Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 102
Liu Ling thought it was a sign that he had asked someone to come down with the finger, but he didn't move until he sent the person out.

So I thought that when he came up with this finger, he would always ask something, but who knew that such a sentence came out of his mouth.

He couldn't help being slightly stunned, and said: "I'm fine, so I'll leave now."

Just walking to the door, he stopped after thinking about it and said: "The young one just hired Miss Shen to appraise jade for the shop."

Xiao Huai didn't make a sound, and turned his gaze over after a while.

Liu Ling walked back quickly: "If I hadn't verified it myself, I really didn't know there was such an outstanding girl in the Shen family.

"Ms. Shen is not only familiar with various jade prices, but also has a very good understanding of the texture and craftsmanship of jade. But she only agrees to appraise jade for the store for three months."

Xiao Huai looked at him, his gaze seemed to be glued.

Liu Ling couldn't resist this sight, so he continued anxiously: "Miss Shen refused at first, and then asked the younger one to inquire about things for her, and then agreed to the younger one's employment, and she didn't accept the bride price."

Xiao Huai turned his eyes back, and then slowly landed on the military newspaper.

Liu Ling was originally an expert in jade. He used to work as a bookkeeper in the prince's mansion of Daqin County, and he had confidence in his eyesight, so he could trust him to take care of the Qionghua Terrace.

In the past, so many jade appraisers in the shop were so picky by him, but now he is full of praise for the eyesight of a little girl, which is really rare.

"What's the matter?" He flipped through the notebook.

"Miss asked the little one to inquire about the origin of a piece of old pit glass seed jade in the hands of the granddaughter of Ji Shihui, the official doctor."

Liu Ling didn't dare to hide the truth, and told the truth.

Xiao Huai's eyes were slightly confused, and he fixed on the booklet.

Seeing this, Su Yan stepped forward and acted as a walking file: "Ji Shihui's daughter is Shen Ruopu's third daughter-in-law."

There was a flash of clarity in Xiao Huai's eyes.

But this understanding soon turned back to confusion, even if Ji Shihui's daughter is Shen Ruopu's third daughter-in-law and Shen Xi's aunt, even if Miss Ji's jade is the old pit glass species, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with her .

Su Yan saw it again, and said, "I heard that the three households of the Shen family don't have a good relationship with each other."

Xiao Huai lowered his eyes.

Since the relationship is not harmonious, so to speak, they are digging for each other.

He remained expressionless and continued to read the booklet.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Liu Ling left with peace of mind.

There were only two masters and servants left in the house.

Xiao Huai looked at the booklet, and suddenly closed it again with a slap, his eyes looking forward also became cold.

In the end, it is still difficult to settle down.

Where does he stink?

"Tell Liu Ling that he doesn't need to go to inquire about it. You go."

Huang's mother and daughter picked out a total of five pieces of jewelry, all of which were of the highest quality selected by Shen Xi, and the sum of them was less than the regular price of two pieces.

Don't mention how happy she was on the way back, but when the excitement subsided, Huang looked at Shen Xi who was sitting beside her thinking, and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.

Thinking about how stupid they were at the beginning, they only thought that she was easy to bully because she had no parents, but in the end, she helped them save the marriage, and today she saved a large sum of money.

And she was still thinking about the 500 taels that she cheated before, and even the money saved by these few jewelry today is thanks to her!
She was ashamed and ashamed, and secretly made up her mind.

After returning to Fuxiangyuan, he picked out a mutton fat jade bracelet from the jewelry he bought and gave it to Shen Xin: "Give this to Sister Xi as a thank you gift."

Shen Xin was very surprised, this bracelet was bought for 200 taels of silver, according to the regular price in their shop, you can get 500 taels!
"You really don't understand." Huang sighed, "Sister Xi's ability is there. Others don't know it. Now you and I don't know it? With her help, even if you encounter similar things in the future, you will always eat it." Not at a loss.

"Didn't you see that shopkeeper Liu offered her 80 taels a month's salary just now and she didn't care? Just a bracelet can give you more people to advise you in the future. Isn't that worthwhile?"

Shen Xin suddenly realized!

Mrs. Huang was right. If Mrs. Huang went to ask Mrs. Ji for help today, and they would ignore her and let her go, would she still be able to cut the 2000 taels to 200 taels?

It was worth thinking about it, so I took it to Rikain.

Shen Xi didn't expect Huang's mother and daughter to be grateful to her. Originally, she didn't help them because the road was rough, but because Shen Ruopu promised her that she would be able to move back to Minxiangyuan for the sake of doing good things. , If you want to attack the two of them, she will not care!

She is short-handed, of course she is not rare to accept this bracelet.

If it weren't for today, she wouldn't be able to ask Liu Ling to inquire about Ji Jinzhi's jade for her. When the second room's property is recovered and she spends her own money, no one can control her!
Right now she was thinking about two things.

One is what will happen to the results of Liu Ling's investigation?The second is Mrs. Qi, who fell into her hands today. I wonder if there will be any movement from the Han family?
Everyone in the world knows that the Han family was completely established when the dynasty changed. Han Dun's wife, Xu Shi, is the younger sister of Xu You, who was in the military camp at the time, and married three years after Jianwen.

Han Dun's only younger brother, Han Jin, was seven years younger than him. He married the third daughter of Qiu Shaoqi, the prefect of Hubei, in Jianwen eight years ago.

Mrs. Qi is the eldest sister of the Qiu family and also married in Hubei, but the Qi family is only a scholarly family, far less prominent than the Han family.

The purpose of going to Beijing this time is to seek marriage for my daughter, the Han family has a big house with many yards, and Mrs. Qiu is very fond of Mrs. Han, so she accepted Qiu's invitation and stayed here.

When she came out of Qionghua Terrace, she went back to Han's house in a dull way.

In order not to make the Han family look down upon them, they never showed it until they entered the Liubingyuan where their mother and daughter lived temporarily, and then they sat on the bed and became depressed.

Daughter Qi Wei saw it from the corridor, and then walked in: "What's wrong with mother?"

Madam Qi sighed, and told her about the Qionghua Terrace: "You also know that we only brought 1000 taels of silver when we entered Beijing.

"Although the daily expenses of living in the Han family are ignored, after all, they are dependent on others, and they are such a family. People say that the prime minister is the gatekeeper and the fifth-rank official. Are the people in this mansion easy to get along with?

"At the beginning, each room took turns to receive the wind for us, and we had to take turns to return their gifts.

"In addition to the gifts I bought for my brothers and sisters, in the past ten days or so, I have already spent two or three hundred.

"And your marriage is always high or low, and I don't know how long you will stay. I just want to take the bracelet to Qionghualou to estimate the price, and turn it into a few hundred taels of silver to turn around. How do I know? It's such a bad thing to happen to-"

She turned sideways angrily and sighed.

Qi Wei comforted her and said: "Mother, why should you be angry about this? According to what you said, the other party is just a female family member of a third-rank official family. No matter how crazy she is, she will never be as crazy as the Han family.

"You might as well tell your aunt, she will naturally have a way to deal with that Miss Shen."
