Work overtime

Chapter 129 I'm Busy Right Now

"I would like to follow your mother's instruction." Ye Suhua replied respectfully.

She was a completely different person from the arrogance and domineering ten days ago.

Beatings teach how to behave.

"Retire. Remember, this is the last chance. Take care of yourself and don't cause trouble for me. I heard that your mother and your brother had suffered outside the palace."

"Concubine Xie Jing is still willing to give this concubine a chance. The concubine will resign." Ye Suhua replied tremblingly.

While talking, an emerald hairpin in Concubine Jing's hand snapped into two pieces.

Hearing this, Ye Suhua's heart trembled, his shoulders trembled, and he was a little flustered.

Facing Ye Suhua's back, Concubine Jing said with regret and sarcasm:

"It's a good hairpin, and the water color is also good. It's a pity that it broke."

Ye Suhua naturally knew that he was speaking for himself, and his scalp tingled for a while.

On the side of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager heard the news, and just said "hmm" to show that she understood, and it was all discussed before.

But being higher than Concubine Hui, I still feel a little uncomfortable.As for Hai Lanzhu, a barbarian girl who appeared unexpectedly, she didn't pay attention at all.

The point is, the Compassionate Ning Palace is busy right now.

A diamond the size of a fingernail was missing from the valuable and unique diamond hairpin given to the Queen Mother by the sixth child.

First, they interrogated the maids and servants below, and even used a small punishment on some suspects, but no one admitted to stealing the diamond.

It was Aunt Zhao who persuaded the Queen Mother that if there was a house thief, they would steal the whole hairpin instead of picking out one of them.

In addition, this hairpin is a rare item from the Western Regions. Most people have never seen such a shining gem, so it is not easy to get rid of it.Because it is so eye-catching, people who buy it must not dare to wear it lightly.

Insider thieves are unlikely.

Therefore, the most likely situation is that the hairpin got hooked somewhere, and the jewel was not set firmly enough and fell off.

The maids serving in Jiang Yuebai's side hall were also called for interrogation, and a bunch of court ladies and eunuchs turned back to look for things.

So Jiang Yuebai soon found out about the news.I heard that the lost diamond was as big as a fingernail, I'm afraid it must be one carat.

What a royal.

She remembered that when she was looking at the Arowana by the pond in the afternoon, she seemed to see a very shiny white spot. At that time, she thought it was the reflection from the sunlight on the water surface or the pool wall.

This lotus pond is a purely artificial lotus pond, which is extremely extravagant.The bottom of the entire pond is covered with blue colored glaze, and the walls of the pond are inlaid with snow-white colored glaze called "jar jade".

Now that I think about it, is it possible that the glowing white spot is a diamond?
The servants who turned the Compassionate Ning Palace upside down were trembling and almost cried.

They all knew that the Queen Mother cared most about the Sixth Prince.This hairpin is going to be worn to the Sixth Prince's wedding.

No one dares to slack off.

So Jiang Yuebai asked the little maids what they were looking for, and they told them all without hesitation.

When Jiang Yuebai was thinking about how to turn this matter into an opportunity, the little maid beside the queen mother hurried in: "Master Xianya, the queen mother is here to invite you."

This was Aunt Zhao's idea.

Firstly, maybe Jiang Yuebai picked it up just by chance. Secondly, Jiang Yuebai is smart, so maybe he came up with an idea. Thirdly, Jiang Yuebai was born in a local tyrant in the south of the Yangtze River, and his family is in business. Maybe there is such a rarity. thing.

Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

The queen mother called Jiang Yuebai, but she didn't have any hope.

No nonsense, straight to the point, and asked Jiang Yuebai if he had any tricks to find diamonds.

Jiang Yuebai's professional HR skills are on the line. When the leader is anxious to get angry like ants on a hot pot, as a subordinate, you must calm down.

Because in retrospect, the leader will not think of his own panic, but will remember the subordinates' bewilderment.

More importantly, only by being calm and calm can we develop quick wits and find solutions to problems.

Jiang Yuebai calmly appeased the queen mother first, saying that the diamond will definitely be found, and if she can't find it, she has a diamond necklace, so the queen mother can rest assured.

You can remove the gems from the necklace first and put them on the hairpin.Find the lost gems slowly.

When she heard that Jiang Yuebai had a diamond necklace, the Queen Mother was shocked.

I'm afraid that with so many people in the harem, even rich and powerful ladies like Concubine Chen and Ye Suhua may not have such rare gems as diamonds.

After all, even as the empress dowager, it was the first time I saw her.

But the Empress Dowager had seen too many big scenes, her expression and tone remained the same, and she asked with a sense of inquiry, "This diamond is a rare thing in the Western Regions, why does Xianya often have it?"

Jiang Yuebai looked up, and the Empress Dowager's eyes were bottomless, brighter than the stars in the sky, but the eyes contained in them were sharper than knives.

Then she lowered her head involuntarily, but only for a moment, she raised her head and looked back bravely.

Be upright, why be timid.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, this is a gift that my father bought from a merchant in the Western Regions for my concubine before entering the palace. It is said that diamonds are also rare in the Western Regions. The bigger, more transparent and clean, the more expensive it is. As for the concubine, it is It cost 3000 taels of silver.

There are so many gemstones on the hairpin of the Queen Mother, and the quality is still top-notch, which is really rare. "

There is nothing wrong with flattering and showing loyalty.

Hearing this price, Tai Tai didn't change his face, but was shocked.

This old sixth really spent a lot of money.The one that fell was not the biggest one.

She felt more and more gratified at the filial piety of the sixth child.

Jiang Yuebai had already made up her mind that they must not let them find the diamond in the pond, and must replace the diamond with her own necklace, so that the queen mother would definitely remember her generous rescue.

She paused, and after making up things together, she started to get down to business, "It's a pity that such a precious diamond hairpin is broken. You can remove the diamond from the necklace and set it on this hairpin. It will come in handy. "

The queen mother looked down at her condescendingly, and looked at her, "You just said that your father gave you this necklace?"

Jiang Yuebai lowered her eyes and replied calmly, "It is the blessing of that diamond and the Jiang family's blessing to be able to wear it on the empress dowager's bun. The concubines usually wear jade pendants to keep them safe. The diamond necklace It’s been kept in the box and never used.”

Jiang shi was blatantly trying to please her again, but it just made people unable to refuse, and was even a little moved.

The Queen Mother suddenly* smiled.

The strength to be able to take out a diamond the size of a fingernail tonight is not something ordinary people can have.

Opportunities belong to those who are prepared.

For this preparation, money must be prepared first, and there must be special channels.

In the special period before, there was a special drug for lung disease that was priced but had no market and queued up to buy it. The original Viagra in the millennium was this kind of hard currency with a strong price.

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuebai asked for a pen and paper, wrote down the exact storage location of the diamond necklace, and sent Baitao back to Taorui Palace to find her younger sister Jinxiu to pick it up.

The queen mother sent two eunuchs who knew martial arts to follow Baitao back to Taorui Palace to get the diamond necklace.

After taking the reassurance pill, the Empress Dowager looked at Jiang Yuebai still full of inquiry,

"There is nothing special about this gem other than it looks good. Why is it so expensive?"

Yes, why are diamonds so expensive?
Even though Jiang Yuebai has lived for two lifetimes, he has never studied why the price of diamonds is so expensive.

But that doesn't stop her from making up.

　A friend came to Suzhou for a few days and then went back.

　　The worry of the rich woman is that she is not beautiful, and her husband is a rich man, so she can only keep having children. She has already given birth to three, and the family still asks her to continue to have more boys.

　　Then he has low self-esteem, is disliked by the rich father and husband for being incompetent, and can't do anything well.I have been pua since I was a child.

　　Everything else is fine.All kinds of luxury goods can be bought casually, and the world can be played casually.

　　My friend complained that a rich woman is in love, and I told my friend that it might be because a rich woman lacks nothing but love.Just like many people get love, they start chasing money.People always pursue what they can't get.
