Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 186 Your money is mine!

Mu Yejun followed the woman in white out of Heyin Tower and originally wanted to kill her directly, but then he thought, follow her first to see if he could lead out the person behind the scenes.

In the Heyin Building, with Concubine Wu and the other ladies in doubt and the young masters rubbing their hands in anticipation, Cuiling walked to the women standing side by side in the middle of the hall. It was her first time speaking in front of the nobles, especially the empress in the palace, and she was a little timid.

Seeing all the nobles, including the queen in the palace, looking at her, she could not help but turn her head nervously, and her eyes met with Shen Shenshen. Shen Shenshen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and nodded gently, expressing encouragement and support.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself, turned around to face everyone again, knelt down and bowed deeply to Concubine Wu. After Concubine Wu asked her to stand up, she bowed to everyone else and spoke crisply after completing the etiquette.

"Today is the auspicious day for the grand opening of Heyinlou. The jewelry displayed by the women behind me are all specially customized by Heyinlou for this grand opening. The jewels and styles used in each piece of jewelry will no longer be found in Heyinlou. Even if other shops make them in the future, they will be imitations."

After hearing the news, the ladies and young ladies present began to whisper to each other. They showed surprise and confusion on their faces, as if they found this statement unbelievable. After all, a piece of exquisite jewelry is often designed in many different styles to meet the preferences of different ladies and ladies. However, the Heyinlou, which sells jewelry now, said that the jewelry only has one style, which has never happened in Dongxiang! Everyone couldn't help but feel curious and eager to know more details about this unique jewelry.

For a moment, the whole scene became extremely lively, with all kinds of speculation and discussion. Everyone began to imagine how much silver this unique style would cost, and at the same time they were full of expectations for what the maid would say next.

"Since the style of this jewelry is so unique and distinctive, the gemstones or pearls inlaid in it must be extraordinary. In this way, the price of a single piece of jewelry is naturally very high! However..." Cui Ling suddenly changed the subject and said: "The reason why we only invite the wives and daughters of officials who have been conferred titles and are above the first rank in the court to come to the banquet today is actually very simple - only you here have the qualifications and financial resources to buy the precious jewelry displayed by the women behind me! And the jewelry that will be exhibited and sold tomorrow will not include any of the jewelry today."

The ladies and young ladies were even more excited when they heard this. They knew very well that this praise was not only an affirmation of their husbands' lofty status in the court, but also a supreme honor.

"Expensive? So what!"

A lady said proudly, with a confident light in her eyes: "The so-called 'noble' is the symbol of our mansion's status in Dongxiang Capital! It represents the dignity, power and prestige of our mansion!"

Another young lady echoed, "Mrs. Zhang is right. This precious treasure is the result of our family's hard work in Dongxiang over the years. Only with sufficient strength can we win such a special reputation. And today is the best proof of our identity!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, their faces filled with pride.

Seeing that the time was almost right and Shen Shenshen had achieved her goal, she winked at Cui Ling. This scene happened to fall into Zhu Yanxiao's eyes, and he felt like he saw a little fox with a cunning light in his eyes again.

Cui Ling understood and immediately bowed: "Please choose first among all the jewelry available at Heyinlou today, Your Majesty." Before she finished her words, the women who were displaying the jewelry all knelt in front of Concubine Wu so that the seated Her Majesty could see the jewelry more clearly.

Concubine Wu was both surprised and delighted. She was not the most favored one in the palace. She had to look at the Queen's face and the Royal Concubine's face every day, and she had to flatter and curry favor with the other three concubines. But today, she was enjoying the honor in front of all the wives, daughters and gentlemen of the first-rank officials. She was the most respected in everything, which greatly satisfied her vanity.

The virtuous concubine did not play along. She looked at a few golden hairpins carefully and felt that the designs were novel and very different from the jewelry in the palace. Suddenly, she remembered that a few decades ago, Wei Dianyi in the palace made several sets of palace costumes with novel styles that had never been seen before, which attracted the concubines in other palaces to make clothes for them. Even the beautiful queen could not help but customize two sets. She remembered that Wei Dianyi came up with this brilliant idea after making clothes for the second Miss Shen in the Marquis's Mansion.

Concubine Wu turned her head and whispered something to the senior palace maid behind her, and the palace maid hurriedly called Shen Shenshen who was standing nearby.

After seeing her coming and paying respects, Concubine Wu pointed at the jewelry and asked, "Have you incorporated your creative ideas into these jewelry?"

Shen Shen was surprised and asked, "How did the queen know that?"

"It seems that my guess was correct." Concubine Wu smiled and said, "Wei Dianyi once made special palace costumes that were not seen in the palace. Today, I saw a style of jewelry that was not seen in the palace. I think it must be the second Miss Shen's brilliant idea."

"Your Majesty, I am too proud to praise you. I just added a few personal opinions. I don't deserve your praise."

Concubine Wu pointed at one of the golden hairpins and said, "I like all of these jewels, but if I take them all, the ladies will probably get angry with me, so I'll take this one."

The gold hairpin that Concubine Wu pointed out was made with the dual techniques of filigree and inlay. The hairpin imitated the shape of the peony flower, and the flower shape was made of gold sheets. A huge natural seawater pearl was inlaid in the stamen to make it more gorgeous. Small gold leaves were hung around the flower, and each gold leaf was embellished with a small white pearl, which complemented the large pearl. A string of tassels was hung at the bottom of the gold hairpin. The tassels were made of fine silver wires, and the silver wires were studded with even smaller pearls. It was luxurious and complicated, and swayed when walking.

"Reward." Concubine Wu didn't say much and immediately gave the order.

The senior palace maid behind him immediately took out a silver ingot and gave it to Shen Shen. Shen Shen did not hesitate to take it and weighed it. It was about ten taels. He immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty."

Concubine Wu felt at ease when she saw her money-loving appearance, and she thought she was the best person to seek wealth.

Zhu Yanxiao looked at Shen Shenshen's changing expressions and knew that the silver was not cheap, so he felt amused.

Zhou Yiran thought thoughtfully: So... Shenshen likes silver the most?

Then Shen Shen turned to the other ladies and said loudly: "Ladies and ladies, please wait a moment. You will definitely choose the jewelry you like today."

Looking at the woman standing there with outstanding grace and gracefulness, she was definitely the hostess of Heyinlou. The man sitting not far behind her looked at her with eyes full of love. Zhou Yunxi lowered her head with a thick hat on, not wanting to look at her again. She had the chance to stand in her position, and the person in the moonlight and breeze belonged to her. But now, everything can't go back.

While she was daydreaming, a lady in gorgeous clothes smiled and said, "It is indeed the work of Prince Zhong's Mansion. The seemingly small Heyin Building actually has such a rare treasure. This lady is really enlightened."

Seeing this, Concubine Wu was also very happy. This trip out of the palace was really worthwhile. Not only did she gain a unique golden hairpin, but she also saw the intelligence and talent of Miss Shen Er. Of course, her appearance was not inferior to that of the Queen.

After watching the entire grand opening ceremony, the water clock showed that it was almost noon. The time was delayed longer than she expected, so Concubine Wu stood up and was about to return to the palace. Seeing that the queen was leaving, everyone knelt down again.

"Farewell, Her Majesty." The voices were in unison and loud.

"I am very happy today. Ziyuan, your opening banquet is very interesting. I must have a good talk with His Majesty when I return to the palace. Everyone, get up." After speaking, he swept his eyes around and said majestically, "Return to the palace."

A eunuch with a shrill voice behind him shouted, "Your Majesty, return to the palace."

The group walked out of the glazed gate, and Concubine Wu was helped by the head palace maid into the palace carriage, which drove towards the defense line of the imperial palace.

After the queen left, everyone stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. The ladies and young ladies could no longer wait and started to pick out the only piece of jewelry in the whole east today.

Shen Shenshen looked at the ladies whose desire to buy was unprecedentedly high with curved eyebrows, and said happily in his heart: Hahahaha, buy it. Your money all belongs to me, Shen Shenshen.
