Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 121 Cat's Eye Silver Hairpin

Hualei dodged, grabbed Pearl's hand and smiled.

"Sister Hua, let's go and take a look. I'm also too full and want to go out to digest the food." Rong Jue said with a smile. He loved going out to play the most.

"You can go home and help digest the food. Squatting and running exercises can help digest the food." Hua Lei said jokingly.

"Sister Hua, let's go. Xiaoyuan wants to go too. Right? Xiaoyuan." Rong Jue asked Xiaoyuan to be his ally. Hua Lei looked at Xiaoyuan, then at the sky outside, "But..."

"Sister Hua, it's good to go shopping. Anyway, I have already told my grandmother that I will be back later. We have nothing to do if we go back to the Marquis' Mansion now, so why not go shopping?"

"Okay then, let's go shopping. But let Butler Pei go back first. He's been busy with us for most of the morning. He has a lot of things to do at home." Hua Lei felt a little embarrassed to have an old man of her grandfather's generation following her all the time. It would be fine if she really needed his help, but it would not be appropriate for her to make him wait while they went shopping.

"Okay." Rong Jin agreed.

"Cousin, do you want to go back or go with us?" Zhenzhu asked Han Qingge who was sitting next to her. She hoped that Han Qingge would say no.

"I..." Han Qingge hesitated a little. She also realized that Zhenzhu and Rong Jin didn't like her. But she couldn't bear to give up the opportunity to get along with Rong Jin.

Although she lived in the Marquis' Mansion every day, she had very few opportunities to see Rong Jin. The only time she could see him was when Rong Jin went to pay his respects to Madam Han on his day off. Every time, Rong Jin came and left in a hurry.

He would only politely greet me at most, and never say a word. Every time I made him a purse sachet, he would directly reject it without mercy, as if I was giving him a poison.

Han Qingge was a little anxious. Although she was the same age as Zhenzhu, she was still one month older than her. Zhenzhu was already engaged, and the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion had already gone through the process of accepting the marriage proposal with the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion.

But there was still no progress between Rong Jin and me. In the past, my aunt would find reasons to invite Rong Jin to Changfeng Garden for dinner, but recently even my aunt didn't invite Rong Jin to come over, so I had even fewer opportunities to see Rong Jin. If this continued, I really had no chance to marry my cousin.

"Cousin, why are you in a daze? If you don't want to go, let Butler Pei take you back." Zhenzhu asked from the side.

"I'll go." Han Qingge replied softly. She couldn't give up the opportunity. She had to let her cousin see her good qualities.

Zhenzhu closed her mouth in disappointment. Han Qingge wanted to go, but she was too embarrassed to kick her out of the carriage. Otherwise, she would be scolded by her mother again.

Oh, why did Sister Hua let her come with me? Now I feel like I have been stuck with a dog-skin plaster that cannot be removed. It's really annoying!

The carriage turned and headed towards Suzaku Street. Pearl was a little sleepy after eating. Unconsciously, she leaned her head on Hualei's shoulder. Hualei carefully adjusted the angle so that Pearl could sleep more comfortably. The carriage drove for half an hour and arrived at Suzaku Street.

Hualei patted Zhenzhu to wake her up. She was speechless about this. She was about to fall asleep in the carriage, but she was unwilling to go back to the Marquis' Mansion to rest and insisted on going shopping. Her enthusiasm for shopping was unparalleled.

"Are we there?" Pearl, who was originally drowsy, immediately became alert. Hualei shook her head helplessly, straightened her dress, and got out of the car first.

Zhenzhu also straightened her dress and got off the car. She stood by the car and looked around. "Oh, it's great! I'll eat and sleep well and go shopping!" Zhenzhu stretched. Rong Jin glared at Zhenzhu and turned away helplessly. Zhenzhu smiled and stuck out her tongue behind Rong Jin.

Compared with East Street, Zhuque Street inside the Imperial City Gate is more prosperous, the things sold there are more expensive and of course, of better quality.

Hualei and his group were not in a hurry. They walked past the shops one by one, and went in to take a look at the ones they were interested in. If they were not interested, they would just skip it.

Soon, the group arrived at the Jin Yu Man Tang jewelry store that Zhenzhu mentioned. Zhenzhu took Hua Lei in first, and Rong Jin and the others followed behind.

There were cabinets in the double-sided lobby, filled with a dazzling array of accessories, including hairpins, hairpins, earrings, and bracelets, in a variety of styles that were too numerous to be seen.

The waiter came over and asked, "Miss, do you need anything? We have all kinds of jewelry here. If you like any of them, you can take them out and try them on."

Pearl nodded, her eyes sweeping over the ornaments one by one. Hualei followed Pearl and slowly browsed through the ornaments. She was used to seeing jade ornaments made with great technology in her previous life. Now Hualei was a little allergic to jade ornaments, and preferred gold ornaments instead. The golden color was so pure that it made people unable to look away.

Many people say that wearing gold is tacky and makes one look like a nouveau riche. But Hualei thinks that vulgarity is elegance, especially after seeing the gold jewelry endorsed by a female star in her previous life, she felt that it was truly beautiful, elegant and unique.

In this era, gold is a universal currency. If silver is really out of stock one day, these gold ornaments can be directly exchanged for silver.

For some reason, even though Hua Lei now has a shop and a farm and has a lot of money in her hands, she still feels insecure inside, so her eyes linger on those gold jewelry, especially those pure gold jewelry.

Even though these accessories are old-fashioned, Hualei thinks they are good. As for those gold-covered silver, gold-covered copper, etc., she just skipped them.

Rong Jue and Xiao Yuan followed behind, talking in low voices. "Wow, this hairpin is so pretty! Xiao Yuan, look, is it pretty? It's sparkling and inlaid with rubies." Rong Jue asked Xiao Yuan beside him. Xiao Yuan leaned forward to take a look and nodded expressionlessly.

"Is it not beautiful? I think it is very beautiful. Wow, this one is beautiful, this one is inlaid with emeralds, uh, it seems to be a little yellow. It's round and bright, and it can change color. It looks a bit like a kitten's eyes, um, and a bit like Sister Hua's eyes. Xiaoyuan, look, it's round and bright, doesn't it look like Sister Hua's eyes?" Rong Jue greeted Xiaoyuan in a low voice again.

Xiaoyuan leaned in to take a closer look at the hairpin and nodded, "Well, it's pretty. But not as pretty as my sister's eyes." Xiaoyuan concluded.

Rong Jin leaned over and saw a silver hairpin inlaid with cat's eye. The style was ordinary, but the cat's eye was round and bright, a bit like Hua Meimei's eyes, round and round. Rong Jin couldn't help but think of the morning by the courtyard wall, when Hua Meimei stared at him with such a pair of round and bright eyes, asking him whether he looked good or not.
