Chapter 348: Sky-high pearls
The shopkeeper didn't stay much of Lin Ruan, and when she left with her front foot, she hurriedly carried the box into the private room with her back foot.
Private rooms and cubicles are two different concepts entirely.
The private room is on the third floor of Tiansheng Jewelry, which is decorated in a very stylish manner, revealing a low-key atmosphere, not luxurious, but full of connotation.
Wei Manyin was pestering the three princes, pretending to inquire about things in Kyoto, and inquired about Xiao Jingchen's affairs without a trace.
The third prince has seven tricks in his mind, how could he not know her thoughts, so he naturally followed her thoughts.
He very much hopes that this cousin can marry Xiao Jingchen, so that even if Xiao Jingchen is not his person in the future, Xiao Jingchen will also have his people by his side.
Wei Manyin knew a lot of things about Xiao Jingchen this time, and she was very happy, although these things were of little value to her, let alone Xiao Jingchen's whereabouts, but she knew a lot about his past, which made her feel that she knew him better.
Shopkeeper Kong carried the box upstairs, opened the box, and respectfully handed it to the entourage of the third prince.
When the attendant took it, his eyes lit up when he saw the pearl inside.
The third prince didn't have much expectation, after all, he was such an existence, and he had never seen anything good, but when the box pearl was presented to him, he was also amazed.
Wei Manyin couldn't help but exclaim on the spot: "Oh my God, it's so beautiful!" ”
Then he grabbed the sleeve of the Three Emperors and shook it straight: "Cousin, it's so beautiful, buy it quickly!" ”
The third prince nodded again and again: "Yes, Uncle Kong, how much silver are these pearls?" This prince asked for it. ”
The shopkeeper Kong said without red breath: "Sixty thousand taels." ”
Wei Manyin gasped: "It's so expensive!" ”
The third prince took the fan and tapped his palm: "Cheng." ”
As he spoke, he asked his attendant to pay the bill.
Wei Manyin hurriedly stopped, turned to the shopkeeper Kong and said, "Old man Kong, you tell the truth, how much silver did you spend to collect these pearls?" ”
The shopkeeper Kong half-bent over, arched his hand and said: "Miss Wei, our store has always been honest in doing business, and the price is naturally different from the selling price, but it is definitely not the kind of profiteer who does black-hearted business." ”
Wei Manyin snorted: "Come less, what kind of virtue do you Tiansheng Jewelry, I know it in my heart." This pearl is fifty-five thousand taels in the sky. ”
Shopkeeper Kong looked embarrassed: "Miss Wei, you have to let us make some money, I spent 55,000 taels on this pearl, this ......"
Wei Manyin seemed to be holding the pigtail of the shopkeeper Kong, and her eyes flashed: "What's the matter, I'll just say that you old man is a profiteer, and you still don't admit it, you fell in the middle, and before half an hour arrived, you dared to open your mouth to collect 60,000 taels, this silver is too easy to earn." ”
Shopkeeper Kong's face was full of wry smiles, and he didn't know how to reply.
Wei Manyin still refused to give up, and insisted on buying these pearls for 55,000 taels.
The third prince knocked her head with a fan: "Look at your domineering appearance, I don't know if it will be convenient to marry you in the future?" These pearls, 60,000 taels are worth a lot, and in a few days it will be the emperor's grandmother's thousand autumns, and these pearls are the most suitable for birthday gifts. ”
Wei Manyin's eyes lit up: "These pearls are so beautiful and precious, dedicated to the Queen Mother, they can definitely overpower the limelight of other princes in one fell swoop." ”
The third prince smiled and didn't speak, but obviously agreed with Wei Manyin's meaning.
"It's a pity that the price is still a bit expensive." Wei Manyin turned her head to look at the shopkeeper Kong again: "Old man Kong, you also heard that these pearls are to be dedicated to the Queen Mother." At that time, the Queen Mother will know that this pearl comes from your Tiansheng, and what a great honor it is for you, so why don't you hurry up and give it cheaper. ”
Shopkeeper Kong smiled bitterly: "Miss Wei, Xiao Lao'er really can't be the master, I just show the store to the owner, this ...... Xiao Lao'er can only be charged at the price he collects, and if there is more, Xiao Lao'er really has no right to call the shots. Otherwise, the little old man will go to tell the owner and see what the owner means, what does the girl think? ”
Wei Manyin was agreeing, and the third prince said: "Okay Manyin, you have given Uncle Kong a big problem, if this spreads, people will not say that this prince is bullying?" ”
After that, he turned his head to the shopkeeper Kong and said, "Uncle Kong, just follow your wishes, don't listen to her nonsense." ”
Shopkeeper Kong hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for the third prince for your thoughtfulness. ”
After the silver and goods were sold, Wei Manyin suddenly asked, "Old man Kong, where did you get these pearls?" When you were at the door just now, you said that the price had not been negotiated, and the man sold it to you so quickly, what about the man? Bring it over and let us see it. ”
She was really amazed by these pearls, and she wished that she could have such a treasure, but the price was too high, and she wanted to ask the pearl seller where he got the pearls, and see if he could help her find some smaller peacock green.
Shopkeeper Kong said with a smile: "It's also a coincidence, the pearl seller, Miss Wei knows." ”
Wei Manyin looked dazed: "I know?" ”
Shopkeeper Kong smiled and nodded: "Miss Wei, do you remember the Miss Lin you met in the small store a few months ago?" You bought a batch of pearls from her. ”
Wei Manyin recalled it at once, and quietly realized: "It's her again?" What about her? Hurry up and get her over. ”
Since it's someone you know, it's even better.
Shopkeeper Kong said with a regretful face: "Miss Lin said that she still had urgent matters to do, and as soon as the transaction was over, she left in a hurry." ”
Wei Manyin complained with regret: "Then why didn't you say it earlier when you came in just now?" ”
Wouldn't she be able to meet each other in advance?
Shopkeeper Kong smiled with a smile on his face: "It's the little old man who was negligent." ”
The third prince asked with great interest, "The pearl you gave to my mother last time was also bought from this Lin girl?" ”
Wei Manyin nodded: "Yes, this Miss Lin is really a capable person, and she actually has such a good pearl in her hand." No, I'll ask He Junyu, he must know where this Miss Lin's family lives. ”
A hint of interest flashed in the eyes of the third prince: "What? Does this girl know He Junyu? ”
Wei Manyin nodded and said, "It's not just that it's just acquaintance, the last time she came to Huaiyang Mansion, Mrs. He also had a meal with her, and she seemed to attach great importance to her." But I just don't know what this Lin girl has to do with their He Mansion. ”
The third prince rubbed his fingers on the fan a few times: "I heard that when Mrs. He made a batch of strawberries during the New Year, she made a lot of silver?" ”
Wei Manyin felt a little excited when she mentioned this: "Yes, cousin, you don't know how popular those strawberries were at that time, twenty taels and one pounds, and you have to order them in advance, you can't buy them one step later, just in the first month, Mrs. He doesn't know how much silver she earns." But the strawberries are really delicious, and they taste so good. I really don't know where Mrs. He got it from, the He family has covered this channel tightly, and they can't find any news. ”
