The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 21 Night Thief Treasure
"Thunder Shadow." Gong Xingyan cherished words like gold.

After the words fell, a black figure suddenly appeared in the house out of thin air.

Lei Ying, as the name suggests, his existence is like a shadow.

"Lei Ying has met you." Lei Ying knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and saluted Gong Xingyan respectfully.

Gong Xingyan said coldly: "You go and keep an eye on that girl, that girl is too tricky and has many thoughts, Lei Jian will definitely lose her."

"Yes, Lord." Lei Ying took the order, only to see a black figure flash past, the room was suddenly empty, and there was no figure of Lei Ying.

After Lei Ying left, Gong Xingyan continued to play with the jade wrench in his hand, smiling meaningfully, and looked extremely evil.

After Xi Wanqing threw away Lei Jian, she took Lian Xin straight to Nongjiao Pavilion.

This Nongjiao Pavilion makes jewelry for a living, and it is well-known in Nanheng Country. The jewelry of Nongjiao Pavilion is not only unique in style, but also exquisite in workmanship. The accessories of the concubines in the palace are all exclusively provided by this Nongjiao Pavilion.

Xi Wanqing walked into Nongjiao Pavilion with Lian Xin, and the shop assistant warmly welcomed her.

"Please, sir, these are new accessories from Nongjiao Pavilion, I guarantee you will be satisfied." The store clerk led Xi Wanqing to the counter and warmly introduced them.

Xi Wanqing was not interested in looking at those accessories, so she spoke directly to the store clerk, "Call your pavilion master out, I have something to discuss with him."

The store clerk saw that Xi Wanqing didn't look like he was here to buy things, and felt a little displeased, but he didn't dare to take a peek at Xi Wanqing's overall demeanor.

"My lord, please wait a little while. I'll invite the pavilion master here." The store clerk didn't dare to neglect, so he went into the inner room to invite the pavilion master.

After a while, a fat middle-aged man came over and said to Xi Wanqing with a smile on his face, "Young Master, what is the matter with Qin?"

Qin Zhong, the owner of the Nongjiao Pavilion, is very business-minded and slick.

Xi Wanqing looked at Qin Zhong slightly, and saw that he smiled three-fold when he met everyone, and he was an expert in business, so he took out the blueprint he had drawn and said: "My son's mother's birthday is coming soon, and I need to customize this set of accessories. The mother expresses filial piety."

Qin Zhong took Xi Wanqing's drawing, and after seeing the drawing clearly, he praised repeatedly: "This is really exquisite, absolutely exquisite."

"Excuse me, my lord, what material do you want to make this thing with?" After Qin Zhong praised him, he turned to ask Xiang Xiwanqing.

"My son needs to make it with gold. This pair of butterfly gold wing earrings weighs one coin, and Luanfeng and Ming Jinbuyao weigh ten coins. No less or more. The size is marked on the drawing. Come on." Xi Wanqing finished speaking lightly.

Qin Zhong looked at the size on the blueprint and continued: "Your Excellency is guaranteed to be satisfied with the accessories we made in Nongjiao Pavilion, but... it's just that the weight of the Golden Wing Butterfly Earrings is only one penny, and the weight of Luanfeng and Mingbuyao is only ten quarters." According to the size requested by the young master, the wings of the butterfly and the phoenix must be as thin as the wings of a cicada, and it is extremely difficult to make, although the gold used for this thing is not much, but because of the extremely exquisite production, the price will inevitably be very high."

Xi Wanqing had expected that it would not be cheap, so she said calmly, "Please ask Pavilion Master Qin to make a price."

Qin Zhong thought for a while and blurted out: "1 taels of silver."

The silver was 1 taels, and Lian Xin's eyes widened in shock. She originally thought that her young lady just liked that set of jewelry so much, so she drew it for fun, but she didn't expect that the young lady wanted to imitate it.

"Deal." Xi Wanqing agreed without any hesitation, but Lian Xin was so frightened that her palms were sweating, she reached out to pull the corner of Xi Wanqing's clothes.

Xi Wanqing frowned, and glanced at Lian Xin, Lian Xin quickly stopped.

Seeing that Lian Xin withdrew her hand, Xi Wanqing went on to say: "Pavilion Master Qin, I don't have so much cash now, but I can provide Master Qin with some jewelry designs. Not only earned 1 taels of silver."

After Xi Wanqing finished speaking, she took out the blueprints that she carried with her and handed them to Qin Zhong.

Qin Zhong took over the blueprints, appreciating them one by one, and from time to time gave out a voice of praise: "Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful. I have lived most of my life, and I have never seen such a new and wonderful style."

The so-called do one line and love one line, Qin Zhong saw such a new pattern, how could he not be attracted.

After Qin Zhong read the blueprint, he concealed the joy on his face and said slowly: "Young master, I can't decide this matter for the time being. Please allow me to report to the master before replying to the young master."

"Okay, then Pavilion Master Laoqin will be there." Xi Wanqing said politely.

In the dark, Lei Ying had already followed Xi Wanqing, Ling Bo transmitted the news to Gong Xingyan.

"Master, Fifth Miss is in Nongjiao Pavilion at the moment. She wants to imitate the supreme beauty. Qin Zhong asked for 1 taels of silver for handwork. Fifth Miss has no money and wants to use some blueprints as collateral."

"No matter what request, let Qin Zhong agree to her." Gong Xingyan ordered Lei Ying without hesitation.

"Yes, this subordinate will do it now." Lei Ying took the order and withdrew his internal strength.

Lei Ying sneaked into the Nongjiao Pavilion nimbly, and grabbed a fellow at random.

"Come on..." As soon as Lei Ying let go of the man, the man was about to call someone, when Lei Ying immediately tapped the Ya acupoint.

Lei Ying stared at the guy, and threatened coldly: "If you want to survive, don't shout."

The guy was scared out of his wits and nodded slightly, indicating that he would not yell anymore.

Lei Ying took out a jade pendant from his body, handed it to the clerk, and said calmly: "Go and give this jade pendant to Qin Zhong, and tell him quietly that no matter what the young master downstairs asks, he must agree to it."

After Lei Ying finished his orders, he untied the dumb acupoint on the buddy.

The guy really didn't dare to shout anymore, picked up the jade pendant and ran away.

Seeing Qin Zhong, the clerk first whispered to Qin Zhong's ear, told him what happened just now, and then handed him the jade pendant.

When Qin Zhong saw the jade pendant, his face changed instantly, and when he looked at Xi Wanqing again, he showed respect.

"Young master, the old man accepts your blueprint. Please rest assured that our store will make this set of jewelry for you as quickly as possible. Please come and pick it up in three days."

Xi Wanqing was puzzled. A moment ago, this Qin Zhong was unable to decide the matter, but at this moment he agreed to her so readily and with such a respectful attitude. What did the guy say secretly just now? Could it be that someone secretly helped her, thinking of the execution ground last time What happened, a bamboo chopsticks directly pierced through the heavy chopping knife and saved her from the butcher knife, but when did she know such a person.

Xi Wanqing kept searching in her mind, but she couldn't figure out who this person was. She was very upset, and felt like she was being peeped and didn't realize it.

Although Xi Wanqing had doubts in his heart, he didn't show it too much, and replied with a light smile: "Then I will thank Pavilion Master Qin."
