Chapter 22 The old pit jade
"Mother, I heard that there are some rare treasures on the second floor, although we don't have the fortune to buy them back, but it's good to open our eyes, there are so many people on the first floor, let's go to the second floor first. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yi Ying proposed with a smile, her eyes firm.
"Yes, whatever you want. Qin Shi smiled and nodded, she just heard that a very ordinary-looking golden hairpin on the first floor was dozens of taels bigger, and she knew in her heart that she couldn't afford it, and it didn't matter if she was disappointed.
Walking up the stairs on the north side facing the door, you will see the scenery on the second floor, and you will feel that the view is much wider and brighter.
The pillars are the same decoration on the same floor, except that the two gold pillars against the wall facing the staircase are hung a couplet embedded in a long plaque of nanmu.
On the east and west sides of the second floor, there are two counters neatly arranged with utensils, and a small wide wenge sticks out of the middle and upper part of the wall on each side, and a jade in the shape of a lotus flower is fixed on the wood, and in the center of the jade, a light blue night pearl the size of a baby's fist is carefully placed, which is very eye-catching.
The second floor is not anything ordinary, so the entire floor looks bejeweled and shining.
There are only a few guests on this floor, all dressed in rich and extraordinary clothes, and their expressions are faintly proud, although there are few guests, there are a full twelve men, with respectful expressions, or explaining to the guests, or standing upright.
Yi Ying nodded secretly
As soon as they came up, a fellow greeted them, and gave them a rough look, but did not show the slightest contempt, but patiently explained the material and value of the things that they could see.
Yiying had seen these things in his previous life, and he didn't care much about it, he was only looking forward to the one he was looking for, and the Qin family knew that he couldn't afford it, so he just regarded it as a long insight, and his eyebrows didn't move, and he was calm.
The guy secretly caught a glimpse of the looks of their mother and daughter, and the teachings of the secret shopkeeper were really good, and he must not look down on every guest who came to the second floor, whether it was coarse cloth clothes or brocade clothes, they must be treated consistently, and he felt that the two people he entertained today were not ordinary people.
When she walked to the sixth treasure of the introduction, Yiying's eyes lit up.
When the fellow saw her like this, he was also a little proud in his heart: at last there was something that could impress this little girl, and if she didn't look down on anything, wouldn't it hurt the face of their Treasure Pavilion? You know, the Treasure Pavilion doesn't know how many little girls of this age have to receive every day, which one of them didn't come with a lot of excitement and return with a full load? They just wish they could buy all the jewelry with silver, and where would they be picky and disdainful?
He didn't know that Yiying was not at all because he fell in love with this thing. This one, she also had an impression in her previous life.
It was a red gold bracelet, with a thumb-sized jade embedded in the center, she heard Fang Ruhai, the treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion in her previous life, say that it was the first emperor who gave the concubine Yu in his early years, and then it must have been the queen mother who was very disgusted with the concubine, and she didn't want to see her shadow in the palace, so the large things were returned to the treasury, and the small ones were given to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess didn't want to see the concubine, so she put a few jade artifacts in the Treasure Pavilion. The Treasure Pavilion takes a few pieces out to sell every year, and now there is only this one left.
"Girl good eyesight, this bracelet heard that it was a gift from the emperor, and then accidentally went to the people, was purchased by our Treasure Pavilion, just a few days ago it was put out for sale, the jade in the middle is the best ice glutinous jadeite, excellent color......" He praised a large piece, and finally said, "So the price is naturally expensive, to five thousand eight hundred taels of silver." ”
After hearing this, the Qin clan was startled, more than 5,000 taels of silver, which is enough to buy a small house in a good part of the capital.
Yi Ying took off a purse from his waist, took out a jade pendant, and said with a smile: "I see that this jade in my hand is better than that one, you can see how much it is worth?"
The young man's hair exploded when he heard this, how could it be better than the royal gift, and he was about to say angrily that it was better to appreciate things or go downstairs, but he was stunned when he saw the jade pendant.
He works in the General Silver Building of the Treasure Pavilion, and he still has some eyesight, and he can recognize those precious jade species at a glance. If he is not mistaken, the jadeite carved with the auspicious pattern of the dragon and phoenix is the Laokeng glass species, the best in the jade world, and it is a few points better than the ice glutinous species.
"Can you let me take a closer look?" the young man asked cautiously, feeling only his legs tremble.
Yiying smiled and handed it to him.
He looked at it again and again, exhaled and said: "Girl, this is the jade of the Laokeng glass species, which is much better than the one on the bracelet, and the material is much better, in my opinion, it will cost at least eight or nine thousand taels, and if it is the best of the Laokeng glass species, it may not be possible to sell it for tens of thousands of taels." It's a pity that the little eyes are clumsy, if you show it to the shopkeeper, maybe you can look more closely. But the girl wants to change hands on this jade pendant?"
Qin's face was a little pale since he saw Yi Ying take out this jade pendant, and after listening to this guy's words at this moment, his face was even worse, and he stepped forward and took away the jade pendant with some gaffe.
"No, I just want to show you, it's a family heirloom, it's not for sale. Yi Ying smiled and pulled the Qin clan away.
The guy was confused and watched as the two of them walked downstairs for some reason.
After a while, I came to my senses, and only said that I was blessed to be able to see such a good jade, even if it was a treasure pavilion, it was only a few years to see a jade from the glass of the old pit, that thing, mostly in the hands of the palace and the princes and nobles, and the people could rarely buy it. I was in a happy mood for a while, and the guests were full of spring breeze.
The mother and daughter left the Treasure Pavilion at this end, and they no longer mentioned the matter of the jade pendant, but they had no intention of going shopping, so they went home.
Along the way, the two of them were silent, Qin was immersed in the past, and Yi Ying was thinking about how to ask the ins and outs of the matter later.
When I returned to the small courtyard, it was not yet noon.
As soon as I entered the hospital, I saw Xu's mother standing by the well with a bucket, and when she saw them coming back, she shouted enthusiastically: "Yo, are you going out to the market?"
Qin Shi walked in front, his expression was not very good-looking, and when he heard this, he just nodded indiscriminately and stepped into his room.
Yiying smiled apologetically at Xu's mother, and said in a low voice: "There is a vendor on the street who raises the price indiscriminately, my mother and him will inevitably have a few quarrels, and my heart is not very happy, you can bear with me." ”
Mother Xu was a little angry when she saw that the Qin family looked like she was ignoring her, and when she heard Yiying say this, she didn't care: "Your mother has always had a good temper, and I don't know what kind of lack of morality annoyed her, but I often encounter it, last time I bought fish in Xishikou, ......" and then looked like she wanted to tell Yiying about her experience.
