I bring my game account back to ancient times to do business
Chapter 266 Plan
Prime Minister's Mansion.
After breakfast, Mrs. Wei, surrounded by the female relatives of the Prime Minister's Mansion, went for a walk in the huge garden to rest. After everyone sat down in the flower hall, a servant girl hurriedly came to report with a flattering face.
"Madam~" The maid got the approval, then entered the flower hall and saluted everyone, "A young lady selling jewelry came outside and said that she made it at home. The maid thought it was good, so she boldly asked Madam if she would like some.
Is she coming in?"
A woman dressed as a concubine snorted disdainfully: "Don't we have any good jewelry in our house? Are we going to buy it from these small merchants? Wouldn't it be a joke to spread the word!"
Other ladies also joined in.
The servant woman argued: "My maid thought so too, but she showed me those hairpins. They are really strange and exquisite. I have never seen them outside!"
Mrs. Wei nodded: "Let her come in."
"yes."
The servant responded and left.
Not long after, a plainly dressed woman carrying a dowry cabinet came over from the Yueying Gate.
She wanted to find trouble with Mrs. Xue's third wife, but she couldn't just go to Xue's house in a daze. It was too purposeful. Otherwise, if a strange businessman came to the front house, something would happen to the back house.
, this is too obvious and easy for people to relate to.
Yun Xuemei's box contains various types of hairpins such as folded hairpins, half-moon hairpins, and flower hairpins. However, unlike the popular styles nowadays, the decorative craftsmanship of these hairpins is based on the carving techniques of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
, whether it is hollowing out, pattern engraving or gem inlay, the Dian Cui technology far surpasses the level of the Tang Dynasty.
Mrs. Li thought about it and felt that what she said was right, so she nodded and reluctantly agreed.
Yun Xuemei replied: "Ladies, this jewelry is indeed made of jadeite, but it is not made of kingfisher feathers, but peacock feathers."
The young women present covered their mouths one after another to prevent themselves from losing their temper and screaming. However, every woman's eyes were filled with envy. They stared at these beautiful hairpins one by one and couldn't put them down.
"Wow--"
Miss Li said repeatedly: "Speaking of which, don't you have a green fur made of peacock feathers? It seems to have been rewarded by Concubine Hui."
"That green fur coat is made of peacock tail feathers, but this hairpin is made of peacock feathers." Mrs. Wei looked at Yun Xuemei with bright eyes: "How much do you sell these hairpins for?"
Mrs. Wei nodded with satisfaction and disagreed with this sentence: "That's wrong! Although this peacock feather was common in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Shu, when it came to Chang'an and Luoyang, it was still comparable to the tributes in the palace. In the past, Princess Anle had white bird feathers
They are made into woven skirts, and the most precious one is the peacock feathers!"
Who is this if not Yun Xuemei?
But now she has dressed up in disguise. Today she is wearing an ordinary Gebu round-neck robe, and the bun that wraps her hair is made of fine materials. Her face is covered with thick makeup, and she tries her best to portray her facial features as mediocre.
She really looks like an ordinary city woman with a slightly better family background.
"I see. Then open the jewelry you sell and show it to us."
Returning to Jiefu, she went to the washbasin and filled up hot water to wash her face.
Mrs. Li proudly put her favorite tassel hairpin on her head and said, "I will go out to Luohe River with my sisters at night to see the river lanterns. I will wear this and let them envy me!"
Mrs. Wei didn't like the concubine's pettiness and looked at her displeased: "Fourteenth Mother!"
Yun Xuemei put down the box she was carrying and opened it gently.
The woman walked into the flower hall, bowed to the ladies, and said, neither humble nor arrogant, "Young women have met Madam, ladies and gentlemen."
Mrs. Wei sat upright on the chair, leaning on the back of the chair, stretching her head forward, and asked her: "What is your last name and where are you from?"
"No wonder."
Yun Xuemei reported the number, which was twice as expensive as the most expensive jewelry on the market.
"yes."
These women grew up in Chang'an and have never traveled far. They have never seen what a living peacock looks like. At most, they have only seen paintings! But after seeing these beautiful and shiny jewelry, they can imagine it.
Another aunt was also amazed: "It looks much better than the Diancui sold in the market. Look, this velvet texture has different colors when viewed from different angles under the sun!"
Mrs. Wei also held a emerald phoenix hairpin in her hand. This style is more dignified and a bit old-fashioned, but she is over fifty this year, and those fancy and delicate jewelry are not suitable for her. This one is just right.
The aunt flattered her and said, "Our family is extremely wealthy now, so why should we follow the fashion like those small families?"
The lifelike phoenix with tassels on its head, the golden pavilion of the heavenly palace, the colorful flowers and trees inlaid with precious stones...
She asked with great interest: "How did you do it?"
Yun Xuemei quickly flattered her: "Think about it! You are the first to wear such jewelry, so the ladies who wear these jewelry after you are just following your trend. Aren't you a fashion benchmark among noble ladies?
What's more, not all families are as wealthy as the Prime Minister's Mansion. At the price of these jewelry, some young ladies who want to be like you can't afford it."
"Peacock feathers?"
Yun Xuemei politely told the false identity she had made up for herself: "A commoner girl's surname is Tang. She is from Shu. She has made jewelry for generations. She came to Luoyang with her husband to make a living."
Mrs. Li's eyes widened: "What? You want to sell it to other people? No, not allowed! You can only sell new jewelry to our house!"
A young junior girl said regretfully: "But it sounds like it is not as precious as the real Dian Cui. What has always been popular in Chang'an is Dian Cui jewelry made of real kingfisher feathers."
What happened today can be considered a good start.
Yun Xuemei smiled flatteringly and said: "Then please, little lady, please give me a few words of praise for the folk girl. During the past few days, the folk girl is taking advantage of the peony season, everyone is here to enjoy the flowers, and I would like to visit more families."
Unexpectedly, the Li family didn't even blink an eye. They kept saying that such a price was worthy of the Li family's status. They paid the cash on the spot and kept all the jewelry.
"This is Dian Cui? This is so beautiful!" A aunt held a Dian Cui hairpin and looked at it from left to right, admiring it.
Yun Xuemei plans to visit all the powerful families in Luoyang in the past few days, and mix the Xue family among them, so that she will not appear to have come to the Xue family deliberately. After she completes the task, no one will
I won't associate this little lady selling jewelry with him.
"Yes. Blue peacocks are common in Sichuan. The feathers on their necks are as textured as velvet and are very beautiful blue. When the girl was in Shuzhong in the early years, she also raised peacocks at home and accumulated a lot of feathers."
Yun Xuemei was invited down to have a bowl of tea and left the Prime Minister's Mansion later.
While wiping her face with a wet towel, she thought over and over again about her plan. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips and reveal a smile with unknown meaning.
At the same time, Qiao Yun was riding with Wang Jinzhi in a carriage, rushing to Xue Mansion.
