Chapter 313 Buying a Ring
Fortunately, the matchmaker Liu arrived in time and saved Su Zhi's life.
Su Zhi was now extremely grateful to Sun Yu. Her initial positive impression of him had jumped to 80. She was glad to marry a good man; who would want to be a concubine?
Therefore, Su Zhi would rather die with a white silk ribbon to prove her innocence than be carried in a sedan chair. She covered her face and let her tears flow.
Lin Liuyi, on the other hand, was somewhat puzzled. "You want me to sell you jade?"
"Yes, I don't know if you need it?" Sun Yu also felt a little embarrassed.
He had just sold one piece here, and if he went to sell a second piece in a short time, he would easily attract attention. His family consisted of only his mother and him, and they were alone and vulnerable, so it was too dangerous for them.
Don't ask him why he doesn't sell it in the prefectural city. He's the only one who can produce this kind of jade. Even if he went to the prefectural city, he would be caught.
Therefore, Sun Yu approached Lin Liuyi, thinking that since the other party had mentioned jade in the book, he must be able to buy and sell such things there.
Well, Lin Liuyi can indeed buy and sell jade, but she doesn't need any more.
"Wait a minute, I'll go ask someone."
Lin Liuyi went to find Chen Ting, who was also troubled.
She was still thinking about returning the jade to Lin Liuyi, but after looking around the store for a long time, she found that the good quality pieces were too small and expensive, and she didn't want the low-quality ones.
Perhaps because the economy has opened up, some people have realized the changes in the market, and now the prices of jade and emeralds are also rising. Chen Ting wanted to find a bargain, but there was nothing she could do.
She was looking at the bracelet, wondering whether she should buy it. It was the best quality item in the store.
Forget it, I'll just buy it. If it doesn't work out, I can always look for more later.
After instructing the shop assistant to keep an eye out for her, Chen Ting picked up the bracelet and prepared to go home. She had already prepared her things and needed to find an opportunity to return them to Lin Liuyi.
"Hey, cousin, what have you been doing? Look at my new hairstyle, isn't it pretty!" Chen Ying tossed her hair.
"It's so noisy! What does getting my hair done have to do with me?" Chen Ting was about to yell at the other person when she saw them constantly fiddling with their hair.
"Tsk tsk, getting your hair done is just an excuse, you're actually here to show off your ring, aren't you?" Chen Ting directly exposed her little scheme.
"Oh my, my cousin has such good eyesight! This is a gold ring my husband bought for me. Isn't it dazzling to your eyes?" Chen Ying covered her mouth, feigning shyness, and showed off the gold ring again.
"Don't talk nonsense. If your gold ring fell on the ground, I wouldn't be able to find it. It's so dazzling. If you ask me, He Lin is too stingy. He bought such a thin ring. If you don't look closely, you'd think Yingzi had a rope wrapped around your hand." Chen Ting didn't tolerate her and immediately made sarcastic remarks.
What she said was the truth. He Lin was really stingy. Buying such a thin ring for his wife was worse than not buying it at all.
However, this craftsman is truly amazing; he can make such a delicate ring with such skill these days. Chen Ting was full of admiration.
"Cousin, are you jealous? Brother He broke off his engagement with you and married me instead. He even bought me a gold ring. Are you just being jealous and stubbornly refusing to admit it?"
Chen Ying was initially embarrassed by Chen Ting's sarcasm, feeling that He Lin was indeed petty for buying her such a thin ring, causing her to be ridiculed.
But then she thought, could Chen Ting be jealous of her? After all, she's the one wearing the gold ring now.
"I'm jealous of you? It's just a gold ring, who can't afford it?" Chen Ting was so angry that she wanted to put her hands on her hips. How could she be jealous of Chen Ying marrying He Lin? As for He Lin, whoever wants him can have him, she doesn't need him anyway.
“Cousin, I know you just won’t admit it.” Chen Ying felt she had won back a point.
"Bullshit! You're talking nonsense. Who's jealous of you? It's just a gold ring. Come on, today I'll show you what a real gold ring is!"
She wasn't going to fight back for pride; she was determined to slap Chen Ying in the face today.
Chen Ting dragged Chen Ying to the jewelry store. Chen Ying also wanted to see if Chen Ting was just exaggerating, so she followed along.
"Bring this, that, and that, and everything over there!" Chen Ting glanced at them and pointed out several items.
The jewelry stores didn't have as many styles as they would in later years, so Chen Ting picked out a few at a glance.
"Sir, are you sure you want to take them all out?" The salesperson was unsure.
"Take it all out!"
"Cousin, maybe we shouldn't. What if you can't come up with that much money later? Wouldn't that be delaying their work?"
Upon hearing Chen Ying's words, the saleswoman's expression turned ugly, suspecting that Chen Ting had come to cause trouble.
Chen Ting secretly took out a wad of cash from her spatial storage and threw it on the counter, saying, "Is this enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough, comrade, I'll get it for you right now!"
The sales clerk was delighted. Their jewelry store was undergoing some kind of reform, and their sales clerks' salaries had changed to a base salary plus commission. If Chen Ting closed this deal, she would get a substantial commission.
"Where did you get so much money?!" Now it was Chen Ying's turn to be dumbfounded.
"Mind your own business! Do I have to tell you how I make money? Look at the ring!" Chen Ting ignored her and kept looking at the ring.
"Oh, this is nice, perfect for my mom. This one is also nice, let's give it to my sister-in-law, but I see she already has one, so let's give this one to my second sister-in-law. As for this one, it's fine for me to keep!"
"It looks great, it looks great, it's perfect for you! This is a design that our master craftsman just made, there's only one of its kind in the entire capital!"
Chen Ying also saw the ring; she had taken a liking to it when He Lin brought her to buy it.
However, because this ring was a different style, it was much more expensive, and He Lin disagreed. In the end, he chose the one on her hand for her.
"this..."
"I'll take this one, and wrap those up for me too!" Before Chen Ying could finish speaking, Chen Ting had already taken them all.
"Okay, wait here, I'll go pack it up right now, and you can pay here!"
After Chen Ting quickly paid, she turned to Chen Ying and asked, "By the way, cousin, what were you trying to say just now?"
"It's nothing." Chen Ying had no thoughts at all now. She originally wanted to say that it was a bit expensive, but before she could finish speaking, Chen Ting bought them all.
At this moment, Chen Ying was somewhat confused. Had she really made the wrong choice?
She stroked the ring on her hand, lost in thought.
"I told you, your ring is too thin. You still think I'm jealous of you? Do I need to?" Chen Ting proudly gestured to Chen Ying with a pile of boxes in her hand.
Chen Ying fell silent.
Seeing that she had silenced Chen Ying with her words, Chen Ting didn't press the matter further. She patted Chen Ying on the shoulder and said, "Cousin, sometimes men aren't so reliable!"
