Crazy favorite concubine

Chapter 4 Selling the bride price
These words made Yun Zhihua and the concubine's mouths twitch together, their hearts really hurt, but they still didn't dare to look up at Yun Chuyue, and they didn't even dare to express their objections.

Yunxiu looked at her young lady with incomparable admiration, then turned around and cast a sneaky look at the people who bowed their heads and said nothing with her big moist eyes, and then began to count the betrothal gifts very carefully.

Although Yun Chuyue was law-abiding in her previous life, under the influence of her family, she was definitely a standard "good" profiteer. If they sent things to her in such a short period of time, she would definitely make mistakes in a hurry. Yes, unless they want to continue to learn their "skills".

When Yunxiu finished counting, she looked at Yun Chuyue with eyes of worshiping a goddess, and Yun Zhihua and the concubine naturally interpreted that look as "Sure enough, there is only a lot."

Yunxiu respectfully handed the list to Yun Chuyue, and the original betrothal gifts were outlined one by one on the list, and it seemed that nothing was missing.What is recorded on the second piece of paper is the extra stuff.

Yun Chuyue's beautiful eyes lightly glanced over, there are golden phoenix hairpins, tourmaline beads, glass earrings, ruby ​​necklaces... There are about 20 items that are not on the list, and although each of them cannot be compared with Yunlong Kingdom's betrothal gift, it is still considered a gift. They are extremely precious things, and there are two of them that were given to the prime minister's mansion by the palace before, and the prime minister gave them to the eldest lady, so they are naturally more precious.

Now, these things are all cheap, Yun Chuyue really can't afford to steal chickens and eat rice, lighting a lamp and boiling oil to make wedding dresses for others.

Yun Chuyue glanced up at the crowd who were still bowing their heads, and said in a cool voice, "Okay, you've all been busy all morning today, so go back and just put your things here."

When everyone heard this, including the butler, they all bowed, turned around and hurried out, but they seemed to be running at a trot, as if a flood of beasts were chasing after them. There was even a little maid who tripped over her skirt while panicking. Seeing this, the people behind hurriedly helped her up and ran towards the courtyard gate, fearing that Yun Chuyue would regret it if she was a step too late.

In an instant, only Yun Chuyue and Yunxiu were left in the small courtyard that was too crowded just now.

Yun Chuyue's eyes were still clear, she glanced lightly at the ten large boxes on the ground, and the six trays beside them, and said to Yunxiu, "Ask the housekeeper to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

In the past, before the second wife passed away, Yun Chuyue was proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but since the second wife passed away, coupled with the difficulties of the eldest wife and concubine, she was not allowed to read books and play the piano, even pen, ink, paper and inkstone. She never touched her again, so she was said to be an idiot who didn't know a single word, otherwise, where would the number one talented girl go to Yun Zhihua?

Hearing that the young lady was going to write again, Yunxiu was overjoyed, and happily went to the housekeeper.

After a while, Yunxiu came back with a small stack of rice paper, inkstone box, and writing brush, and put the things neatly on the stone table to sharpen the inkstone for Yun Chuyue.

After Yunxiu finished grinding, she gently rolled up her cuffs with her plain hands, revealing a small section of her slender arms that were as white as fat. She picked up a pen in her frail and boneless hands, and began to copy the list of betrothal gifts on rice paper. Go up, follow the clouds and flow, and copy it in a while.

Blowing the written paper twice, gently folded it in half and handed it to Yunxiu, saying: "Go out through the back door quickly, don't be discovered by others, and take this form to a larger and more reputable company closest to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Pawn shop, let the boss come to me to negotiate the price in person, go and come back quickly, and don’t be found when you come back, do you understand?"

Yunxiu didn't know what Yun Chuyue was going to do, but through what happened today, she could roughly figure out Yun Chuyue's temper after waking up, so she didn't ask any further questions, nodded, put the paper in her arms and put it away. Alright, quietly slipped out from the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Since Yun Chuyue's small courtyard was a relatively remote location in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was only thirty steps away from the courtyard, so no one noticed when he went out like this.Yun Chuyue put the original list in her sleeve, sat down to drink tea, and waited for Yunxiu to bring someone back.

Yunxiu is also a clever girl, she walked with her head down all the way, and looked up from time to time to see if there were any acquaintances, now it was lunch time, so there were not many people on the street.

Turning all the way to a pawn shop that met Yun Chuyue's requirements, there were five big characters written vertically and horizontally on the big golden plaque above the door: Yunfeng Pawn Shop.Yunxiu glanced around and walked in when no one was paying attention to her.

Entering the front hall, on the left are two private rooms for on-the-spot appraisal and price negotiation, and on the right is an artificial fish pond with a square meter of two square meters. A rockery is placed against the wall, connected to the pool, and several red koi are playing leisurely. Among the two or three lotus leaves, it is very pleasing to the eye.

Yunxiu didn't care about admiring it, and asked the guy behind the counter who was eating: "Is your boss here? I have something important to show him."

The young man was wearing a black mandarin jacket and a black felt hat. He was not white like a man, and he wore a pair of round-rimmed gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He glanced at Yunxiu through the lens, and it was obvious that she was dressed like a man. The servant of the wealthy family said with a lack of interest: "The boss is not here, do you have anything to do with him?" The seemingly respectful words were filled with impatience.

Yunxiu knew that this young man was a lowly servant, so she casually mentioned two names she remembered from the betrothal gift list. When the young man heard "Kirin Glass Carving", he almost choked on the food Shi, quickly drank two sips of water, stared at Yunxiu with small eyes, "You, you, do you?" It seemed surprised, and there was a look of uncertainty in his eyes.

Yunxiu knew that she had made the right bet, and snorted coldly at the boy: "Tell your boss to come out, otherwise I will go to someone else's house, and it's not just your pawn shop." After saying that, she turned around and really wanted to go out.

The young man hurriedly put down his rice bowl and chopsticks and respectfully said to Yunxiu: "Don't, don't, the girl has something to say, and besides, you should know the reputation of our store. Looking at the whole Fenglan City, how many of us are like this?" It’s a big shop with such a good reputation and such a reasonable price, don’t you think so?” After speaking, he bent flatteringly and led Yunxiu into the private room.

"Hurry up and call your boss." Yunxiu gave the boy an angry look.

The little guy hurriedly nodded and bowed and said, "Yes, yes, go right away, don't leave, I'll go get the boss right away." The little guy stabilized Yunxiu, and ran to the back hall.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a dark green robe led out from behind the boy. He was in his 40s, and he also wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His eyes were larger than the boy's, and he was shrewd and calm.

Yunxiu knew at a glance that this man should be the owner of the Yunfeng Pawnshop, but then she thought about the surprised look of the young man when he heard the unicorn glazed carving just now, and thought about it: Miss doesn't want this to be seen by others. She found out that there must be a reason for her. Just after hearing the name of this unicorn glass carving, the owner of the most famous Yunfeng Pawn Shop in the imperial city came out to greet her in person. It seems that this object must be a rare treasure. Miss Ruo If you want to pawn this treasure and exchange it for silver, if the boss has a bad tongue, others will definitely know that it is an item in the dowry gift, and it will bring disaster to the lady. No, you can’t give him the list of dowry gifts directly. Word of mouth will do.
