Chapter 737 Cleaning up the scum (5)
The female waiter brought Caiwei to the lobby on the second floor. The counter above was different from the first floor. The counter on the first floor was made of rosewood, but the counter on the second floor was made of huanghuali.
The jewelry displayed on the second floor is indeed much higher-end than the first floor, and the workmanship is more refined. The color of the gemstones on the jewelry is many times better than that on the first floor.
Accompanied by the female waiter, she looked around and found that most of the jewelry here were in a gorgeous and flamboyant style. For example, the female waiter recommended a set of gorgeous phoenix-pierced peony jewelry to Caiwei. The jewelry was very delicate. The pure gold peony flowers are vivid and lifelike, with ruby stamens, emerald flowers and leaves, and the phoenix is also made lifelike. The phoenix eyes are also inlaid with fine rubies, and there is a string of pink pearls in the mouth, like tassels. It is also very eye-catching if worn.
However, Caiwei felt that Fei'er was still young and not suitable for such jewelry. The rubies on the jewelry were too overwhelming. It would be better if she had good looks and good temperament and could show her nobility. A person's aura comes from it; if a person with low appearance and poor temperament wears it, she will clearly look like a golden upstart. Instead of buying such jewelry, it is better to use diamonds to make a set of simple and low-key jewelry, which is consistent with her age. It is proportionate and can show low-key luxury!
Therefore, after looking at it briefly, she proposed to the female clerk that she wanted to customize a set of jewelry. She would provide the materials for the customization, and Jiangxinlou would only provide the craftsmanship.
Normally, the female clerk would definitely refuse such a request on the spot, but because she had a good impression of Caiwei, she reluctantly said: "Theoretically, our Jiangxin Building does not accept such work, but I can go and do it." Please ask if you can make an exception, but I don’t know what kind of jewelry you want to order?"
Caiwei said: "I want to customize a diamond necklace, a pair of diamond earrings, a diamond hairpin and a pair of diamond bracelets..."
The female clerk was frightened by Caiwei's words. You must know that diamonds are the most expensive gems in the Jiangxin Building. The total number of diamonds in the entire Jiangxin Building is only about a hundred or so, which is not enough for so many jewelry. But this girl actually wants to hit so many diamonds in one go. Could it be that she... really has so many diamonds?
Caiwei seemed to see the female clerk's doubts. She smiled brightly, opened the package she carried with her, and took a look at the diamonds inside.
With just one glance, the light from those dazzling diamonds instantly attracted the ladies and rich ladies in the hall. They looked at the girl in ordinary clothes and gauze hat with dumbfounded eyes. They couldn't believe their eyes.
So many dazzling diamonds, real diamonds!
One of the women, who was slightly plump and had an arrogant face, came over and said to Caiwei: "This lady, I am Li Shanggong, who is next to Concubine Jin. I came out specially to buy jewelry for the concubine. Can I sell the girl's diamonds?" ?"
Caiwei wrapped her baggage again and said calmly: "I'm sorry, I won't sell it!"
Li Shanggong was rejected in public, and immediately felt very humiliated. You must know that she represents Concubine Jin, and being shameless to her is equivalent to denying Concubine Jin face. Did this little girl take advantage of her ambition? How dare you refuse Concubine Jin?
She lowered her face and said with a sneer: "Little girl, I advise you to think carefully and sell the things to the imperial concubine. The empress will be happy and you will never suffer a loss."
Caiwei said coldly: "Thank you for reminding me, but I just don't want to sell it. Come to think of it, Imperial Concubine Jin won't be unhappy about this!"
