Capítulo 767: Chapter 748: Sister, Sister over and over
If Ouyang Qian could get pregnant with his child, Lin Yi really hoped it was a girl, one as clever and adorable as Ouyang Qian.
“Hmph, not at all. If I do get pregnant, how will you settle in?”
Ouyang Qian suddenly beca very curious about this.
Lin Yi laughed and confidently pointed to the nearby Joyful Jade Pavilion, saying, “Don’t forget, your prince consort is no ordinary man. Whatever I want to achieve, there’s nothing I can’t accomplish.”
Indeed, Ouyang Qian had no doubts about that.
Lin Yi had already done many unbelievable things in Nan Zhao Country, whether it was flying in the sky, swimming in the rivers, or running on the ground, none failed to shock the world.
“Hey, are you a descended immortal? Can you solve any difficulty?” Ouyang Qian gazed at Lin Yi with infatuated eyes.
He knew this girl was letting her imagination take flight again.
Lin Yi smiled, “Curiosity killed the cat; you just need to stay by my side and be good.”
No sooner had his voice dropped, a young woman clad in a form-fitting, high-slit cheongsam, outlining curves that n could hardly resist, slowly approached Lin Yi.
The woman had makeup that would be popular in later tis, with big eyes and long eyelashes that one could never forget after just one glance.
“Great General Lin!”
Her voice was sweet and gentle, her call to Lin Yi was tantalizingly subtle.
Female intuition told Ouyang Qian that this woman definitely had ulterior motives for Lin Yi.
Seeing the woman extend her delicate hand to pass a silver note of 3000 taels to Lin Yi, Ouyang Qian understood right away.
This charming young woman was Spirit Jade, who Lin Yi had just directed to deliver the money.
After Lin Yi received the silver note, he deliberately turned his gaze away, fully aware of Spirit Jade’s glances filled with covert affection toward him.
It must be said, Spirit Jade’s figure was incredibly striking, with her graceful curves, light footwork, and a face full of collagen; she was irresistible to every man.
But this was on a public street, after all. Such overt flirtation—if he couldn’t maintain control and let sothing slip—his false eunuch identity would be exposed.
Lin Yi intentionally stood behind Ouyang Qian, using her to shield himself, then feigned calmness as he said.
“Cough cough, how have the jade sales been these past few days?”
Spirit Jade, seeing Lin Yi looking down at the silver note and not directly at her, was quite displeased. She took a step to move past Ouyang Qian, making a point to co directly in front of Lin Yi.
She could barely hide her little desire to show off her great figure in front of Lin Yi.
Little did she know, this small action of Spirit Jade’s not only made Lin Yi even more embarrassed but unexpectedly, the rich rchants from the Jade Pavilion who followed her out also shifted their positions.
Unacquainted with subtlety but understanding all too well, they were there to behold Spirit Jade’s enchanting figure.
n drooled with longing while won envied Spirit Jade with a mix of jealousy and hatred.
“Coming out dressed like this, it’s downright scandalous!” spoke a wealthy rchant’s wife with a face full of horizontal creases, gripping her husband’s arm tightly, resentful enough to grind her teeth at Spirit Jade.
And another woman, adorned with triple layers of fat, sneered, “Exactly, dressed so scantily, those unaware might think she’s co from a brothel indeed! Shaless.”
“Really, her face is that of a seductress. Sisters, make sure to keep an eye on your masters, don’t let these temptresses drain them dry.”
…
At this mont, the won’s jealousy unfolded in all its splendor.
Lin Yi watched Spirit Jade, who remained unperturbed, wondering how she would handle the situation and whether she truly learned any sales tactics.
Clearly, she had already passed the first test.
Facing custors’ dissatisfaction, complaints, and grievances, maintaining composure and confronting the situation calmly and evenly.
Sure enough, Spirit Jade turned around gracefully to face the sisters who had just spoken, smiling and said,
“Sisters, this dress is called a cheongsam, and I haven’t exposed anything that should not be shown, as well as wrapped everything that should be wrapped, tightly and fully.”
“There seems to be no law in Da You that stipulates I cannot dress this way.”
“Sisters, I am but a mirror reflecting your younger selves, can you truly not accept who you were during your youth?”
Indeed, their younger selves.
The won who were clamoring just monts ago suddenly fell silent. Indeed, they too had been young once; it’s just that ti waits for no one.
Seeing that the sisters’ moods had brightened, Spirit Jade seized the opportunity and said,
“It’s said that fine jade nourishes one’s being. I see each one of you sisters endowed with great fortune, well-fed, well-rested, without worries. Such blessings are not sothing us young girls could hope to enjoy.”
“How about this? Sisters, why don’t you all co into our Prosperous Jade Pavilion for a look? Our new store is opening, and any sister that enters our shop will receive a beautiful jade pendant for free!”
Instantly, the won cheered and jumped for joy.
If n were imrsed in the endless calls of esteem, the won, at this mont, were ensnared by Spirit Jade’s affectionate calls of “sister,” unable to extricate themselves.
They looked at the radiant Spirit Jade as if they saw their younger selves, feeling suddenly much more comfortable in their hearts.
Beside them, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction, not expecting Spirit Jade to be so adept at improvisation. Truly, she was worthy of being the store manager he had chosen at a glance.
‘Heh heh, who would have thought Spirit Jade had such skills, not only able to sell jade to the great masters but also not letting these wealthy ladies go.’
Ouyang Qian noticed the slight curve of Lin Yi’s lips and knew he couldn’t hide his cunning intentions.
‘Hmph, you shall not seduce my Prince Consort under the bright light of day!’
“Miss Spirit Jade, why didn’t you invite us in?”
Clearly, Ouyang Qian’s tone revealed an unmistakable challenge, and Lin Yi sensed that the atmosphere was sowhat off.
Spirit Jade smiled and responded to Ouyang Qian, “If I’m not mistaken, you are Inspector Ouyang, a close associate of the Great General Lin Yi.”
“This Jade Pavilion belongs to the court; you don’t need an invitation to visit our jade shop, you are welco anyti.”
Unable to resist, Ouyang Qian gave Spirit Jade an irritated glance and entered the Jade Pavilion with Lin Yi.
Never underestimate this jade store, constructed with synthetic panels, inside are sturdy, load-bearing steel columns that cleverly save space.
Making the entire Jade Pavilion appear even more spacious and bright.
Ouyang Qian, having seen jade in Nan Zhao Country for nearly twenty years, had long lost interest in jade. She wandered back and forth through the entire Jade Pavilion.
Her purpose was to inspect the building materials of the house.
While Lin Yi appeared very composed, he silently moved to a vacant spot on the second floor, pulled over a chair, and quietly observed the sales situation inside the Jade Pavilion.
Today was the second day since the Jade Pavilion’s opening, and those masters’ fascination with jade was undiminished.
Ahem, to be precise, it was the fascination with the young ladies in the Jade Pavilion that was undiminished. Looking at the ledger before him, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction.
By today, including yesterday, there had been an inco of 300,000 taels.
‘Goodness, it seems Gan County is indeed not short of wealthy people. Such outstanding sales from just jade alone.’
Seeing this, Lin Yi finally understood why Sun Pingkai had the courage to reject joining forces with Guo Huaimu in corruption.
The wealth in the hands of the people of Gan County was Sun Pingkai’s greatest confidence.
