Chapter 10: Radical
The next day, Min-yeon went out and went straight to the largest jewelry store in Kyoto, Yumanlou.
Yumanlou stands in the middle of the most prosperous Changsheng Street, and every day customers come like clouds, and a unique set of head jewelry will be launched every month, and the nobles of Kyoto are proud to have that unique jewelry, not only because it is beautiful, but also a symbol of status and wealth.
This is one of the industries under Minyan's name, but on the surface, the boss here is Lu Youye.
Known as Boss Lu.
Lu Youye looks like he is in his fifties, his face is full of loyalty and honesty, honesty and reliability, but those who know him know that this person has started a business, his mind is full of Taoism, and he seems to have endless ideas in his heart, which makes Minyan's business thriving.
In the spacious hall, more than 30 cabinets are furnished, which are filled with delicate gold, silver and jade ornaments.
Every third cabinet is in charge of a guy with a good face.
At this time, there are already many people choosing things, a woman put a bracelet on her hand and tried it, not satisfied, and changed to another, so several times, the guy did not have a trace of impatience, and waited with a sweet smile.
The things on the first floor are not very valuable, but they are better than the exquisite workmanship, those who are from medium-sized families, or girls from small families are married, and there is a piece of jade jewelry that is full of buildings, and they still have a very long face.
The things on the second floor have gone up a few grades, and if you can afford to buy it, you will have to make a little money.
The third floor is the most valuable, who added something to the young lady, if it was bought on the third floor of Yumanlou, then everyone will look at her differently.
Min Yan got off the bus at the door of Yumanlou, and Shopkeeper Lu had already received the news, but it was difficult to come down because he wanted to hide his identity.
Min Yan kept a calm face and went directly to the third floor, where there was a compartment in the innermost hidden place on the third floor to manage the accounts.
As soon as Min Yan went up to the third floor, Shopkeeper Lu was at the door of the compartment, ready to greet her, when she heard a yin and yang strange voice say, "Yo, who is this!" How dare you go out these days. β
Min Yan doesn't need to think about it to know who this person is, the daughter of the eldest princess Yu Zhen, Pu Jingyi, the lord of Kangtai County, the two families are cousins, but her relationship with Min Xiu is very good, and she can't get used to Min Yan's behavior, so she has stood up for her many times.
When she was unlucky in her previous life, she beat the water dogs a lot.
Min Yeon looked back and saw Pu Jingyi sitting on a chair with two noble girls, and there were a lot of things on the table in front of her, which seemed to be buying jewelry.
The two noble girls tugged on Pu Jingyi's sleeves, meaning to let her not cause trouble, those two were ordinary family backgrounds, so naturally they didn't dare to mess with Minyan, but Pu Jingyi felt that she was also a county lord, why did she lower her every time, so she didn't pay attention to it at all.
Min Yan smiled: "County Lord Kangtai, it seems that the last lesson has not taught you how to be a person, and it has only been a long time, and you have no memory." β
Hearing this, Pu Jingyi's face flashed with hatred, and then she suddenly laughed again, laughing with schadenfreude and bad intentions.
"I heard that you were given to marry Shen Cheng, the general of Zhenguo, and I haven't come here to congratulate you, I heard that General Zhenguo is eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and my cousin will be blessed in the future."
Saying that, covering her mouth and laughing, Minyan cut and said, "You just want to see my jokes, but my Qi Minyan's jokes are not so good-looking." β
As he spoke, he walked towards her step by step, remembering the slap last time, Pu Jingyi was stunned, and said with a stiff neck: "You, what do you want to do, don't forget, the emperor's uncle has already reprimanded you last time." β
Min Yan smiled, "A few painless reprimands in exchange for a slap, I will earn it too." β
Looking at Pu Jingyi's gradually changing face, Min Yan sneered and said softly: "Don't worry, I won't beat you this time, I just want to say that these things you see are too expensive to buy, so don't die to save face." β
Pu Jingyi blushed, "Who said I can't afford it." β
Princess Yuzhen, although she is a princess, but she is not the favored one, the Pu family who married was still beautiful for two years at first, but now it has gradually fallen silent, which can be seen from Pu Jingyi's dress.
Bipu Jingyi has a high spirit, and she can't listen to others say that her family is poor, especially the arrogant and domineering Qi Minyan.
Min Yeon smiled and looked her up and down, and that contemptuous gaze made Pu Jingyi's face flush with shame.
I only heard Minyan say: "I know, next month is your gift, look at the hairpin on your head is still last year's tricks, you really don't have enough money, just buy one or two to support the faΓ§ade, why embarrass yourself and your aunt." β
Pu Jingyi subconsciously touched her head, and said with a stalk around her neck: "My hairpin is just a hurry to go out, and it is inserted casually, and there are many things that are fashionable at home, not only you Qi Minyan bought things on the third floor of the Yumanlou." β
Saying that, Pu Jingyi greeted his fellow and said proudly: "Come here, wrap up everything I just saw and send it to Princess Yuzhen's mansion." β
The guy saw that she couldn't make up her mind just now, and didn't know which one to buy, but after a few words, he bought them all, and happily went to get the box.
Pu Jingyi looked, hairpins, bracelets, pendants, there are always more than ten kinds of zero, and this is not counting the set of heads and faces she watched.
Min Yan reminded with a smile: "Man, you have to check carefully, but don't ask someone to find fault with it and return it in two days." β
This word fell, and made Pu Jingyi blush, once she took a fancy to a gold-inlaid plum blossom hairpin, the petals and stamens were lifelike, she really liked it, so she bought it back, who knew the price by her mother, and returned it with a flaw in the hairpin.
It just so happened that Mrs. Nanping Hou was also there that day, it was a small trumpet in Kyoto, who had a short parent, she knew, or it wouldn't be long before it spread all over the capital.
Mrs. Nanping Hou looked at the hairpin for a long time and didn't see anything wrong, so everyone guessed that Princess Yuzhen must be too expensive and didn't want to find it.
That incident made her embarrassed among the nobles, and she also remembered that the things she bought just now were more than ten times more expensive than the hairpin.
Pu Jingyi regretted it at this time, and wanted to say no, but Qi Minyan looked at her fiercely, as if she decided that she couldn't afford it.
Pu Jingyi gritted her teeth and said: "That's it, man, you have to look carefully, if there is any problem, it is not as simple as returning it." β
"Yes, yes, the little one is carefully checked."
After buying so many things at once, Pu Jingyi felt that she could finally raise her head, and looked at Minyan's eyes full of pride.
Min Yan cooperated and made a surprised look, "You really want to buy it, these add up, it's almost 10,000 taels!" β
Pu Jingyi chuckled in her heart, but said contemptuously on her face: "Isn't it just a matter of 10,000 taels, it's also worth your fuss, okay, the county lord still has something to do, so I won't talk to you." β
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the staircase, and the two nobles hurriedly saluted Minyan and hurriedly followed.
Min Yan chuckled, if it weren't for the fact that she walked with the same hands and feet, she really thought that she didn't care about the ten thousand taels of silver.
Pu Jingyi left, and Shopkeeper Lu showed up.
"County Lord."
Min-yeon nodded and took the lead towards the cubicle.
When they arrived at the door of the compartment, the two girls consciously guarded there, and Minyan and Shopkeeper Lu entered.
When he arrived at the house, Shopkeeper Lu said with a straight face: "County Lord, the three people you asked the old slave to check have been found out, they are assigned by the Zhongqin Uncle's Mansion, but there is still the shadow of the third prince behind him, so the old slave didn't dare to investigate further." β
Min Yan's expression turned cold, and she said in a deep voice: "You did the right thing, we can't compete with the prince at the moment." β
"That ......"
"The county lord will only treat those three people as sent by the Zhongqin Mansion now, and you will only keep an eye on the Zhongqin Mansion to see what else he will do next."
"Yes, there is also Yunzhou Wen Yiquan that the county lord asked me to check two months ago, but the old slave has rummaged through Yunzhou, and there is no person who the county lord said."
Min Yeon's face changed, "No? β
"Yes, the surname is Yiquan, the old slave did find two, but the gentleness and elegance that the county lord said are not a little bit worse, and they are just ordinary people, and they haven't even read books."
Min Yan sat there stunned, unable to figure out how there would be no such person, in her previous life, she had harmed herself so badly, poured medicine, thrown her into the mountains and forests, and let her be eaten raw by wild beasts, and now she was told that there was no such person, so why was she reborn?
Or is it because he was born again, so there are many things that have deviated from the trajectory of the previous life, like giving marriage......
After being silent for a long time, Minyan said weakly: "I know, if I can't find it, I won't look for it!" β
"Yes."
