Chapter 169 Zhao Shisun
Qin Jinzhi stood up. "Alright, Second Young Master, it's time to go to the next stage."
Cui Ying got up, put her hands behind her back, and leisurely went downstairs.
Seeing that the two were about to leave, the waiter quickly stepped forward and said, "I'll see you out."
These two are the most generous people he has ever met.
After getting into the car, Cui Ying exclaimed, "Just how rich is the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion!"
The carriage is decorated with jewels.
She said, "Why would someone disguise themselves and still ride in such an extravagant carriage?"
The two arrived at Mingzhenxuan.
After casually glancing at the items, Cui Ying was astonished by the prices of many of the jade pieces.
She walked up to Qin Jinzhi and whispered, "Why don't you rob Ming Zhenxuan? It's all about robbing money anyway, you and Ming Zhenxuan are just double-crossing each other."
Qin Jinzhi replied, "I'll take the biggest one, and you take a few smaller ones. Let's split up."
Cui Ying pouted, "This is damn expensive!"
But we still have to pretend.
"Isn't Mingzhenxuan the biggest jade shop in the capital? How come you only have these junk items and no good stuff?"
Cui Ying asked the shopkeeper with a look of disgust.
The shopkeeper saw that the two men were dressed and had a superior air about them, and immediately put on a smile.
"Gentlemen, you clearly have good taste. To be honest, the first floor only has ordinary items. If you'd like to see something better, please come upstairs."
Cui Ying looked at Xiao Zhen's figure at the door and tugged at Qin Jinzhi's sleeve.
The two exchanged a glance. "If you had something good, why didn't you bring it out sooner? We thought you were nothing special after all."
The shopkeeper's smile widened. "Please come upstairs, gentlemen."
Wealthy people from out of town are like easy prey.
Qin Jinzhi and Cui Ying followed the shopkeeper upstairs to the second floor.
The things on the second floor are indeed different.
Even Cui Ying was somewhat dumbfounded.
The shopkeeper asked, "What kind of items are you two looking for? May I introduce them to you?"
Cui Ying said, "I want to find a piece of fine jade to make a Buddha statue for my grandmother."
The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "You two are very lucky. We just received a piece of excellent jade from southern Xinjiang, which is perfect for making a Buddha statue."
He led the two to a jade box, where they saw a naturally formed piece of jade from southern Xinjiang. It was crystal clear and had a pale yellow color, making it a top-quality material for making jade Buddha statues.
Cui Ying asked, "How much is this?"
In fact, truly wealthy people wouldn't ask how much silver it costs, but the price of this Zhenxuan seemed to be outrageous, and she couldn't resist!
The shopkeeper's eyes darted around. "This Southern Ginger Jade is absolutely unique. There's only one piece in the world. Its value is 500,000 gold coins."
Qin Jinzhi smiled calmly. The jade from the Southern Frontier was indeed precious, but it wasn't the only one of its kind in the world. She had another one the size of a fist in her warehouse, though it wasn't as big as this one.
The highest value of this Southern Xinjiang jade is only 50,000 gold coins, yet the manager of Zhenxuan directly raised the price tenfold, truly treating them like easy prey.
"Manager Du is joking. Although Southern Xinjiang jade is rare, it is not unique in the world. If I remember correctly, the small country of Southern Xinjiang presented His Majesty with a piece of Southern Xinjiang jade five years ago."
A white figure slowly walked up the stairs.
He looked at the three of them with a gentle expression.
Manager Du was taken aback, not expecting to actually encounter someone who knew his stuff.
Without his guidance, one could only access the second floor after spending over ten thousand gold coins at Mingzhenxuan.
As they were both important guests, Manager Du couldn't afford to turn his back on them.
Looking at Xiao Zhen's face, Cui Ying pretended to suddenly realize something and said, "You lied to us?"
Shopkeeper Du quickly said, "Please don't be angry, sir. I haven't finished yet. I only mentioned the value, not the price of this jade. We haven't had such knowledgeable customers in a long time, so I'm willing to sell this piece of Southern Xinjiang jade to you two for 100,000 gold coins."
Cui Ying forced herself to keep her eyes from wandering and quietly pulled Qin Jinzhi aside.
Qin Jinzhi calmly said, "Wrap it up, I'll take it."
As she spoke, she pulled out a gold note worth 100,000 taels from her sleeve.
Both Manager Du and Xiao Zhen could clearly see that Qin Jinzhi had a thick stack of gold notes in her sleeve.
The people present were also stunned, as even 100,000 gold coins was not a small amount!
Qin Jinzhi accepted it without batting an eye.
Shopkeeper Du beamed with delight, "I'll go wrap it up for you right away."
As Manager Du left, Cui Ying turned to Xiao Zhen and said, "Thank you for speaking up for us, otherwise we would have been slaughtered by that heartless manager."
Xiao Zhen asked with some doubt, "Since you two brothers already know that this shopkeeper is overcharging customers, why did you still buy this Southern Frontier Jade?"
Qin Jinzhi replied:
"Although the shopkeeper inflated the price, this Southern Xinjiang jade is indeed a very rare and excellent material."
Since Zhenxuan opened his shop to do business, the shopkeeper was definitely trying to make some money.
Besides, cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. My brother spoke up for us brothers out of righteousness; if this causes us trouble, it will be our fault.”
Cui Ying stepped forward and said naturally, "Brother, don't worry, my brother is not short of gold. Is there anything you like? I will give it to you as a token of my gratitude."
The hardest debt to repay in this world is the debt of gratitude owed to others.
The simplest thing is that everything can be solved with money.
Xiao Zhen smiled and said, "You two are too kind. I didn't ask for such trivial things. If you really want to express your gratitude, why don't you invite me for a drink?"
These two brothers are incredibly wealthy and powerful, and they don't want to owe anyone favors, even if they spend a lot of money.
Making friends with such a person would be of great help to him.
Therefore, he was determined to have some interaction with these two brothers.
Qin Jinzhi and Cui Ying exchanged a glance and said, "If you don't mind, that would be wonderful."
A moment later, Manager Du came up and said, "The items have been packed. Would you like us to deliver this Southern Xinjiang jade to your residence?"
Qin Jinzhi waved her hand and said, "No need, just have someone send them to our carriage."
Manager Du immediately said, "I'll arrange it right away."
Qin Jinzhi turned around and said, "My brother and I live in Tianxiang Tower. Would you be willing to ride with us in the carriage?"
Xiao Zhen raised an eyebrow; these two brothers really did spend money like water.
Let's not even talk about where Tianxianglou is.
A night's stay at Tianxiang Tower costs at least a thousand gold coins.
"nature."
Xiao Zhen was once again stunned by the luxury of Qin Jinzhi's carriage as soon as she got on.
The most extravagant person he had ever seen in the entire capital was Qin Jinzhi, the young princess of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion who was raised by his father, the emperor.
He was not favored by his father and was not familiar with Qin Jinzhi.
However, every time Qin Jinzhi was seen at a palace banquet, even the princes and princesses did not have the same level of luxury in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation as Jinzhi.
These two brothers are even more impressive.
Xiao Zhen said, "I don't know your names yet. My name is Rong Zhen."
It seems that Xiao Zhen's beautiful birth mother was Rong Shi.
It seems that Rong Shi holds a very important position in Xiao Zhenxin's heart.
Qin Jinzhi spoke first: "Zhao Shisun."
She then pointed to Cui Ying, "Zhao Ruoying."
