In the last book, it was mentioned that Jiang Yuanchen accused Jinjue Pavilion of being a black shop

Shen Li was secretly amused, and without waiting for him to finish speaking, he hugged Jiang Yuanchen, raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Chen, don't make noise for a while, let's go upstairs and take a look." ”

The money shopkeeper got the information early, made good tea, served snacks, and waited for the two of them. You know, the young master is the younger brother of the owner, so he has to wait for him, right?

The guy led the two upstairs. The staircase goes straight up, rising step by step, and is unusually wide.

The three of them went up to the second floor, and the guy handed over the hot towel, wiped the hands of the two young masters, closed the door, and bowed out.

The layout of the second floor is quite elegant, no different from the study room of a large family. Four two-person high treasure pavilions are placed with various antiques and jade objects. There is a beast head copper furnace in the corners of each side, and the furniture of Huanghuahuamu of the South China Sea is finely carved, elegant and refined, and makes people feel more comfortable.

The money shopkeeper sat down at the desk and said with a smile: "Two sons, please sit, what do you want to see?" ”

Shen Li sat down generously, picked up the teacup at hand, took a few sips, moistened his throat, and shook the fan lightly twice, before he said slowly: "May I ask the shopkeeper, what do you say about this goods and goods?" ”

The money shopkeeper squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Childe, I'm asking what price you want to see?" ”

Shen Li raised his eyelids lightly and sneered: "The shopkeeper, it's defenseless to look at it." If you don't buy it today, it doesn't mean you won't buy it tomorrow. Jin Jue Pavilion, this is the first time I have come, and I have to see if it is worth it. ”

The shopkeeper smiled even deeper, and said, "Since the son said so, he didn't dare to hide it privately." With that, he turned around and untied the key, took out dozens of brocade boxes from the locked cabinet in the back, put them on the table, and picked up a fine white fox fur from under him, and placed the objects in the brocade box on the white fur one by one.

The faces of the two young masters sitting upright changed a few times, and they couldn't help but glance at each other. Jiang Yuanchen secretly wiped the cold sweat from his palms. The gaze that looked at the jade piece was a little empty.

The money shopkeeper looked at it quietly, handed the things to the two masters one by one to play with, and smiled silently.

Miss confessed, sometimes. Words are cumbersome, let the guest see for himself, and when he sees the right eye, it is not too late to say.

That Shen Li was born in a small family of eunuchs in the capital, and he was not uninformed. Of course, knowing that these white jade, jadeite, and jewelry in front of him are all excellent treasures, the hand holding the fan subconsciously tightened.

Shen Li counted the silver ticket in his arms, and casually chose a Hetian seed white jade double melon. It is shaped as two connected melons and fruits, and two insects are skillfully carved with red jade skin. The shape is lively, the shape is full and round, the texture is fine, white and moist, half the size of a fist.

The money shopkeeper sighed: "Childe is really good eyesight. This white jade double melon. A whole piece of fine Hetian seed jade is finely carved, and the most rare is this skin color and skillful carving. In order to make good use of this skill, the jade master can be described as painstaking. Put it in your hand as a plaything, just the right size. ”

Shen Li picked up another jade basket and said, "This one looks fresh, but I have never seen it." ”

"Childe is really well-informed, this is the unique jade Lianzi of our Jinjue Pavilion."

"The jade master of your store is really smart."

The money shopkeeper smiled: "This is an idea that our owner came up with." ”

Shen Li smiled, "Oh. If you have a chance, I want to meet the owner of your Jinjue Pavilion. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The owner followed the convoy to the south, and if he comes back, he must invite the son to come and sit in the shop." ”

Shen Li listened, sneered, put away the fan snapped, and said, "Shopkeeper." This white jade double melon, I want it, wrap it up. I still have something to do today, so I'll come back another day. ”

The money shopkeeper smiled: "Childe, if the white jade double melon is sold as usual." There is no one who can't get three thousand taels, for the sake of this little boy, I will give you a good price, two thousand four hundred taels, and it can't be cheap anymore. ”

Shen Lixin said that it was dangerous, so I brought two thousand five hundred taels of silver. At that moment, he generously took out the silver from his bosom and handed it to the money shopkeeper.

The money shopkeeper accepted the silver and said with a smile: "Childe is happy, these two fan pendants are not worth any money, give them to the two sons to play, if the prince wants to find some treasures next time, don't forget to go to our Jinjue Pavilion to take a look." ”

The shopkeeper accompanied the two young masters downstairs, Jiang Yuanchen inadvertently saw the dark stones placed on the round stone table in the courtyard, and asked, "Shopkeeper, what are so many stones used for?" ”

The money shopkeeper said: "Childe, these stones are all rough stones, if Childe is interested, don't take a gamble." ”

Jiang Yuanchen dared to play this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said that he didn't have to. The two of them got into the carriage and drove away.

The money shopkeeper stood up, sent the two masters away with a smile, turned around and muttered a few words in the man's ear.

The fellow nodded, and ran away with a puff of smoke.

……

On the carriage, Jiang Yuanchen took out the fan pendant given by the shopkeeper, looked left and right, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Shen, what do you think of this jade pendant?" ”

Shen Li said lazily: "It's okay, the carving is a little worse, but the jade quality is good." ”

Jiang Yuanchen sighed: "Brother Shen, I can be regarded as an eye-opener today, just a jade jade melon, more than two thousand taels, and only half a fist in size, those things taken out by the shopkeeper are probably not cheap, and my eyes are straight." Brother Shen, why did the shopkeeper say that for my sake, could it be that they knew that I was from the Jiang Mansion? ”

Shen Li smiled lightly and said, "Xu is the truth." Brother Chen, do the east for your brother, let's go to Deyue Tower for a drink, and Brother Xie Chen will accompany Brother Wei on this trip. ”

Jiang Yuanchen responded with a mouthful.

The two ordered a few small dishes, drank a few glasses of wine, and chatted in Deyue Building, and saw that the hour was not early, so they went home separately.

……

Shen Li returned home, didn't change his clothes, and went straight to the old man's study.

Old lady Shen was lying in front of the case, writing hard.

The old man has a high attainment in calligraphy, and he has been guided by famous masters since he was a child, and he often practices a few strokes when he is interested. Seeing Shen Li enter the house, he hurriedly said, "Ali, come over and see how the word is today?" ”

Shen Li walked to the desk, took a closer look, and casually boasted: "Flowing clouds, vigorous and powerful, good words!" Good word! When I went back, I asked people to frame it and hang it in the study, so that I could read it day and night. ”

Old lady Shen was very comfortable being flattered, picked up the towel on the side, wiped his hands and said, "Why didn't you even change your clothes and go to the study?" ”

Shen Li sat down, picked up the tea that the old man had drunk, drank it all, took a deep breath, and sighed: "Old man, you are right, that fourth young lady, it is not simple. ”

When Old Lady Shen heard this, she immediately became interested, and hurriedly said, "Tell me quickly, how is the investigation?" ”

"Old man, do you know the Jinjue Pavilion in Taohuawu Lane, Suzhou Mansion?"

Old Man Shen nodded, "It seems that I heard your second uncle say that it is a jade shop, and it is said that it is the first one in Suzhou Mansion, and the jade carvers are particularly outstanding." ”

"Old man, the owner of Jinjue Pavilion is the fourth lady. And Jinjue Pavilion is not only a Suzhou Mansion, Jinling Mansion, Yangzhou City has a branch. ”

Old lady Shen straightened up in shock: "Are you telling the truth?" ”

"Absolutely."

The old man hurriedly said: "Come quickly." ”

I saw that Shen Li took out a stack of letter paper from his sleeve and gently sent it to the old man: "Look at it yourself." ”

Old lady Shen took the paper, skimmed through it roughly, and said after a while: "I'll just say it, that girl is not simple." It's ten of you, and none of them are that girl's opponent. Look at it, look at it, a Jinjue Pavilion earns more money in a year than more than a dozen shops in our house, where is this what Miss Boudoir does? ”

Shen Li sat on the chair with a deep look in his eyes: "Grandfather, you said that she has suffered so much, and her body is not good, and she is struggling to move in the Jiang Mansion, she does not go out of the gate, and she does not step out of the second door, how can she have the ability to hide from everyone to do this?" If it weren't for the help of friends in the rivers and lakes this time, I really wouldn't be sure that I would be able to find out my grandson. ”

The old lady snorted coldly: "You think you are hiding deeply." That room of books, but people read them for nothing? Jiang Zhen is not good at being an official, but he teaches a good granddaughter. What are you going to do now? ”

Shen Li's handsome eyes were closed, and he muttered: "Grandfather, I just feel sorry for her young age, she has suffered so much, and she has a Xu family on her back. ”

"Okay, those hardships have long passed, and people are getting better now. You see, when you buy a house in the capital and buy a land, as soon as you make a move, you will be a big deal...... Wrong! ”

Old lady Shen suddenly gasped and said, "Ah Li, this girl must have guessed that her father would return to Beijing to be an official, and looking at this situation, Jin Jue Pavilion will open to the capital sooner or later." It's really guts, it's calculating. ”

Shen Li smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that she just took over Jinjue Pavilion and had this idea, otherwise, why would she buy so many maids and raise them?" What a daring. ”

The old lady stroked his beard and pondered: "I know a little about the Xu family and the Jiang family. The case of the Xu family back then was deeply involved and had an inextricable relationship with the palace. The Xu family is just a pond fish. On the surface, the Hou Mansion seems to be taking advantage of the fire to rob, but in fact, it is not, and every move is useful. Now that the whereabouts of the mother and son of the Xu family are unknown, the girl plans to drive Jinjue Pavilion to the capital, which looks mysterious. ”

"Grandfather?"

The old lady glanced at her grandson coldly, frowned, and took a long breath: "Now the body of the one above has been declared a doctor for three days and two heads, and the position of the prince has been suspended so far, and the queen mother said that she is not sick, so she has to figure out the deep meaning here!" Look at it, in a few years, there will be a big move in the capital.

Shen Li said impatiently: "Old man, you are far away, and now it is the matter of the fourth young lady." ”

The old man stroked his gray beard and said, "What's the matter with her?" She has hers, you have yours, the two have nothing to do with each other. It's not that grandfather is difficult for you, this girl is really smart, if you marry back and put it in the house, Ali ......"

Shen Li only felt irritable in his heart, so he suddenly got up and took out a brocade box from his arms, stuffed it into his arms, and said coldly: "Jin Juege bought it, two thousand four hundred taels of silver, the things are for you, and you also pay for the silver, I will go back to the room." ”

The old man hurriedly opened the box and took a look, then opened his mouth and scolded: "What kind of broken stone, it is worth two thousand taels of silver, you come back for me...... Stinky Boy...... Why do I pay for it...... You unfilial son......"

At night, Shen Li put his hands behind his head and lay flat on the bed. Jiang Xinyao's slightly alienated smile was about to come out, as if in front of her.

Shen Li's heart pounded. (..)
