"Why does the prince want to buy his things?"
There are all kinds of treasures in the house, and there is no shortage of this one.
"This piece of jade is not amazing, but it is not bad. It is a treasure worth carving. Let's go up and have a look and process this green stone."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"There is a family in front of the prince."
The carriage gradually stopped, Li Yang got off the carriage, and then came to the store.
"Welcome, you two, you can take a look as you like." The shopkeeper greeted.
Li Yang took out the green stone he just bought and handed it to the shopkeeper, "I received a piece of jade today, and I asked the shopkeeper to help me process it. I just want a jade pendant."
"Oh? What kind of jade is it? Let me take a closer look."
Having said this, he held it in both hands and studied it carefully.
"This jade is all green, it's an emerald. It's really a good thing. The young master is really discerning. Most people can't find it. There are some fake jadeite things on the market, but this one is real. This is the real thing." It shows that the young master’s luck is really good.”
"I will choose a pattern for you now, see what the young master likes. I don't think the young master is a local. I bought this piece of jade for the first time. It is really amazing, but it cost a lot of money."
In this way, this green stone is still a piece of jade, so it is really profitable.
"It's not much, only five taels of silver." Li Yang said calmly, then chose a pattern and replied, "That's it. When can the shopkeeper make it?"
"We'll stay in a nearby inn. The shopkeeper will tell us a time and we'll come and pick it up."
"Why do you need five taels of silver? This is the finest jade, and it costs more than five taels of silver. The young master is really good at buying things."
In Yong'an City, either one has a unique vision or is good at cutting prices. Li Yang is a master of both, and the shopkeeper admires him endlessly.
"Young master is the best person I have ever met to buy things. A jadeite like this costs at least five hundred taels of silver, and it is almost rare to find such a fine quality. Not only did you buy a unique item, you only spent five hundred taels of silver." Silver is rare in Yong'an City. I have opened a shop for so many years, but my luck is not as good as that of Young Master."
"This pattern is good. I have a good eye for you. I can carve it for you in at most three days. It costs ten taels of silver. If I offset it with the scraps, the processing fee will be waived. How about I give you a treasure as a gift?"
"Okay, that's it." Li Yang agreed.
"Then young master, let's choose." The shopkeeper pointed to a place where there were many treasures wrapped in an old cloth.
But it’s not worth much money, and the quality you buy is not as good as the quality you sell.
Li Yang randomly picked a good thing that caught his eye and didn't take it seriously at all. The thing was a calligraphy and painting fan.
This thing would be valuable in modern times, but it may not necessarily be valuable here.
"Young master, you have really good taste. This is a calligraphy and painting fan created by a famous painter. It is very impressive." The shopkeeper said a few words of flattery.
"I'll pick it up in three days."
Then Li Yang left here.
"Master, walk slowly."
After Li Yang found an inn, he asked Hao Liu to find clues about the enemy's third prince in Yong'an City.
In just half a day, Hao Liu came to report: "Prince Qi, I found out that this third prince likes to play with treasures. He is very close to Mr. Jiang in Yong'an City, and tomorrow is Mr. Jiang's birthday. , maybe the third prince will come to the scene, but the security will be strict on the birthday, and you must have an invitation."
Li Yang nodded slightly, "Let's go to Jiang Mansion."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Yang came to see Master Jiang and claimed that he wanted to do business here, so he came to visit Master Jiang so that he could help find a way.
Today, Li Yang happened to see Mr. Jiang buying treasures.
Mr. Jiang looked at them one by one and said, "No, I don't have what I want."
The weather was a bit hot, Li Yang was fanning himself, and he didn't know how to get close to Mr. Jiang.
At this moment, Mr. Jiang's eyes rested on Li Yang's fan.
"This fan is great. It is still the work of a master. I refuse to hear rumors that the master is seriously ill and will no longer paint. It is indeed a pity. In other words, if you take this fan, I remember that this fan is still the painter's god. This is a masterpiece, so the value of this fan will definitely increase and it will definitely be out of print in the future.”
"Invite that young master quickly."
"It's Master."
Under the pavilion, Mr. Jiang asked his men to bring good tea to receive Li Yang.
"Brother, do you want to develop in Yong'an City? You are young and promising, and you are an expert. You will definitely be able to develop."
"Thank you Master Jiang for your kind words, I will definitely work hard." Li Yang replied.
"Can I take a look at this fan?"
Only then did Li Yang understand that Mr. Jiang was interested in this fan.
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, take a look at it as you like." He handed the fan over generously.
Mr. Jiang looked at the painting seriously and said, "Yes, it was painted by a real person."
"If Mr. Jiang likes it, I still have it there. I can bring it over if I find a chance."
"Seriously?" Mr. Jiang's eyes seemed to be shining.
"Seriously, I see that there are decorations in the master's house. Someone should be celebrating his birthday tomorrow. Since it is someone in the master's house who is celebrating his birthday, they are the closest people. I can give that painting to him tomorrow. Jiang Mansion.”
"That's really unbearable. It's our first time meeting. How can I ask you for such an expensive gift? If you can come to my birthday party tomorrow, I will welcome you."
"Yes, it's just a small gift."
Mr. Jiang nodded, feeling that Li Yang was not simple, as he had so many paintings by famous artists.
In this way, Li Yang received an invitation from Mr. Jiang.
He planned to go back and make arrangements, and approach the Third Prince tomorrow to prepare for capturing him.
Li Yang ordered Hao Liu to buy the paintings from the shopkeeper's shop, which only cost him a few taels of silver.
The shopkeeper didn't know that these paintings would appreciate in value, so they were always given as gifts.
The next day.
Li Yang brought the paintings to Jiang Mansion.
Sure enough, I saw the third prince.
The third prince was tall and tall. He got close to Mr. Jiang and even gave him a birthday gift.
To prevent recognition, Li Yang put on a little disguise.
"I wish Mr. Jiang good luck and longevity in the East China Sea."
Then, Li Yang gave a birthday gift.
Master Jiang opened the box, and it turned out to be a landscape painting.
"Wonderful, it's this one. I've been looking for it for a long time but couldn't find it. How did I meet this little brother?"
Mr. Jiang has a great reputation in Yong'an City, so people often come to visit him.
Li Yang is nothing more than a person who wants to seek development in Yong'an City.
Naturally, he couldn't say that this painting was found casually. "I was so lucky that I came across it accidentally."
