After Ji Wushuang made such a fuss, Xu Lihua finally knew Ji Shaotian's situation for so many years.

On the carriage, she asked Ji Shaotian with a serious face: "Shaotian, what do you want to do about the Boyi Marquis Mansion's greed for your mother's dowry?" ”

Hearing this, Ji Shaotian glanced at Xu Lihua gratefully.

The fact that she can say that proves that she trusts her.

"I don't know if the general's mansion kept a copy of the dowry list when my mother got married?" She asked.

Xu Lihua is the eldest sister-in-law, when Xu Lian got married, she was already married to Wang Su, so she naturally knew about the dowry list.

"Yes. After your grandmother passed away, I kept it. ”

"I'll give you a copy when I get home."

Ji Shaotian glanced at Xu Lihua gratefully: "Thank you, aunt." ”

"This is what my aunt should do, you don't have to be polite. But I couldn't pick out the jewelry you like when I took you to Boya Pavilion today, so why don't you take your aunt to another place to have a look? Xu Lihua said this, and blinked mysteriously.

Ji Shaotian followed Xu Lihua to go shopping today, originally wanting to go to the pharmacy to find medicinal materials, but seeing her so mysterious, he became a little interested.

"Okay." She smiled in response.

When the original owner was in the Boyi Marquis Mansion, although she was a concubine, she was not favored, her life was very poor, and her stepmother deducted her monthly monthly silver, so she rarely dared to go shopping on the street.

Even if the original owner later became the princess of Qi, because she was not favored by the king of Qi, she could not enter and leave the palace at will.

So much so that the original owner grew up in Kyoto, but he was not familiar with the major streets of Kyoto.

This Boya Pavilion is still because Ji Wushuang has been in and out of the capital, and she has shown off in front of her, and she knows that it is very famous in Kyoto, and almost all the daughters of aristocratic families have a copy of Boya Pavilion jewelry.

Everyone is proud to own Boyacle jewelry, and even compares it to each other.

Ji Shaotian was very curious, where was the more mysterious place than Boyage.

At Xu Lihua's behest, the groom drove the carriage out of the city and stopped in front of a Zhuangzi thirty miles outside the city.

At this time, Xu Lihua didn't know where to take out two masks, one for Ji Shaotian and the other for herself.

"Don't lean, you'll follow me in a moment."

Seeing this, Ji Shaotian raised his delicate eyebrows a little puzzled, but he didn't ask more, stretched out his hand and put the white-faced mask on his face, and followed Xu Lihua into Zhuangzi.

Along the way, Ji Shaotian was observing the surroundings and found that there was no trace of a horse-drawn carriage parked outside Zhuangzi, but the road in front of Zhuangzi was often run over by wheels, forming a small road.

Before Xu Lihua entered Zhuangzi, she took out a wooden sign to show the little guy who was guarding the door, and the little guy saw it, so he let him go.

So it's not a place that anyone can enter.

After entering Zhuangzi, the narrow corridor stretches to the end of the garden, and then another corridor turns at the end, and then gradually human voices are heard.

At the end of the corridor is a large living room with maidservants and servants dressed in uniform to guide the guests.

It was not the first time Xu Lihua had come here, so she was familiar with Ji Shaotian and led Ji Shaotian to the Treasure Pavilion for auctioning jewelry.

The Treasure Pavilion is on the third floor, and a platform has been built in the middle, and the auctioned ornaments are displayed in the middle of the table.

Xu Lihua took Ji Shaotian to find a front position and sit down.

When Ji Shaotian saw this situation, he couldn't help but think of modern auctions. I didn't expect that there would be such a place in Dajin.

She approached Xu Lihua and whispered in her ear: "Uncle, are there other things to be auctioned here besides jewelry?" ”

Xu Lihua smiled: "Naturally." This Xingnan commercial house is involved in almost all walks of life, and there are such auction houses all over the country, specializing in selling all kinds of scarce or precious things. ”

"On the third floor is the Treasure Pavilion, not only for auction ornaments, but also for some strange things. Everyone looks at the degree of liking and gives the appropriate price. If you look at something you like today, as long as it does not exceed 1,000 taels of silver, your aunt can take it for you. ”

Ji Shaotian was a little embarrassed: "Uncle, you have just returned to Beijing, you really don't have to spend too much money on me......

"This is a gift that my aunt has prepared for you, you can choose. If we like it, we will participate in the auction, and it is naturally good to be able to buy it, but if we can't buy it, we are not reluctant. ”

"My aunt took you on this trip today, the key is to show you that there are still such places in Kyoto." Xu Lihua said with a smile.

Ji Shaotian understood Xu Lihua's intentions, and nodded with a smile.

After a while, the first ornament was brought up, which was a gold-inlaid beaded bat hairpin used by a favorite concubine of the previous dynasty, which was very gorgeous and luxurious, with a reserve price of two hundred taels.

Xu Lihua glanced at Ji Shao, and when she saw that she shook her head, she didn't raise her card.

In the end, this gold-inlaid beaded manta hairpin was bought for 5,000 taels of silver.

Ji Shao tugged at Xu Lihua's sleeve: "Uncle, the starting price of things here is low, but ......"

She pointed to the people around her: "There are many rich people. We're just afraid that we won't be able to shoot what we like today. ”

Xu Lihua smiled with an experienced smile: "That's not necessarily. Maybe we'll be able to pick up the leak today? ”

There were five or six auctions, and Ji Shaotian couldn't sit still and wanted to look around.

Xu Lihua couldn't stand Ji Shaotian's little eyes, so she could only give up in the end and take her around.

The two of them left from the Treasure Pavilion and went to the Strange Flowers and Plants Pavilion on the second floor. The people who come here are all guests who like precious flowers and plants.

These flowers and plants have medicinal value and appreciation value. Of course, flowers and plants with medicinal properties are more expensive.

At this time, the auction was a pot of dying moonflower grass. This herb is very valuable and is usually used to refine some life-sustaining pills.

But this month Huacao needs to be alive, and its medicinal value is high. This one is about to die, and it's very chicken.

The little guy who presided over the auction only gave a brief introduction, and after asking three times, he saw that no one raised a sign, so he wanted to replace it with a kind of flower and plant.

At this time, Ji Shao squeezed over.

"Wait a minute, one hundred and one taels of silver, I want it!"

Because the reserve price of Yuehua grass is one hundred taels of silver, Ji Shaotian bid one hundred and one taels.

When the little guy saw the sign in Ji Shaotian's hand, he immediately made a decision, and the things belonged to Ji Shaotian.

Everyone looked at Ji Shaotian and saw that although she was wearing a mask, her voice was young, it could be seen that she was giving an ignorant little girl to buy a dead thing for a hundred taels of silver.

The Yuehua grass, which is about to die, is not worth a hundred taels of silver. The medicinal value is not as good as the roots of ginseng for decades, so most people will not buy it.

However, it is not excluded that some people who have not seen the world are excluded.

But fresh moonflower grass is rare, and it will be fought over as soon as it appears. Every time it is auctioned at a sky-high price, after all, it is something that can continue to live.

Xu Lihua regretted that her hand was slow, and she didn't have time to stop Ji Shaotian. Seeing that the dust had settled, he could only sigh and say, "Girl, this dying moonflower grass is not as good as the ginseng roots for decades." You have lost a hundred taels of silver. ”

"Uncle, I won't lose." Ji Shaotian smiled playfully, and didn't tell Xu Lihua here that she could feed Yuehua Cao.
