Chapter five hundred and eighteenth a very scheming gift
Yang Yuyao was not as surprised as Yang Zhao. She just covered her mouth and smiled and asked Li Siye: "You didn't bring any gifts today, why do you want me to ask for the Jiedu Envoy for you? Is this the Beiting Jiedu Envoy?
Cheap, is even my Yang family’s face so cheap?”
Li Siye cupped his hands and said, "Who said I didn't bring something? I really did."
Yang Zhao stretched his neck from the bed and looked at Li Siye in surprise. Yang Yuyao also sat up straight, squinting his eyes and looking straight down, as if he didn't hold anything in his hands at all.
Yang Yuyao smiled sweetly and stretched out her palm: "Okay, let me see what gadget it is that will allow me to agree to your request."
Yang Zhao quickly got off the bed, held the hem of his round collar robe and came behind Yang Yuyao. Covering her mouth with his right hand, he whispered in her ear: "No matter what he gives you later, cousin, please don't agree to it."
Don't let people think that our Yang family's path is easy."
Yang Yuyao smiled charmingly, neither agreeing nor rejecting. She bent her knees and opened her palms towards Li Siye: "Bring it here."
Li Siye stood up from the ground, but did not walk over. Instead, he faced Yang Zhao and raised his hands and said, "Does Mr. Yang have any position?"
Yang Zhao felt strange. Didn't you say you were giving a gift? How could you ask me this?
"I am currently a member of the Du branch, a foreign minister, and a serving censor."
Siye pretended to be suddenly enlightened and nodded: "Yang Yushi, I heard that Yang Yushi and the Right Prime Minister hit it off and have a good relationship?"
The corner of Yang Yushi's mouth turned up with a proud smile: "Of course, the Right Prime Minister has introduced me as a confidant and recommended me in front of the saints many times. Now every morning when the Right Prime Minister passes by the Danfeng Gate in his carriage, he will
Open the curtain of the carriage and say hello."
This sentence made Li Siye choke for a moment. Why did he feel that talking to this person would lower his emotional intelligence? He showed off to others that he was treated politely by Li Linfu and received a reward-like greeting every morning. A dignified relative, this is what he would do to himself.
A position? Did Li Linfu think it was an honor to say hello to him? A beauty like Yang Yuhuan would probably have a bad look when she heard him say such words.
He walked up to Yang Yuyao expressionlessly and shook out two jade bracelets from his sleeves. But they were different from other jade. They were light blue, pure blue with a slight flaw. But even if there were flaws, they were very beautiful.
It is precious because this kind of thing is called turquoise and is not found in the Tang Dynasty. It is a specialty of Dashi.
Because the decorations worn by women in the Tang Dynasty were too rich, Sogdian merchants deliberately excluded these items when introducing products, thinking that they were not competitive and did not want to take the risk. Therefore, these people did not introduce turquoise.
Instead, some spices, ivory carpets and other items were introduced, resulting in such gems being rarely seen in the Central Plains.
Yesterday, he asked Michagan to find ways to exchange some valuables for him at the Western Market. As a result, Michagan took out four strings of this armband from the small vault, and the other two strings were of better quality than this one, and he was going to give them to him.
Yang Yuhuan.
According to Micha Gan himself, this thing was sold to Micha Gan by a couple of large food merchants. At that time, six camels died of the couple in Chang'an. Some said they were infected with the disease, and it was more likely that they were traveling in the same trade.
They were greedy. At that time, Dashi and his wife had prepared goods with seven camels. Unexpectedly, the transport vehicle died. Unfortunately, they had no money and most of the money had been spent on the goods. They wanted to buy camels in the Western Market.
, the only way is to sell goods cheaply.
The couple was about to cry. They were selling their goods at a low price. Wouldn't their trip to Chang'an be in vain and they would have to lose most of their money? A colleague from the caravan offered to buy their goods at a low price. Michagan happened to be there at that time.
As I passed by, I immediately saw through the clumsy plot of these people, who had harmed other people's camels and wanted to take advantage of their goods.
Michagan made a prompt decision and gave the couple money to buy seven camels. All he asked for was the turquoise armband on the arm of the big-eating woman. The couple burst into tears with gratitude, knowing that their benefactor was going to help them tide over the difficulties. At the same time,
He said that when he came to Chang'an from now on, he would only do business with Miji Store. Michagan secretly reminded the couple not to travel with this caravan again, lest they be plotted by these people again.
When Li Siye obtained the turquoise armband from Micha Gan, he got not only an allegorical chicken soup story about business ethics, but also some inspiration. An idea suddenly came to his mind. Due to the rich variety of women's jewelry in Chang'an,
Sogdian food merchants were unwilling to sell turquoise, resulting in the scarcity of this item. Isn't this the best market? They were worried that women in the Tang Dynasty were unwilling to accept such strange foreign items, but they underestimated their appreciation and tolerance for beauty.
, as long as it is beautiful things, they have very strong aesthetic and receptive abilities.
So he asked Michagan to find a few Dashi merchants and ask them to return to Dashi to prepare more turquoise stones and transport them to Chang'an to sell them to Miji Store. It didn't matter if no one bought them for a while, because Li Siye had already chosen them.
Advertising image spokespersons, who else can represent the popular fashion of the Tang Dynasty than Yang Yuyao and Yang Guifei, the ladies of Guo State. It is said that the myrobalan on the woman's chest was invented by Yang Guifei. After being spread from the palace, it immediately became popular in Chang'an City, and even
Recently, it has become popular for ladies to go bare-faced. Isn’t it because they want to imitate the beautiful and confident Lady Guo Guo?
As long as he finds a way to get Yang Yuyao and Yang Yuhuan to wear these bracelets, they can successfully lead the new fashion in Chang'an and make turquoise jewelry popular, and Micha Gan can take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
After all, Yang Yuyao was well-informed. She held up the armband made of turquoise strings and thought with eyebrows: "I seem to have seen this somewhere. Oh, I remembered it. Last year, a big sabao of Zoroastrianism brought his wife
When I entered the palace to pay my respects to the empress and the saint, I seemed to have seen this on her arm. Is there anything strange about this thing?"
"Of course it's amazing!" Li Siye praised exaggeratedly: "This kind of gem is not produced in the Tang Dynasty. It is only found in Dashi in the Western Regions. It is as blue as the sky and is extremely precious. It is said that in Dashi, only the empress from the Caliphate Palace can be found.
Only we are qualified to wear it. Things are rare and precious, and there are so few turquoises in the world. If Madam can wear this, it will show your extraordinary dignity."
"It's really good," Yang Yuyao praised with a smile. She raised her hands to pinch the shoulders of the jacket and took it off. Her delicate collarbones and round and slender arms were revealed. She wore the turquoise armbands on her left and right arms respectively.
He walked up to Yang Zhao and Li Siye with a slight shake on his shoulders and asked with a smile: "Do you think I'm so beautiful?"
Li Siye sincerely praised: "It feels like you are wearing the blue sky on your arms. Everything is like floating clouds passing by, only your face remains the same. I seem to see the beautiful goddesses in the Dunhuang murals, and their arms are also wearing such armbands."
, but still cannot be compared with you, you are you, the fairy who will never be the same."
"Giggle, giggle," Yang Yuyao laughed cheerfully without hesitation, thinking that this Li Siye would be quite cute after peeling off his face.
Yang Zhao stood behind Yang Yuyao, and he almost had goosebumps all over the floor. Even he was embarrassed to make up such disgusting words. In this situation, he had to stop Li Siye from achieving his goal.
He tactfully said to Yang Yuyao: "Cousin, your beauty is still the same. This armband is only a piece of turquoise. Although it is an item from Dashi, it looks ordinary and cannot match your appearance. Don't agree to him.
Requirement, this thing is not worth it.”
Li Siye stared into Yang Zhao's eyes and suddenly asked: "Yang Yushi, I just wanted to ask you, what kind of person do you think the Right Prime Minister is?"
