Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

Chapter 43 Shame
In action, the waiter began to lead the two of them to the silver jewelry: "This way, please..."

Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin went over to take a look and saw that the jewelry placed here were all gilt or silver jewelry. They were not expensive and the styles were very simple.

Xiao Luoyi fell in love with a magnolia flower hairpin decorated with silver bells: "Take this and let me have a look..."

The guy took a look and said, hey, he is quite discerning. She fell in love with this most expensive piece of silver jewelry.

While taking it out, the clerk explained: "Sir, this magnolia flower walking wave is made of pure silver, and the top of the silver bell is high-quality white jade. The workmanship is exquisite, and the price is not cheap..."

Xiao Luoyi didn't seem to hear and asked Chen Huaijin to help her put the hairpin on her hair.

Chen Huaijin followed her guidance and helped her style her hair.

After the hairpin was done, Xiao Luoyi asked in a cheerful tone: "Does it look good?"

As Xiao Luoyi turned around, the silver bell swayed and made a faint ringing sound, swaying by her ears, making Chen Huaijin dizzy.

"Good-looking." Chen Huaijin responded solemnly.

"Sir, please be careful, if this thing is broken..." the clerk reminded anxiously.

"How much?" Chen Huaijin interrupted the waiter's thoughts.

Guy: "...Three taels of silver." The most you can lose is two hundred cents!
Chen Huaijin took out three taels of silver from his pocket and gave it to the clerk without saying a word.

Guy: "..." Hey!Not counter-offer? !
What a generous person.

Xiao Luoyi bought a hairpin and turned to the jade seller.

Looking at the white jade hairpins and earrings over there, Xiao Luoyi thought of the white jade earrings he found in the sweet potato field.

It doesn’t look much different from the Ping An clasp earrings here…

Xiao Luoyi pointed to the most similar one and asked, "How much does this cost?"

The boy was already enthusiastic now: "Madam, this is cheap, only one tael of silver..."

It's only one tael of silver...it's really cheap.

The local tycoon Xiao Luoyi naturally looked down upon it, but he looked at it carefully and took out the earring from his sleeve (space) for comparison.

The clerk suddenly realized: I have lost an earring and I can’t bear to throw it away. I want to get a matching one?

In small households, this situation is not uncommon.

So the guy came over enthusiastically to help with the comparison.

These earrings look plain, but the thickness, color, and size of the safety buckles are different, and the ear hooks on them are also different.

After comparing them again and again, I didn't find anything the same.

The clerk also regretted: Could this business be done?

So the clerk made a last-ditch effort: "Guest, the quality of the earrings I have here is no worse than the one you have. It would be more cost-effective for you to buy a new pair."

How could Xiao Luoyi be reluctant to part with these earrings?

She was just sorry: "What a pity..." The clue was gone.

The clerk added: "Your ear hook is inlaid with a millet bead. This is a technique commonly used in Chang'an City a few years ago. This technique of earrings is usually only used on more expensive jewelry. These ordinary white jade earrings are my first time seeing them."

Xiao Luoyi raised his eyebrows: "You mean, these white jade earrings should have been sold by a jewelry shop in Chang'an City?"

The waiter nodded affirmatively: "That should be the case. In ordinary places, whose coarse cloth clothes are decorated with golden phoenixes? Only the shops in Chang'an City can do such a thing." These are all big shops in order to train apprentices and let the apprentices use Cheap jewelry for practice.These words made Xiao Luoyi laugh: "Sure, I know...I'll look at something else."

"Man, man...are you blind? You don't greet guests like my lady, but you go to greet that poor guy?" A sharp female voice sounded, and the man, Xiao Luoyi, Chen Huaijin and his wife both turned their heads and looked over.

The speaker was a maid of fifteen or sixteen years old, and standing next to her was a young woman with a delicate appearance and beautifully dressed.

Although the young woman said nothing and even smiled, her arrogant attitude clearly explained the arrogance and disdain in her heart.

Xiao Luoyi laughed, feeling ashamed to argue with such a woman.

She grabbed her husband's sleeve and said in a soft voice, "Sister-in-law, let's go."

When he walked to the young woman, Xiao Luoyi reminded her again in a soft voice: "Miss, please excuse me, you are blocking the door."

Xiao Luoyi's attitude made the master and servant feel depressed as if they were pretending but being ignored, and the young woman frowned slightly.

But the maid was already furious: "How presumptuous! Asking our young lady to surrender to you? Who do you think you are?"

Xiao Luoyi was neither anxious nor annoyed, and looked at the maid as if he was surprised: "You mean, your lady is the emperor? Is she a princess and queen? Everyone should avoid it when they see her?"

Don't dare to say this nonsense. The maid turned pale with fright: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say that?"

"Didn't you just say that your lady is blocking the way of ordinary people, and ordinary people are not qualified to ask your lady to get out of the way? Apart from royal nobles, who else has such pomp and qualifications?"

Maid: "You...you are talking nonsense! Our young lady is from the prefect's family..."

"Qingyun!" Peng Jiayu finally spoke, frowned and stopped the maid, and at the same time got out of the way.

Peng Jiayu's eyes moved across Xiao Luoyi's face, and she was slightly surprised: This woman is so beautiful!

When I looked at Chen Huaijin's appearance, I was surprised again: her husband-in-law was also very handsome...

It's a pity that their background determines that they can only live in rural families. What's the use of looking good?

A look of contempt flashed past, but Peng Jiayu said nothing.

Xiao Luoyi pursed his lips and smiled, pulling Chen Huaijin out of Jinyu Tower.

Behind him, the maidservant was still chattering: "Miss, you are the second young lady of the prefect's family. They are so presumptuous, why don't you let me reprimand them..."

"What's the point of arguing with an ignorant woman like that from the countryside? If you win, you'll lose your face." Peng Jiayu spoke softly, her words full of a sense of superiority.

The corner of Xiao Luoyi's mouth curled up slightly: "Miss, I have the same idea as you!"
Chen Huaijin heard this with a heavy look in his eyes: It turns out he is the daughter of the prefect's family... No wonder he is so arrogant.

The couple walked slowly to the carriage house. When they passed the clothing store, Chen Huaijin grabbed Xiao Luoyi and said, "Shall we buy some more clothes?"

Xiao Luoyi glanced at Chen Huaijin: "Didn't we just buy it a few days ago? Why do we need to buy it again?"

Chen Huaijin lowered his eyes: "My wife is so good and deserves the best clothes in the world. How can she be looked down upon because of her simple clothes?"

These words made Xiao Luoyi's heart warm. She smiled and said in a soft voice, "I listen to my husband."

The couple went into the clothing store and bought one each of the princess-colored and light green satin skirts. Xiao Luoyi also bought a scarlet-colored dress with narrow sleeves.

It is inconvenient to wear a wide robe with large sleeves when performing rituals outside, so narrow sleeves are more practical.

Xiao Luoyi had gained a lot, and Chen Huaijin was very satisfied. As soon as the couple left the clothing store, they heard a familiar scream: "You little bastard, you dare to steal on my young lady's head! You don't want your life." ?!”

Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin turned around and looked over. The one who screamed was the maid named Qingyun, and standing next to her was the second young lady of the prefect's family.
