CHAPTER XXIV
This time, in order to help Ye Qianhuan earn face, Shen Anran naturally brought a lot of things, and also brought a small group of people back to Jinjiabu with them.
Early in the morning, Shen Anran and the princess of the county said goodbye, and the princess of the county sent people to the door uneasily, telling a lot of things, Ye Qianhuan and Shen Anran responded together.
Along the way, Shen Anran didn't ride a horse anymore, he sat in the carriage with Ye Qianhuan, and the two of them occasionally chatted, because the speed of the carriage was not fast, so it was late when they arrived in Qingxi Town, and if they wanted to rush to Jinjiabu again, they were afraid that it would be time. Ye Qianhuan didn't want to disturb Yin Le and Ye Rong, so he discussed with Shen Anran a little and stayed in Qingxi Town for one night. Ye Qianhuan and Shen Anran have also been to Qingxi Town, at this time there are still some sporadic shops outside the town, Shen Anran saw Ye Qianhuan staying in the carriage for a day, so he wanted to take Ye Qianhuan outside to walk everywhere to breathe.
Ye Qianhuan also happened to feel suffocated, and agreed without thinking about it. Qingshui Town is a relatively wealthy town, if the town is in a market, it will be very lively, there is obviously no market today, it is night again, and there are not many people on the street. But there are still some sporadic shops that are not closed, and there are some small stalls outside.
Shen Anran led Ye Qianhuan very slowly, and occasionally swayed in some small shops. The two of them swayed and walked into a jade shop.
The shop guy warmly entertained Ye Qianhuan and Shen Anran. "Two guest officers, what do you want to see? There are a lot of good jade new in our store, so let the villain introduce them to the two? ”
Ye Qianhuan was not very interested in jade, but there was nothing to do in the first place, and when he saw the enthusiasm of the shop guys, he was embarrassed to refuse, so he took a look with the shop guys.
"Two, these are the new jades in our shop, all of them are high-quality jadeite and Hetian jade, and these jades are beautifully carved, whether they are made as jewelry or given away...... And these are ......"
Ye Qianhuan listened to the man's introduction casually, but the expression on her face was always faint, originally she didn't particularly like jade, and she also relied on her eyes, and she bought them if she didn't fit them, and she wouldn't look at them if she didn't fit them. The guy in the shop didn't know that he saw Ye Qianhuan and Shen Anran dressed luxuriously, and said that the two of them couldn't look down on these ordinary jades. Seeing that Ye Qianhuan and Shen Anran were leaving, they hurriedly stopped and said, "You two can't look down on these jades?" There is also a treasure of the town store in this store, we are not allowed to see the general people, the jade is our boss bought from his friend, it is a piece of high-quality Hetian jade, the jade is crystal clear, the carving is exquisite, and most importantly, the jade is also with a trace of purple. The guy said here and asked with a mysterious face: "I wonder if the two of you are interested in this piece of jade?" ”
When Ye Qianhuan heard the other party say this, he was really interested. The jade of this dynasty is mainly based on Hetian green and white jade, but the most expensive jade is purple jade as a waist accessory, because purple represents purple microstar, so if the jade is purple, the value of the jade will naturally increase several times.
Ye Qianhuan remembered that Prince Mu had a piece of Hetian purple jade hanging on his waist, and as for the others, she had only seen the piece of jade on Shen Anran's waist before with purple, but unfortunately that piece of jade was sold by Shen Anran at will, and she didn't know how much it was sold. Thinking of this, Ye Qianhuan couldn't help but feel a little angry. This loser, how expensive is that jade, she actually exchanged that piece of jade for a silver hairpin at will?! Although that piece of jade is Shen Anran's own, how she wants to dispose of it is Shen Anran's business, but Ye Qianhuan can't help but want to vomit blood every time she thinks about it. Therefore, Ye Qianhuan was a little curious when he heard the guy say that there was this kind of jade here: "Oh? Is that jade really purple? ”
The guy said, "How could the villain lie to you?" The jade is really high-quality, and the carving is also very exquisite, and it is impossible to buy it in ordinary places. ”
Shen Anran also had a nature at this time, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? Then I want to see, I don't know where the jade is now? ”
The guy sneered: "Such a precious jade will naturally not be placed in the store casually, it is kept by our boss himself, but don't worry, our boss happens to be in the shop today, I will help the two of you to call the boss?" ”
Ye Qianhuan instinctively glanced at Shen Anran, and saw that she also looked quite natural, so he said, "Okay, let's wait." ”
The guy immediately laughed and the two of them sat next to him to rest, while he quickly ran to the backyard to call the boss. The boss came out soon, saw Ye Qianhuan and Shen Anran, asked a few words, and took out the treasure of the town store.
The piece of jade was packed in a delicate box, and when the shopkeeper opened the box, Ye Qianhuan looked inside, and couldn't help but feel happy.
That jade was not another jade, it was the jade pendant that Shen Anran had hung on his waist.
I didn't want to be here.
Shen Anran naturally discovered this piece of jade, and the expression on his face was a little strange, but he could still see that Shen Anran was in a good mood.
Ye Qianhuan carefully looked at the piece of jade for a while, and asked, "How much is this jade going to cost the boss?" ”
The boss wasn't sure if Ye Qianhuan really wanted the piece of jade, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "One thousand taels of silver." ”
"What?!" When Ye Qianhuan heard this, he hurriedly shouted. "A thousand taels?! Why don't you grab it? Where is this broken jade worth a thousand taels? I think it's only a hundred taels at most! ”
Shen Anran raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Qianhuan without speaking. Broken jade? Although this piece of jade is not much purple, it is not superior compared to the things in the palace, but it is also a first-class good jade, Ye Qianhuan actually said that this is broken jade? And it's a broken jade that's only worth a hundred taels?
Ye Qianhuan completely ignored Shen Anran next to him, and was still arguing with the shopkeeper over there and bargaining. Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly said, "This young lady, this piece of jade is indeed a good jade, and one thousand taels is not much at all." ”
Ye Qianhuan said: "Pull it down, no matter how good this jade is, it's not worth a thousand taels, besides, it's just such a town, where is there any good jade?" Where can anyone take out a thousand taels to buy a piece of jade at once? ”
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "Miss, this kind of thing can't just be seen everywhere, this is indeed a good jade, and my friend also bought it from a person by accident." This kind of opportunity is hard to come by, and it really cost me a lot of money to buy back this piece of jade from my friend, and a thousand taels is really not expensive. ”
Ye Qianhuan still refused, she turned her head to look at Shen Anran, and found that Shen Anran couldn't see any expression on his face at all, turned back, looked at the shopkeeper and said fiercely: "That's it, nine hundred taels, no more." ”
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "This ...... Miss, this piece of jade is really not a thousand taels. ”
Ye Qianhuan was aggressive: "Boss, this piece of jade is really a lot of nine hundred taels!" ”
The two of them then had another wave of bargaining, Ye Qianhuan crackled and said a lot of words, which really made Shen Anran see what it means to be eloquent again, and originally said that the most eloquent person in this dynasty is the Ten Princes, and now Shen Anran feels that the eloquence of his own lady is definitely not lost to the Ten Princes.
In the end, the store had no choice but to sell the jade to Ye Qianhuan for nine hundred taels. Ye Qianhuan took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels of silver from her sleeve with a painful face, and after giving it to the shopkeeper, she immediately stretched out her hand and said to the shopkeeper: "The boss is looking for money!" ”
Lao Bian handed over the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, he put away the silver, and there was a painful expression on his face, he looked at Ye Qianhuan and said, "Don't worry, Miss, I will never swallow your one hundred taels." ”
Ye Qianhuan still maintained a gesture of begging for money, and said, "Don't worry, boss, I believe in you, I just want to get my one hundred taels back quickly." ”
Shen Anran looked at Ye Qianhuan's appearance from the side, and almost suffered internal injuries with a smile. How can her lady be so cute?
In the end, Ye Qianhuan came out with a hundred taels of satisfaction, and as soon as she left the store, she looked at the jade pendant in her hand rarely, and said to Shen Anran: "Shen Anran, how much did you spend on this jade pendant?" ”
Shen Anran thought about it, but he really couldn't think of it, so he shook his head and said, "Forget about it." ”
Sure enough, rich people just make people feel very annoying. Ye Qianhuan glared at Shen Anran and said, "You just need to tell me that it is cheaper than nine hundred taels or more expensive than nine hundred taels." ”
Shen Anran replied very seriously this time: "Naturally, it is much more expensive than nine hundred taels." "She Shen Anran is a son of the world, and she won't pay so much attention to the jade pendant of a thousand taels and wear it every day.
When Ye Qianhuan heard this, he was immediately happy. "That's good, it proves that I've earned it too."
Shen Anran looked at Ye Qianhuan like this, and said with a smile: "But when I sold the jade pendant, I did only sell it for one hundred taels of silver. ”
"......" Ye Qianhuan suddenly felt that he wanted to vomit blood.
Even if you can make money again, you can't afford to have a loser in your family! God, why do you do this to me?
Shen Anran looked at Ye Qianhuan like this, and couldn't help but want to laugh again. She took Ye Qianhuan's hand and smiled: "Okay, don't think about it so much, after walking for so long, are you hungry?" Let's go for a bite to eat together? ”
Ye Qianhuan glanced at Shen Anran and said, "If you spend money, I will naturally eat it." ”
Shen Anran said with a "haha" smile: "Naturally, it's for her husband." After that, she took Ye Qianhuan's hand and walked to the place where she ate. Ye Qianhuan also said happily: "Since this is the case, I will not take advantage of you, and take you to eat the best food." With that, she pulled Shen Anran around the town, and finally walked to a wonton stall.
Ye Qianhuan sat on the wonton stall very naturally, and shouted to the boss who was making wontons: "Boss, two bowls of wontons." ”
The boss responded with a smile and said "good lak", and then quickly put down the wontons.
Ye Qianhuan looked at Shen Anran and said with a smile: "When I first came to Qingshui to catch the market, my father and mother brought me here to eat the wontons, which tasted very delicious, and they were the best wontons I have ever tasted." ”
Shen Anran looked at Ye Qianhuan with a faint smile and said, "Oh? Is it really that delicious? ”
Ye Qianhuan nodded and said, "That's nature, you will know it when you eat it." ”
Shen Anran smiled silently. The wontons came up quickly, Ye Qianhuan ate happily, Shen Anran glanced at Ye Qianhuan who was eating wontons, and ate them too.
To be honest, that wonton is really good, but it is not as delicious as Ye Qianhuan described. The reason why Ye Qianhuan said that this was the best wonton she had ever eaten was because it was the first time she had rushed to the market since Ye Qianhuan, and the first time she was taken over by her father and mother to eat. Maybe it's because you finally got what you want, so you feel happy, right? That feeling of happiness is enough to turn ordinary things into the most delicious food in the world.
Ye Qianhuan ate half of it, looked up at Shen Anran, who was also eating wontons, and asked, "How is it?" Isn't it particularly delicious? ”
Shen Anran nodded with a smile and said, "Ah, yes, it's very delicious, this is the best wonton I've ever tasted." Shen Anran didn't lie to Ye Qianhuan, she felt that this was the best wonton in the world, because Ye Qianhuan was next to her, because Ye Qianhuan was willing to share with her what she thought was the best, because of this, Shen Anran also felt full of happiness, so this wonton also became the best thing in the world.
Ye Qian smiled, and under the light of the lantern, her face was beautiful and soft.
