Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 363 - 362: Don’t Snatch Things Randomly
The young man responded, "Uh-huh, it’s very beautiful."
Hearing the compliment, Ye Zhi shook the beads again, grinning from ear to ear, "Isn’t it lovely? My mother gave it to me on my birthday last year. I adore it and wear it all the time, no matter the occasion. It looks great with any outfit."
The two of them walked and talked, mostly the young girl in the pink long dress was speaking.
It was late autumn, and the sun hung high in the sky. Though it shone brightly, it wasn’t hot. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
The Capital City was in the north, where the end of autumn marked the onset of cold weather. Occasionally, when a gust of autumn wind blew by, the chill could be felt.
"Look, this Li Xiu Pavilion specializes in selling women’s clothing. The styles are diverse and innovative, and they also sell Shu Brocade, which is well-loved by the noblewomen of the Capital."
Listening to the young girl’s introduction, Shen Chen looked up briefly. The entrance was elegantly decorated, and within, there were vividly colorful, glossy fabrics on display. It appeared that the noblewomen of the Capital included Ah Zhi as well.
The items sold at Li Xiu Pavilion were undoubtedly not cheap.
"Oh, look, that’s Phoenix Pavilion. Xiao Chen, let’s take a look." As soon as the soft, charming voice dropped, the young girl in the pink long dress had already rushed to the entrance, beckoning Shen Chen to come over.
Shen Chen responded, "Alright."
He walked over to her with an unhurried pace.
Phoenix Pavilion specialized in selling various types of gold jewelry, and also Phoenix Crowns, among other items...
A shopkeeper, approximately thirty years old, with a proper appearance, greeted the entering young couple with enthusiasm, "Please, come in, both of you. Our Phoenix Pavilion offers a wide variety of jewelry, each piece elegant and luxurious. Whether for personal use or as a gift, they’re unsurpassed."
The store was not empty; there were already several customers browsing while the clerks diligently explained the items.
Ye Zhi nodded and directed her clear eyes toward the styles displayed on the counter.
The jewelry in the shop was dazzling and varied, with several display cases along the walls.
After looking around several times, her eyes were caught by a peony hairpin, and she couldn’t look away.
The shopkeeper, skilled at reading people, immediately took out the hairpin from the cabinet and began explaining, "This is called the Thousand-leaf Gold Peony Hairpin. The tandem-hearted peony is celebrated as the ’King of All Flowers,’ symbolizing hearts joined as one. It is carved by Master He Lan of our dynasty. If I’m not mistaken, you’re buying it as a gift for a bride-to-be?"
The exquisite gold peony hairpin lay quietly in the brocade box, cradled in the shopkeeper’s hands.
Ye Zhi gazed at it with her bright eyes and earnestly responded, "Yes, my sister is getting married soon, and this would look beautiful on her."
The shopkeeper gave a somewhat insincere smile but continued to praise, "With jewels and elegance all around, and a golden splendor, it couldn’t be more fitting a choice. Once this Thousand-leaf Gold Peony Hairpin is placed in the Phoenix Crown, your sister will surely captivate everyone with her smile, becoming the most beautiful bride in the Capital. You, being so young and already gifting so thoughtfully, are sure to touch your elder sister’s heart."
"I’ll take that peony gold hairpin."
A coquettish female voice suddenly interjected.
However, it wasn’t Ah Zhi who said it...
Everyone turned to see a young lady in a red embroidered long dress. Her eyebrows were delicate and long, with a small cherry-red mouth, her eyes held a clear, flowing gaze. She was quite beautiful, and beside her stood a young man dressed smartly, with clear, bright features.
The two of them were like an ideal pair.
The girl was charming, the boy handsome~
The issue, however, was that they seemed bound by fate...
Ye Zhi dropped her friendly facade, her face turning serious, "Liu Qingxi, what are you trying to do? I saw this Thousand-leaf Gold Peony Hairpin first, and I’ve already told the shopkeeper I want to buy it. There are so many other pieces in Phoenix Pavilion, just choose another, stop trying to snatch things away."
