Ordinary rich families buy jade gui, and the owner's mother chooses it herself. This guy has worked in Jin Shiyuan for several years, and it is the first time he has seen this half-grown boy come to patronize their business.This young man was well-dressed, with fine details on his body, he looked like he came from an aristocratic family, he was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was about to be married.

Yu Sheng wandered around the store at random, and saw all kinds of jade gui inside, with different shapes, and the carvings on the bronze also had their own characteristics.Yu Sheng pointed to one of the jade gui and asked, "How much is this?"

The man raised two palms, "Guest officer, this is the number."

"Ten taels?"

The clerk smiled, "Guest officer, you are joking, our Jin Shiyuan's jade gui is different from those in other small shops. All of them are made of high-quality Hetian jade, carefully crafted by famous craftsmen..."

Yu Sheng took a deep breath, ready to be scared, "Just say how much it is."

The guy smiled, "1000 taels."

"..." At this time, 1000 taels is an astronomical figure for a small family. It is not a big deal for the Yu Mansion, but Yu Sheng lives at home for food, clothing and housing, and his monthly pocket money is With a fixed 100 taels of silver, he really couldn't come up with 1000 taels of silver for a while.

Yu Sheng thought for a while and asked, "In addition to selling finished products, can you also customize?"

"Of course, it's fashionable to make jade gui according to customers' own ideas," said the waiter, "I don't know what kind of jade gui the guest officer wants?"

Yu Sheng took out the drawing paper from his arms, "That's it, I marked the size on it."

The clerk took the drawing paper and looked at it for a long time, then said with a smile: "This style of jade and gold Shiyuan has been released before, and there may be some in stock in Curry, would you like to have a look?"

"No need, what I want is definitely different from what you have in Curry." Yu Sheng looked around and gestured to the buddy to come over.The man took a step closer, Yu Sheng pressed against his ear, and said softly: "The jade in the jade gui, don't use Hetian jade, you can replace it with jade with similar texture."

The guy was taken aback, "Guest, guest officer, only Hetian jade can absorb my brother's blood, and it won't work for any other jade."

"I know that," Yu Sheng said, "You just say whether you can do it. As for the price, it's easy to discuss."

The guy was a little moved.Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer brothers from each household. A jade gui can be used for many years. Their business is getting worse every year, and they don’t want to lower the price to sell the jade gui to ordinary people, so they can only hold on to the signboard. with.

"I can't make up my mind on this matter by myself, we still have to let the shopkeeper make up his mind." The shopkeeper said, "Guest officer, why don't you go to the private room upstairs to have a sip of tea first, and then I will call you when I report to the shopkeeper?"

Yu Sheng nodded, "Okay, what else do you eat here besides tea?"

Yu Sheng followed the buddy up to the second floor, eating and drinking while waiting for news from the buddy.He was sitting on the railing, just in time to see the scene on the first floor.Not long after he sat down, Jin Shiyuan had two more guests.

One of them looked about 30 years old, with a soft and delicate face, a jade crown standing upright, a red mark between his eyebrows, and his demeanor was very ladylike.

——Oh my god, this is a brother!Live brother!

These days there are too few elder brothers, and anyone who has a elder brother hides it, so that Yu Sheng has never seen the elder brother of Ding Gui except Yan Yuanlan.

Beside that brother, there was a tall man standing, and Yu Sheng looked at him very familiarly.The man seemed to have noticed Yu Sheng's gaze, and when he looked up, he was stunned for a moment.

Yu Sheng also took a sip of tea and sprayed it far away, before even wiping his mouth, he hurriedly moved to the back seat with the snacks.

Shit, how could I meet King Shu at this time, it's really bad luck

Seeing that Yu Sheng was so frightened that he didn't forget to take away the food, Li Luan smiled slightly, said something to his brother, and walked towards the second floor.

Yu Sheng drank his tea with his head down, pretending nothing had happened, he saw Li Luan walking towards him out of the corner of his eye, lowering his head lower and lower.Then, he heard Li Luan's smiling voice from above, "Xiao Yusheng, why don't you hide?"

Yu Sheng raised her head eagerly, looked at Li Luan's smiling face, and said angrily, "This place is so big, where can I hide?" He must not let the second person know what he is going to do today , so he didn't even let him follow in a daze. He thought he would be invisible, but he didn't expect to meet Li Luan in Jin Shiyuan. The honor of being the character he hates the most in " was awarded to His Royal Highness Shu Wang.

Yu Sheng complained about it, but he still didn't forget the proper etiquette.He stood up and bowed to Li Luan, "Yu Sheng has seen the prince."

Li Luan bent down and helped Yu Sheng up, "There is no one else here, so you don't have to be so obtrusive, little Yu Sheng." Li Luan sat down opposite Yu Sheng, raised his chin, "You sit too."

After Yu Sheng sat down, Li Luan asked him, "What are you doing in Jin Shiyuan?"

Yu Sheng didn't blush when he told a lie, "I'm passing by, come in and take a look."

Li Luan didn't doubt Yu Sheng's statement, the boy who was about to get married would always have complicated thoughts. "When will you order the gui?" He asked.

Yu Sheng told the truth: "Lantern Festival."

Li Luan raised his eyebrows, "It's a good day. Whether you want to be a brother or a normal person, I wish you all the things you want."

When most people know that he already has an ordinary elder brother, they will wish him to be designated as an elder brother. Li Luan said this, which surprised Yu Sheng a bit.Yu Sheng's expression was slightly relaxed, and he asked: "Then why did the prince come to Jin Shiyuan?"

"Little Yusheng, look."

Yu Sheng followed his gaze and looked downstairs, only to see that the brother who came with him was picking out the jade gui under the guidance of a clerk. "My lord, who is that?"

"He is my uncle and also Prince Ning's concubine."

King Ning Yusheng knew that he was the emperor's uncle, at least 60 years old, and he didn't expect Princess Ning to be so young.

Li Luan saw his surprise, and explained: "My uncle is King Ning's second concubine. King Ning's first concubine was also a brother, who died of illness many years ago."

Yu Sheng had a vague guess, "Death of illness... Could it be that the former princess also died of dystocia?"

Li Luan asked in surprise, "How did you find out?"

Yu Sheng sullenly said, "I guess." It's not easy for women to give birth, and it's the same for brothers, and it's even more difficult than women. In ancient times when medical technology was backward, giving birth to a child is half a foot into the gate of hell. If one is not careful, it will die.

"Not long after, there are some boys in Prince Ning's mansion who want to order gui together. There are not enough jade gui in the mansion. My uncle came to Jin Shiyuan to choose a new jade gui. I met him on the street by chance, so I came to have a look with him." Li Luan said, "I didn't expect to see you here."

Yu Sheng smiled, "I didn't expect to see the prince either."

The two of them were chatting when the waiter who had just served Yu Sheng ran over, "Guest officer, our shopkeeper said..."

Yu Sheng hurriedly coughed a few times, crazily implying that now is not the time to talk, the guy is also a shrewd person, and immediately changed his words: "Guest officer, is this dessert still to your liking?"

Yu Sheng said solemnly: "This jujube paste cake is not bad, do you sell it?"

Li Luan laughed and said, "Don't you think it's too suspicious that you came to Jin Shiyuan to have some snacks?"

Yu Sheng tried to calm down, "Is it suspicious? I don't think so."

Li Luan smiled noncommittally, and Yu Sheng's heart began to gallop. When he was thinking about how to get rid of Li Luan, Princess Shu downstairs had already selected the jade gui, and sent a staff to come up to talk.Li Luan stood up and said, "Then, little Yu Sheng, I will leave first."

Yu Sheng also stood up, "My lord, go slowly."

Li Luan walked to the stairs, then turned his head and smiled at Yu Sheng, "I will know the result of your engagement as soon as possible."

Yu Sheng was taken aback for a moment, thinking that King Shu wouldn't be interested in him, would he? !It shouldn't be so, after all, in the original work, Yu Sheng's various upside downs can't get King Shu to treat him differently, so there's no reason why I was locked in after wandering in front of him twice.

Yu Sheng put this creepy thought aside, and asked the guy, "What do you shopkeepers say?"

The buddy told Yu Sheng that they can take this job, but it is hard to find jade with a texture similar to Hetian jade. It will take some time for them, and the price is relatively more expensive.

Yu Sheng asked, "How much do you want?"

Seeing how straightforward he was, the guy became even more enthusiastic, "The deposit is 200 taels, and the tail deposit is 1000 taels. You will come to pick up the goods in a month."

Yu Sheng could still get the 200 taels of silver, but as for the rest, he had to think of another way. "Okay," Yu Sheng said, "deal. The jade gui must be made according to the drawings, and there must be no difference. Also, if someone asks about these things, do you know what to say?"

The man patted his chest and assured: "Guest officer, don't worry, only you and I know about this matter."

Yu Sheng paid the deposit, got a list in exchange for the finished product, and began to think about how to get 1000 taels of silver within one month.If he asks Jiang Huamei for it, she will definitely ask him why, this way obviously won't work.In this era, stocks cannot be traded, and he can't do anything except painting. After thinking about it, there is only one way.

Yu Sheng walked out of Jin Shiyuan, joined the dazed person who was waiting at the end of the street, and asked, "At this time, is the elder brother about to leave his job?"

Confusedly looked up at the sky, "Yes, why did the young master ask such a question?"

Yu Sheng was in high spirits, and said: "It just so happens that the Imperial College is not far from here, let's pick him up and go home!" It's time to maintain the plastic-like brotherhood between him and Yu Ce!

Yu Sheng came to the gate of the Guozijian, and soon found Yu Mansion to pick up Yu Ce's sedan chair.Yu Sheng asked the bearer standing by, "Where's the young master?"

The bearer said in surprise, "Second Young Master, why do you..."

"I'm passing by... I'm here to pick up my eldest brother back home." Yu Sheng said, "Has he not come out yet?"

"Young master was stopped by a noble man," the bearer pointed to the side road, "we went in that direction together."

Yu Sheng stayed by the sedan chair in a daze, and walked along the path alone. After walking for a long time, he heard Yu Ce's voice: "If the eldest prince has any orders, you may as well speak up."

Yu Sheng didn't expect that the nobleman who called Yu Ce away was the eldest prince Li Zhan.Didn't the two of them dislike each other? How could they have a secret tryst in this kind of place?

The room was silent for a long time, and Li Zhan's deep voice sounded: "Why...you refused my gift?"
