Chapter 100: Lingxi Painting

Views:

On this day, all the jewelry ordered by the eldest lady at the Silver House was delivered to the house. She invited several girls to choose from it. Su Ningxin put on a veil and went to the flower hall where guests were entertained.

She didn't care about these jewelry. Although she liked money, she only liked simple money. She didn't care about the style of jewelry, so she just asked the third lady to help her choose, while she sat aside and played with the tea bowl. Son.

He looked at the little girl standing not far away from him with an empty tray in his hand. She must have followed the steward of the bank to deliver jewelry. All the jewelry in her tray had been picked out, so she stood with the tray in her hand. Next to it.

Su Ningxin waved her hand to come closer, then pointed to the lady in charge who was talking to the lady over there, smiled and asked, "Is that your mother?"

The little girl looked at Su Ningxin with wide eyes and doubts, "How did the girl know?"

Su Ningxin clicked her knuckles like a fortune teller, "I figured it out."

After listening to Su Ningxin's words, the little girl immediately showed admiration and looked at her with bright eyes.

In fact, Su Ning figured it out in her mind. She saw that this little girl was better dressed than others, and the tray she was carrying was full of exquisite jewelry. The lady in charge must have given it to her on purpose, so that she didn't have to carry the tray too much. For a long time, I guessed that the lady in charge must be her relative.

The little girl looked around cautiously and saw that everyone was picking out jewelry and no one noticed them, so she moved closer to Su Ning and whispered, "Sister Fairy, can you help me figure out what my father has collected?" When will that piece of jade be sold?"

"Selling things also depends on fate. How can you easily calculate it? Why don't you tell me what kind of jade it is, and I can try to figure it out." Su Ningxin was bored, so she teased the child.

After deliberately letting the eldest lady listen to those words last time, she really took it in. Recently, he came to her whenever he had an excuse, which made Marquis Xuanning, who knew Su Ningxin's identity, jump with anxiety, but he also I dare not tell the eldest lady directly.

Originally, Su Ningxin was not willing to run around, but she was really not a quiet person, and she really couldn't stand being in the yard for so long. Later, she didn't refuse the eldest lady's invitation and went for a walk.

At this time, the little girl frowned and thought for a while, and began to describe the appearance of the jade, "That piece of jade was collected by my father from the countryside. It is a very beautiful piece of jade. When you put it under the light, you can see the white jade inside. The red one was bought by my father from the countryside. My father bought it at a high price because it was of good jade quality and there might be a ruby inside."

The more Su Ningxin listened, the deeper her frown deepened, but the little girl continued to say,

"But when I got it, the master craftsman of the Yinlou said that my father had been deceived. The inside was either ruby or stone. Because it couldn't be carved, even the white jade outside was worthless. The shopkeeper said that if the jade was placed in the shop, If it can’t be sold in three months, my family will have to pay for it.”

"If it weren't for the fact that my mother has been working in the silver house for more than ten years, the shopkeeper would have kicked us out. It has been two months now. Sister Shenxian, please help me calculate, when will the jade be available? Sell it?" The little girl looked at Su Ningxin with hope and asked.

Su Ningxin smiled and pretended to calculate with her fingers, "Don't worry, a young master will definitely buy that piece of jade within three days."

The little girl showed an expression of surprise, "Really? That's great."

At this time, the lady and the lady over there who were picking out the jewelry had already finished picking out the jewelry. In the next period of time, there were still many managers coming to the silver house and silk and satin shop, who wanted to collect the dowries of seven legitimate daughters and concubines in such a short few months. It’s not easy to get everything ready.

The lady in charge called the little girl, and the little girl quickly went over to stand with the others, bowed to the people in the room, and then left. Before going out, the little girl looked back at Su Ningxin, and Su Ning felt relieved. He nodded to reassure her.

Seeing Su Ningxin nodding, the little girl turned around happily and skipped away. She just turned around and gave her mother a slap in the face, telling her not to be rude in the official's house.

After the people from Yinlou left, the remaining ladies and girls began to chat about household matters. Su Ningxin did not chat with them, but lowered her eyes and thought about her own matters.

Listening to the little girl's description, a jade pendant immediately appeared in Su Ningxin's mind. It was also a piece of white jade with a red core wrapped inside, and the surface was engraved with a worry-free flower pattern. It was called a Lingxi painted cup.

This jade pendant also has a great background. It was worn by the queen before. Later, Su Ningxin and the queen got closer and knew each other's identity as a time traveler. The queen told Su Ningxin that she had traveled through time with Su Ningxin. The soul is different from passing through the fetus. It passes through the wardrobe at home and reaches ancient times.

What surprised Su Ningxin even more was that the queen's time travel was not just a matter of being transmitted, but she could actually travel back through time as long as she wore a jade pendant. In the early days, she relied on this ability to do business.

Later, the fifth prince, who is now the emperor, was seriously injured. The queen smashed the jade pendant and ground the red stone inside into powder to make a medicine to save the emperor. Without the jade pendant, she could never return to modern times.

Listening to the description of the little girl just now, Su Ningxin always felt that the piece of jade was very similar to the jade pendant mentioned by the queen, so she planned to go to the silver shop to have a look, and buy it first to see whether it was true or not, just in case it was She really made a profit. It would be great if she could return to modern times.

Before leaving the eldest lady's courtyard, Su Ningxin specifically asked which silver house was delivering the jewelry today, and then began to think about sneaking out of the mansion. The courtyard of the Hou Mansion was larger than that of Xingyuan Mansion, and the guards were tighter, and this time Her yard doesn't lean against an exterior wall, so it's more troublesome to get out.

The next day, Su Ningxin was wearing a fur cloak and walking on the bustling streets of the capital with a candied haws in her hand. She was followed by Shuangbai, who had changed her disguise, and Shen Zhao, whom she met when climbing over the wall.

You have to be careful when entering and exiting the Hou Mansion, so Su Ningxin and Shuang Bai took advantage of the day when they were most sleepy to climb over the wall and leave the house. As a result, they almost collided with Shen Zhao who came over from the other side. Although There was no collision, but the Adam's apple stuck to his neck was knocked off by Shen Zhao while dodging, and his identity was revealed by him.

In order to avoid being discovered by the guards, Su Ningxin could only drag him out of the house first. During the process, Shen Zhao kept asking her if she was Shen Qing. Naturally, Su Ningxin would not admit it, and Shen Zhao followed her.

Su Ningxin also couldn't figure out what he was obsessed with for a sister who was not close to Uncle Taiping and had a bad relationship with him. If he was allowed to follow, Su Ningxin would soon be able to ignore him and do her own thing.

After all, she has lived in the capital for two lifetimes. Su Ningxin is still very familiar with this place. She easily found the Jinyi Silver Building that the eldest lady mentioned without asking for directions. She looked at the little girl she saw yesterday standing there. At the door, Su Ningxin made sure that she had found the right place.
