Chapter 55: Ten Times
"Little master, the slave maid has heard about it, and you can still ask someone to go out of the palace to buy it, but it's just ......" Incense frowned in embarrassment, looking a little indignant and unwilling.
"What's wrong?" Yun Xiaoxiao didn't raise his head and glanced at her, then continued to look down at the snow-white fox fur spread in front of her, holding a ruler in his hand to measure up and down, left and right.
In addition, Yun Xiaoxiao had asked Ai Ye to find uncut paper, and while noting down the size of the measurement, she drew and wrote, and drew the pattern of the placket on the white paper in a few clicks, but in order to facilitate wear, she drew the pattern of the placket.
Then she pulled another piece of white paper, and drew the back style of the leather jacket on it, and after the painting, she took the time to look up and look at the incense that her mouth opened and closed and was speechless.
Yun Xiaoxiao slowly sat up straight, sitting upright at the head of the pit with soft cushions, and the white paper beside her had already moved to the middle, "Say, what's the matter?" ”
The clever mugwort leaf brought a red lacquer tray at the right time, and a lemon honey tea and a few small and delicate snacks were placed on the tray.
Xiangxiang hurriedly brought a square mahogany pit and put it next to Yun Xiaoxiao, Ai Ye took out the tea cup and drank snacks in the tray and put it on the square mahogany pit table, and said with a smile: "Little master, this is lemon honey tea, it is best to moisten your throat and prevent dryness." ”
"Yo, when did Ai Ye become so powerful? I also know how to moisten my throat and let it dry. Yun Xiaoxiao smiled and teased Ai Ye, a pair of crooked smiling eyes were shiny and shiny, but the afterglow at the end of her eyes glanced at Jianxiang, waiting for her answer.
After taking a sip of lemon honey tea, Yun Xiaoxiao looked up and looked at her intently and looked at her incense, meaning to say, just say anything, don't swallow it.
"Little master, slave maid, slave maid inquired, although they are still out of the palace to purchase, but the price is ...... The price ......," she said through gritted teeth, but when it came to the price, she became slumped again.
"How much has the price gone up?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked clearly.
"Ten times." She had a bitter and hateful expression, as if someone had killed her parents and robbed her husband.
Yun Xiaoxiao was originally resting on the pit with his elbow on the pit, and when he heard that his elbow slipped and almost fell to the pit, he finally stabilized his body and said loudly: "He won't rob it!" ”
Ten times over! It's ten times as much, and you can buy a good fur for this price.
Because they helped to go out of the palace to buy before, if they were to buy expensive things, the general price was five taels to ten taels, and if it was with rouge, gouache, needlework, etc., it meant to receive a little, or one or two taels.
Even if it is valuable, it will not exceed twenty taels, but now it is ten times, even according to the lowest calculation, it will cost fifty taels, and this price can buy a piece of fine fur.
Even if they have more concubines per month, at least eleven taels a month, they need money for entertainment, rewards, and inquiries, and these monthly silver is not enough at all, so no matter whether they are favored or not, they will let their families bring silver into the palace.
Although she was favored by Nangong Qing, but the rewards were all items, pearls, hairpins, etc., and there were really not many silver taels, especially these things were registered, she didn't dare to sell them secretly if she wanted to, and she couldn't do it when she went home to ask for silver taels, so there were really not many silver taels that could be used in her hands.
