Then, Si Yiyan took Wen Xinya to a jade shop.
It has a typical Baroque architectural style, red brick walls and an elegant and luxurious interior.
Most of these jade shops are privately owned and are used by the government and nobles to entertain guests and hold exhibitions, so most of the good stuff can be found here.
Si Yiyan took out the gold card, and the waitress immediately bent down 90 degrees and welcomed them in: "Sir, please come in this way!"
Those who can come here and hold a gold card are the most distinguished guests of this store.
The store is not very big, but the things in the display cabinets are warm and elegant, and they are amazing. The things on display here are actually world-famous collectibles.
Si Yiyan whispered to Wen Xinya in her ear, and said jokingly, "There are almost no places without women in Country E, but... I can still find places with few women."
Wen Xinya blushed again and couldn't help but glare at him, but she couldn't help feeling complacent in her heart.
The waitress took Si Yiyan to Area 1, where the items on display were the best in the store.
Wen Xinya stepped on the carpet, which was thin but gradually thicker. The soft touch made people feel as if they were floating on the ground.
Various kinds of accessories were displayed in the bulletproof tempered glass. Wen Xinya couldn't help but be amazed at what she saw, from the items themselves to their value.
Si Yiyan whispered, "It's rare to come across such good things even in Country Z. Just pick whatever you like."
Wen Xinya was quite speechless. She stared at Si Yiyan for a long while before saying, "I can't even wear all the jewelry in Lishan Manor. Why do I need to sell so many?"
What's the point of buying a watch but not wearing it? It's better not to sell it.
Si Yiyan smiled and said, "I bought it. There will always be a time to wear it."
Wen Xinya looked around for a while. Although the things here were good, she had no desire to buy anything.
Si Yiyan looked at the waitress and said calmly, "Are there any other jewelry worth collecting here? Take them out and let me see them."
Now that I'm here, I can't go back empty-handed.
The waitress bent down and said, "Please wait a moment!"
About five minutes later, a line of waitresses came in one after another, carrying ebony trays.
Various jade, gold, diamond, and gemstone ornaments filled the long display cabinets. Each piece was a masterpiece among masterpieces. Even someone as calm as Wen Xinya couldn't help but feel dazzled by the sight.
At this time, Si Yiyan picked up a gold bracelet from one of the trays. The craftsmanship of this bracelet was very beautiful. The gold bracelet was about five centimeters wide and looked quite thick. It was carved with hollow golden crape myrtle flowers, which were lifelike. The fine jade inlay craftsmanship was even more ingenious. Such warm and elegant craftsmanship was something I had never seen before.
The waitress said, "Sir, this bracelet is made of 1000% pure gold. It is the only pure gold jewelry in the world. The carvings are all made by top Belgian jewelry masters."
This gold bracelet is probably the most valuable of all these pieces of jewelry.
Si Yiyan ignored her. He had good taste and knew at a glance that the gold content of this bracelet was at least 999.9! That's why he chose it.
Wen Xinya curled her lips and said, "Isn't it said that there is no pure gold?"
The waitress' smile froze on her face and she didn't know what to say.
Si Yiyan smiled and said, "This bracelet is indeed very beautiful and suits you very well."
As he spoke, he held her hand and was about to put the gold and jade bracelet on her wrist. Wen Xinya quickly pulled her hand away: "Who wants to wear such a tacky gold bracelet? Nowadays, only old ladies wear gold and silver."
Previously, it was for "Elegance" magazine, and that was to coincide with the photo shoot for the magazine's theme.
Si Yiyan said helplessly: "In fact, I have never understood why you women like diamonds, gemstones, opals and other jewelry. In my opinion, those things are just beautiful. The so-called value and meaning are just hyped up by the merchants."
He had never seen gold jewelry with such exquisite craftsmanship, so he decided to buy it.
Wen Xinya stared at the gold and jade bracelet in Si Yiyan's hand. Even she had to admit that both the craftsmanship and the bracelet itself were extremely delicate and beautiful. The dazzling gold did not look tacky, but rather noble.
Si Yiyan chuckled and said, "The diamonds you women like are just single crystals of carbon. Those beautiful gemstones and crystals are silicon dioxide. The set of opal jewelry in front of you looks gorgeous, but it's actually silicon dioxide containing hydrogen and oxygen. The emerald necklace looks noble and elegant, but it's actually a beryllium aluminum silicate mineral, which is emerald green because it contains chromium."
Wen Xinya's mouth twitched.
Even the waitress's face darkened, but she had to admit that the other party was knowledgeable.
"How can it compare to the purity of gold and the aura of jade? Gold has strong corrosion resistance. Even at a high temperature of over 3000 degrees, it will not show any itching reaction and thus will not deteriorate. It is the purest substance in the world, just like my feelings for you. Real gold is not afraid of fire." Si Yiyan gently held her hand and put it on her carefully. Her hand skin was smooth, so the bracelet was easily pushed onto her wrist. The size was just right, as if it was tailor-made for her.
This is also the second reason why Si Yiyan took a fancy to it. He could tell at first glance that the size of this bracelet was most suitable for Xinya, and he was indeed not wrong.
The golden setting is inlaid with fine jade from old pit glass. The jade is polished to be very smooth and translucent, making the bracelet even more dazzling. Such a complex and exquisite bracelet looks unexpectedly beautiful on her wrist.
Even the waitress couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so beautiful! I've never seen a guest who is so suitable for wearing gold jewelry."
Wen Xinya was fooled by Si Yiyan, and her heart was filled with sweet feelings. This man was really good at saying sweet words: "It seems to look good."
While saying this, she kept shaking her wrist, observing the bracelet she was wearing from various angles.
Si Yiyan's fingers gently stroked the gold-inlaid jade bracelet on her wrist: "In ancient times, when two families married, if the man was very satisfied with the woman, he would give her a jade ruyi, which meant that the woman was in line with the man's wishes. If they got married, this gold-inlaid jade object would be the only one among all the betrothal gifts, symbolizing a perfect marriage."
Wen Xinya's eyes turned red, and she couldn't help but be moved: "You are just a chatterbox."
She was so upset by his few words that it was so embarrassing.
Si Yiyan smiled and took her hand and said, "Take a look at other jewelry, see if there's anything you like."
Wen Xinya pouted and said, "Diamonds and gemstones have been devalued by people, so how can I care about other jewelry?"
Si Yiyan laughed: "That's great, let's pick out a full set of gold jewelry and put them in the jewelry cabinet in the cloakroom, it will look dazzling."
Wen Xinya couldn't help laughing and said, "Si Yiyan, you are so vulgar!"
Si Yiyan didn't care. People say that gold is vulgar, but in fact it is only because the color of gold is hard for anyone to suppress and it can bring out the best in the wearer's temperament. Many people would become vulgar when wearing gold, but Xinya is different. Her temperament can suppress the pure color of gold, as well as the heavy and majestic aura polished by history.
