Acai's Sky

Chapter 391: Rosewood Dressing Box...



Chapter 391: Rosewood Dressing Box...

A Cai curiously followed Manager Wang to continue visiting the warehouse.

The warehouse was filled with all kinds of treasures, including hand-woven carpets, several exquisite jewelry boxes from the west corridor, and even some rare jade ores.

"There's still raw jade ore?"

A Cai fiddled with several pieces of raw ore the size of footballs in amazement, trying to feel the size and texture of the jade by touch.

Acai noticed that her mother Li Bijun did not follow them into the warehouse, but was busy outside loading items onto the carriage.

She raised her head and looked at Shopkeeper Wang: "Move all these carpets out, and move the ore as well..."

Shopkeeper Wang burst into tears of gratitude, clasped his hands together and said, "These goods have been shipped here for a long time, but they have never been sold. My store is not selling these things, but the other stores are selling them very well!"

"Problems with store decoration?"

Ah Cai's eyes rolled, and she suddenly asked, "Did your boss buy anything else?"

After thinking for a moment, Shopkeeper Wang replied, "Oh, yes, there are two pairs of white cats. I can't remember their names very clearly, but I remember that their eyes were different colors, one green and the other blue. They were very special..."

Hearing this description, Ah Cai immediately became interested: "If your boss wants to sell these two pairs of cats, you can send them directly to the General's Mansion."

Shopkeeper Wang went out and called someone to come in and move the carpet.

A Cai put one of the strange-looking mahogany jewelry boxes into her storage ring.

Then he looked at the remaining things and said to Shopkeeper Wang who came in, "Please help me move these things outside."

She walked out happily holding a music box.

Then, she picked up the abacus that Manager Wang had placed on the counter and started to fiddle with it, but in fact she didn't know how to use it, she just thought it was fun.

At this time, Li Bijun had already loaded all the goods. She turned around and asked Wang Xianghe, the shopkeeper, "We've added some carpets and other items this time. How much silver do we need to pay in total?"

Shopkeeper Wang replied with a smile, "These are calculated based on the purchase price, because I am also closing down the business, and I will have to go find our boss to buy more goods later."

He continued, "For all these things combined, you only need to pay 100,000 taels of silver. However, those glass ornaments are relatively more expensive..."

Ah Cai suddenly raised her head, an unhappy look on her face, and retorted, "The craftsmanship of Liuli is very simple, and you are selling it for such a high price!"

Shopkeeper Wang looked at Ah Cai in surprise and explained, "We specially purchased this colored glaze. The shopkeeper said the price was very high..."

Ah Cai rolled her eyes and checked her abacus, "I'll give you eighty-eight thousand eight hundred. Money, money, money..."

Shopkeeper Wang was choked and felt a pang of pain in his heart. Ten thousand taels were cut from his salary in an instant. He quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Okay, you have to give us a good price next time!" he said gritting his teeth.

Ah Cai waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "It's no big deal. Next time you have something, just send it directly to the General's Mansion. I'll buy it if I like it!"

She felt that she was rich and this little money was nothing.

Li Bijun was listening at the side, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.

This girl has no concept of money at all. She spends money like water. It's really infuriating and funny.

But she thought to herself that she still had to raise her daughter in wealth, as long as she was happy.

After all, the family has plenty of money, and she has earned a lot of dowry in the past few years, so let her spend it as she pleases!

Just then, a group of people walked into the store.

Leading the group was a young man and woman, followed by several guards and servants.

The young man was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and holding a jade folding fan in his hand, fanning himself in what he thought was a very cool way.

The girl next to her was wearing an elegant dress. Although she was not very old, she looked mature and steady, even a little pretentious.

Compared with Acai's aunt, she is exactly the same, a real green tea girl.

The young man smiled slightly and asked softly, "Boss, do you have any mahogany jewelry boxes here?"

Shopkeeper Wang was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head, indicating that he did not remember having such an item.

He then explained to the young man, "Sir, we have cleared out all the goods here. Everything has been bought by this lady and her daughter!"

Hearing this, the little green tea girl on the side suddenly became anxious.

Her eyes widened and she asked anxiously, "Where's the warehouse? Can I go over there and take a look?"

It seems that he is determined to get the so-called mahogany jewelry box.

Shopkeeper Wang glared at her and replied bluntly, "We're clearing out! Our store is closing, even the warehouse is empty!"

At this moment, Acai, who was sitting at the counter, suddenly heard the words "rosewood jewelry box" and immediately became interested.

She thought to herself that this somewhat odd mahogany box was exactly what they were looking for.

A Cai was very curious and wanted to find out what secrets this mahogany jewelry box was hiding.

At the same time, she began to doubt Xiao Lu Cha's identity. How did she know about the existence of this mahogany jewelry box?

The young man saw that Little Green Tea was getting anxious, and hurriedly tried to comfort her, "Didn't you say that the lady next door bought it? Just ask her to give it up."

He turned to Li Bi and asked, "Could the lady give us her mahogany dressing box?"

Li Bijun sat comfortably, she looked up at the imposing boy and girl.

"No, only the music box..."

Before she finished speaking, the little green tea hurriedly interrupted, "Impossible, we need to check it out!"

Li Bijun was about to lose her temper when she saw her daughter put her index finger to her lips, smiling and waiting to watch the show.

She sat still, shook her head and sighed, "There are dressing boxes, but none made of mahogany. They're all jewelry boxes in the west corridor..."

Little Green Tea pulled the boy's sleeve and said in a soft voice, "Let's check it out. What if it leaks?"

Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly stopped him, saying, "These goods have already been loaded. How can you pull them down again?"

The young man closed his fan and waved his hand to signal the guards to come forward and push Manager Wang aside.

The guards began to check the loaded carriages. They threw carpets on the ground and some were stepped on.

Shopkeeper Wang looked at the carpet he had carefully selected with heartache, but he still forced himself to hold back his anger because he knew that the lady in front of him was from the General's Mansion, so he could only endure it silently.

He patted his thigh and thought, yes, this lady is from the General's Mansion, there is no need to be afraid, so he decided to sit quietly aside and watch the show.

As time went on, the cargo on the carriage was thrown on the ground at random, and the originally neat and orderly cargo became a mess.

Carpets, raw stones, silk, glass ornaments, glass screens and other items were scattered on the ground, and some people even secretly hid some valuable items in their arms.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from afar, and the sound was getting closer and closer, as if indicating that another group of people was about to arrive.

"Da, da, da..."

Here comes another group of people!
