"Yellow, gold?"
Mother Zheng's heart skipped a beat.
But the nice words had already been said, and now she could only bite the bullet and smile: "It's not impossible."
Several counters around were selling gold jewelry. All kinds of golden jewelry were neatly arranged, dazzling the eyes.
Zhao Qingqing asked Zheng Hongjie with a half-smile: "It's rare that Auntie is so kind to me. I'll forgive you for once. Do you have any objection to buying gold jewelry?"
"Uh, of course not."
Seeing that she was no longer determined to break up, Zheng Hongjie breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you like it, buy it."
Zhao Qingqing usually likes to wear jewelry from top brands, but seldom buys gold jewelry.
Although the price of gold is high recently, it shouldn’t cost much to buy a gold necklace, a few thousand dollars at most.
Zhao Qingqing walked straight to the gold cabinet display stand, lowered her head slightly, and checked them one by one.
"Gold is indeed more valuable. Since Auntie has chosen me as your daughter-in-law and plans to get along well with me in the future, why don't we pick out the hardware for the wedding today?"
Mother Zheng: "Hardware?"
Zhao Qingqing: "Yes, it's hardware for the bride."
Mother Zheng looked a little unnatural: "Three golds are popular in our place...earrings, rings, and necklaces."
Zhao Qingqing smiled: "Auntie, what era is it now? The three golds are too shabby. In our hometown, we only wear hardware. A necklace, a ring, earrings, a pair of bracelets..."
"Oh, by the way, do you know the betrothal gift in our family? It's not high, three hundred thousand is enough."
what?
Mother Zheng was so shocked that she was speechless.
The bride price is actually 300,000 yuan? And they also ask for hardware. This is too much!
Zhao Qingqing: "Why? Auntie seems to be very hesitant. Isn't a daughter-in-law as outstanding as me worthy of these?"
Mother Zheng said anxiously, "Of course you are excellent...but...can we talk about money?"
Zhao Qingqing ignored him and started picking on her own.
She pointed with her fair hand: "Take out the pair of bracelets in the middle so I can see them."
"Ok."
The salesgirl carefully took out a pair of golden bracelets.
The style is simple, and the gold bracelet is polished to a matte finish and is very heavy.
"Ma'am, this bracelet is a pair, perfect for a wedding! It's especially festive, and the style is simple and elegant, so you can wear it everyday."
Mother Zheng trembled as she walked to the counter and saw the label on the bracelet: "49,000 for a pair of bracelets?"
The salesgirl corrected him with a smile: "49,000 is the price for one, 98,000 for a pair, and comes with a gift box. It's a good deal to buy now!"
Zheng's mother felt a darkness before her eyes. A pair of bracelets cost nearly 100,000 yuan. How was this different from robbery?
“Is gold so expensive now?”
The salesgirl smiled and said, "This is polished by hand using the ancient method, and every gram has a labor fee added to it."
Zheng Hongjie was also stunned watching from the side.
It’s okay to choose gold jewellery, but it doesn’t say to choose something so expensive!
Zhao Qingqing had already gotten started, with a round golden bracelet on her fair wrist.
"Hongjie, does it look good?"
Zheng Hongjie: "Uh, it's okay. Qingqing, how about we..."
He felt bad and had no intention of buying such an expensive item.
He didn't have much money in his card now, and this pair of bracelets was simply killing him.
The salesgirl said to Zhao Qingqing in a flattering manner: "Ma'am, this style is especially suitable for you! It not only makes you look noble, but also makes you look younger. Nowadays, gold jewelry is not popular with fancy styles. This style is the most popular among young people!"
Mother Zheng looked at the shiny bracelet on her wrist and regretted bringing up this topic.
She walked to the other side of the counter and saw a hollow gold bracelet in the corner. The price tag was only 2000. Zheng's mother's eyes lit up instantly.
"Qingqing, come and look at this."
Mother Zheng glanced around the counter and saw that this was the cheapest bracelet.
"I think this one is good too! Take this out and try it on."
The female shopping guide knew which one she was talking about after just one glance, and reluctantly opened it and took it out, "Auntie, this style is hollowed out, and it's a little thin, not thick."
Mother Zheng: "Why do you need something so heavy? It feels heavy when you wear it. This light one is better."
Zhao Qingqing only glanced at the paper-thin hollow gold bracelet and said, "I don't like it."
Mother Zheng smiled and said, "Qingqing, we are not prepared for going out today. It is too sudden for you to buy such an expensive bracelet. How about this, auntie will pay for the bracelet as a gift for you! Anyway, gold is for good luck, why buy such an expensive one? It will be a pity to lose it."
"Don't worry, my things will never be lost."
Zhao Qingqing glanced at the thin, small, shabby bracelet and said, "The price of gold is over 800 yuan now. I don't know how many grams are used in this bracelet. I'm afraid people will laugh at me for wearing such a shabby thing."
The shopping guide smiled brightly and brought out an exquisite matching box.
"Ma'am, do you need to wrap the bracelet on your hand?"
"Well, wrap it up."
Zhao Qingqing turned around and gave Zheng Hongjie a look, "What are you standing there for? Swipe your card."
Zheng Hongjie didn't move.
He looked conflicted, his eyebrows were all furrowed.
"Qingqing, be rational. Don't be impulsive about this."
Zhao Qingqing: "I bought this for my wedding, how can it be an impulse purchase? I originally planned to buy all the hardware, but I haven't seen any necklaces or rings that I like yet, so just buy the bracelet for me first."
She looked at the dazzling array of items on the counter: "Actually, gold suits me quite well! I used to think it looked old-fashioned and tacky, but now I think it's quite beautiful. Thanks for the reminder, Auntie. This is much better than the diamond necklace just now."
The salesgirl was very clever and recommended again: "Madam, this bracelet has matching rings and earrings. Can I take them out and show them to you?"
When these words were spoken, Zheng Hongjie and his mother felt as if they were struck by lightning.
"Wait a minute!"
At this rate, Zheng Hongjie's bank card would be completely exhausted.
