Chapter 140 Western Region Mirror Five Hundred Liang
"Your Majesty, you are favoring one over the other. There is a fire in the Gu Mansion and everything is gone. I wonder if I can also ask for a reward from your Majesty."
Li Heng had a smile on his face and a respectful tone.
He saved face for the Liu family, and this put pressure on the imperial concubine.
The junior has said this, and the imperial concubine cannot refuse it no matter what.
The imperial concubine's smile remained unchanged, but it was a little more forced. After all, the prince's identity was there, and she could not give him a worse reward than this pair of bracelets.
In this way, the Liu family's girl accepted the reward with a different meaning.
However, this alone could not change the matter. The saint had no objection to marrying a girl from the Liu family to Prince Cheng's palace.
After the banquet was over, Liu Yunyan's expression had not yet softened when he left the hall.
After the screen retreated, Li Heng said to the two brothers and sisters, "Father is still considering it. Before the matter is settled, there is room for maneuver."
No matter how much his father liked Prince Cheng, he would not allow his concubine to have too much power before his death.
An emperor whose body is weakening day by day will only become more suspicious, and he will not dare to go too far.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Liu Yunyan gave a crisp salute, completely different from the cowering look in the palace just now.
After watching Li Heng go first, the brother and sister were ready to leave.
"I'm going to have a shop, what about you?" Liu Zheng looked at his cousin.
"There is no reason to go back so early, I want to go too!" Liu Yunyan did not hesitate.
She was in a bad mood and wanted to go to the night market.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense to anyone you see in the shop today." Liu Zheng reminded.
Liu Yunyan had long said that she admired the businesswoman from the Western Regions who could bring warm clothes to Daqi.
In Shopkeeper Shen's shop, he didn't dare to make decisions without authorization.
But today shopkeeper Shen is here. He doesn't know what to say, and Liu Yunyan can probably figure it out.
Shen You has arrived at the No. 1 store of ‘Youjian Shop’.
The clerk in the shop had never seen her before, so she took out the jade pendant that Li Heng was trading.
The shopkeeper was about to salute when he saw it, but she stopped him with her hand.
"This girl is Shopkeeper Shen?"
Shen You nodded.
"My boss has told me before that all the guys in the shop will listen to the girl." When the shopkeeper spoke, he saw the hairpin on Shen You's head.
The things in the Western Region are really wonderful.
If these hairpins are sold, the door of the store may be crowded.
In the past, if they had any good things, they would first offer them to the palace and then dare to sell them.
This girl has already put it on
Thinking about the rumors I heard, I felt they were reasonable. The saint's tolerance towards the imperial master was simply staggering.
Those who didn't know thought that there was something in the hands of the national master.
Shen You took out a lantern hairpin made of real gold and silver from the cloth bag and first taught the assistant how to use it.
"It's amazing!"
People who had never seen anything like this couldn't help but marvel. Many people couldn't help but come into the store and ask how much money they would have to own such a beautiful hairpin.
Shen You told the price. Gold, silver and freshwater pearls were expensive. She also had a batch of copper-plated silver hairpins bought online, which were cheaper.
I heard that a silver hairpin costs fifty taels, so many people hesitated.
Plain silver hairpins can usually be bought for seven or eight taels, and a better one can be bought for ten taels.
"The hairpin is indeed more exquisite. This small lantern and pavilion are so well made. If you change to other shops, you wouldn't be able to buy one with this kind of workmanship if you have the money. It also shines. It's really not expensive!"
"That makes sense."
The person who is willing to spend fifty taels to buy a silver hairpin is really not an ordinary person.
While everyone was talking, the carriage from Zhao Houfu arrived.
Zhao Wanyi flicked her sleeves and rushed into the shop, followed by the maid behind her in a hurry. As soon as she left the palace, she went straight to the shop.
Not only her, but also the female relatives came here, fearing that they would be late and the good things would be bought by others first.
Zhao Wanyi glanced at Shen You who was sitting there, explaining to the waiter how to take out the wick in the hairpin when it stopped shining.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Wen Zhi sitting behind a screen drinking tea, and his expression softened a bit.
"How do you sell this hairpin? You tell me a price."
Shen You pointed into the wooden tray next to her, "You can choose between sterling silver and gold. You can try it out."
As the richest woman in Daqi, she would definitely look down on silver hairpins.
Zhao Wanyi asked the maid to try it on for her, and the clerk in the shop brought the bronze mirror.
It was hard to see the bronze mirror clearly at night, so Shen You took out a modern mirror with a wooden handle.
Zhao Wanyi looked up and was immediately shocked.
"What is this? It can be seen so clearly!"
"What's clear?" Mrs. Zhao Hou looked at what her daughter was holding in doubt.
Isn't it just a piece of wood?
"Mom, look!" Zhao Wanyi took the mirror and placed it in front of her mother.
When Mrs. Zhao Hou saw herself wearing a luminous gold hairpin in the mirror, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Is this a mirror?"
"Although the mirror in the Western Regions can illuminate clearly, it is as fragile as glass, and the fragments are sharp and can easily cut people."
"Girl, can this be sold?" Mrs. Zhao Hou asked.
Shen You hesitated, "This thing is also rare in the Western Regions. Now I only have two yuan in hand, five hundred taels."
At this moment, several female relatives of wealthy families came over. Although they thought the price was expensive, they also thought it was worth it.
This Western Region mirror is made in a simple style, but there is no such clear mirror in the entire capital. Even the strands of hair can be seen clearly!
It’s very light to hold!
Expensiveness is not a disadvantage of the mirror!
"Five hundred taels is five hundred taels, but we don't have any cash with us." Zhao Wanyi remembered Shen You's trading rules.
"Don't worry, Ms. Zhao, we can collect checks in our store." The shopkeeper said promptly.
Zhao Wanyi held the mirror and looked around at herself with the hairpin on. She looked really good!
This mirror is so useful!
The bronze mirror in her room was also expensive, and the patterns were 100% exquisite, but this was the first time she saw herself so clearly.
I even think five hundred taels is very cheap.
Seeing Zhaohou's wife and daughter paying for the mirror and two gold hairpins, everyone else was envious.
Then I thought, if I can’t buy a mirror, I can still buy a hairpin!
In an instant, the store became lively.
Shen You came to Daqi to buy the experience card time fee, and Miss Zhao made all the money back from this transaction!
The second mirror was left in the shop for them to use when receiving distinguished guests, and they were going to go out to place copper hairpins on the stall set up by the clerk.
Ten taels of silver.
Those doing business in the capital and those doing small errands in the court can all afford it.
Soon a lot of people gathered around the stall. If ordinary copper hairpins were sold at this price, everyone would probably spit when they passed by.
But the copper hairpin brought by Shen You can last for a long time without fading, and it contains luminous ore from the Western Regions.
Thinking about it this way, no one will think it is expensive.
Shen You didn't expect things to sell out so quickly, including the expensive hairpins in the shop.
The children of the aristocratic family who wanted to buy hairpins as gifts also came. For a while, the shop was filled with customers who had just come out of the palace and dressed up in costumes. Even the shopkeeper who had seen many big events had never seen this kind of behavior.
"How much did you pay for that mirror?" Wen Zhi asked, lowering his head.
Shen You smiled and replied, "I bought it online for 66 yuan with wallet postage. I chose black walnut."
After saying that, feeling the sight behind her, she turned around and saw Li Heng standing there.
The competition starts soon
