Ji Qingling was a little strange, it could be seen that the other party came politely, so she also politely replied, "What is this?" ”

He motioned for Qiu Yue to come forward and pick it up.

The box was opened, and sure enough, it was the sapphire bracelet at the bottom of the pressure box in the Fang Cai Pavilion.

She couldn't help frowning, but she knew that the owner was acting on orders, and she didn't embarrass him, but said: "Fang Cai has already said no, you take it back, I will talk to Zhang Bi." ”

The surnamed Li's face was a little embarrassed, and said: "Gong Cui has already explained, and he must send it to Ji Niangzi in person, and now that the money has been given, if we can't send it out in the pavilion, it's not good." ”

And said: "It's really a rare good thing, I brought it back from the Western Regions that day, seven or eight caravans in my family, and dozens of caravans in Yanzhou, only my family got such a string, where can others find it, someone once opened a million dollars for me, and I didn't sell it - ordinary people can't afford it, but it's a very good little lady, you take it home, wear it and play, how majestic!" ”

A string of sapphire chains is worth millions of dollars, which is converted into thousands of dollars, which is really extravagant.

He said while observing Ji Qingling's expression.

Ji Qingling has always been simple in dressing, and she has not inserted any valuable hairpins, and even her wrists are clean, unlike the aristocratic women in Beijing at this time, nor like any dignitaries, but the fabric on her body is high-quality, and her appearance and temperament are also extraordinary.

The surnamed Li was extremely suspicious in his heart.

Zhang Bi is the son of Zhang Zhijia, a member of the pavilion, and he is also the cousin of the Empress Dowager Zhang who is afraid of falling in the palm of her hand.

Just upstairs in the attic, Zhang Bi's attitude towards Ji Qingling can be called a horse's head and obedient.

Can send this bear like this, what is the identity of this woman?

If it was a noble girl in Beijing, how could he not know about it after he had been trading for decades?

First of all, no matter if I have never heard of a noble girl surnamed Ji who is of this age, and then again, if she is really related to the royal family, Cui Gong's attitude towards her will not be like this.

But if it's not a noble girl from any family, what should she be?

While pondering in his heart, he looked at Ji Qingling, and saw that she listened to his words, not like he was moved, and said secretly Sure enough, he said again: "Whether it is majestic or not, whether it is rare or not, is still secondary, the most important thing is that Zhang Xiaogongzi is dedicated to giving it to the little lady, it is the child's true temperament, why bother to disappoint him, it is better to accept it - otherwise it will disappoint the little boy's kindness!" ”

This surnamed Li spoke very infectiously, no matter the expression or tone, he was very kind, helping to send something, persuading him to be affectionate and reasonable, not like a businessman, but like a smiling and caring elder.

However, his words were used to persuade the rest of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old ladies to be able to pass, but in front of Ji Qingling, who had ideas, it was useless.

She shook her head and said, "I'll go with him and say that I'm tired, and I'll take it back." ”

As he spoke, he gestured to get into the carriage.

The one surnamed Li looked even more suspicious.

If it is a small family, when you hear the value of the bracelet, you must be sincerely afraid, and you will refuse again and again, saying something like "too valuable", "deserved", "can't be accepted" and so on.

If you are an aristocrat, you can take Zhang Bi'er's sincerity, because you don't put this little money in your eyes, you will accept it nine times out of ten.

Like the one in front of me, the soft and hard ones don't eat, it's just inexplicable.

The surname Li came to send this string of things on his own initiative, but not for this result.

He immediately said, "Ji Niangzi, please stay." ”

Saying that, he took two steps forward and said: "Previously, Cui Gong also asked me to prepare ink in this shop, and asked me to send it to the lady's house, because it was late, and I haven't taken it out yet, why don't I leave the lady at home, and then send it over?" ”

It's just a few pieces of ink, or Ji Qingling himself mentioned it, at this time, it can't be said if he refuses, and if he has the heart to inquire, as long as he goes home with the carriage, he will naturally know where he lives, and it is not interesting to hide it, but it seems hypocritical.

Ji Qingling asked Qiu Yue to leave the address of Jinliangqiao Street and went home.

When he saw the carriage go far, the smiling look on his face surnamed Li was retracted, and he frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

The steward in the cabinet followed behind, and when he saw that he did not speak, he asked carefully, "Boss, what about Shemo?" ”

The surnamed Li raised his eyelids and said nonchalantly: "Go to the warehouse and pick a few pieces that don't bother to be eye-catching, and send them to my house in a while." ”

The steward hurriedly responded and retreated on his own with people.

The surnamed Li stood for a while, and waited for someone to lead the horse over, so he turned over and got on the horse and went to Junyi Bridge.

When he got to the place, he threw the reins, first recruited the housekeeper, and gave Ji Qingling's residence in the house that he had just gotten, and instructed: "Go and inquire about the origin of this family, how it is related to the little son of the Zhang She family, and how the two families are going now." ”

asked again: "The incident between Hui Niang and the Sun family last time, now there is news?" ”

The steward hurriedly said: "Then Master Sun only said to let Hui Niangzi wait for the time being, it won't take many days, the house is being arranged, and there will be a few tables of banquets when pouring." ”

Hearing this, he nodded, and asked a few more things, and only a quarter of an hour later, a small servant came outside, and came in and said, "Master, there is a box of ink in the Treasure Pavilion." ”

The surnamed Li said "um" and said, "Send it to Pingniang's house." ”

After saying that, he explained a few words to the steward before going to the backyard.

At this time, Li Pingniang was flipping through the ink in the box, looked up and saw someone coming in, hurriedly called "Dad", and stood up again to salute.

It turns out that the owner surnamed Li in this treasure pavilion is Li Chengwei of Junyi Bridge Fang.

When he saw Li Pingniang, he didn't say anything about it, but said: "Early tomorrow morning, you will take this box of ink to Jinliangqiao Street." ”

gave Ji Qingling's address again, and then told him about today's events, and then said: "You report to your home, find a way to meet and talk to the woman surnamed Ji, it is best to climb up and make friends, walk around in the future, see how she and the Zhang family know each other, and talk to me when you come back." ”

Li Pingniang knew that it was important, so she hurriedly responded.

Li Chengwei replied: "If that woman is useful, you will think of a match, if it is useless, you will find out, and don't waste your efforts in that place." ”

Li Pingniang smiled: "Dad also underestimates me too much, where am I so stupid, I have my own way to distinguish whether it is useless or not." ”

As he spoke, he closed the box and put it away.

The father and daughter talked for a long time, and Li Chengwei went out.

Li Pingniang went to bed early and waited to go to Jinliangqiao Street to find Ji Qingling the next day.
