Chapter 295: Cen Chick's bargaining skills!
The happiest person to be able to go out to play is not Cen Xiyan, but Yingxue.
This girl has a lively temperament and is at the age where she loves to play. Cen Xiyan never restricts her temperament. In recent years, she has traveled with Cen Xiyan to many places. Her horizons have broadened, her temperament has become wilder, and she has become more restrained.
I can no longer see the small square of sky in the high gate and deep house.
Just a few days after returning to the Cen family mansion, she was already feeling uncomfortable and feeling uncomfortable. Although she went to the royal hunting ground with Cen Xiyan once, it was far from enjoyable! Moreover, she had an accident along the way.
It's a disappointment.
Yingxue said she was very happy to be able to go out and have fun again today. Although it was Jingshuang who gave her the opportunity, which made her feel a little sorry, but after leaving the house, her attention was immediately drawn to the hustle and bustle of the street outside the carriage.
Attracted by the scene, the little guilt in my heart immediately disappeared.
Seeing Yingxue holding up the car window and looking out greedily, Cen Xiyan couldn't help but feel funny. This girl looked like this, she really looked like a little country hat who came to the city for the first time and saw everything new!
In fact, although Cen Xiyan has not returned to the Cen Mansion for ten years, it does not mean that she has never been to the imperial capital Sheng'an. Yuanyin Sect's most important business is in the capital, so how could she not have been to the capital.
And Jingshuang and Yingxue, Cen Xiyan's two substitute maids, have naturally returned to Sheng'an with her, so they are actually no strangers to Shengcheng.
Yingxue's behavior at this moment is really just the result of being trapped in the past few days.
"Miss, where are we going?" Yingxue asked Cen Xiyan, but her eyes were still staring outside the car.
"Where do you want to go?" Cen Xiyan asked with a faint smile on her pretty face.
Yingxue wanted to say that she wanted to go to Shiquanshifeng to see the moon that she had not seen for a long time, but she immediately thought that they came out as members of the Zhongyong Hou family, and there was a mark of the Cen family on the carriage. In this capital, there was probably no such thing.
People don’t recognize it, right? It’s obviously inappropriate to be perfect in such an identity, so I couldn’t help but sigh inwardly and gave up the idea.
"I don't know, let's just take a stroll..." Yingxue's voice sounded a little depressed.
Seeing Yingxue's appearance, Cen Xiyan knew that this girl was depressed about something, but there was nothing she could do about it. Although they left the house openly, their actions were still very restricted due to their status as members of the Cen family, and they were not so free.
Cen Xiyan thought for a moment and then told Shunzi who was watching the car outside: "Shunzi, let's go to Dongshi."
"Okay, miss!" Shunzi agreed, raised his riding whip, and drove the carriage skillfully and briskly toward the east city.
Dongshi is one of several commercial districts in Sheng'an City. Because the east and north directions of Sheng'an Cheng are the areas where clans, noble families, etc. live concentratedly, so Dongshi, located in Dongcheng, is the largest among several commercial districts.
In the high-end area, there are jewelry shops, rouge shops, silk and satin shops, etc., all of which sell high-end goods. Only rich and distinguished families will come here to shop.
Cenxiyan is not short of money. If you want to go shopping, of course you will choose a good place, and the East Market is also relatively close.
Yingxue is a girl who loves shopping. She was very happy when she heard Cen Xiyan's words, and the little depression in her heart was swept away.
When Shunzi drove the carriage to the intersection of Dongshi, Cen Xiyan asked Shunzi to park the carriage in an open space. He took Yingxue and went shopping on foot, while Shunzi stayed to watch the carriage.
Naturally, those two guards had to follow Cen Xiyan and Yingxue's master and servant.
Yingxue didn't like being followed so closely by unfamiliar people when she was shopping. She looked at the two guards and wrinkled her nose, but she also knew that it was impossible not to let them follow.
So he didn't say anything.
Cen Xiyan didn't care, although she didn't need the protection of these two people at all, but for shopping, of course she knew how to shop, and having two free laborers to help carry things was not bad.
Next, Cen Xiyan, the shopping mode of master and servant, opened the eyes of the two guards!
In a jewelry shop.
"Miss, look, isn't this hairpin very unique? I like it so much!"
"Oh, I like it. Shopkeeper, how much does this hairpin cost?"
"This girl has good taste. This is the most popular style in Beijing now. The price in our store is also fair, only fifty taels of silver!" The man at the showcase held out two fingers and said with a smile.
"Fifty taels? It's expensive, boss, please make it cheaper." Cen Xiyan bargained.
"Girl, it's really not expensive. Look at the style, the texture, the workmanship..."
"Shopkeeper, are you being dishonest? You said this is the most popular style this year? As far as I know, the fine-grained cherry blossom pattern on this became popular last year, although this pattern was originally used on bracelets.
, is now used on hairpins, but it’s not too novel, right? This pattern should have been spread from Qizhen Pavilion at the beginning, right? The pattern on this hairpin is an imitation of Qizhen Pavilion, and the workmanship is not the same as the original one.
Fabi! The quality... the quality of the gemstones inlaid on it is indeed good, but it is so finely chopped, it must be leftovers, right? No matter how good the quality is, it is not worth a lot of money..."
Cen Xiyan's words immediately made the shopkeeper sweat! There were other customers in the shop, and they all looked over. They looked at Cen Xiyan and then at the hairpin in Yingxue's hand. Obviously,
They were all listening to the conversation between them.
The shopkeeper raised his sleeves, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said quickly: "Girl, girl, if you really like it, you can take this hairpin, which costs forty taels of silver!"
"Forty taels? It's not worth it. I haven't mentioned yet, this fine-grained cherry blossom receptacle..."
"Thirty taels! Is thirty taels okay?" The shopkeeper quickly thought about what Cen Xiyan said, otherwise she would continue to talk and consciously lower the price by another ten taels.
"The shopkeeper, you are such a cheerful person!" Cen Xiyan gave the shopkeeper a bright smile and happily paid the money this time.
Yingxue got the hairpin she wanted and happily followed Cen Xiyan out of the shop.
In the rouge shop.
"Miss, this lip balm seems to be pretty good. Can you buy a few more? I want to bring one for Jingshuang, as well as white peony root, Sichuan shellfish, and others. Let's give one to each of them." Yingxue pointed to the most expensive product in the shop.
A lipstick for Cenxi Rock Road.
"Shopkeeper, if we buy more of this grease, can it be cheaper?" Cen Xiyan asked the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "You can wipe it on the head."
"Buy ten and get one free, you won't lose anything, boss." Cen Xiyan smiled and used her bargaining skills.
"This..." The shopkeeper hesitated, while he was silently settling accounts in his mind.
