Chapter 762 Does this person look very similar to you?
The maids chatted with each other, and the more they looked at the room, the more they felt that it was even more thoughtful than their own house in Beijing.
Shen smiled and said, "Let's go walk around the streets and see if the shops here are any different from those in the capital."
Shen Wei didn't stay for long. She walked straight out with a dozen maids and soon blended into the hustle and bustle of the street.
The shops along the street were all bright and clean, with the shop assistants in neat shorts busy greeting customers. There were many people gathered in front of each shop, and business was booming.
They first walked into a clothing store called "Jinxiu Pavilion". As soon as they entered the door, they were dazzled by the clothes in the room. The materials of the clothes felt smoother than those in the capital, but the prices were nearly 30% lower than those in the capital.
What was even more surprising was that there were several Western-style dresses placed in the corner, with narrow sleeves and waists, decorated with exotic patterns. Even the knowledgeable maid couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Among the pedestrians on the street, you can see many foreigners with high noses and deep eyes. Some of them are wearing their native costumes, while others have changed into local clothes and are chatting and laughing with the locals.
Shen Wei glanced at the shelves, randomly selected a few dresses, and said calmly: "Pack these up and send them to the Tianzi room of the inn."
The waiter beside him immediately responded with a smile, "Okay! Don't worry, it will be delivered to you within half an hour!"
After leaving Jinxiu Pavilion, Shen Wei turned and entered the "Linglong Pavilion" jewelry store next door.
As soon as you step into the store, the cabinets full of jewels and precious stones catch your eye.
The jade bracelet is so watery that it can transmit light, the pearl earrings are round and full, and even the silver jewelry is made exceptionally delicately.
There were also some exotic gemstones mixed in, which made it more innovative than the most famous jewelry store in the capital. The maids held their breath at the sight.
Shen Wei looked at the jewelry in front of him and thought to himself that the price was several cents cheaper than in Beijing.
She looked up at the waiter and asked calmly, "Are these gold and jewels real or fake?"
The guys nodded quickly and said:
"Don't worry, girl, the things here have been appraised by professionals.
If you are worried, you can ask someone to help identify it."
After hearing this, Shen Wei turned to look at the maid beside her.
The maid immediately stepped forward and carefully examined the jadeite. After a long while, she nodded and said:
"This one is indeed ice jadeite, and this one is sun green jadeite.
The quality of this is also excellent, it can be considered as top quality."
After Shen Wei heard the maid's words, he looked at the waiter again and said calmly, "Take out all the top-quality jadeite you have!"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately asked his clerk to go to the warehouse, and his actions were very quick.
After a while, a table full of things was placed in front of Shen Wei.
Not only are there various types of top-quality jadeite carved into ornaments, bracelets, and pendants, but there are also several rings inlaid with gemstones.
These things are translucent in color and have a warm luster, and are obviously top-quality goods.
Just as Shen Wei lowered his head to study, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Hey, Wanwan, why are you here?"
Shen Wei turned around when she heard the voice and saw Shen Tao standing not far away with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
She raised the corners of her lips slightly and was about to respond when Shen Tao interrupted her:
"I didn't expect you to like looking at these jewelry and jades?
It's rare to see you take the initiative to buy these. Tell me, what do you want today? I'll buy it for you."
Shen Wei quickly waved her hands and explained anxiously: "I don't want it, and I'm not Wanwan, I'm..."
Before he could finish his words, Shen Tao waved his hands nonchalantly, saying in a bold tone, "Tsk, why are you being so polite to me? Just pick whatever you like. If you like all of these, then buy them all!"
The shopkeeper beside him quickly stepped forward and quoted the price with a smile: "Sir, these things add up to a total of 60,000 taels."
"Isn't it just 60,000 taels?" Shen Tao didn't even raise his eyelids, and waved his hand to seal the deal: "It's a bargain! I'll buy it all, and you can pack it for me later."
He turned to look at Shen Wei and asked casually, "Where are you going next?"
Shen Wei replied: "I'm going back to the inn."
Shen Tao frowned, his tone a little puzzled:
"Why go back to the inn? You're not homeless!
Come on, come on, follow me back, let’s go back to the yard and have some barbecue.”
Without waiting for Shen Wei to react, he turned around and walked out the door.
Shen Wei was stunned in the spot. Before he could recover from his shock, he heard Shen Tao turning back and urging him: "Hurry up! What are you standing there for?"
Helplessly, Shen Wei had to follow Shen Tao and walked with him to a small courtyard.
Looking up, there are several houses with courtyards here, with green tiles and white walls, which look particularly elegant.
Shen Wei couldn't help but look around and asked curiously, "Are the houses here expensive?"
"It's not expensive, two thousand taels a set." Shen Tao answered casually, then gave her a puzzled look: "Don't you know? Why are you acting so strange today?"
Shen Wei took a deep breath, his tone a little anxious and serious: "I'm really not Bai Wanwan, I'm Shen Wei, I just came here from Bianjing."
Shen Tao's eyes suddenly widened, his face filled with shock: "What? You're really not Wanwan? But you two look exactly the same! Only the people around you are different..."
He scratched his hair, then suddenly clapped his hands, speculating, "Hey, I'm so blind I made a mistake! Could you be Wanwan's long-lost sister?"
Then a figure in official uniform walked in from the door. It was Bai Wanwan.
Shen Tao immediately waved his hands and shouted, "Wanwan! Come here quickly!"
Shen Tao pointed at Shen Wei and said, "Look, doesn't this person look very similar to you?"
Bai Wanwan looked in the direction he pointed, her eyes fell on Shen Wei's face, and her steps paused slightly.
Shen Wei also raised his eyes at the same time and looked at Bai Wanwan. The two almost identical faces faced each other, even the curvature between the eyebrows was almost the same.
Even Shen Wei herself couldn't help but be shocked. She really didn't expect that Bai Wanwan looked so similar to herself.
Bai Wanwan retracted her gaze, nodded gently at Shen Wei, and said, "Miss Shen, right? Welcome to Qingshui County."
Shen Wei also nodded in return and explained his purpose: "I want to buy a house here. How much silver will it cost? I want to get it done now."
She took out a wad of silver from her bag and handed it to Shen Tao: "Master Shen, this is the 60,000 taels of silver you just paid for my jewelry. Now I'm returning it to you."
Shen Tao took the silver and turned to look at Bai Wanwan, smiling and shaking the banknote in his hand:
"Hi, I originally wanted to buy this for Wanwan.
Wanwan, take a look at those jewels. If you like them, I’ll give them to you.”
Bai Wanwan shook her head gently, and said politely: "A gentleman does not take away what others like. I cannot accept these."
She turned to Shen Wei and added, "The houses here are 2,000 taels each. If you like one, you can just pay and go through the formalities."
Shen Wei smiled when he heard this and pointed in a direction not far away:
“I didn’t expect it to be so convenient.
I've taken a fancy to the house next door. Could you help me arrange it?"
