Chapter 32
The next day, the long-lost sky showed a smiling face.

Dressed in gorgeous purple jade, thirty egg-sized gemstones were packed in two ebony boxes, with black velvet as the bottom, and stuck on the holders.

The bright gemstones are exceptionally bright in the dark box, making people fall in love with them at first sight.

Such a large and high-quality gemstone, even purple jade, is rarely seen in later generations, and its value is as high as tens of millions. It is a jewelry sought after by many powerful women.

Ziyu, who was standing at the window, looked at the Zhenbao Building diagonally opposite, and the staff were cleaning in an orderly manner in the newly opened store.

A lean man and a woman stood at the door, sizing up everyone who passed by the door with eagle-like eyes.

Ziyu put a box of gems into the space, and took out a beautiful ebony box in a handbag.

With a flick of his sleeves, he swaggered downstairs, and the jewel-encrusted dagger at his waist swung with his steps. The guy who was waiting outside the door early in the morning stared straight at him.

"Young master, do you want to have breakfast? Our shop can also provide luxury carriages for travel."

"No, I want to experience the folk customs."

Ziyu didn't even give the buddy a look, and walked out of the Manyue Building with a sway, and went straight to the Zhenbao Building opposite.

The female clerk at the door looked at the dagger at Ziyu's waist, her falcon-like eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.

"My lord, please sit down in the guest room!"

Ziyu glanced at the resplendent and resplendent decoration in the store calmly, the store signboard facing the gate was covered with gold leaf, which was extraordinarily grand and luxurious.

The gold jewelry in the glazed counter is inlaid with filigree and lifelike flower and bird shapes. The exquisite workmanship can be called a work of art in later generations.

Pearls and gemstones are not widely inlaid on gold jewelry, but the particles are as large as the broken gemstones she bought.

A gold bracelet with a wide mouth was set with a ring of broken red, green, and blue gemstones.

"This bracelet is not bad, how did you sell it?" Ziyu stopped in front of the glazed counter, pointing with her slender fingers.

"My lord, this bracelet is called Fu Gui Man Tian, ​​888 taels.

There is only one in the whole world, there is no similarity! "

Ziyu listened to the buddy's advertisement, which was similar to later generations, and just wanted to give her a big roll of eyes.

She can buy three and a half bags of broken gemstones for 20 taels, and her worth doubles if she changes places.

It is true that rich people and women earn money easily.

"Yes, Not Bad!
Call out your shopkeeper and talk to him if you have business! "

Ziyu patted the exquisite bag in her hand suggestively, and then glanced at the trays of jewelry on the glazed counter.

"Young one, please go and invite me, young master please sit inside for a while."

The clerk bowed down and respectfully invited the person to the VIP room to sit down. After delivering tea, snacks, and a stove one by one, he exited the VIP room.

Ziyu was sitting at the tea table, covering the tea cup with Maojian tea.

"Oh, no wonder the magpie came to the door early this morning. It turns out that there are distinguished guests."

There was a crisp sound of collision, accompanied by the fragrance of orchids, and an elegant woman sat down opposite, but she was not shrewd at all.

Ziyu took the tea lid and gave a pause. She didn't expect the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Building to be such a passionate woman.

"Help me palm the shopkeeper!" Ziyu said straight to the point.

As he spoke, he took out the ebony box in the handbag and opened it, and turned to the shopkeeper who was full of jewels.

The bright gemstones shone dazzlingly under the candlelight, and the shopkeeper's long nails unconsciously left a shallow scratch on the armrest of the chair.

"Fifteen top-quality gemstones from overseas, each of which is the size of an egg, with gorgeous colors that can be encountered but not sought after."

Ziyu saw all the shopkeeper's subtle expressions in her eyes, and brought up the topic at the right time.

"How does the young master want to make a move?"

The shopkeeper's heart jumped out of her chest with excitement. As the shopkeeper of the treasure building, she has seen countless jewelry and treasures.

But I still saw this good and many gemstones with complete colors at one time.

Sending a gemstone of this quality to a prince's mansion, the contacts are far from comparable to gold and silver.

The shopkeeper has already figured out in his mind which houses to send these top-quality gemstones to for his wife and young lady to choose.

"A box of 5000 taels of gold is not sold alone.

If the shopkeeper doesn't like it, the Tianxia Pavilion on the opposite side will like it. "

Ziyu secretly increased the price by a large amount, leaving room for the shopkeeper to bargain.

"2 taels of gold, this shop is about to go bankrupt, the young master must leave some food money for my slave's family!"

The shopkeeper reluctantly looked away from the box, but the peripheral vision from the corner of his eye did not leave, for fear that a wrong eye might be dropped.

The attentive Ziyu watched all this scene, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and she slowly reached out to take the box calmly.

"My lord, let's discuss it again!" The shopkeeper said eagerly.

"2 taels of gold, no more!"

"It's a deal. I only accept Qiantong notes, and I'll pack two plates of children's gold and silver jewelry."

Selling 7000 taels of gold more than expected, Ziyu took it when she saw a good deal, and took advantage of this to spend in the store.

...

When Ziyu carried a box of jewelry and was personally sent out of the Zhenbao Building by the shopkeeper, it was already an hour later.

Ziyu didn't go back to the inn directly, but wandered around Xiangfu Street with the box, and walked into Qiantong Bank when she didn't find anyone following her.

"Shopkeeper, exchange it for 100 taels of gold." Ziyu took out a gold ticket of [-] taels.

Inside the tall counter, the shopkeeper carefully compared the words on the gold ticket, and glanced at the gorgeously dressed young man.

"Hold on!"

When Ziyu went out with 97 taels of gold on her back, her heart throbbed with pain when she thought of the 3 taels of handling fee charged.

It is true that no matter what era, money houses and banks are the most profitable industries.

No wonder there are so many people who don't like to bring cash, because there is a 3% handling fee for every entry and exit, no matter how rich you are, you can't afford it!
...

In the following week, Ziyu went in and out of the major banks, only exchanging a few hundred taels of gold each time, and she collected all of the small amounts into the space.

During this wandering period, food prices in Yundu have not dropped.

When I was in the gambling house, I overheard someone talking about the top-quality gemstones that appeared on the market and sold for 5 taels of silver each.

"No matter how beautiful a person is, he is still a profiteer!"

Ziyu spat secretly, knowing that the opportunity she had been waiting for had come.

The next day, Ziyu used the same method to sell the remaining 5000 gems at Tianxia Pavilion for [-] taels of gold.

Ziyu, who hadn't wandered around anymore, returned to the inn and leaned against the window, thinking about leaving, but saw a few strange faces hovering at the door of the inn.

The young men who came out of the inn would all follow for a certain distance, and Ziyu's eyes flickered slightly.

"Hehe, it's not coming for me!"

Ziyu thought of the 7000 taels of gold in her hand, it really touched people's hearts.

Ziyu changed back to her poor attire, settled the bill quietly, and drove the mule cart to pull goods, swaggeringly left through the back door.

Those who squatted in front would never have thought that a rich man would leave through the back door as a poor man.
