The boss said so much, but Gu Qingyuan didn't remember much. She asked the boss, "Boss, which kind of jade is more popular?"

The boss took out a piece of green jade and put it in his hand for Gu Qingyuan to see.

"If you're giving it as a gift, I recommend Bing Cui. Look at the color, it's so clear and transparent."

Gu Qingyuan took a closer look and thought it was indeed good.

But she still wanted to take another look. After all, one should compare prices from different stores before buying something, and she didn't want to be easily fooled by the boss.

Gu Qingyuan shook his head and said, "Boss, I want to see it myself."

The boss continued to deceive, "Sir, do you really not want this ice jade? I brought it out today because I felt it was meant for you. Our ice jade sells very well and is often in short supply."

"is it?"

Gu Qingyuan turned around suspiciously again, took the Bing Cui from the boss's hand and took a look at it.

The name Bingcui sounds nice, but it is different from the jade she has in mind.

Moreover, the texture of this icy jade does not feel like jade.

The boss struck while the iron was hot and said, "Yes, I have an old customer who always asks for this ice jade every time he comes. If you really want it, I'll do you a favor today. When the old customer comes, I'll tell him that this ice jade is out of stock recently, and I only want it at this price."

The boss held up three fingers.

If it’s thirty taels, it’s indeed okay.

"Thirty taels of silver?"

Gu Qingyuan was mentally prepared for thirty taels.

But the boss shook his head and said:

"No, three hundred taels."

Gu Qingyuan’s eyes widened. She must have heard it wrong, three hundred taels?

You have to know that in this world, a few taels of silver are enough for a year's expenses, but this boss actually asked for three hundred taels.

The boss said, "I originally wanted four hundred taels, but since I like you, I'm selling it to you at a loss. If you don't buy it now, my old customer will probably come to buy it in a couple of days."

The clerk next to him also agreed: "Yes, this ice jade is very precious. Our boss won't sell it to ordinary people."

Because this thing is not valuable at all. Anyone who knows a little about it will definitely not want it. Only someone like Gu Qingyuan who doesn't know anything about jade would be fooled by their boss.

Gu Qingyuan thought about it and felt that since it was a gift for someone, it must be something precious, so she reluctantly spent the pocket money General Gu gave her.

"Here, here are three hundred taels of silver. I want the ice jade in your hand."

The boss and his employees were filled with ecstasy. They didn't expect that this worthless jade could be sold.

And she didn't even bargain for the price. She is really stupid and has a lot of money.

The boss wrapped the Bingcui for Gu Qingyuan, and the smile on his face was so bright.

"Sir, please take care."

The boss and the waiter personally escorted Gu Qingyuan to the door and watched her leave.

After Gu Qingyuan left the jade shop, he walked around the street again.

When passing by the Qi family grain store, he took a look and then returned home.

Speaking of which, there are only ten days left until next month, which means she will marry Qi Ziyao in ten days.

After returning to her own courtyard, Chunfen saw her and walked over.

"Young Master, Yu Shui, who was beside Master Wen, just now, brought a box over and said it was a gift from Master Wen."

"Oh?"

Gu Qingyuan never expected that she would receive a gift from Wen Shubai, and walked towards the house.

She saw the wooden box on the table at a glance, put the box in her hand on the table, and opened the box that Wen Shubai gave her and took a look.

A bright white light emanated from the box, and Gu Qingyuan and Chunfen couldn't help but exclaim "Wow".

Gu Qingyuan took out the piece of mutton-fat jade from the box and touched it in her hand. The mutton-fat jade was softer in texture and felt very heavy in her hand.

After reading it, he put it back into the box. Why did Wen Shubai suddenly think of giving himself a gift?

Gu Qingyuan was a little confused, and suddenly she remembered that she had asked him about Master Shen's preferences, so he sent this piece of mutton-fat jade to her.

She looked around her room and it seemed like there was nothing she could do in return.

After seeing the mutton-fat jade, Chunfen suddenly remembered something.

She pointed to the box containing the mutton-fat jade on the table and said, "Young Master, this mutton-fat jade seems to be a tribute."

Gu Qingyuan: "Ah?"

Chunfen explained, "This mutton-fat jade seems to have been a tribute from other countries to our Daning State. There are only three pieces. I heard that one is in the hands of His Majesty, one is in the hands of Her Royal Highness, and this other piece..."

Before she finished speaking, Gu Qingyuan understood. Wasn't the third piece in Wen Shubai's hand?

He actually gave her such a precious thing as a gift. Gu Qingyuan suddenly said with a serious expression: "Go and return this piece of mutton-fat jade."

"But this is a gift from Master Wen. It might not be a good idea to return it, right?"

Gu Qingyuan opened the box of the icy jade she had bought and said, "Just tell him that I have already bought the jade and ask him to keep his things. I don't want His Majesty to ask me why I gave away her son's things."

Seeing that she didn't want to be refused, Chunfen picked up the box and went to Wen Shubai.

Wen Shubai was still imagining Gu Qingyuan's happy look when she received the mutton-fat jade he had given her, when he heard the news that Chunfen, Gu Qingyuan's maid, had returned the box.

Yu Shui asked, "Young Master, why don't you accept it?"

Wen Shubai pricked up his ears and listened, this was what he wanted to know.

Chunfen replied: "Our young master said it was too expensive, and she also went out to buy jade today."

The rain evaded, "But how can we take back what we have given away?"

Chunfen was also in a dilemma: "Young Master said that I must return the mutton-fat jade. Yushui, you should accept it and give it to your master."

Yu Shui had no choice but to accept it and brought it to Wen Shubai.

"Master, the young master has returned it."

Wen Shubai also heard what had just happened and looked at the box on the table quietly.

Suddenly, he stood up and walked out holding the box.

Before Yu Shui could figure out what was happening, they saw their master walking to the door.

In Gu Qingyuan's room, she was admiring the piece of ice jade. Although it didn't feel like jade, you have to say, it was quite beautiful.

Hearing footsteps, Gu Qingyuan looked up and saw Wen Shubai walking towards her. She waved her hand and asked him to come over to appreciate the icy jade together.

Wen Shubai placed the box containing the mutton-fat jade on the table again, "Young Master, please accept it."

"No, I can't accept it."

Gu Qingyuan shook her head frantically and pushed towards him.

"Don't worry, since the Queen Mother gave it to me, I will do with it."

But Gu Qingyuan was still worried. She said, "It's okay. Look, I bought Bing Cui for Master Shen. Look, isn't it beautiful too?"

I thought Wen Shubai would praise it, but he frowned when he saw the item called Bingcui on the table.

"You said it's called Bing Cui?"
