Dressed as a super rare female, being chased and pampered by the big guys

There has been an almost frenetic trend in Beijing recently.

A shop was quietly opened in the east of the city. It was not big, just a two-story building, but the decoration was particularly unique and eye-catching - the window was so big that it was made of a whole piece of crystal! When the sun shone, the whole room was bright, a strange sight that no one had ever seen.

Although the store owner said that it was not crystal but glass, the common people had never heard of what glass was. They thought that anything sparkling must be a good thing. Didn’t they see all the wives and daughters of high-ranking officials swarming into the store?

The store sells a wide variety of goods, ranging from large items like screens, tables and cabinets to small items like earrings and beads, but the common feature is that they are all made of glass.

It is a good thing, and its price is no different from the gems known to ordinary people. Moreover, because it is only sold in one store, the rarity of the thing makes it valuable, and its price has risen sharply.

Large and high-end items like those sold on the second floor are only available to high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Many young men from wealthy families who think they are extremely wealthy come here with arrogance and only want to see the best. However, when they hear the prices, they become discouraged, but are too embarrassed to return empty-handed, so they have to spend a lot of money and leave in disappointment holding the smaller exquisite ornaments.

But not everything is so expensive. The small items on the first floor are very affordable. The small and exquisite pearl flowers look dazzling when worn on the head, but the price is low. Ordinary people can afford it if they grit their teeth. Buying one home can make the women in the family happy for a long time. As for the jewelry with more exquisite workmanship and design, they are all placed on the second floor. They are luxury goods that only wealthy people can afford.

With this kind of distribution and good order, people of all spending levels can come and have a look. The shopkeeper is kind and smiling, and even if you don't buy anything, you can get a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up. As a result, few people leave empty-handed. Firstly, they feel embarrassed, and secondly, the things in the store are so exquisite that anyone with a few extra dollars in their pockets will find it difficult to keep their wallets.

Ever since this small shop without even a sign opened, business on the entire east side of the city has benefited from it. The restaurant opposite, which was originally half-dead, has also been revived. It is packed with people before mealtime every day and is doing very well.

In the private room on the top floor of the restaurant, the window was half open, and a chilly wind blew in. Fortunately, the heater was lit in the room, so people didn't feel cold.

Nian Tu sat cross-legged by the window with a relaxed posture, one hand on his chin and the other stroking a cat, enjoying the grand scene of people coming and going in the glass shop with his partner.

Making a fortune every day is no empty talk.

She calculated in her mind how much food, fodder, and armor she could exchange for the small amount of money she earned. When she got excited, she couldn't help but grab the kitten lying on her lap and take a big sip.

"Meow..." The kitten's voice was very sweet. Its tail was wrapped around her arm. Every movement seemed to be carefully designed and extremely seductive.

Niannian has been obsessed with making money recently and falls asleep immediately at night due to exhaustion. He doesn't want to wake her up and feels so angry that he is burning with anger.

Now that the business is stable, shouldn't you start loving him?

The man and the cat made eye contact.

Nian Tu read the desire and expectation in the pair of azure blue animal eyes. Her little face turned red. She was a little annoyed at first, thinking that the male's mind was full of those things, but the annoyance quickly dissipated.

It would be wrong not to think about those things when you are a teenager and full of vigor.

Her partners were not lecherous and lustful people. They had feelings for her and therefore had desires for her. If not, with their current status and position, what kind of woman could they not get? But they only spent all their energy on her, waiting pitifully for her to show mercy.

She was so concerned about the gray wolf in the distance that she neglected Kong Lin beside her.

Nian Tu reflected deeply on herself, lowered her head and kissed the kitten's head, and felt four furry paws start to lift her dress, and immediately grabbed them with a red face, "This is outside!"

Even if you want to do something, you have to wait until you return to the palace.

The windows were still open, and there were guards at the door. There might be secret guards hiding in nearby corners. The soundproofing of the restaurant was not very good, and I could clearly hear the sound of the people next door drinking and playing drinking games...

Nian Tu subconsciously pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

There were a few crisp clinking sounds and the sound of liquid flowing, as if someone had knocked over a cup while drunk.

"Sixth Master, be careful—"

"Ouch! Are you okay?"

"It's okay! It's a pity to waste this excellent wine glass!"

"Tsk, what's so strange about that?" The drunk man, from the sound of his voice, was a young man, who obviously had the highest status among the group. He was very dismissive of his friend's concern and caring. "It's just a white jade cup, is it worth your concern?"

"I recently got a set of glasses. I'll show them to you someday. That's what I call..."

Before he finished speaking, compliments came one after another.

"glass?!"

"Hiss—that's a rare thing!"

"We are just waiting for Master Liu to open our eyes!!"

The Sixth Master was flattered to the point of being in high spirits. He burped and said, "Do you know where glass comes from?"

Regardless of whether they knew it or not, the people below pondered his tone and shook their heads in unison to indicate that they didn't know.

Since they were so ignorant, Sixth Master had the opportunity to show off, and he said excitedly, "I heard that the owner of the glass shop was originally an ordinary merchant in the north. His ancestors had been doing business in the northern Rong, reselling and doing some cheap jewelry and jade business. Until one day, an old man in the family got the guidance of the mountain god in his dream, and he actually had the ability to turn sand into treasure. The mountain god named it glass..."

Nian Tu started laughing as he listened.

This Sixth Master gave people the impression of being a playboy, but he summarized and retold the story she made up very well, in a concise manner without losing the main point.

"…Last year, the old man passed away, leaving only a batch of glass he made to his descendants, but his magical skills were not passed on. This family is timid and afraid of being coveted by others, so they dare not show it to others easily. It was not until they got in touch with an imperial merchant and donated most of the glass to the palace that they finally felt at ease."

When a poor person suddenly becomes rich, he cannot bear this precious thing. Instead, it is like holding a hot potato. If he is not careful, he will be swallowed up by the powerful people without leaving any trace.

But after catching the emperor's eye, the situation was very different. Who dared to be presumptuous at the foot of the imperial city?

A few days ago, the emperor rewarded Nian, who had made a great contribution by presenting treasures, with a top-quality glass ornament of a plain-crowned lotus tripod. Nian also held a flower-viewing party and invited the noble ladies of Beijing to enjoy the flowers together. Since then, so many nobles have been asking for information openly or secretly that the merchant simply bought a shop and sold the remaining glass objects in his hands, saying that there were not many in stock and they would be sold out while they were all gone.

Once people heard that the quantity of treasures was limited, no one could resist the hunger marketing tactics. Anyone with some capital wanted to buy some quickly before the items were sold out. As a result, even though these were obviously expensive luxury items, the wealthy people scrambled for them as if they were free.

Listening to the loud conversation next door, Nian Tu shook his head and sipped the tea in the cup, not feeling guilty at all.

Which of these wealthy and powerful families had clean money? It was understandable that she collected some money from them to donate to the military.

As for whether or not to make the true method of glass making public in the future, that has nothing to do with her anymore. It will take at least two generations before she can consider it again.

Although the story she made up about turning sand into treasure was nonsense, it was not completely a lie.

She was happily petting the cat when the topic next to her suddenly veered off and came to her head——

"Speaking of rare things, glass is indeed rare, but it is just a decoration after all, and is not as practical as the telescope presented by Nian. I heard that thing is like the legendary clairvoyance, very magical."

"Is this true? You're not lying, right?"

"None of us have seen it with our own eyes. Have you, Sixth Master?"

The Sixth Master had never seen one before. Facing the shining eyes of his followers, he looked a little embarrassed, but he quickly straightened his back and said, "My father played with a telescope at a court meeting. He said it was really amazing! It can enhance eyesight a hundred times!"

He dared to brag, and Nian Tu didn't dare to listen. The hand-made telescopes in ancient times were good enough to be usable, how could they have a hundred times magnification? ?

The others didn't understand so much, they only followed the Sixth Master's lead, believed whatever he said, and exclaimed in amazement.

“I really want to see it with my own eyes!”

"That Nian actually has such a talent. If she were a man, I would definitely make friends with her!"

"As expected of the wife of General Fuyuan, a woman is as good as any man!"

"Tsk," Sixth Master suddenly laughed out loud, "Do you really believe that the telescope was her credit?"

These guys are so stupid that few ministers in the court believe them.

How could a woman who was born in a humble family, was not valued, never left her house, and had never read a few books have the ability and skills to make a telescope? ?

"You may not know," he said with a smile that was a little more ambiguous and vulgar, and chuckled a few times, "As soon as General Zong went to the battlefield, His Majesty couldn't wait to bring Nian into the palace to take care of her. In fact, the two of them had been involved before, and His Majesty would take her with him when he went to the Puzhao Temple to offer sacrifices during the New Year..."

No matter how good brothers are, they should be careful to avoid suspicion when taking care of each other's female relatives. It is obvious that there is something fishy between Your Majesty and the general's wife.

"Your Majesty, you are giving her credit for the telescope. I'm afraid you are flattering her! Hahaha!" As he spoke, Master Liu laughed out loud until he suddenly heard the angry roar of a beast. He shuddered all over, "... Ouch! What's going on?"

Why does it sound like a tiger roaring? ?

The companions also heard it and looked at each other in dismay, with fear and panic on everyone's face.

But when I calmed down and listened carefully, there was no sound at all, as if it was just a brief hallucination.

"Ha... where did a tiger come from in such a small restaurant? He must be a ventriloquist hired by the restaurant." Master Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead and pretended to be calm.

Although I have never heard of a ventriloquist who can imitate the roar of a wild animal so well, it is even more impossible that a real tiger is nearby! No way!
