The treasures on the fifth floor are auctioned off by secret means, but with a new set of rules.
If the price is more than twice the listed price, you can buy it directly.
Without the slightest hesitation, Helian Chaolu declared that she would take it for 20,000.
Pei Xueqiao was dumbfounded.
His father's calligraphy was worth 20,000 taels! It's not even worth a few hundred taels.
Besides, he had overheard the Sixth Prince muttering to himself. How could his father possibly make things easy for someone just because they bought one of his calligraphy works?
Just as he was about to speak to stop her, a cold glance came his way.
Hmm...
The leg that had just been raised was silently retracted.
"No, the reputation of the Prime Minister's residence cannot be damaged!"
It's just buying and selling; one party is willing to sell, and the other is willing to buy—there's nothing wrong with that.
No, it clearly implies using this calligraphy as a stepping stone.
She didn't say anything, her father probably just got excited when he heard someone was buying his calligraphy for a high price, but he doesn't know how to handle things properly..."
My thoughts were pulled back and forth, and in the end, the calligraphy had already been put away.
"Princess, shall we go up and take another look?"
"OK."
It was clear that Helian Chaolu was not interested in the other two treasures.
Qin Zhaoyue didn't force them at all and led them upstairs, only to find that the sixth floor was completely empty.
"This is?"
Ignoring everyone's surprise, Qin Zhaoyue remained calm and instructed the servant who was following her, "Bring tea and some snacks."
"yes."
After everyone left, Qin Zhaoyue calmly walked forward and pushed open the door of the pot.
The circular corridor projecting outward from the tower is supported by brackets or wooden structures, with railings around it, and tea tables and stools set up on the corridor.
This was also her idea; high-level members should always have some privileges.
Originally, this idea was intended for the seventh floor, but we couldn't come up with anything better, so we'll just have to make do with this for now.
"Please sit down. Don't worry, the railings here have been reinforced, and the tea table and stools have been nailed down. It's safe and secure."
Helian Chaolu was stunned on the spot, and her face turned pale at a visible speed.
From where she is now, she can roughly see the scene outside, but once she steps outside...
Qin Zhaoyue took the initiative to step forward and personally led the sugar daddy's sister out.
She felt a clear struggle, but didn't pay attention.
And so, Helian Chaolu was led into the corridor, her legs trembling.
"Don't be afraid, it's safe."
He led her to the tea table, pressed her shoulders to help her sit down, and sat upright in the middle himself.
Helian Chaolu pursed her lips into a thin line.
Having lived on the grasslands my whole life, with the highest place I've ever been on horseback, I've never experienced such a height.
He gripped the stool legs tightly with both hands, staring blankly ahead.
Qin Zhaoyue turned around, "What, does Lord Pei also need me to hold his hand?"
Pei Xueqiao straightened her chest instantly, clenched her fists, and strode forward.
However, the steps became shorter and shorter, and my heart trembled the moment I stepped into the corridor.
"I'm not scared, I'm not scared at all~~~"
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Zhaoyue turn around and stop staring at him.
He stretched out his foot to reach the stool, moved over in a flash, and sat upright with his upper body ramrod straight.
A slight smile appeared on Qin Zhaoyue's lips as she tilted her head back, enjoying the gentle breeze on her face.
What's this height to her? She's a woman who's walked on glass walkways and bungee jumped.
"The most valuable thing in this Treasure Pavilion is the view right in front of us."
Qin Zhaoyue wasn't being arrogant at all; there were only a handful of seven-story towers in the entire Fengjing.
Sitting here, one can see several surrounding markets, including bustling places like the East Market, Langyin Market, and Qionggui Market.
Moreover, the angle was carefully chosen; it wasn't directly facing the imperial city to avoid any taboos, but by turning to the side, one could still catch a glimpse of it.
With this view, who can say it's not expensive?
Before long, tea and snacks were served.
"Don't be shy, it's on me."
Qin Zhaoyue ignored the two people beside her, calmly ate her snacks, and sipped her tea.
He appeared calm and collected on the surface, but inside he was practically bursting with joy.
Who would have thought that Prime Minister Pei's calligraphy would sell for 20,000?
I just got it two days ago, I haven't even had a chance to use it properly yet!
All things considered, Helian Chaolu's total consumption was close to 50,000 taels, and her net profit was at least 30,000 taels.
They're making a killing!
It was nearly noon when the group finally came downstairs.
When Helian Chaolu stood firmly on solid ground outside the Treasure Pavilion, she couldn't help but stop and look up again.
My heart trembled when I was in the heat of the moment, yet suddenly some thoughts arose within me.
The feeling of standing high above and looking down on all living beings...
Alright, the job is done and the money is earned. Qin Zhaoyue didn't intend to treat anyone to lunch and immediately took her leave.
She glanced lightly at Pei Xueqiao, who stood straight to the side.
Some people may look upright and proper, but they're probably just as disgusting inside.
He boarded the carriage and rode away, leaving behind only Suimo and Moyi.
The saying goes, "It's good to have the money in hand," and she shouldered an important mission.
With no outsiders present, Qin Zhaoyue stopped putting on airs and her smile almost reached her ears.
A profit of over 30,000 taels of silver, well done!
Upon returning to the mansion, he instructed the kitchen staff to prepare extra food for everyone.
Now that we've made money, let the whole family share in this joy.
Just as they were enjoying their wine, Sui Mo and Mo Yi returned, carrying a hefty five thousand taels of gold!
He slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed, "Okay, this girl is someone I can get along with!"
In my excitement, I drank two extra ounces of alcohol.
After removing her hairpins and jewelry, wiping off her makeup, and changing into comfortable home clothes, she became languid and unruly again.
Yin Zhe appeared silently, its expression strange beneath the veil.
This girl has made money again, and on a big scale.
