Chapter 270: Boss Shang, you are dishonest, you cheat people out of their money
Was it her fault?
Lin Qingjun's eyebrows twitched.
Boss Shang was someone she had met in her previous life, so why would she harm her? But looking at Shang Jianqiu's expression, it didn't seem like she was lying.
But if she really hurt her accidentally this time, she still had to apologize.
But when he saw Shang Jianqiu bringing them into the back room of Qianzi Pavilion, Boss Shang looked around like a thief, and then closed the doors and windows.
Xieyang was shocked when he saw this. Could it be that the proprietress was trying to murder their young lady?
But when Shang Jianqiu took out a big box and took something out of the box, after opening it layer by layer, two golden things were revealed.
They were stunned.
Xiyang pointed at the two gold ingots in disbelief.
"You, you, you, don't tell me that you brought us here like thieves and even closed the doors and windows just for this little thing and said my young lady harmed you."
Shang Jianqiu said in disbelief, "What do you mean by a small amount? This, this is two gold bars, a full twenty taels, how can this be a small amount? One of these bars can buy two of my Qianzi Pavilions."
Shang Jianqiu's heart trembled.
"From my childhood to my adulthood, I've never seen such a large amount of silver. How can I not be careful? Not to mention being a thief, even if I were a robber, I would protect this thing well."
The doors and windows were closed for this reason. If someone knew about this, what would she do?
this?
Lin Qingjun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Boss Shang, I understand what you mean. We are just ordinary people, earning a living. These twenty taels of gold are indeed a bit too much, and..."
Lin Qingjun looked at the gold carefully and thought about it.
"The purity of this gold is extremely high. It's not something that ordinary people can come up with. Boss Shang, who gave it to you?"
No wonder Shang Jianqiu was so careful and wrapped it in layers. This thing must have a great origin, right?
The purity of gold is also divided into three levels: pure gold, 999 pure gold and 1000 pure gold.
Pure gold is the kind of jewelry that ordinary people have. It looks good, but compared with 999 gold, it is still a little inferior in quality.
Pure gold is even more valuable than 999 pure gold and is also a palace product. That is to say, only the ladies in the palace can use it. For example, the eight-tailed phoenix feather on Concubine Ning's head is made of pure gold, and it can shine even under the dim candlelight.
The gold in Shang Jianqiu's hand is not pure gold, but 999 pure gold.
That is to say.
"Which official lady gave this to you?"
Then this matter becomes complicated.
As a young lady from an official family, why did she give gold to the owner of Wanchongxuan instead of going to Wanchongxuan? Why did she give gold to the owner of Qianzige, a small-time boss?
Lin Qingjun looked at her strangely. Could it be that she had done something wrong?
Shang Jianqiu's face turned red from holding it in.
"What? Miss Lin, what are you thinking? I haven't done anything wrong. I'm a good citizen."
"Besides, this matter really has something to do with you."
ah?
Lin Qingjun was stunned again in the setting sun.
Shang Jianqiu sat down and spoke.
"Miss Lin Er, this is your 'warm home'."
"Warm Home"?
Lin Qingjun knew that this was one of the embroidery pieces she had put here to sell last time.
But what's wrong?
Shang Jianqiu told the story one by one.
She said that since she placed the embroidery here last time, she thought that such a good embroidery must not be sold at a low price and must not be insulted. Therefore, she took the initiative to set the price of the embroidery at twenty taels.
"...Twenty taels? Boss Shang, are you crazy because of poverty?" Xiyang was shocked.
Lin Qingjun rolled his eyes at Xieyang, who stuck out his tongue.
However, her price is indeed high.
Ten taels of silver can allow a farmer to live a good life for a year, and these twenty taels are enough for them to live for two years.
Shang Jianqiu said, "What do you know? That's a top-grade embroidery. You didn't see it. The embroidery is even better than the first-class embroiderers at Wanzhongxuan. They can sell smaller embroidery pieces for twenty taels, so why can't Miss Lin's? What's more, the meaning behind it is very good and its connotation is very profound. Twenty taels is considered low."
"Also, this is Shangjing, not a peasant village. How can twenty taels be too much?"
Xiyang stopped talking.
She was right. This was the capital. Twenty taels of silver could last a farmer two years, but here, it might just be a hairpin for a young lady. The place was different, so the price was naturally different.
Shang Jianqiu, "Don't interrupt me, I haven't finished yet."
"Maybe I set the price too high. After a while, no one came. Although there were some who liked it, they couldn't accept the price. That's why it has been delayed until now."
"But, just when I thought it was hopeless and wanted to lower the price, a young lady suddenly came in and asked me to take out my most valuable embroidery."
"I saw that young lady was very noble. Even the servants around her had golden hairpins as thick as little fingers in their hair."
"I thought, this is going to work, so I naturally took out your 'warm home' to calm the situation."
Speaking of this, Shang Jianqiu's eyes were full of pride.
"You'd never know, that young lady from the official family was so excited that she kept praising the embroidery, saying it was a hundred times better than the Fengqiuhuang embroidery from Wanzhongxuan."
"Of course this is good, but she didn't even look at who made it. 'Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix' is good, but that's been around for ages. Even the most skilled embroiderer would just be copying the old ones. There's no originality or depth to it. How can it compare to our 'Warm Home'?"
Embroidery is like this. Good luck and prosperity are good, but blooming flowers and wealth and birds paying homage to the phoenix are also very good.
But if the same old patterns are repeated over and over again, no matter how good the embroidery skills are or how lively the embroidery is, people will get tired of it one day.
Therefore, when "Warm Home" was released, it was definitely an eye-catching work. It was natural that it was favored by a wealthy official's daughter and she spent twenty taels of silver to buy it.
To be frank, this embroidery was kept in Qianzi Pavilion and was not sold until today. If it was kept in an embroidery shop like Wanchongxuan, it would be sold within an hour.
Xie Yang was puzzled. "This is a good thing. Since that young lady likes it, she can just buy it for twenty taels. But why has it become twenty taels of gold now? Boss Shang, you are dishonest. You cheated her out of her money."
Shang Jianqiu vomited blood, "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? Even if I want to make money, I won't be so cruel, right? I'm not from Wanzhongxuan."
Lin Qingjun also said, "If she really cheated people out of their money, she wouldn't have dragged us here like a thief and closed the doors and windows. Why don't you apologize to Boss Shang quickly?"
Xie Yang immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I hope Boss Shang won't take it to heart."
Boss Shang didn't care much. "You are someone close to Miss Lin Er, I trust you. Next, I will tell you why the twenty taels of silver turned into gold. It's because another lady came."
