famous eldest daughter

Chapter 873 Rules
Unlike Xiaozhu, Li Fei looked serious, "Yes, since you keep saying that this was given to me by Madam Weiyuan Marquis, then call the boss of Fengchai Tower and ask, and you will know that this thing, Was it Mrs. Weiyuan Hou who beat her out of Fengchai Tower?"

When the emperor heard Concubine Li's words, he immediately got angry. The rocker and the earrings were all Concubine Mei's old things. He sent the chamberlain to go to Fengchai Tower to make them in person. They were given to Concubine Mei at that time. At that time, it really caused a stir in the palace. Concubine Li was attached to the queen that day, how could she not know it.

To actually say such a thing shows that he has ulterior motives.

His anger rose, and the emperor immediately opened his mouth to deny it, but Xiao Yu beat him to it, "It would be a good idea to call and ask. This thing is an old possession of Concubine Mei. It was so good that it ended up in the hands of Madam Weiyuan Hou. After being sent to Concubine Li after a while, ask the people in Fengchai Tower, maybe they can really have any clues."

Originally she wanted to strive for innocence, but as soon as Xiao Yu said this, Concubine Li suddenly felt uneasy and looked at Xiao Yu suspiciously.

Xiao Yu didn't even look at her, he just said to the emperor: "Father, please remember that this rocker and earrings were given to Concubine Mei by the emperor that day. Logically speaking, these things are absolutely perfect." It shouldn't have escaped from the palace. After the Mei Concubine incident that day, it was inevitable that some palace servants with evil intentions would steal it and sell it. According to Erchen, it might as well be even for those pawnshop owners in Kyoto who dared to collect the palace objects. , call them together."

There are many pawnshops in Kyoto, but not everyone dares to accept everything.

There doesn't seem to be anything strange about the peony-headed steps, but because the logo of Fengchai Tower is engraved on it, even if it doesn't come from the palace, it comes from a place with noble families. Ordinary pawnshops naturally don't dare to mess with it. This kind of business.

In this way, the scope is reduced a lot.

The emperor nodded when he heard the words and ordered: "Follow His Highness the Fourth Prince and send the person here quickly."

When the servant receives the order, he executes it immediately.

For a moment, the air in the imperial study room seemed to be frozen by the cold air outside, making it so solid that it made people breathless. The fine sand in the hourglass flowed down, indicating that time passed inch by inch.

Finally, when Concubine Li was kneeling and her legs were numb, a young chambermaid ushered seven people in.

Even though these seven people are all the most prestigious shopkeepers in Kyoto, in the final analysis they are just ordinary people.

What kind of realm is the imperial palace, and what kind of realm is the imperial study room? In front of the Holy Master, everyone couldn't help but tremble in their legs and feet. They followed the little chamberlain all the way to where they were side by side with Mr. Gan. Before the little chamberlain could reply, they started to eat dumplings one by one. Kneeling down, he didn't even dare to raise his head from beginning to end. His eyes were fixed on the ground, and he didn't dare to move his eyes. Only the beads of sweat on his forehead fell down.

"The common people come to see the emperor!" He followed the words taught by the little chamberlain before coming in, and greeted him with a trembling voice.

The emperor tried his best to be approachable and said "Yes", "Get up and talk."

The young chamberlain lowered his head and glanced at the few people on the ground. He quickly gave a wry smile and raised his head to say to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid they won't be able to stand, so let them kneel."

Even when he was kneeling on the ground, he was trembling like chaff. How could he stand upright?

The emperor accepted his intention and did not force it. He nodded, pointed to the tray with the oscillating weight and the earrings, and said, "Let them take a look, but I have seen it before."

When the head waiter picked up the tray, he bent down and handed it to them, "Look carefully!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

There was a chorus of voices, and the eyes moved. After a quick look, only two people said they had seen it.

One was the shopkeeper of Fengchai Tower and the other was the shopkeeper of Xuantong Pawnshop in Kyoto. Apart from these two, the rest were taken out by the little chamberlain.

Pointing to the shopkeeper of Fengchai Tower, the emperor said: "Tell me first, when have you seen him?" As he spoke, he glanced at Concubine Li and Mrs. Gan. During this time, Concubine Li's eyes were fixed on the shopkeeper of Fengchai Tower. He looked solemn, but Gan's face was livid, and he looked shaky and almost fainting.

Seeing this, the speculation in the emperor's heart deepened.

The shopkeeper of Fengchai Tower obviously had a clear memory of this gold jewelry. When the emperor finished speaking, he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately spoke with a trembling voice, "Many years ago, there was a father-in-law in the palace who came to Fengchai with a painted pattern. Chai Lou made a plan to make this style of step rocker and the matching earrings. The father-in-law was extraordinary, but he appointed the most exquisite craftsman in Feng Chai Lou, and asked him to put aside all the work at hand and just work alone. Complete this order first, as for the losses caused, he should bear the compensation, so Cao Min has a very deep memory of this step."

The generous father-in-law was naturally the chamberlain, and the tricks were naturally drawn by the emperor himself.

When he finished speaking, the emperor hummed slightly, "Have you ever seen Bu Yao like this again since then?"

The shopkeeper of Fengchai Tower nodded, "I've seen it before. Just three or four months ago, a woman from Weiyuan Hou Mansion took this rocker and earrings to Fengchai Tower and wanted to renovate them."

When the four words "Weiyuan Houfu" were spoken, the plain Gan family and the anxious Li Fei immediately looked like cats whose tails had been stepped on. The cats all opened their eyes and looked straight at the shopkeeper of Fengchailou, " You’re talking nonsense!”

Duan said in unison.

The shopkeeper of Fengchailou, who was already out of his mind because of the imperial reply, was scolded by Concubine Li and Mrs. Gan. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground with his forehead firmly pressed against the ground, and his shoulders and back were trembling. , "The common people dare not..."

The sound almost made me cry.

The emperor glanced at Concubine Li and Mrs. Gan with angry eyes and said, "Let him finish." His voice was not loud, but it was filled with the anger of grinding teeth and bleeding, and it was so deep that it made people feel liver-stricken.

Li Fei's tongue flickered suddenly, and she dared not say the following words again.

"You continue!" The emperor said, pointing to the shopkeeper of Fengchai Tower who was lying on the ground, almost touching the ground.

The shopkeeper of Fengchai Tower took a few breaths and said tremblingly: "The rules of Fengchai Tower are that all gold ornaments shipped are not refurbished, let alone repaired. No one who can afford Fengchai Tower's gold ornaments will No one would care about whether this gold jewelry is durable, and no one would wear this gold jewelry all year round. Even though the things in Fengchai Tower are ridiculously expensive, these things are almost all disposable items for the powerful and wealthy. . Therefore, I should refuse it.”

"This is the first time I have encountered someone who wants to refurbish the gold jewelry shipped from Fengchai Tower, and the other party is the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, which is the richest in the world, so the common people are deeply impressed. On weekdays, his house is in Fengchai House. Chai Lou also customized a lot of gold jewelry.”

The things from Fengchailou demand sky-high prices, but the quality is really not flattering.

Many jewelry have scratches after just wearing them once or twice. However, as the shopkeeper of Fengchailou said, their things are bought at this price. Who would really carry a piece of jewelry with them all year round? !

Those who buy his stuff are not short of accessories.

What you are pursuing is just respectability.
