"Shopkeeper, I'm afraid this jewelry is not made by the craftsmen in the palace, right?" Gu Muyan laughed, looked up at the shopkeeper and asked.

I saw a trace of panic flash in the shopkeeper's eyes, but the next moment he regained his composure and said, "I haven't seen this young lady before, so I don't think I come here often, right?" ”

It's just that Gu Muyan doesn't come often, she hasn't even come at all, but she doesn't think it's a problem, so she raised her eyes and asked, "It's true that I don't come often, but what does this matter have to do with whether I come often or not?" ”

"Hmph, Miss Su, with all due respect, this friend of yours is probably also a person who wants to take advantage of the loopholes in the shop! Be careful! Don't be deceived by this cat and dog who don't know where they came from! The shopkeeper arched his hand at Su Ziran, and said bluntly, quite a posture of wanting to teach Gu Muyan a hard lesson for Su Ziran!

However, how could Su Ziran listen to the words of the shopkeeper, and slapped the table and said heavily: "This is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she is the county lord of the Qin Dynasty today, and the shopkeeper must weigh it carefully before speaking!" ”

The shopkeeper originally had a posture of wanting to drive Gu Muyan out, but Su Ziran's words had fallen, and the shopkeeper hurriedly knelt down in front of Gu Muyan and begged for mercy: "Lord County, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai!" Dare to speak disrespectfully, I hope the adults don't blame, the adults don't remember the villain, and go around the small this time! ”

"Hmph, then tell me where this thing came from, in this way, the county lord will not punish you!" Gu Muyan sneered and asked again.

The shopkeeper hesitated, knelt on the ground and said something about himself, but he didn't mention the question that Gu Muyan asked him where these gold ornaments came from.

At this time, Gu Muyan was also angry, and simply turned around and ordered Yi Jin: "Yi Jin, report to the official, let the people from the government deal with it." ”

"Yes, miss." Yi Jin received the order, and he was about to go out with his fists in his hands.

But the shopkeeper dodged, quickly ran to the door and blocked the exit, and then knelt down and discussed with Gu Muyan: "Lord County, this villain can tell you, but you are afraid that you have to buy back this jewelry, otherwise the small one is really not easy to deal with, and I hope that the county lord will not say that it is a villain!" ”

Yi Jin saw that the man was going to discuss with Gu Muyan, and besides, this exit was also blocked by him, so he turned his head and asked Gu Muyan with his eyes.

Gu Muyan nodded slightly, got up and walked a few steps forward, stopped at the five steps of the shopkeeper, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the shopkeeper in front of him.

In the end, he chose to believe the shopkeeper, and instructed Yi Jin: "Take eight hundred taels to this shopkeeper." ”

"Miss! That's eight hundred taels! Yi Jin clutched her wallet in distress and looked at Gu Muyan with a reluctant face.

But Gu Muyan's eyes at this time were unusually firm, and he didn't allow Yi Jin to refute at all.

Although Su Ziran didn't know why Gu Muyan was obsessed with this craftsman, she couldn't help but interrupt with a smile when she looked at her and her maid in such a stalemate: "That's it, shopkeeper, I think this jewelry is only three hundred taels, this is also a bargain, no one will really buy it at your price, how about we collect three hundred taels to help you with this?" ”

The shopkeeper thought for a while before he nodded, Gu Muyan hurriedly gave Yi Jin another look, and this time he saved five hundred taels at once, Yi Jin finally let go, took out his purse, touched three silver tickets of one hundred taels and handed them to the shopkeeper.

Then the shopkeeper told Gu Muyan all the details of the craftsman.

It turns out that the craftsman was born into a family, but this family in the capital is changing every year, this Wang Xinyu was originally a young lady in the boudoir, and there are elders in the family who love her, so naturally there will be no lack of anything.

It's just that the young ladies on the side like clothes and jewelry, and come to shop every day, chant poems and taste tea, but this Wang Xinyu is the opposite, she bought back the jewelry to study the structure of it, and then make an identical one herself.

This back and forth, this Wang Xinyu's handiwork has been ingenious, often with their own jewelry, which has also aroused the jealousy of other ladies, after all, afraid of the degree of fine jewelry, those young ladies who don't know much about anything naturally think it is a royal thing.

Therefore, I took this opportunity to tell the elders of my family that the Wang family's money came from unknown sources, and there were a few innocent people in the capital, and there were many people who knew about it, and the words of people were terrible, and the government naturally wanted to send someone to investigate, and this investigation found out that the Wang family bribed officials and made false accounts.

On that day, Wang Xinyu happened to go out to worship the Buddha, so he was not arrested, the Wang family has been raided, but it is not difficult to rescue the family in prison, it is not difficult to buy it for some money, and the left and right are not the case decided by the saint himself, and there are not many people who know, and when he redeems his family, he leaves the capital and starts over.

"I don't want to listen to this nonsense, tell me where to find her?" Of course Gu Muyan knew this, she only cared about that person.

Hearing that it was Wang Xinyu who made these jewelry, Gu Muyan reluctantly listened patiently, but he didn't expect the shopkeeper's Rory to say so much, but he didn't get to the point, Gu Muyan was in a hurry.

"This, this villain doesn't know, she came to the door, our owner kept this set, and ordered not to say anything, if it is not sold within a month, it will be accepted by the store and give her the money." The shopkeeper shook his head and said.

Gu Muyan could see that the shopkeeper didn't lie, so he didn't ask any further, paid the money and took the things and left.

"Yan'er, why are you looking for a woman to make this jewelry? And how did you tell that this jewelry was not made by a craftsman in the palace? Out of the gold shop, Su Ziran hurriedly chased after Gu Muyan and asked.

But Gu Muyan didn't explain immediately, but waited for the group to leave the street before slowly explaining to Su Ziran: "Have you seen the signature on this gold ornament?" Although it is not the real name, it can be seen that it took a lot of thought to come out. ”

"So what?" Su Ziran still didn't understand, tilted his head and looked at Gu Muyan and asked.

Seeing that Su Ziran still didn't understand, Gu Muyan continued to say: "The people in this palace are all high-quality people, and the things used in this palace must naturally be of the highest quality, so the craftsmen in this palace will never come out to make jewelry for the people outside, even if there are really one or two of them who come out to do it, they will never leave such a thing as a signature, otherwise if they are found, they will be sentenced to death at the light of the case, and they will be beheaded all over the house." ”

"Ahh And so it was! I don't even know! What did Yan do with that person? Could it be that we knew each other before? Su Ziran asked suspiciously.

When I listened to the shopkeeper just now, although Wang Xinyu was also a family, his family affairs were definitely not as good as Gu Muyan's, and he definitely wouldn't have anything to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion or the Taifu Mansion, so how did Gu Muyan know him?

"It's true that I knew each other before, but I don't remember me compared to her, but I remember this craft, so I want to find her, and I need her help with something." Gu Muyan said slowly, and there was nothing in his expression.

Although the two have not officially met in this life, there are still some origins in the previous life, so they can be regarded as acquaintances, not to deceive Su Ziran.

Then Gu Muyan said that he suddenly remembered something, so he said that he wanted to go back to the house, and then handed Fang Cai's jewelry to Su Ziran and said, "You will give this jewelry to your mother!" ”

"But didn't you say that the things in this palace are for human use? What if others misunderstand, besides, even if the price is three hundred taels, it is really too expensive! Su Ziran shook his head and hurriedly said.

But Gu Muyan smiled again: "The reason why Wang Xinyu made such a style that is not trendy, I am afraid that he also wants to sell it to the wife of a dignitary, just take it back to Mrs. Su as a gift, although this craft looks like it is spread in the palace, but fortunately, there is her engraving on it, which is a rare safe thing." ”

"Really, then I still have to give you this money, but I haven't brought enough at this time, you take this first, and when I go back to the mansion, I will send someone to send it to the mansion for you." Su Ziran hurriedly took the purse from the arms of the maid beside him, handed it to Gu Muyan, and said.

However, Gu Muyan still didn't accept it, but continued to shake his head and said, "Okay, what are you and I still paying attention to, just think of it as a gift from you and me to Mrs. Su!" It's just today's incident, Su Su don't tell others. ”

Seeing that Gu Muyan insisted, Su Ziran couldn't say anything more, nodded and accepted this set of jewelry and said, "Don't worry, Yan Xiang and I won't say it." ”

After assuring Gu Muyan, the two then said goodbye to each other.

After the two separated, Gu Muyan went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion directly, which even Yi Jin didn't expect, and asked Gu Muyan suspiciously: "I thought that Miss was going to find that person named Wang Xinyu!" I didn't expect to really go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion! ”

"As far as you girl cares a lot, I have something to take when I go back to the house, and when I'm done, we'll go to find the one named Wang Xinyu." Gu Muyan tapped his already head with his hand, shook his head and explained.

After returning to the Wuyuan Garden, Gu Muyan locked himself in the study alone, and did not come out until the evening.

Originally, Yi Jin always thought that Gu Muyan would have something in his hand, but he didn't see anything, but it was already late this day, and if Gu Muyan went out at this time, I was afraid that he would attract criticism.

And Gu Muyan was going out, Yi Jin also told Yi Xiang about going out, and Xiang Xiang was also worried about something, so he asked Yi Jin more: "Does Miss still want to go out now?" ”
