Chapter 196: Trading Lapis Lazuli

In fact, he knew that he was as smart as Xiang Si, and in fact, he used this incident to sound the alarm bell for him, telling him that he just broke his knee this time, and he didn't know where it would be next time.

"It's easy to say where Xiao Si went, but the big deal is that he suddenly became seriously ill and could be sent to Zhuangzi in the countryside, so that he could recuperate, and he would naturally recover slowly in two years."

Although it was said that the two of them had made up their minds about the Xiang family and their husbands, no one could sleep well this night, whether it was Xiang Si or Xiang Prime Minister and Mrs. Xiang, they were all very tormented, and maybe the only ones who slept better could only be Su Manxue and Ji Jiuhua.

They didn't know that so many things had happened in one night, and Xiang Si actually wanted to follow them back to Liuli Kingdom, which no one could have predicted at all.

On the morning of the second day, Su Manxue got up early in the morning, and all the decorations were dressed up very grandly.

Not only that, but they also dressed up with Ji Jiuhua, the image of the two of them was more or less embarrassed last time, how can this time be the same as last time, so casual.

After all, it is to see the emperor and discuss business with the emperor, and you have to be thoughtful about the courtesy, even if you don't negotiate in the end, the transaction will not be benevolent, so as not to let others feel that you don't attach importance to this transaction.

"At first glance, I thought you were nervous, but seeing that you were busy and methodical, I was relieved." Ji Jiuhua didn't think about how early it was, but Su Manxue's movement was too big, and he also dragged him up and tried the clothes he had just bought two days ago.

"You've traded before, you're experienced. This is the first time I have done business with the emperor, and I want to be more or less formal, how can you let me not experience this sense of ceremony at all. ”

Su Mengxue was talking, the movements in her hands did not stop, she had been busy sorting out some things, not only did she have to prepare to go to the palace this morning, but they were ready to leave for Liuli Country soon after they came back from the palace, so the time was still quite tight.

After about half an hour, Su Manxue finally cleaned up, and even Ji Jiuhua was ready.

This morning, Xiang Si unexpectedly did not appear in their sight, and Su Manxuele's quiet nature did not ask her where she was.

"Young Master Ji, Young Mrs. Ji, the eldest lady of our family is not very well today, so she is resting in the room, it is inconvenient to see people, and today, the two of you are ready to leave Qingjin Kingdom, so there is no need for us to follow, not to mention that it is not easy for us to enter and exit at will, in this case, the Prime Minister and Sister Xiaojin will wait for the two of you in the palace at that time."

Although Tsing Yi was very upset about her own young lady in her heart, she knew that there was no place for her to talk here, so she would not make a mistake and cause unnecessary trouble to her eldest lady.

Although Su Manxue didn't know what was going on, as long as Xiang Si didn't follow the two of them like a fly, she was still in a good mood, and the feeling of being one less troublesome spirit was really different.

This time Su Manxue and Ji Jiuhua arrived at the palace, not only did someone take them in, but everyone looked at the two of them very respectfully, probably knowing that the status of these two people was equivalent to the God of Wealth, so everyone looked at them both with a little awe.

Even if the two of them are businessmen, and the country values agriculture and suppresses business, but in the face of this kind of person who can do business with the emperor, who doesn't have a little awe in their hearts?

"I've been waiting here for a long time, and I'm looking forward to the arrival of the two of you as soon as I get to the morning, and Ji Gongzi is really happy today."

Since it was already past breakfast time, there were some fruits and dried nuts on the table in glass utensils, all of which little girls like to eat, but unfortunately this is not the case in reality, Su Manxue is not too good, but Ji Jiuhua likes it very much.

So much so that Su Manxue didn't know whether the emperor was catering to Ji Jiuhua's taste, or if he wanted to please her Su Manxue, gag her mouth, and prevent him from making random offers.

"I have talked about it a few days ago, and I have the heart to cooperate, so naturally I want to talk about it with the emperor, since the emperor said that the quality of this batch is different from the previous one, because the quality is high, so it will be more expensive.

I also agree with this, as long as the emperor comes up with solid evidence to prove that the value of these lapis lazuli is higher than the previous one, I can also consider re-bidding. ”

As soon as Su Manxue stretched out her hand, there was a thick stack of silver tickets on the table in front of her, although the visual impact did not put a plate of silver, and the gold should be conspicuous, but the value of that silver ticket was really a small amount compared to the silver taels.

"You have lived in the prime minister's house these days, and you should have a deeper understanding of the prime minister's character, this time I didn't participate in it, and specially asked the prime minister to do a notarization and find a particularly famous appraiser, I think you have also heard of his name, this person is the royal treasure connoisseur of the Treasure Pavilion, so there is no deception and fraud."

There is indeed a person standing next to the emperor of the Qingjin Kingdom, he is magnificent, not like an ordinary person, he will cringe in this kind of place, he doesn't dare to say or do more, for fear of doing something wrong.

"Since it is the person recommended by the emperor, then I am naturally relieved, hurry up and take out the lapis lazuli to see, Jiuhua and I are going back this afternoon, so the time is still very tight, this batch of lapis lazuli is also troublesome to the emperor, personally help us find someone to transport to the glazed country, the price can naturally be negotiated, we are not familiar with the place, just want to make it convenient."

Su Manxue had thought about it carefully last night, with the carriage she and Ji Jiuhua had, it was absolutely impossible to transport so many gems back from Qingjin Country, even if it was a cart out for storage, it was impossible.

And it is easy to have accidents on the road, if Qingjin Guo personally helps with the transportation, if there is a problem, it will all be counted on the head of Qingjin Guo, which is also a reason why Su Manxue is willing to pay, the price can be high, but as long as it arrives safely, there is no loss.

"What Young Madam Ji said is reasonable, our Qingjin Kingdom will definitely send these things back to you safe and sound, and please rest assured that Young Master Ji and Young Madam Ji will soon let the palace maids take out this batch of lapis lazuli together, in fact, there is no need for any appraisal at all, you can see for yourself what is the difference with the previous batch."

The emperor said so, Su Manxue didn't think she could see anything.

After all, she Su Manxue really doesn't have any understanding of lapis lazuli, if it is placed on the gems that she enjoys a lot on weekdays, maybe there are still some opportunities.
