Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Battle of the Green Hosta
Hearing her say this, Fusheng smiled inadvertently at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Okay, I'll wait and see." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When Xun Jiu raised his eyes, he was stunned when he saw his smile.
The bamboo curtain of the car window was half rolled, and half of the residual gold sunset came in, gently spread on his perfect side face, the dark purple placket was smooth and clean, and there was only a small watermark on his chestβthe result of her crying in someone's arms just now.
Seeing that the originally clean person was made like this by her, Xun Jiu couldn't help laughing.
"What's wrong?" Fu Sheng turned his head to look at her, his eyes as clear as a spring.
"I'm thinking, why are you such a cold-bellied person a vinegar jar?" Xun Jiu said, then pulled his palm and looked at the lines on it carefully, "Well, I have to help you look at the appearance again." β
Fu Sheng's expression was slightly constricted, "Because apart from me, those men who approach you are not good things." β
"Hmm." Xun Jiu nodded extremely perfunctorily, gently withdrew his palm, and said seriously: "Master Ben re-reads, you are born with a good life, your wife is as beautiful as a flower, and everything is prosperous, but there is one thing that needs to be paid great attention to, well, that's right, you are jealous by nature." β
Fu Sheng glanced at her, and then nodded approvingly, "I've always been jealous since I met you, but I forgot to say it at the time, you have to remember it in the future." β
Xun Jiu pursed his lips, the corners of his lips still couldn't hold back a smile, and nodded perfunctorily again.
Fu Sheng knew that her attitude was not good when he saw her like that, and stretched out his slender fingers and gently scratched the tip of her nose, "If you are disobedient, I will punish you." β
Xun Jiu quickly silenced his laughter, and after coughing lightly, his back stiffened, trying his best to be humble and his expression soft.
Fu Sheng Wan'er smiled and looked away, "Tomorrow, the envoys of the Wei State will come, I don't have time, but I will ask Shang Yi to accompany you to Xicheng to see the shops, after reading it, if you have any ideas, come back and tell me." β
"Hmm......" Xun Jiu solemnly bowed his head, thinking that having a man by his side is happiness, although this person is jealous, but his shrewdness is dark, and taking precautions can always give her a great sense of security.
When he returned to the mansion, Zhao Tong was immediately startled when he saw his girl's eyes red and swollen, and cried: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" Who bullied you? β
Xun Jiu covered her eyes, she just threw herself into Fusheng's arms and cried, she cried too seriously for a while, she didn't realize that her eyes were red and swollen, she must have looked ugly.
Thinking of this, Xun Jiu took away his eyes and asked Zhao Tong nervously, "Am I particularly ugly?" β
"No, it won't." Although Zhao Tong didn't understand why the girl asked this, he still said truthfully: "The girl was born with a good face, and now her eyes are red and almost tearful, and the slave maid is distressed to death." β
"Really?" Xun Jiu seemed to believe it or not, and hurriedly entered the boudoir and sat in front of the bronze mirror, only then did he see the appearance of the person in the mirror.
On the pink and snow-white face, the pair of narrow peach blossom eyes are like a light pen depiction, but they add a charming stroke to the tail of Qingling Yuxiu, and the reddish eyes are not ugly, but the water is rippling, slightly adding melancholy and confusing people's souls.
At this time, it was close to dusk, the light and shadow in the room were hazy, and the face in the mirror seemed to be shrouded in the light smoke and rain.
"Girl......" She walked over and exclaimed: "The slave has found that you have become more and more beautiful recently, every time His Royal Highness King Qin sends you back, his face is like smeared with honey, could it be that you ......"
"Not as fast as you think." Xun Jiu heard that Zhao Tong had broken her relationship with Fu Sheng, and he didn't deny it, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's just the beginning now." β
When Zhao Tong heard this, he was naturally overjoyed, and said with a smile: "The slave maid knows that His Royal Highness the King of Qin treats the girl differently from others, you don't know, when the slave maid went to the market, he heard someone talking about the future princess of His Royal Highness King Qin!" At that time, the slave maid was thinking, if only the girl and His Highness could develop to that point. Now that I heard you, the slave maid felt that Xu Shiyue Lao heard the slave maid's prayer, so he secretly pulled the red line for you. β
At the end, Zhao Tong's eyebrows were filled with sorrow, and he pursed his lips, "It's just ......"
"Just what?" Xun Jiu picked up the horn comb and combed his black hair.
Zhao Tong didn't want to sweep the girl's interest, but when it came to this, if he interrupted halfway, it seemed too annoying.
Bei Yan bit his lower lip lightly, and Zhao Tong said stiffly: "After all, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is a prince of a dynasty, the girl is in her prime, and her complexion is captivating. β
Xun Jiu instantly understood, what Zhao Tong said was that he couldn't bear to see her compete with other concubines of Fusheng in the future.
is worthy of being a little girl from Ji Mansion, and even her thoughts have been purified by Ji Mansion's monogamy.
Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Xun Jiuwan smiled, "King Qin said that he is jealous and doesn't like me to be too cordial with other men. I am also jealous of your girl, if he dares to have other women around him, come one to kill one, come to two...... Well, I'll just let them be together. β
Xun Jiu's earth-shattering remarks made Zhao Tong startled, his cold hair stood on end, and after a while, he covered his lips and smiled: "I know that it is absolutely impossible for a girl to serve a husband with others." In the past, slaves and maids also felt that it was natural for men to have three wives and four concubines, but they were used to seeing the intrigue of concubines in the back house of large families, and when they arrived in Ji Mansion, they were shocked to realize that the back house without concubines was so harmonious and beautiful. β
Xun Jiu suddenly remembered the reason why Ji Liming told her that there was no concubine in Ji Mansion, and she shook her head slightly, and she said softly: "I hope that Cousin Xiao Ming can find the person he likes as soon as possible." β
Zhao Tong echoed: "The second young man is close to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, since the Ji Mansion has a family motto of monogamy, presumably the second young man does not want to see the girl serve a husband with others in the future, with him coming forward, the slave believes that His Royal Highness the King of Qin will definitely break the old rules and only be good to the girl in his life." β
Xun Jiu remembered what the empress said to her in the emperor's bedroom just now.
- At least he has to have someone by his side.
At that time, she could hear the earnestness and full hope between the empress's words.
is also a woman, Xun Jiu can feel that the empress loves the person in her heart deeply, and she must also have the idea of a couple for a lifetime, but she has no choice but to stand on a high place, and many things are involuntary after all.
The harem is full, and the three thousand beautiful men are not what she wants.
Therefore, the empress pinned the good wishes of a lifetime and a couple on Fusheng.
Somehow, Xun Jiu's eyes suddenly wet just thinking like this.
The words spoken by the empress were like explaining her last words.
She is obviously the most noble woman in the world, but she is only in her twilight years, but her heart is as old as an old man in her twilight years, and her eyes are full of indifference to see through the bitterness of the world.
Xun Jiu couldn't imagine what road they had traveled and what hardships they had endured in those twelve years, but his eyes could see that the two sisters and brothers could have where they are today, and the hardships and hard work they had paid during this period were not 12/10 of what ordinary people could do.
"Girl......" Zhao Tong saw that her eyes were moist, thinking that she had said the wrong thing again, and hurriedly blamed herself in a low voice: "It's all to blame for the slave and maid's mouth......"
"It's none of your business." Xun Jiu pursed his lips and collected his thoughts, "You go out first, I want to sit alone for a while." β
Zhao Tong retreated as he said, and brought two eggs from the kitchen in the evening to remove the swelling for Xun Jiu.
Nothing happened overnight.
When it was just dawn, Shang Yi knocked on the door early with the title deed of the shop in Xicheng.
Zhao Tong yawned and took the latch of the door, and was stunned when he saw Shang Yi standing outside, "The adult came to find our girl so early?" β
Shang Yi also knew that this hour was too early, so he scratched his head awkwardly and explained: "Your Highness has gone to the court, and I have nothing to do in the palace, so I plan to come to find Miss Jiu earlier, why, hasn't she gotten up yet?" β
"This hour......" Zhao Tong was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid the girl will have to sleep for a while, if the adults don't mind, you can go to the living room and wait first, and the slave maid will serve you tea." β
"Okay." Shang Yi happily agreed, and followed Zhao Tong to the living room.
Let Shang Yi wait for him first, Zhao Tong quickly went back to the room to make a fuss about himself, and woke up Mother Liu, the two went to the kitchen to work for a while, and soon brought a bowl of hot ginger coix porridge.
After putting the small bowl of blue and white entwined branches on the table, Zhao Tong poured tea for Shang Yi again, and said in his mouth: "It's autumn, the slave maid sees the adults coming against the cold, so let's drink the porridge and go to the cold first." The girl is about to get up. β
"The little girl is so sweet." Shang Yi smiled and dragged the small bowl.
"It should be." Zhao Tong teased: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is so good to the girl, the slaves and maids are naturally happy, the adult is a person from the Qin Palace, and he is a distinguished guest of our family, and he deserves to be treated like this." β
Since Fu Sheng and Xun Jiu came back from the uninhabited island, there are many things that needless to say, everyone knows a lot.
Although Shang Yi is young, he is not stupid, and he knows that His Royal Highness is really moved by Miss Jiu.
At the beginning, he was not optimistic about them like Gong Yi Jiaoyi, after all, His Royal Highness shouldered a big responsibility, and the duel at the peak of power was not suitable for women to be involved, let alone too many emotional bonds, but after getting along for a long time, Shang Yi felt more and more that Miss Jiu's personality was generous and unconventional, which was really pleasing.
So he went to the other three to discuss the matter privately.
The exact time was last night.
Shang Yi went to climb the courtyard of the three people as an interviewer.
At that time, Jiao Yi was sharpening his knife, and the shining cold light directly frightened Shang Yi to fall from the courtyard wall.
When asked what Jiao Yi thought of His Royal Highness's interaction with Miss Jiu, the other party picked up the smooth and silver kitchen knife, gently scraped the sharp edge with his thumb and fingertips, and then flicked it on the handle of the knife with a loud "ding", took out the dice with his left hand and threw it on the ground, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "I'll see if it's the little goblin or His Highness on top." β
Shang Yi silently went to Gongyi's place.
Gong Yi hadn't slept yet, his slender snow-white fingers were holding the scroll lightly, and the cold temperament of his body made Shang Yi retreat, and he sat on the courtyard wall and counted the stars in the middle of the night before he decided to muster up the courage to go down and ask.
Gong Yi didn't seem to be too interested in his question, he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, and his voice was slightly cold, "If Your Highness doesn't look for a woman, you go to warm his bed?" β
Shang Yi touched his nose and came to the sign with a small face.
Zhengyi slept very early, and Shang Yi knocked on the door for a long time without moving.
finally woke him up, but the other party fell on the bed again without even listening to the question.
Although the attitude of the three was not very good, Shang Yi tossed and turned all night, and finally felt that they should have an approving attitude towards His Highness's dealings with Miss Jiu.
So, Shang Yi, who had been excited all night, didn't even sleep, and came early in the morning with the title deed.
When Xun Jiu freshened up and came to the living room, he saw Shang Yi holding his cheeks and smirking.
"Little Fat Face, did you pick up the money?" Xun Jiu walked over and sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.
"What is there to pick up money." Shang Yi came back to his senses, pouted and approached Xun Jiu, smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice, "Miss Jiu, when you and Your Highness are on an uninhabited island, nothing will happen?" β
Xun Jiu reached out and patted his head, "What do you want to happen?" β
"Lonely men and widows, still in that kind of deserted place, can nothing happen......" Shang Yi rubbed the place where Xun Jiu was beaten, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Miss Jiu, you are eccentric!" β
Xun Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Why am I eccentric?" β
Shang Yi looked aggrieved, "Originally, you would go shopping with Gong Yi, go shopping with Xiao Squeak and the chef to the Cowherd Restaurant, you have a good relationship with them, and when you come to me, you will only beat me." β
When Xun Jiu heard this, his face changed instantly, and he quickly covered Shang Yi's mouth, gave him a warning look, and frowned, "Who told you that I went to the Cowherd Pavilion with those two people?" β
"I saw it myself." Shang Yi was covered by her, and her voice was slurred, "I originally wanted to tell Your Highness, but when I thought that you would go to that kind of place without me, I got angry and planned to threaten you." β
"You little brat!" Xun Jiu retracted his hand and glared at him, "When did the wings harden and dare to threaten me?" β
"I don't care anyway." Shang Yi snorted twice, "If you don't do what I say, I'll go and tell Your Highness that you went to the Cowherd Pavilion at night, and you still talked to Xiao Squeak and the chef." β
"You dare!" Xun Jiu's eyes deepened, intending to scare him in terms of momentum.
"I dare!" Shang Yi clasped his hands and tilted his head to the side, as if he expected Xun Jiu not to let Fu Sheng know about it.
The two of them stalemate the kung fu of the tea, after all, Xun Jiu was defeated, rubbed her forehead, and she said, "Okay, what conditions, you open." β
Shang Yi's heart was overjoyed, but he maintained a disregarded attitude on his face, and snorted coldly: "People didn't sleep last night. β
Xun Jiu was stunned for a moment, "You blame me for not sleeping?" β
"They didn't sleep because they asked the three about their attitude towards you and Your Highness. Hum! β
Xun Jiu was speechless for a moment, then stood up, "Don't you just want to say that you haven't slept all night, and you have dark circles under your eyes and your skin has deteriorated, so I can give you a beating?" β
"Humph!" Shang Yi continued to be arrogant.
"Okay, okay." Xun Jiu spread his hands, "As long as you are not afraid of delaying time, I will help you take care of it for free today." β
"Miss Jiu is not allowed to break her promise this time." Shang Yi seemed to remember that the mask Xun Jiu had promised him had not yet landed, and he looked worried.
Xun Jiu also remembered that incident, his expression was slightly embarrassed, and he sloppily looked, "Anyway, now the title deed is in your hands, you are the boss, you have the final say." β
With that, she snapped her fingers and motioned for Shang Yi to come over.
Shang Yi lay on his back on the carved Ximu chaise longue according to Xun Jiu's instructions.
The first two days had nothing to do, Xun Jiu made some mask powder with materials such as Ze Yuan, grass cassia, hawthorn, pearl powder and Angelica dahurica, she used it for Zhaotong little girl, and the effect was not bad, and she also planned to use this for Shang Yi today.
In ancient times, when industrial pollution was extremely low, in fact, as long as people did not work too hard, their skin quality would not be much worse.
Like Shang Yi, although he didn't sleep all night, except for a dark circle under his eyes that was not very obvious, his skin was still smooth and supple, and he didn't need to do any maintenance at all.
Xun Jiu pursed her lips, thinking that the title deed of Xicheng was still in Shang Yi's hands, and since people asked for peace of mind, she had to look at the face of the title deed to reassure him.
First, he cleaned his little face with a simple cleanser made of peach kernels, winter melon seeds, almonds and jade bamboo honey locust powder and lemongrass juice, and then used the unique Xun's acupressure method to completely relax the skin on his face, and finally asked Zhao Tong to help him mix the toning mask powder according to the specified ratio and evenly apply it to Shang Yi's face, and then wash it when the time comes, and then massage it.
After some process, it was already noon.
Shang Yi looked left and right at the bronze mirror, and was very satisfied.
Xun Jiu pinched his shoulders and dragged his somewhat tired body to the table to eat.
Shang Yi drank a bowl of porridge when he came, and he didn't have much appetite at this time, so he sat aside quietly and drank tea and waited for Xun Jiu.
"You're not hungry?" Glancing at Shang Yi who was sitting on the rattan chair with a smile on his eyebrows, Xun Jiu asked by the way.
"I've just finished nursing, so people don't want to eat." Shang Yi gently patted his smooth little face.
Zhao Tong stood aside, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, thinking that Lord Shang should be the most beautiful person among the five, for him, skin is always better than eating and sleeping.
After lunch, a few people finally packed up and went to Xicheng.
The scale of this shop under the Fusheng plate is quite large, the first floor sells jewelry, the second floor is rouge gouache, and the third floor sells silk and satin fabrics.
Most of the goods inside are high-quality products, and the price is relatively expensive, but it is worth the money, and the ladies and ladies of the Yanjing aristocracy like to choose jewelry from this reputable store called "Treasure Xuan".
Xun Jiu listened to Shang Yi's introduction, and thought about how much money did Fu Sheng spend on this place?
was stunned, and suddenly felt that his sleeve was tugged.
Xun Jiu turned her head and saw Zhao Tong's eyes staring at the "Treasure Xuan" opposite, and she was at ease for a while.
Since ancient times, women have no resistance to jewelry, which is a shiny and shining thing that shows her identity, although the little girl has been in the Ji Mansion in the past, but she is a maid in the end, no matter how generous the master is, it is impossible to reward her with something of great value.
Thinking of this, Xun Jiu smiled, and called Shang Yi, who was still talking about the store next to him, "Say a thousand things and ten thousand, why don't you take me directly to see it?" β
Shang Yi grinned, "This place will be the property of Miss Jiu in the future, and you can pick whatever you want when you go in later." β
Xun Jiu raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was good to be the boss.
Without further talking, the three of them walked towards the Treasure Pavilion.
The jewelry on the first floor is full of variety, and the boss is ingenious and sorts it out for display on the counter.
Xun Jiu used to do some research on jewelry, and at a glance, he knew that all the goods on display were good, but he always felt that something was missing.
Zhao Tong had already been attracted by the shining jewels and gems on the counter when he entered the Treasure Pavilion, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
Xun Jiu motioned to her with his chin, "Well, just pick it in the past." β
Zhao Tong got the master's order, and was naturally happy, standing at the counter and carefully looking at it.
Xun Jiu didn't have much interest, anyway, this place was already hers, so he was not in a hurry at all.
Zhao Tong happily picked out jewelry, while she touched her chin and looked around at the store's dΓ©cor.
The shopkeeper of Treasure Hall is a middle-aged man in his forties, he only knows that the shop has changed hands, but he doesn't know that the new owner is Xun Jiu, who is standing in the store.
Glancing at the door, the shopkeeper was stunned.
The late autumn sun is not blazing, pale white as fog, gently and softly shrouded the woman in front of the first row of counters, she is thin and well-proportioned, wearing a long skirt with gold silk white lines and epiphany rain silk swaying on the ground, the hair bun is extremely simple, with a finely carved seawater pattern white hosta loose and loose, the face is like a crescent moon halo, the ring posture is gorgeous, suddenly like Luo Shen descended, the pearl and jade brilliance of the room was darkened, and the two magnolias that were blooming outside the door were ashamed.
The empress of this dynasty is in charge, and there is no shackle of "going out with a veil" for women.
Therefore, as long as the lady and daughter of the family who have come to Zangbao Xuan to buy rouge gouache jewelry and silk satin, most of the shopkeepers have an impression.
But the girl in front of him who was charming in the city, he had never seen or heard of when Yanjing came to such a stunning beauty.
"What does the girl want to buy?" The shopkeeper is very good at watching the limelight, and immediately greeted him in person, smiling all over his face.
Shang Yi Shang Yi was about to speak, but was stopped by Xun Jiu raising his hand, she smiled at the shopkeeper, pointed to Zhao Tong who was picking jewelry in front of the counter, and said slowly: "It's my maid who is picking." β
The shopkeeper turned his head to take a look, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Tong dangling in front of the most expensive row of counters.
To be able to choose such expensive jewelry for the maidservant, the guest must be either rich or expensive.
Smiling again, the shopkeeper bent down a few more points, and made a "please" gesture to Xun Jiu, "Girl, there is a box upstairs dedicated to receiving distinguished guests, you two upstairs, please." β
"Well said." Xun Jiu smiled and groaned, and followed the shopkeeper to the second floor.
The exit of the corridor is divided into two sides, the left side is the rouge gouache exhibition hall, and the right side is the box dedicated to receiving VIPs.
Xun Jiu only glanced to the left and entered the box.
Immediately, a good-looking maidservant girl came to serve tea and melons and fruits.
The shopkeeper bowed and stood aside, with a smile on his face, "Girl, do you have any jewelry you want to buy, our store almost includes the most expensive, the most style, and the best quality jewelry in Yanjing, this is the jewelry list, you see, if you have a special favorite, I will send someone to send samples for you to choose later." β
Xun Jiu nodded and took the booklet handed by the shopkeeper.
The booklet is divided into three sections, with the name of the jewelry at the beginning, the rouge gouache in the middle, and the silk satin at the end.
Each name is marked with a price next to it.
Xun Jiu swept over the pages one by one, always smiling on his face, the things in this, as the shopkeeper said, have everything, basically high-end atmosphere and grade, and the price is expensive.
Shang Yi saw that Xun Jiu didn't move, he sat quietly on the soft chair and flipped through the book, he simply didn't worry, and sat down next to Xun Jiu.
The shopkeeper had already retreated, leaving only two maidservants in the box to serve.
Xun Jiu saw a hairpin called "Riyongqin Book Hairpin", and was about to ask the maid in the box to take a sample to take a look, when he heard a faint noise downstairs.
Shang Yi frowned slightly, got up and went downstairs.
After a while, he came back again, his face was not very good, and he pursed his lips and said, "Miss Jiu, that little girl and the fourth girl of Ji Mansion quarreled over a green hosta. β
Xun Jiu's face changed slightly when he heard this.
Zhao Tong was originally a person from Ji Mansion, although she used to follow Ji Liming, it was impossible for Ji Zhi'er not to recognize her, since she could still quarrel if she knew her, it meant that Ji Zhi'er was here for her, the master.
Putting down the booklet, Xun Jiu stood up, "Let's go, let's take a look." β
Shang Yi didn't speak, and silently followed Xun Jiu.
went downstairs, and sure enough, I saw Ji Zhier's face flushed, and she grabbed half of the hairpin with Zhaotong, and no one let anyone.
Seeing Xun Jiu down, Ji Zhi'er became even more arrogant, glaring at Zhao Tong angrily, and her words were full of mockery, "This is what this girl likes first, what are you a little robbing?" β
Zhao Tong was a little afraid of Ji Zhi'er in Ji Mansion in the past, but now that she has learned a little boldness with Xun Jiu, and then she thought that this was the green hosta she chose for the girl, she felt even more confident, raised her eyes and glared back, "Obviously I got it first, why did the fourth girl say that this hairpin is yours?" β
As soon as Ji Zhi'er heard Zhao Tong call himself "I" in front of her, she immediately sneered, glanced at Xun Jiu without a trace, retracted her gaze after a while, suddenly let go of the green hosta, and looked at the shopkeeper, "How much is this hosta, you say a price, this girl is willing to buy it at twenty times the price." β
"This ......" the shopkeeper hesitated, this green hosta was indeed obtained by the servant girl of the distinguished guest first, and now the four girls of the Ji Mansion have been killed halfway.
Originally, when he heard Ji Zhi'er's words, the shopkeeper was secretly happy in his heart, twenty times the amount of silver, which is a few thousand taels, which is equivalent to half a month's sales of him.
But if it is really sold to the fourth girl at twenty times the price, then it will inevitably offend the distinguished customers upstairs.
Although I don't know which house the guest is, but when I look at the style, it must not be too bad.
The fourth girl of Ji Mansion is an aunt and grandmother who can't be offended, if she doesn't sell it to her, she will definitely make a big fuss in this place today.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper once again showed a look of embarrassment.
Xun Jiu sneered in his heart, Ji Zhi'er used the last time she went to Ji Mansion and forgot to bring money, implying that she was too poor to afford this hosta.
Walking down with a calm face, Xun Jiu took the green hosta from Zhao Tong's hand and glanced at it roughly, it is indeed a rare treasure, the green jade is moist and transparent, the touch is cold, and the touch is smooth, as if caressing the feathers.
Putting the green hosta on the counter, Xun Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at the shopkeeper, "Since the fourth girl asked, the girl also asked, how much is this hairpin?" β
The shopkeeper raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat, and squeezed out four words between his teeth: "Four...... Four hundred taels. β
Zhao Tong's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the shopkeeper angrily, "You open a black shop, right?" How can this hairpin be worth four hundred taels? β
The shopkeeper lowered his head weakly, this green hosta naturally did not have such a high price, but since the two girls were going to compete today, he was also happy to make huge profits from it.
Ji Zhi'er glanced at Zhao Tong with a sneer, the pride in her eyes gradually rose, and she looked at the shopkeeper again, "Eight thousand taels, this hairpin girl is going to be decided!" β
The other customers who watched the bustle outside the door and the jewelry in the store gasped when they heard this.
Eight thousand taels of silver just to buy a hosta, this girl is either brain-pumping or wealthy!
The shopkeeper was obviously also frightened by this astronomical figure.
I am afraid that the only family who can connive at the girl to buy a hairpin with eight thousand taels is a wealthy family like Ji Fu.
No way, who made Ji Zhier the only girl in Ji Mansion?
The shopkeeper was originally secretly rejoicing at the sky-high price of a hairpin, but when he thought about it, if Da Sima and Ji Ershao knew that he dared to sell the hairpin to Ji Zhi'er at such a high price, I am afraid that Treasure Xuan would have to close tomorrow.
After a cold sweat, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Fourth girl, I'm really sorry, this hosta was taken by this distinguished guest early in the morning." He pointed at Xun Jiu.
Hearing this, Ji Zhi'er snorted and laughed, "Distinguished guest? Just her? Do you know who she is? β
"This ......" shopkeeper was confused again, he didn't care too much about the identity of the customer, anyway, as long as he had money, he would be God.
Ji Zhi'er finally stopped laughing, "The only daughter of the murderer Xun Qian's family, Yanjing's red face and trouble, you dare to respect her as a distinguished guest?" Aren't you afraid that the demonic spirit will stain your store and close tomorrow? β
The onlookers outside the door began to point their fingers, and whispered about the case of Xunfu's house being raided, and the words were extremely ugly.
The shopkeeper's face changed suddenly when he heard this.
He only thought that this was the lady who didn't go out often, but he never thought that it was Xun Jiu, the only daughter of the Xun Yuan envoy who was raided not long ago.
Although he was saved by the Golden Book Iron Coupon in the end, his reputation was rotten after all, how could he get into his shop?
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper's eyes were sharp, and he gave Xun Jiu an eviction order with an unkind face, "Girl, please!" The small shop is simple and cannot accommodate the noble atmosphere around you. β
"You!" Zhao Tong gritted his teeth, almost wanting to make a move, but was pulled by Shang Yi next to him, and secretly shook his head at her.
Zhao Tong reluctantly retreated.
Xun Jiu felt a chill in his heart, but he kept a smile on his face, "The shopkeeper is a businessman, and the customer is God, do you understand?" β
The shopkeeper was stared at by Xun Jiu's obviously smiling but cold gaze, his whole body trembled, he hung his head stupidly, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Ji Zhi'er next to her sneered, "Who told you that the customer is God?" β
Xun Jiu raised his eyebrows at her, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, and the smile was cold.
"Rich is God!" Ji Zhi'er ruthlessly threw out a sentence, "A pariah who can't even afford to hire a carriage, can you afford this hairpin?" β
"Can't afford it." Xun Jiu picked up the green hosta and looked at it again and again.
Ji Zhi'er sneered.
"But I'll shout." Xun Jiu added the sentence just now.
The crowd outside the door gasped, the four girls had already shouted eight thousand taels, how high can this penniless girl who had just been raided be able to afford the price?
Ji Zhi'er is fearless, she has long been sure that Xun Jiu has no money to dare to be so arrogant, besides, Ji Mansion has never been short of money, and she is the only girl in the entire mansion, the stars hold the moon, thousands of favors in one, there is never what she doesn't want, and there is nothing she can't get.
Today's green hosta, she is going to decide!
The red lips once again hooked the arc of ridicule, and Ji Zhi'er raised her eyebrows and looked at Xun Jiu, "Shouting price?" You shout, you shout, no matter how much you give, this girl will always have one or two more silver than you! β
"You're deceiving people too much!" Zhao Tong really couldn't stand it, he was beaten and scolded by her when he was in Ji Mansion in the past, but he didn't expect that now he has changed his master, but he was bullied because of a hairpin and even the master.
This breath can be swallowed by the master, but she can't.
Breaking free from the confinement of Shangyi, Zhao Tong rushed forward angrily, and looked at Ji Zhi'er with raised eyebrows, "Rich, rich is amazing, our girl is also something you can trample on casually?" β
"Yo, isn't this a dog that used to be with my second brother?" Ji Zhi'er found a comfortable soft chair and sat down, with a rich expression on her face, "It's only been a few days, and you've found a new owner to change your face and fight people?" β
"You!" Zhao Tong couldn't bear it anymore, and he raised his slap and wanted to hit it.
Ji Zhi'er's eyes were fierce, and she glared at her, "If you dare to fight down, this girl will let you lie down and go out today!" β
Shang Yi was shocked, and hurriedly rushed over to grab Zhao Tong, afraid that she would really be unable to control the fight.
It seemed that Ji Zhi'er only saw at this time that the young man who was following Xun Jiu was Shang Yi, one of the five guards of the Qin Palace.
Squinting her eyes, although Ji Zhi'er was displeased, her tone softened a little, "Brother Shang, how can you be with such a person?" β
Shang Yi frowned, "Please also ask the fourth girl to correct the wording!" β
"What did I say wrong?" Ji Zhi'er stood up from the soft chair with a little starlight in her apricot eyes, and pointed at Xun Jiu, "Her father killed Her Majesty's male concubine with his own hands, she is the daughter of a murderer, I said that, is there anything wrong?" β
"That's right." Xun Jiu's face was calm, and he still smiled lightly, "The four girls are high, and all the people worship everywhere they pass, their character is noble, and their posture is noble." I'm the daughter of a murderer, and I've never denied that. But the Great Yan Law never stipulated that I could not buy anything, and Her Majesty the Empress did not issue a decree prohibiting me from stepping into the Treasure Pavilion, did he? β
Ji Zhi'er looked at her smiling and moaning, and suddenly felt cold on the soles of her feet.
For a moment, she felt that the woman in front of her was like the graceful and noble Empress Emperor on the throne, the kind of Tsinghua that came out of her bones had an extremely oppressive power, as if if she looked at her for a moment, her breath would be taken away.
"So, can we begin?" Xun Jiu's smile remained unchanged, and he pointed to the green hosta in his hand.
Ji Zhi'er knew that she was talking about the price.
With a cold snort, Ji Zhi'er sat back in the soft chair, raised her neck, and looked proud, "This girl is what she says, no matter how high the price you shout, I will have one or two more than you, provided that you have to get the silver, and if you can't get the silver, even if you cheat, leave a finger to go out!" β
The onlookers sighed, and even the shopkeeper turned pale with fright.
The current situation has been sublimated from the competition for the green hosta to the personal grievances of the two girls to the surface.
Although everyone didn't understand what kind of deep hatred the four girls of Ji Mansion and the Xun Jiajiu girls had, looking at the current stalemate, it seemed to be a precursor to the coming storm.
Everyone stretched their necks on tiptoe, their eyes poked in, and their hearts were raised to their throats.
A woman in the store kindly tugged on Xun Jiu's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Girl, I think you should quickly put down the hairpin and leave, you have already shouted eight thousand taels of silver, this is not a small amount, you are a girl's family, where did you get so much silver?" Besides, if you have it, take 8,000 taels of silver to buy a hairpin that can only be seen but not eaten, and go back, won't you waste the silver in vain? β
Xun Jiu smiled, "There is no silver and fingers, Madam doesn't have to worry." β
"Alas......" the woman sighed regretfully, if such a beautiful girl was missing a finger, how could she marry in the future!
Ji Zhi'er glanced at Xun Jiu and reminded her, "Xun Jiu, if you are afraid, go outside and make amends to this girl in front of everyone, this girl has a lot, let you go, otherwise if you are stubborn, you will not blame me for chopping your fingers mercilessly!" β
Xun Jiu didn't hear it, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Just now the fourth girl said that if I can't get the silver, I'll cut off my fingers, what if you can't take it out?" β
"Joke!" Ji Zhi'er's maid stood up, her face full of contempt, "Our girl is the granddaughter of the dignified Sima, can she come up with the money?" β
The corners of his mouth hooked, Xun Jiu said: "If the fourth girl can't take it out, she has to make me a foot-washing girl for two months." β
As soon as Xun Jiu's words came out, the pot exploded outside.
"Is this girl out of her mind?"
"I don't think she's recovered from the excitement of raiding her home."
"This girl is so angry, Da Sima's granddaughter washes her feet, and she is not afraid of flashing her tongue when she speaks!"
Xun Jiu directly ignored everyone and stared at Ji Zhi'er tightly.
"What a foot-washing girl!" Ji Zhi'er burst into a rage, "You are simply whimsical! β
"What are the four girls so excited about?" Xun Jiu said lightly: "Anyway, what your family has is money, or did you admit defeat in advance?" β
"Who's afraid of whom!" Ji Zhi'er's cruel eyes gouged over.
The last time Xun Jiu went to Jifu, he used Yu Yi to deceive her, and it was over that she broke her cup and got angry in the past few days, but she didn't expect that when Her Majesty the Empress went to Shangyong, she knew from the mouths of the people that Yu Yi had already become the male concubine of the empress.
With this breath, she naturally couldn't go to the empress to vent, so the woman in front of her had to pay for her anger!
Thinking of this, Ji Zhi'er's eyes were horizontal, "If this girl can't come up with the money, I'm willing to make you a foot-washing girl for two months!" β
