Chapter 74 The Great Goal

At night, when Chu Nanxiao asked, Wang Shu had nothing to say, and there was nothing wrong with it. After all, Jiang Yue’s money was spent on the righteous way, and she didn’t deduct a single point.

After following this for a few days, Wang Shu was finally called back by Chu Nanxiao, and he no longer followed Jiang Yue's master and servant.

On this day, the weather was fine, and Jiang Yue walked on the streets of Shijing, and heaved a sigh of relief, "The investigation period is finally over!"

"Master, what stage of investigation?" Xia Zhu didn't understand.

Jiang Yue approached her ear mysteriously, "That is to say, there is no Wang Shu looking at the two of us now, your master, I can do whatever I want."

Xia Zhu blinked and blinked, "So that's how it is!"

"By the way, what are you going to buy today?" Jiang Yue asked.

The little maid looked at the list in her hand, and said a lot, "My lord needs an inkstone, the vases in the house also need to be replaced, and..."

Jiang Yue rubbed her temples with a headache, and said after a while, "Xia Zhu, do the math, should we buy the vase or make it ourselves?"

Xia Zhu didn't understand what his master meant, but he still replied, "Master, refining porcelain requires many steps, which is more laborious and expensive than buying it."

Jiang Yue, who wanted to dig some soil and make a few vases to meet the errands, temporarily gave up this idea, and then said.

"Are all the four treasures of Chu Nanxiao's study made to order?" Come to think of it, King Ping Nan didn't use inferior things.

Xia Zhu nodded, "That's right, they are all made by specific workshops."

Jiang Yue clicked her tongue, "It's really expensive, let's go, let's buy the four treasures of the study first!"

"Master, it's not this direction!" Seeing Jiang Yue walking in the opposite direction, Xia Zhu hurriedly shouted.

But someone looked back at her, "That's right, this is where we're going."

Xia Zhu, "???" Aren't you going to buy the Four Treasures of the Study?
Soon, Jiang Yue stopped in front of a small vendor, and saw everything on the ground, including not only pens, inks, papers and inkstones, but also some bottles and jars that looked poor in quality.

Seeing this, Xia Zhu felt even worse, "Master, what do you want to do?"

Jiang Yue ignored her, just squatted down, and picked up a dark but square inkstone, "How much is this thing?"

The stall owner was very enthusiastic, "Miss, you can take it home with only [-] Wen!"

Jiang Yue's eyes lit up when she heard the price she was satisfied with, "Cheaper?"

The little brother is a little embarrassed, the main thing is that the silk and satin on Jiang Yue's body is very expensive at first glance, and she doesn't look like someone who can't afford it.

"Miss, twenty cents is already very cheap. I am also a small business."

The conversation between the two reached Xia Zhu's ears, and the little girl was stunned. Did the master really want to buy things from here? She clearly saw tiny cracks on the dark inkstone. She might have gone back not long after. It's broken!

Jiang Yue didn't know what the little girl was thinking, and picked up a brush from the stall, "How much is this!"

Brother, "Five cents."

"This one!" Jiang Yue took another fancy to a vase.

"Twelve pennies."

"..."

In the end, Jiang Yue took two vases, an inkstone, two brushes, and a little ink, a total of 58 Wen. She watched the little brother wrap things up, and finally frowned and asked, "I bought so much, it's cheaper." .”

"Miss, if you buy it sincerely, you can give me a price."

Jiang Yue was also embarrassed to suppress the price too hard, so she just said, "Well, I'll give you fifty Wen."

"Miss, eight cents is not cheap, it is enough for my family's meals for several days."

How could it be possible, Jiang Yue didn't believe it, she paid a penny for a bun, but the other party's clothes were really shabby, it was almost winter and she was still wearing mended single clothes.

She pondered for a moment, and finally gave the other party a hundred coins, which was considered a good deed.

"Xia Zhu, grab your things, let's go."

The little maid followed behind her obediently.

"Miss, you gave too much!" The little brother grabbed the one hundred copper coins in his hand and shouted hastily.

Jiang Yue didn't turn her head back, "It's not easy to see you, I'll give you the rest."

The little brother was very moved, "Thank you miss, thank you..."

Jiang Yue did the math, one tael of silver was a thousand taels of silver, and the four treasures of the study, including the vase, were almost bought, so it only cost a hundred taels of silver, and Su Meier gave her 20 taels of silver.

Next, no matter how good things are bought, she can't spend so much money, and she can keep the rest in her own small coffers.

"As for the rouge and gouache, we will buy it tomorrow, let's go back first!" She now has a better idea.

Back at the palace, Jiang Yue added some paintings on them to make the two low-quality vases look better. She is good at painting, so it looks really interesting.

After the dye on the vase dried up, Jiang Yue and Xia Zhu came to the man's study while Chu Nanxiao was away.

Jiang Yue saw the exquisite inkstone and writing brush on someone's desk almost at a glance. She naturally stepped forward, replaced all these items with the defective ones she had just bought, and ordered Xia Zhu to pack them up.

The little maid was about to cry, "Master, the four treasures of the prince's study are still very new, there is no need to change them."

Jiang Yue shook her head, "You can't let the prince use the old ones, he must use the newest and best ones, and we will leave these old ones for us to deal with."

"But..." Even the old things are much better than the ones they bought just now. How can those things be considered the latest and the best? Xia Zhu looked at Jiang Yue in confusion.

"Why, the one I bought is not good." Jiang Yue understood what the little maid was thinking, and gently put her black inkstone on the table, very satisfied, "Look at her dark and charming figure , not worse than Chu Nanxiao's stuff."

While talking, she put the shedding brush into Chu Nanxiao's brush.

In the end, he replaced the ink on the man's table and the vase placed not far away. After finishing all this, he hugged the discarded things in his arms and left happily.

Xia Zhu looked back three times at every step, wanting to throw away the inferior products, but with Jiang Yue's pressure, he just gave up his unrealistic idea.

I can only pray that the prince will not find out the situation, she is really powerless to stop Zi Zi! ! !
After doing all this, Jiang Yue took Xia Zhu out for the second time, and secretly exchanged Chu Nanxiao's Four Treasures of the Study into money, a total of 15 taels of silver. The moment she got the bank note, Jiang Yue let out a long sigh.

With a great goal.

"Master, is it really okay for you to be like this?" Xia Zhu couldn't stand it any longer.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yue watched the little girl's mouth swell, and she had already eaten more than half of the candied haws in her hand.

"Candied gourds are bad? Or fried chestnuts are bad?" Jiang Yue snorted, "You need money to buy these, and..."

She added, "Do you still want to eat fish-flavored shredded pork?"

Thinking of the supreme delicacy, Xia Zhu nodded unconsciously, "Think!"

Jiang Yue said bitterly, "Since we want to eat, we have to work hard to earn money." Yuxiang shredded pork is very expensive, and the 15 taels in her hand can't afford it.

If they want to be popular and drink spicy food, their master and servant must work together and work hard to make money.

"Oh!" Xia Zhu stopped talking.
