Chapter 378: Concubine Qi, this is the first treasure, how about I come and show my support?

Marquis of Qingyang.

As the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, how could Xiao Lou's wife not know about this newly rising war marquis of the Great Qin?

Although there were not many rumors in the imperial city about this new war lord who came from the Black Ice Platform in the border county, only the lower classes knew about it.

The important officials in the court all knew that as long as this war marquis successfully passed the trial and assessment, he would surely become a new upstart in the court in the future.

"No wonder..." the woman whispered, looking out the window.

At this time, Prince Ying Luo of Gu Wang was already sitting in a quiet room on the second floor.

The two accompanying guards lowered their voices and reported the investigation information.

"Sir, Master Qi Yan of the Qi Censor family has arrived. He has a close relationship with you and will definitely be able to make an appearance this time."

"There is also the one from Minister Feng's family. He has long wanted to make friends with the Crown Prince and has been invited to be here today."

Ying Luo listened quietly with a smile on his face.

He knew that Ying Yuruo had some abilities.

He didn't expect that this disruption would really ruin Ying Yuruo's business.

It would be enough for him to let the merchant families in the imperial city know that Yuyuan Trading Company was not without its daring enemies.

Moreover, as long as today's incident reaches the ears of Concubine Qi, I believe Concubine Qi will not want to cause too much trouble for an unrelated princess.

third floor.

A quiet room.

Wang Qinian brought the teacup to the table with a smile on his face.

"Hey, why bother the Marquis of Changning to personally take charge of such a small matter at Yuyuan Trading Company?"

Hearing his words, Changning Marquis Su Jing, who was wearing green casual clothes, turned his head.

"I'm also curious. Those of us who trained together at the Black Ice Platform back then are now at least the chiefs of a region or military commanders, right?"

"Why are you, Wang Qinian, becoming more and more useless?"

Marquis Changning's words made Wang Qinian grin.

"What are you talking about? Didn't you see that I was the one who dragged Qingyang Hou into the Black Ice Platform?"

"You are in high positions, ignorant of the sufferings of the world. I, Wang Qinian, have worked so hard to accumulate merits, but you just take them away with ease. I want to be promoted, but how can I get promoted without any merits?"

Holding the teacup and taking two sips of hot tea, Wang Qinian turned and walked out.

"I'm going to check out what's going on backstage. Zhang Yuan isn't here, so I have to keep an eye on things for him..."

Seeing Wang Qinian walk out of the quiet room, Su Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of shrewdness.

"The position of Chief of the Xuanji Division has been vacant for many years. Who has the Chief's Iron Order?"

……

First floor of Yuyuan Commercial Bank.

In the backstage, more than ten girls in robes and long skirts of various colors, as well as several shopkeepers in brocade robes were waiting.

Zhao Yu, wearing a Confucian robe, was holding the arm of a girl in a pink dress.

"Yueyao, you have to believe in yourself. It's just selling a commodity."

Zhao Yu, with a smile on his face, held the girl down. Seeing her nervous expression, he whispered, "You own half of the three thousand taels of original price for this Pure Water Buddha Bottle. You'll earn half of whatever you sell it for now."

"Yueyao, you and Mr. Qin are in love with each other, right? Now that you've earned a dowry, you'll have more confidence in the future."

Zhao Yu's words made the girls around him smile.

The girl named Ying Yueyao blushed but nodded.

Just as Zhao Yu said, she was just an ordinary illegitimate daughter of the royal family, and Master Qin also had an ordinary family background.

If you have the opportunity to save some dowry, your future life will be easier.

"it is good."

Nodding, Ying Yueyao took a deep breath, and was pushed by Zhao Yu to the front desk.

------------------

Anyone who is chosen by the clan house and becomes a candidate for princess must have a good appearance and figure.

When Ying Yueyao walked to the front desk, many people's eyes lit up.

"That's Princess Yuruo?"

Some people knew Princess Yuruo's identity but did not recognize her, so they turned around and asked the people around them.

"It is said that the royal family is behind Yuyuan Trading Company. Is this the person?"

Someone looked at the girl standing on the stage and spoke curiously.

The lobby suddenly became noisy.

"She's quite graceful. Isn't she Princess Yuruo?" The woman beside Concubine Qi turned and asked softly. "This is Princess Yueyao, from Sanmiao County."

A female official behind Concubine Qi responded.

In another quiet room, Yu Kuizhen had already handed a book to the emperor.

This booklet contains information about the treasures sold by the business, as well as an introduction to the identity of the person in charge of the sales.

"The Prince of Zhengchuan Mansion in Sanmiao County is the concubine daughter of Prince of Zhengchuan Ying Tao, right?"

The emperor whispered, not needing an answer, but just recalling such a name.

However, for the imperial family, it is a rare opportunity to have their names remembered by the emperor. Who knows, maybe they will be reused someday.

On the second floor, in a quiet room, the young man in Confucian robes who was sitting in the front stood up with a look of surprise on his face.

He turned his head nervously and whispered, "Dad, Mom, this is Yueyao."

"I, I never told her my identity, so she just thought I was an ordinary scholar studying in the imperial city."

Hearing his words, the old man with green beard sitting behind the long desk nodded but said nothing.

On the other hand, the woman in brocade robe standing beside her had a look of curiosity on her face as her eyes fell on the stage.

"She looks good, has the courage to preside over the sale here, and is a royal family member. She can become the daughter-in-law of my Qin family."

These words made the young man in Confucian robe breathe a sigh of relief.

"Dear guests, today Yuyuan Trading Company is selling treasures from the Liangyuan Territory. Each one is a rare treasure that is hard to find in the world."

"I believe that if I can bring back a treasure, or even if I can see it with my own eyes, I will not disappoint you."

On the stage, Ying Yueyao's voice was clear.

After all, she is a lady of the royal family and has been educated in the clan house. When she is in a real situation, her words and actions are all generous and natural.

Such a person is definitely not found in an ordinary business.

As Ying Yueyao spoke, the entire hall gradually quieted down.

Everyone is curious about the background of the business and the treasures in Liangyuan Territory.

Ying Yueyao raised her hand and two maids came forward, holding a pair of jade vases in their hands.

"The Pure Water Buddha Bottle is a tribute treasure from the Liangyuan Territory. It is carved entirely from green jade and has three thousand Buddha patterns engraved on it..."

Ying Yueyao's clear voice echoed in the lobby.

The introduction of this treasure bottle made many people's eyes light up.

"This pair of vases can produce three ounces of pure water every three days. This pure water can clear the mind and eyes, cleanse the body, and purify the soul."

"In business, three ounces of clean water alone is worth a hundred ounces of silver."

Ying Yueyao swept her gaze across the audience and chuckled, "Of course, the guests don't care about this little bit of output, but displaying treasures like these in the hall is also pleasing to the eye, isn't it?"

Seeing that many people below had impatience in their eyes, Ying Yueyao walked to the wooden table.

"This pair of vases is worth five thousand taels of gold. Which guest would like to take them away?"

Five thousand taels of gold, original capital of three thousand taels, profit of two thousand taels.

Ying Yueyao has half of the capital and can earn one thousand taels of gold.

Without the opportunity given by Princess Yuruo, it would have been difficult for her, as a concubine's daughter of a county princess, to earn the 1,000 taels of gold even in ten years.

Taking a deep breath, Ying Yueyao looked at the audience.

There was silence in the lobby for a moment.

"Empress Qi, this is the first treasure. How about I come and show my support?" A low voice sounded in a quiet room.

"Your Highness, since you want to do Marquis Qingyang a favor, why not just take this first treasure?" In another quiet room, the green-robed scholar beside the eldest prince spoke.

"Husband, this vase looks nice. How about I bid for it?" The woman beside Xiao Lou said softly.

"Since it is the treasure that Yueyao is selling, my Qin family must show its support. My Qin family wants this treasure." In a quiet room, the woman in brocade robe chuckled, and a hint of excitement appeared on the face of the young man in front of her.

In the quiet room, Prince Ying Luo of Guwang narrowed his eyes.

In another quiet room, a young man in a gray robe slowly stood up.

"This store is really bullying customers. How dare they ask for five thousand taels of gold for a pair of broken porcelain bottles?"

"In my opinion, this item is worth at most fifty taels of silver."

The voice rang out, and the hall fell silent again.

In those quiet rooms, many people frowned.

Ying Yueyao, standing on the stage, had a look of confusion in her eyes.

In the quiet room on the third floor, Marquis Changning slowly narrowed his eyes.
