Chapter 139 Imperial Green Bracelet
Then he continued, "Three years ago, you took up your post in Wuyang County, but when you passed by Mingxuan Mansion, you didn't even mention that you were coming to see your third uncle!"
Gu Zizhan spoke slowly: "So aren't you here to apologize to your third uncle?"
"Really? I don't believe it at all! You don't need your uncle's help for anything, and it's not your business."
Looking at the nephew in front of him, he was as rebellious as himself. Of course, he was also opposed by his parents to go into business, but he insisted on doing business. It made a big fuss at that time. Later, he married his current wife in Mingxuan Mansion, so he did not settle in the capital, but directly settled in Mingxuan Mansion.
Check back every few years.
Even though Zizhan is the smartest and most independent among her nephews, her eldest sister always interferes too much.
Leading to discord between mother and child.
Otherwise, the mother and son would not have not seen each other for three years.
Seeing this guy was silent again: "Tell me! What's the matter?"
Gu Zizhan glanced at his uncle and said, "My uncle's business is all over the country, and I just want to introduce a business to him."
Gu Zizhan finished speaking.
His uncle Ji Yuanan couldn't help but smile: "Okay! When you are free, bring the person here so I can get to know him."
His nephew has never asked anyone for help since he was a child.
I actually thought that one day they would ask me for help. It was like the sun really rose in the west.
"Okay, bring her here tomorrow." Gu Zizhan nodded.
Wenzhu was watching from the side. Although the young master was angry with Miss Shen, he did not let the matter go and even came to see his uncle specifically for Miss Shen.
"Well, let's have dinner at home tonight!"
"Ok."
"Well, your cousin Huairen is out shopping with his wife and will be back soon. You two cousins haven't been together for a long time, so you can chat over dinner later."
Gu Zizhan nodded: "Okay."
Shen Xia and Zhao Xue ate various snacks along the way. There are quite a lot of snacks in this city.
Just like that, we were all full and didn’t need to eat dinner.
Until I saw a jade shop.
Shen Xia raised her foot and was about to walk in.
As a result, I felt Zhao Xue holding my hand.
Shen Xia was curious: "What's wrong?"
"Cousin, this looks very expensive." Zhao Xue said self-deprecatingly.
Shen Xia smiled and said, "Yes! That's why things will be more beautiful! Looking at expensive things will make you work hard to become better, because when you are better, you can buy what you like."
Shen Xia brainwashed her cousin.
"Is that right?"
"Yes, how can you not believe what I say?" Shen Xia said seriously.
"Be more confident. Just because you can't afford it today doesn't mean you can't afford it tomorrow."
Zhao Xue nodded: "Yes,"
After that, the two of them entered a shop called Gulangge.
There's jade all over here.
Shen Xia walked around for a while and saw a small saleswoman nearby introducing things.
Shen Xia discovered that jade at that time was not as expensive as it would be in later generations, but was only slightly more expensive than gold.
I was thinking of buying one for my mother. As for Song's mother, she is always around and I have plenty of time to be filial to her.
Suddenly I saw an imperial green jadeite, oh my god!
so beautiful!
"Hello, how much is this bracelet?" Shen Xia asked the merchant girl next to her.
The little girl smiled and said, "This is two thousand taels."
When Shen Xia heard this, he realized that this one tael of silver was equivalent to one thousand yuan in consumption in later generations, so these two thousand taels were equivalent to two million yuan!
Nowadays, a bracelet made of Imperial Five Green costs between five to ten million yuan!
The price here is indeed a bit better.
But two thousand taels is definitely not enough for me now. I will buy one for my mother when I have more money.
Zhao Xue was standing nearby when she heard the number two thousand taels. Her jaw dropped. What an astronomical figure!
Then she looked at the other things and found a bracelet that was not as green but looked younger, which was also very beautiful.
Shen Xia pointed: "What about this one?"
"This is one hundred and twenty taels." The merchant woman replied.
Anyone who can spend more than 100 taels of silver at a time in the capital city is considered to be of upper middle class conditions.
The little girl happily took out the bracelet for Shen Xia.
Shen Xia didn't go to take it, but waited for her to put the bracelet on the tray before taking it.
The merchant girl took a closer look and found that although the girl's clothes were not fancy, her conversation and behavior habits showed that she was very knowledgeable.
Shen Xia picked it up gently. This one was not as green as the previous one. It was apple green, but it was close to Zhengyang Green.
This mother belt must be beautiful.
Although she may not wear it, she definitely likes it.
The most important thing is, it’s only over one hundred taels!
I looked at the circle and they should be about the same size.
"Please help me pack it up." Shen Xia said to the business woman.
The little girl was also very happy. She thought I was just browsing around, but she didn't expect that I would actually buy something.
"Okay, wait a moment, miss."
"Okay," Shen Xia said and took Zhao Xue to look at other things.
This store has a wide variety of products, including jade pendants, hairpins, and everything else.
It’s just that I don’t need anything else, and I don’t have any money.
It’s not time to consume yet.
After a while, the girl wrapped it and handed it to Shen Xia. Shen Xia paid the money and went out with Zhao Xue.
The merchant was very polite: "Miss, take care."
Shen Xia is happy from head to toe now!
I feel like I got a great bargain.
When I have more money in the future, I will definitely buy more for my dad and grandpa and the others.
Now I can only buy it for my mother first.
I was thinking that when I looked at it from inside before, I might not be able to see it clearly!
What if there is a defect?
"Cousin, hold the box for me. I'll take another look."
My cousin nodded: "Okay."
Shen Xia took the bracelet in her hand again, and found that there was no flaw.
beautiful.
I like it so much!
Both of them were immersed in their own happiness and didn't notice the carriage speeding towards them.
Although the driver was already shouting: "Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly——."
When Shen Xia saw the approaching carriage, his first reaction was to push Zhao Xue away, but he was hit by the carriage and fell.
"Crack." The jade shattered in an instant, and Shen Xia's hand fell on it.
A cut was made and the blood kept flowing.
But Shen Xia didn't care about her hands at all, she just felt sorry for the bracelet that she was so happy about.
Zhao Xue reacted.
"Cousin, what's wrong with you? Oh my god, there's so much blood." Zhao Xue quickly helped Shen Xia up.
Shen Xia watched the bracelet that she was so happy about disappear just like that.
I was so angry that I watched the carriage go away.
Looking at Zhao Xue: "You go back first."
"I'm going to settle the score with that carriage."
Zhao Xue looked at Shen Xia: "No, I'll go with you."
Shen Xia thought that there might be a tough battle to fight later, and she was really worried about her cousin following her.
It would be easier to run if you have some martial arts skills.
"Trust me, I'm fine. You go back first." Shen Xia looked at her cousin seriously.
In the end, there was no other way, so Zhao Xue could only go back, thinking of going back to find Lord Gu to tell him about the situation.
Shen Xia picked up her broken bracelet and followed him.
After a while, they caught up with the carriage.
Stop at a majestic gate.
There was a sign on the door saying Ji Mansion.
It’s obvious that they are a wealthy family, is it impossible for them not to compensate themselves?
Thinking about it, I moved forward.
As a result, the people looking at the carriage were in a panic.
It seems like something big happened.
