Da Qi was a neighboring country of Jin and Chu. It had fertile soil and abundant resources, and most of its people lived a relatively affluent life. However, the country was usually strictly closed, and its handicrafts could not be circulated, let alone the rare glass and gems.
Over the years, there have not been many gems in the national treasury of the Great Qi Dynasty. I didn't expect to find them here.
For a moment, Gu Qingsheng was stunned.
In his previous life, he had seen Chu Zhiyao go through great pains to get a piece of gemstone to give to Luo Zhaozhao. The Da Qi gemstone was known as the Stone of Peace. For him now, this thing was the best.
The old man called Uncle Song seemed to be very pleased with Gu Qingsheng's dumbfoundedness and Yan Hui's flattery. He stroked his beard and snorted.
"I didn't expect there was a girl who knew what she was talking about."
He went to the display case and now when he looked at Qingsheng, he was not so annoyed.
"What do you want?"
Although he knew that Yan Hui was an extraordinary person and that the place he brought him to was definitely a good place, Gu Qingsheng was still hesitant to believe what he saw.
The Da Qi gemstone, which is worth a fortune, appeared in such a place and was even being sold. No matter how I thought about it, it didn't seem right.
Seeing Gu Qingsheng's hesitation, Uncle Song thought she didn't believe it, and immediately frowned.
"Why? It seems like you, little girl, don't believe it?"
He reached out and took out a gem from the display case and showed it to Gu Qingsheng.
"You can verify it."
"That's not what I meant."
Smiling at Uncle Song, Gu Qingsheng nodded politely.
"That is to say, Qingsheng never expected to see the Great Qi Gem here, so he was a little surprised. Uncle Song is really an extraordinary person, to be able to do such a thing."
She smiled and took a step back, bowing to Song Shu, with a calm expression on her face.
"I haven't introduced myself yet. I am..."
“No need.”
Uncle Song reached out to stop Gu Qingsheng from speaking, as if he understood everything.
"I know who you are. Didn't you tell me just now, Kiyomori?"
"There aren't many people named Qingsheng in Jinchu. Gu Qingsheng, the Princess of Changle, right?"
Even though he already knew Gu Qingsheng's identity, Uncle Song was not surprised at all. He looked at Gu Qingsheng with a neutral look and looked her over.
"He's not as stupid as the legend says."
Sitting back on the recliner, Uncle Song closed his eyes again.
"What do you want? Can you tell me now?"
Yan Hui rubbed his hands and came forward with a flattering smile.
"Uncle Song, you're so fierce, you're going to scare people again."
He leaned close to Uncle Song's ear and told him what Gu Qingsheng wanted, which made Uncle Song raise his eyebrows. He lingered on Gu Qingsheng's stomach for a while, smiling as if he understood something.
Looking at Uncle Song's expression, you can tell that he must have misunderstood something, and looking at Yan Hui's gloating look beside him, you can tell that he must be seeking revenge for what happened on the street just now.
Gu Qingsheng did not argue with Yan Hui. She and Uncle Song did not know each other to begin with, so no matter what Yan Hui said, she just smiled and accepted it.
"So, can the thing be made?"
"I can do it."
After receiving Uncle Song's affirmative answer, Gu Qingsheng breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a very smooth prototype jade stone, which was crystal clear and seemed to have light flowing inside.
"Use this for ten thousand taels of gold. One hand for the money, the other for the goods."
After saying that, he lay down again. Gu Qingsheng looked at Uncle Song for a while, as if thinking about something.
Bai Lu behind him was the first to shout
"Ten thousand taels of gold?! Who has that much silver? Are you robbing me?"
This amount is indeed not a small sum. Although the royal palace is not short of silver, it is impossible to take out 10,000 taels of gold at once.
"It has always been this price. I believe your princess knows how precious this thing is. Ten thousand taels of gold is not expensive at all."
Gu Qingsheng pursed his lips and nodded
"That's right, Bai Lu, don't be disrespectful to Uncle Song."
After that, she took Bai Lu and said goodbye to Uncle Song.
"But I really can't come up with so much silver right now. Please, Uncle Song, keep this gem for me. Qingsheng will come back when he gets the money."
"Princess!"
Bai Lu looked at Gu Qingsheng with resentment. She didn't understand why Gu Qingsheng had to recognize this old man's shop.
"How can we raise ten thousand taels of gold? Even if we sell all the jewelry in our house, we still can't come up with it!"
"Bai Lu, be patient."
After comforting her, Gu Qingsheng's eyes became distant.
"There are always more solutions than problems. Let's go back first."
Unexpectedly, after taking two steps, I heard Yan Hui whispering to Uncle Song behind me.
"What?!"
With Uncle Song's scream, he called Gu Qingsheng again.
"etc!"
This time, her tone was filled with surprise and disbelief. Gu Qingsheng looked at her for at least half a minute before he slowly spoke.
"You...really?"
There was another long silence.
"never mind."
Uncle Song sighed, stood up, and waved to Gu Qingsheng.
"It's really not easy for him to be like this. Go ahead and come back in three days to get your things."
"But……"
Gu Qingsheng frowned
"I haven't collected the ten thousand taels yet..."
"unnecessary."
"Consider it a gift to you."
After saying this, Uncle Song turned away, unwilling to look at Qingsheng anymore.
This made Gu Qingsheng a little dazed. He wanted to refuse, but when he turned around and looked at Yan Hui's eyes, he understood something.
Yan Hui also signaled Gu Qingsheng to leave quickly, while proudly holding his head high, showing his pride.
In this case, Gu Qingsheng swallowed his words of refusal and bowed to Song Shufu.
"In that case, thank you very much, Uncle Song."
After Gu Qingsheng left, Uncle Song sat on the bench with his legs crossed as if in a rage, and glared at the
"Her?! Her?! What's so good about her?! Could that guy be blind?"
"There's nothing I can do, Uncle Song."
Yan Hui understood Uncle Song's current mood very well. Thinking about what Gu Qingsheng had done on the street just now, he felt very sad.
"I also think he's blind. This woman is so evil! She will definitely take advantage of Qing Yi! But there's nothing we can do! What can we do if the respected Imperial Master falls for this?"
And he didn't just fall for it, he was completely controlled by it.
Frowning slightly, Yan Hui sat there somewhat dejectedly.
"Anyway, you can ask Xu Qingyi to compensate you for your losses today. He's rich as hell, so we can take this opportunity to blackmail him, and then we can go drink."
"You have no conscience."
Song Shu glanced back and fell into deep thought.
"So, was the thing she ordered really for herself?"
"Of course!"
Yan Hui did not hesitate, but there was a glimmer of gloating in his eyes.
Thinking about the things that Gu Qingsheng had ordered, Uncle Song felt complicated.
"I didn't expect it to be so fast...ah..."
