Chapter 30 Crossing the Bridge and Drawing the Board
"That Du Gongzi is very talented, there is no need to waste effort on me. If I really marry into Prince Jing's Mansion in the future, I have a deep friendship with him now, and it will only embarrass him in the future. Jiao Yuzhen casually inserted the golden hairpin in his hand into his bun, and then looked at Xin Pengyi beside him with a smile, "Why is Xin Gongzi standing outside so late, are you waiting for me?" ”
"Girl Mingjian, I am indeed waiting for the girl, and I am waiting for the good things in the girl's hands. The things rewarded by the county lord of Wenyu are all good things, and the girl will not keep them anyway, rather than sending them to the pawnshop cheaply, it is better to send them to the next hand. And I think it's time for the girl to come and get the amber. Xin Pengyi took out a folding fan out of nowhere, and then opened it with a "poof" and shook it happily, not caring at all that it was a cold winter night, "The girl is really powerful, the things in that amber are much more valuable than amber." ”
"Then let's go over and have a look." Jiao Yuzhen has always been very sensitive to money, so he hurriedly grabbed Xin Pengyi's hand and went to the back door of the treasure.
The slightly cool hand was held by the little hand that had been warm, Xin Pengyi's heart suddenly "chuckled", he hadn't felt like this for a long time, the last time he ...... It's a long time ago, an innocent boy, and the love is just beginning...... It's ridiculous and lamentable.
"Why are you walking so slowly?" Finding that the person behind him still walked very slowly no matter how he pulled it, Jiao Yuzhen hurriedly turned his head to look at Xin Pengyi behind him.
Xin Pengyi stepped forward and hugged Jiao Yuzhen's small waist: "Walking is indeed slow." After finishing speaking, he jumped up with Jiao Yuzhen in his arms, flew over the wall, landed steadily in front of the door of his room, and then pushed the door in front of him first, "Come, over here." ”
The furnishings in the room are very simple, it doesn't look like someone lives in it, but by the dim candlelight, I glanced at it, and found that the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls of the room are extremely exquisite, and at a glance I know that it is from the hand of a famous artist, but this is different from the world she used to, otherwise with her attainments, as long as you can recognize which famous person is from it, and then you can estimate the bid, as for the other furnishings...... Most of them are categories that can be seen in the storefront, and they should not be the best, but they should be very good ceramic vases.
Jiao Yuzhen retracted her gaze and sighed lightly in her heart, reborn in this world, she could only look at jade for a long time, because she didn't know much about the history and various crafts of this world, except for looking at the rough stones and jewelry, her eyes had no other use, but fortunately, the so-called "prosperous jewelry, gold in troubled times", she knew gold and jade, so no matter what, she would definitely be able to live happily.
Xin Pengyi fumbled around a cabinet and opened the door of the secret room, then walked in by himself, and walked out with a box in a blink of an eye, he put the box on the table, and after the box was opened, it was the amber rough stones that Jiao Yuzhen gave him before: "Your batch of rough stones is very special, it was obviously deliberately polished, but it was not polished out at the last step...... How did you get this batch of rough stones? ”
"I said, it's my secret." Jiao Yuzhen won't say where she got this batch of rough stones, because no one will believe it if she says it, "Except for the immortal flower, the others ...... How much is it worth? ”
"Although amber is rare, it is not the most expensive gemstone, although the girl this rough stone is perfect, there are few impurities, the size is also very suitable, it can be made into a good amber necklace or ornament, and the price of the finished product is not low, but the price of the rough stone is not good." Xin Pengyi didn't beat around the bush, but said truthfully, "I think if you want to sell these rough stones, it is better to cooperate with me, after I build these, sell them and then give you a share, the price will be higher than if you sell the rough stones directly, and I will not have any risk." ”
"Xin Gongzi is worthy of being a businessman, and he is really careful in his calculations." Jiao Yuzhen smiled, and then covered the box with his own hands, "But since it's business, I'll make it up with Gongzi Xin." Except for the one with the immortal flower, the other sons of this amber can only be used as jewelry, but I don't want your share, because I give you gold directly. After Jiao Yuzhen finished speaking, he took out ten taels of gold from his arms, "This is given to me by the county lord of Wenyu, so let's turn it into jewelry." If there's any leftover, make me some more jewelry. As for the manual fee and sales commission, I will give you 20%, so please ask the son to put more effort, if it is an inferior product, I am afraid that the son will not get any benefits, and waste so many things on me. ”
Taking a deep look at Jiao Yuzhen, Xin Pengyi smiled bitterly and shook her head: "If it weren't for the fact that the girl was the third lady in Mrs. Jiao's mansion, I really thought that I was talking about business with an old Jianghu." ”
"Xin Gongzi no longer claims to be below, if it weren't for you still shaking the folding fan in the winter, I would have thought you were a fake." Casting Xin Pengyi a light look, Jiao Yuzhen turned around and sat on the chair next to him, "But it's really troublesome to always use such an unfamiliar name." You can still call me Qingbao. My name is Peng Yi. ”
******
The Xin family is a century-old wealthy family, but Xin Pengyi, the head of the family, doesn't like those old-fashioned etiquette, so when he first met Jiao Yuzhen, he was attracted by her uninhibitedness, which is why he spent so much effort on Jiao Yuzhen's body, otherwise he was just a businessman, no matter how valuable the longevity flower was, someone had to buy it, so the longevity flower could not attract him.
"Qingbao...... Why don't you let me call you Yu Zhen? Xin Pengyi held the box in her arms, and then sat next to Jiao Yuzhen.
Jiao Yuzhen only smiled and said nothing.
Seeing that Jiao Yuzhen undoubtedly had this topic, Xin Pengyi didn't delve into it, he took out a small porcelain box from his arms, and then handed it to Jiao Yuzhen: "This is jade cream." Touching the wound not only stops bleeding and removes scars, but also smooths the skin. In fact, when I saw you for the first time in the city a few days ago, I found that you had a big wound on your forehead, although you are now covering it with fat powder, but this is not good for the wound, and it may leave a scar in the long run, so I prepared this for you. Actually, the last time I saw you, I wanted to give it to you, but you always came and went in a hurry, so ......"
"Thank you for your stuff." Jiao Yuzhen is also a woman, it is impossible for a woman not to care about her appearance, but she has been busy to death in the past few days after being reborn, and there are too many things to take into account, she is busy laying a good foundation in this world to live, so she forgets the wound on her forehead, and every time she goes out, she just covers it with fat powder, and if she falls into a scar, there is no way...... But now, before she could take care of the wound, someone brought medicine.
"It's not too early, I'd better send you back."
Seeing that Xin Pengyi was about to get up from the chair, Jiao Yuzhen hurriedly spoke to stop: "No need, it's actually not very far." I'll go back on my own. I'll come over when it's time for the auction, so don't worry. ”
"Okay then, I won't send you."
Jiao Yuzhen took out the silver tickets and the jewelry rewarded by the county lord of Wenyu from his arms, and also gave them to Xin Pengyi: "One hundred and fifty taels of gold, I will keep ten taels for myself, and then give you ten taels, and one hundred taels are silver tickets, thirty taels are cash, and you can put them away for me." Sell your jewelry if you have the chance, and as for gold...... I'd better let you put it away for me first. ”
"Qingbao trusts me so much, I will naturally do my best."
Xin Pengyi accepted the things handed over by Jiao Yuzhen, and sent her out of the backyard of Jubao, but when she was about to close the door, she found a black shadow flashing in the alley.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Xin Pengyi wanted to go out to investigate, but remembered that those things were not put away just now, and the gold and jewelry were forgotten, but the immortal flower was very important, so he still closed the door and went back to the room.
Jiao Yuzhen quickly returned to Jiao Taifu's mansion from Jubao, after all, she walked this road many times, but this time because of Jiao Youhan's promise, she did not go back from the dog cave, but went directly to the back door, but the world will never be as simple as she imagined.
"Madame said, if the third lady doesn't come back to the house until after dinner, just sleep in the alley, and you can go in early tomorrow morning after the lord goes to court." The guard guarding the door stopped Jiao Yuzhen and said with a glance.
"Didn't the second lady tell you? I'll be back a little later today and let you leave me the door. Jiao Yuzhen frowned, she was tired for a day today, and now she just wanted to go back to wash and sleep quickly, but she was not interested in entangling with these people.
"I'm sorry, Miss Three. The second lady didn't explain anything, so please ask the third lady to go aside. The guard didn't bother to talk to Jiao Yuzhen, he pointed to the side and then turned his face to look at the sky.
I didn't expect Jiao Youhan to be cheap and obedient, and actually sent a pigeon behind her back!
"Then please ask the eldest lady to come out, I have something to talk to the eldest sister." Jiao Yuzhen bit the word "eldest sister" very hard, Jiao Ruzhi has always been arrogant, and the people in the house are very afraid of Jiao Ruzhi, so she doesn't believe Jiao Ruzhi and doesn't let her in.
The guards still looked at the sky with their faces away, and they didn't seem to hear Jiao Yuzhen's words.
Jiao Yuzhen suddenly got angry, as the saying goes, "people's hearts are not ancient", but now it seems that the hearts of ancient people are even more "not ancient", there is no integrity at all, that Jiao Youhan must have explained to these guards that she would never let her in, so she now regrets that she actually gave the opportunity to enter the palace today to Jiao Youhan's white-eyed wolf who pretended to be gentle!
"Third Miss."
Suddenly hearing someone calling her, Jiao Yuzhen turned her head and saw Gongsun Yi'an at the corner of the wall waving to her, so she glared at the guard and walked over quickly.
"Sir, why are you here?"
Gongsun Yi'an shook his head lightly, and led Jiao Yuzhen into the small alley next to the wall before he spoke: "I heard Jin'er say that Third Miss, you all entered and exited from the wall of your courtyard, so I've been waiting here for some time......"
"Sir is looking for me?"
Faced with Jiao Yuzhen's question, Gongsun Yi'an was not in a hurry to answer, but said slowly: "When the second miss came back today, her face was very bad, and when Mrs. asked, she knew that the third miss won the first place at the year-end poetry banquet of the county lord of Wenyu today, and also gave the opportunity to enter the palace to face the saint to the second miss, and the second miss cried and said that this is the third miss You deliberately humiliated her, so the lady came to ask why the third miss is so proficient in poetry, and yesterday said that the third miss you don't know anything. Naturally, Zai Xia will not tell the truth, but explains that since the third lady intends to conceal it, she will not let Zai Xia know, but it is a pity that the word given by the third miss was searched by the lady, so he drove Zai Xia out of the house, and ordered that the third miss would never be allowed to enter the mansion again, saying that the third miss would be allowed to live in the Zhuangzi of the mansion. Jin Er has also been sent over...... However, I didn't mean to blame Miss Three. Waiting for Miss Three here, I hope that Miss Three can write another word for Below, because I am incompetent and I have not protected that word......"
