Palace Banquet(1)
After a lot of words and tongues, it was almost dark, Ling Xiaoyao seemed to suddenly think of something, and ordered Xiangyue, who was almost exhausted after finishing things: "Take two cloaks and go to the city with me." ”
Ten minutes later, the two appeared on the busiest street in the capital of Ye Guoguo. Although it was evening, the streets were full of people, all kinds of cries and hawkers, and the stately decorated restaurants and inns were overcrowded. Ling Xiaoyao looked up and saw the words "Treasure Pavilion" written in a beautiful font on a storefront, so he walked in.
The Jumbo Pavilion is very large, with three floors, and it is not as noisy as other shops, and the warm and soft light is sprinkled on the display cabinets, which illuminates the delicate hairpins, belts, and jade pendants inside. The ladies and ladies lingered in front of the various spar display cases in pairs and threes, buying their favorite jewelry.
"Young master, what are you doing in the jewelry store from this daughter's house? Could it be that our firm wants to open up the jewelry market in the East Continent? Xiang Yue pulled down the big hat of the cloak, revealing a delicate and handsome face and sniffed, stimulated by the faint fragrance of fat powder in the store.
Ling Xiaoyao ignored Xiang Yue, and directly turned his head to ask the elegantly dressed salesperson on the side: "Is there a sky full of stars?" ”
"Yes, please come here."
The starry sky is a special product of a small city located at the junction of the South Continent and the East Continent on the border of Ye Kingdom, an annual plant, a flower is very small, each flower has five petals, but the petals are dotted with silver dots, and at night it flashes with a bright silver light, like a dream, very beautiful. As soon as the starry sky blooms, it looks like a carpet of stars leading to the sky. Once the flowers are plucked, the white color slowly becomes translucent and never decays, while the silver that is densely layered on them is even more brilliant. However, due to the limited growth area of Mantianxing, it only produces about 100 flowers a year, and its price is not acceptable to ordinary people. The bigger the flowers, the more valuable they are, and the annual tribute to the royal family is only two or three, the largest of which is about one centimeter in diameter, and the rest of the flowers are all sold to the trading houses for export. When she looked at the account book before, she mentioned a sentence in it, Donglu, Treasure Pavilion, imported, starry hairpins, five branches, one hundred and fifty amethyst stones. At that time, she was also surprised by the high price for Donglu.
"Is that all?" Ling Xiaoyao frowned as he looked at the flower in his hand that was less than the size of a little thumb cover.
“…… Childe, what do you mean ......"
"We are the people of Biluo City in the Middle Continent, let's take out the biggest starry sky, the price is not a problem." As Xiang Yue, who grew up with Ling Xiaoyao since he was a child, his curiosity prompted him to snatch the words of his young master.
"This ...... It's up to our boss to decide......"
"What's wrong?" A noble and gentle female voice came from the stairs.
The salesman turned his head to look, lowered his head and took two steps back: "Boss, these two want to buy ...... Those starry skies, price is not an issue. ”
"Oh?" The owner of the Treasure Pavilion turned out to be a beautiful and noble girl, with an ivory-white flowing cloud dress, embroidered with a large area of brilliant sky blue orchids at the bottom, a light blue gemstone belt tied around her waist, and a hollow green luan jade pendant falling below, and a delicate royal blue moonlight orchid was depicted between her eyebrows. Her gaze stopped on Xiang Yue for two seconds, "Then, two distinguished guests, please come here." ”
"This is the treasure of the town store, the best full of stars." The girl led Ling Xiaoyao to a remote room on the third floor, and pulled out a slender wooden box from the large and small boxes and opened it a little, and the entire room was shrouded in a faint fluorescence that escaped for a moment.
