Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 45 County Purchase

As expected of a county town, the jewelry sold at Baoyu Silver Shop cannot be compared to those sold at street stalls in town.

Hairpins, pearl flowers, bracelets, etc. are simply dazzling and beautiful.

Even Jiang Youzhen was dazzled. She also liked DIY jewelry in her previous life, but she rarely bought expensive materials because her salary was limited.

"Sir, are you buying jewelry for your sweetheart? This silk flower is a popular style in the capital, and it will definitely look great on a girl."

The busy counter clerk turned around and saw Jiang Youzhen. He did not recommend anything expensive, but only recommended a silk flower that looked very lively but not so luxurious.

The guys in this kind of jewelry store have trained their eyes to be sharp and know what kind of customers can afford what price. It's a pity that he made a mistake today.

"Show me the one next to it."

Jiang Youzhen liked a silk rose flower strung with pearls and with tassels hanging from the bottom, which was very beautiful.

The bright pink color suits the third sister, and she just wants to dress up the three sisters in the family beautifully.

The clerk was a little surprised. "This flower is indeed beautiful. Our shopkeeper brought it from the capital. It's just a little expensive."

The waiter looked at him with a look, and Jiang Youzhen asked with a smile, "How much?"

"The inlaid pearls are round and mellow. Although they are not big, they are not as big as rice-sized pearls. Sir, you have good taste. This one costs one tael of silver."

When Jiang Youzhen heard it, he thought it was indeed a little expensive, but it looked good!

"I want the peony and lotus flowers next to it."

These three flowers are obviously from the same series, just right for the three sisters, so Jiang Youzhen bought them without hesitation.

"And take one of the plum-petal pearl flower, the butterfly flower, and the dragonfly flower. Take five of the peach wood combs over there, and take that set of silver and jade headpieces."

There is a comb at home, but it is missing several teeth, so we have to buy a few more because there are many people in the family.

Jiang Youzhen stood in front of the counter and pointed casually, but the words that came out of his mouth scared the waiter to death.

"And those two sets of pearl-inlaid headpieces. Bring them to me."

Jiang Fugui, who was waiting not far away, was almost frightened to death. How dare this girl do that?

It felt like the whole family would go bankrupt just by pointing with that little hand.

He immediately stepped forward and retracted Jiang Youzhen's hand which was about to point.

Then he whispered in Jiang Youzhen's ear: "That's enough. We won't be able to leave if we don't have the money by then."

Jiang Fugui had no idea about jewelry and had never bought any, so he didn't know the price.

In his opinion, such a wealthy shop must have expensive things in it.

Even if Jiang Youzhen had three hundred taels in his arms, he still felt unsure.

"Dad! My three sisters are getting married soon. Do we need to prepare some dowries? Otherwise, it will be too shabby."

Jiang Youzhen then pointed to a set of silver headpieces inlaid with red agate next to it and said, "Take this too.

Although the agate beads were small and only two were inlaid on a pair of hairpins, they were still elegant and perfect for Shen.

"Sir, are you sure you want everything you just pointed out?"

The guy was a little shocked. He looked at Jiang Youzhen and thought to himself, could it be that he had misjudged him?

The commotion here also attracted the attention of other people in the shop, and everyone looked sideways.

Jiang Fugui was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. This old girl is such a spendthrift.

The three hundred taels I just got, are they not all gone?

I remembered what the baby’s mother said last night, that of the money Erlang earned, except for the money she used to support the family, the rest was saved for Erlang.

But now that Erlang was such a spendthrift, he felt a little scared.

Jiang Fugui: "Too many..."

"I want everything you just said. Please calculate it for me and give me a cheaper price!"

Jiang Youzhen waved his hand and imagined himself becoming the richest man and spending money lavishly.

It's a pity that ideals are full and reality is skinny. Her little money is not enough to buy a few gold jewelry.

"Erlang, this is too much, and they are all silver..."

Jiang Youzhen nodded, "Dad, when we have money, we will buy gold for Mom and my sisters. For now, we have to make do with this!"

Jiang Fugui: No! That’s not what I meant. How could that be what I meant?

The waiter had already called the shopkeeper to settle the bill. When the shopkeeper saw how much was bought, he immediately looked friendly.

"Sir, please take a look. There are four sets of silver head ornaments, three silk flowers, and five peach wood combs..."

Jiang Fugui only saw the shopkeeper's lips chattering, the abacus in his hand clacking, and then he spit out a number that made him dizzy.

"The total is sixty-two taels, six hundred and fifty wen. I'll round off the amount for you and give you sixty-two taels, five hundred wen! Come to our shop often in the future, and I promise to satisfy you."

More than sixty taels is not a small deal. After all, although wealthy families buy expensive items, they don’t buy them very often!

"The shopkeeper is really generous. He'll pay for everything."

Jiang Youzhen said this as he took out a fifty-liang and a twenty-liang silver note from his shoes. The fifty-liang note was something Jiang Youzhen had specifically requested when the clinic gave it to him.

The shopkeeper watched Jiang Youzhen take out the smelly silver note from his shoes. He didn't dislike it. He took it in his hand and looked at it again and again. He found that it was the silver note of Zhengfeng Money House, which was available in the county town. He immediately smiled with wrinkles on his face.

Jiang Fugui touched his chest. It was so exciting that more than sixty taels of silver came out at once.

No! Let him take his time.

Jiang Fugui didn't know when he left the jewelry store. He just felt the north wind blowing and his head was buzzing.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he took a breath and coughed twice.

"Dad! The fabrics in the county are beautiful. Let's go take a look and buy some to make clothes for mom and the others."

Jiang Fugui suddenly grabbed Jiang Youzhen's arm and said, "Don't buy any more. If you buy more, we will really be left with nothing."

"Dad! Don't worry! I have plenty of money!"

Jiang Youzhen pulled Jiang Fugui into the cloth shop. Seeing that his old girl wanted to buy everything she looked at, Jiang Fugui felt his legs trembling.

Fortunately, Jiang Youzhen remembered that it would be difficult to carry if he bought too much, so he only bought two pieces of cloth and spent one tael and four cents of silver.

After agreeing with the shopkeeper to leave it at the cloth shop first, Jiang Youzhen took Jiang Fugui to the roadside snack stand in the market town.

"Dad, can you buy some pork elbows in soy sauce? They smell so good!"

"Dad, let's buy some big meat buns! There are also white cloud cakes and jujube paste cakes for sale over there, buy some back too."

"Dad, let's have another bowl of noodle soup..."

Jiang Fugui followed behind helplessly, "Eat! Eat! Who can eat better than you?"

Seeing that there was more and more food in the backpack, Jiang Fugui had to pull Jiang Youzhen along. He couldn't bear to hear Erlang calling him daddy anymore.

I don’t know if I will be scolded when I go back, but today I have witnessed Erlang’s profligate behavior.

He regretted it and decided to keep the banknote himself.

It was less than noon, and Jiang Youzhen had already spent dozens of taels. He didn't know that a person could spend so much money in such a short time. It turned out that he was not very experienced.

"Hey? Have you heard? If you save that orchid, you can get a reward of 500 taels of silver."

Jiang Youzhen had just pulled Jiang Fugui to sit at the noodle soup stall when he heard a man at the same table talking to another person.
