Chapter 320 Jade Storm Ji Song was a little confused, who else would he go to see when he got married?My elders and the elders of Youning's family will come. Your Majesty, it doesn't matter that your wife is a foster father and stepmother. Who else is there? Seeing Ji Song's confused eyes, Li Gang smiled and hit him, and scolded him with a smile: "Don't forget, this girl also has a cheap grandpa!"
"The Supreme Emperor?" Ji suddenly realized.
According to etiquette, even if You Ning is not a relative, she is still considered the granddaughter of that person. It would be inappropriate not to go by herself.
Ji Song got busy when he returned to the Hou Mansion. The teacher was right. Although the eldest grandson had political motives for accepting You Ning as his adopted daughter, after all, the deal was done. Even if he didn't want to, he had to hold his nose and admit it.
But how can I go to see Li Yuan empty-handed?Necessary gifts still need to be prepared.
However, as a former emperor, the current Supreme Emperor can be regarded as the most noble person in the Tang Dynasty.
Ordinary gifts would definitely not catch his eye. He couldn't just come up and give him some gold and silver, right?
If you do this, it will be good if you don't get thrown out.
It is best to have something that is not available at the moment and has a certain degree of playability. It should not be too superficial. After all, Li Yuan is currently staying in the palace and has no other hobbies besides making humans.
Therefore, for the long-term peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty, it was also for the sake of less royal family members being the worms in the world, and also for the sake of the emperor having less brothers who were younger than his own sons.
Ji Song decided that he would cultivate the emperor's new hobby! So, he called the housekeeper to explain, and then went to prepare. A strange thing has happened in Chang'an in the past few days. In fact, it is not a big deal. It is that the current Hao Jiehou has a new hobby.
Jade, good quality jade, must be of the same type and cannot have jade with different colors.
Zheng Li, the chief steward of the Marquis Mansion, has given orders to the people below to collect jade with all their strength. No matter how expensive it is, as long as it is good jade, they will be bought back.
At this time, all the managers under Hao Jiehou went crazy, and some even burst into tears.
why? Because their beloved Lord Marquis finally has a hobby. Although they have worked hard these years, they dare not slack off at all.
As a prince of the Tang Dynasty, a top nobleman, the prince has always been stoic. He would not go to brothels or casinos. Even the last time he went to Huashan, he was forced to do so.
In these years, they have never shown that they want anything. They have always felt that Mr. Hou has treated them too badly.
That's it, the Marquis finally reached out and asked them for something. Now it's their turn to show that it's time.
As a result, the jade market in Chang'an was in chaos for a while. All the shops that sold jade and the houses that had the best jade were patronized by the stewards of Hao Jiehou Mansion.
For everything, these people don't bargain at all. No matter how expensive the jade is, they don't even ask about the price.
"Ask your shopkeeper to come out."
Manager Qian walked into a jade shop, first looked at the goods inside, looked at the shopkeeper who hurriedly came out, and said disdainfully: "Is this how your store fools customers? Is this the only thing you have?"
There is someone behind this shop. I originally wanted to see who was so loud? But as soon as he saw Manager Qian, he immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Manager Qian? What kind of wind brought you here today?"
Although they were both in charge, but when he thought about himself and then looked at others, the shopkeeper felt sad for a while.
As the main person in charge of Chang'an's "An Xiang Lai", he usually receives either wealthy businessmen or wealthy families.
Normally I don't know why I feel envious, but I can only sigh secretly, why don't I have a head of the family who can make money?
"Go quickly and bring out the treasure of our store!"
He knew the purpose of Guanshi Qian's visit. In the past few days, all Chang'an knew that Marquis Hao had suddenly fallen in love with must also be the best quality jade, and ordinary ones are not worth mentioning.
Now people are making a full-scale campaign to buy jade. Even in the homes of some noble families, these people dare to go directly.
As long as there are some, they will basically be bought in one fell swoop. Of course, if you can buy them, you will have to pay for them, because they are not short of money at all!
As the recognized God of Wealth in Chang'an City, except for some aristocratic families with a long history, no one really dares to compete with Hao Yuhou Mansion for wealth.
Basically, everyone has no objections to the actions of the Hao Zhihou Mansion. They don't steal or rob. As long as the price is not outrageous, I will get the money for you that night.
"Look, this is the best jade in our store, the best purple jade, there are not many in the world!"
The shopkeeper is quite confident in his own jade. This top-quality purple jade was brought from the Western Regions by Hu merchants from outside the region. It cost a lot of money to get it.
"The most rare thing is that it is large enough. You are also an expert in this field. You must know how rare it is to have a top-quality jade that is large enough. I dare say that there is no jade larger than this in the whole of Chang'an."
Manager Qian ignored him. The moment he saw the jade, he knew that he had won this time.
"I want this piece of jade. Please tell me how much it costs and come directly to the house to get it."
After saying that, he asked someone to carefully install the jade, and then left without paying any attention to the shopkeeper.
How could the store clerk take the jade away when he saw it before paying for it? So, I quickly tried to stop him.
But before he could make any move, he was grabbed by his own shopkeeper.
Knowing that Manager Qian was far away, he said angrily: "In the future, we should be more careful with our recruitment. If there is someone in this world who owes money, it definitely does not include the Hao Jiehou Mansion. Think about how big their family fortune is, how can we be shortchanged by this?" money?"
The man suddenly realized that Hao Jiehou's reputation as the God of Wealth was well known in Chang'an, but he was a little unfounded.
"But we didn't quote a price. If he takes it away like this, what if we quote a high price and they don't accept it?" the clerk asked a little uneasily.
"You know what the heck, hurry up and find someone, let's go over and get the money. As for the price, let's just increase it by [-]% of the original price!" the shopkeeper said hesitantly.
"Ah! Only [-]%?"
The waiter felt that the shopkeeper was a little bit petty. When he met such a big business, if he didn't kill him now, how long would he wait?
The shopkeeper turned back and stared at the workman, staying on his face for a long time, and then said leisurely: "If it weren't for the sake of my dead girl, just what you said just now, you would have to get out of here right away. !”
Seeing the anxious look on the clerk's face, he slowed down and said earnestly: "You don't even know what his status is? Although the family is not afraid of him being a good man, there is still a certain bottom line."
"Do you really think that if people don't listen to our quotation, they can ask for extravagant prices?"
"That's because people know that we don't dare to arbitrarily quote a price. An increase of [-]% is already the limit. If I dare to arbitrarily quote a price, Hao Jiehou Mansion will definitely give it to me, but the two of us will probably have to go to a mass burial. Got on duty."
"Just remember, we can't get involved in matters between nobles, otherwise we won't know how we died."
The guy was a little scared now. After hearing this, he nodded quickly to show that he understood.
