Chapter 118: Flesh Pain
On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, Qingju Zhu Guo prolonged his life. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the Double Ninth Festival, dogwood, chrysanthemum, eating Chongyang cake, enjoying the Chongyang Festival, the streets and alleys are all a lively and extraordinary scene.
Zhou Huaiyu knew that today was the treasure appreciation meeting of the Treasure Pavilion, and he also made an appointment with Song Yun to come to the Treasure Pavilion to join in the fun, so when he heard that the Su family and others were also here, he got into the carriage without saying a word. After all, the carriage with the sign of the Marquis of Wu'an opened the road, and even if the street was crowded, the carriage still moved quickly and slowly, much faster than walking.
When they arrived at the place, the clever little man who had already had the Treasure Pavilion nodded his head and flattered him a lot, and only then did he introduce Yan and the others into the private room on the second floor. Just looking at this treatment, Zhou Huaiyu could guess that the Yan family and the Su family had invested a lot of silver in the Treasure Pavilion over the years.
As the so-called gold and silver are priceless and jade is priceless, the Treasure Pavilion sells jade and other jewelry, and it is not an exaggeration to make gold every day.
Zhou Huaiyu sat in the private room, looking at the entrance on the first floor, from time to time there were little servants leading the brightly dressed ladies and ladies to the private room on the second floor, looked at it for a while, suddenly widened his eyes, and then stood up suddenly and walked downstairs.
The little guy in this Treasure Pavilion is really eyeless, and when he meets someone who is nothing, he respects him as a guest, but when the real nobleman comes, he turns a blind eye.
The person sitting in the corner of the hall downstairs was none other than the third princess Zhao Rui.
Zhou Huaiyu ran directly to the third princess and was about to salute, but was stopped by the third princess. "Yu'er, you're here too. ”
"Princess, ...... you" Zhou Huaiyu lowered his voice and gestured, meaning why he was sitting here.
The third princess said nonchalantly: "I'll just come to join in the fun, the good things in this treasure pavilion have already been sent to me and picked them all over." ”
Zhou Huaiyu nodded, knowing in his heart.
There are not many shops selling jewelry and jade in the capital, but there are few famous ones at the top, and the most famous of them is the Treasure Pavilion, because the Treasure Pavilion not only does the business of the rich people in the capital, but also sells the middle and lower class jewelry, but the level is clear. When the people who come to the high-rise of the Treasure Pavilion to choose jewelry pass through the long staircase of several floors downstairs, they can enjoy the envy of everyone downstairs, so that people's vanity can be satisfied to the greatest extent, and those who can come to the upper floor are not poor people.
Since Zhou Huaiyu started to open a jewelry shop, he has not come to these places less, and I have to say that the sales model of Treasure Pavilion is the most profitable.
"Yu'er, you didn't come out in previous years, I don't know that these 'nobles' are doing their best today, and the bracelet that was originally only worth 100 taels was sold for a price of 1,000 taels. "The treasures of the Treasure Pavilion today are all in a style that has never been seen before, and there are even many ornaments made of strange materials, and in the end they are sold at auction, and whoever gives the highest price will own the thing.
"It's all rich people who come, and it's understandable to be willful!"
"Haha, Yu'er is still so interesting to speak, what do you like in a while, you tell me, although this princess is not more willful than the thirteenth cousin, she is not worse than others!" "Last time Zhou Huaiyu's birthday during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the third princess didn't know in advance, but later she saw Zhao Jing give her a gift, and she found out after checking, although the gift was made up, but she didn't want to go.
More importantly, from Zhao Jing's attitude towards Zhou Huaiyu, Zhao Rui re-established her position. She said that Zhao Jing has a good vision, and she can get the favor of the saint and be loved by so many people, so her vision will naturally not be wrong.
Upstairs, Yan and Su saw Zhou Huaiyu walking downstairs, and they also recognized the third princess, and secretly scolded Zhou Huaiyu for not greeting them by himself, and when they all went down, before they came to the front, they were stopped, saying that the third princess didn't want to be disturbed, so they came back in a gloomy way, so angry that Yan only slapped the table, and even the beginning of the treasure appraisal meeting failed to make her happy.
Song Yun naturally recognized the third princess, but when she saw Zhou Huaiyu giving her a look, she didn't come over, but found another place to sit.
The third princess and Zhou Huaiyu are friendly, one is because of Zhao Jing's attitude towards Zhou Huaiyu, the second is because the abbot master attaches great importance to Zhou Huaiyu, and the third is because Zhou Huaiyu himself can always make her laugh with an occasional sentence or two. As for the Song family and others who are close to Zhou Huaiyu, although she will not put on a cold face, she does not have much enthusiasm, but fortunately, the Song family knows how to be measured, and she will never be as annoying as the Zhou family and the Su family.
The treasure appraisal conference is as usual, and what begins to appear is not a treasure, it is nothing more than a novelty in style, and the jade quality is better than what is usually seen, so the atmosphere is not very warm, and most of the people who shout the price are some ordinary merchants and ordinary officials and wives in the capital.
At halftime, the third princess told Zhou Huaiyu that the second half was the highlights.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, he took out a palm-sized heart protection jade, the jade quality is the best Qingyang warm jade, the jade quality is delicate and warm, it is carved into a fairy peach style, and it is strung together with one hundred and eight Bodhi seeds of the same size, whether it is worn or gifted, it is a good choice.
The reserve price given is still one hundred taels, after the treasure connoisseur shouted the price, the building shouted the price one after another, and kept shouting the high price of six hundred taels, the third princess shook her head: "Although this piece of jade is relatively large, the jade quality is not as good as the shopkeeper said, six hundred taels is almost the same, and it is not worth it again." ”
The third princess has grown up in the palace since she was a child, and she has never seen anything good, so what she said must not be wrong, so when she heard the high price of eight hundred taels directly shouted in the private room where the Yan family was on the second floor, Zhou Huaiyu felt pain.
Although her money was taken up by this old woman, sooner or later she would ask her to return it, so in other words, it was all her silver!
Seeing Zhou Huaiyu's heart-wrenching expression, the third princess gloated: "Your old lady is so wealthy every year, she is alone in the entire second half, and your Wu'an Hou Mansion has become a guest of honor in the major jewelry buildings in the capital, you don't know, right?"
Zhou Huaiyu saw the bad taste of the third princess, and could only glance at her weakly, and her expression looked a little sad.
Just when everyone thought that this piece of warm jade would become the bag of the Wu'an Hou Mansion, suddenly a voice sounded in another private room on the second floor, "One thousand taels!" It turned out to be two hundred taels higher than the price given by the Yan family
This time, the third princess sat up straight, looked at the private room on the second floor, and then looked at Zhou Huaiyu, whose eyes lit up suddenly, raised her eyebrows slightly, she beckoned to call the next person, whispered a few words in his ear, and the person quickly ran away.
