Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 369 Majestic Wealth

Ji Wuyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled suddenly, "What nonsense are you talking about? I can still afford three pieces of shark yarn... Besides, I don't give away the few pieces from the tailor shop, I still have some. Private treasury go."

besides?The Chinese cabbage in the field doesn't grow so fast, does it?
Seeing that Ning Xiuyuan didn't believe it, Ji Wuyan lowered his voice even more, "You've been in Yanjing City, you should have heard of it. In the early years, Yunzhou would send a few horses with tax money every year. Tax deduction. However, in recent years, there has been no more... Have you ever wondered why?"

This matter is not a secret, and Ning Xiuyuan naturally knew that there was a saying in the palace that it was probably due to the gradual decline of those old craftsmen and the gradual loss of the silk yarn technique. Ning Xiuyuan didn't care about this matter, so he didn't think much about it.At this time, Ji Wuyan asked such a question, and he reacted belatedly...

"All... all went to your place?" He asked himself a little in disbelief.

However, Ji Wuyan nodded frankly and admitted, "Grandmother thinks that now that I've grown up, I need to wear more clothes on weekdays, and then I have to make a lot of new clothes when I get married. , I simply suppressed it all... Only when I thought of it occasionally, I sent a horse to Beijing to prove that Yunzhou still takes the Li family's royal family very seriously..."

"So, I have saved a lot over the years. I didn't bring any silk yarn when I came out this time. After all, I didn't plan to wear clothes made of silk yarn in Yanjing City to show off my power. But when Mr. Chen came over, he brought I bought a lot of cars and my grandmother thinks it is my daily necessities here, and there are two boxes of scallops among them.” After finishing speaking, Ji Wuyan shook his head with a wry smile, and said, “So, it’s really not good for me to send three pieces of scallops. What is it?" Saying this, she secretly thought that there was another Shen Luoxin, and this girl would also give a horse when the time came.

There she calmly thought about how much gauze she should give, while Ning Xiuyuan... bowed her head and sighed softly.

For the first time, he realized that his imagination of the word "Ji's family" was too underestimated.Duke Ning's Mansion is considered one of the best aristocratic families in Yanjing City. What good things have you never seen?But if that's the case, there is absolutely no such... majestic wealth.

Yes, majestic.

Did Ning Xiuyuan stop Ji Wuyan from expressing her friendliness in such a shocking way, but he couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that I will have to spend a lot of time explaining to them that I have found an incomparably rich little princess, and I will take action against you." It's a bit more generous, please take care of them."

Ji Wuyan pursed her lips and remained silent, only watching that the price of the second piece of shark yarn had already been bid at 9000 taels, which was close to the price of the first piece.At this moment, the noble concubine was asking the price, but the queen's place was very quiet, obviously she had accepted the first concession and was ready to reciprocate.

Holding her chin, she waved to the little girl who was watching for a while, and whispered a few words in her ear.The girl passed the words to Chaoyun in three or two steps, Chaoyun seemed surprised, raised his eyebrows in this direction, Ji Wuyan silently nodded in affirmation.

Chaoyun made a gesture quietly.

The second piece of shark yarn was finally sold at 9000 taels.

The little girl went to the second floor with her hands in her hands. Everyone was a little bit embarrassed by the price. They thought it was only 1 taels just now, and the second horse was only [-]. How could it be cheaper to buy more?But there were also those who could see clearly, and put their index fingers on their lips to "shh", then pointed to the room where the queen was, and said in a low voice, "I heard that those two from the palace are here too. Thinking about it, the first time that The first place is the empress of the main palace, and the second time this is the empress of the imperial concubine. Let's give way to each other, and no one will refute anyone's face..."

"You know again..."

The man raised his eyebrows, "Hey! Don't believe me, just look at it, there is a high probability that they will each get two of the last five horses, and the last one will be left for those upstairs to compete for, but the price should not be too high." It would be too high, after all... who dares to be richer than the empress Zhenggong, right?"

The other party was dubious.

Chaoyun had already stepped forward, and when he came to the remaining three pieces of shark yarn, he blessed his body and smiled gracefully, "Everyone, let's pack and sell the next three pieces of shark yarn together...the one with the highest price will still get it, The starting price is 7000 taels, and each increase must not be less than 100 taels. Everyone... let’s get started!"

After speaking, he bowed slightly and stepped back.

The crowd was in an uproar!

Most of the nuns and servants on the second floor withdrew to their rooms, and probably went back to ask their master's opinion.On the other hand, the imperial concubine didn't come, so I'm afraid... no one can discuss it.

Ji Wuyan held her chin, smiled softly, and murmured softly, "Look... Brother is right in saying something, this silver is really a pleasant thing."

Looked like a money fan.

Is this the way this girl came up with just now?Ning Xiuyuan shook his head again and again, the little girl knew that she was obsessed with money now, and she just made up her mind to give away the three horses, but she treated money like dung.

"My little girl is really smart." Ning Xiuyuan leaned over and smiled lowly. This is indeed the best way to break the balance.Only when the balance is broken, will there be competition, and competition will bring the greatest benefits.Ning Xiuyuan suppressed his voice and asked Ji Wuyan, "It's just... I suddenly don't understand something. I need Miss Wuyan to explain it for me."

Ji Wuyan was in a good mood at the moment, watching the wolves grabbing food with embarrassing eyes, and lazily replied, "What's the matter?"

"The little princess of the Ji family is as rich as a country. She gave her mother and sisters-in-law a piece of silk yarn, which is worth tens of thousands of taels when converted into cash. Why did the little princess give me a gift... it was eight taels bought at a roadside stall Hairpins for silver coins..."

Ji Wuyan choked.

Thinking of the hairpin I gave him, I felt a little hot on my face.

The eight liang of silver was a lie to Ning Xiuyuan, and Ji Wuyan also knew that Ning Xiuyuan would not believe it, but he compared it like this, with a pitiful and tasteful look, it seemed that he had treated him harshly.Sure enough, Ning Xiuyuan was a narrow-minded man who held grudges.

In the arena, the price has soared all the way to 4 taels. Even though the queen gritted her teeth and accused Ji Wuyan of being treacherous and cunning, she had to hold on to the gradually outrageous price.

People of their status will not be jealous for some external things, and they will consider the situation carefully more often, and will not easily embarrass others for some unnecessary trivial matters.That's why even though he and the imperial concubine had many quarrels, everyone would tacitly give way.

But the premise of this is that one's own interests are not harmed.

It's like if I give up at this moment, my face will be ugly, so these three horses... must be taken down!

The queen gritted her teeth and endured it, but she couldn't hold it back, and angrily spit out two words in front of Ruoshui, "profiteer!"
