Chapter 800 Glass (5)
The capital city is worthy of being the imperial capital. Its prosperity is unmatched by other places. The streets alone are more than twice as wide as those in Qing County. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and pedestrians are everywhere. It is noisy and bustling.
Pedestrians of all kinds on the road are talking and laughing. Some are wearing silk and satin, some are wearing coarse linen clothes, and occasionally one or two foreigners dressed strangely can be seen walking on the street. Shouts and hawking sounds come and go, which shows that the national strength of Dajin is still good. At least the people in the capital city live and work in peace.
Caiwei found the "Treasure Pavilion". When the shopkeeper saw her, he walked out of the counter in fear and wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Caiwei.
"Shopkeeper, I don't want people to know my identity. Just bring the set of jewelry I ordered."
The shopkeeper heard it and hurriedly ran upstairs and took down several exquisitely crafted brocade boxes.
"Princess, are you satisfied with it?"
The shopkeeper opened a round brocade box, which contained a beautiful diamond necklace. The shape of the necklace was different from the necklaces of this era. It was a thin gold chain with a rose-shaped pendant at the bottom. The rose pendant was made of gold and inlaid with dozens of tiny diamonds. It was really brilliant and dazzling!
The necklace was well made and exquisitely crafted. It was exactly the same as required on the drawing. There was no flaw. It was obvious that it was made by a master craftsman. Even in the era when it was given to Caiwei, it could be called a fine jewelry.
Caiwei was very satisfied and opened several other boxes. The bracelets, earrings, hairpins, and step-shakes inside were all equally delicate and exquisite. After collecting several pieces of jewelry and walking out of the "Treasure Pavilion", she walked for a while and found "Yao Ji Joinery". She planned to order the furniture she designed here.
Seeing that there were guests coming, the Yao Ji's clerk enthusiastically invited Cai Wei inside. After Cai Wei sat down, she asked the clerk to invite their shopkeeper.
She wanted to use the golden nanmu and sandalwood in the space to make furniture for her boudoir. These woods were more expensive than gold, so she naturally had to be careful. Therefore, she planned to make a set of rosewood according to the drawings to test their craftsmanship. If their craftsmanship was really good, it would not be too late to give them her precious woods!
When the shopkeeper came over, he saw Cai Wei's drawings and was amazed at the furniture designed by Cai Wei, and agreed to it.
Cai Wei paid a deposit of 100 taels of silver in advance, agreed to pick up the goods in a month, and left.
It was almost noon, and Cai Wei had almost finished shopping, so she hired a car to go to her own cloth shop to find Cai Fei. Today, she planned to invite her sister to the restaurant for a meal alone to relive the scene of going out with her girlfriends in her previous life.
Caifei was naturally very happy to see her sister. She said something to Nanny Xiu, and followed Caiwei out with Huanqiu.
Feier was dressed very beautifully today. She wore a very festive pomegranate red floral gold brocade jacket, a floor-length plum blossom and phoenix tail, and a hundred-flower bun on her head. On the bun was only a light pink pearl flower made of dozens of pink pearls, which was really beautiful.
Caiwei saw that her sister was so beautiful, and she couldn't help but praise her happily. Caifei lowered her head shyly, and a thin blush appeared on her face.
In order to celebrate Feier's birthday, Caiwei specially booked the best private room at the 'Jufude' restaurant while shopping just now, intending to give Caifei a surprise!
Jufude Restaurant is the most famous restaurant in the capital, and the first choice for dignitaries to dine out. Although the food and drinks here are more expensive than those in other restaurants, the chef's cooking skills are superb and the food he makes is much more delicious than that in other restaurants. Therefore, even though it is expensive, it is often full at noon.
