Chapter 521: Exploitation
Xiang Yue returned to the room and took out the pale stone that Wu Jing had dropped, because she had the memory of the remnant soul of the Nether King, she recognized this stone as a treasure inherited from the ancient "Life Stone". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Life Stone is a spar that can strip one-third of the soul of others.
Wu Jing actually wanted to use the Life Stone to strip Xiang Yue's soul and control her in her hands, and even devour her soul at any time.
Sure enough, Wu Jing is not Xiang Yue's mother, how can a mother in the world do such a poisonous thing to her own daughter?
It's no wonder that for so many years, Wu Jing has been alive, but she has never met Xiang Yue.
Xiang Yue was a little annoyed, if he didn't use his hands at that time, but instead used the bundle of immortals, would he have already caught Wu Jing?
It's just that Xiang Yue's cultivation will be exposed, but if Wu Jing can be captured, there will be no violence and no exposure, I am afraid that Wu Jing's speed is too fast, and like Zhu Wan, it is too late to bind her with the immortal rope.
The appearance of Wu Jing this time shows that she is hiding in the princess's mansion, and anyone in the princess's mansion may be her illusion.
Xiang Yue immediately thought of Jin Nan, he definitely knew Wu Jing's whereabouts, but this person was extremely strict, and if he wanted to pry his mouth open, he had to be hard.
But now that he is being ordered to search all corners of the princess's mansion, with many palace soldiers around him, it is inconvenient for Xiang Yue to look for him for the time being.
The sky was about to dawn, Xiang Yue did not feel sleepy, and actively devoted himself to cultivation.
Early in the morning, after learning that Wang Xian had come to the princess's mansion, Xiang Yue slowly finished breakfast and went to Princess Mingyu's courtyard.
After a period of rest, Princess Mingyu had already suppressed the black qi on her face, and she couldn't see any signs of poisoning.
Wang Xianyu was chatting casually with Princess Mingyu, pretending to have just arrived in the morning.
There were two people standing behind her, one was her personal maidservant, and the other was her confidant Wang Chunlei, a descendant of the Wu clan who had the primary cultivation of the True Body Realm.
Xiang Yue said hello to Princess Mingyu, said hello to Wang Xian, and glanced at her feet without a trace.
The boots worn by Zhu Wan last night were dark red, and now they are a pair of white boots, which shows that Wang Xianyu pays attention to details and acts cautiously.
"Auntie, today I'm going to take over the Soft Fragrance Pavilion and let my cousin accompany me out of the house, okay?"
Hearing the three words of Soft Fragrance Pavilion, Wang Xian couldn't help but jump out of the corner of her eyes, although she was not short of money, but Soft Fragrance Pavilion was the most profitable store among all the income, so she lost to Xiang Yue, and her heart seemed to be dripping blood.
Wang Xianyu was speechless for a while, and looked at Princess Mingyu.
"You two sisters can move around a lot, go ahead. β
Princess Mingyu needs to recuperate, so she can't wait to send the people next to her out, don't bother her.
Out of the princess's mansion, Wang Xianyu was about to get into the carriage.
"Cousin, I'll take you to another place first, and we'll walk over there. "Xiang Yue invited Wang Xian to come out, not only to stimulate her with the soft incense pavilion, but also for another purpose.
"Where to go first?"
Wang Xianyu maintained her gentleness and tactfulness in front of outsiders, but in fact, she didn't know how vigilant Xiang Yue was, her personal maids and cronies were on both sides of her, and Xiang Yue couldn't touch the corners of her clothes at all.
In front of everyone's eyes, Wang Xian will not move Xiang Yue, in fact, Xiang Yue will not move Wang Xian Xiang either.
"Cousin, what do you think of my clothes?" asked Xiang Yue, pointing to the clothes he was wearing.
"The clothes worn by Cousin Xiaoyue are exquisite and unique, and now the young lady of the Imperial City doesn't ask around to know where your clothes are made. β
Everyone has a love for beauty, and of course, Wang Xianyu, like other girls, likes beautiful clothes and dresses up.
"Cousin, let's go to the ready-to-wear shop first, where my clothes are made. β
Wu Sheng and Gu Niang took a group of tailors, and they came to the imperial city with Mo Wen and Xiaowu, and the Tianxing ready-to-wear shop had already been decorated under the care of Murong Qinghong, and Wu Sheng and Gu Niang and other tailors had already made a few sets of clothes in the past few days, just waiting for the moon to pass and choose a good day to open.
It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, Xiang Yue doesn't care about picking the day, and pulls in Wang Xianyu, a famous beautiful woman in the imperial city, she is a ready-made star, whether in ancient times or in modern times, the star effect cannot be ignored at all.
Xiang Yue first wanted to use Wang Xian's marriage for free, of course she couldn't let her take the carriage, and walked all the way from the princess's mansion, and the number of onlookers was quite considerable.
With Wang Xian's gentle personality, he was reluctant to do so in his heart, but he couldn't refuse Xiang Yue.
The first and second on the beauty list appeared at the same time, which immediately caused a sensation in the whole imperial city, attracting countless followers, and arrived at the Tianxing Garment Shop, which was crowded with many people.
Therefore, on the day of the opening of the ready-to-wear store, the business was booming, and more than 100 orders were taken, and the samples were also rushed to buy out.
Xiang Yue's price is very expensive, who called the clothes she designed are rare goods that do not exist in this world? Anyway, there are many relatives of the emperor and children of high-ranking officials in the imperial city, and they are not bad for money.
The more expensive things are, the more these people feel classy and in line with their status.
Don't cut white, don't cut it, that's what Xiang Yue thinks.
Wu Sheng, Gu Niang and the others had never seen such a high price, which they had not been able to earn for several generations, and their faces turned pale with fright, and their hands were trembling.
Fortunately, Xiang Yue had already called Mo Wen, Murong Qinghong and other people from the Tianxing Gate to help through the Qianli Transmission Lock, so that the ready-to-wear shop would not become a mess.
Although Xiang Yue thought that the clothes designed by himself must sell well, he didn't expect that the first day of opening would be so prosperous.
When he left the house, Xiang Yue also brought a team of government soldiers, who protected Xiang Yue and Wang Xian from being collided by the crowd, and the personal maids and cronies around Wang Xian never left Wang Xian's side at any time, and they were closely protected.
Su Chifeng and Yiyang also heard the news, and the two politely greeted Wang Xian and stayed by Xiang Yue's side.
"Su Gongzi and Yi Gongzi really care about Cousin Xiaoyue. β
Wang Xianyu's words caused Su Chifeng and Yiyang to look at each other, as if there was a flash of lightning.
Xiang Yue got close to Yi's family, and often met with Yiyang, Su Chifeng said that he was very jealous and very dissatisfied with Yiyang.
Yiyang was even more dissatisfied with Su Chifeng, Xiang Yue is the heir of the Heavenly Maiden, it is good to marry whoever you want, but I prefer to marry the future master of the Wu clan, the person who is supported by the Yi family, which will harm Xiang Yue and harm the future of the entire Yi family and the Wu clan.
However, Su Chifeng and Yiyang are not stupid, and they will not be hostile because of Wang Xian's words, otherwise the two would have fought a long time ago, and they would have waited until now?
Yiyang knew it and remained silent.
Su Chifeng whispered to Xiang Yue: "Why haven't you tore your face with this cousin of yours? β
Xiang Yue didn't tell Su Chifeng about the fact that Zhu Wan and Wang Xian were the same person, worried that he would save his father, and he couldn't hold his breath. But on the day of the palace banquet, he reminded him and asked him to beware of Wang Xian's marriage.
No matter what the reason, Su Chifeng always trusts Xiang Yue and always stands on Xiang Yue's side.
"It's me who is in the dark, and she's in the light. Xiang Yuemi's voice was sly.
Su Chifeng smiled slightly, although his baby is kind-hearted, he is not kind to women, and he is very decisive in treating the enemy, which he is very relieved of.
"Zhu Wan didn't return to the Zhu clan last night, and I don't know where to hide. β
"Don't act rashly, she locked up your father, obviously your father refuses to surrender to her, don't provoke her to jump off the wall and kill her. β
"Well, I know I won't act rashly until I'm completely sure I have caught her. β
Su Chifeng and Xiang Yue whispered in secret.
"Cousin Xiaoyue didn't expect you to be so good at business, Master Su, you have married a good and capable wife. Wang Xian flashed a pair of beautiful eyes that looked extremely clean and innocent, and praised very sincerely.
The low status of ancient merchants, is this a compliment or a detriment?
"Baby, business is booming, and wealth is abundant!" Su Chifeng congratulated Xiang Yue.
"Half of you, count the money together after closing. β
Xiang Yue smiled, the fabrics in the ready-to-wear shop were all provided by Su Chifeng Fabric Store.
"What's mine is yours, count the money with you. β
Su Chifeng doted on him, he had already handed over all his property to Xiang Yue, and of course the income of each store was all kept by his future daughter-in-law.
"Cousin Xiaoyue, Master Su is so good to you!" Wang Xianyu gritted his teeth secretly, but showed a look of envy.
"My cousin is so good, I am sure to find someone who is good to you. Xiang Yue said perfunctorily and said, "There is Mo Lao here here, it should be fine, let's go to the Soft Fragrance Pavilion." β
The group walked to the Soft Fragrance Pavilion, and the journey was not far.
Wang Xianyu intentionally or unintentionally talked with Su Chifeng to shorten the distance with Su Chifeng.
Su Chifeng is also the same as Xiang Yue, perfunctory, if he can, he wants to beat people away with one punch, what man can't beat a woman, and anyone who wants to harm his baby is his enemy.
Wang Xian is also very smart, he can feel the alienation of the other party, and he is extremely unhappy in his heart, if it weren't for the value of your Su family's father and son, the county lord would not have bothered to speak.
was used by Xiang Yue to come to the ready-to-wear shop, her mood was already bad, and she was going to the Soft Fragrance Pavilion next, and her mood was even worse.
When I approached the soft incense pavilion, I heard a melodious and pleasant sound from inside, which made people feel comfortable and relaxed.
"I don't know who plays the piano well?"
Wang Xianyu is known as a talented woman in the imperial city, and she is naturally proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and after hearing the sound of the piano, she can't help but praise.
Walking into the door, I saw Musician Kwong sitting alone in a lonely posture, with thin white and slender fingers plucking the strings, and melodious music fluttered out of his fingertips.
Xiang Yue has never learned the piano, but she can always hear whether it is good or not, and she clapped her hands gently.
"Master, you're here!"
Musician Kuang raised his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw Xiang Yue, his indifferent expression flashed a hint of surprise, stopped playing, and got up to greet him.
"Thank you for your hard work. β
When Xiang Yue entered the door, he saw that the signboard of the Soft Fragrance Pavilion had been replaced with the three-character signboard of "Tianxing Tower".
Because there is going to be an auction here, it will be temporarily changed to Tianxing Building, and when the auction is over, the signboard of Tianxing Food Building will be officially hung.
The people of the original soft incense pavilion have all been cleaned out, and Kuang Le Shi is very efficient, and he has asked someone to demolish some unnecessary buildings and decorations in the past few days, and the building is now very clean and tidy.
"I am hired to be the head of the house, and I should do things for the head of the house. β
Kuang Leshi was arrogant, it seemed that there was only Xiang Yue in his eyes, and no one else saw it, so he just said to Xiang Yue, "Master, when do you want to hold an auction?"
"Then it is scheduled for the end of September, and I will ask the Murong Hall Master to send someone to send invitations to the various forces. β
Xiang Yue also wants to hold an auction as soon as possible, saving many people from worrying about the treasures on her body, now that she is in the imperial city, it is relatively safe, once she leaves the city, there will definitely be many people eyeing her.
"I've already prepared the invitation, just wait for the time set by the boss and send someone to deliver it. "Kuang Leshi's work efficiency is really high, he doesn't need to tell Yue, he has already done it.
Xiang Yue smiled: "I picked up the treasure and recruited such a capable person as Kuang Leshi." β
"After the award, the master, can you have time to learn the piano today?"
Kwong Leshi, who received the praise, had a very flat face, but his eyes flashed with light, looking at Xiang Yue, looking forward to her learning the piano.
"My fiancΓ©e learns the piano, I will teach, don't bother Master Kwong. β
Su Chifeng noticed that Kuang Leshi's shining eyes when he looked at Xiang Yue, and he was immediately jealous, and he didn't call Xiang Yue a baby, but called his fiancΓ©e directly.
While secretly whispering to Yiyang: "Have you checked the origin of Kuang Leshi, what are the gains?"
Yiyang glanced at him obliquely, and replied in a secret voice: "Musician Kuang is very famous in the Imperial City, and I heard that he is the first musician that the major Qinglou is vying to hire. This person is proud of his talents, never pretends to be a man, and acts alone, although he is in the land of fireworks, he never contaminates those Qinglou women, and he is also clean. β
"That's all you find?"
"Well, this person is more mysterious. β
"Even your Yijia has only found these, it seems that this Kuang Le Master is not small. Su Chifeng frowned, and whispered.
Yiyang nodded.
"He looks so similar to Bo Wuqin, do you think the two of them will have anything to do with each other? I think of a way to ask Bo Wuqin to come to the imperial city as well, so that these two people can meet, I don't know what will happen?"
Hearing Su Chifeng's secret words, Yiyang couldn't help but tremble, and glanced at Su Chifeng again, this guy is the most black-bellied, he wants to kill two birds with one stone, and eliminate the two rivals at once.
"I've been busy lately, so I'll learn the piano when I have time. β
Xiang Yue quietly glared at Su Chifeng, such an obvious jealousy behavior, even a fool could see it.
"There is less wind, why don't we have a piano competition? Only then did Kuang Leshi look at Su Chifeng and challenge proudly.
