Chapter 599: Insult to the Snow Lotus of the Western Regions?
Jiu Ye rolled his eyes: "Could it be that we have to ask Xiao Si's wife to pay for the silver?"
Master Shi curled his lips and said, "Come on, just get more gold, right?"
When Master Jiu heard this, he got furious and slapped Master Shi on the back of his head: "Do you think this gold badge is a piece of cake? You can get it just like that?"
The Tenth Master shrank his neck, knowing that this was an unreasonable request, so he just curled his lips and looked at Wen Jiu again and said, "Did you hear that, Little Fourth Sister-in-law? Originally, this gold was for me to bring, but now it's all given to you. Cherish it."
Wen Jiu was confused after hearing this: "What on earth is this? Please explain it clearly."
Jiu Ye: "Just use it as your entry ticket to the auction house below."
Then, he glanced at the sky and said, "Hurry up, or you might not be able to get in if you're late."
As he was speaking, he brought some warm wine into Zui Xiang Lou, and after several turns, he entered a secret passage.
After walking for a while, the view in front of us suddenly opened up, as if we had entered an underground city. We followed Master Jiu through many twists and turns and entered a private room.
The room was decorated very elegantly. Wen Jiu looked around, picked up a cup on the table and examined it carefully, then asked, "What kind of place is this?"
Jiu Ye glanced at her and waved: "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, come here."
Wen Jiu walked over curiously and waved his hands: "And then?"
Then, Jiu Ye raised his eyebrows, and the next second, he walked to the window and pulled open the curtains.
In an instant, light poured in.
Wenjiu looked out the window and realized that she seemed to be in an underground palace. From a distance, there was a huge flame in the middle, illuminating the entire space.
Looking around, there were so many rooms that I couldn't count them all: "Oh my god, in Kyoto, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, there is such an underground chamber of commerce? This is too unbelievable..."
This was in ancient times. It is hard to imagine how long it took to build it.
Jiu Ye looked at Wen Jiu's expression and said proudly, "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, what do you think? Shocking, right?"
Wenjiu nodded vigorously and gave them both a thumbs-up. "Awesome! What kind of place is this?"
The Tenth Master said, "I don't know either. Anyway, it was Ninth Brother who brought me here."
Jiu Ye raised his chin with a hint of pride. "I've been in business for many years, and I only have my own abilities. Don't you know that people outside call me a business genius? Follow me, and you'll have all kinds of benefits in the future, don't you understand?"
Shi Ye and Wen Jiu looked at each other, then turned and walked past him.
"Let's have some tea, Sister-in-law Xiao Si, would you like to join us?"
"Okay, I'm thirsty."
"Hey, hey, hey!" Seeing the two people like this, Jiu Ye immediately pulled them back and said, "Where are you going? You haven't finished talking yet."
Seeing the two of them staring at each other with eyes that looked like they were enjoying the show, Jiu Ye finally coughed and said, "Ahem, well, I'm just talking about business. Doesn't Little Fourth Sister-in-law want to buy that Western Region Snow Lotus? It won't fetch much at the pharmacy, and besides, he's probably too young to eat it. There's an auction this month, so I might as well take it here. Good stuff should naturally be sold in a big place."
After hearing this, Wen Jiu smiled brightly: "Master Jiu is indeed very far-sighted. I could never have imagined this."
"Hehe, be low-key, be low-key." Jiu Ye was immediately praised and his face was full of smiles again.
The Tenth Master couldn't help rolling his eyes. Why did he feel that the Ninth Brother was not very smart today?
After thinking about it carefully, he frowned again. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Sister-in-law No. 4 had never praised him like this before.
Thinking of this, his expression became even more resentful.
The Ninth Master didn't even look at the Tenth Master. He rubbed his hands and said, "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, hurry up and take out that Western Region Snow Lotus. To this day, no one has ever seen what it looks like. Hurry and take a look at it. Someone will come to appraise it soon, and it will be sold later. I'm afraid it will be hard to see again in the future."
Wenjiu responded, then pretended to rummage in his sleeves and took out a Western Region snow lotus from the space.
"This...this...this is the Snow Lotus of the Western Regions!"
The Ninth Master and the Tenth Master both looked over with their eyes wide open.
The pure white lotus blossomed softly, and a faint silver halo spread out. The light was bright, cool and gentle. As the lotus was taken out, an extremely clear breath came to one's face, and taking a deep breath felt smoother.
Jiu Ye originally wanted to reach out and touch it, but when he got close, he hesitated. He wiped his hands on his clothes several times before gently touching the petals.
But then, his eyes widened again: "That's not right! The Western Regions are not close to the capital, how can this flower be preserved so well? The Western Regions snow lotus I've seen before were all dried, but this one... looks like it was just picked! Little Fourth Sister-in-law, where did you get it from?"
Wen Jiu: "I naturally have my own way."
Jiu Ye: "Impossible, this is simply impossible!"
Wen Jiu: "What's impossible? Even if it's the snow lotus from the Western Regions, doesn't it still grow in the same water and soil? Can't we just transport it back together with the water and soil?"
Jiu Ye still felt something was amiss, but when he saw the rhizome of the snow lotus, he suddenly felt unwell. His chin trembled with anger, and he pointed at Wen Jiu with trembling fingers: "You...you...how could you put the Western Region Snow Lotus in your sleeve?"
Wenjiu blinked. "Where should I put it? Or should I find a jar to seal it up?"
The Tenth Master nodded seriously: "That's great. Find a nicer looking jar, maybe you can even get some more silver."
Jiu Ye stared at the two men in shock, almost suffocating from their anger.
He then carefully protected the snow lotus and said to the guards worriedly, "Go, hurry up and find something decent to pack this up."
The guard responded and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Not long after, Wenjiu saw that the Western Region Snow Lotus was carefully placed in a jade box by Jiu Ye.
Wen Jiu looked at the jade box and couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Good fellow, are you sure that my Western Region Snow Lotus is more valuable than your box?"
What a beautiful jade box this is!
Wenjiu has developed a keen eye for jade thanks to the jewelry that the Fourth Master often sends her. Now, she can distinguish the quality of jade.
Such a natural jade box is always a great item, not to mention that it is carved with complicated patterns. I am afraid that such craftsmanship has been lost now, right?
If this game were in someone else's home, it would definitely be a family heirloom.
"How much do you despise the Western Region Snow Lotus?" He rolled his eyes and said, "Good things need to be packaged in the best boxes. You're insulting the Western Region Snow Lotus by using a shabby box!"
Warming wine: "......"
Suddenly I remembered the pile of things in the sack...
