Chapter 36

At the moment, Mu Mingtang, who is sitting in the palace drinking tea, doesn't know how embarrassed she is to some people outside. She carefully looked at the blue brocade in her hand and said, "this brocade is good-looking, with smooth pattern, intrinsic color, and soft. It's just used to make robes. Have you brought all the other colors? "

"Back to the princess, Liji brocade has been delivered."

Mu Mingtang nodded. She took a fancy to this material. She was thinking of making some new clothes for Xie xuanchen, but she ran into this one. This blue is pure and noble. It must look good on Xie xuanchen.

And this color is suitable for men and women, and she can use it, so mu Mingtang wasted a handful of cloth. Mu Mingtang spent the whole afternoon. Now he was quite satisfied and said, "OK, how much money did you spend together?"

"Yes."

After Mu Mingtang's shopping, he went back to Yulin hall to collect his booty. She doesn't know at the moment, because she bought out the brocade of Zhijin Yunxia, which became famous in the first World War in Beijing. Everyone wants to see what's special about the brocade that was contested by the two princesses. The merchants ask everywhere where to weave jinyunxia brocade. The price of song brocade increases in a few days, and finally, the price of Yunxia brocade rises ten times.

When Mu Mingtang heard about it, the market outside had already turned upside down. Mu Mingtang was very surprised to hear the offer: "how much did you say this brocade is?"

"Every two thousand."

Mu Mingtang heard the price for a long time did not speak, she can not help but ask: "the recent non Festival, why up so much?"

The servant girl lowered her head and said, "princess, because Princess Jin was also buying this kind of brocade that day."

Mu Mingtang knew that before she knew it, she cut off Jiang Mingwei's Hu.

The next night, Mu Mingtang looked thoughtful. At night, Xie xuanchen saw it and asked, "what's the matter with you?"

Mu Mingtang pursed his lips. Suddenly he came near and said to Xie xuanchen in a tone of sharing a little secret: "do you know that I bought some cloth a few days ago?"

Xie xuanchen nodded: "I know. What's the matter? "

Mu Mingtang said that he was a little embarrassed, I'm afraid that's not a few. But she was very calm and continued: "one of them is a piece of brocade. I asked the price at that time. It's 80 yuan or two, but now it's 1000 yuan! It's only been a few days. It's ten times as much as before! "

After hearing this, Xie xuanchen nodded his head and said, "madam, as expected, she has a good family. Shopping not only saves money, but also makes money now. Sure enough, you are in charge of the money, and I'll rely on you in the future. "

When Xie xuanchen said these words, she was very reasonable. After hearing this, Mu Mingtang was helpless. She didn't feel that she was really a genius. As long as she had the heart, she could take care of money. Is Xie xuanchen really not in charge? He's just too lazy to bother.

Mu Mingtang finds that her thoughts are biased by Xie xuanchen. She quickly pulls the topic back: "this is not what I want to tell you. Do you know why it's increased ten times? "

Xie xuanchen tone light, almost don't want to say: "rare, someone bidding."

Mu Mingtang waited for a long time and found that Xie xuanchen was not surprised. She was very surprised: "how do you know?"

"It's hard to guess." Xie xuanchen said, "the people who are qualified to bid with you, count to count, that's all."

Mu Mingtang lost his temper and felt that sharing secrets with Xie xuanchen had no sense of accomplishment. She sighed and held her head in another direction, still in a daze.

Xie xuanchen found that after he finished, Mu Mingtang did not answer. He was a little bit surprised, and he felt confused after the accident. He waited in silence for a while. Seeing that Mu Mingtang didn't mean to speak, he could only take the initiative to ask, "what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about how to sell those pieces of brocade."

Xie xuanchen choked hard. After looking at it for a while, he found that Mu Mingtang didn't seem to be faking: "are you serious?"

"Well." Mu Mingtang nodded, obviously seriously thinking about it, "ten times ah, such a good price difference, do not make money is a fool."

Xie xuanchen has nothing to say. Mu Mingtang is really out of the ordinary way. He has not felt the surprise of this unexpected move for a long time. Xie xuanchen was also silent for a while and asked curiously, "don't you like this kind of material very much?"

"I do." Mu Mingtang looked back and said seriously, "but I also like money. Anyway, I can't use it up. Why can't I get along with the money? "

Xie xuanchen was speechless for a moment. Mu Mingtang looked serious and asked, "do you have any proper way to resell the goods in stock?"

This question really asks Xie xuanchen. He thought for a while and replied truthfully, "it's hard to find."

It's not about selling things or finding people, it's about finishing.

after all, he is surrounded by emperors' eyes. How can he not be doubted by the emperor and how to explain this behavior is the most difficult.

Mu Mingtang soon thought of their situation and sighed: "yes, I forget that it's not my home, nor Xiangyang. Forget it. Anyway, if you don't lose money, just stay in the warehouse. "Although Mu Mingtang said so, he was inevitably depressed. When Xie xuanchen saw it, he suddenly said, "it's just hard to find it. It's not necessarily impossible to find it."

Mu Mingtang looked back: "what?"

Xie xuanchen stretched out his index finger and slowly pointed to the next door.

Mu Mingtang was stunned and slowly reflected what Xie xuanchen meant. After she thought about it, she looked at Xie xuanchen's straightforward expression and couldn't help laughing: "you are such a person..."

Since becoming a princess, Jiang Mingwei has always wanted to build momentum for her future position as Queen, so she has actively made friends with her family members and participated in all kinds of banquets in the capital. In order to show her future national Mother's style, Jiang Mingwei made great efforts to prepare a banquet in the Jin palace, inviting many princes and wives to attend.

The banquet started half a month ago, and Jiang Mingwei attached great importance to it. She was not a good wife in her last life, but mu Mingtang, the adopted daughter of the Jiang family, became the queen, which has become one of Jiang Mingwei's worries. Therefore, in this life of rebirth, she is very persistent about the symbol of her wife, such as hosting a banquet and going out to socialize.

However, no matter how much preparation is made, some things can not be forced, such as the venue. Xie Xuanji had chosen Xie xuanchen as the official next door. This way, he could please the emperor, monitor Xie xuanchen and show his virtue. But correspondingly, we have to sacrifice something.

Every inch of land and every inch of money in the capital is suitable for building mansions. Xie xuanchen was at the peak of his power when he built his mansion. Of course, there were no restrictions on his mansion. The best and smoothest land in this area was included in his palace. It is conceivable that when Xie Xuanji built the palace here many years later, he did not have much space to choose.

Although the two royal palaces are adjacent, there is no central axis running through the adjacent royal palaces in Jin Dynasty, and even no central axis can be found. Only the wedding and funeral hall and the imperial edict hall are tall and bright, and the rest of the buildings have to make do with the space left.

The main hall where the prince and his concubine live is like this, so there is no need to expect the garden. The garden of King Jin's mansion is said to be a garden. In fact, it is just a small garden that can be seen at a glance.

As soon as Jiang Mingwei looked up, she could see the luxuriant vegetation next door, and even the garden with the sound of running water. She really hated her teeth. She tried her best to decorate the guests of this banquet. However, it was difficult for a skillful woman to make a meal without rice. No matter how much money she spent or how exquisite the furnishings were, she felt embarrassed.

After everyone came, they all lamented that Jiang Mingwei had noble taste and good intentions. When there were few people, they didn't show up. Later, when their wives came to the scene with their own servant girls, the number of people in the garden increased so fast that they even needed to move when they walked. At this time, the complex furnishings in the field are not exquisite, but chaotic.

However, no one dares not to give the face of the princess of Jin, and everyone can only praise her with a stiff head. Just as there was a lot of noise, a group of maids came from the outside. Most of them came from the palace.

The garden was full of noise. The maids shook hands and walked up to Jiang Mingwei. They gave a salute: "I'll see the princess of Jin."

Jiang Mingwei recognizes that this is a man from Mu Mingtang's side. On a busy day, Mu Mingtang sends someone to come. Jiang Mingwei's intuition is that it won't be a good thing. She was not welcome in her heart and could not help but bring out a little on her face: "it turned out that she was the person beside her second sister-in-law. What's the matter with her sending you here? "

The maid Wei, who was the leader, gave a step and motioned to his followers to present the wooden box: "report back to the princess of Jin. The princess was very surprised to hear that the princess of Jin wanted to weave gold brocade at any cost. The princess said, it's all a family, so there's no need to be so alienated. Since the princess of Jin likes it, she directly asks the princess for it. Why publicize it outside? Therefore, the princess ordered the slaves to send four pieces of gold brocade to the princess of Jin. "

Then the maid opened the wooden box with a deep green brocade. The other three boxes were similar. When the maid said these words, she didn't avoid others, and the four wooden boxes were eye-catching enough, even if the maid didn't say them, people couldn't ignore them.

At the banquet, the atmosphere stagnated. At last, the wife at the same table with Jiang Mingwei laughed and said, "Princess an and Princess Jin are fraternal in their elders, respectful in their young, and touching. They are really models of sister-in-law. We have benefited a lot. "

Jiang Mingwei could only smile reluctantly when she heard the praise, but she didn't have a happy look on her face: "a gentleman doesn't win people's love. It's the beloved of his sister-in-law. How dare I win love? I've got the second sister-in-law's wish, but I'm not happy to accept it. Please take it back and let my sister-in-law use it for herself. "

"The princess of Jin is worried too much. The princess said that this is her eldest sister-in-law's intention. The princess of Jin doesn't have to refuse to accept it. If the imperial concubine of Jin insists on refusing, she will not look up to her. "

How dare Jiang Mingwei respond to this kind of talk. However, Mu Mingtang is really aggressive. She was shameless in front of her childhood playmates before, but now she deliberately chooses the day of her banquet to smash the scene in public. Jiang Mingwei always wants the first thing. Mu Mingtang deliberately buys it out and then gives it to her. What do you mean?

Charity?

What's more, the brocade Mu Mingtang sent us is green! Even though Jiang Mingwei likes to wear such clothes as light blue and light blue, she can't help wondering if Mu Mingtang intended to express her feelings when she sees such a green brocade?However, in full view of the public, Mu Mingtang almost said that "the elderly do not dare to say goodbye". Mu Mingtang is shameless, but Jiang Mingwei can not do without it. Jiang Mingwei could only endure the cowardice and said with a smile, "thank you, sister-in-law. But the cost of a piece of brocade is very high. How dare I accept such a heavy gift? "

The servant girl still repeats Mu Mingtang's words in a straight line: "the princess said that the princess of Jin would accept it. There is no need to return the gift. What the princess of Jin likes is the calligraphy and painting, the piano score, the chess score and so on. If the princess doesn't study these, it's useless to ask for them, so the princess of Jin doesn't have to return the gift. "

Jiang Mingwei nearly vomited blood out, Mu Mingtang want to be shameless, even what is the gift back to her check out?

How could she be so skinny and shameless?

However, those who have a good face can't compare with those who don't have a bad face. Jiang Mingwei can't lose face in front of everyone. She can only bite her teeth and say, "how can this work. It's not polite to come but not to go. I had a new set of white jade headdress yesterday. I haven't worn it yet. If my sister-in-law doesn't like it, I'll take it. A little gift is no respect. I hope you will have a good time. "

The maid at the head saluted Jiang Mingwei, but she didn't say anything this time. After Jiang Mingwei asked her servant girl to get something, she took it and left. Jiang Mingwei's heart is not good, that set of white jade headdress is for the new year's Eve Palace Banquet, specially made, white jade raw materials alone cost a lot, not to mention the wages. And such precious jewelry, which can be regarded as priceless, was exchanged for four green brocades?

In front of the crowd, Jiang Mingwei looked like a light hearted, generous and generous man, but in fact, she was bleeding with pain. In recent days, merchants are selling song brocade. Although Yunxia brocade is still expensive, the price is falling day by day, but the white jade jewelry sent by Jiang Mingwei is real gold and silver. This time, she really lost a lot.

In the Yulin hall, Mu Mingtang opens the box held by the servant girl and picks it unexpectedly. Eight hundred for ten thousand. It's worth the deal.

As for the green brocade he sent out, Xie xuanchen refused to wear green clothes anyway. Mu Mingtang also felt that the omen was not very good, so he used it as a waste and sold it to Jiang Mingwei. Facts have proved that Jiang Mingwei is really a qualified wrongdoer.

Mu Mingtang kept smiling and sent his servant girl away. Xie xuanchen looks at Mu Mingtang's expression very strange, in the heart already guessed the result, but still asked: "how?"

Mu Mingtang held the box to Xie xuanchen like a treasure, opened it and said, "look!"

Xie xuanchen dropped Mou to sweep an eye, tiny smile way: "water color is good."

Xie xuanchen said so, it can be seen that it is really valuable. Mu Mingtang happily put things away: "Jiang Mingwei is too easy to cheat. I can make a fortune by coming here several times."

Xie xuanchen feels that Mu Mingtang's happiness is really simple. Being infected by her, Xie xuanchen's mood unconsciously gets better: "it's the lady who manages the house well."

Hearing this, Mu Mingtang raised his eyebrows and said, "it's the Lord's advice."

After all, this idea is Xie xuanchen's. It can not only satisfy Mu Mingtang's desire to buy at a low price and sell at a high price, but also block the emperor's mouth openly. This move is really good.

Maybe, you can easily disgust people who don't like your eyes. Mu Mingtang admires Xie xuanchen very much. In this world, some people seem to be weak and harmless, but in fact, he gives all the sinister ideas.

Xie xuanchen heard a slight smile, did not refute, also do not care: "you have a good time."
