The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband

Many wealthy people who were doing well in their hometowns only realized, after settling down in Beijing, that the little wealth they had was nothing in Beijing.

Moreover, there are many officials and people with connections to officials in the capital, and it is not as easy to get around in the capital as they imagine.

Especially when it comes to business, anyone who can do business in the capital must have a backer. Of course, those who sell wontons at street stalls don’t count.

During this period of time, the Shen family understood even more clearly that to do business in the capital, one must have connections.

The Shen family was considered a wealthy family in Linhe County, and everyone gave them face wherever they went. Although they were not looked down upon in the capital, no one took them seriously, and the whole family felt very uncomfortable.

When it comes to buying a house, you will know your own value even more. A small house in a good location that can accommodate a family and all the servants will cost several thousand taels.

Although the Shen family has some assets, everything in the capital requires money, and they can only spend money without earning any. This cannot go on in the long run.

The relatives of the Shen family who were beyond the fifth degree of mourning could not be relied upon. Only Mrs. Shen’s cousin Zhang Changrui expressed his willingness to provide them with some protection.

I helped them find a shop with a good location in Xishi, and also made some connections so that they could continue their old business and open a cloth shop in Beijing, but it was not as high-end as what they did in their hometown.

Zhang Changrui worked as the mayor of Taifu Temple, an official of the sixth rank. His daily duties were to coordinate the management of the East Market and the West Market and supervise various buying and selling activities, so it was a piece of cake to provide them with this convenience.

However, although it was effortless for Zhang Changrui and the two families were relatives, brothers still had to settle accounts clearly. If it weren't for him, it would not be easy for the Shen family to open a cloth shop in such a good location. It was reasonable for him to charge some hard work fees.

Besides, without his protection, this business wouldn't last long, so it's not too much to take 70% of the Shen family's net profit! The Shen family should thank him.

However, after the Shen family members witnessed the extravagance and prosperity of the capital, and the even more serious flattery and bullying than in their small place like Linhe County, they became more determined to stay in the capital and live a life of luxury.

Moreover, when he thought about the fact that Jingguo was currently at war, Mr. Shen couldn't help but boast about how he had a unique vision and was sharp enough. Although everyone said that Jingguo would definitely win, who knew what would happen in the future? Anyway, staying in the capital was definitely the safest.

When Shen Jingyu lived in Linhe County, she loved fine clothes, jewelry, rouge and powder. After arriving in the capital and visiting various clothing and jewelry shops, she realized what rags she had worn before were.

Although she couldn't afford them now, she still liked to go shopping. While shopping, she would fantasize about marrying a rich man or an official in Beijing, and then all these good things would be hers.

That day, Shen Jingyu took Shen Jingxin and her maid out shopping and came to Linglong Pavilion, which was said to be the most high-end jewelry store in the capital.

Linglong Pavilion is very large and has a lot of jewellery, and is divided into different areas according to the grade of the jewellery.

The waiter in the store sees a lot of customers coming in every day, and he can tell at a glance what level the customers who come in are and what kind of things they can afford.

In the waiter's mind, the sisters Shen Jingyu and Shen Jingxin were originally worth between fifty and two hundred taels. However, as soon as Shen Jingyu entered the door, she arrogantly told the waiter to just take out the good ones, so the waiter took them to the area of ​​one hundred to three hundred taels.

Then he took out a brocade tray, on which were placed jewelry boxes, containing various jadeite, gold, silver, gemstones, jade, pearl jewelry...

Each one is exquisitely crafted, and the two sisters really like them all.

Shen Jingxin couldn't help but pick up a pair of pearl earrings and said, "Third sister, look at this pair of pearl earrings. They are so beautiful. Not only are the pearls shiny, but there is also a circle of petal-shaped gold wire around them. It looks like a blooming flower wrapping the pearls in the middle. It's really ingenious."

Shen Jingyu glanced at it and said disdainfully, "Small family stuff, this gold hairpin is much more beautiful, the plum blossom carved on the hairpin head looks like a real one, and the yellow sapphire in the center of the flower is crystal clear, gold and gems are really luxurious."

Shen Jingxin was unhappy, but she still flattered him, "Third sister, you have good taste. This gold hairpin is indeed much more beautiful than the pearl earrings."

The waiter at the side interrupted at the right time, "Both ladies have good taste. This lady has fair skin, and these pearl earrings will set off her complexion better. It would not be as suitable for others as it is for you."

"This young lady is graceful and elegant, and she is indeed more suitable for a gold hairpin. This gold hairpin is the most fashionable style in the capital, and it is simple and elegant yet noble."

A few words made the two sisters feel comfortable, especially Shen Jingyu, who usually boasted of her nobility. At this time, she raised her chin and asked, "You are good at talking. How much silver do these two pieces of jewelry cost?"

The waiter also saw that Shen Jingyu was the boss among the two young ladies, and said attentively: "This gold hairpin is 288 taels, and this pair of pearl earrings is 198 taels."

"You two are both here for the first time, so I'm offering you the lowest price. I'm also trying to attract you as a customer. We at Linglong Pavilion have always been doing repeat business."

"What? So expensive!" The maid beside couldn't help but shout.

In fact, Shen Jingyu and Shen Jingxin also thought so, but they couldn't be so blunt in front of the waiter, as it would make them seem ignorant and poor.

Shen Jingyu glared at the maid fiercely, and the maid was so scared that she immediately lowered her head and dared not speak again.

The waiters naturally saw all of these eye contact and lawsuits, and they also understood that they could not afford it, but he still had to say what he had to say.

"Oh, young lady, I have to refute what you said. Jewelry of this quality is not expensive in Linglong Pavilion."

"Take this gold hairpin for example. The gold used is pure red gold of the best quality. Red gold is rare and precious. Moreover, the craftsman who made this hairpin is one of the most skilled craftsmen in the capital. Every pattern on it is so lifelike. Not to mention the silver, even if there is more, it is still worth it."

"And this pair of pearl earrings. The pearls on them are all top-quality goods after careful selection. They are round, plump, and shiny. Pearls are not easy to grow, and those of this quality are even rarer. As for the exquisite craftsmanship of the craftsman, I won't go into details. You can see that he didn't lie at all when he asked for this much money..."

No matter how much Ren Xiaoer talked, the two sisters remained silent and had no intention of buying it. It was not because they didn't like it or felt it was not worth it.

They had already been tempted by the waiter's words and the jewellery which looked more and more beautiful, but they simply did not have that much money.

The waiter said everything he needed to say, and complained in his heart that he had no money but was told to take out all the good things as soon as he entered the door, which was a waste of his words and efforts.

But it was just a thought in his mind, and he still had a smile on his face. The most important thing in their line of work is not to offend any customer. Maybe the customer you look down on today will become rich one day.

Then she said, "If these don't seem to be suitable, I'll take out some jewelry from the side area for you to see."

As he spoke, he carefully put the tray of jewelry back and picked out another tray of jewelry from the counter next to him. This time he directly chose some low-priced ones, and the most expensive one was no more than one hundred taels.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Anyone can tell at a glance that the new jewelry is not of the same quality as the previous ones.

Although the waiter didn't say that they couldn't afford it and his attitude was always nice, the two sisters, especially Shen Jingyu, couldn't stand it and felt extremely embarrassed.

She said stubbornly, "What do you mean, waiter? Didn't we say we didn't want the gold hairpin and pearl earrings? You just replaced them with this. Do you think we can't afford it? I have plenty of money, but I just think those two items are not good enough. After taking a closer look, I don't like them very much."

"Yes! Yes! Miss, you are right. I have no other intentions. I just saw that you don't like them very much, so I changed them for you. If you still don't like these, I will show you a few other ones."

The waiter flattered her verbally, but he was complaining in his heart, saying that he didn't like it. Just now, your eyes almost fell on the gold hairpin. You just couldn't afford it, but you still pretended to be a big shot. Who told you to change it directly? Didn't you stop when I changed the jewelry?

However, he hasn't made any deal today. He has spent so much time on these two sisters, he must make a deal, even if it's just for a few dozen taels, the waiter thought to himself.

At this time, there was a commotion at the door, and a young man in gorgeous clothes, followed by his entourage, was surrounded by several waiters and walked into the store.

Accompanied by a voice saying, "Hey! Butler Shen is here, please come in!"
