Chapter Twenty-Six: Treasure Appreciation
The people around were puzzled, thinking that Shu Yao was modest, and the Xiuniang in the south was good, Shu Yao had been living in Huizhou, Guangdong, Guangdong was the south, and the girls in the capital were not generally confused about the geographical orientation.
The Zhiyuan family has just returned to the Duke's Palace, and the Guerjia family has a lot of things that have not been arranged, and they plan to go back after asking the old lady for peace, seeing the old lady's intention and refusing to let go, although the Guarjia family is anxious, they can't see it on their faces, and they drink tea leisurely, as if everything is under control.
The second-class girl next to the old lady, Cuiying, came into the house with a curtain, her eyebrows were clear and her eyes were beautiful, Shui Ling'er was clean, and she said with a smile: "Back to the old lady, Mrs. Qian is here." ”
"Oh? Let you in, and I'll see if she's got any good stuff to show off with me. ”
The old lady and the person called Mrs. Qian are very familiar, and Mrs. Liu Jia, who has been very silent, explained to Guerjia: "Mrs. Qian's man has a storefront in Liulichang, Mrs. Qian's husband's family is surnamed Li, she is used in men, and the storefront is supported by her. ”
Guerjia's gesture of understanding and smiled at Liu Jia's, Guarjia's is not interested in Mrs. Qian, and Liu Jiashi, the wife of the fourth room, took the initiative to introduce, it seems that their husband and wife will not necessarily follow Zhicheng to the black.
"Mrs. Qian has received the favor of Zhiqing, although the silver money is more important, but she is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, and if there are rare good antiques, they will be sent to the Duke's Mansion first, even if which prince values it, Zhiqing has to pick it first."
The corners of the second aunt's eyes were full of pride, Shu Yao twisted her delicate eyebrows, and asked suspiciously: "Isn't she afraid of offending the prince?" I don't think it's like being nice to my cousin. ”
The old lady's face drooped, very gloomy, because she had a good impression of Shu Yao somehow, the old lady suppressed his anger, "Six girls, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, Mrs. Qian is a grateful retribution." “
"Isn't the prince the most powerful person besides the emperor? They fell in love with antiques, and Mrs. Qian didn't sell them but took the initiative to send them to her cousin, isn't this a disaster for your cousin, doesn't it mean that your cousin is more powerful than the prince? ”
Shu Yao was even more puzzled, they smart people didn't expect it? Shu Yao has always rarely cared about mundane things, but curious things will tell the truth, Guerjia squinted at Shu Yao, and stopped: "Shut up." ”
"Oh." Shu Yao was honest, and Guerjia said: "Eniang, she has a little truth in what she said, it is not a good thing for the niece to suppress the prince, the house is just a duke's mansion, and it is several levels away from the close relatives and nobles, I think this Qian mother-in-law has no good intentions, the niece is not deep, and the elders should be persuaded to be good." ”
Mrs. Qian happened to enter the door, the pine-colored cheongsam, full of pearls, at a glance it was the wife of a rich and noble family, with a smile on her face, full of affinity, Mrs. Qian said: "This is the second wife?" ”
Although the Guerjia clan did not look down on businessmen, they did not have a good impression of Mrs. Qian, so they asked coldly: "A businesswoman, she is not small. ”
Even if he doesn't have the title of Duke's Palace, Guarjia is the wife of a third-grade master, and he has a fate, and as soon as Mrs. Qian enters the door, she dares to do this, and Guarjia is very displeased.
Mrs. Qian, who was accustomed to the ladies of the inner house, was secretly frightened that this second wife was full of momentum, and the clan Fujin did not necessarily have the grandeur of the Guerjia clan, so Mrs. Qian put away her contempt. didn't dare to shout wronged, and replied respectfully: "The folk woman is a businessman, and it can't be said that justice is over profit, but what is particular is a letter, Miss Li has a great favor to the folk woman, if she is not a girl, the folk woman's family will be ruined, and she will not dare to cause trouble for the girl." ”
The old lady sighed, "You are an understanding person, okay, okay, Zhiyuan's daughter-in-law just returned to Beijing, I don't know your temperament, what treasure do you have today?" ”
Mrs. Qian was full of smiles, and said attentively: "Recently, I got a batch of Tang Dynasty antiques, and I knew that Miss Li liked it, so I sent it to the girl to appreciate it first." ”
Guerjia's can peek at Mrs. Qian's is not simple, businessmen are ruthless, **** is unrighteous, this is not said in vain, the world is bustling for profit, Mrs. Qian must have a plan, but what does Li Zhiqing value her? In the end, it is a niece, Guerjia's family is too lazy to worry about Li Zhiqing, and is very satisfied with her daughter Shu Yao's performance today.
Li Zhiqing is not a foolish person, just a small profit can make Mrs. Qian, who has always been heavy on wealth and keeping money, bow her head to her ears, what Mrs. Qian wants, Li Zhiqing is very clear, "Tang Dynasty antiques, very good two days ago, the Empress Dowager talked about Tang Sancai." ”
Mrs. Qian grinned and said earnestly: "Girl, take a look? ”
Shu Yao suddenly realized that she wanted to use Li Zhiqing to catch up with the Empress Dowager, and by the way, raise her value, scarce things are expensive, who can calculate who can count whom? Hearing that it was an antique from the Tang Dynasty, Shu Yao looked at the Guerjia clan, no one had a say in this regard, Shu Yao knew that the Guerjia clan had made a lot of money before, and she was also a lady with accurate vision and good at appreciating treasures, but after guessing that the Guerjia clan was a noble daughter of the Tang Dynasty, Shu Yao was not surprised.
"Sixth sister, you just went back to the capital and didn't have many furnishings, you might as well pick two first, and I'll be a gift for you."
After the antiques were put on the table, Li Zhiqing asked Shu Yao to choose first, "My cousin is so generous, I have tasted it." The lively Shu Jing winked playfully, "You can't favor one over the other, my cousin can give me one." ”
Shu Jing's playful appearance amused the old lady, "Monkey, monkey, how much silver do you have to be Zhiqing?" The six girls returned to Beijing from Huizhou and don't know the details, don't you know? ”
Holding the old lady's arm, Shu Jing looked coquettish, looking cute and cute, the old lady was rare and generous: "You spare Zhiqing, I'll send you away." ”
"Thank you, Mam." Shu Jing bent her eyes proudly, proving to everyone that she was the most favored granddaughter besides Li Zhiqing.
Shu Yao turned a deaf ear, the old lady's love is not important in Shu Yao's eyes to sleep for a leisurely life, Shu Yao is not interested in antiques, and she doesn't know how to appreciate them, but among the Tang Dynasty antiques on the table, Shu Yao actually found a tripod, looking very similar to Eniang Guerjia's words, Shu Yao followed Li Zhiqing's wishes, took the lead in picking up the Yu Yu Ding, and repeatedly fiddled with it in her hand, and a scratch appeared at the point of the Yu Ding, is it a fake?
Li Zhiqing said on the side: "Mrs. Qian doesn't dare to take a fake to the Duke's Mansion, sixth sister, I'm afraid this jade tripod is not well preserved, there are scratches, it is not worth much, you are looking at something else." ”
Mrs. Qian was stunned, and saw that Shu Yao valued the jade tripod and despised it, even if there was a shrewd Eniang, she couldn't get on the stage, and explained: "I was in a hurry to send it to the girl, Benmei didn't look carefully, and the box was wrong." ”
"I value it, you say a price, I can afford this silver." Shu wants to hold the jade tripod, that's right, it's what Eniang said, Guerjia's pursed his lips and smiled, the table was full of Tang antiques, the jade tripod was the most valuable, fake, who said that Mrs. Qian didn't dare to fool Li Zhiqing with fakes?
