Chapter 1742: Is this price worthy of the sandalwood?
Yes, why did they fall out?
Tang Bao also wants to know.
"I heard that the saint has someone she loves and doesn't want to be the high priest anymore." Someone said mysteriously.
"Impossible! Is there any man in this world who can compare to the high priest?" someone immediately retorted.
"Who do you think Miss Ayi Na's father is?"
"Could it be the high priest?"
"No! When Miss Ayi Na was born, the Saint and the High Priest had already fallen out."
"That doesn't mean Miss Aina isn't the High Priest's daughter..."
Celebrity gossip is always the topic that people are most interested in.
Even the prestige of the high priest and the saint could not suppress the people's enthusiasm and curiosity about gossip.
So, the topic naturally changed direction.
The people were speculating about who Ayi Na's biological father was.
Tang Bao pricked up her ears and listened with great interest.
It turned out that the people in southern Xinjiang were also extremely curious about whose child the saint's daughter was.
Tang Bao was also curious.
However, compared to being curious about Aina's life experience, she was more curious about what kind of woman the saint was.
The silhouette at the city gate gave Tang Bao an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
At the same time, Tang Bao also had to sigh at the open customs of the people in southern Xinjiang.
Here, it is common for women to get pregnant before marriage or have multiple men at the same time.
"Speaking of which, the women of Southern Xinjiang and Western Qin have quite high social and family status," Princess Linghua sighed. "Only the women of Dayan are the most pitiful. Men can have three wives and four concubines, but women are required to be faithful to one man."
Upon hearing this, Xia Siya felt the same way and said, "That's exactly the case! In Dayan, women will be ridiculed and mocked if they even have their engagement broken off, let alone having multiple men. It will be difficult for them to marry into a good family."
When Da Pan heard this, he immediately held Xia Siya's hand and said, "I will definitely treat you well in the future and make those women who gossip about you envy you!"
A shy smile appeared on Xia Siya's face, but her eyes were sparkling and unusually bright.
That day she secretly ran away from home and joined the diplomatic team, having made up her mind to never marry.
Who would have thought that I could find such a pure and beautiful love in a foreign country thousands of miles away?
"I believe you!" Xia Siya said, holding Da Pan's hand.
"I should really thank those people for being blind." Shi Liu said quickly, "Good things take time. Miss Siya is a blessed person and doesn't need to rush. Those random people are not worthy of Miss Siya. Only our eldest grandson is the right match for Miss Siya!"
As soon as Shi Liu finished speaking, Tang Bao nodded repeatedly.
She refused to admit that she had used some tricks to help her eldest nephew in Sister Siya's marriage.
After hearing enough gossip, everyone started to stroll around with great interest.
People in southern Xinjiang like to wear silver jewelry, so there are many small stalls selling silver jewelry on the streets.
People are not interested in silver jewelry, but they are quite fond of those bamboo and wooden gadgets.
"Miss, this wooden hairpin is beautiful... Oh, this comb is also beautiful..."
Pomegranate picked up a wooden hairpin and then wanted to pick up a comb.
Xia Siya and Princess Linghua also picked up their favorite gadgets.
"I want this... and this, this..."
Princess Linghua said this while giving all the things she liked to Erpan.
Erpan stood there patiently, with a wooden face, playing the role of a bag-carrying tool.
He just didn't understand, what was so good about these things?
Isn’t the rice wine in the tavern next door delicious?
You know, the rice wine in southern Xinjiang is well-known.
Erpan looked at Dapan.
Xia Siya also stuffed a bunch of things into Da Pan's arms.
However, compared to Erpan's helplessness, Dapan had an expression of enjoyment on his face.
"Wow! This little flower basket is so beautiful!"
As Xia Siya spoke, she held up a small bamboo flower basket in front of Da Pan.
"Does it look good?" Xia Siya asked excitedly.
"nice!"
Da Pan looked at Xia Siya with gentle eyes, his handsome face full of doting.
Er Pan: “…”
The tacit understanding between him and his elder brother was lost again.
Xuanyuan Jin stood behind Tang Bao, glanced at Da Pan and Er Pan's hands full of things, moved his fingers, and felt that his hands were a little empty.
"What do you like?" Xuanyuan Jin asked.
Tang Bao didn't answer. Her eyes fell on a string of white bracelets, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
No way?
Could it be that this bracelet is made of sandalwood?
Tang Bao picked up the bracelet, looked at it carefully, and handed it to Xuanyuan Jin.
"Brother, look at this bracelet." Tang Bao said.
Xuanyuan Jin took the bracelet and his pupils shrank slightly.
——White sandalwood!
Xuanyuan Jin nodded at Tang Bao.
"Uncle, how much is this bracelet?" Tang Bao looked at the old man selling the goods and asked.
"Fifty cents."
The old man said it was a very cheap price.
Tang Bao: “…”
The expression is hard to describe.
Is this price worthy of the sandalwood?
Although, the workmanship of this bracelet is far inferior to the one given to her by the Empress Dowager.
But, Mu Mu’s starting point is high!
——White sandalwood!
Seeing Tang Bao's silent expression, the old man thought that he had asked for too much, so he quickly said with a smile: "Since you bought a lot of things, if you like this bracelet, I will give it to you as a gift."
Tang Bao: “…”
If you, old man, could just say less, the sandalwood would be able to save some face.
——Fifty cents of face.
Well, perhaps in the old man's eyes, these fifty cents are not the face of the sandalwood, but the processing fee of the driver's bracelet.
"Uncle, do you still have this kind of wood?" Tang Bao asked, raising her bracelet.
As Tang Bao asked, everyone else looked over.
Tang Bao has a sandalwood bracelet, and they all know it.
After all, it was a gift from the Empress Dowager.
There is only one string of Dayan in the whole world, which is extremely rare.
"Su Tang, this wood can't be..." sandalwood?
Princess Linghua didn't finish her words and gave Tang Bao a surprised look.
She believed that Tang Bao understood what she meant.
Tang Bao naturally understands!
Tang Bao nodded.
Princess Linghua: "..."
As expected, I was not lucky enough to get a bargain on Taobao!
She had also seen the bracelet a long time ago, but she only glanced at it.
It was just a pair of bracelets with nothing special about them, so naturally she didn't like it.
But now he finds that he has missed out on 100 million.
Although Princess Linghua didn't say it, everyone knew it.
Everyone's eyes lit up and they all looked at the old man selling the goods.
Old man: “…”
Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes that were almost glowing green made me feel creepy.
"This girl is gone."
The old man spoke haltingly and Alexander shook his head.
Everyone's face showed disappointment.
"But I have a set of furniture made of this wood at home."
The old man added another sentence as if possessed by some unknown reason.
After saying that, he almost slapped himself in the face.
How did he say that?
After hearing what the old man said, Tang Bao's eyes sparkled with dazzling light.
The others also looked like dead trees coming back to life with spring, their faces showing new vitality and hope.
"Uncle, are you selling that set of furniture?" Tang Bao asked tentatively with full of hope.
If I buy this and give it to the Queen Mother, she will definitely be very happy.
Tang Bao believed that compared to the jades she had given her, the Queen Mother must prefer a set of sandalwood furniture.
Not only that, Tang Bao could also conclude that the Empress Dowager would definitely place the sandalwood furniture in the small Buddhist hall in Ci'an Palace.
