37 years old, I became a harem concubine

Shen Huan saw that these boxes were exquisitely crafted and made of high-quality materials.

After opening it, the Huai Yuchai inside was exposed.

Shen Huan took out the leftmost hairpin. The light purple jade was carved into an exquisite pavilion style. The body of the two hairpins is slightly curved, which is precious yet dexterous.

The second one is more interesting, and it is taken from the one in the story where Jin Sanniang scolded Bai Mudan angrily.

The workmanship is good, the master of the carving can be seen to be a very skilled master, but this material...

Shen Huan has used many good things, and she has seen a lot under the influence of Shen Yushen. She has never heard of any good jade in Nanling Kingdom, and only saw a few descriptions in an extremely unpopular travel note.

Although there is no jade in Nanling, there are fake jade.

This kind of fake jade is very similar to jade, just by naked eyes, it is even more watery than ordinary jade, and its color is more gorgeous.

But once the fake jade is mined, the color will be mottled and scattered like splashed water in less than three to five years, so the ranger who wrote the travel notes first went to Nanling Kingdom and saw the people there. It's a pity to understand a little.

Shen Huan did not expect that there would be such a thing in this store.

The young woman next to Shen Huan who came to buy jewelry liked these hairpins very much, and quickly asked the servant to show them to her. After picking and choosing, she finally bought the jade hairpin carved from light purple jade into the style of pavilions and pavilions. He readily paid the silver and left.

The servant said to Shen Huan: "Our shop has recently collected a lot of good jade, and they are all selling well. Madam may be interested."

Shen Huan shook her head: "I want to see your shopkeeper, is he there?"

"Madam wants to see our shopkeeper, but what's the matter? The little ones can be passed on from generation to generation."

"I'm afraid your shopkeeper and I know each other, so you just report it." Shen Huan said, and asked the nanny to stuff two taels of silver into the boy's hand.

The boy was working in Baocui Building, and he only spent 210 cash after crying to death for a month, and two taels of silver was almost half a year's wages for him.

He looked at Shen Huan, who was dressed richly, and put the money away: "Even if you are an acquaintance with my shopkeeper, the younger one will pass on to the wife. As for seeing or missing, the younger one dare not promise."

"Whether it's going to happen or not, the money is yours." Shen Huan said.

Then the boy ran to the backyard with a smile on his face, and knocked on the shopkeeper's door: "Shopkeeper, there is a lady outside who says she knows you and wants to see you."

Cai Fu, who was running around in the prostitute's clothes irregularly, was interrupted by him, and shouted angrily: "Laozi doesn't have that many acquaintances, get out!"

The boy said that he knew that the shopkeeper said that he was a hungry ghost, and he was more than half ashamed when he yelled, but holding the two taels of silver in his hand, he still added: "The lady dresses richly, and she is very convincing."

Hearing that it was a lady, and a well-dressed lady, Cai Fu's heart was moved.

He has been tired of playing with the prostitute in his hand for the past few days, and just in time to go outside to find a fresh one.

But it has always been said that the women in the official houses are the best, but those ladies who are big and small women don't go out of the door, and they have never seen any high-quality goods.

He patted his crumpled robe, pushed away the messy prostitute who was leaning on him, and said to the boy: "Let's go, I want to see who is looking for me."

Baocui Building is a century-old store. When it was handed over to Shen Huan, the front shop was connected to the back yard. The shop sold things, and the backyard was used by the old shopkeeper and family of Baocui Building. It was a benefit for the old shopkeeper.

The distance from the backyard to the front was only long, and after a while, Cai Fu came out from the corner. When he saw Shen Huan standing in front of the counter, his eyeballs almost fell to the ground.

Not amazing, but scared.

Shen Huan did not expect to meet him here, Cai Fu, the son of Jia's sister, has come to Chen Mansion to visit Jia from time to time in recent years.

In Shen Huan's impression, Jia's nephew was really incapable, with average looks and average knowledge, and whenever he found an opportunity, he would go to the girl in the house.

He looked at Cai Fu, then at Baocuilou: "I didn't expect you to be the treasurer of Baocuilou."

Cai Fu knew how Baocuilou got here better than anyone else, his face was as white as paper, his body was like chaff, and he stammered: "Old... old lady... why are you here..."

"The door of the shop is open, anyone can come, why can't I come?"

"No...not..." Cai Fu was scared again, and couldn't help but glance at Shen Huan. Gradually, lust gained the upper hand, and the thing in his body actually reacted.

Shen Huan noticed it, and was so disgusted that she almost vomited out the breakfast she had eaten in the morning, and turned around and left with Wu Shiqingzi.

As soon as they left, Cai Fu's whole body went limp, holding on to the counter to keep him from falling to the ground.

Suddenly, he rushed out in a hurry, let the bearers carry him, and went straight to Shangshu's mansion.

In Shangshu Mansion, Mrs. Jia was sitting on the kang, one of the two daughters-in-law knelt on the ground and beat her legs, and the other brought her tea, and they kept talking about this rule and that rule.

The two daughters-in-law are daughters of small officials' families, and they dare not even speak out in front of her, the grandma of the Shangshufu. If she says a word, the two of them will answer.

The servants came in and reported Cai Fulai, Jia thought he was here to give Baocuilou this month's money, but when Cai Fu came in, he cried like a dead old woman, "Auntie, save me!"

The shrill voice was like that of a slaughtered pig, and Jia Shi was so frightened that he trembled all over: "Die, look at your bear, what frightened you into such a ghostly look."

"The old lady went to Baocui Tower just now!" Cai Fu said and almost jumped up.

Jia's heart skipped a beat, but she had thought about this situation a long time ago, and quickly calmed down: "What's the hurry, I'm her daughter-in-law, and I can take care of the shop for her when she's in trouble, so why not?"

"Auntie...we took away the servants of the shopkeeper before. It's unreasonable."

"There's nothing unreasonable," Jia's expression was calm, "I was just helping the old lady get rid of the dirty hands and feet in Baocui Building, and everything was for the old lady's sake."

"My aunt is better at chess." Cai Fu convinced his aunt, why couldn't he think of this.

Jia's flattery to him was very useful, and he continued: "You exchange the stock in Baocui Building as soon as possible, and send it to the mansion according to my instructions."

The gold, silver and jade in Baocui Building are very impressive, and Jia Shi has been staring at them for not a day or two.

Moreover, after Shen Huan came out of the small Buddhist hall, she felt uncertain whether the golden hen in Baocuilou could continue to be held in her hands, so she just kept doing it and asked Cai Fu to quietly take out the inventory of Baocuilou , and hid it in her little treasury.

Sometimes, Baocui Tower is only an empty shell left.

After watching Baocui Tower, Shen Huan went to Nishang Pavilion again, but the gate of Nishang Pavilion was closed.

Shen Huan was about to turn around and leave when a half-grown boy, whose face was chapped from the cold, ran up to stop him, wearing only a thin gray jacket all winter: "Old lady, do you remember me? His grandson Luo Wei."

He was shivering with cold, and his exposed hands were covered with dense frostbite.

Shen Huan remembered him. Sometimes the old shopkeeper Luo Sheng would let him go to the mansion to give him fashionable hairpin jewelry. Maybe it was because his family loved him. Luo Wei was not as cautious as Luo Sheng, but full of youthful spirit. Bring him some outside gadgets and ask him for a reward.

Shen Huan quickly handed him the stove: "Why are you here, where are your grandfather and parents?"

Luo Wei had a sore nose and held a delicate hand stove: "We live in Sparrow Lane in the west city now. Grandpa caught a cold and became seriously ill. Dad works on the pier."

Shen Huan frowned: "Take me to visit them, and tell me what happened these days along the way."

"Mrs. Xie," said the young man, who was also limping with frostbite on his feet, "a few days ago, my little one and grandpa were trying to settle accounts and planned to send my wife the last month's money. A group of people came, saying that they were ordered by Grandma Chen to temporarily take over Baocui Building."

"Grandpa said that the younger family is the wife's family. Unless Grandma Chen can show your token, Baocuilou will not let anyone take over."

Shen Huan nodded, this was indeed what Luo Sheng could say and do.

He asked Luo Wei: "What happened next?"

Luo Wei licked his puffy lips: "Those people are unreasonable at all! Seeing that Grandpa didn't hand over the shop to them, and allowed the evil slaves to beat up the servants in Baocui Building, Grandpa and Dad went to stop them, but they also beat them Meal."

Talking about what happened that day, Luo Wei gritted his teeth with hatred. Although their family is a slave, Shen Huan has never been a master with many things, and has taken good care of them.

Father and grandfather were beaten, Luo Wei wished to kill those people one by one, but he had no strength, and he was beaten severely, and his chest and waist are still aching.

His eyes were dark, and he continued: "After beating people, they threw the belongings of the younger family out of Baocui Building, and told the younger family that they have the support of the Shangshufu, even if they report to the officials, it is useless."

Just hearing what he said, Shen Huan could think of the situation at that time, and smiled coldly: "It's so majestic."

Walking all the way, Luo Wei took them to Sparrow Lane in the west city.

This side of Xicheng was originally the place where the famous poor people lived in Shengjing City, and Sparrow Lane was the best among them.

This place is just like its name, Sparrow Lane Sparrow Lane, the entrance and exit are all dilapidated alleys that are only wide enough for one person. .

Luo Wei patted the crumbling door, and soon a woman's voice came from the door: "Who?"

Luo Wei said: "Mom, I'm back, I happened to meet an old lady on the way, and the old lady is here too."

The door opened from the inside, and a young woman straightened her hair and straightened her clothes: "Old lady, hospitality is not allowed here, I hope you don't mind."

Luo Sheng's family were slaves born in the family, and those who were able to marry Luo Wei's father were naturally slaves who had been enslaved, but they were born with beautiful features and slender figures, making people want to get close to them just by looking at them.
