After Princess Xuanxue came down from the mountain, the whole capital was in chaos.

Chapter 42 Broken bones

When Yuan Qi left Xiangli Mansion, Xiangli Youming had to send her off.

"Okay, but I'm going to buy something today, will you go with me?"

Xiang Li Youming lowered his eyes and thought, shopping is a woman's business, so it might not be a good idea for him to go. However, he has never bought anything since he was a child, so it would be nice to experience it.

He hummed: "What do you want to buy? There are many properties in Xiangli's family. There is always something you want to buy."

Yuan Qi was not very happy. Is he trying to bring business to his family? Don’t the wealth flow to outsiders?

She curled her lips and was unhappy.

Xiangli Youming didn't know what he said wrong, and felt that it was really difficult to guess a woman's thoughts.

Yuan Qi snorted and got on his carriage with a pout.

"I want to buy Kunlun jade, please take me to a jewelry store." In fact, she was not very familiar with the shops in Kyoto. The ones she visited most were shops selling yellow paper and cinnabar, and she really didn't know anything else.

Xiangli Youming has outstanding qualifications and was cultivated as an heir. Although he rarely goes to his own shop, it does not mean that he does not know what kind of shops his family has.

He thought of a name: "Let's go to Phoenix Tower. I remember Phoenix Tower sells jade and jewelry."

The Phoenix Tower is one of the best jewelry and jade buildings, with five floors in total. There is a sculptured statue of a phoenix spreading its wings outside the top floor. It is lifelike and is an iconic landmark building that can be seen from afar.

When the two children entered the store, the waiters in the store wanted to drive them out, but when they saw the jade pendant on Xiang Li Youming's waist, no one dared to have such thoughts.

A waiter informed the shopkeeper.

A middle-aged man ran out and said very attentively: "Hello, Mr. Jiu, are you here to check the accounts this time? Isn't it too early to check the accounts before the end of the month?"

Xiangli Youming naturally knew that he didn't like to get entangled with others, so he asked directly: "Is there any Kunlun jade?"

The middle-aged man is the shopkeeper of Fenghuang Tower, his name is Fu Yan. Fu Yan was stunned and said: "Kunlun Jade, yes, Xiaojiu, please come upstairs."

Xiangli Youming gave a faint hum, took Fu Yan's hand, and pulled it.

Fu Yan's expression changed slightly. Did Xiao Jiuye want to apologize for his death?

When Yuan Qi went upstairs, he paid attention to the layout of Phoenix Tower, which was in line with Feng Shui.

Kunlun jade is a kind of jade. Because it is produced in Kunlun Mountain, it is called Kunlun jade. Kunlun jade has a unique aura. Its mineral reserves are small and difficult to mine, so it is expensive. However, it is indeed the best choice for making jade charms.

Fu Yan saw that Yuan Qi was wearing a pomegranate red skirt and only had a jade hairpin on her head. He had handled countless jade articles. He could tell at a glance that the jade hairpin on Yuan Qi's head was not extraordinary. Moreover, although the girl's dress was not gorgeous, her appearance was... Very stunning.

Could it be that Xiao Jiuye liked the person and asked him to give him a discount?

"This Kunlun jade is expensive because of its rarity..." Fu Yan turned on his chatterbox mode and habitually introduced the products for sale.

Xiangli Youming coughed lightly, and Fu Yan immediately understood what the other party meant and patted his mouth: "It's not very expensive..."

Kunlun Jade is placed on the fifth floor. Very few guests set foot here. There is only one reason. The things here are not ordinary expensive.

"I want the original stone." Yuan Qi suddenly said, she could feel the unique aura of Kunlun Jade.

"What are you going to use the little girl for? How big is it? I'll pick one of the right size for you." Fu Yan felt bitter in his heart. Even if it's a 10% discount, does this little girl have so much money? Could it be that Xiao Jiuye wanted to give it away for free? How can I explain it to the owner of the family?

Yuan Qi felt that the question was not excessive, so he answered truthfully: "I want to make eight jade talismans."

She gestured with the size, and Fu Yan immediately understood: "Wait a moment, little objective person." He turned around and went to the counter, looked at a large row of stones for a while, and picked out a half-foot-square rough stone. A small piece of the original stone was cut off to reveal the green inside. He moved it over carefully: "Can this piece be okay?"

His heart was bleeding. Kunlun jade was already expensive. For such a big piece, how much would the owner have to pay?

I hope this little girl thinks it's too big, or can't afford it... Forget it, if she really can't afford it, Xiao Jiuye will probably have to ask him to give in to the price.

Yuan Qi knew jade, so she stood on tiptoe and picked at it: "That's it. Cut it according to the size I told you. I'll take as many pieces as you can get."

She estimated that she could make about ten yuan, and the remaining leftover materials should not be wasted. She could make some pendants, amulets, etc., and sell them for a lot of money.

Fu Yan was smiling all over his face, but he was about to cry inside: "Little girl, this rough stone costs one hundred thousand taels of silver, and the processing cost is another ten thousand taels. Little girl, should the adults in the family pay for it?"

"No, I have money." Yuan Qi took out the small box that Xianglimu gave him just now and pushed it gently. "You count how much is in it. If there is not enough, I will get it for you."

The first time Fu Yan met a little girl who bought such an expensive thing, he felt unsure, fearing that if she sold it, an adult would come back to return it.

“Little girl, it’s best to let the adults at home buy such expensive things~”

Xiangli Youming became irritated when he heard this: "This is the money she earned by herself. There is no need to let the adults in the family know. Please hurry up. What are you talking about?"

Fu Yan knew that Xiangli Youming was famous for his bad temper and often killed people, so he immediately did not dare to be nagging anymore and quickly called a waiter next to him to give instructions.

Then he opened the small box and counted the money.

"Little girl, the total is 80,000 taels, and there is still 30,000 taels left." His heart was bleeding. It's a shame. Kunlun jade has never been bought like this. At most, rich people sell it as a bracelet. For a bracelet or a hosta, it costs thirty to forty thousand taels.

For such a big piece, I would usually buy at least one million taels. Xiao Jiuye, you are trying to kill me. How will you explain it to your boss later?

No, he still had to inform the head of the family: "Xiao Jiuye, Xiao Shijian, you collect the money first, and I will go to the back and give instructions not to cut it."

"Um..." Yuan Qi was wondering if she had enough banknotes in her bag. She didn't have time to pay attention to Fu Yan, so she lowered her head and rummaged through the bag seriously.

In a short time, he took out several piles of banknotes, all of which were one hundred taels each.

"Let me help you count." Xiangli Youming volunteered.

The two of them counted each other, and found that the pile of banknotes was more than 30,000 taels.

Yuan Qi smiled with satisfaction: "I just said it's almost enough. It's enough."

Xiangli Youming was also pleased: "Even if it's not enough, I will help you get enough."

It didn't take long for Fu Yan to come back from behind.

Yuan Qi said with a smile: "The shopkeeper's kindness will definitely be rewarded in the future." She knew the market price of Kunlun jade very well. They broke their bones and sold it to her, so she couldn't be ungrateful.

She took out a peace charm made of jade from the cloth bag and handed it to Fu Yan with both hands: "This is for you. It can dispel evil spirits and ward off disasters."

Fu Yan was a little confused. He didn't want it, but Xiao Jiuye's eyes could kill people, so he took it with both hands. He saw a stream of light flashing past, and the runes on it lit up and then went out.

He knew this was no ordinary product.
