The villains ran away, and Qiao Wei walked to the carriage with a heavy amount of silver.

Shi Qi was standing in front of the carriage. When she saw Qiao Wei coming, her eyes rolled around her body. After turning around for a while, she looked left and right behind her, as if she was looking for something.

"What's wrong with Seventeen?" Qiao Wei asked in wonder.

Shi Qi frowned and kept looking beside her.

Qiao Wei thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Are you looking for the child you saved that day, my daughter, Wang Shu?"

Seventeen nodded.

Qiao Wei smiled slightly: "You still remember her, she went to school today and didn't come with me."

Shi Qi frowned in disappointment, but after a while, he took out a small green thing from his bosom and handed it to Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei took it and saw that it was a grasshopper woven from bamboo leaves. The weaving was very delicate, and she asked, "Is it for Wang Shu?"

Seventeen nodded again, his eyes brightened a little.

It can't be seen that Seventeen is so ruthless in fights, but he is as careful as dust when he is gentle. She likes everyone who is good to her children. Qiao Wei patted Shiqi on the shoulder happily: "I thank you for Wang Shu."

Huh? have muscles.

Qiao Wei pinched, pinched, pinched again.

The coachman on the side was completely dumbfounded. Miss Xindao, do you know how many people's hands have been chopped off by Shiqi? Even the princess dare not eat Shiqi's tofu like this. Have you eaten enough? !

It feels so good in the hand, and looks so cute, I really want to go back and be a younger brother.

But people have helped me so much, it would be a little unkind for me to have such thoughts, Qiao Wei reluctantly withdrew her hand, looked at Shi Qi, then looked at the man in the carriage and said: "Master, it's almost noon , if you don’t mind, I’ll invite the two of you to a restaurant for dinner!”

The man said calmly: "We are in a hurry to return to Beijing, so you don't need to spend money."

Qiao Wei thought about it for a while, then turned her heart, and handed the money bag through the car window: "Then you take this, I stole the money from them, you can use it to buy some wine."

In the end, it was all thanks to Shi Qi's cool and handsome beating them up tyrannically, otherwise, no one would believe her nonsense just by her mouth.

I wanted to invite the other party to eat some and keep some for myself, but since the other party was in a hurry, I would give it all to the other party, which seemed more sincere.

The man glanced at the money bag lightly, but didn't take it away, Qiao Wei just held it like that, her arms were sore.

The man's eyes fell on the jade hairpin in her black hair: "Do you know how to choose jewelry?"

A quarter of an hour later, Qiao Wei walked into Dafangzhai, the only jewelry store on Daxing Street.

The boss was sitting at the counter fiddling with the abacus boredly. When he looked up, he saw that it was a pretty village girl who had just come here. She only bought a fifty-cent fake jade hairpin and left. He lost interest immediately.

"My lord, please." Qiao Wei led the man in after crossing the threshold.

The boss has seen countless people, and he can tell he is a distinguished guest just by looking at the man's clothes. He exudes a refined and noble temperament, but it's a pity that he is wearing a bamboo hat and veil, so he can't see clearly.

The boss hurriedly put down his abacus, and greeted him with a smile: "May I ask what jewelry you two want to buy?"

Qiao Wei glanced at him contemptuously. If it wasn't for the sake of the young man, she wouldn't bother to introduce business to such a boss, who said: "The guy who sold me the hairpin just now, call him, You are old, why should you go, huh?"

The corner of the boss's mouth twitched, and he called the man over with a half-smile.

The guy was very happy to see the returning customers, and he was also glad that he didn't look down on others like the boss. No, although the girl didn't buy any expensive jewelry by herself, she introduced a big money owner!

The man took out the topaz plum blossom hairpin that Qiao Wei saw at first sight: "Is the girl here to buy this? I know the girl likes it, and I kept it specially for the girl."

The man looked at Qiao Wei, Qiao Wei waved her hand quickly, and said with a smile: "It's not for me, it's for the son's grandmother. The color of this hairpin is too thin, and it doesn't look precious enough for the old man to wear."

"What the girl said is true." The clerk cleverly put the plum blossom hairpin back, "Then please follow me to the second floor, sir and girl."

There is actually a second floor!

The second floor is not as big as the first floor, but each set of jewelry is more high-end than the first floor. Of course, the price is several times that of the first floor. No wonder no one took her to the second floor. I can't even afford to drink.

Thanks to the young master, she also opened her eyes once.

"My lord, does the old lady like gold or jade?"

"It will be all right."

"The old lady likes to be a little more public, or a little more reserved?"

"It's all right."

Saying is tantamount to not saying.

Qiao Wei could only follow her own aesthetics. She chose a set of hairpins inlaid with gold and jade. There are five hairpins in total, all of which are made of Hetian white jade. On the top are flowers and butterflies carved with golden silk. The flowers are so detailed that the veins can be seen, the butterflies are lifelike, and the hairpin is slender and made of pure gold. Coincidentally, this kind of gold is matte, and it looks calm, restrained, simple and atmospheric when worn, without giving people the feeling of nouveau riche.

The man asked the buddy to wrap up the hairpin.

Qiao Wei said, "Wait, how much is this?"

The man smiled and said, "Eight hundred taels."

Qiao Wei was dumbfounded: "What, what? Eight hundred taels? Why don't you grab it?"

The clerk said politely: "Girl, you don't know, this set of hairpins is an antique from the previous dynasty. There were originally a set of twelve pieces, but we only found five pieces in our shop, so we sold them cheaply. The price of the whole set is five thousand." Going up."

Qiao Wei glanced at him suspiciously. Although I have a good impression of you, it doesn't mean you can kill me: "You still sell antiques? Who are you fooling?"

The man smiled: "Girl, I really didn't catch you. This is really an antique hairpin. If you don't believe me, take it to an antique store to appreciate it. If it's fake, I'll give you ten times the money back."

Qiao Wei snorted, "That eight hundred taels is too expensive, five hundred!"

The clerk smiled helplessly: "Girl, at this price, you can't even get the goods."

Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows: "I'm also in business, and I know the twists and turns in it. You won't lose money if you sell it for four hundred taels. I see that you have such a big shop, and you need to hire someone to pay the rent. That's why you earned an extra one hundred taels."

The guy couldn't laugh or cry: "Girl, five hundred taels is really not enough, you really want it, seven hundred and fifty taels."

"Five hundred and five."

"You are a regular customer, so, seven hundred, sincere price."

Qiao Wei's expression was not moved at all: "Five hundred and five, I won't buy any more! I didn't have to go to your place to buy it, and I will return to Beijing soon. There are many good shops in Beijing, so I am afraid to choose one." Can't find some suitable jewelry?"

The buddy couldn't help it, so he went downstairs to ask the boss, and reported back to Qiao Wei: "Girl, our boss said that 600 taels is the lowest price, and it's only for you as a friend. If it doesn't work, he can't help it."

Qiao Wei walked up to the man and asked in a low voice, "Master, can you tell if it's a real antique or a fake antique?"

The man lowered his head to look at the two arms that were unintentionally stuck together, his eyes paused slightly: "Well, really."

Really antique? That's a good price.

Qiao Wei looked as if she had suffered a lot: "Forget it, let's just go with this."

The clerk led the two of them down to pay the bill. When they passed by the counter, the man pointed to the topaz plum blossom hairpin: "Wrap this one too."
