Chapter 498 Buying Gold Jewelry
The young man said, "It doesn't matter. I can't afford it anyway."
Li and Zhou Xing were picking out jewelry at the side and didn't pay attention to what they were saying. Zhou Suli and Li Lai were standing aside waiting for them boredly and were not interested in these gold and silver jewelry.
When Zhou Guo saw that the table was full of silver ornaments, he said to the waiter, "Young man, why are there only silver ornaments? Why don't you bring out some good stuff, such as gold, pearls, and gemstones, so that we can see them and open our eyes."
The young man nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take it out and show it to you."
Anyway, it’s only right to show it to the guests.
A tray of various gold jewellery was brought out from below.
"Wow!" Zhou Xing, who was standing by, looked at these glittering golden jewels with eyes as bright as the stars in the sky. There was no room for anything else in her eyes.
The silver one is not good enough.
Zhou Guo looked at the silver one beside him and found that the gold one looked better.
Smiling, she said to Zhou Xing, "Sister, just wear whatever you like."
Zhou Xing couldn't help but look at her. Knowing what she meant, she felt a little embarrassed and looked at the thinnest and smallest bracelet on the tray.
The clerk smiled and said, "You have a good eye. Don't underestimate this bracelet. It costs more than twenty taels of silver."
Zhou Xing was so scared that she immediately retracted her hand, her eyes widened, "It's so small and so expensive?!"
Zhou Guo took it and looked at it. He saw that this was no ordinary gold bracelet. It was finely carved with a circle of intricate peonies, with bumps and depressions, which looked delicate. The bracelet was small to begin with, and the carving was so lifelike, with all the details, so it was naturally more expensive.
Zhou Xing refused to look at the details and started to look at the big picture.
Li picked out those golden hairpins, hairpins, step-shaking ornaments, earrings, and the dazzling array of things made her eyes dazzled. She only had a wooden hairpin before, and even now, she only had silver hairpins and earrings on her head. She never knew that there could be so many styles of things for hair.
She was holding a crabapple-shaped hairpin with beads and was reluctant to let it go. She compared it with Zhou Guo's head, shook her head, thinking that it would not fit her because of her small head and short hair. She turned to Zhou Xing and put it in her hair.
Zhou Xing didn't even dare to move, and looked at her expectantly.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "It looks good!"
Zhou Su nodded, "It looks great!"
Zhou Xing smiled even more brightly.
Li put it aside and decided to buy some gold jewelry for Zhou Xing today. The girl was old enough and it was time to prepare a dowry.
Zhou Guo also gave her the gold bracelet that she liked. Although it was a bit expensive, it was beautiful and perfect for a young girl.
Seeing this, Zhou Xing hurriedly said, "Don't want this bracelet. It's too expensive and so thin."
Just as Zhou Guo was about to say something, she picked up a round gold bracelet that was as thick as her little finger and said, "Let's go with this one. This one is bigger."
Then he asked the waiter, "How much is this? It should be less than ten taels, right?"
The young man was a little confused at this moment, and subconsciously said: "No, eight or nine taels."
Zhou Xing said happily: "Then this is it."
Said to Zhou Guo: "This one is big and cheap. I will definitely choose this one. I don't want that one, which is so thin and so expensive. I can buy three of these."
Zhou Guo let it go silently. Well, let her choose for herself.
Zhou Xing picked a bracelet and then gave up choosing. She looked at the bracelet with joy. She was also a person who had a gold bracelet.
Li smiled and said, "What else do you like? Let's take a look."
Zhou Xing said with a smile: "Second Aunt, that's enough, this bracelet is enough for me."
Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Silly child, I asked you to choose your dowry."
Zhou Xing was stunned, and then her face turned red.
Zhou Guo said angrily: "Sister, buy whatever you like. I have money, I will buy it for you."
Zhou Xing laughed, "You should keep the money for yourself. You are the one who spends the most money in our family. There is enough for you to spend on meat and books. You don't need to worry about your sister."
Zhou Guo said: "If I don't worry about it, who will?"
She is now a wealthy woman. Not counting the gold, she has a few thousand taels of silver in her hand. These are all the money she saved before, the money she earned from cheating others, and the money she earned this time. It is more than enough to buy some gold jewelry.
In addition to the buyao, Li also took a fancy to two hairpins and two hairpins.
Without exception, they are all big and heavy, and will definitely blind people's eyes when they are worn.
Zhou Guo took a fancy to a pair of gold earrings, a small hollow gold ball with beads and gems strung together with gold threads. They were very delicate, and the gems were red, perfect for wearing when getting married.
When the young man saw it, he said, "This is a good thing. The young lady has a sharp eye. Don't underestimate this, it's the most expensive one here. This pair costs forty taels!"
"Forty taels?!"
Li and Zhou Xing both looked over at the same time and saw the pair of small earrings in Zhou Guo's hand.
They each took one and looked at it, then shook their heads, "No, it's too small, it doesn't look grand!"
"It's not worth it. It's so small and so expensive. I don't want it!"
Neither of them liked it. Although it looked nice, it was expensive and small, so it was not worth it.
Zhou Guo took the pair of earrings back and said, "You really don't know how to appreciate them. Look how beautifully the gold ball is carved. The gold thread is so fine. Such a small gold ball has such intricate patterns carved on it. There are also beads and gems underneath. There's a reason why it costs forty taels."
Li said, "In our countryside, no matter how beautiful the carvings are, they are useless. They have to be big. If you need money in the future, you can exchange them for more money. Yours is so small, how much can you exchange it for?"
Then she looked at the hairpin she had picked out first and said, "It has to be pretty. I've already picked out one for your sister. It also has beads on it. Now we need to pick something solid."
Zhou Guo pouted, "If you want to pick something real, then you might as well just give my sister some gold. That's the heavy one, and it's the most real!"
Li said without even looking up, "How can they be the same? You can't take gold out. Don't pick it. Your sister won't like it even if you pick it. Just pick your own."
Well, then she'll pick her own.
When she lowered her head, she saw the three little ones at her feet, looking up at them obediently. She had an idea and picked up the gold lockets for them, but then she thought that they were so small and it would not be safe to carry such a big gold locket. If a bad guy saw it, it would not matter if he pulled it off, but she was afraid that he would have bad intentions and hurt people.
He picked up the silver lock.
There were plenty of silver locks. The boy turned around and brought out a plate full of silver locks.
Zhou Guo picked one for each of them. There was a silver bell hanging under the lock for Zhou Sul, which was more beautiful than the other two.
Hanging around the necks of several people, he asked, "Do you like it?"
The three of them nodded in succession. Zhou Su lowered his head and looked for a long time before saying, "Sister, do we have any too? Do you want to buy some for us?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Of course, buy it if you like it."
