Chapter 191: The Murong Family
The boy next to him naturally had no opinion, Su Manxue himself took the initiative to put it forward, and he also knew that the other party was above board.
Although Murong Li was very relieved of the other party, since the other party had been kindly invited, there was no need for her to refuse, so the two of them contacted Jiuhua together to buy that piece of ice jade.
"I'm Murong Li, I don't know what this young lady is called."
The other party greeted politely, but Ji Jiuhua grabbed in front of Su Manxue, blocking the other party's gaze at Su Manxue, although he knew that the other party had no malicious intent. And Su Manxue also wore a veil, but he still unconsciously stood in the way.
"We came here from Liuli Country, my name is Ji Jiuhua, and this is my wife."
Although Murong Li is also the son of a family, he still knows relatively little about the affairs of other countries.
What's more, Ji Jiuhua, as the richest man in Liuli Country, is really too low-key on weekdays, and it may also have something to do with their Murong family, that is, the incident when Ji Jiuhua bought lapis lazuli in Qingjin Country a few years ago.
However, only a few people in Qingjin Kingdom who participated in that incident knew about those things, and Murong Li's father thought that there was no need to tell Murong Li, who was still young at the time, about this matter.
Their family and Ji Jiuhua will not have any business dealings, after all, their business does not involve Liuli Kingdom, so Murong Li did not realize Ji Jiuhua's worth at this moment, but this is fine, and he will not feel particularly pressured.
"So that's the case, I've been curious in my heart just now, no one in Qingjin Country should be able to take out such a large sum of silver taels at once, and I don't know the identity of the other party at all, now I know that there are people outside the world, since you are from Liuli Kingdom, I am really sorry for this matter."
Murong Li personally opened the curtain in the inner room and let the two of them go in together. His etiquette is very thorough, and he is not like those frivolous nobles outside, and he is still relatively down-to-earth.
"The two of you are Young Master Ji and Young Lady Ji, this is the ice jade you photographed, and now you will pay the money with one hand and deliver it with the other, which is also our rule."
The people of the Treasure Pavilion put that piece of ice jade in a relatively large box, according to reason, it is absolutely impossible for the jade to emit light by itself, and it is not a night pearl, but they specially hit the light on it. It also shows a bit of unusual charm.
Murong Li was also a little excited when he saw this piece of ice seed jade, and rubbed his fingers in the palm of his hand, he also sold a small part of his property for this piece of ice seed jade.
It wasn't until the day before that he had made up all the cash, and although the price of jadeite had now exceeded his own expectations, it was still within the range he could accept.
Murong Li has other shops that are profitable, and he can take out the silver taels and call them.
Su Manxue paid all the silver according to the price she had auctioned, and the other party didn't seem to be very surprised, after all, every country has a treasure pavilion, and the treasure pavilion is a real chain store, and they are all related to each other.
For example, some of the goods that were revealed in advance last time and were not ready to be auctioned in Liuli Country have all flocked to other countries, as long as they are rare treasures, there is no need to worry about whether they will be auctioned or not.
Xiang Si should have already returned to Xiang's house by herself, so there are no Xiang family's servants behind them, which shows that her willingness not to meddle in this matter is very strong, and Xiang Si will not continue to be bored in this matter.
Xiang Si wasn't sure if Ji Jiuhua and Su Manxue could save her a little face in front of outsiders, she still wanted the face of the eldest lady of the Xiang family.
After getting the jade, they went to the Murong family together, the Murong family's mansion is not very luxurious, but the bookish atmosphere is very strong, it looks like a scholar's family, Su Manxue vaguely guessed that the Murong family should also be engaged in clerical work.
"My father is the head of the Hanlin Academy, so there are more rules in the family, you take a break in the front hall, I will go and report to the chief manager first, as for the matter, please keep it secret from the two of you, it is a surprise, I don't want to show it in advance."
Murong Li's face was a little embarrassed, he was not very good at deceiving people, and he went to get the key to the warehouse at this time, but fortunately, he told the manager that he was still relatively open-minded, and as the heir of the Murong family, the manager would not stop him, for fear that the manager would tell his father that he still needed to spend some time explaining why he needed to go to the warehouse.
But after a while, Murong Li came back, took Su Manxue and Ji Jiuhua to the warehouse and pushed open the door, the front was all simple furnishings, and they were all relatively ordinary objects.
Many of them are some utensils in the house, and only when they go inside are they placed a little neatly, and there are some bottles and cans on the shelves.
Some of the well-made ones were covered with small boxes and stuffed at the bottom, for fear that they would fall off if they were placed on top.
But these things, Murong Li also knew that the two of them would not be interested, so he went straight to the last room, there was a lock hanging on it, and the housekeeper gave him the key as well, and after pushing the door open and entering, there was a wall.
Murong Li operated again, Su Manxue and Ji Jiuhua retreated outside out of politeness, turned their heads back, and didn't watch him operate, Murong Li opened the secret door, and they walked in together.
The situation inside is more neat than the outside, according to the same category of the same seal, because they are a scholar, so there is a place dedicated to books, there are some ancient books are more precious, so it is unified in a box, one by one let go, so as not to damage what pages.
On the other side, there are some rare treasures, but in Su Manxue's opinion, it is also a relatively ordinary thing, after all, what does the Ji family want, and the Ji family's warehouse is much more luxurious than this.
She just wanted to see if there was anything that surprised her, otherwise it would be better for her to pick one at the Ji family than this.
After all, the scholar family is a decent person, and there are no particularly valuable things in the family, although these are already the collections of the Murong family, but they are not particularly on the stage.
"You come here and choose, it's all my own treasure, even if I take it, my father won't care, and I don't want to exchange the things in the house for something, it's my own mind."
Murong is a little more from his collection, and the ordinary objects outside are even more unusual, at this time, he is a little excited, after all, it is a girl, and crystal things that can shine have a natural attraction.
But Su Manxue still didn't forget what she meant originally, so she took a closer look at the row of objects.
