Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

The stalls were filled with a dazzling array of accessories, each of which was meticulously crafted, dazzling Jiang Fenghua's eyes. It was not like they had not been to the streets before. They had also been strolling around the streets during those few days, but they were always in a state of preparation and had never been as relaxed as they were today.

Xie Shang picked out a jade hairpin and inserted it into her bun. "It looks very nice."

He went on to carefully choose other things, wanting to put together a set of jewelry for her. He could have it custom-made for her, but it was not as fun as when they went out to the street together to choose.

Jiang Fenghua turned his eyes away when he saw how serious he was.

Suddenly, she saw a pair of jade pendants made of dragon and phoenix.

Xie Shang finally found someone he liked.

The two of them reached out to take it at the same time. Just as each of them picked up a piece, he smiled at her and said, "Do you like it?"

He suddenly touched her hand, Jiang Fenghua blushed and said nothing, "It's just normal!"

Seeing this, the boss began to introduce them nonstop, "This pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants looks very simple, but they are actually really good stuff. Take a closer look, the patterns inside are all naturally modified, just like a giant dragon and a phoenix flying together. The craftsman skillfully preserved the essence of the jade pendants. They look simple but very noble, and very pleasing to the eye. Anyone who says otherwise would not know the value of the jade pendants."

Jiang Fenghua knew that the businessman would definitely brag about himself, and the prices in the jade market were very chaotic, so one could easily be cheated if one was not careful.

Xie Shang was just about to say what he had bought and how much it cost.

Jiang Fenghua quickly said, "It's just very ordinary."

Her words made the boss roll his eyes in anger. "If you want to buy, pay for it. This pair of jade pendants is 10,000 taels. No bargaining. If you don't want to buy, go away and don't delay my business. If you don't want to buy, there are plenty of people who will. This pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants is the only one of its kind. It's hard to come by."

Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "I'll give you ten taels of silver."

Xie Shang was also dumbfounded. The other party asked for 10,000 taels, but she only offered 10 taels. When he bought jewelry in shops in Shengjing City, he never paid less than 1,000 taels.

In Jiang Fenghua's opinion, he has money but doesn't know how to spend it. She will not encourage this kind of behavior when she is away from home.

The boss said, "This high-quality jade must be worth five hundred taels."

Xie Shang looked at the boss and asked for five hundred taels directly without bargaining, starting from ten thousand taels, which meant that he could continue bargaining.

"Although the jade is good, the carving is extremely crude. I guess no one has been interested in these two jade pendants yet! A good piece of jade will become a piece of waste and worthless if it falls into the hands of an unsuitable craftsman."

Jiang Fenghua said directly: "If jade is not carved, it will not become a useful object. Your jade pendant is worthless now!"

The boss was stunned and said firmly, "It is indeed good jade, worth the price. Go to other stalls to see if jade of this quality is worth the price."

Jiang Fenghua did not argue with him, and said in a gentle manner: "The boss just said that the craftsman cleverly preserved the jade pendant itself. In my opinion, I dare not touch it. This piece of jade is not easy to carve. It looks like a dragon and a phoenix based on the patterns inside. In fact, it can also be compared to a snake and a chicken. It is not worth the money. If the boss is willing to spend ten taels of silver, I will buy it and carve it myself. It can barely be worn. If you take it out like this, people will laugh at you."

The boss thought about it and realized that it was indeed a piece of jade that had been cut into pieces. It was obviously good material, but it had become waste. He felt it was a pity to throw it away.

"I think you are an expert in this business. You can tell good jade from bad jade. What you lack is a good jade carver. If you pay a little more, I will sell it to you."

"Twenty taels, one price." Jiang Fenghua added, "I don't want it no matter how much more expensive it is."

The boss thought about it and said, "Deal."

These two pieces of jade were cut from a single piece of jade. If they were cut well, they would be worth at least a thousand taels.

Jiang Fenghua held it in his palm and took out thirty taels of silver from his purse and gave it to the boss, "I'll lend you the extra ten taels of silver for your carving tools."

The boss was stunned again, "You want to carve it yourself, can you do it?"

"I feel I can do it, and I want to give it a try. It has nothing to do with the boss if the carving is damaged," she said.

The boss also wanted to know how she turned the waste materials that he had cut into pieces into treasures, "Please, young lady." Thirty taels would be enough.

Xie Shang asked, "You want to do it yourself, can you really carve it?"

"Let's give it a try. Lin Yu said that we started out as a jade business." She leaned close to Xie Shang's ear and said, "If the carving is successful, this pair of jade pendants will be worth at least five thousand taels."

Xie Shang was dumbfounded. No wonder Jiang Jinyan said that they were never short of money outside and even made a lot of money with huge profit margins.

A piece of fine jade can sometimes be sold at a sky-high price.

She began to modify the jade pendant seriously and attentively, which attracted many people. Someone said, "If you can carve it yourself, it would be meaningful to choose some jade you like and design it yourself."

Seeing many people coming to the stall, the boss thought quickly, "I have all the jade you want. If you want to carve a love token for your husband like this girl did, you are welcome to choose. I will provide the carving tools for free."

When everyone heard this, regardless of whether they knew how to do it or not, they all started to choose carefully.

When Xie Shang heard what his boss said, his thoughts surged. Was Jiang Fenghua going to personally carve a token of love for him?

He was delighted as he watched her slowly carve out the shape bit by bit, and he was looking forward to her finished product.

Jiang Fenghua carved patiently from day to night, and the boss made a lot of money. Unexpectedly, the finished products were not easy to sell, but the semi-finished products were sold out. Everyone wanted to buy them and carve them themselves.

When the boss saw the shapes of the two jade pendants, he was shocked and said, "What a great carving! The girl is amazing!"

Jiang Fenghua smiled slightly, polished the entire jade pendant with sandpaper and finished it.

After making the noodles, she just glanced at the two jade pendants for the boss and said, "Okay, thank you for the tools, boss."

The boss knows that what is valuable is not the jade itself, but the person who carves the jade. Jade is everywhere, but the craftsmanship is the most valuable.

No matter how good a piece of jade is, without a good carving master it will be a piece of waste.

Coming out of the boss's stall, Jiang Fenghua put the two jade pendants into his pocket.

Xie Shang stretched out his hand to her, "Give me the piece you gave me!"

"what?"

"It's a token of love! It's the dragon and phoenix jade pendant that you just carved with your own hands. You get one and I get one." He didn't believe that she could give the jade pendant to someone else, and he was full of expectations.

Jiang Fenghua frowned, "Who said I wanted to give it to you? This is a gift I want to give to my parents, one for each of them."

Xie Shang felt very disappointed, he thought she gave it to him.

Looking at the bustling streets and the lively crowds, Xie Shang no longer had any interest in strolling around. At this moment, he was only thinking about one thing: Jiang Fenghua didn't have him in her heart.

"What festival is it today? The streets are so lively, and all kinds of lanterns are lit up everywhere." Jiang Fenghua didn't notice that he was in a bad mood. She said, "It seems to be the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Xie Shang still didn't move.
