Chapter 61: Flirting and knowing oneself is the deadliest
In addition to painting, he is really good at everything.
But this painting, he has been practicing for a long time, and it is a mess.
The two of them who came out of the pottery hall walked slowly side by side.
Since the dirt war, the relationship between the two has become familiar with the naked eye, and there is no longer the restraint of the past.
Ye Shuhua looked at the jade shop passing by as she walked.
When Yin Zixun saw it, he asked, "Want to buy jade?" β
"No, I'm just thinking about the Queen Mother's birthday, what I bought for her. When I went out today, I just bought one and went back. β
He raised his hand and pointed to a shop in front of him and said, "The jade in the jade shop in front is very unique, and each jade is unique, so don't worry about duplicates." Let's go there and have a look. β
Ye Shuhua nodded.
The two quickened their pace and made their way to the store.
The jade inside is really very special, not the same jade or mutton fat white jade.
Colored jade of various colors are also available.
The line of sight swept over, dazzling,
Finally, on the very center of the shelf, the pearl agate pendant.
The color is pure, turquoise and translucent.
She took a fancy to it at first sight.
"Boss, help me get that agate pendant."
"Ouch, the guest officer has a good eye, this is the latest piece of agate in our store, look at this color is as green as a lake, this shape is also pure natural, there is no post-processing at all. Looking at it from a distance, this appearance outline is still the shape of a longevity character, and the meaning is excellent. β
The boss took the pearl agate pendant and introduced it hard.
Ye Shuhua took it and took a closer look, this appearance and outline really looked like a longevity character.
The key is that its surface is smooth and rounded, and it feels excellent to the touch.
She was about to speak when she was interrupted by a shrill voice behind her.
"This pearl agate, I want it!"
The sound went from far to near, piercing Ye Shuhua's ears.
She didn't look back, but she heard who it was.
Looking at the shopkeeper, he hooked his finger and motioned for him to come closer.
Then whispered something.
Yin Zixun stood silently on the side, hearing her words, there was no expression on his face, an expression of sitting idly watching the play.
Ye Shuhua turned his head and saw Ye Gong and Ye Shuyu walking in with a group of maidservants.
She really hasn't seen Ye Shuyu for a few days, but when she sees it today, she has lost a lot of weight.
There is less flesh on her face, her skin is even more saggy, and she is obviously a year younger than her, fifteen years old.
Now she looks like an old girl of twenty-five.
"The county lord shouldn't mind if I bought it, after all, first come, first served."
Ye Shuyu walked in, the rich rouge fragrance on her body, she was so confused, she smiled slightly, and the powder on her face could drop a handkerchief.
The shopkeeper heard that the person in front of him called the female county lord in front of him, and knew that the identities of the two were not simple.
Hurriedly stepped forward, saluted and said peacefully: "This girl, it stands to reason that this agate is the first thing the county lord sees." β
"The county lord saw it first, but she didn't say to buy it, right? This agate is a thousand taels, right? I'm out double two thousand taels, how? β
She is bound to get this agate.
When the shopkeeper just introduced Agate, she heard it all.
This implication alone is very good, she borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to the queen during the queen mother's birthday banquet, and it was the best to give it to the queen.
I heard that the queen likes agate the most, and it is also an agate with the meaning of longevity, which will definitely win her heart.
And yesterday my mother said that my father had already made peace with the prince.
If she behaves well on the Queen Mother's birthday, she will be the crown prince's concubine.
The so-called good performance, in addition to being generous and decent, and having an outstanding appearance, the most important thing is naturally to win the favor of the queen.
If she secretly gave this agate to the queen, the queen would definitely be happy.
As soon as the queen was overjoyed, she decided that she was the crown prince's concubine, and she was sure of it.
Her future happiness is here.
So, this agate, she's going to decide!
Ye Shuhua's eyes flickered, a trace of cunning flashed, and an imperceptible smile rose at the end of her eyes.
"I'll give three thousand taels."
Yin Zixun stood on one side, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, which set off his long body like jade and his handsome face.
With a subtle look on his face, he looked at the scene in front of him.
There is no intention of accosting and helping.
Ye Shuyu's gaze swept over Yin Zixun on Ye Shuhua's side, and surprise appeared in her eyes, which was fleeting.
This is rumored to be the son of Yin Zi Xun Yin, who is a short-lived ghost, and he was born so handsome.
I didn't expect that there would be such a shocking handsome face in this world, I am afraid that no one in the entire country of China can compare.
Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who she had always thought was the most handsome and elegant, was less than one-tenth in front of him.
There was a trace of jealousy in his heart, but when he thought that he was a short-lived ghost, Ye Shuhua would be a widow even if he married.
The slightest jealousy in my heart is gone.
Collecting her thoughts, her eyes fell on Ye Shuhua again, she raised her head and said again: "I'll give three thousand five hundred taels!" β
Ye Shuhua did not show weakness, nor did she have the slightest intention of backing down, one bite was a slap.
"Five thousand taels!"
Her face was calm, her eyes were unwavering, and she looked determined to win.
Ye Gong on the side listened to so much money, and couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat.
This slut, she just relied on her mother's dowry in her hands, so she dared to squander it like this!
It was supposed to be their money.
If they had those dowries, they would dare to be so tough!
But now, more than half of the silver in the Yefu treasury has been reduced, and the lord has been fined again.
Recently, there have been no inputs, all of them have been out.
If they had to add more silver, they would have been able to take it out, but then their food and clothing would have to be halved.
Ye Shuyu's eyes were visibly nervous, her face was tense and serious, and her hand holding her mother's sleeve was clenched tightly, and a circle of folds suddenly appeared in the sleeve.
She looked at her mother beside her.
Ye Gong knew that her daughter was asking her that the family's money was enough.
She hesitated for a moment, and finally her heart crossed.
For the sake of her daughter's future, a few thousand taels is nothing!
She looked up at her daughter again and nodded slightly.
"Five thousand five hundred taels!" Ye Shuyu almost gritted her teeth and said the words.
Ye Shuhua raised her eyebrows and looked at the agate pendant in her hand.
Unexpectedly, he didn't increase the price again, and raised his hand and threw the agate directly to her.
"It's yours."
Ye Shuyu caught the agate pendant in a panic, for fear that if she didn't hold it, she would fall to the ground and break.
That's five thousand five hundred taels of silver.
Looking at the pearl agate pendant in his hand, it feels very good, and the color is also very beautiful up close.
My heart was full of joy and excitement.
She finally won Ye Shuhua once!
But when they took out the money, it still hurt very much, they only took two thousand taels of silver tickets in their hands, and the rest of the money shopkeeper instructed Xiao Er to follow to the Ye Mansion to get it.
Seeing them walk away in the carriage, the shopkeeper was full of smiles, and after saluting heavily, he gave Ye Shuhua two thousand taels of silver tickets.
"Thanks to the county lord's idea, this small agate was sold for such a good price."
Ye Shuhua smiled, "The county lord doesn't have any ideas, she wants to bid herself." β
"Yes, yes, it's a small slip of the tongue, a small slip of the tongue."
"Take the money and show me the best agate in your shop. It's better than the one just now. β
On the way back to Yefu.
Yin Zixun looked at the southern red agate in the box.
"Jiaozang Nanhongli, red jade is worth a thousand gold."
"The piece you got only cost two thousand taels, but it's worth it."
Ye Shuhua glanced at the red agate, and said indifferently: "It's just a red stone, and it's worth a thousand gold is just the value that people give it." β
Yin Zixun put it down, smiled faintly, and was noncommittal.
casually diverted the topic and said: "Recently, the story of the ghost bride and the general has been very popular, I heard that the most famous opera troupe has been adapted into opera, when will we go and see." β
Ye Shuhua thought about it, did they meet too often recently, and the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was coming.
There is also the Wen family's Wen Mei to be busy, I'm afraid I don't have much time.
Then he shirked and said: "The Queen Mother's birthday is coming, I still have to prepare some embroidery, I'm afraid I don't have time." β
"Oh, that's right. Then I'll go to Yefu to find you and embroider with you. β
Ye Shuhua frowned and glanced at him, her eyes hooked, and her face was puzzled.
"Don't you have your own business to do? Also embroidered with me. β
Yin Zixun smiled slightly, so handsome that he couldn't speak.
"My business is to accompany you as my fiancΓ©e."
Ye Shuhua was stunned for a moment, and then said with a relieved smile: "Are you too deep in the play, we are pretending, Yin Gongzi doesn't have to accompany me to outsiders every day." β
"Whoever said it was for outsiders to see, I will show it to you." Yin Zixun naturally answered.
A pair of cold and indifferent eyes, but at this time, they were as hot as fire, staring at her tightly.
Ye Shuhua felt that her heart was skipping a beat, so she was too busy and didn't dare to look at him again.
The carriage was very spacious, and the wind kept blowing in through the windows, but she felt unusually stuffy, and even a little out of breath.
The carriage stopped and arrived at Yefu.
Ye Shuhua jumped out of the carriage in a hurry and returned to Ye's mansion.
Yin Zixun poked his head out and looked at Ye Shuhua who fled in a hurry, and the smile on his lips deepened.
Ye Shuhua didn't settle down until she returned to Huating Garden.
She clutched her heart and sat in front of the window, panting heavily.
Who said that flirting without knowing it is the scariest thing?
She thinks it's flirtatious and knows that it's the most deadly.
Especially against his peerless face, it is a double attack.
No, it seems that it is better to see him less.
Ji Cui handed over the tea and looked at the young lady's contemplative appearance.
said: "Miss, are you tempted by Yin Gongzi?" β
Ye Shuhua retracted her thoughts and denied it at the moment, "How is it possible, there is nothing." Besides, I still have a long way to go for revenge, but I don't have time to think about it. β
Ji Cui knew about the revenge that Miss was carrying, but she also hoped that Miss's heart was not completely dead, and that someone could live in it.
Day 2.
It only took Ye Shuhua two hours to embroider a handkerchief-sized picture of eternal life.
The stitches are not particularly dense, but the color scheme is novel and beautiful.
Today, Yin Zixun really handed over the post, but Ye Shuhua didn't look at it, and directly asked Ji Cui to refuse on the grounds that he was busy.
Ye Shuhua's day was unusually leisurely and quiet, and it soon came to evening.
Ji Cui came back from the study of one side, and after telling the young lady about the accounts one by one, he was about to go and give the silver ticket to Mama Hu.
"How did your hand hurt?" Ye Shuhua raised her eyes and just caught a glimpse of the outside of her palm, which had scratched a layer of skin.
Ji Cui waved his hand and said, "It's just a small injury, it's not tight." If it weren't for the sudden appearance of a large group of people on the street, the slave and maid would not have seen a carriage in the middle, and they would not have dodged and fallen. β
"A large group of people? Isn't there a clear rule in the capital that you can't ride a horse during the day? β
"Yes, the slave was also puzzled at the time."
"Where is the carriage going, do you see clearly?"
