Most of those who opened shops in the capital were old noble families, or merchants who were divided into sects. I don’t know which company Jubaozhai has joined. No one in the capital knows who the owner is behind the scenes, but no one is looking for trouble. Moreover, Jubaozhai can always find all kinds of weird things.
The store is very large, divided into three floors to receive guests of different statuses.
Ordinary guests are on the first floor, while some guests with certain status are received on the second floor. On the third floor, it is said that the guests are all relatives of the emperor and powerful officials in the court.
Even Suisui, who was generous in the past, was only invited to the second floor, but this time, he was invited directly to the third floor.
She was suspicious, and then thought of her identity. She was now a member of the royal family, so going to the third floor was not excessive at all!
"I don't know what the princess wants to see today. I asked my servant to bring it to you for inspection."
Ji Ying was in charge of the palace's accounts. Lian Suisui didn't plan to buy too many things today. He just wanted to take a look at them first and select a few as wedding gifts for his cousin from the Chen family.
The Chen family is a close family, so if it were someone else, she would have just asked Ji Ying to buy it.
"Bring me your list."
The shopkeeper made tea for her personally. Lian Suisui looked at the private room on the third floor. There was a huge ink painting hanging on the wall. It should be the work of some famous artist. Unfortunately, she didn't know how to appreciate it. She only thought it looked good. .
The layout of the room is very elegant, very different from the style downstairs.
There is a tea table by the window, and a set of exquisite ink-colored tea sets complements the decoration of the room.
The servants and maids were always waiting on her. Even where Suisui looked, he took the initiative to introduce her.
"This ink painting was created by Master Jian Shaojian. It was a sudden inspiration that came to Master Jian while he was having a drink with his friends in seclusion. It was completed in one go and the painting style is majestic and majestic. Someone offered a thousand gold coins, but Master Jian didn't even want to sell it, so he finally gave it to us. Boss, our boss hung this painting here."
Lian Suisui asked curiously: "Who is your boss?"
The maid was stunned and shook her head: "This slave has never heard from the shopkeeper."
So what she said was also said to her by the shopkeeper...
Lian Suisui shook his head.
"This tea set was specially made by our boss based on Master Jian's paintings. It is the only one in the entire Shangjing City!"
Lian Suisui is a pragmatic person. The things in Jubaozhai are expensive, and the quality is second. The reason why they are expensive is because of the added value of the things. There is only one piece and only one set, so they are expensive.
There are always elegant people who pay for it for the sake of face or hobby.
Giving something like this to someone is indeed very honorable.
"Ask the price politely."
"Our shopkeeper said that this tea set is not for sale, but if you, the princess, want it..."
The shopkeeper went to get something, but since he was not here at the moment, the maid couldn't make up her mind.
"Wait until our shopkeeper comes back. I don't know the price, so I don't dare to say anything casually!"
The maids at Jubaozhai are also quite interesting.
Lian Suisui waited for a while, then the shopkeeper brought the order, and the servants filed into the room holding the actual items.
"If the princess likes this tea set, I will wrap it up and send it to the palace immediately!"
Lian Suisui pursed his lips.
"I haven't asked the price yet. What if I can't afford it?"
When she was sent to the palace, the palace paid for it. Although the Ninth Prince's Palace was grand, it was a house gifted by the late emperor. She had been married there for a few days. Apart from being a little extravagant in eating, Chu Zhiyi didn't even have many servants to serve. , most of the houses in the palace are empty.
Besides, in order to gain face for her, Chu Zhiyi took so many betrothal gifts...
Her dowry was quite large, but she had to spend it carefully, calculate it, and spend it lavishly. Even if she had a huge fortune, it would all be lost!
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Princess, you don't need to be so polite. Whatever you like, I can send it to the palace!"
The shopkeeper's attitude today is a bit strange.
Lian Suisui looked at the things that her servants brought in. She jumped over to those that looked expensive and saw beads that looked like they were carved from ivory. She picked them up and asked, "What are these?"
The shopkeeper explained: "The princess has a good eye. It is an Izumo bead carved from deer antlers. It is a pair with the Izumo bead. The Izumo bead was sold two days ago. Only this one is left. It is a small handful." pieces!"
It seems inappropriate to give someone a wedding gift.
Lian Suisui went to see other places.
After picking and choosing, the novel gadgets are not stable enough and are more suitable for playing by yourself, not suitable for giving as gifts.
"Is there any suitable gift to congratulate the newlyweds?"
Seeing that she was dissatisfied, the shopkeeper was thinking about her intentions, and his eyes lit up when he heard this.
"have!"
After spending half a day in Jubaozhai, I prepared vases and tea sets for Lian Sui Sui. I also selected a few embroidery ornaments, Shoushan stone double lions embroidery seals, gold foil paintings...
Only then did he leave Jubaozhai with satisfaction.
This wedding gift was given to her cousins from the Chen family alone, and will be sent together with the gifts prepared by the palace tomorrow.
Sure enough, when she returned to the palace, Ji Ying approached her to discuss giving gifts.
Before Lian Suisui got married, the palace did not interact with any other family. Now Lian Suisui's relatives need to move around.
"This slave has made a list of gifts and asks the princess to take a look at it."
Ji Ying avoided the gifts prepared by Lian Suisui and listed some. After all, she came out of the palace and did everything flawlessly. These gifts were all very suitable.
Even Sui Sui had something to worry about.
"Send it over early tomorrow morning."
We had just decided on the gifts to be given when a servant came to report that something had arrived from Jubaozhai again.
Lian Suisui said in surprise: "I didn't buy anything!"
All the things she asked for have been sent back, so why send them again?
Do you really think of her as someone who was taken advantage of?
She rushed to the front yard angrily, only to see the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai flattering Chu Zhiyi, with that tone and look...
Lian Suisui stepped forward and blocked Chu Zhiyi behind him.
"Shopkeeper, where do you come to do business like this? You are buying and selling by force. You think my prince is easy to talk to so you bully us. Take your things and leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
The expression on the shopkeeper's face cracked, and Chu Zhiyi was also stunned, and then he covered his lips and laughed until he coughed.
"Princess, please listen to my explanation..."
The shopkeeper knew that she had misunderstood, but how could he explain it? Saying that Jubaozhai is the property of the palace in front of the servants is not a slap in the face of the princess in public?
The princess is embarrassed, isn't it her prince who is embarrassed?
How will he face his master in the future?
Chu Zhiyi pulled her sleeve and winked at the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai, who quickly ran away upon seeing this.
With so many things here, how much money does she have to spend out?
Lian Suisui had a black line on his face and was about to order his servants to send all the things back, don't even think about relying on her!
Jubaozhai is Chu Zhiyi's private property, and not many people know about it.
"You all stand down!"
The servants in the yard bowed their heads and retreated. Seeing this, Xiao Tao and Pei Shu followed Fu Shen and followed him.
"Jubaozhai is my private property. Whatever you like in the future, you can just take it."
There was a smile in his voice. Was he laughing at her for being embarrassed?
His private property?
Lian Suisui dug her toes into the ground in embarrassment. Fortunately, she thought just now that the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai came after her to buy and sell forcibly, but it turned out that it was all his orders!
Chu Zhiyi hooked her feet on the nearest box, picked it up and opened it. Inside lay the Izumo Bead she had seen.
"I asked him to pack up all the things you have seen, pick out a few you like and put them in the room, and take the rest back to the warehouse."
This Izumo bead is very beautiful, but it has no other purpose besides being beautiful. Lian Suisui likes it very much, but he doesn't know how to buy it. It is useless to just keep it, so it is better to sell it for money.
It hurt her to ask her to spend money on it, but now that Jubaozhai belonged to her family, she had a different idea.
"This thing can be sold for a lot of money!"
If you put it here, it would be equivalent to not earning a penny, and she began to feel distressed again.
