The jewelry set was something Xiao'er had seen while still in Nanyue County. A foreign merchant had been boasting about it to his friends and she had instantly recognized it as an imitation. But the imitation was exceedingly convincing, particularly the fake gems, which were made so well that they looked dazzling. Intrigued, she couldn't help but inquire about it, only to find that some aspects of the imitation were better than what the craftsmen of her own shop could produce.
Xiao'er asked the merchant from whom he had bought the jewelry and offered to buy it for him.

If possible, Xiao'er wanted to lure the person capable of making such a set of jewelry to be a craftsman in her shop. Of course, she would need to examine their character...
