Chapter 20 A Glimpse
"Miss, you can leave the gift to some measured servants. Why do you have to go out in person?"
"The wedding date of Lingshuang's cousin and the prince has been set. I, as a cousin, am very happy. I haven't seen her for many years. It's reasonable to pick a gift for her. Li'er must not say anything, so as not to be heard and attract people."
The woman looked at the jade on the counter attentively. Her expression was soft and her tone was soft, but she was stunned to make the maidservant who had just spoke dare not say more.
"Yes, Li Er knows." He lowered his head slightly and was respectful.
The delicate jade finger slowly brushed all kinds of exquisite jade, and finally stopped in front of a crystal clear jade bracelet.
"Oh, Miss Lu really has a good vision. This jade bracelet is selected from a rare ore in the mine. After many fine grinding processes, each process is tedious and complex. She strives to make this jade bracelet flawless. If it is a gift, it will definitely amaze the audience!"
The shopkeeper's smile introduced the origin of the jade bracelet. This Miss Lu is the prime minister's daughter and the cousin of Princess Pearl. It goes without saying that she has a noble status. It is even more rare that she is gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable, and a beauty embryo. It is difficult to make people not look good.
Lu Xuejing listened to the shopkeeper's boast about the jade bracelet, and her warm and soft face seemed to always have a shallow smile, which did not eat the world's fireworks.
"Li Er, what do you think?"
"Little--Miss," in the face of the young lady who suddenly asked, the beauty made her a little stunned, and then she came over, "Of course, the jade bracelet you like is excellent!"
Hearing the words, the smile on the woman's lips seemed to be a little dizzy. Turning her head, Li Er seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance of Lu Xue.
It's the fragrance of water orchid rain. It's really a woman like this...
"Shopkeeper, what is the price of this jade bracelet?"
The shopkeeper was also happy when he heard it. "I can see that Miss Lu really likes this jade bracelet. Since it is predestined, how about selling it according to the purchase price of the store? Four thousand taels, no more than one point, no less."
Hearing this, the woman smiled at the corners of her mouth, but shook her head slightly.
"Three thousand taels." The diamond lips opened slightly, but it shocked everyone.
The shopkeeper's smile has restrained slightly, and he said in disbelief, "Miss Lu, don't joke. It's really true to buy this jade bracelet for three thousand taels..."
"If I'm not mistaken, this jade is Lanmo jade (Note 1). Although the jade quality is rare, it is not comparable to the peerless treasure as the shopkeeper said. As the shopkeeper said, the jade process is complex, and the value of Lanmo is exactly here. There are seven, seven or forty-nine processes, each of which needs to be thought about with the same skillful master, but According to the law of Chu, the salary of a technician is no more than 1,000 yuan.
She paused slightly and looked at the shopkeeper who had changed her face. She hooked her lips and continued, "Except the cost of processing the jade bracelet is 1,000 taels. The jade bracelet itself is made of 1,000 taels. I guess the price when the shopkeeper buys this jade will not exceed 2,4 taels. I gave 3,000 taels. Does the shopkeeper have any objection?"
He was still not angry. Listening to the woman's words, the shopkeeper could not say a word of rebuttal from the initial contempt to the later shock.
He wiped his sweat with his cuffs and sighed sincerely, "I didn't expect Miss Lu to be so knowledgeable. I admire her." Finally, he gritted his teeth cruelly, "Let's sell this jade bracelet at the price said by the lady."
"So, thank you to the store." Lu Xue Zhan smiled and said, "Li Er, pay the bill."
"Yes!" Li Er was really stunned. It was not until Lu Xue called her that she ran excitedly to take out the silver ticket.
Lu Xue smiled faintly and inadvertently swept the outside of the store. The crowd was bustling, but mediocre, and a slight mockery appeared in her eyes. Suddenly, a touch of surprise flashed quickly in the woman's eyes, and the whole body was stunned on the spot. It turned out to be a heavenly man!
Regardless of Li Er's surprise, she picked up her skirt and chased out. She looked up at the bustling streets and the crowds, and the man disappeared in the bustling streets as if he had never appeared before.
Looking at the eyes in front of her, there was no focus, and she didn't react for a long time. "What a beautiful person..." She muttered distracted, and a faint loss permeated her heart. Her hand unconsciously covered the beating position on her chest, which was unprecedented. For the first time, her heart hit like a deer...
"Master-----"
Looking at the man with brisk steps in front of him, Feng Xue stopped talking.
"Feng Xue, I don't remember when you became so awkward." With the things in his hand, Shui Yanhan seemed to be in a good mood, and even his tone was stained with a trace of lightness.
"My subordinates and subordinates want to say that if Miss sees her master doing this for her, she will be very happy."
"Real? That's good."
Feng Xue looked at the cold water in front of her. She didn't have to think that the man must have raised his mouth now. It seemed that he was infected by the man's pleasure. Feng Xue's eyes were also slowly stained with a smile, but when she turned her eyes to what was in the man's hand, his smiling face suddenly stiff.
What would she think if the young lady knew that the frightening blood valley soul-eating in the world was not doing the job of a murder spy now, but was urgently assigned to the Lord to the State of Qi to buy Fuji's fried dumplings?
With a deep sigh, he was even wondering if the master would let the soul-eating change his life to do other work one day?
On the street, the man's temperament is so respectable, which is different from the previous indifference. Now it is more and more eye-catching because of the vitality that belongs to the world. In this way, he is really alive...
The inner courtyard of the prince's house
In a pavilion in the middle of the lake, there are two people sitting around a table.
"Fifty thousand gold, no more than one point, no less, pay now."
Xi Xinmiao's hands trembled and trembled, with a bit of the attitude of a gangster who asked for debt.
"Damn it! I've never seen you so shameless. Do you understand a little subtle beauty?
When the crisis was resolved, Chu Yinhao naturally regained his stingy and poisonous tongue as usual, and immediately patted the table to protest.
"What's the matter? You don't recognize people, right? Well, I'll expose it later."
Together, Xi Xinmiao shook his hand and left, and was twisted by the fast-eyed Haozi.
"No, boss, how can you not admit it? I admit it. I've always admitted it. I'm just a little excited. It hurts my feelings to talk about money."
He rubbed and rubbed, trying to relieve it.
He glanced at someone with dog legs and suddenly pulled his lips and smiled, "Okay, let's not talk about money, just turn it into a silver ticket."
Continue to spread out your hands, the meaning is obvious.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chu Yinhao could only take out a pile of regular silver tickets from his arms like an appointment, "pop" and hit it into the woman's hand. He said angrily, "Insidious villain, take advantage of the fire to rob. You don't have to look for it. If you have more, you will be rewarded."
He took his seat and poured the wine. "I said, is your man hungry or frozen you? His family is not enough for you to smash?"
"You know nothing," Xi Xinmiao refuted softly. "What kind of woman is a woman who depends on a man? Of course, I have to raise a man. His is mine, mine or mine. Since it's all in my pocket, there is still a reason to think about a lot of money?"
Xi Xinmiao naturally asked back and poured a glass of wine.
Listening to these appalling words, Chu Yinhao was completely frustrated with "I convinced you", "Got! I know, the women in your family have to live like men and hold up a day for men to shelter from the wind and rain.
"That's to cultivate women's sense of self-reliance, do you understand?" Looking at the man opposite, shaking his head, the woman looked like "I know you don't understand" and raised her chin slightly.
Chu Yinhao slandered in his heart: I would rather not know all my life...
"That's right, that Xiao Bi..."
"It's Yunqing..."
"OK, it's him." Unintentionally delving into his name, Chu Yinhao looked at the woman and said, "How did you persuade him to help me? It is rumored that Mr. Biyun is a high-level man who doesn't even pay attention to anyone.
"Charm of personality."
Xi Xinmiao smiled, and someone exaggeratedly shook his body with an unbearable chill.
When it comes to debt, Xi Xinmiao is also in a good mood to explain his doubts. "Do you know that Mr. Biyun has a rule: if you want to see him, you must answer a question he set?"
"No, I heard that his question is very difficult, and no one has ever answered it correctly, so those who come here have never seen him." Chu Yinhao said like a memory, and suddenly looked like a ghost. He stared at her for a long time with a strange expression, "You don't want to say that you accidentally stepped on shit and answered it, did you?" His tone is a little sour~~
"I'm not someone. I can't think of the answer after stepping on shit." With that, Xi Xinmiao's eyes floated leisurely over someone, and the slightly hooked corners of his lips were a little dazzling. "Yes, after all, it's not a grade. It's understandable."
Chu Yinhao resisted the impulse to blow her head, and meditate in his heart several times. Don't be angry. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge!
Seeing someone's anger and dare not say anything, Xi Xinmiao was in a good mood and pouted at the empty wine glass to Haozi. When she saw Haozi's constipated face, she filled her with wine.
She nodded with satisfaction and continued the topic just now. "The guy gave a branch and put it in an exquisite box, and then asked the people here what the price of the branch was. For a moment, all kinds of prices surged out.
"What about you? What's the price you gave?"
The woman stretched out four fingers and said in the man's puzzled eyes, "Four words: all bullshit."
"It's all bullshit!"
In the man's unbelievable exclamation, Xi Xin nod his head and then shrugged his shoulders. "Their reaction is the same as yours, but the Lord sitting behind the curtain asked me to explain."
"Continue!" Haozi's sudden interest came, and he wanted to see how she resolved it.
"The price of an item is given because of its value. The reflection of that value is naturally important, which is not only important, but also changes. If you saw a branch on the street, would you think it was valuable? Just ignore it! If it is held in the hands of a child, it will also be thrown aside by adults. What's the value of abandoning it?
"But," she paused slightly, and Haozi's heart also raised her throat. "What if it is in the hands of a person with a head and a face? Do people still think it's not worth a pen? Especially when it was "deerifully" put into the exquisite box by Yunqing, in their mind, the branch has been automatically given the supreme aura. Therefore, the focus of the problem is not the branch, but the person who owns it.
"So, in fact, everything is the same. It's really a bloody reality."
Xi Xinmiao nodded approvingly and sighed, "So, this is what it is often said that an emperor's shit is also a good reason."
"..."
Chu Yinhao's forehead slipped into a cold sweat. Is there such a metaphor for her? However, he also understood the beginning and end of the matter.
