Chapter 025
More people are more likely to cause trouble, especially Yan Yuqing offended the powerful Zheng and Lu families a few days ago. If they meet today, I still don’t know if they can be good.
While worried, Manager Jin was walking around Beijing and Hong Kong with a slightly bloated body while worrying, so that he could barely avoid being hit.
"Why are there so many people today?" Yan Yuqing stood on tiptoe and looked ahead, crowded with people.
Not far away, Xiaoyuan stood among the crowd in a long coarse cloth gown.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way." Several men holding long swords and driving the crowd also walked towards this side. Followed by a man holding a folding fan in his hand and swinging wildly.
The man half-covered his face, raised his sword eyebrows, and turned his long and narrow phoenix eyes, and saw Yan Yuqing in the crowd frowning and looking at him.
Isn't this Zheng Jian? Why are you running here if you are not at home? Yan Yuqing thought, quickly retracted her eyes, turned around and walked quickly towards Xiaoyuan.
I saw Xiaoyuan looking at a large vermilion ship and slowly shored here. The huge golden-lacquered beast on the bow looked into the distance with bright eyes, as if he was patrolling the people on the boat. The boat was hanging on the side with a small boat like leaves, connected to the head and tail, with dozens of them.
Yan Yuqing was dumbfounded when she saw it. This ship is so big! It is more than three times larger than what she had seen in the past.
When the ship slowly landed, many of the ships that were originally parked in Beijing Port had sailed out, and almost half of the entire port was occupied by this ship.
The originally surging crowd scattered everywhere, walked to the side of the boat to draw ropes and build boards, and there was a busy scene.
Yan Yuqing walked to Xiaoyuan and looked at the already-stayed ship and said, "Where did this ship come from? The tourmaline is here?"
After Xiaoyuan greeted Yan Yuqing beside him, Fang Dao heard that it was the ship of the Shi family in Beiliang."
The Shi family in Beiliang is a mysterious and ancient family.
It is rumored that the Shi family has been doing business for generations, and the industries he can go everywhere he can go. He never participates in the struggle for power in various places. He is a low-key and introverted family.
Before they came to Beijing this time, they had already heard the news. This time they brought many top-notch colorful gems such as tourmaline, topaz, emerald, colorful sapphire, spinel, etc. Tourmaline is the most. I heard that there is a watermelon tourmaline that is as big as a basin, which will also be released this time.
Yan Yuqing stood there looking forward, and there were other people around who came to see him waiting patiently.
The long golden lacquer pedal fell to the shore with a "click". A man wearing a gilded cinnabar and beautiful pose was surrounded by beautiful maids, like a fairy-like man.
When he stood on the flat ground, he looked around for a while, his lips slightly raised. He took out a blue faceted oval gem from the tip of a colorful tourmaline bead and placed in his palm.
The gems are clear blue in the sun, deep and clean, without any impurities. They are really a rare and excellent product.
The man opened his thin lips lightly, his voice as crisp as jade: "Who knows what this is?"
"Sapphire" Zheng Jian's folding fan lightly.
The man's eyes circulated, he smiled and shook his head.
"Topalstone" a girl pointed her finger and raised her chin slightly, and said proudly.
The man smiled and continued to shake his head.
There were rustling discussions around.
"Blue spinel?"
Still not.
Yan Yuqing was a little anxious. What were she doing here? Hurry up and go to the boat to see the gems.
As soon as Yan Yuqing's words came out, he received gazes from all directions, looking, suspicion, ridicule, and shocked.
One of the warm and gentle eyes fell on her. Yan Yuqing looked at her. It was the man in gorgeous clothes just now. He walked to Yan Yuqing with a smile and said, "Congratulations, girl, all the products in the audience can enjoy a half-price discount today."
As soon as these words were spoken, they caused screams.
"There are fewer and fewer people who know the goods. I hope the girl can pick what she likes today." As he said that, the man took out a round card with a full jade-turned pink purple carved from his cuff, with a chic word "stone" engraved on it. The back is exquisitely carved with phoenix flying to the sky. The phoenix carved was lifelike, and even the feathers on the tail were clearly distinguished. It was really a rare thing.
"What a beautiful Shujilai, this is the first time I have seen him." Yan Yuqing cheered in surprise, and his hand holding the round card was cautious, for fear of being broken.
The man nodded to Yan Yuqing with satisfaction and said, "The girl knows Caibao at a young age and will become a great man in the future. My name is Shi Yan, and I am the manager of the Shi Mansion ship. If you have any questions on the ship, you can come to me."
After saying that, he led everyone to board the vermilion ship.
At this time, someone asked curiously: "What is Shujilai, I don't seem to have heard of it?"
The people around him also had confusion in their eyes.
Someone said, "That girl is so amazing. She can easily break out so many rare gems in her grade."
Some gentry and officials, seeing her dignified and beautiful appearance and extraordinary knowledge, began to ask who her surname was, and even had the idea of proposing marriage.
Some others began to pay attention to Shi Yan and muttered in a low voice to the people around them: "Such a fairy-like person is just the manager of the Shi Mansion ship!"
"Where is the Shi Mansion? It's a legend in the business world! It's not enough to think about it if you have such a manager." Another insider replied.
Suddenly someone turned around and looked at Yan Yuqing and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't know what luck this girl has left, but she actually won Shi Yan's favor." The greedy and jealous eyes were circling on her.
Yin Feng stood in front of her with a steel knife in his hand, immediately blocking all his sights.
Yan Yuqing looked at the Shujulai round card in her hand and thought to herself, it seems that you have to be careful today. There are probably many people who covet it. Everyone likes good things!
Yan Yuqing stood on the deck of the vermilion ship and found that the boat was so big that it could not be seen at all. The entire ship was made of reddish-brown red rosewood. The most luxurious thing for the high-ranking officials in the capital was to use the big red rosewood to make furniture.
It is really poverty that limits Yan Yuqing's imagination. It is really incredible to be a whole big ship.
Shi Yan led everyone to continue walking forward and entered the cabin. This is the main battlefield today. On the rows of exquisite white crystal shelves, there are various rare treasures, which are dazzling, making people unable to see them.
"Look at it slowly. If you like it, you can ask the treasure next to you." Only then did everyone notice that there was a tall blue-eyed girl standing next to each ancient shelf.
As soon as he looked at two ancient shelves, Yan Yuqing was attracted by a string of Ruby Laimei red tourmaline bracelets.
The carved rose beads were stringed into a circle, and two yellow and green butterflies dancing below them, as thin as cicada wings, transparent and crystal clear, and were pleasant to watch.
The rose-red Ruby Lai tourmaline is known as the three top colors among tourmalines, together with watermelon tourmaline and blue tourmaline.
"How to sell this?" Yan Yuqing looked at Shibao and asked.
"Twenty gold."
She thought to herself that it was not expensive to be twenty, but the amount of money she brought today was limited. So she looked at two ancient shelves and didn’t know how many good things there were later. Should I save some money? She also planned to bid for the rumored watermelon tourmaline tonight! What should I do?
Seeing Yan Yuqing hesitating, Shibao smiled and said, "Miss, are you worried that there are too many treasures and not enough money? We can barter here."
"So good" Yan Yuqing's eyes were shiny. She thought of the things the queen gave her. Although they were luxurious, many of them were not what she liked.
So she happily bought the roses, Ruby Leaf Red Tourmaline butterfly bracelet, and made a list, which contained a lot of things that the queen rewarded on weekdays. Many of them were large ornaments, mostly because she didn't like them very much, and could not sell them openly or give them to others, so it was always accumulated in Curry.
Qingzhu took the list to the servant who was waiting outside, and asked Jiang Nushi to send someone to bring all the things on the boat, and then returned to the cabin to find Yan Yuqing.
Seeing Yan Yuqing standing quietly beside a set of drinking utensils, he was stunned. The drink had bowls, plates, chopsticks, spoons, tea cups, small pots and soup jars, all of which were blue in the lake, with a rippling luster. When I picked it up, it was like the blue sea and blue sky intertwined, cool and transparent.
If a single item does not attract Yan Yuqing's attention, this thing is not unusual in her previous places. Moreover, the color of the match is inevitably biased, and it will lose the value of collection. However, this set has a unified color and is obviously taken from the same raw stone, which is really rare!
Just as Yan Yuqing was about to ask about the price, a young man with a round face and a ball-shaped figure stood directly opposite the set of drinking utensils.
"In the hot summer, I have no appetite for anything. This set of drinkware looks pretty good." The child said in a pretty good manner, and a servant beside him asked Shibao: "How do you get this set of drinkware?"
"A set of 688 gold in total."
People passing by were gasping for breath when they heard this, and Yan Yuqing was also secretly shocked. This set of drinkware is really not cheap, and you can buy a good farmhouse in the outskirts of the capital.
Then Shibao continued to introduce: "There are not many stones. The old man who collected them at that time said that it was as color as blue sky and clear water, so he named it Tianhe Stone. At present, the entire Shi family only has this set. Therefore, it cannot be measured by price. After all, rare things are expensive."
When the child heard this, he felt that Shibao was saying something reasonable, so he raised his hand and said, "Pay the bill."
He spent a lot of money to show it to the fullest.
Yan Yuqing was also very moved after hearing Shibao's introduction. She liked this set of drinkware, but she didn't expect it to be so rare. In desperation, she said: "Wait."
