Rice fish is not a fool, it is impossible for Chu Xiangqian to say that it is true, and he really thinks it is true.

As for the price, ask the appraisers of a few jewelry stores to get an approximate price.

And last time, Lei Luo spent 80,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy a brooch with rubies and diamonds, and begged Chu to give it to Margaret.

Although he was persuaded by Chu Xiangqian in the end, Bai Rice Fish still made the decision and gave it directly to Chu Xiangqian. Then it was given to Margaret by Chu Xiangqian.

Now that I've bought the finest rubies, I know how much a fingernail-sized ruby is worth.

"How much?"

Chu Xiangqian shook his head and said, "I'll let people get the photos first, the purity of the ruby, the color level, and other data, and then tell me, Uncle, find someone to ask for the price yourself."

If his Indian friends think it's suitable, he will sell it. Lest I quote at will now, and finally buy it expensive, I'm sorry uncle.

The offer is cheap, and people think that I have no sincerity at all, and maybe my friends don't have to do it. ”

Bai Fanyu nodded helplessly, but felt in his heart that Chu Xiangqian was retreating.

Of course, he is also righteous, after all, the price depends on how the appraiser he finds evaluates.

For this alone, even if Chu Xiangqian can earn a little, it shouldn't be much.

As for letting Chu Xiangqian post favors upside down, he didn't make a dime, and Bai Fanyu himself felt that it was impossible.

"Okay, then Uncle is waiting for your news."

Chu Xiangqian sent away the rice fish, and when he returned to the hotel, he first went to the bathroom of the tea restaurant.

After entering the novice village, take out the 16 rubies of 3 grams and 15 carats that appeared on the necklace when you made the animal tooth necklace.

I took a small yellow croaker and went to the jewelry store.

Put the ruby and the small yellow croaker together in the repair window, and click on the repair for 1 gold roll.

In just an instant, it becomes a 21-centimeter gold ruby bracelet.

Color photographs appeared as early as 1839, and in 49 years in China, 250 images of the Grand Ceremony were taken.

So after Chu Xiangqian took 5 photos with his camera, he used the processing equipment he bought before, and it didn't take much effort to wash out the color photos.

When I got out of the bathroom and got on the elevator, I silently thought about how much this necklace would sell for.

Immediately, I secretly rejoiced, but fortunately, I first asked the white rice fish to take the photo to the connoisseur to ask the price.

The appraisers on Hong Kong Island, because most of the contacts are not rough stones, the valuation is generally based on the finished product.

This will inevitably result in a higher valuation than the appraiser at the ruby origin.

And he fooled the white rice fish and said that the ruby bracelet was still in the hands of the non-existent collector.

If you want to buy someone's collection, the bid must be a little higher than the market price.

——

After sending off the rice fish, Chu Qianqian went up to the 5th floor of the hotel.

As soon as I got out of the elevator and was walking towards my suite, I suddenly saw Zheng Sufen standing behind the service desk in the corridor with a haggard face.

When she saw Chu Xiangqian, Zheng Sufen immediately became excited.

Chu Qianqian walked over with a smile, but he was actually still a little suspicious of this woman in his heart.

"How are these two days?"

When Zheng Sufen heard this, tears flowed uncontrollably.

But thinking about what the agents said before, if someone hadn't interceded with him and tried to pressure them, he would definitely not be released so easily.

Suppressing the excitement and fear in his heart, he kept nodding at Chu Xiangqian, "I, I'm fine, the person who arrested me for questioning, although he didn't let me sleep, didn't embarrass me too much."

And in addition to explaining that it was Manager Owens, I gave me a pill to put in your wine.

I didn't say anything else. ”

Chu Xiangqian secretly sighed, if this woman was really not a spy, or deliberately approached her intelligence officer, then she could do this, it was indeed amazing.

Stretched out his hand to help her wipe away the tears on her face, "Hard work, work with peace of mind in the future, everything will be fine."

If anyone gets you in trouble again, just tell me, you know? ”

Zheng Sufen nodded hurriedly, and a smile appeared on her face, "I know, those people also told me, it was you who found someone to put pressure on them, so they released me." ”

After Chu Xiangqian heard this, he sneered in his heart.

It's not that I'm sure that Zheng Sufen has a problem, but I guessed that MI6 people want to see how they will treat Zheng Sufen.

If this woman gains their trust because of this, then they will definitely try their best to win her over and threaten her to do things for MI6.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian was mentally prepared before he went forward, or he would ignore her directly, and the people of MI6 would naturally not use her again.

or through Zheng Sufen's hand, pass on some false news to MI6.

But on second thought, delivering fake news is itself an act of exposing oneself.

And really ignored her, maybe the MI6 people felt that she deliberately snubbed her because she valued her.

In that case, it's better to keep things going on.

When Margaret returned to London, she occasionally stayed at the Peninsula Hotel, and played friendly matches with her if necessary.

She has her own shelter on weekdays, and this woman will not be bullied in the hotel.

Maybe in a few years, Zheng Sufen herself will think about returning to her family.

Or want to live an ordinary life and draw a line with yourself.

However, Chu Xiangqian still wanted to ask her what she thought before making a decision.

He smiled and asked, "After so many things, do you still want to entangle with me?" ”

From yesterday to now, Zheng Sufen has indeed thought a lot, but Chu Xiangqian actually asked in vain.

Zheng Sufen really wanted to break off the relationship with him, so she wouldn't come to work the next day.

Chu Xiangqian saw that she didn't speak, but just looked down at the log on the service desk with a red color, and couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, I'll look for you when I have time."

After speaking, he reached into his pocket and took out a stack of money, "Help me renew my room fee for half a year." When I was on an errand in London a few days later, you asked the hotel to put a mahjong table in my suite.

In the future, I might bring my friends over to play cards. ”

Zheng Sufen nodded hurriedly, just now she broke off her relationship with herself because Chu Xiangqian wanted to give herself a sum of money.

At that moment, I felt distressed in my heart, and I vaguely felt that this was okay.

I didn't expect this bastard to actually tell himself to do things.

But looking at the back of Chu Qianqian walking towards the suite, his eyes were unconsciously a little stupid.

Then he remembered that Margaret had brought a maid into his room.

scolding men in my heart is not a good thing, and my mind begins to think crankily again.

After a while, his face flushed, and he reached out and touched his lips, remembering that he was in the elevator a few days ago, and was hugged and kissed by Chu Xiangqian for a while.

Suddenly he laughed.

That expression is no different from that of a nymphomaniac.

——

Chu Xiang advanced to his suite, and saw Nata in a long dress, holding a wine decanter, and pouring a little red wine into a glass.

He picked up the wine glass and tasted it, and made sure that the wine was almost awake, and then he smiled and planned to tell Margaret.

Just as soon as he turned around, he saw Chu Xiangqian standing at the door and opening himself.

Nata couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then her face slowly turned rosy.

Chu Xiangqian listened to the movement in the bathroom and guessed that Margaret should have been soaked in the bathtub.

stepped forward and reached out to hug the girl who had a night of joy with him.

Nata shyly and nervously pushed Chu forward, but with her little strength, how could she push Chu forward forward?

Not to mention that this girl didn't use much strength, Chu Qian hooked Nata's chin with one hand and looked at the other party's appearance carefully.

Not to mention that although she only has a score of 8, she is young and immature, but a few freckles on her nose and cheeks also affect her overall rating.

But Chu Xiangqian looked at it, and felt that these freckles were actually a little cute.

Bowed her head and kissed Nata on the lips.

In just a moment, the little girl leaned weakly into Chu Xiangqian's arms.

I don't know how long it took, Margaret called Nata in the bathroom, and Chu Xiangqian let it go, scared the little girl like a bird.

whispered in her ear, "I'll come back to you when I've got Margaret done." ”

Nata's face turned even redder after hearing this, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, while thinking about the situation when Chu Xiangqian played a friendly match with herself last time.

Thinking about it, I was both shy and expectant.

It wasn't long before I heard a strange sound coming from the bathroom.

Dozens of minutes later, Chu Xiangqian hugged the weak Margaret out of the bathroom and came to the bedroom, and it didn't take long for Margaret to fall asleep.

Chu Xiangqian came out of the bedroom at this time, and on the sofa in the living room, he taught Nata, who was both expectant and nervous and scared, a lesson.

At around 12 noon, Nata, who had already dressed up and washed, knocked on the bedroom door and heard Margaret's voice coming from inside.

"Come in."

When he pushed the door open and entered the house, he saw Margaret holding up his heel and pointing at him, signaling to be quiet.

Then I saw Chu Xiangqian lying on the big bed and sleeping soundly.

Nata hurriedly picked up her dressing gown, put it on the bedside table on Margaret's side, and whispered, "Your Highness, it's already 12:15 noon."

If we don't go back to the suite on the 7th floor for lunch, Mrs. Bryn will come for us. ”

Margaret pursed her lips dissatisfied, and then whispered in her heart, "Nata, how about I beg my mother to let you be my housekeeper?" ”

Nata was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes fell on Chu Xiangqian.

However, in addition to being able to mess with Chu Xiangqian, the salary of the housekeeper is not low, and with the fact that she is by the side of the royal family every day, there are also a lot of invisible benefits.

The most important thing is that as a noble daughter, there is a high probability that she will be able to marry a nobleman with a high status in the future.

And not those aristocratic children who still have their parents and even their grandfathers on them.

As for the things that can't mess around after getting married, Nata didn't pay attention to it at all.

The young children of the nobles are so chaotic, and the emotional experience of the nobles with titles is even more chaotic.

In the afternoon, he accompanied Margaret to go shopping, and Chu Xiangqian's wallet inevitably deflated a lot.

However, what Margaret particularly liked was the gold silk phoenix crown, gold corsage, and gold silk jewelry box bought from a gold shop run by a fine gold workshop.

Even Chu Xiangqian, a native of the Celestial Empire, saw these three gold products in the gold shop, which were regarded as the treasures of the town store, and felt that the craftsmanship was a little incredible, and at the same time, he felt that it was really good-looking.

Margaret simply pinned the gold wire inlaid agate corsage directly to her chest.

And these three treasures cost Chu Xiangqian a full 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.

If you turn it into gold, you can buy 3 kilograms, but these three things cost just over 2 kilograms of gold.

In other words, the process is worth 4 times as much gold.

However, this is the treasure that people use as a town store, and it represents the highest craftsmanship of this workshop, and it is normal to be expensive.

And I heard that it took the master 2 years to make the golden silk phoenix crown, and Chu Xiangqian felt that the store was fooling himself when he heard it.

But think about the spread of this thing to the London high circle, it can be regarded as a kind of advertisement, maybe in the future, the gold silk handicrafts can be sold to the London high circle.

In the future, other handicrafts from the mainland will also be able to enter the upper class market in London.

At that time, it is not tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars that can be earned, but it is possible to export millions of Hong Kong dollars of goods a year.

Chu Xiangqian, who understood this, in addition to using gestures to bargain with the store, was called a sharp rope when paying.

After buying several boxes of various gifts in the afternoon, Chu Xiangqian felt a little sore in his legs, but Margaret was always in high spirits.

Fortunately, after returning to the hotel, the chick finally sat down directly on the sofa, which made Chu Xiangqian realize that it was not that he would not be tired, but that when people were excited, their potential prompted Margaret to seem to be not tired.

When Chu Xiangqian received a phone call and stood and talked to the other end of the phone for more than ten minutes, Margaret felt that he was a tired and immortal existence.

And this call came from Sanjiangshui.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Xiangqian thought silently, since the shantytown has been completely demolished and cleaned up, it is indeed time to find the design team and start to determine the design of the horse farm and the store on the shantytown.

In the 6 properties used to build vegetable markets, all the tenants have moved out, and how to rebuild or demolish the buildings has to be decided by Chu Xiangqian himself.

In addition, the land used for the construction of a bar street in Tsim Sha Tsui near the ferry terminal has also been carved out.

Sanjiangshui and camels these days, with a few contract foremen, have seen it several times in the past.

Because the project is not difficult, even the drawings have a few contractors looking for someone to draw them.

These are all made after looking forward.

Make an appointment with Sanjiangshui, meet at the Peninsula Hotel Tea Restaurant tomorrow morning, and go to see the land and drawings on the ferry side first.

After going to see 6 vegetable markets, Chu Xiangqian finally went to a design company to discuss the design of the horse farm.

Walked over to Margaret and sat down, put her arms around the chick and asked, "What do you want to eat at night?" ”

Margaret sat for more than twenty minutes, drank two cups of tea, and eased up.

Frowning and thinking for a moment, he suddenly asked in his heart, "My dear, I heard the waiter of the hotel say that there are many delicacies on Hong Kong Island, all in the food stalls.

Why don't we go out at night? ”

Chu Xiangqian said angrily, "I'm worried that if you eat it, you will not be able to adapt to the soil." ”

This is still Chu Xiangqian's euphemism enough, with the hygiene of the food stalls, as well as the practice of heavy oil, heavy ingredients, and heavy taste, Margaret's stomach may not be able to adapt to it.

But this chick just wants to go out and experience the diet of ordinary people, and by the way, take a look at the excitement, holding Chu Xiangqian's arm and shaking it constantly.
