Chapter 799 - 800 Glass(5)_1
The Capital truly deserved to be the Imperial City, its prosperity unmatched elsewhere. Its streets were more than twice the width of those in Qing County, with shops lining both sides, people bustling about, noisy and bustling, a whole atmosphere of liveliness.
The diversely attired pedestrians on the road were laughing and talking. Some were dressed in silk and satin, some wore coarse linen clothes, and occasionally one could spot one or two strangely dressed individuals from foreign tribes swaying as they walked down the street. The shouts of hawkers and the calls of salesmen echoed back and forth. This demonstrated that the power of the Great Jin was still reliable, at least the citizens of the capital were living a life of peace and prosperity.
Cai Wei found the ’Zhenbao Pavilion’. Seeing her, the shopkeeper came out from behind the counter with a sincere look of awe; he seemed about to kneel in reverence, but Cai Wei quickly stopped him.
"Shopkeeper, I don’t want people to know my identity. All I need you to do is quickly get me the set of jewelry I ordered."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper hurried upstairs and brought back several finely crafted brocade boxes.
"Princess, would you tell me if you find these satisfactory?"
The shopkeeper opened a round brocade box. It held a remarkably beautiful diamond necklace, different from the necklaces of this era. It was a delicate gold chain with a rose-shaped pendant at the bottom. The rose pendant, made of gold and inlaid with dozens of small diamonds, was truly radiant and eye-catching!
The craftsmanship of the necklace was excellent, the work exquisite, identical to the blueprint and without a single flaw. It was clearly the work of a master craftsman and would indeed have been considered a piece of fine jewelry in Cai Wei’s era.
Cai Wei was very satisfied and opened the rest of the boxes. The bracelets, earrings, and hairpins, were all equally detailed and without a single flaw. She collected the set of jewelry, left the ’Zhenbao Pavilion’, and after a while, found ’Yao Ji’s Fine Woodworking’, planning to have the furniture she had designed made here.
