Is it a coincidence? Or is it inevitable
Hua Zhuo knew at a glance that this was what Zhuang Jing had chosen for Du Wan. Du Wan loved tea, so it was a perfect gift to give her a tea cup. He nodded and said to shopkeeper Jin, "Let's write this down first."
Hua Zhuo tried his best to calm himself down, but the shock in his heart was always like an ebbing and flowing tide, wave after wave without end. If it weren't for her good concentration, she would almost have planned to rush back and open the wax pill given by the fifteenth aunt to see what happened.

Hua Zhuo also walked over and took a closer look with Zhuang Jing.
Hua Zhuo's eyes flashed. Forty or fifty years ago, wasn't that when great-grandfather was still alive? Could it be that the phoenix pendant on my body really came from Jinshi Hall? And they are still a pair. In other words, besides this phoenix pendant, is there really another dragon pendant
When Hua Zhuo was absent-minded, he took a quick look and felt that it was appropriate to give this jade belt buckle to Zhuang Zheng, so he asked shopkeeper Jin to write it down. Then he picked out more than a dozen exquisitely carved trinkets and pendants, and asked Shopkeeper Jin to bring them in. He and Zhuang Jing selected them carefully, including the jade tea cup and jade belt buckle. A total of eight small jade objects and a potted jade tree and silver flower sculpture were selected. This potted sculpture was sent to Rongchang Hall when the Laba Festival was being prepared. Since the ancestor invited her there, he couldn't leave his hands empty.
Countless questions were swirling in her mind, and she wanted to take out Feng Pei on the spot and ask questions clearly, but... No, that would be too rash.

"Bring it here, I'll choose first."
She gestured to the size of the phoenix pendant and asked tentatively.
"But..." Shopkeeper Jin paused, but then said: "I heard that our store once had as big a blood jade as the lady said, not just one piece, but a pair, which was already four or five years old. It happened ten years ago. The villain also heard the old shopkeeper mention it occasionally, and I don’t know who bought it. If the lady really wants it, the villain will keep an eye on it. Maybe it will come out again. Such a couple."
"Shopkeeper Jin, I have a sister whose birthday is coming up in a few days. I want to choose a good jade as a gift for her. I wonder what kind of jade your store has. Can you recommend something?"
Hua Zhuo lowered his hands in disappointment. Maybe the pattern on the sleeves of the beauty under the moon was just a coincidence.
In the final calculation, these things added up to a total of one thousand two hundred taels. There was still a fraction, but shopkeeper Jin took the initiative and erased it. Although it was a bit more expensive than expected, considering that prices in Beijing are already more expensive than other places. What's more, and it's the New Year, the prices of everything are rising, and the quality of the pieces and utensils she picked are all good. Although this gem is inferior, the soybean-sized one is still worth a lot of money. This one is worth a lot of money. The amount of money is not too exaggerated.
Zhuang Jing wanted agate, which was not as valuable as jade. There was no album, so Shopkeeper Jin brought a box of fine agate over to Zhuang Jing to choose in person. After choosing for a long time, Zhuang Jing finally selected a string of agate beads, which were made of seven different colors of agate. When worn on the wrist, they were colorful and eye-catching and very beautiful.

If it weren't for her good concentration, she would almost have planned to rush back and open the wax pill given by the fifteenth aunt to see what happened.
"Shopkeeper Jin is really good at talking."
After slowly drinking half a cup of tea, Hua Zhuo finally calmed himself down.

"Is your Rong'an Hall really in decline?"
Shopkeeper Jin narrowed his eyes with a smile and said: "The fine jade in our shop, as long as it is carved and shaped, has a drawing and a booklet. The two ladies will wait a moment, and I will go get it now."
Hua Zhuo took a deep breath, pretended to be casual, and said: "This piece of blood jade is good, but it's just a little small. Shopkeeper Jin, I wonder if your store can handle blood jade of this size?"
Zhuang Jing soon saw a piece of jade that she liked. It was a jade tea cup. It was carved from suet jade. The inner wall was pure white, while the outer wall had a few wisps of light yellow. It was carefully carved by skilled craftsmen into a spit orchid. . If you only look at the appearance, this jade tea cup is worth a lot, but the small regular script next to it states that because there is a crack as thin as a hair on the bottom of the cup, this jade can only be considered to be of middle or lower grade. And using it, collecting it is useless.
Zhuang Jing's eyes suddenly shone and she quickly said: "Me too?"
She gestured to the size of the phoenix pendant and asked tentatively.
With that said, he exited the elegant room.
"How about this?"
Hua Zhuo took a deep breath, pretended to be casual, and said: "This piece of blood jade is good, but it's just a little small. Shopkeeper Jin, I wonder if your store can handle blood jade of this size?"
"How about this?"
Zhuang Jing immediately came over and said, "You and Sister Cheng have only known each other for a long time. Do you really want to give her a good piece of jade? With the situation in her family, even if you are willing to pay the capital, she will not dare to accept it. According to me Look, it’s better to choose a piece of agate, one with better carving skills, so that it doesn’t look particularly precious and is pleasing to the eye.”
"Shopkeeper Jin is really good at talking."
Rongan Hall!
In the final calculation, these things added up to a total of one thousand two hundred taels. There was still a fraction, but shopkeeper Jin took the initiative and erased it. Although it was a bit more expensive than expected, considering that prices in Beijing are already more expensive than other places.

Although this gem is inferior, the soybean-sized one is still worth a lot of money. This one is worth a lot of money. The amount of money is not too exaggerated.
"I don't like jade, just pick up an agate. But I really have to pick two pieces of jade in a while, one is for sister Wan'er, and the other..." Zhuang Jing listened and whispered: "It's for me. Second brother picked it, I just don’t know if you are willing to part with it or not?”

Hua Zhuo thought for a moment and realized that Zhuang Jing's words were not unreasonable. The Minister of Household Affairs was famous for being honest and frugal. If her gift was too heavy, Cheng Ning would not dare to accept it.

At this point, Hua Zhuo didn't have much silver left. If she wanted to spend a lot of money, she would have to go to shopkeeper Fang Da to ask for money. Although Aunt Liu didn't say anything when she went to pay the bill, Hua Zhuo still had a look on her face. I felt a little heartbroken.
"Bring it here, I'll choose first."
"Is your Rong'an Hall really in decline?"
"What a pity." Zhuang Jing had a look of regret on her face. She felt that this piece of blood jade was very suitable for her second brother. Hanging it on the fan, it would complement the rouge mole between her eyebrows. She would be fascinated by it. The girl is pregnant with spring. But the blood jade was too expensive, and she was too embarrassed to ask Hua Zhuo to buy it.
Rongan Hall!

Hua Zhuo blushed and was about to spit at her when the door curtain moved. Shopkeeper Jin had already brought over the album. It was a thick book, which showed that there were quite a lot of good jade in this Jinshi Hall.
But he said: "Don't worry, I have brought enough money today, not only to buy jade, but also agate, gemstones, colored glaze, pearls and so on. The New Year is coming soon, and these are just used for making tassels and knotting." I'm making tassels, making jewelry, and preparing gifts. I like Sister Cheng in my heart, so naturally I want to pick the best one for her. It's not a bad idea to remind me. I'll think about it carefully when I choose later."
"Is your Rong'an Hall really in decline?"
Hua Zhuo lowered his hands in disappointment. Maybe the pattern on the sleeves of the beauty under the moon was just a coincidence.
Shopkeeper Jin clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Ladies, you have good eyesight. Although this jade has some shortcomings, it is of excellent quality and the carving is very exquisite. It is not only affordable but also decent as a gift."
Hua Zhuo's eyes flashed. Forty or fifty years ago, wasn't that when great-grandfather was still alive? Could it be that the phoenix pendant on my body really came from Jinshi Hall? And they are still a pair. In other words, besides this phoenix pendant, is there really another dragon pendant
Hua Zhuo also felt guilty. Was he too wasteful? She reflected but felt no regret at all.

Zhuang Jing's eyes suddenly shone and she quickly said: "Me too?"
"How about this?"
"A pair of such big blood jade..." Zhuang Jing was dumbfounded after hearing this. She didn't know how rich someone could be to buy it. She pulled Hua Zhuo's sleeve and whispered: "Don't I’m thinking about blood jade, it’s good, but it’s too expensive, I can’t afford it even if I sell it to you, so let’s continue looking at other things.”
Shopkeeper Jin narrowed his eyes with a smile and said: "The fine jade in our shop, as long as it is carved and shaped, has a drawing and a booklet. The two ladies will wait a moment, and I will go get it now."
"Is your Rong'an Hall really in decline?"
Hua Zhuo smiled: "Of course there is, and it's the best jade. I'll get the album later, just pick the one you like."
Zhuang Jing wanted agate, which was not as valuable as jade. There was no album, so Shopkeeper Jin brought a box of fine agate over to Zhuang Jing to choose in person. After choosing for a long time, Zhuang Jing finally selected a string of agate beads, which were made of seven different colors of agate. When worn on the wrist, they were colorful and eye-catching and very beautiful.
Hua Zhuo smiled, then lowered his head and continued reading the album. Not long after I saw a jade crown, I couldn't help but feel moved in my heart. I couldn't help but think that if Zhuang Zheng wore this jade crown, the white jade would set off his handsome face. I don't know how he would look good. It's a pity that Zhuang Zheng is not a weak crown yet. At this age, you can't wear a crown, otherwise... I feel a little blushing just thinking about it.
"I don't like jade, just pick up an agate. But I really have to pick two pieces of jade in a while, one is for sister Wan'er, and the other..." Zhuang Jing listened and whispered: "It's for me. Second brother picked it, I just don’t know if you are willing to part with it or not?”
As she spoke, she flipped through the album quickly and suddenly saw something. She smiled happily and said, "Look at this one. It's very good."
Hua Zhuo lowered his hands in disappointment. Maybe the pattern on the sleeves of the beauty under the moon was just a coincidence.
Hua Zhuo didn't choose, and directly asked for a hundred agate beads of different colors, and then picked up some gemstones of various colors the size of soybeans and rice grains. Shopkeeper Jin was very happy to see her generosity and simply gave her another box. Good colored glaze beads. As for pearls, Jinshitang doesn't have them. Hua Zhuo doesn't necessarily have to buy pearls. These agate beads, colored glaze beads and various gemstones are enough for her to make gifts during the New Year.
"But..." Shopkeeper Jin paused, but then said: "I heard that our store once had as big a blood jade as the lady said, not just one piece, but a pair, which was already four or five years old. It happened ten years ago. The villain also heard the old shopkeeper mention it occasionally, and I don’t know who bought it. If the lady really wants it, the villain will keep an eye on it.

Although Rongantang is not a clan, it is definitely much richer than the Zhenguo General's Mansion. She had seen Hua Zhuo living in an old house before, but he didn't pay much attention to food and clothing. She only thought that the situation in Rongan Hall was similar to her own. Today, she saw Hua Zhuo spending money like water without blinking an eye. Only then did she realize that he had money but didn't spend it wisely.
Hua Zhuo knew at a glance that this was what Zhuang Jing had chosen for Du Wan. Du Wan loved tea, so it was a perfect gift to give her a tea cup. He nodded and said to shopkeeper Jin, "Let's write this down first."
Zhuang Jing's eyes suddenly shone and she quickly said: "Me too?"
"Bring it here, I'll choose first."
With that said, he exited the elegant room.
It is a jade belt buckle, square in shape, with a picture of proud snow green bamboo carved on the front. The bamboo is a humble gentleman. Jade also symbolizes the five virtues of a gentleman. It is a perfect match, with good meaning, good carving, and the quality of the jade. good.
Hua Zhuo didn't choose, and directly asked for a hundred agate beads of different colors, and then picked up some gemstones of various colors the size of soybeans and rice grains. Shopkeeper Jin was very happy to see her generosity and simply gave her another box. Good colored glaze beads. As for pearls, Jinshitang doesn't have them. Hua Zhuo doesn't necessarily have to buy pearls. These agate beads, colored glaze beads and various gemstones are enough for her to make gifts during the New Year.
Zhuang Jing eagerly asked Bixi to take the album and look through it.
Shopkeeper Jin narrowed his eyes with a smile and said: "The fine jade in our shop, as long as it is carved and shaped, has a drawing and a booklet. The two ladies will wait a moment, and I will go get it now."
Countless questions were swirling in her mind, and she wanted to take out Feng Pei on the spot and ask questions clearly, but... No, that would be too rash.
After slowly drinking half a cup of tea, Hua Zhuo finally calmed himself down.
I don’t know who the painter is, but his painting skills are really good. Not only does he paint the jade objects lifelike, but he also writes the color, size, weight, quality, place of origin, carver and even the jade’s color, size, weight, quality, place of origin, carver and even the name of the jade in regular script next to it. Even the flaws are clearly written, making it easy to see at a glance.
Hua Zhuo tried his best to calm himself down, but the shock in his heart was always like an ebbing and flowing tide, wave after wave without end. If it weren't for her good concentration, she would almost have planned to rush back and open the wax pill given by the fifteenth aunt to see what happened.

Hua Zhuo also walked over and took a closer look with Zhuang Jing.
Shopkeeper Jin was obviously not a talkative person. When he saw them looking through the album, he stepped aside and stood with his hands tied.
With that said, he exited the elegant room.
Hua Zhuo smiled, then lowered his head and continued reading the album. Not long after I saw a jade crown, I couldn't help but feel moved in my heart.

Shopkeeper Jin, who was putting away the banknotes, suddenly froze and quickly turned his head, only to see that the group of people had already left the private room. As if he suddenly remembered something, when shopkeeper Jin turned his head, Hua Zhuo also whispered a few words to Qiqiao.
"What a pity." Zhuang Jing had a look of regret on her face. She felt that this piece of blood jade was very suitable for her second brother. Hanging it on the fan, it would complement the rouge mole between her eyebrows. She would be fascinated by it. The girl is pregnant with spring.

"But..." Shopkeeper Jin paused, but then said: "I heard that our store once had as big a blood jade as the lady said, not just one piece, but a pair, which was already four or five years old.

She gestured to the size of the phoenix pendant and asked tentatively.
Shopkeeper Jin was obviously not a talkative person. When he saw them looking through the album, he stepped aside and stood with his hands tied.
Shopkeeper Jin smiled and said: "Such rare objects are very rare. Even the size of this jade cicada is the only one in our store now. I have been working here for more than 20 years, and I have only sold ten in total." A few pieces of blood jade.”
Hua Zhuo smiled, then lowered his head and continued reading the album. Not long after I saw a jade crown, I couldn't help but feel moved in my heart. I couldn't help but think that if Zhuang Zheng wore this jade crown, the white jade would set off his handsome face. I don't know how he would look good.

Zhuang Jing's eyes glazed over when she heard shopkeeper Jin dialing the numbers on the abacus. One thousand one hundred taels were spent like this, without Hua Zhuo even blinking an eye. She suddenly realized something. No wonder her eldest uncle didn't object to the marriage with Rong'an Hall, but instead acquiesced.
"Hey... there is blood jade..."
"Hey... there is blood jade..."
Hua Zhuo tried his best to calm himself down, but the shock in his heart was always like an ebbing and flowing tide, wave after wave without end. If it weren't for her good concentration, she would almost have planned to rush back and open the wax pill given by the fifteenth aunt to see what happened.
Zhuang Jing suddenly exclaimed, and Hua Zhuo was shocked. The material of Feng Pei was blood jade. At this moment, she suddenly heard Zhuang Jing exclaim, and she couldn't help but look over.

Zhuang Jing suddenly exclaimed, and Hua Zhuo was shocked. The material of Feng Pei was blood jade. At this moment, she suddenly heard Zhuang Jing exclaim, and she couldn't help but look over.
After slowly drinking half a cup of tea, Hua Zhuo finally calmed himself down.
It is indeed a piece of blood jade, but it is only about the size of a thumb. Blood jade is extremely rare, so since it is a piece the size of a thumb, it is also very precious. This piece of blood jade was carved into the shape of a jade cicada, which was perfect for making a fan pendant.
"A pair of such big blood jade..." Zhuang Jing was dumbfounded after hearing this. She didn't know how rich someone could be to buy it. She pulled Hua Zhuo's sleeve and whispered: "Don't I’m thinking about blood jade, it’s good, but it’s too expensive, I can’t afford it even if I sell it to you, so let’s continue looking at other things.”
With that said, he exited the elegant room.
"Shopkeeper Jin, I have a sister whose birthday is coming up in a few days. I want to choose a good jade as a gift for her. I wonder what kind of jade your store has. Can you recommend something?"
Countless questions were swirling in her mind, and she wanted to take out Feng Pei on the spot and ask questions clearly, but... No, that would be too rash.
Shopkeeper Jin narrowed his eyes with a smile and said: "The fine jade in our shop, as long as it is carved and shaped, has a drawing and a booklet. The two ladies will wait a moment, and I will go get it now."

But the blood jade was too expensive, and she was too embarrassed to ask Hua Zhuo to buy it.
As she spoke, she flipped through the album quickly and suddenly saw something. She smiled happily and said, "Look at this one. It's very good."
When Hua Zhuo was absent-minded, he took a quick look and felt that it was appropriate to give this jade belt buckle to Zhuang Zheng, so he asked shopkeeper Jin to write it down. Then he picked out more than a dozen exquisitely carved trinkets and pendants, and asked Shopkeeper Jin to bring them in. He and Zhuang Jing selected them carefully, including the jade tea cup and jade belt buckle. A total of eight small jade objects and a potted jade tree and silver flower sculpture were selected. This potted sculpture was sent to Rongchang Hall when the Laba Festival was being prepared. Since the ancestor invited her there, he couldn't leave his hands empty.
"Hey... there is blood jade..."
Hua Zhuo took a deep breath, pretended to be casual, and said: "This piece of blood jade is good, but it's just a little small. Shopkeeper Jin, I wonder if your store can handle blood jade of this size?"
Hua Zhuo smiled: "Of course there is, and it's the best jade. I'll get the album later, just pick the one you like."
Hua Zhuo rolled his eyes at her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? All the money I brought to Beijing was spent here. If you do this again, you will have to go to the northwest. Let's go to the pastry shop. You can only beat me." This time it’s autumn, next time I’ll be the one to beat you up.”
She gestured to the size of the phoenix pendant and asked tentatively.
Zhuang Jing eagerly asked Bixi to take the album and look through it.
Zhuang Jing wanted agate, which was not as valuable as jade. There was no album, so Shopkeeper Jin brought a box of fine agate over to Zhuang Jing to choose in person. After choosing for a long time, Zhuang Jing finally selected a string of agate beads, which were made of seven different colors of agate. When worn on the wrist, they were colorful and eye-catching and very beautiful.
Blood jade is a rare thing, and one as big as a phoenix pendant is even more rare. I am afraid that it may not appear together for decades. The purpose of her test is to know whether the fengpei came from the Jinshi Hall. from.

Zhuang Jing immediately came over and said, "You and Sister Cheng have only known each other for a long time. Do you really want to give her a good piece of jade? With the situation in her family, even if you are willing to pay the capital, she will not dare to accept it. According to me Look, it’s better to choose a piece of agate, one with better carving skills, so that it doesn’t look particularly precious and is pleasing to the eye.”
Hua Zhuo took a deep breath, pretended to be casual, and said: "This piece of blood jade is good, but it's just a little small. Shopkeeper Jin, I wonder if your store can handle blood jade of this size?"
Hua Zhuo also walked over and took a closer look with Zhuang Jing.
"How about this?"
Shopkeeper Jin, who was putting away the banknotes, suddenly froze and quickly turned his head, only to see that the group of people had already left the private room. As if he suddenly remembered something, when shopkeeper Jin turned his head, Hua Zhuo also whispered a few words to Qiqiao.
Although Rongantang is not a clan, it is definitely much richer than the Zhenguo General's Mansion. She had seen Hua Zhuo living in an old house before, but he didn't pay much attention to food and clothing. She only thought that the situation in Rongan Hall was similar to her own. Today, she saw Hua Zhuo spending money like water without blinking an eye. Only then did she realize that he had money but didn't spend it wisely.
Shopkeeper Jin smiled and said: "Such rare objects are very rare. Even the size of this jade cicada is the only one in our store now. I have been working here for more than 20 years, and I have only sold ten in total." A few pieces of blood jade.”
It is a jade belt buckle, square in shape, with a picture of proud snow green bamboo carved on the front. The bamboo is a humble gentleman. Jade also symbolizes the five virtues of a gentleman. It is a perfect match, with good meaning, good carving, and the quality of the jade. good.
Zhuang Jing immediately came over and said, "You and Sister Cheng have only known each other for a long time. Do you really want to give her a good piece of jade? With the situation in her family, even if you are willing to pay the capital, she will not dare to accept it. According to me Look, it’s better to choose a piece of agate, one with better carving skills, so that it doesn’t look particularly precious and is pleasing to the eye.”
"A pair of such big blood jade..." Zhuang Jing was dumbfounded after hearing this. She didn't know how rich someone could be to buy it. She pulled Hua Zhuo's sleeve and whispered: "Don't I’m thinking about blood jade, it’s good, but it’s too expensive, I can’t afford it even if I sell it to you, so let’s continue looking at other things.”
Countless questions were swirling in her mind, and she wanted to take out Feng Pei on the spot and ask questions clearly, but... No, that would be too rash.
Zhuang Jing's eyes glazed over when she heard shopkeeper Jin dialing the numbers on the abacus. One thousand one hundred taels were spent like this, without Hua Zhuo even blinking an eye. She suddenly realized something. No wonder her eldest uncle didn't object to the marriage with Rong'an Hall, but instead acquiesced.
Zhuang Jing wanted agate, which was not as valuable as jade. There was no album, so Shopkeeper Jin brought a box of fine agate over to Zhuang Jing to choose in person. After choosing for a long time, Zhuang Jing finally selected a string of agate beads, which were made of seven different colors of agate. When worn on the wrist, they were colorful and eye-catching and very beautiful.
Hua Zhuo lowered his hands in disappointment. Maybe the pattern on the sleeves of the beauty under the moon was just a coincidence.
"I don't like jade, just pick up an agate. But I really have to pick two pieces of jade in a while, one is for sister Wan'er, and the other..." Zhuang Jing listened and whispered: "It's for me. Second brother picked it, I just don’t know if you are willing to part with it or not?”
But he said: "Don't worry, I have brought enough money today, not only to buy jade, but also agate, gemstones, colored glaze, pearls and so on. The New Year is coming soon, and these are just used for making tassels and knotting." I'm making tassels, making jewelry, and preparing gifts. I like Sister Cheng in my heart, so naturally I want to pick the best one for her. It's not a bad idea to remind me. I'll think about it carefully when I choose later."
Hua Zhuo lowered his hands in disappointment. Maybe the pattern on the sleeves of the beauty under the moon was just a coincidence.
Shopkeeper Jin, who was putting away the banknotes, suddenly froze and quickly turned his head, only to see that the group of people had already left the private room. As if he suddenly remembered something, when shopkeeper Jin turned his head, Hua Zhuo also whispered a few words to Qiqiao.
"But..." Shopkeeper Jin paused, but then said: "I heard that our store once had as big a blood jade as the lady said, not just one piece, but a pair, which was already four or five years old. It happened ten years ago. The villain also heard the old shopkeeper mention it occasionally, and I don’t know who bought it. If the lady really wants it, the villain will keep an eye on it. Maybe it will come out again. Such a couple."
"Hey... there is blood jade..."
Hua Zhuo thought for a moment and realized that Zhuang Jing's words were not unreasonable. The Minister of Household Affairs was famous for being honest and frugal. If her gift was too heavy, Cheng Ning would not dare to accept it.
As she spoke, she flipped through the album quickly and suddenly saw something. She smiled happily and said, "Look at this one. It's very good."
Although Rongantang is not a clan, it is definitely much richer than the Zhenguo General's Mansion. She had seen Hua Zhuo living in an old house before, but he didn't pay much attention to food and clothing. She only thought that the situation in Rongan Hall was similar to her own. Today, she saw Hua Zhuo spending money like water without blinking an eye. Only then did she realize that he had money but didn't spend it wisely.
Hua Zhuo blushed and was about to spit at her when the door curtain moved. Shopkeeper Jin had already brought over the album. It was a thick book, which showed that there were quite a lot of good jade in this Jinshi Hall.
"How about this?"
She gestured to the size of the phoenix pendant and asked tentatively.
It is indeed a piece of blood jade, but it is only about the size of a thumb. Blood jade is extremely rare, so since it is a piece the size of a thumb, it is also very precious. This piece of blood jade was carved into the shape of a jade cicada, which was perfect for making a fan pendant.
Hua Zhuo's eyes flashed. Forty or fifty years ago, wasn't that when great-grandfather was still alive? Could it be that the phoenix pendant on my body really came from Jinshi Hall? And they are still a pair. In other words, besides this phoenix pendant, is there really another dragon pendant
Shopkeeper Jin clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Ladies, you have good eyesight. Although this jade has some shortcomings, it is of excellent quality and the carving is very exquisite. It is not only affordable but also decent as a gift."
"I don't like jade, just pick up an agate. But I really have to pick two pieces of jade in a while, one is for sister Wan'er, and the other..." Zhuang Jing listened and whispered: "It's for me. Second brother picked it, I just don’t know if you are willing to part with it or not?”
Countless questions were swirling in her mind, and she wanted to take out Feng Pei on the spot and ask questions clearly, but... No, that would be too rash.
When Hua Zhuo was absent-minded, he took a quick look and felt that it was appropriate to give this jade belt buckle to Zhuang Zheng, so he asked shopkeeper Jin to write it down. Then he picked out more than a dozen exquisitely carved trinkets and pendants, and asked Shopkeeper Jin to bring them in. He and Zhuang Jing selected them carefully, including the jade tea cup and jade belt buckle. A total of eight small jade objects and a potted jade tree and silver flower sculpture were selected. This potted sculpture was sent to Rongchang Hall when the Laba Festival was being prepared. Since the ancestor invited her there, he couldn't leave his hands empty.
As she spoke, she flipped through the album quickly and suddenly saw something. She smiled happily and said, "Look at this one. It's very good."
Shopkeeper Jin narrowed his eyes with a smile and said: "The fine jade in our shop, as long as it is carved and shaped, has a drawing and a booklet. The two ladies will wait a moment, and I will go get it now."
Blood jade is a rare thing, and one as big as a phoenix pendant is even more rare. I am afraid that it may not appear together for decades. The purpose of her test is to know whether the fengpei came from the Jinshi Hall. from.

Rongan Hall!
Hua Zhuo knew at a glance that this was what Zhuang Jing had chosen for Du Wan. Du Wan loved tea, so it was a perfect gift to give her a tea cup. He nodded and said to shopkeeper Jin, "Let's write this down first."
As she spoke, she flipped through the album quickly and suddenly saw something. She smiled happily and said, "Look at this one. It's very good."
Hua Zhuo didn't choose, and directly asked for a hundred agate beads of different colors, and then picked up some gemstones of various colors the size of soybeans and rice grains. Shopkeeper Jin was very happy to see her generosity and simply gave her another box. Good colored glaze beads. As for pearls, Jinshitang doesn't have them. Hua Zhuo doesn't necessarily have to buy pearls. These agate beads, colored glaze beads and various gemstones are enough for her to make gifts during the New Year.
Hua Zhuo smiled, then lowered his head and continued reading the album. Not long after I saw a jade crown, I couldn't help but feel moved in my heart. I couldn't help but think that if Zhuang Zheng wore this jade crown, the white jade would set off his handsome face. I don't know how he would look good. It's a pity that Zhuang Zheng is not a weak crown yet. At this age, you can't wear a crown, otherwise... I feel a little blushing just thinking about it.

Zhuang Jing suddenly exclaimed, and Hua Zhuo was shocked. The material of Feng Pei was blood jade. At this moment, she suddenly heard Zhuang Jing exclaim, and she couldn't help but look over.
Hua Zhuo thought for a moment and realized that Zhuang Jing's words were not unreasonable. The Minister of Household Affairs was famous for being honest and frugal. If her gift was too heavy, Cheng Ning would not dare to accept it.
"Bring it here, I'll choose first."
Hua Zhuo rolled his eyes at her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? All the money I brought to Beijing was spent here. If you do this again, you will have to go to the northwest. Let's go to the pastry shop. You can only beat me." This time it’s autumn, next time I’ll be the one to beat you up.”
At this point, Hua Zhuo didn't have much silver left. If she wanted to spend a lot of money, she would have to go to shopkeeper Fang Da to ask for money. Although Aunt Liu didn't say anything when she went to pay the bill, Hua Zhuo still had a look on her face. I felt a little heartbroken.
Zhuang Jing soon saw a piece of jade that she liked. It was a jade tea cup. It was carved from suet jade. The inner wall was pure white, while the outer wall had a few wisps of light yellow. It was carefully carved by skilled craftsmen into a spit orchid. . If you only look at the appearance, this jade tea cup is worth a lot, but the small regular script next to it states that because there is a crack as thin as a hair on the bottom of the cup, this jade can only be considered to be of middle or lower grade. And using it, collecting it is useless.
Hua Zhuo smiled: "Of course there is, and it's the best jade. I'll get the album later, just pick the one you like."
When Hua Zhuo was absent-minded, he took a quick look and felt that it was appropriate to give this jade belt buckle to Zhuang Zheng, so he asked shopkeeper Jin to write it down.

Is it a coincidence? Or is it inevitable

"Is your Rong'an Hall really in decline?"
Hua Zhuo didn't choose, and directly asked for a hundred agate beads of different colors, and then picked up some gemstones of various colors the size of soybeans and rice grains.

Zhuang Jing's eyes glazed over when she heard shopkeeper Jin dialing the numbers on the abacus. One thousand one hundred taels were spent like this, without Hua Zhuo even blinking an eye. She suddenly realized something. No wonder her eldest uncle didn't object to the marriage with Rong'an Hall, but instead acquiesced.
In the final calculation, these things added up to a total of one thousand two hundred taels. There was still a fraction, but shopkeeper Jin took the initiative and erased it. Although it was a bit more expensive than expected, considering that prices in Beijing are already more expensive than other places. What's more, and it's the New Year, the prices of everything are rising, and the quality of the pieces and utensils she picked are all good. Although this gem is inferior, the soybean-sized one is still worth a lot of money. This one is worth a lot of money. The amount of money is not too exaggerated.

Hua Zhuo tried his best to calm himself down, but the shock in his heart was always like an ebbing and flowing tide, wave after wave without end. If it weren't for her good concentration, she would almost have planned to rush back and open the wax pill given by the fifteenth aunt to see what happened.

Hua Zhuo also felt guilty. Was he too wasteful? She reflected but felt no regret at all.
"How about this?"

Zhuang Jing eagerly asked Bixi to take the album and look through it.
With that said, he exited the elegant room.
Shopkeeper Jin was obviously not a talkative person. When he saw them looking through the album, he stepped aside and stood with his hands tied.
"Hey... there is blood jade..."
"Is your Rong'an Hall really in decline?"
"What a pity." Zhuang Jing had a look of regret on her face. She felt that this piece of blood jade was very suitable for her second brother. Hanging it on the fan, it would complement the rouge mole between her eyebrows. She would be fascinated by it. The girl is pregnant with spring. But the blood jade was too expensive, and she was too embarrassed to ask Hua Zhuo to buy it.

Hua Zhuo also walked over and took a closer look with Zhuang Jing.
