The little man is born to make money

"My lord, Mr. Lin has brought you something again!" Shi Mo ran to Xie Jinyu's side excitedly holding a delicate pear wood box.

At this time, Xie Jinyu was wearing light blue clothes, which were draped softly behind her like black black silk. She was quietly looking at a picture scroll on the desk, with a joyful smile on her face.

"What did he bring?" Xie Jinyu's eyes bright as stars flickered for a moment, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, revealing a hint of a smile.

"Hey, young master, you are looking at the painting that Mr. Lin gave you again. You have seen this painting for at least three times. Why do you look at it again?" Si Mo stretched out his head, glanced at the scroll on Xie Jinyu's desk, his eyes As soon as it was bright, the gossip light of excitement shone on his face.

"What nonsense are you talking about again? I just... just recalled the scene when the restaurant opened! After all, it is my first time doing business, so I have to think about what I did wrong!" Xie Jinyu slapped Shi Mo on the head, and hastily denied it, but he didn't know that his appearance of not having 300 taels of silver here made Shi Shu and Shi Mo secretly cover their mouths and laugh.

Xie Jinyu was not annoyed, and went up to take the box that Shi Mo was holding in his arms, with a look of surprise on his face, "Hey, why is it a box this time? Looking at the shape, it looks like a jewelry box?"

The waiter brought Xie Jinyu a cup of tea, and chuckled, "Looking at the appearance of this box, it really looks like a jewelry box. Mr. Lin has given you a gift for so long, and it's finally delivered to a serious place!"

When she said this, Xie Jinyu was quite embarrassed.During this period of time, Qi Lin did send some gifts here and there every now and then. It was not a rare thing, but it could always please Xie Jinyu.For example, there are no fewer than three picture scrolls drawn by himself, all of which are the details of his getting along with Xie Jinyu, coaxing Xie Jinyu to take them out to observe when he is free.There are also cakes and snacks in the east of the city, and the newly launched silk ribbons, all kinds, anyway, as long as he thinks it is good, he will send it to Xie Jinyu with great fanfare.

At first, the rest of the Xie family didn't know about it, until Qi Lin suddenly called the most famous theater troupe in Jiangning City to sing "Peach Blossom Fan" to Xie Jinyu all afternoon in Xie's mansion. Everyone else in the government knew that Qi Lin was pursuing Xie Jinyu!

Some time ago, "Peach Blossom Fan" suddenly became popular in Jiangning City, Xie Jinyu also wanted to see it, but unfortunately he was busy with the restaurant and couldn't spare time, and the show was too popular, almost every show was overcrowded Well, the tickets for the next show have already been sold until next month, Xie Jinyu really didn't have a chance to catch a glimpse of the beauty, so he faintly refrained from thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, I don't know where Qi Lin found out about Xie Jinyu's desire to listen to the opera. He actually asked people to invite the entire theater troupe, and even asked them to sing at Xie's mansion all afternoon. play.

Xie Jinyu was surprised and delighted. Of course, as the head of the family, Father Xie knew about such a big movement, and from the mouths of Shi Mo and others, he also knew that Qi Lin had been flattering Xie Jinyu for almost a month!

Furious and helpless, Father Xie simply ignored it with a last wave of his sleeves, and was busy outside every day until the evening before coming back, so as not to let him hear any bad news again.

Thinking of this, Xie Jinyu unconsciously showed a smile in his eyes.There was a trace of curiosity and expectation on his face, thinking about what jewelry Lin Qi would give him.

The pear wood box does not look big, but it is very delicate. A white red-crowned crane with wings spread out is carved on it, and wisps of fragrance come out from the box, which is refreshing.

"It is said that good wood is hard to find, and the legendary pear blossom wood is indeed so. Just looking at this jewelry box, it is already a rare treasure, and I don't know how rare the jewelry in this box must be." Shi Shumu revealed Surprised, she doesn't know anything like Shi Mo, obviously, this jewelry box is already worth thousands of gold.How can jewelry that can be stored in such a precious box be an ordinary thing?

Xie Jinyu's heart was pounding, she opened the golden lock, and revealed the long-awaited jewelry box.

A bright azure sapphire the size of an oval thumb lay quietly in the box, emitting a faint blue light.On both sides of the blue gemstone, there are two pink east beads the size of pigeon eggs, one on the left and the other on the right, guarding each other.

Noble, mysterious, and indescribably beautiful, the three present quietly held their breath.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Jinyu suddenly heard a grunt from beside him. It turned out that Shi Mo swallowed his saliva in surprise.

"My God!" The servant also came back to his senses, his face flushed, and he said with trembling lips, "Young master, I don't have dizziness! Is this... is this a gemstone? Why is it more transparent than emeralds and night pearls?" Dazzling?"

During this period of time, I have seen a lot of scenes with Xie Jinyu, but this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful gemstone. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dazzling star in the sky!

"This... this thing is too expensive, I can't take it!" Xie Jinyu put down the box suddenly, her heart tightened a little, she squeezed her palm and murmured, "Shi Mo, return these quickly, this thing is too expensive. Precious!"

Although Xie Jinyu didn't know what material this sapphire was made of, but just looking at the two pink pearls next to it, he knew that the things inside were priceless!How dare he accept such a valuable thing?

Especially... Especially the relationship between the two of them has not been confirmed yet, so if they take this thing rashly, how should they deal with themselves in the future?

Xie Jinyu couldn't make up his mind for a long time, so anxious that his palms started to sweat.

On the other side, the palace.

The harem is very lively today, the maids and eunuchs have arranged in the imperial garden early, and cleaned up the inside, all kinds of melons, fruits, cakes, exotic flowers and herbs are placed in the garden. , shuttling among the flowers, the sound of silk, bamboo and wind music can be heard endlessly.

"Sister Royal Concubine, it's such a grand occasion today, why hasn't the rightful owner come over yet?" The one who spoke was a woman in a pink palace dress, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a beautiful appearance.This girl is the youngest daughter of the Minister of the Household Department. She has been in the palace for less than five years. She is young but full of favor, so she is very popular among the concubines.

"Sister Concubine Su was joking. Concubine Hui has always been in poor health. You don't know about it these years. Besides, today is Concubine Hui's birthday. Our sisters are here to celebrate her birthday. Why wait so long?" Concubine Zhang He chuckled, with a graceful smile on his face.Since the queen was abolished, she and Concubine An, Concubine Xian, and Concubine De have been in charge of the harem.Concubine De has no children, Concubine An has a sick child, she might go there that day, and the eighth prince she gave birth to is also useless, so she never takes it to heart.

Only Concubine Xian, whose status is not inferior to her own, also has the Tenth Prince and Ninth Princess next to her, who are formidable rivals.Concubine Zhang Guifei has two princes, the Seventh Prince and the Twelfth Prince. These years, the Seventh Prince has become very powerful, and has formed a tendency to confront the Fourth Prince. The Twelfth Prince has also grown up and can help her elder brother. I thought the throne was already in my pocket However, he did not expect Prince An to appear out of nowhere!

He's just the son of a concubine, and he dares to rob her little seven?If Concubine Hui is sensible, it is best to assist Xiao Qi honestly, if she dares to seek refuge with the fourth prince, then don't blame her for being cruel!

Several thoughts flashed through Concubine Zhang Gui's mind, but her face was graceful and luxurious, not showing the slightest bit.

"Concubine Hui is here——" At this moment, a eunuch reminded Concubine Zhang Guifei to look over with a smile, a hint of amazement appeared in her eyes, and the smile on her mouth faded.

Concubine Hui was seen wearing a long indigo dress, the chest and the skirt were surrounded by silver moiré patterns, a billowing wave was slightly curled on the skirt, and the wide skirt moved with the wind, growing lotuses every step of the way. There is a tinkling sound of the ring pendant, which makes Concubine Hui look like a nine-day fairy, and Luoshen is alive.

Just at this moment, a ray of sunlight shone on Concubine Hui, the radiance was dazzling, Concubine Zhang and the others took a closer look, and only then did they see the headdress that Concubine Hui was wearing, and they were shocked and jealous at the same time.

It turned out to be Concubine Hui's blue silk coiled up today, with a green bird with Lingyun spreading its wings pinned in the middle of her black hair, and an emerald cloud is worn between the front bun and the back hair, the steps are exquisite, and each of them is inlaid with a light green one gem.

When Concubine Hui entered the palace back then, she was already famous for her imaginative looks and her resemblance to the concubine Ming.Not only did he dress up to attend today, but he also wore a grape-sized indigo gemstone on his white forehead with a crystal necklace, and the dazzling twelve East Pearls around his neck, which directly ignited the jealousy of all the women present.

Concubine Hui...why did Concubine Hui suddenly?

A thought arose in countless people's minds, what exactly does Concubine Hui want to do?After all, in the past ten years, this woman has been very honest. She is almost dressed in plain clothes, never stained with lip balm, and never steps out of the Changchun Palace. She stays in the palace all day, reading and playing the piano. Why is she dressed so grandly today?

"The imperial concubine has been waiting for a long time!" Concubine Hui gently bent over and saluted, with a frown and a smile, she could only see her undeniable beauty.

"Sister Concubine Hui, get up, you are so bright and charming today, compared to all our sisters and sisters." Zhang Guifei's face was a little stiff, the smile on the corner of her mouth could not be maintained, she wished she could turn around and leave immediately.

Concubine Hui smiled lightly, "The empress is graceful, sister An is delicate and tender, and sister Concubine Xian is gentle and gentle. Everyone has their own strengths, so how can I compare!"

"Hmph, I think Concubine Hui can only rely on these jewels to decorate the table!" Concubine An couldn't hide the jealousy in her eyes, and her words were also sour.

"Where did my younger sister get this outfit? My elder sister has never seen such a beautiful gemstone before. Such an emerald jewel must be matched only by the Empress Dowager's ruby ​​head!" Concubine Xian Rou Judo, but his eyes glanced at the grape-sized emerald on Concubine Hui's forehead from time to time.

Concubine Zhang Guifei's complexion changed, and her eyes drifted away when she looked at Dongzhu on Concubine Hui's neck.She remembered that in the tenth year of Tianqi, there was a foreign race presenting the undersea pearls, each of which was round and huge, with a shiny luster, compared to the necklace Hui Concubine is wearing now, it obviously pales in comparison!

Concubine Hui is just a concubine daughter of the Xie family, where did she get such jewelry?Could it be given by the emperor?

"The emperor is here—" Just when everyone was wondering and doubting Concubine Hui, Emperor Qi Yuan came to the imperial garden.It's Concubine Hui's birthday today, if it was before, he wouldn't have come here, but Prince An made a big splash a few days ago, no matter what, his biological mother still deserves a bit of decency.

"The concubine has met Your Majesty, Your Majesty is safe—" The concubines hurried out to greet her, all of them with various demeanors, charming and charming.

"Get up." Emperor Qi Yuan said indifferently, when he raised his head, he was extremely amazed, took a step forward and held Concubine Hui's hand, and said with a light smile, "I don't know, but there is a concubine and fairy hiding beside me!"
