Chapter 219 The Thief Robbery
"Hey, my labor fee is also expensive. Look, there are plum blossoms carved on it!" The woman took the bracelet and moved closer to Shen Wanning.
"Let's go to the store and have a look! Why are the bracelets on this stall more expensive than those in the store?" Shen Wanning said again.
"Hey, don't go. I'll sell it to you at a lower price. Just give me three taels and five hundred coins!" the woman said to persuade them to stay.
"Three taels, that's all we'll buy. If it's more, we'll go look in the shops. There are so many shops in Fuzhou anyway, we can always find something that suits our taste."
"Well, okay, okay. This is our first order today, so I'll just consider it a good start and sell it to you." As she said that, the woman wrapped up the plum blossom bracelet and handed it to Chen the hunter.
Hunter Chen paid the money and carefully put the silver bracelet into his arms. As if he thought of something happy, the corners of his mouth curled up.
"It seems that Uncle Chen is getting married soon. He must invite us to have a drink at the wedding." Shen Wanning joked.
"If it works out, I will definitely invite you to the wedding. After all, you are the matchmaker! But right now, the matter is not settled yet. I don't know what she feels. We have to wait a little longer." Hunter Chen actually showed a rare hint of shyness.
"Uncle Chen, you can do it if you work hard. Believe in Uncle Chen." Shen Wanning encouraged.
The two of them strolled on the street again, thinking about the upcoming Lantern Festival, but Lin Jingyou was thousands of miles away from her.
She seemed to have never given Lin Jingyou a gift, but on her birthday, Lin Jingyou did her hair and gave her a portrait and a hairpin.
She also wanted to prepare a gift for Lin Jingyou and give it to him next time they met.
Just then, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion, and Shen Wanning walked in. She asked in the live broadcast room what gift to give to Lin Jingyou.
Xiao Nuomi: I gave my third brother the Four Treasures of the Study last time, but it seems that the Four Treasures of the Study are not enough to express the affection between us.
I am electricity and I am light: I think I should give something personal and intimate as a gift. How about the host embroider a sachet?
Liuyeqingqing: He died long ago! It's not like the ancient times when women couldn't go out and had nothing to do, so they stayed at home embroidering things every day. Who still has that skill?
I am the dot, I am the light: Cross stitch is also possible! You can learn cross stitch at a glance!
I Love Wangzai: Tacky! The cross stitch is neither pretty nor delicate.
Gangster: I'll send you a few more guns. Give him one for self-defense! Men will definitely like this thing.
Snow in June: The gangster is indeed a straight man. This is in ancient times. The third brother would be finished as soon as he pulled out the gun!
My beloved: If it’s something personal, then of course I’d give you a jade pendant! The above is all nonsense.
A thunderbolt from the sky: I agree! In ancient times, giving a man a jade pendant was the best thing to do.
Non-Earthling: Didn’t Third Brother give Nv Goose a hairpin with cloud pattern last time? Otherwise, Nv Goose could give Third Brother a jade pendant with cloud pattern, which would be a perfect match.
Shen Wanning's eyes lit up. "That's great!" she asked. "I just wonder if this shop has any cloud-patterned jade pendants."
She asked, "Boss, do you have a jade pendant for men? Take it out and let me see it."
The boss responded, selected some jade pendants and placed them on a tray.
"Miss, take a look at this jade tortoise-carrying book pendant. The text and pattern on it symbolizes extensive knowledge and infinite wisdom." The boss introduced it, pointing to a jade pendant.
Shen Wanning shook her head. "It has a nice meaning, but I want a jade pendant with a cloud pattern. Does the boss have one?"
"Oh, what a coincidence! Among the new goods that arrived today, there is a Ruyi cloud pattern pendant. It is in excellent condition, but the price is a bit expensive." The boss said, but his hands did not move.
"No problem, take it out and have a look." She had a lot of beans in her live broadcast room, plus the emperor had given her a lot of things. She hadn't used up the gold she had given her before, and this time she gave her a lot more.
The boss carefully took out a jade pendant with a Ruyi cloud pattern from a wooden box.
The Ruyi cloud-patterned jade pendant is crystal clear, with rainbow light lingering inside. It is obviously a top-grade jade pendant at first glance.
Shen Wanning immediately fell in love with the jade pendant. She took it and asked, "How much is it?"
"Eight hundred taels." The boss said slowly.
"Five hundred taels, I want it." Shen Wanning said this directly.
The boss shook his head. "Miss, we don't bargain in this shop. Look at the quality of this jade pendant. I can't even make back my investment with 500 taels."
As the boss said this, he was about to put the jade pendant back into the box.
"Hey, wait, eight hundred taels, I want it!" Shen Wanning said hurriedly.
Hunter Chen was watching in amazement. Just now, Shen Wanning was bargaining for the jade pendant which cost one thousand taels, but now she bought it without blinking an eye for eight hundred taels.
He knew that Shen Wanning made money, but he didn't expect it to be so much!
When Shen Wanning paid the money and received the jade pendant, what she saw was Chen Liehu's shocked expression.
"Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen. The jade pendant has been bought, let's go back!" Shen Wanning shouted twice.
Hunter Chen came back to his senses and said, "Oh, okay, okay, let's go back."
Since Chen the Hunter was next to her, Shen Wanning couldn't put the jade pendant in the express station, so she had to hold it in her hand.
The two men moved through the crowd and headed towards where the carriage was being kept.
Suddenly, someone rushed over and snatched the wooden box from Shen Wanning's hand.
Caught off guard, Shen Wanning reacted and yelled, "There's a thief! Help catch him!"
Hunter Chen reacted quickly and chased after him. Shen Wanning followed him, chasing the thief together.
However, Shen Wanning had short legs and not enough physical strength, so after following for a while, she still lost him.
In desperation, Shen Wanning came to the gate of the government office and rang the drum to enter.
"Who are you and what injustice have you suffered?" asked an officer at the door.
Shen Wanning replied, "I am the Lord of Jingu County. Someone robbed me of my jade pendant on the street, and I'm here to report it."
When the man heard Shen Wanning's identity, he hurried in to report to the prefect.
After a while, the official came out of the government office and greeted Shen Wanning.
"Wan Ning greets the prefect." After entering, Shen Wan Ning bowed.
Li Bowen stood up and greeted her, "I've heard of Lady Jingu's name many times, but this is the first time I've seen her. I never expected her to be so beautiful."
Shen Wanning was speechless. Now she just wanted to get her jade pendant back, and she didn't come here to greet the prefect.
She hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, the Prefect, thank you for your kind words. Wan Ning was just robbed in public on the street. I beg for your help in finding the thief and recovering my stolen jade pendant."
"Oh? Such a thing has happened under my jurisdiction. Please wait a moment, Lord Jingu. I will send someone to apprehend the thief immediately."
After Li Bowen finished speaking, he immediately called the police, explained the situation to them, and asked them to immediately search for Shen Wanning's jade pendant and catch the thief.
