The boss glanced at Ye Mingjin. The man in front of him was born with a dignified and handsome appearance. He knew that the visitor's status was not low, so he quickly nodded and bowed.
Mu Xiyan saw that the boss listened to Ye Mingjin's words and really wanted to jump out and shout,""Don't judge a book by its cover! I'm also very rich, okay? I'm a rich man! He was a tycoon! He's a rich second-generation heir!" After thinking about it, she decided to forget it. After all, her husband was in front of her, so she couldn't embarrass herself…
The two of them sat at the table while Zi Zhu and Luo Qing stood behind them. After a while, the boss brought out a few rectangular plates covered with red cloth and placed them in front of Ye Mingjin and Mu Xiyan.
Mu Xiyan uncovered the red cloth on the first plate, and several pairs of medium-sized jade bracelets appeared in front of her. Mu Xiyan only glanced at them and did not even pick them up before looking at the next plate. There was an emerald necklace and a gilded suet necklace on the plate. Mu Xiyan then flipped open the third plate and saw a large and round black pearl.
Only then did Mu Xiyan's gaze freeze. When he was in the Imperial Palace, he had heard that black pearls were very rare in this era. There was only a small portion of them in the Imperial Palace, and it could be said that they were expensive. From the smooth and round black pearl in front of him, it could be considered a high-grade one.
"How much is this pearl?" Mu Xiyan asked.
"Miss, you really have good eyes. Black pearls are not common, but this black pearl is the biggest one in Nan Yu. It is the treasure of our shop and is extremely precious. Look at its luster. It is rare for Miss to ask, so I will sell it to Miss for one million taels.”The boss introduced with a smile, as if he had already seen the white snowflake silver enter his pocket.
Mu Xiyan rolled her eyes. One million taels? You might as well go rob! What kind of joke was this? You said that it was the biggest black pearl, but I'm afraid that you haven't seen even bigger ones. Only a ghost would buy it by raising the price so high!
"Boss, can you guarantee that this is the biggest one in Nan Yu?”Mu Xiyan asked.
"Of course, this lowly one will not lie to you. This pearl is definitely the largest one.”The boss raised three fingers in an exaggerated manner and promised.
"Alright, let's go. Sorry to disturb you, Boss." Mu Xiyan pulled Ye Mingjin up and was about to leave when the boss panicked and quickly stopped her.""Miss, don't you want this pearl? This is really priceless!"
"Yes, the boss's asking price seems a little high. We are all ordinary people, how can we have a million taels?”Mu Xiyan smiled and declined politely.
"Young Lady must be joking. Since Young Lady is so knowledgeable, you must be an expert. Seeing Young Lady and Young Master's extraordinary temperament, you must be rich. A mere 100 taels of silver is definitely not a problem for Young Lady.”The boss flattered. No matter how precious a pearl was, it was still a dead thing if it could not be sold. It was not easy for a rich owner to come, so he could not let it go.
"No need, let's go." Mu Xiyan ignored him, turned around, and walked out. As soon as he stepped out, the boss instantly stopped smiling and waved his sleeves in the direction of the group of people leaving. He snorted coldly and muttered,"How dare you come to our Green Luan Jade if you don't have money!”
He turned around and walked into the shop. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. The smile on the boss's face deepened. He stroked his beard and came up with a plan.
"If Yan 'er likes it, I can buy it for Yan' er.”Ye Mingjin interrupted Mu Xiyan, who was deep in thought, when they walked back to the street.
"That pearl can be considered a high-grade item, but it's not the best. I don't have to take it. I'm just casually strolling around.”Mu Xiyan refused. She didn't want Ye Mingjin to spend millions just to make her happy. She would be too wasteful!
"Ruoyan 'er likes black pearls, and there are countless of them in the White Jade Palace.”Ye Mingjin said slowly.
What was that? White Jade Palace had many Black Pearls? Countless? Hearing this, Mu Xiyan was stunned. She knew that White Jade Palace was rich, but she didn't expect it to be so rich!
"Can you give me a few to play with?" Mu Xiyan asked blankly.
"It's all Yan 'er's." Ye Mingjin said dotingly.
Hearing Ye Mingjin's words, Mu Xiyan was overjoyed. Did that mean she could roll around in a pile of pearls? He was also a tycoon, haha!
At night, Ye Mingjin told Mu Xiyan to rest early, saying that they had to leave early in the morning. He went to another room to discuss matters with Zi Zhu and Luo Qing.
"Master, Flowing Maple sent a messenger pigeon saying that the Emperor intends to personally head to the Sunset Valley and will set off in five days.”Purple Bamboo opened a small note and handed it to Ye Mingjin.
Ye Mingjin frowned and fell into deep thought. His face was filled with displeasure.
"I understand." After a long while, Ye Mingjin said in a low voice," Ask Flowing Maple to find out the emperor's schedule and report to me as soon as possible."”After thinking about Mu Xiyan, Ye Mingjin decided not to let her see that person.
After giving his instructions, Ye Mingjin gently returned to his room and looked at the woman on the bed. He couldn't get enough of her peaceful sleeping face. Perhaps he shouldn't have let her come with him, but his heart told him that he must see her every moment.
Ye Mingjin gently hugged Mu Xiyan and closed his eyes in peace.
After some time, Mu Xiyan heard a series of hurried knocks on the door and suddenly woke up. Ye Mingjin was already sitting at the table. He gave Mu Xiyan a reassuring look and opened the door. A large number of soldiers stood outside the door. Zi Zhu and Luo Qing were guarding Ye Mingjin and Mu Xiyan's door, arguing with the soldiers. The arrival of the soldiers had already alarmed everyone in the inn. They all put on their clothes and gathered in twos and threes to discuss.
Mu Xiyan only took a glance before she turned over and went back to sleep. No matter what happened, Ye Mingjin would definitely be able to solve it.
"What happened?" Ye Mingjin walked out of the room and asked with a frown.
"Grandpa!" Zi Zhu and Luo Qing cupped their fists and said to Ye Mingjin,"" The owner of the Green Phoenix Jade has framed us for stealing his Black Pearl." Luo Qing's usually gentle face could not hide his anger. White Jade Palace was the wealthiest in the world. Why would they care about a mere Black Pearl?
"The owner of the Green Luan Jade is the magistrate's relative. How dare you steal his things and offend the magistrate?" The magistrate shouted. Men, take them away!"
"Who dares!" Zi Zhu's expression turned cold as she shouted. Her voice was extremely cold.
The bailiff was a little shocked by Zi Zhu's aura, but with so many people watching, how could he continue to be listless? If he didn't do this job well, he wouldn't be able to keep his job.
"It's not up to you!" The leading bailiff immediately mustered up some courage and shouted. The innkeeper had already put on a long face and said,"Official, is there a mistake?" One had to know that if a case happened in the inn, it would easily affect business.
"If they are wrongly accused, the magistrate will make the decision. However, the owner of the Green Phoenix Jade said that they stole it, so they are the most suspicious. No matter what, they have to come with us!”When the bailiff saw that someone had finally stepped forward and softened his tone, he quickly found a way out. Looking at these people, especially the man in the golden brocade robe, his inherent dignity made him a little afraid. He believed that they were not to be trifled with. What kind of errand was this?
