Chapter 725: You Have to Buy It No Matter How Expensive It Is
Li Mu knew that Zhan Chi and Dean Chen had a good relationship in the past, so he hurried into the city most likely to look for Dean Chen, otherwise why would he follow him to Nanyuan.
There is absolutely no way that Beili would celebrate Chen Rentian's birthday, not even Zhan Chi, as the general of Beili.
"Go and get him back."
"yes."
"etc."
"Master Li, do you have any other instructions?"
"You don't have to go yet. Come with me to the major shops in the city to see if there is anything that catches your eye." Li Mu stood up, straightened his clothes and walked out the door.
The captain of the guards hurried to follow.
In Dayu City, almost everyone knew that Old Chen and Old Prince Feng celebrated their birthdays on the same day. Xiyan Trading Company also received two invitations. After some thought, they decided to give priority to the royal family.
The envoys of Dongwei Trading Company only received the invitation from Prince Feng, but did not receive the invitation to Mr. Chen’s birthday. However, everyone in the city, from the royal descendants and nobles to the merchants in Dayu City, received the invitation to Mr. Chen’s birthday.
Only Dongwei did not have it. The envoy of Dongwei Trading Company even mocked Mr. Chen harshly for being so arrogant despite not having a nationality.
Dongyi is not inferior to celebrating an old man's birthday.
The streets in the city are very busy. After receiving the invitation, people naturally have to prepare birthday gifts, so the jade and antique shops everywhere are packed today.
Ye Qianning walked around the city for a long time. Every curio shop was packed with people and sold a lot of things. No one would buy cheap goods to celebrate the old prince's birthday.
So she asked Old Man Qian to inform all the shop owners that the prices of all high-end items in each store would be tripled. This made people who went to buy birthday gifts look worried, but they had to pay a high price.
Because Prince Feng’s birthday is just a few days away, the nearest city to Dayu City requires several days’ walk. Even if you can make the round trip in time, there are no curio shops in the surrounding cities.
To attend the birthday banquet of Old Prince Feng, you have to buy it no matter how expensive it is.
Ye Qianning walked around a few streets and was very satisfied. Because of the birthday banquet of Old Prince Feng, all the antiques in Dayu City were about to be moved out, and Gu Shuo could make a lot of money.
Moreover, she took out more than ten priceless items from the space and placed them in each store as treasures, with the price set at over 100,000 taels of gold.
If you have the ability, you should curry favor with others. If you want to show off to a distinguished guest, you will never miss it. When it is time to cheat, you must cheat.
"Sister Ye."
Ye Qianning looked up and saw Jiang Yue waving at her happily not far away.
"Sister Ye, what a coincidence." Jiang Yue ran over through the crowd.
"Well, it's a coincidence."
"Sister Ye, did you see your father yesterday?" Jiang Yue asked.
"How do you know my father?" Ye Qianning was curious.
"Yesterday outside the city, your father beat up the Huo family. He was so powerful and scary." Jiang Yue still felt a lingering fear when she thought of the group of black-robed men yesterday.
Ye Qianning was even more puzzled: "Why did my father beat them?"
Dad probably didn’t know she was in Dayu City yesterday.
"It's that Huo Liran again. She's foul-mouthed and was scolding you as she walked. Your father heard it."
“…”
It is something that Huo Liran can do.
"Ms. Ye." Jiang Chenyi walked over from behind.
Ye Qianning nodded as a greeting.
"Dayu City is really lively. Sister Ye, let's go together." Jiang Yue was delighted.
"No, I still need to go buy some things."
"What does Sister Ye want to buy?"
"Birthday gift."
"Sister Ye, did you get an invitation too?" Jiang Yue was surprised, but then she thought of how impressive her father was yesterday. "That's right, Sister Ye is obviously not an ordinary person. How could she not get an invitation? We are not that lucky."
"Miss Ye also received two invitations?" Jiang Chenyi heard that many people were holding two invitations when they entered the city.
"One, an invitation to Mr. Chen's birthday party."
"It's Mr. Chen's birthday invitation? That's perfect. My brother said that he admires Mr. Chen very much and wants to visit him. He also needs to choose some gifts. Why don't we go together?" Jiang Yue was delighted again when she heard that.
Ye Qianning thought about it, and before she could reply, Jiang Yue had already taken her arm and led her forward.
"Sister Ye, let's go, these are all for Mr. Chen, it's better to choose together."
Ye Qianning was helpless: "Okay."
Jiang Chenyi was a little disappointed when she heard her refusal, but now seeing her sister pestering her, she nodded, a look of joy flashing across her face, and she hurried a few steps to catch up: "Miss Ye, I'm really sorry to trouble you."
"It's okay, I just happen to want to buy some things too." Ye Qianning said with a smile.
"Miss Ye knows Mr. Chen?" Jiang Chenyi was curious.
"Yes, I saw him a few times when I went to Loushan Academy with my father when I was a child."
"Miss Ye actually attended Loushan Academy when she was a child?" Jiang Chenyi's eyes lit up. "I heard that Loushan Academy is the most learned place in the Four Kingdoms. No wonder I felt that Miss Ye had an extraordinary temperament the moment I saw her."
"Mr. Jiang, you are too kind."
"My brother's dream when he was little was to go to Loushan Academy." Jiang Yue glanced at his elder brother.
"As long as you study hard and don't miss the entrance exam, it's easy to study at Loushan." Loushan admitted students based on their academic performance.
"My brother was a very good student and was sure to pass the exam. However, my father later said he would send him to Loushan, but he didn't want to go anymore, so he enrolled in Nanyuan College."
"Oh? Why don't you go?"
"Because Dean Chen left the academy, it seems that within two years, the master was also expelled from the academy by the royal family. The Loushan Academy has now been renamed the Royal Academy. Its reputation and knowledge have plummeted. Who would want to go there?"
Ye Qianning didn't know that the master had also been moved to the academy. Loushan Academy was the master's life's work. The Emperor of Beili turned the academy into a royal academy. How shameless!
"Yue'er, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Chenyi scolded.
"You're not saying that. I heard everything you said to Dad back then. You were the one who said that we went to Loushan Academy out of respect for Master Chen's knowledge, and that there was no need to go now that he was gone." Jiang Yue tilted her head and sneered, "Did you say that, huh? Tell me, did you say that?"
Jiang Chenyi glared at her: "Miss Ye, don't listen to her nonsense."
Ye Qianning just smiled and praised: "Mr. Chen is indeed very knowledgeable."
"Yes, I often read his books when I was a child and benefited a lot from them."
"What does Mr. Jiang want to buy?"
"Well, I'm worried too. Mr. Chen is highly respected, but he has many books and seal scripts, but I can't show him anything. Gold, silver and porcelain seem too tacky. I've been shopping for a long time but still can't make a choice. I wonder what Miss Ye wants to give me?"
"The Four Treasures of the Study."
"good."
"Mr. Jiang, don't worry about the gift. Mr. Chen judges the person by the gift, not the gift." Ye Qianning said this when he saw that he was worried about the gift.
Jiang Chenyi nodded slightly: "Thank you Miss Ye for your advice."
"Sister Ye, look, there are a lot of people gathered in front. Let's go over and take a look."
There was a noisy crowd at the entrance of Ji Shengtang. Inside the shop, two groups of people were arguing with each other until their faces turned red and their necks were thick.
