Chapter 995 The Decline of the Blood Tribe 30
First I found a jewelry store and sold all the outdated jewelry. Naturally, the store tried its best to lower the price, so Xining bargained.
"This is my grandmother's jewelry. Even though it is old, there is no such workmanship nowadays." Xining picked up a gold necklace.
The chain is made of gold and has a square hollow shape, with a gold flower pendant in the middle, which is very luxurious.
The shopkeeper picked up another pearl necklace and said, "But look at this one, how yellow it is. If you go on, you might think it's a stone."
Xi Ning pointed to the center of the three-ring pearl necklace: "Isn't it good for such a good gem to be so big? If the pearl is dark, you can find a way. I know you will find a way to renovate it. No matter how yellow it is, it is still a pearl. This pendant is not Glass. If you offer this price, don’t blame me for selling it in other stores or even other places. At worst, I won’t sell it. I’ll just play with the pearls.”
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment: "Otherwise, add five more silver coins. This is the final price. If it doesn't work, just take it."
"That won't work, give me seven, at least seven!" There have been several rounds of negotiations, they are almost done, and I am also hungry. If you say seven, if one says five, the deal will usually be made with six.
The shopkeeper shook his head: "Five!"
Xining: "Eight!"
The store owner... why does the price keep getting higher and higher: "Five, just five."
"Then..." Xining was about to say six words, but suddenly, there was a hurricane in the store, and the store owner in front of him disappeared.
You know who it is without saying anything. Dracula was waiting nearby. He was still wandering around the store, looking at other products. After looking at the goods, he sat idle and waited for the sale to end.
Again, Dracula is back, this time without raising the wind, after all, most of the things here are valuables.
Dracula stood there and said calmly: "Everything in this store belongs to you, take whatever you want."
Uh... Xi Ning's mouth twitched a little.
When he walked out of the store, Xining still carried the small cowhide box, but now it was heavy and filled with all kinds of goodies.
Dracula couldn't help but be a little funny: "If you encounter danger and run for your life, can you run away faster if you hold it? I feel that when you run away, you need to throw it away."
Xi Ning said cheerfully: "Throw it away when the time comes. While you are flying, I will throw it down. Maybe I can drag some people down."
Dracula only shook his head slightly, what a little money addict!
She was holding the box with both arms. She didn't expect that the box would be so heavy when it was full, weighing more than ten kilograms. After all, the gold jewelry inside weighs seven or eight pounds.
Seeing how hard she was moving, Dracula reached out his hand, grabbed the handle of the box, and took it.
As soon as I got it, the handle of the box fell off because the box was too heavy.
The box hit the ground with a heavy sound, like a big stone, with a "thud" sound.
Dracula could only bend down, pick up the box, and hold it like her. However, he clamped it easily with only one hand.
I walked to the car and put the box in. My dear, I felt the floor of the car vibrate slightly.
These are all treasures. Xining decided that if he couldn't take them away, he would find a safe place to store them. Or find a deserted place, dig a hole and bury it, and dig it out later.
Xining thought for a while: "Is there a bank nearby?" "Do you want to lend usury?" Dracula looked at her.
"I want to put these things in a safe place." Xining replied.
"The bank doesn't care about these things." Dracula thought for a while: "There is a place to put it, it's very safe."
"Let's go." Xining was very happy. After the body owner comes back, the jewelry in this box will be a very generous dowry.
"Not now, wait until later. Let's find a place to stay first!" Dracula stretched out his arm and let Xining help him get into the car, then sat in front of the car and drove.
I found a hotel that could park a carriage. In this big city, there were a lot of businessmen coming and going, so hotels and various service industries were quite developed.
As brother and sister, if you rent a second house and "have meals together" in the room, you won't be suspected.
Dracula still watched her eat. He may have been flying all morning today and he was a little tired, so he sat there and didn't speak. There is no entertainment here, no mobile phones, no games, what else can you do besides sit?
Reading? Hehe, books in this era were extremely expensive. There was no woodblock printing, let alone movable type printing. They were all handwritten copies. In an era when nobles were illiterate, many lords only had one scripture.
In many oil paintings, aristocratic women hold a book in their hands, which is full of appearance. It seems that she is an educated young woman, and the most important thing is that the book is expensive, which is similar to holding a piece of silver of the same weight to show that she is rich.
Even if you can afford books, the only ones you can buy are probably scriptures.
After lunch, Dracula asked her to take a nap and said he would call her in the evening.
After Xining washed up a little, he went to take a nap. After all, Dracula is nocturnal, so he has to take care of other people's living habits.
At night, sitting across from each other, after dinner, Dracula stood up: "Let's go!"
"Wait a moment!" Xining walked to the side and cleaned his teeth in the mirror: "Okay."
After going out, Dracula took her into the carriage. But the driver was not him, but the coachman who had just been hired. After all, Dracula looked so handsome, and it was obvious at a glance that he was not the coachman.
When he arrived at the clothing store, Dracula directly asked the boss to take out the most expensive dress, saying that he was going to a dance.
prom? A hint of excitement immediately arose in my heart. Xi Ning was secretly amused. After all, the owner was a sixteen-year-old girl who was locked up at home every day and had almost no social activities. The girls in the town are more social than her and can visit each other. And the Williams Manor is just like the ancient Vitonas house. They don't want to get close, so they stay as far away as possible.
After Xining put on the most expensive dress in the store, she looked in the mirror.
The boss stood nearby and kept praising her, but she was not satisfied: "It's too gorgeous."
Red with black edges, the cuffs and low neckline are decorated with circles of rose fabrics. Anna should wear this outfit, it would definitely look stunning. But she is not like this!
She turned to the dresses hanging on the shelf, looked through them one by one, and finally selected one. Ordinary, pea green long skirt. This kind of pea green is very beautiful, light, mixed with gray, not unassuming, and comfortable to look at.
"This one is appropriate, but the lady is going to a dance, so it's a bit too elegant." Of course the boss wanted to sell his most expensive red and black rose dress.
Xining didn't say anything. He went to the shelf and picked up two more items and threw them on the table: "Send these two items to the hotel."
"Okay!" the boss responded immediately. The most expensive one was not sold, but two more were sold immediately. There's nothing you can do if people don't like it, so don't force it.
