone made a promise in advance, so he was not afraid of not being able to receive the money. Since he came out to do the job, he has seen many tricks.

However, he would collect the things he wanted to buy in the shop, but he would never pay the money directly without leaving any quarrel to those people.

Besides, Qi Mubai is behind him, how can he be underestimated? I am not short of only one or two thousand.

After paying the money, the dust settled. Pan Jiaming turned around with an indifferent look. He wanted to see how beautiful Qi Mubai was.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around and met "Qi Mubai", he was completely dissatisfied and stunned on the spot. Qi Mubai and Miss Yin were both very similar to Miss Yin, to be precise, they looked so similar to men's clothing! The main thing is that they have a similar temperament, and they all have a kind of elegant and noble charm like orchids and bamboos. This made Pan Jiaming involuntarily think of Xiao Feng's "Golden Boy and Jade Girl", and his heart was so sour and his brows were furrowed.

Although he was extremely reluctant to admit it, he couldn't help thinking that if he was Miss Yin, two men like him and Qi Mubai would stand in front of him, his vision would definitely be frozen on Qi Mubai. He really regretted that he had been playing a gangster and playboy for too many years, so that his whole temperament was gangster and made people sure that he was a playboy at first sight.

If Zhiruo knew that he was so self-deprecating, he would definitely curl his lips and said, "I am so self-aware! I knew at first sight that I was a black-bellied sesame bag pretending to be a playboy."

Zhiruo was a little strange. Why did this guy look at her with a jealous look on his face? When did "Qi Mubai" offend him? Just for a hairpin? He has already bought it, right? As for?

She was originally thinking about whether to discuss with Pan Jiaming to buy the hairpin from him for 20,000 taels of silver, but now she had a premonition that it seemed that there was no need. From Pan Jiaming's eyes, she really saw a sense of alertness and unfriendliness...

"Young Master Qi," at the shopkeeper's instructions, a guy who was standing next to the shopkeeper helped quickly came forward to greet him, "In addition to the Tianshan Yuxue, there are a few new treasures in our store. You may as well see if there are any one that matches your eyes."

"Qi Mubai" has a very friendly attitude: "Thank you, I came to Zhenyu Pavilion to find it, of course, because I wanted to have a good look." Pan Jiaming was not short of money, but he was so inexplicably disliked "Qi Mubai". Even if she was willing to add some money, she would probably not be able to reach an agreement. Why should she be humiliated? Forget it, people are meant to pay attention to fate. It seems that the jade hairpin is destined to be with her.

The Zhenyu Pavilion is indeed good and has a wide variety. In addition to the two Yaxiu Pavilions before her mother, Princess Qianxin, this is probably the most popular decoration shop in ancient times. However, the Yaxiu Pavilion is mainly decorated with gold, silver or gold, silver and jewelry, while the Zhenyu Pavilion is mainly decorated with jade ornaments.

Although he never encountered a treasure that attracted her attention in an instant like Tianshan Yuxue, Zhiruo still chose several things for his younger brothers and sisters. One of the pair of jade pendants carved with a kiri and a lint was also a valuable item taken out by the shopkeeper not long ago with Tianshan Yuxue. Not only did he sell it, but he had a pair of 23,000 taels of silver.

The guy's eyes were almost straightened, and he looked excited. He was so kind of a big customer! The bonus he would receive today was probably more than a month on weekdays.

The shopkeeper who was accompanying Pan Jiaming and the other two to continue shopping in the shop was so excited that he secretly looked over from time to time. What is a good day today? There are more than one real distinguished guests. Is this called "good things come in pairs"? No, noble people come in pairs.

Pan Jiaming looked at various kinds of decorations that were dazzling on the surface, but secretly kept paying attention to "Qi Mubai". Could it be that this person has never entered the decoration shop, or where can he get a kiss? He really knows how to buy, for men, women, and children.

Not to mention, because she had a decoration shop before, she was one of the best in the capital, Zhiruo had never visited other decoration shops. After living in Meizhuang with her younger brothers and sisters, although the original decorations and accessories of several younger brothers and sisters were confiscated, she did not help to dress up too gorgeously because she was not suitable for her filial piety period. She just found some suitable ones from her dowry, and occasionally bought a few when she went shopping in the village. Later, she started preparing the silver house and made a few simple ones for her four younger brothers and sisters when designing the samples.

Therefore, since I met this jade pavilion that suits her aesthetic view today, jade ornaments are a kind of precious jewelry that emphasizes quality, craftsmanship, taste, and is not easy to get outdated and has collection value. As long as it is not red jade, it is also suitable for wearing during the filial piety period, she naturally has to choose a few more.

Well, including the two righteous brothers, Ruchun, Rudong, Qi Bo, Qiang Bo, and Don't forget them, she has to choose some jade ornaments that suit their identities and temperament as souvenirs? She has few opportunities to travel far away, even the simplest jade ring and jade buttons costing tens of thousands of silver is still a matter of intention? The main reason is that the things in Zhenyu Pavilion are really worth the money and worth her to be a shopping carer.

Furthermore, if you buy too much, the shopkeeper always has to give you a good discount, right? Ancient merchants were very particular, and the discounts were real, which was also a marketing method, because they did not have as many advertising channels as in later generations.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper held the abacus with a blush and waved his hand very readily: "It's 35,800 taels in total. Mr. Qi's first visit, and he made such a big deal. Our Zhenyu Pavilion must also express his sincerity to such a big customer. Let's do this, if you wipe it off, it's 35,000 taels.

In addition, we have just sorted out some jade bracelets, jade buckles, jade beads and so on in our shop. The young master will definitely not look down on it. However, rewarding the servants or some distant neighbors is extremely decent. Why would you, the maid, please pick eight pieces? It is considered to be from our Zhenyu Pavilion." He thought the same as Pan Jiaming thought that "Qi Mubai" should buy such things to get married, visit relatives, etc., and then he thought of those slight defective items.

The shopkeeper did not fool people, and those things were all items sold in the store. Zhenyu Pavilion often inspects the goods, and there are defects, slight losses, etc., and they will pick them out and gather them together for additional food. Of course, the price is much cheaper, so they will almost sell them out every time they are put out. Some of the houses have low status and poor economic conditions, and they will also send their mothers and maids to ask when new slight defects will be sold.

Zhiruo was not pretentious, and after saying thanks, he asked Luoshuang to choose. In the past, Yaxiu Pavilion also had this routine, but Princess Qianxin often brought it back and used it for rewards in the mansion, especially the batch that was sorted out at the end of the year.

For some reason, the longer Pan Jiaming paid attention to "Qi Mubai", the more he felt that his temperament was compatible with Miss Yin, and then the more uncomfortable he felt. However, "Qi Mubai" was also a arrogant person. He liked Tianshan Xueyu so much and did not try to beg him. This made him have no excuse to vent his depression in his chest and his face became darker. Finally, he hummed and waved his sleeves away, causing the shopkeeper to sit there for a long time, but he didn't understand when he had offended Prince Pan. Could it be that he didn't have the flawed products for the reward to Prince Pan?

Xiao Feng comforted the shopkeeper and used his eyes to calm down, then bowed to "Qi Mubai" and hurriedly chased Pan Jiaming. He was so regretful now that he was so naive, why did he make such a joke with Pan Jiaming? However, he really didn't expect when this kid became so naive and petty, and it was unreasonable. Could it be that as the book said, admiring someone would make people lose their minds? It was just that he said a joke. Pan Jiaming looked at Qi Mubai, who should have been very close to him, and if other men approached Miss Yin in the future, or even asked to marry Miss Yin, wouldn't he have a murderous intention?

Zhiruo rolled his eyes inexplicably. When she arrived at the Qi family base in the South China Sea, she must ask Uncle Tong or Brother Cunyi, whether those Qi Mubai's substitutes had offended Pan Jiaming or the British Duke's Mansion, and even made him truly become an unreliable scoundrel.

After the inexplicably irritable Pan Jiaming rushed out of Zhenyu Pavilion, he still moved forward with a dark face, almost knocking a hunched old lady in gray to the ground, and quickly helped her. The old lady hugged his arm and stood firmly, then she hunched out of gratitude, then walked tremblingly, and took two steps and suddenly looked back at Pan Jiaming.
