Li Mingxia had been to this shop before, but no one looked up to him at that time, and he couldn't even see a waiter when he entered the shop. But now it is very different. After Li Mingxia brought Zhang into the shop, the silver shopkeeper of the jewelry store immediately recognized that this was Madam Li, the owner of Mingyue Tower, and greeted her warmly.

"How come Miss Li is so free today? It is said that the food in Miss Li's Mingyue Tower will make people want to eat it a second time after eating it once, but it's a pity that they have never had the chance to try it." Shopkeeper Yin glanced at Zhang who was standing next to Li Mingxia. The two people had similar faces, and they were so close, so he guessed Zhang's identity.

"Is this Miss Li's mother? You can tell at a glance at this lady's temperament, she is so graceful and elegant!" Shopkeeper Yin kept saying nice things one after another as if they were free.

Li Mingxia was fine, but Zhang's face was already red with embarrassment. But as the saying goes, who doesn't like to hear nice words?

Li Mingxia couldn't help but smile secretly when he saw his mother like this, and said that he should take his mother out for walks more often and listen to others praising his mother for how happy she was. He said that even if his family members said a hundred words, they might not have the same effect as one or two words.

As for him, Zhang didn't quite believe the praise her family members said about her and thought Li Mingxia and the others were just trying to fool her.

"Shopkeeper Yin, originally my mother and I just wanted to come in and take a look, and had no intention of buying anything. But now that you've said that, and seeing how happy my mother is, she might as well buy one or two pieces." Li Mingxia said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Yin was even happier. "It doesn't matter whether Miss Li buys or not. You've given me honor by coming into this store. Jade, quickly take Miss Li and Madam Li to sit down, serve them tea, and then take out the good stuff in the store for the two distinguished guests to look at!"

This kind of treatment is probably equivalent to the VIP treatment in a counter in modern society, Li Mingxia thought.

However, in this town, even if I am not particularly rich, I am still one of the well-known people. The service provided by the shopkeeper is not out of the ordinary, and I am worthy of it now.

Zhang looked a little embarrassed, as if she felt that this was too much of a fuss.

Li Mingxia noticed her mother's anxiety, and gently patted her hand. While the silver shopkeeper and a few young men were taking things, she whispered, "Mom, there is no one else buying things at this time except you and me. We are not here for nothing. If there are really good things suitable, I really want to buy a few. Don't worry. We are different now. Buying a few pieces of jewelry is nothing. If you like anything later, just keep it. Your daughter is rich."

Li Mingxia's words completely calmed Zhang's heart. She nodded, thinking that in a dozen days it would be her eldest son's good day, and she should indeed buy one or two things to show off her talent.

While Li Mingxia and Zhang were talking, the silver shopkeeper came over with his assistants holding several large boxes.

"Miss Li, Madam Li, sorry for keeping you waiting. These things are the best things in our store. If it weren't for distinguished guests, they would not be put out easily. Please take a look and see if there is anything you like." Shopkeeper Yin placed all the mahogany boxes they brought on the table and opened them one by one. The contents were presented to Li Mingxia and Zhang.

Apart from anything else, when Shopkeeper Yin said these things were “good stuff”, he was not lying.

In the box in the front was a row of five golden hairpins.

Some have a phoenix holding a pearl, some have a peacock spreading its tail, some have a magpie climbing a tree branch, some have five blessings coming to the door, and some have an immortal holding a peach. Each one is exquisitely made and made entirely of pure gold.

Li Mingxia had never seen such good things in this store before. Just like what the shopkeeper Yin said, these things would only be taken out when distinguished guests came, and would not be shown to others easily.

Zhang is also a woman. Although she is old, she still likes these golden and shiny things. At this moment, she can't take her eyes off the five gold hairpins in the first box.

"How about it, Madam Li? These hairpins are very suitable for you. They look elegant and are made of pure gold. There are also gold-plated items in the store, but those items are not for you, Madam. I know that they are not worthy of your status, so I didn't take them."

"Take a look at this." Shopkeeper Yin opened the box next to him. Inside was a pair of gold bracelets inlaid with jade, and in another box was a pair of mutton-fat white jade bracelets.

The boxes were opened one by one, and colorful jewelry appeared in front of everyone. Among them was a hairpin that Li Mingxia fell in love with at first sight.

"Bring this hairpin over here." Who was the silver shopkeeper? He was the most observant person, and when he saw Li Mingxia's eyes fall on the hairpin, he immediately understood.

Li Mingxia definitely likes this one!

This hairpin is the most expensive one here, and the shopkeeper suddenly became excited.

This is a hairpin made of pearls and gems strung with gold thread, put together to make the appearance of several flowers blooming together, with different colors and varying degrees of blooming. The stamens inside can be seen. It is made of gold, silver threads and broken gems of various colors that are stuck on little by little. A slight shake gives off a misty glow that is dazzling.

Such good stuff is rare in the town, let alone the capital. I don’t know where this silver shopkeeper got it, but he must have some skills.

"Are there any others? Just this one? Do you have a matching one?" Li Mingxia reached out and took the hairpin. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He thought that there shouldn't be only one such good thing. If there were others, Li Mingxia would also like to take a look at them.

When the shopkeeper saw Li Mingxia's expression, he knew that he had almost certainly won the deal, and he said with some regret, "This thing is very valuable, and it can be regarded as the treasure of our store. Just the hairpin in your hand costs six hundred taels of silver, and there is really no matching set. If Miss Li wants to have a complete set, you can also take a look at the others, which are also very exquisite. You will definitely not be disappointed."

Li Mingxia probably knew the answer in his heart. The shopkeeper had already taken out the silver hairpin. If there were other good things, why wouldn't he take them out as well?

Six hundred taels of silver was not bad and within his acceptable range. However, it was indeed because of this hairpin that Li Mingxia was so tempted, otherwise he would still have hesitated a little at this price.
