Dingyang Street is the most prosperous street in Beijing, with many shops and pedestrians. There are the most famous jewelry shops and powder shops in Beijing—Cuiyuxuan and Baihuazhuang.
These two stores have been open on Dingyang Street for hundreds of years, and their business has been prosperous for a long time.
Xie's carriage stopped at the entrance of Cuiyuxuan, Xie Yunqing got off the sedan chair, let the groom wait at the entrance, and walked in with Qingluo and Forsythia.
She was a frequent visitor to Cui Yuxuan, and when she entered, a woman in pink shirt with a beautiful face came to entertain her.
On the first floor of Cuiyuxuan are some cheap hairpins, bracelets and other jewellery. The real exquisite jewels are on the second and third floors. Xie Yunqing always likes to choose accessories on the second and third floors.
"There are some new items in our store, they are all fashionable styles, Xie girl, would you like to come and have a look with me?" said the pink shirt girl who hosted Xie Yunqing.
Xie Yunqing said: "Okay."
The pink-shirted girl led her to the second floor, and walked through three or four showcases. There was a Duobaoli standing against the inside, on which was displayed a variety of gorgeous heads, including pearl heads, beaded jade heads, and gem heads.
Xie Yunqing pointed to a pair of pink pearls and said, "Take that one to me."
The waiter did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly took off the pink pearl head. Xie Yunqing only glanced twice, then said: "Wrap it up for me and send it to Xie's mansion."
She didn't ask about the price, and the waiter and the accompanying maid in pink shirt were both happy. Xie Yunqing has always been generous, and she is not short of money, nor does she like bargaining when buying things. People at Cui Yuxuan like to receive Xie Yunqing.
Xie Yunqing turned two more times. The maid in pink shirt introduced her jewelry enthusiastically. Xie Yunqing picked out a few hairpins and a pair of small silver bracelets before saying to the maid: "Go to the third floor."
The layout of the third floor is obviously different from that of the first floor and the second floor. Famous calligraphies are hung on the walls, colorful embroidered blankets are spread on the ground, and the fragrance of orchids is faintly floating in the air.
Xie Yunqing casually looked over one display case after another, and finally walked to a corner where only an ordinary square wooden box was placed in Duobao, which was not as big as a palm.
However, that wooden box was out of tune with the atmosphere of the entire hall.
Xie Yunqing also found out before, but just asked the waiter casually, and the waiter said in a casual way, "Our boss said, the things in that wooden box have to wait for someone who is predestined to come. If that person does not come, someone will not sell it for ten thousand dollars."
Some people were curious and wanted to buy the wooden box at a high price, but the waiter at Cui Yuxuan always greeted people with a smile, but insisted not to sell the box.
Xie Yunqing walked over and looked at the gray box. There was no mood swing in his jet-black eyes, and his voice was as calm as the surface of a lake in calm waters: "I want that box. You told your boss. Take a look. Can he accept the terms I made?" After speaking, Xie Yunqing took out a letter from his purse.
The maid in Fenshan was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "I will tell the boss. When the boss answers, we will send someone to the house to tell you."
Xie Yunqing nodded, went to the first floor to settle the accounts, got on the sedan chair, and said to the groom: "Don't rush back, go to Ruyifang."
It is rare that Xiu Mu had time to come out, and Xie Yunqing picked out jewellery for Gu Yunshuang and his two sisters-in-laws. Naturally, the little niece would just send it away with snacks.
I packed a few dim sum from Ruyifang, Xie Yunqing went again
The teahouse drank a few cups of tea, listened to the play, and went back to Xie's house.
After two consecutive days, Xie Yunqing began to study in Donglin Academy again after Xie Mu.
After lunch, Xie Yunqing was sitting under the promenade outside the classroom and reading. A young man in grey clothes walked up to Xie Yunqing and said respectfully, "Miss Xie, my master invites you to come over and speak."
Xie Yunqing closed the book and handed it to Qingluo, and then said to Qingluo: "You wait for me here, and I will return when I go."
Qingluo was a little worried, so she said, "Miss, you should pay attention to your safety alone."
Xie Yunqing smiled and said, "I'm not without vigilance. Besides, in this college, are you afraid of any danger?"
She followed the little girl in grey clothes through the promenade, around the winding rockery, and along the long trestle bridge built on the lake. There were flowers and trees all around, and the vines covered the sight. Arrived at the deepest pavilion.
One person in the pavilion was already waiting there. The bright red dress was better than the fire, but it didn't make people feel that it was inappropriate. It seemed that such a strong red could only be worn on him. His slender fingers were playing with a glass lamp, with a relaxed mind. The man turned his head and looked at Xie Yunqing, with a smile on his handsome face, his eyes waved, and the smile was enough to turn all sentient beings upside down.
If an ordinary girl sees it, I am afraid that her mind will be taken away.
It is said that confidant beauty is a disaster. Although Xiao Xuan, the little prince of Yu, is not a confidant, he also has a reputation as a disaster.
Xie Yunqing sighed in his heart. On the steps, she had to look at Xiao Xuan in the pavilion. It was clear that she was looking up at Xiao Xuan, but it made Xiao Xuan feel that the girl was standing at the same height as him.
The grey-clothed young man retired, Xie Yunqing went straight into the pavilion, sat down opposite Xiao Xuan, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank two or three sips before slowly saying, "I didn't expect that the little prince would ask me. Meet in the academy. I should have thought that so many shops in Beijing are the property of the Royal Palace of Henan, so it is not surprising that this Donglin Academy is your property."
Everyone in the world guessed that Cui Yuxuan's owner must have a very hard backstage, but they didn't know that the owner behind Donglin Academy was also Xiao Xuan.
There are large and small shops in Beijing. It was only when Xie Yunqing became a queen in the previous life that many shops such as Cuiyuxuan, Jinxiufang, Ruyifang, Baihuazhuang, etc. were all owned by the Royal Palace of Yu. These shops were the dowry of Xiao Xuan's mother. After Xiao Xuan's mother died, these shops were left to Xiao Tan. Xiao Tan was taken care of by Xiao Xuan when he was still young.
In the previous life, there was an epidemic in Luzhou, which caused more than 10,000 casualties. It was Xiao Xuan who donated silver to purchase medicinal materials to treat diseases of the people of Luzhou. He also set up a porridge house in Luzhou to provide food to the people of Luzhou free of charge.
Xiao Xuan's kind deeds undoubtedly gained him a great reputation, and he was deeply loved among the people. Even in the court hall, the ministers also praised Xiao Xuan's Gao Fengliangjie.
But his act of righteousness pierced Xiao Yu's eyes, Xiao Yu inherited his father's suspicion and suspicion, and has been speculating whether Xiao Yu has ulterior motives, and directly sent a dark guard to investigate Xiao Xuan's old bottom. After checking, it was found that so many industries in Beijing belonged to Xiao Xuan, and Xiao Yu was jealous. Xiao Xuan's later fate was Xiao Yu's handwriting.
Xiao Xuan smiled triumphantly and didn't mean to be self-effacing, "These are all trivialities, this little prince is naturally smart and capable, and these are nothing to me."
Xie Yunqing had never seen such a thick-skinned person, so she calmed down a bit, lest she would be stimulated by Xiao Xuan's shameless words. She silently said for a while: "I am very interested in the items in the small box furnished by Cui Yuxuan. I don't know if the conditions I have offered are enough to impress the little prince and let the little prince agree to exchange.
Xiao Xuan raised his eyebrows, "You are not afraid that the contents of the box may be ordinary pearls, just to attract people's attention? Or this Xiao Wang went wrong and changed the contents?"
Xie Yunqing put down the glass cup in his hand and smiled, "Little Prince is so unconfident in his character?"
Xiao Xuan said: "This Xiao Wang is not kind, I'm afraid you believe too much that strangers will be deceived."
"This is not a jail. The little prince is bothered. The little prince is a student of my grandfather. I naturally believe in my grandfather's ability to teach and educate people. He will not teach any liar, at most he can only teach one or two thick-skinned people. people."
Gu Pingzhang is a noble and strict person, and has always held a teaching attitude of precepts and deeds. It can be said that Feng Yan's temperament is another Gu Pingzhang. I just don't know why this Xiao Xuan didn't learn the solemnity and coldness of his grandfather at all, and was unsmiling. Instead, he was so narcissistic that people gritted his teeth.
Xiao Xuan: "..." Thick-skinned? Are you talking about him
Xie Yunqing saw Xiao Xuan's somewhat stiff expression and some pleasure in revenge. She gave a clear cough and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, I will make my own terms."
Xiao Xuan looked like he was listening, but he didn't believe that this little girl had any bargaining chips in his hands. He has been paying attention to Xie Mansion these days, and naturally knows what happened in Xie Mansion recently. He could expect that Xie Yong's resignation and the right to hand over soldiers were all small actions by Xie Yunqing behind his back. As for the rumors and rumors of the Cheng family sisters, it is probably Xie Yunqing's handwriting to fight back.
He knew that this little girl was very clever and agile, and he also admired this little girl. After all, she was the first girl he had ever seen in her life, but she had been raised in a deep boudoir and only met him a few times. What can you take out to impress him
When Xie Yunqing saw Xiao Xuan's expression, he knew that Xiao Xuan was a little bit dissatisfied, or even didn't believe her at all.
Xie Yunqing drank another cup of tea, and Hui Wei smiled: "Little Prince doesn't seem to be curious about what conditions I can offer. It's better than Little Prince guessing. If I can sit in front of you with peace of mind, what kind of conditions can I give Little Prince?"
Xiao Xuan was aroused by curiosity, "Could it be that you want to exchange my things on the condition that you marry me?" After speaking, he touched his chin again, thinking, "This way you would sacrifice too much. ? No, my sacrifice is too great."
Xie Yun glanced innocently. This person was not serious when speaking. She even wondered if the person who had been eavesdropping in the rockery before was Xiao Xuan.
"Little prince, I have no obsession with marrying you. There are more girls in the capital who want to marry you, and many people are willing to marry me. You don’t need to be nervous, I won’t bother you. ."
Xie Yunqing's fingers squeezed the Liulizhan slightly, and the knuckles were a little whitish. Xie Yunqing finally said, "I know what the little prince has been looking for, and I also know where that thing is. Is this bargaining chip enough?"
