Chapter 187: When one plan fails, try another
"If I'm guessing correctly, this thing must have been made ten years ago. At that time, several jade pits were unearthed outside the capital. Although the jade was quite good, the amount of jade on the market suddenly increased several times. With so many rare items, the value of these things decreased. Otherwise, people wouldn't say that these jades are priceless or even priceless. Princess, do you think I'm right?"
Regarding this matter, Songci is almost certain to win.
What was this jade ruyi? In her previous life, her father had given her a jade pillow. It was so large, and the jade was pure white and flawless. She had thought it was very expensive. Using such a large piece of jade as a pillow was like sleeping on a pillow of gold. What difference was there?
Who would have thought that Song Lao San would wave his hand and say with a smile: "Well! Those who can see the origin of this thing will know that it is not valuable, but those who can't see it will think it is valuable."
He then explained the origin of the jade and the situation at that time.
At that time, this jade could be purchased for only ten taels.
Ten taels is not a small amount, but this is a pillow made of a large piece of jade, so it is already very cheap.
"You, how did you know that?" The princess was so angry that her face turned pale and her lips began to tremble.
She was angry. She had come up with so many tricks today, but she couldn't embarrass Song Ci!
This is really making me angry to death.
She also hoped that Song Ci's disgrace today would reach Pei Ji's ears, and the other party would be disgusted with Song Ci, a vulgar and lowly person from a small family.
Unexpectedly, none of them succeeded. How could she not be angry? She was already lucky enough to be able to maintain a smile on her face.
"Come to think of it, my family has some friendship with the Zhang family in Beijing. I just found out about it when I happened to hear an elder mention it. It was just luck." She smiled nonchalantly, but in the eyes of the princess, it was no different from blatant boasting.
Or should she just capture this little bitch and paint her face?
No. She quickly rejected the idea.
If she really did this, what would happen if Pei Ji investigated and found out it was her who did it?
Or should we just have this articulate bitch dragged out and sold to some lowly place?
But none of these plans could be foolproof. If Pei Ji found out, she would have no hope at all and could only swallow her anger.
It doesn't matter, she still has one last solution.
After the farce ended, the princess stood up and said she wanted to go back to change her clothes. Everyone was free to do as they pleased. People gathered in groups of three or four to talk and drink tea.
Miss Xu took the initiative to step forward and said, "Miss Song San is really amazing." Her voice was direct and frank, which made Song Ci feel somewhat favorable towards her.
"Thank you, Miss Xu."
The other party waved his hand and said, "I really think you are amazing. You have solved so many difficult problems today, one by one. It is us who have been learning from childhood who seem inferior."
Song Ci smiled. How could the other party know that he had also learned it?
But she couldn't explain this.
Miss Jiang also came over soon, and the three of them sat together and started talking and laughing for a while.
Song Rouxi thought Song Ci would be left alone, and was chatting with other ladies. She turned around to look at Song Ci, but saw her talking to Xu and Jiang, and seemed very happy. She immediately became very dissatisfied.
Among all these young ladies, these two have outstanding family backgrounds.
But it seems like there is something wrong with his eyes. He can't think straight and has to make friends with a bitch like Song Ci. He is really blind.
Song Ci and others didn't know her dirty thoughts, and even if they did, they would just laugh it off.
Song Ci is calm and measured in his speech. Miss Xu is direct in her words but has a very good temperament. Miss Jiang is meticulous and careful. The three of them get along very well.
At this moment, the maid who served tea lost her balance and the water in the teacup spilled directly onto Song Ci.
Immediately, a cluster of inky-colored flowers bloomed on the hem of the skirt.
With a "thump", the maid knelt down and begged for mercy: "Miss, it was my fault. Please don't make it public, otherwise the princess will definitely kick me out. I will have no way out."
As she spoke, she kowtowed heavily and begged for mercy, which made the three of them look at each other in bewilderment.
Miss Xu was displeased. "You were the one who splashed water on Miss Song San. Why are you crying? It seems like we're bullying you."
Miss Jiang pursed her lips and said nothing, but Song Ci smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, stand up and talk, don't kneel."
The people around were already looking over here, and Song Ci also wanted to hear what the maid wanted to say.
The maid stood up and lowered her voice, "Miss, your skirt is wet, it doesn't look good. We have some clothes prepared in the house. Why don't you come with me to change."
There was still some time before the party ended, and there was such a large wet spot on her skirt that she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.
Song Ci thought about it, then stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go change with you."
Just as she was about to leave, Miss Jiang tugged at her sleeve, "You maid, your family has prepared clothes, how do you know if the size is suitable for Miss Song San?"
The maidservant obviously didn't expect the other party to ask this question. She stuttered for a while but couldn't say anything.
"I don't know if it will fit... Miss Song needs to try it on."
Although Song Ci had no doubts just now, she became suspicious immediately. This maid was talking incoherently, with her eyes rolling around, and there was something strange about her.
She also realized that Miss Jiang pulled her sleeve just now to remind her.
It’s Miss Jiang’s fault for being so meticulous!
"In that case, take me there." She stood up, and Tian'er followed closely behind her.
Today, thinking that the princess had bad intentions, she deliberately brought Tian'er but not Wanxiang, thinking that the other party had martial arts skills and could help her deal with special situations if she encountered any. And sure enough, she came up with some skills.
Miss Jiang saw that Song Ci understood, but still decided to go, so she did not stop him. During the conversation just now, she could see that Song Ci was a smart person, and smart people would not do stupid things. If he was willing to go, he must be very confident.
She simply left it alone.
Although we met today, it takes time to reveal a person's true character. Her reminder is the best we can do for today.
Song Ci followed the maid forward. The maid looked back at her from time to time and glanced at Wanxiang by the way.
"You are not allowed to wander around the Princess's Mansion. Miss, why don't you ask your maid to wait outside..."
Song Ci was immediately displeased. "If she leaves, who will help me get dressed? You? I'm not familiar with you, and I don't like strangers getting close to me."
The maid who had thought Song Ci was easy to talk to and wanted to take advantage of her immediately turned pale, stopped talking, and walked straight ahead.
After walking for a long time, she keenly noticed that the surrounding environment was becoming increasingly quiet, and they seemed to have walked into a very secluded place in the princess's mansion.
Sure enough, there is something wrong with this weird girl!
The maid pushed open a door. The room was pitch black and backlit. It was hard to see what was inside from the door. She pointed and said, "This is it. The clothes are ready. Miss, go in and change first."
