Soon the people below noticed the bright diamond around Luo Ningxin's neck.
They all asked curiously: "What is that glowing thing?"
"I don't know. Since Miss Luo Ningxin wears it close to her body, it must be a rare treasure given by a young master!"
"I don't know what this is or how much it's worth, but it must be invaluable."
Fang Zhengyi observed everyone's reactions and nodded. It seemed that it was working.
No one has been able to escape from shiny things since ancient times.
Soon, after Luo Ningxin finished playing a song, the people below began to ask questions loudly to the people above.
"Excuse me, what kind of jewelry is Miss Ningxin wearing? Could you explain it to us?"
Luo Ningxin poked her head out and saw Fang Zhengyi who was watching from downstairs. She smiled and said, "It seems that everyone is curious about the jewelry Ningxin is wearing today, so Ningxin won't keep it a secret."
"This object is called diamond, which represents the world's everlasting love. Ningxin has heard people say that diamonds are forever and one diamond will last forever."
"True love is eternal, and diamonds are the proof. I sincerely wish all of you can find the love of your life."
After saying that, he turned around and went into the house.
Someone downstairs shouted again: "Miss Ningxin, can you tell me who gave this to you?!"
Luo Ningxin had already stepped half a step into the house, but suddenly stopped when she heard these words.
After hesitating for a while, he turned around and looked at Fang Zhengyi who was chatting with Li Yuanzhao downstairs, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"This diamond was given to me by Mr. Fang Zhengyi!" After saying this, he went straight back to the house.
The crowd was shocked when they got the answer.
"Fang Zhengyi? Is that the infamous Fang Zhengyi?"
"You're wrong! He is a master of incomplete poems and is now the Chancellor of the Chancellery, replacing Yan Guoan."
"What a joke! Yan Guoan is the current top scholar. Fang Zheng, a worthless local official, must have used despicable means to deceive the prince."
“........”
Fang Zhengyi's face fell and he glanced gloomily towards the second floor.
What on earth does this woman want to do? If I ask you to bring the goods, you should do it well. Why don't you drag me into this...
Li Yuanzhao poked Fang Zhengyi and said jokingly, "I thought it was something else, but it turns out you're selling jewelry."
"Old Fang, you are quite capable! You managed to capture the courtesan without anyone noticing! I'll tell my sister about this!"
"Don't ruin my image in front of the princess. Do you still want the money?"
Fang Zhengyi felt a little overwhelmed. The more proactive Luo Ningxin was, the more alert he became, but he had no idea what was going on.
Logically speaking, there should be quite a few rich kids and high-ranking officials who are close to Luo Ningxin. There is no reason for this kind of behavior...
Could it be that he admired his literary talent? Fang Zhengyi himself did not believe it.
"Lao Fang! What are you thinking about?!" Li Yuanzhao poked him again when he saw him in a daze.
"What is a diamond? Can this thing represent love?"
Fang Zheng came back to his senses and smiled without saying anything.
Broken glass, of course, can represent love. Love is so fragile, it is much more suitable than diamonds.
The crowd under Zangxiang Pavilion began to disperse. Fang Zheng waved towards his stall, and the dancers who had been hiding behind it began to appear on the street.
The three of them started dancing in a row, and the people behind them began to put diamond rings on the stage and loudly advertised them to the crowd.
“A diamond is forever”
"The flickering light is my flickering love"
“Luxury blooms with diamonds”
A series of advertising slogans shouted out by the "shopping guide", the sexy and graceful dance, plus Luo Ningxin's previous promotion, instantly caught the attention of many people.
Crowds of people swarmed in front of the stall, vying to look at the diamonds on the table.
"This is a diamond! It is really beautiful! How much is this ring? Give me one!" A wealthy man made a direct offer.
"My dear guest, this medium-sized diamond only costs one hundred taels each, and we can also provide you with a professional appraisal certificate."
When they heard the price of one hundred taels per coin, most of the crowd dispersed immediately.
A hundred taels to buy a broken ring, isn't that a life-threatening thing? And it looks very small. This amount of money is enough to buy a large piece of beautiful jade.
Upon seeing this, Fang Zheng immediately turned into a dog-sitter and approached the crowd, loudly questioning: "Isn't this a shady shop? How can you sell it at such a high price!"
When the "shopping guide" saw that it was Fang Zhengyi, he covered his mouth and laughed, and began to introduce the details according to the previous script.
"Don't worry, everyone. You may not know that this item is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth... Even the ring base is made of 999 pure silver... Eight hearts and eight arrows... The prince also wanted to have fun with the people on this day, so he reluctantly smashed this treasure into pieces and made it into jewelry to celebrate the Prayer Festival."
Fang Zheng suddenly realized something and shouted, "So that's it! It's actually the prince's most precious treasure! It's really not expensive! In other words, it will be gone after it is smashed. If it is kept for a few years, won't the price of this treasure go through the roof?"
"Give me two necklaces!"
"My dear guest, our necklace is inlaid with large diamonds, so the price is three hundred taels each..."
\"Only three hundred taels! Give me three and a ring to make it even!\"
Fang Zhengyi paid the money without hesitation, and the "shopping guide" put the necklace in an exquisite porcelain box and handed it to Fang Zhengyi.
This old trick from the begging days has been reworked and is clearly showing results.
When everyone saw someone start to do this, they couldn't help but be tempted. If the things were sold at such a high price, everyone might be suspicious, but when the prince was brought out, they had to believe it. Which unscrupulous businessman would dare to do this in public? Would he not want to lose his head?
The "shopping guide" immediately shouted, "Three necklaces have been sold... there are 97 left, first come first served! After this one is sold out, there will be no more diamonds for sale in the world!"
Someone in the crowd asked, "How much is that small diamond ring?"
"Seventy-nine taels!"
“Come one!”
"There are only ninety-nine small diamond rings left!"
The crowd was gradually mobilized, and Fang Zhengyi rushed from left to right, constantly making a fuss in the crowd.
Li Yuanzhao and the other two stood awkwardly outside the crowd watching Fang Zhengyi's performance.
"Old Fang is lying again..." Li Yuanzhao was speechless and felt a little embarrassed.
Zhang Biao nodded, but said, "Young Master never lies!"
Bai Yi glanced at the two of them, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at Fang Zhengyi helplessly.
He is not lying, he is just eating people! But...it seems that the diamond is really a good thing...it is so beautiful, but I can't afford it...
Emotions are contagious, and the number of people buying diamonds is becoming more and more intense.
Some of them wanted to give it to their beloved women, while others valued its appreciation prospects.
Although all the customers who come to this area are rich men, there are still very few people who can easily take out a hundred taels of silver to buy a piece of jewelry.
Encouraged by the crowd, many people became greedy and gritted their teeth to spend all the money they had on buying rings.
If you can't afford the big one, buy a small one! Anyway, you must buy one!
This is the prince’s most precious treasure!
