After the birthday banquet, everything returned to calm. Originally, the old lady wanted to go back to Xiangyun Temple, but she suffered from the cold. Mu Qingyang did not agree to the old lady leaving despite being sick, so she had no choice but to stay in Mu Mansion temporarily.
Ms. Lin thought about putting off the matter of her shop for a while, maybe Mr. Mu would forget about it in a few days. In addition, Liu Yun was always a whim person and would forget what she said soon, so she really
I didn't take the store thing to heart.
Speaking of which, the Ji family gave Ji Mengxian a lot of dowry. In addition to the gold and silver jewelry and a lot of silver notes, there were also four shops, namely two jade shops, a pawn shop, and a fabric shop.
These four shops all have dedicated stewards. In the past, they would only send the account books to Mengxian throughout the year. She was too lazy to look at these things. She was not short of those dividends anyway. Later, when she passed away, these things were handed over to her.
When it came to Lin's hands, although she didn't care too much, she knew very well how much wealth she held in her hands.
The annual profits of these shops are very considerable, which is why Lin can so quickly secure her position as the leader of Mu Mansion. Her natal family is not rich, and all the money she uses to buy off her buyers comes from this.
Several shops, so when Mr. Mu and Liu Yun mentioned these, she was still thinking about how to save these shops.
But she didn't know that the next day Liuyun took Yuchen on a whim to take a look at the shops on the street. She originally wanted to get to know them first, so that she would have the capital to negotiate, but before she even entered the door, she heard someone
Yelling.
"Boss Ma, I beg you, I really need one hundred taels of silver. This jade pendant is inherited from our family, and it will definitely cost more than fifty taels of silver." A boy of twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a dress full of
With his patched old blue shirt and his face covered in dust, he looked like a little beggar.
"I told you, this jade pendant is worth fifty taels of silver. If you want to take it, take it. If you don't, just leave. Don't stand here and block our business in Ruyifang." A man in his thirties waved his hand as if
She was very impatient and glared at him and continued, "It's useless to beg me again. When we open the door to do business, we follow the rules. Do you think you can just kneel down and kowtow a few times and I will return it to you?"
I'm telling you, it's wishful thinking."
The young man gritted his teeth, knelt down on the ground, grabbed Boss Ma's sleeves and begged, "Please, just give me one hundred taels of silver."
If he had not been desperate, he would not have pawned his personal jade pendant. This jade pendant was very important to him. It was given to him when his mother passed away. However, seeing that his grandmother was seriously ill, the doctor wanted so much money.
Only then was he willing to go to the clinic. He really had no choice but to think of pawning the jade pendant first.
"Okay, die for it, one hundred taels." Boss Ma's eyes flashed and he looked at the young man condescendingly, "If you are willing, I can give you the money now."
"Death?" The young man suddenly retracted his hand, clenched the jade pendant in his hand, and stared at the jade pendant with his eyes as if bleeding, "No, die...how can it be...can't do it."
This is his family heirloom and his hope. Without this jade pendant, he really has nothing.
However, now he could only save his grandmother if he became a jade pendant. He held the jade pendant tightly in his hand, and finally stretched out his hand tremblingly. The green jade pendant had a halo of light, which was really beautiful.
"Wouldn't it be better if I agreed earlier? It's a waste of time." As he spoke, Boss Ma had already reached out to pick up the jade pendant, feeling happy in his heart.
This jade pendant was worth three hundred taels at least, but now it was pawned for one hundred taels. Boss Ma was delighted, thinking that he could get at least half of the silver from it, and he felt happy in his heart.
However, the cooked duck was suddenly snatched away midway.
"Who are you? Why are you robbing me of my jade pendant?" Boss Ma faced the visitor angrily, his eyes fixed on the jade pendant that had been robbed by someone else.
"I just want to take a look and see what kind of jade pendant is actually worth one hundred taels of silver." The girl who spoke chuckled, raised the jade pendant in her hand and walked towards the bright place, while sighing, "The jade surface is shiny,
The lines are clear, crystal clear, and glowing. It is indeed a good jade pendant."
"Give me back the jade pendant." Boss Ma said and was about to come forward to grab it. The woman turned slightly to one side, and the young man behind her flashed. With what seemed like a slight push, Boss Ma was pushed far away.
, fell heavily on the chair.
"This jade pendant is not yours, why are you so nervous?" The woman snorted, then turned around and looked at the boy who was still kneeling on the ground, "I will buy you this jade pendant for three hundred taels."
Hearing what she said, Boss Ma's eyes widened and he jumped up suddenly, "What did you say? This jade pendant is obviously for our Ruyifang. When doing business, there must be a first-come, first-served basis, right? What's wrong with you little girl?
So arrogant.”
"You also said that this was a business deal? You said that he gave the jade pendant to you Ruyifang. So, do you have a receipt? If it is not written down in black and white, how can the transaction be considered successful? In this case, why can't I buy it?
His jade pendant?" After the woman said this, she took out a three hundred tael silver note from her sleeve and handed it to the boy, "I guess you are in a hurry to use the money. I bought this jade pendant first. If you have the ability, come back later.
Come to me to redeem it."
"Thank you, Miss, for your kindness." The young man kowtowed violently, but his eyes were always fixed on the jade pendant in the woman's hand. He immediately gritted his teeth, got up ruthlessly and left Ruyifang.
However, the young man was able to leave safely, but the woman in front of him may not be able to leave safely.
Of course, she didn't want to leave so quickly at all, because she was deliberately looking for trouble, but she didn't expect that trouble found her instead.
She is naturally Liuyun, and the young man beside her is undoubtedly Yuchen.
"Hmph, little girl, I advise you to hand over the jade pendant obediently, otherwise you may not be able to step out of this Ruyi Square today." At some point, four thugs followed behind Boss Ma, and they followed them step by step to Liuyun.
in front of.
"So this is the style of Ruyifang. You are so bully. Do you still want to snatch things in broad daylight?" Liu Yun was not afraid at all. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the man in front of him with a smile. "Are you afraid?
Don’t you know? Bi-colored jade is the most common, but it is rare to find one that is flawless and completely transparent. And the jade pendant’s jade color has a faint halo under the light. At first glance, it is only found in Nanming.
Bu Yu, nowadays it is almost impossible to find Bu Yu in the market. Even if it does appear, most people don’t recognize it. People like you think it is just a few hundred taels."
Having said this, the man's face was already very ugly, and a fierce look flashed in the depths of his eyes. Although he could not see how valuable this jade pendant was, he knew very well how valuable the jade pendant was. If he was really taken by this
The little girl is right, so this jade pendant is probably worth more than a thousand pieces of gold.
"What, is it possible that you still want to snatch it back?" Liu Yun chuckled and played with the jade pendant in his hand, "Boss Ma still wants me to go back and promote your Ruyifang. Not only does he blackmail people, but he also robs things in broad daylight.
I expect no one will dare to come to your Ruyifang in the future."
This is of course impossible. The public security in Linyang City has always been good, and robberies on the street rarely happen. Ruyifang is an old store that relies on this golden sign, so how could it do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself.
But it was absolutely impossible to let such a piece of divination jade worth thousands of gold slip away under his nose.
"Boss Ma, I have nothing else to do. I will take my leave." As he spoke, Liu Yun had already turned around and walked away, so he did not notice the coldness and fierceness flashing in Boss Ma's eyes.
