Chapter 250 Buying a Bracelet

Erni also said, "Yes, you'd better not sell it. Selling hairbands is not like being a doctor, you can stay in the clinic all the time, you walk around the streets and meet all kinds of people. No matter what, you are still a girl, don't ruin your reputation for such a small amount of money."

The girls naturally understood Erni's euphemism. They were girls, and walking around the streets would affect their reputation, which would be difficult for them to talk to their in-laws about in the future. So they all tried to persuade Luo Yanxing.

Luo Yanxing was very nervous. She looked at Song Ying, thinking of how Song Ying had changed since she came to the city. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, you don't have to persuade me. I've made up my mind. I'm going to sell the hairband!"

After making the decision, she felt at ease and began to think on the way to the silver shop.

"Song Ying, which type of hairbands do you think sell best?" she asked.

Song Ying shook her head. "How would I know? I only bought a pair of hairpins for my birthday last year."

Luo Yanxing thought for a moment and then asked, "Which type of hairband is most commonly used by patients visiting your clinic?"

"Master is not good at treating children's diseases. Most of the people who come to our clinic for treatment are adults. They don't care about the style of the hairband for them at all. Many of them just tie it with rags."

After a pause, Song Ying continued, "Usually only little girls and young women care about the style of hair ties and will buy hair ties made of higher quality materials. Your hair ties should mainly be sold to them. Try selling some this afternoon."

No matter how anxious he was, Luo Yanxing had to hold himself back and go to the silver shop to buy the jewelry first.

After walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at their destination - Yulingxuan.

Looking at the three glittering words "Yulingxuan" above the gate, and then looking at the bright and lively inside, it seems as if the dim winter sky cannot suppress the brilliance of the gold, silver and jade inside.

The girls stopped unconsciously, and Erni asked timidly, "Song Ying, have you been to this silver shop?"

Song Ying shook his head. "No, my senior brother said that this is the silver shop with the most complete styles in Qingshui County, except for Jin Man Lou. The shopkeeper is also honest and the items are all heavy enough."

Hearing her say this, Erni became even more nervous, "Why don't we go to the old silver shop on West Street? I've been there once before with my parents."

Song Ying was well aware of her timidity because she had been like this before.

When I went to such a magnificent place, looked at the tattered clothes I was wearing, and thought about how little money I had, I couldn't help but feel ashamed. I was afraid of being kicked out, and also afraid of accidentally dirtying or breaking things and not being able to pay for the compensation.

The strange thing is that, although the clothes she wore now were not very good and she did not have much money on her, she did not have that feeling when she went to these beautifully decorated shops.

Maybe it’s because I know that I’m getting better little by little, and that things that I can’t afford now, I will be able to afford in the future.

She smiled at Erni and said softly, "Let's do it here. Sister Xiaocui is getting married this time. This is the happiest thing in her life. As for the jewelry to go with her makeup, we should choose the styles carefully. The ones in the old silver shop are all very simple and ugly."

Erni looked inside and was still hesitant: "But..."

Song Ying added: "Don't worry, we still have 1800 coins left, enough money."

Having said that, Song Ying stepped into the store first, and the others had no choice but to follow her in.

Fortunately, the waiter did not give them a hard time, but greeted them with a smile: "Sir, what would you like to buy?"

"We want to buy silver bracelets, do you have any recommendations?"

"Yes! You have come to the right place to buy bracelets, Yulingxuan. The jewelry we have is the most fashionable. Even Jinmanlou in East Street doesn't have as many styles as our store."

He turned around and took out a large square wooden box from the cabinet at the back. When he opened it, he saw many silver bracelets neatly arranged inside.

Since they were just a few young girls, the waiter was not worried that they would suddenly snatch them away. He placed them on the counter and introduced them enthusiastically: "These are the most fashionable styles at the moment. The ladies of wealthy families love them the most!"

Song Ying blinked and asked in confusion, "The ladies of rich families also come to your store to buy things? Don't they go to Jin Man Lou?"

East Street is where the rich people of Qingshui County live. Jin Manlou is also on East Street, which is close and convenient. Moreover, Jin Manlou is the largest and most prestigious jewelry store in Qingshui County. Why do those ladies come all the way to Yulingxuan on North Street to buy their jewelry?

She lowered her eyes to look at the bracelets in the wooden box and was very skeptical about what the waiter said. With just these styles, were they worth the ladies from wealthy families coming all the way here?

The waiter didn't expect that his usual boasting would be picked out as contradictory. He was stunned for a moment before he said tactfully, "Our store is on North Street. Just around the corner is Jiahu Academy. The young masters of the academy often come to our store to buy jewelry for their mothers and sisters."

Song Ying looked outside, but found that she didn't remember the way to Jiahu Academy.

She had only been to Jiahu Academy once, and she asked for directions as she walked. At the time, her mind was focused on finding her way and she was also worried about the fugitive, so she had no time to pay attention to the shops along the way.

However, she admired the cleverness of the shopkeeper of Yulingxuan. Since he couldn't sell the jewelry to the ladies, he sold it to their sons and brothers, and sold it to them in disguise.

Even if the styles of the jewelry given by their sons and brothers are not to the ladies' liking, they are still good in their eyes and they will basically not return or exchange them if they are not satisfied.

She lowered her eyes, carefully searching for nice bracelets, and asked, "How much are these bracelets for?"

Returning to the familiar conversation scene of the waiter, he said: "These are all fashionable styles, light and beautiful, and the price is not expensive."

Hearing that the bracelet was light, Erni felt a little relieved and pointed to one of them, "Xiao Cui should like that one."

She was Zhao Xiaocui's best friend, so naturally everyone respected her opinion. Luo Yanxing immediately picked it up delicately and put it on his hand.

She turned her wrist and flipped it over and over to take a look. "It's very beautiful."

Song Ying looked at the hollow carvings and delicate patterns on the bracelet and her heart skipped a beat. She thought the bracelet might not be cheap.

She asked again: "Brother, how much is this bracelet? Just tell me."

The waiter laughed and said, "Not expensive, not expensive, only five taels of silver."

The girls' faces all changed. Luo Yanxing quickly took the bracelet off his wrist. "Five taels! That's too expensive! Brother, are you kidding us? This bracelet is so precious, how could it cost five taels?"

"Sir, what are you talking about? We at Yulingxuan operate with integrity and never cheat our customers." The waiter was still smiling, not annoyed at all. "This bracelet is lightweight and doesn't weigh down your wrist. And the workmanship is great. It was made by a famous silversmith in Qingshui County, and the price is two taels of silver. We don't sell it for a high price."
