Chapter 45 The Legendary Fire Huanbu
At noon, Shen You was looking at the takeout app, and there were a few things he wanted to eat that he hadn’t finished yet.
I received a credit reminder on my phone. It was a call from the auction company, and the money was paid after deducting the commission.
It was similar to what she had calculated before, but she didn't expect that the money would arrive so quickly. The contract said it would take three working days.
Sure enough, Jiang He sent a message, and Gao EQ said that it was she who urged the finance department to settle the payment here first.
Naturally, Shen You would not reject other people's kindness and ended the conversation with her after a few words.
After getting the takeaway, close the door and open the [Daqi] Antique Shop.
In the afternoon, Ms. Zhao, a regular customer, arrived with a lady with a luxurious temperament.
"Mom, look, I'm not talking nonsense. There is a shop here selling items from the Western Regions!"
Miss Zhao looked at the yard in front of her with surprise. She finally came in!
Two days ago, she saw that the business had been suspended, and then all the shops were gone. She felt like the sky had collapsed in half.
Those beautiful hairpins, the lipstick and rouge that all the noble ladies and ladies in the capital coveted are no longer available.
The makeup she wore at the last banquet attracted even His Highness the Crown Prince's attention.
I don’t know how many people are rushing to copy it, but they don’t have the same cosmetics, so how can they copy it.
Zhao Wanyi would be in a good mood every time she thought of this.
But the empress in the palace also asked about this kind of rouge. She had no choice but to give her a box of rouge that she didn't want to use and a bottle of perfume.
I can only buy some more.
Mrs. Zhao looked around with a wary look. It was exactly as her daughter said, and none of the maids and wives who followed her came in.
"You are the daughter of a noble prince, and you are extremely valuable. How can you come to such a strange place casually? If something goes wrong"
"Mom, it'll be okay. I've been here twice." Zhao Wanyi hugged Mrs. Zhao's arm and said.
"What about the shopkeeper? Why don't you come out to greet him?" Mrs. Zhao put on airs.
Zhao Wanyi whispered, "This is the shopkeeper of this shop."
Mrs. Zhao paused, unable to accept such a cold reception for a while, but thinking about the things her daughter brought back, she reluctantly went in by herself.
"Miss Zhao is here." Shen You sat at the counter and did not move.
Zhao Wanyi was used to it. When she saw that the business was suspended, she also sent her mother-in-law to knock on the door. She couldn't knock it open. She knew that there was nothing she could do to deal with the people in the shop, so she let it go.
Mrs. Zhao, who came here for the first time, couldn't get used to it.
She was the head of the county who had been cheered and supported all her life. She was standing while a businesswoman sat opposite her. This strange scene made her unable to think about it for a long time.
But his eyes were soon attracted by the things in the shop.
"Do you still have lipstick and rouge here? And those perfumes." Zhao Wanyi had just finished asking when she saw the bracelets on the shelf and two pink crystal petal hairpins.
"I want this!"
What a beautiful bracelet, one is pink all over, and the natural texture is very artistic.
The other one was as blue as the sea, and when it turned, it seemed like there were stars in it.
Even the palace has never seen such a precious bracelet.
"There are still two boxes of what you mentioned, but these two bracelets are more expensive." Shen You hesitated deliberately.
Zhao Wanyi smiled disapprovingly and said arrogantly, "There is nothing in Beijing that I can't afford."
good! Just waiting for your words.
Shen You knew that too many things would be worthless, so he planned to sell these two, which would definitely cost a high price.
"I want Huanbu, a head and face worth a thousand taels, as well as precious ornaments, and a silver coin cast in the palace."
Zhao Wanyi's face changed as soon as these words came out.
There are all the princes in the back, Huo Huanbu? What a joke, the emperor couldn’t bear to wear it!
I heard that someone offered two horses last year, but even the most favored concubine in the palace couldn't get them, and they were punished by kneeling in front of the palace.
If it hadn't been for these two horses, no one would have believed that there really was Huohuanbu in the world, and how to make it would have been lost long ago. Ancient books record that fire cloth will not burn when bathed in fire. It will only turn red. It will not change color when stained with dirt. After being taken out of the fire and shaken, it will become as white as snow.
It is said that these are the clothes worn by immortals, and saints are obsessed with refining elixirs and seeking immortality. Even if they can be found in the world, who would dare to hide them secretly?
Hiding today, tomorrow the whole family will be dead.
Mrs. Zhao was anxious, "How dare you! How dare you covet the palace."
Shen You didn't have the patience to listen to this and directly interrupted the spell,
"I thought the Huohuanbu was here with you, and it was a more expensive thing."
Her understatement, as if Huo Huanbu was easy to get, made the CPUs of the two people on the other side burn.
When you go out, your personality is given by yourself.
In fact, Shen You was extremely shocked at this moment. She was the one who temporarily patched up expensive materials like ancient fabrics that day.
I accidentally saw the record about Huo Huanbu.
I didn’t expect Daqi to actually have one!
If this thing could be obtained, the entire collecting world would go crazy.
"Since there is no Huohuan cloth, then replace it with the most expensive cloth in your house."
Before Zhao Wanyi could react from the shock just now, Mrs. Zhao had already noticed something unusual in Shen You's tone, not to mention that ordinary people didn't know anything about Huo Huanbu.
So he asked cautiously, "Have you ever seen Huo Huanbu?"
Shen You shook his head and did not answer. He only said, "After you bring the things over, I will not trade them until I confirm that they are worth the price."
In Mrs. Zhao's eyes, her image had been linked to that of an outsider, so she didn't continue to ask.
"Okay, we'll go take care of it right away." Zhao Wanyi agreed.
Mrs. Zhao's many years of experience can naturally tell how valuable those two bracelets are. Sending one to the palace will be of great benefit to their palace.
The Hou Mansion can't afford what the shopkeeper wants.
Mrs. Zhao went back to her house in person and prepared what Shen You wanted.
When she came back, she and Zhao Wanyi carried the things themselves.
"These are only five horses awarded by the palace in a year, and they are worth thousands of gold outside."
Zhao Wanyi raised her head, but looking at Shen You's calm look, and thinking of her calm tone when she talked about Huo Huanbu just now, she couldn't help but restrain her arrogance.
Shen You looked at the things on the table. The two pieces of embroidered fabric were much better than the ones she bought in the store last time.
It should be something specially provided to the nobles.
She had seen a lot of heads, faces and ornaments, and they were expensive, but she didn't think it was a big deal.
What is worth collecting is the flower silver.
The size of twelve taels is made into the shape of a koi, with the words Fulu printed on it.
This thing is not used as currency. It is a reward from the palace for a fortune. It is rarer than ordinary silver ingots.
A wealthy family has many good things.
"How is it?" Zhao Wanyi kept looking at the two bracelets in the box.
"Okay, you can take your things away." Shen You nodded.
Zhao Wanyi happily took the things and couldn't wait to put them on her hands after leaving the store.
Mrs. Zhao once again ordered the people below not to reveal that they came to this shop to buy things.
This time, the person who came with him was a confidant who had been with him for many years and had a strict mouth. However, this shop is too strange. If word spread, it may bring trouble to the Zhao family.
She had someone repackage the lipstick she sent to the palace last time into an ordinary box before letting her daughter take it in.
