Chapter 97: Liulichang

“I told you it was good.” Bai Lina raised her eyebrows smugly.

Mother Bai nodded her head in agreement. “Invite Su Jinyue to our place another day.”

“Okay! Then what about my shop?” Bai Lina asked happily. If her mother wanted to meet Jinyue, it meant that she was curious about Jinyue.

“I have no objections. I’ll get someone to see if there are any suitable shops tomorrow.” Mother Bai looked at the packet of facial cleansing powder on the sink. “Do you have a lot of facial cleansing powder? Give Mom a pack.” Usually, she would put on some light makeup when attending banquets. It would be much easier to remove her makeup with facial cleansing powder.

“Yes, I’ll go get it for you.” Bai Lina smiled as she walked outside. She knew that her mother would definitely like Jinyue’s products.

She took a packet of facial cleansing powder and a bottle of fragrant body pills and handed them to Mother Bai. “Mom, don’t forget about the shop. I’ve already promised Jinyue.”

“Got it!” Mother Bai smiled as she took the facial cleansing powder and the fragrant body pills. She looked up at the clock on the wall. “Aiyo, it’s already three o’clock. I have to hurry and get ready.” As she spoke, she quickly walked out of the door.

When she reached the door, Mother Bai seemed to have thought of something. She turned around and said, “Nana, can you ask Su Jinyue if she has the product that can remove wrinkles?” Wrinkles were her greatest enemy.

“Alright,” Bai Lina smiled as she replied. Her mother was so fond of Jinyue’s products, so the other aunties would definitely like it if they found out. At that time, would she and Jinyue’s shop still have to worry about not having any business in the future?

The streets were bustling with people and cars.

Zhan Yihan held Su Jinyue’s hand and brought her to the famous Cultural Street in the Capital, Liulichang . This street originated from the Qing Dynasty. At that time, most of the people who came to the Capital to take the imperial examination lived here. Hence, there were many shops selling books, ink, paper, and inkstone, forming a strong cultural atmosphere.

The reason why Su Jinyue chose to come here was because other than the bookstore, Liulichang had antique shops, and antiques were antiques. Now that the market had just been reformed, there weren’t that many fake antiques. The most important thing was that the prices were still cheap. If she collected some now, she would be rich in the future.

In her previous life, she had collected a lot of antiques after she had gotten rich. However, there were too many fake antiques in her previous life. If not for the professionals helping her, she would have been fooled countless times.

“Yihan, let’s go take a look at that shop,” Su Jinyue said as she pointed at an antique shop called “Ruicheng House”.

“Okay!” Zhan Yihan smiled and nodded.

When they walked into Ruicheng House, they saw that there was no one else in the shop apart from an old man who was reading a book. Although the standard of living in the capital was higher than in other cities, everyone was busy earning money now. How could they have the leisure to shop? Even if they had money, it was because they had some money at home and did not have to worry about food and clothing.

There were many porcelain, calligraphy paintings, ancient sabers, and jade artifacts in the shop.

“Do you know about stuff like this?” Zhan Yihan asked softly beside Su Jinyue’s ear. He knew nothing about antiques, but it was fine as long as Jinyue liked them.

“A little,” Su Jinyue said with a sly smile. She had just asked the Little Elf. The Little Elf said that as long as she activated her Wisdom Eye, she could recognize antiques.

Su Jinyue opened her Wisdom Eye and scanned the store. Her eyes widened in surprise. She realized that there was a layer of faint color on the surface of many things. There were many colors, with more red, orange, yellow and green. There were also green-blue and blue. The color that was least available was a purple color. Only a rusty short sword emitted a faint purple glow.

“Little Elf, what’s going on?” Su Jinyue asked in surprise.

“Master! Those with colors are antiques. However, since the age of antiques is different, the colors presented will be different. Red is from the modern era, orange is from the end of the Qing Dynasty, yellow is from the mid of the Qing Dynasty, and so on.”

“Does that mean that purple is the oldest?” Su Jinyue immediately understood what the Little Elf meant. In her heart, she was already planning to buy that rusty short sword.

“Purple means that it is not only ancient, but it could also be a magical artifact, just like that rusty dagger. It looks unremarkable, but once the sheath is opened, it could be a divine weapon that can slash iron like mud.”

Su Jinyue smiled and pulled Zhan Yihan to the rusty short sword. She picked up the short sword and took a look. Although the short sword was rusty, the blade was still very sharp.

“Yihan, take a look at this short sword.” Su Jinyue passed the short sword to Zhan Yihan.

Zhan Yihan took the short sword from her and examined it carefully. A look of surprise flashed across his eyes. This short sword looked unremarkable, but he could tell that it was a good short sword. As long as it was slightly polished, it would definitely be sharper than his dagger.

Su Jinyue saw the look in Zhan Yihan’s eyes and knew that he liked it. She smiled and looked at the old man who was reading a book. “Boss, how much is this su jinyue?”

The old man looked up. “One hundred.”

“Can it be cheaper?” Su Jinyue asked. A hundred yuan was about a month’s salary in the Capital.

“Everything in this shop cannot be bargained. If you want to buy it, then buy it. If you don’t want to buy it, then put it down,” the old man said indifferently.

Su Jinyue smiled.?This boss has quite a personality.?She took out ten 10 yuan notes and walked to the old man, handing them to him. “Then I’ll buy it.” The short sword shone with a faint purple glow. 100 yuan was a huge bargain for her.

“Let’s go somewhere else to take a look.” Su Jinyue walked to Zhan Yihan’s side and held his hand as they walked out. Initially, she had wanted to buy more antiques, but now she had changed her mind. She wanted to buy antiques with purple glows.

Not long after Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan left, a middle-aged man walked into Ruicheng House. He walked to the place where the short sword was originally placed and realized that it was gone. He looked around but did not find it. “Boss, where’s the short sword that was here?” He had come to take a look previously, but he did not bring enough money with him, so he went back to get more. He did not expect that it would be gone when he returned.

“Sold,” the old man said calmly.

“Sold? Who did you sell it to?” The middle-aged man frowned. That was not an ordinary sword. He had to get it back.

“A pair of young people,” the boss replied before focusing his attention on the book in his hand.

The middle-aged man immediately turned around and left the store. No matter how much he had to pay, he had to buy the short sword back.

After exiting Ruicheng House, Su Jinyue kept the short sword in her storage pouch. She would slowly study it with Yihan when they returned.

After visiting a few more shops, Su Jinyue did not see a single item with a purple glow. She could not help but feel disappointed, but she also understood how difficult it was to find something with a purple glow.

“Are you hungry? Why don’t we have something to eat before we continue shopping?” Zhan Yihan looked at Su Jinyue. Seeing that her hair was a little messy, he reached out to help her tidy it up.

“Okay!” Su Jinyue smiled and nodded.

“I know a shop with very delicious dumplings. I’ll bring you there.” Zhan Yihan held Su Jinyue’s hand and walked forward.

“Please wait a moment!” A low voice came from behind them.
