PFC Chapter 206 Glass Blind Box
Chapter 206 Glass Blind Box
There will never be a shortage of rich people at any time or under any circumstances.
Mr. Lin drank two extra glasses of wine during a social gathering last night and had thought he could sleep a little longer today. However, early in the morning, a gong sounded outside, which made his ears buzz and he could no longer sleep.
He stood up irritably and ordered his personal servant Chunxi, "Go out and see what's going on outside!"
Chunxi responded and ran out quickly without delay.
There were two carriages loaded with many wooden boxes parked outside. A girl in green was beating a gong and explaining something to the servants of Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chen next door. Chunxi went over to listen.
The girl in green casually took a wooden box from the carriage and opened it. "See? Such a glass bracelet only costs ten taels of silver."
She took out the colorful beads and showed them to the three servants one by one.
Chunxi swallowed his saliva. His master had become fascinated with colored glass in recent years and had collected several strings of it. Each string was worth tens or even hundreds of taels, but none of them was as clear as the one in the hands of the girl in green.
He can read, but he doesn't understand what the so-called "blind box" means.
"Miss, what does this blind box mean?" Chunxi thought he was a servant who had seen the world following his master, and when he saw the other two remained silent, he straightened his back and asked.
While someone was paying attention, Yu Chaosheng collected the silver and returned it to the space, then took it back to the inn to rest. He asked Long Bayi to run a trip and ask everyone in the inn to come over quickly and meet up with him. You have to leave overnight.
The commotion of selling blind boxes today is quite loud. I’m not sure if I’ll be targeted by someone, so I’d better run away first.
Mr. Zhang came in and opened eight more boxes, but none of them were of the same style.
It is said that those glass beads must have been obtained from the Tartars, which is why they are so cheap.
When we returned to the inn, there were only a few boxes left under the two carriages.
Yu Chaosheng said that everyone could get one percent of the money from selling the glass beads, but the shop was still open for business after a while, just like selling things on the road when they were fleeing.
This bracelet is crystal clear, colorful but flawless, and obviously worthless at first glance. It is a great choice whether for collection or as a gift.
Mr. Chen held the box tightly in his hand as Mr. Zhang opened a string of eight-colored beads with the inscription "Fu Lu Shou".
The girl said that the way of selling goods like that had to be done quietly so that fewer people could hear it.
I took out a silver note of 100 taels from my purse with a serious expression on my face, and said, "Open ten more!"
Chunxi raised his chin under the gaze of the other two servants.
Hongmei picked up a wooden box and opened it. Outside was a bracelet made entirely of red beads.
"In the two carriages behind me, each box is filled with the same style of glass bracelets and glass beads. The one over there is a bracelet, only ten taels of silver." Lu Mei said, pointing to the carriage with a slightly larger box, and then pointed to the other one, "That one is a bead, seventy taels."
Zhang secretly cursed "old bastard" in his heart, but his smile changed. "I thought the blind box was very boring, so I thought I could see if there was anything bad in it."
Xue Han took the opportunity to lower his voice, "What style you buy depends entirely on my luck."
Yu Chaosheng and Xue Hanya stood aside, watching Lu Mei's posture, and couldn't help but sigh, "Lu Mei is really suitable for live broadcasting."
Pan Yingying lay under the wall and watched for a while, but finally she couldn't help herself and brought the servant out.
At first, the lady who had no status in the family also came out to choose in person.
As the stingy Pan Yingying joined the blind box camp, the gentlemen who were still on the sidelines came out of their homes one after another.
Yu Qiuer clutched her shoulder bag and kept staring at the small doors of each courtyard, praying that some ladies and masters would come out.
But Chunxi is my personal servant, there is no way he would lie to me. Anyway, I have something else to do now, so there is no harm in going to check it out.
When I opened it, I almost gasped.
Lu Yi followed and picked up a wooden box and opened it, revealing a string of dark-colored beads.
I didn't pick out a bracelet, but I bought a box of beads, planning to give it to my wife as a birthday gift.
Eight young girls stood beside the carriage, guarding the goods, and they were very nervous.
Mr. Chen hasn't gotten up yet. He is drinking tea to wake himself up while his concubine is massaging his temples.
After traveling all night, Xue Hanya found a place, set up camp and had dinner with his family. Then Yu Chaosheng took out Long Qi's big notebook.
I thought it would take too long, but I ended up being busy until the morning and even had time for lunch.
Lu Mei slapped her thigh with an exaggerated expression, "This guy has hit the nail on the head!"
Honglian smiled and said, "Please choose, sir."
Chunxi came down and bowed respectfully, then told him everything he had heard from inside.
Chunxi listened to Lumei's introduction and bowed to you, then strode back to the Lin Mansion with his head held high.
Mr. Chen looked left and right and finally figured out what was going on. Every box looked exactly the same, with no difference at all.
Long Qi, wearing a mask, took the money and wrote a note in the notebook, "One box of bracelets."
You have to give money to Xiaojia! If you give money to Xiaojia, who will sleep well?
Actually, I hadn’t bought one just now, but I got a colorful bracelet.
Fortunately, you left the city directly. In the evening, no officials went to the inn. As a result, they learned that the people had already left. The county magistrate was so angry that he broke several cups.
Mr. Chen was too credulous. What kind of glass could he buy with ten taels of silver?
Long Qi's red lips above the mask curled up heavily. "You've been outside the palace for more than ten years. You've seen countless bad people. Your taste is naturally vulgar. You know how to match beads to make them look expensive at first glance."
Chen Yuanwai turned around and handed the box he was holding tightly in his hand to Chunxi, and ordered: "Give it to Madam, and let me take out another seven, yes, eight hundred taels of silver."
Mr. Chen knew that Yuanli Li was an early riser, so he said nothing more and took out two seven-liang silver ingots from his purse, intending to buy one to try his hand.
When Xue Hanya arrived, Zhang Yuanli was standing behind the carriage, picking and choosing.
Mr. Lin nodded in agreement. He was indeed a bad candidate for live streaming.
I wanted to lose my dignity as a member of the staff, so I took one nearby.
Chunxi nodded, took the box with both hands, and hurried back to the Lin Mansion.
The emerald green beads are interspersed with a golden glass bead, which is really noble.
"Hey, Lao Zhang, what is that?" Xue Hanya asked knowingly.
Mr. Chen's forehead twitched. He heard that the grasslands in the northwest were taken over after the New Year. The male steward should be right. The situation here is indeed suitable for using silver notes for the time being.
Long Qiruo held back and raised his lips, "It's a bad idea, sir, you came from the northwest, and here we only accept silver bills, so you only accept gold, silver and copper coins."
