After Princess Jiaojiao was reborn, the little general’s crematorium

Chapter 70 The old man buying jade

When the two of them arrived at the jade shop, the previous depression was wiped away and replaced by a bustling atmosphere. If they hadn't just passed through the slums earlier, they would have thought it was a prosperous era.

A jade shop, to be precise, is a jade workshop. After all, there can't be only one selling jade.

And those who can consume here are at least the merchant class who enjoy assets. The sounds of hawking and bargaining are endless, making it look like a bustling and bustling market...

Yes, despite the war raging outside and the people being displaced, what does this have to do with them?

Helian Wenyu obviously didn't come to solve this profound political issue. She just came to find the truth, so she didn't stop and went straight to a jade shop.

Although there are many stores selling jade here, there is only one store with the best and highest quality jade.

Of course, the quality of the jade in this store is also directly proportional to the price, which is even several times higher than the price in the store next to it.

Even so, the store was bustling and crowded with people.

With the help of her status as the eldest princess, she met the shopkeeper smoothly.

"I am the shopkeeper here, Li Xiaowu." Li Xiaoer bowed with dignity, "Your Highness is here. What orders do you have?"

It is indeed the best jade shop in the capital, and the shopkeeper's clothes are also extremely luxurious. They are covered with many carefully crafted jade products. Even just a diamond ring on his finger is worth a lot of money.

"I would like to ask you whether anyone from the Chu Mansion came to the store to buy high-quality purple jade a while ago?" Helian Wenyu took out the purple phoenix jade hairpin and added, "It is made of the same material as this hairpin. The same jade."

"Hmm..." Li Xiaowu took a closer look and said, "Although the jade stones in our store are all of high quality, if we really want to subdivide them, the piece you have is definitely the best one."

"In addition, purple is relatively rare. About three months ago, a good piece of purple jade came in from the miner. The villain still remembers it deeply."

"The visitor's name has not been disclosed. He is an older middle-aged man. He is probably a servant of a certain house."

Li Xiaowu replied seriously.

Without the customer revealing their identity, the merchant cannot take the initiative to inquire. This is an unwritten rule in the business world.

When Helian Wenyu heard this, she stamped her feet angrily: "Then do you remember any details? About that person."

"Hmm...it seems there is indeed one," Li Xiaowu thought for a moment and said, "That gentleman must have been entrusted by someone to buy jade. As soon as he came in, he asked about the best jade here."

"At that time, the villain thought that this was a big customer, so he took out this purple jade stone and a blue crystal stone whose quality was second only to it. The other party fell in love with the former at first sight."

"But when I was paying, I found that the gold I brought was still a little short, so I went back to get the money again, and then the transaction was completed."

Helian Wenyu asked: "Then do you still remember how long it took him to withdraw the money?"

This place is closer to Chu Mansion, so the time to travel back and forth will definitely be shorter.

"There are too many trivial matters in the store, so I forgot about them in my busy schedule," Li Xiaowu replied apologetically, "But I should remember it for a long time, but after all, I am an elderly person, so it is understandable that I walk slower."

Helian Wenyu asked a few more questions, but the answers she got were also ambiguous.

In desperation, he had to leave the jade shop.

After this exchange, almost nothing was gained.

Chunhua glanced at the sky and said softly: "Your Highness, it's getting late. Let's go back to the palace early."

——She doesn’t dare to have another accident.

Although Helian Wenyu was willful most of the time, after all, she had encountered all kinds of things in just a few months, and she had somewhat lost her temper.

"Let's go back to the palace." Although Helian Wenyu was dissatisfied with the lack of gain from this trip, she didn't say anything. She just glanced at the jade shop again, then turned and left.

Chunhua quickly caught up and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the hosta——"

Helian Wenyu then remembered that she had forgotten to take the hosta when she asked Li Xiaowu to confirm it. Fortunately, Chunhua brought it out by the way.

"Tomorrow is the day when the emperor's brother takes the concubine, right?"

On the way, Helian Wenyu suddenly remembered this matter and asked.

Chunhua responded and said: "Yes."

It was the first time for Helian Wenyu to host such a feast, so she asked Chunhua, "Is there anything else that I haven't prepared?"

Chunhua thought for a while and said: "We don't have this for the time being. Since this is handled by His Highness himself and it is related to the emperor's important affairs, everyone in the court did not dare to make things difficult and they all cooperated actively."

Helian Wenyu didn't understand these twists and turns, but she understood that everything was going well now, her expression softened slightly, and she said, "That's good, don't make any mistakes, understand?"

Chunhua quickly responded: "Your Highness, don't worry, all the servants know this."

If nothing else goes wrong, the imperial brother's concubine selection banquet will be the grandest banquet in the hundreds of years since the founding of Xuefeng Kingdom.

For this reason, many guards have recently been recruited so that they can control the scene at the banquet.

With such a large number of people here, nothing can go wrong.

In addition, Helian Wenyu was relatively relieved about Chunhua's work, so she said "hmm" and said nothing more.

"By the way, Fu——" Helian Wenyu was about to ask something, but in the end she didn't ask.

Chunhua was very sensible and didn't ask further questions.

By the time the two returned to the eldest princess's mansion, it was already Xu Shi.

Before Helian Wenyu could relax, he saw the "gatekeeper" Fu Yanping at the door of his house.

Helian Wenyu didn't want to see him now, so she said to Chunhua, "Let's take the side door."

But as soon as Helian Wen Yu discovered Fu Yanping, Fu Yanping, a martial arts practitioner, had already seen Helian Wen Yu and Chun Hua first, and said loudly:

"I have met Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess. Your Highness is safe."

Seeing this, Chunhua returned her gaze to Helian Wenyu, as if she was asking Helian Wenyu if he wanted to go off the other side.

Helian Wenyu gritted her teeth angrily, stared at Fu Yanping, and said word by word: "I wonder what the purpose of Supervisor Fu's late-night visit to the eldest princess's mansion is?"

If looks could kill, Fu Yanping would have been killed countless times by Helian Wenyu's looks.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yanping acted like a man who had nothing to do, and still said with a playful smile: "Back to Your Highness, didn't I just find out that my family has been out of food recently, and I want to come to the princess's house to ask for soup and rice. Your Highness, the eldest princess, shouldn't mind, right?" "

Helian Wenyu: "Spring flowers, see off guests——"

Haha, the dignified general's palace will be short of food, who are you kidding?
  When Fu Yanping saw that Helian Wenyu was really coming, he quickly stopped smiling, coughed twice seriously, and said:

"Wait a minute, I really have something to say-"
