Finally I can go ask about the Liulizhan.
Shopkeeper Chen is taking inventory of the goods and will close the shop for a break starting tomorrow. He will not reopen until the 16th day of the first lunar month.
He had also heard a little about the theft incident at the Guangping Wang family that had been making a lot of noise these days, but what did it have to do with an ordinary citizen like him? The important thing was to clear out the goods and go home to have a comfortable New Year.
He made a lot of money this year working for his boss and lived a more comfortable life than when he worked at UBS.
Next year, we must continue to work hard and strive to make Duobao Pavilion surpass the former UBS Building and become the number one silver building in the imperial city.
When Chen Zhanggu was secretly encouraging himself, Su Nuan arrived.
He got straight to the point and asked about the colorful glass lamp that Prince Guang'an bought as soon as they met.
"Boss, you're asking about this. The colorful colored glass lamps were indeed bought from us, but they are not our products. Someone brought a set of colorful colored glass lamps to sell the other day, but I didn't buy them because I thought they were of poor quality. The man kept pestering me about the benefits of his colored glass lamps, but after seeing the boss's colored glass bracelet, I didn't think his colored glass lamps were anything special. As luck would have it, a customer came at this time, and the man took a fancy to the set of colorful colored glass lamps at first sight. The two of us hit it off and paid the money on the spot and took the goods away."
After Su Nuan finished speaking, she thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know who the person who came to sell the glass lamps is?"
"I don't know." Shopkeeper Chen answered truthfully.
"Did he tell us how he came to our shop?"
Duobao Pavilion sells women's jewelry and never sells glass products. Normally, no one would bring glass products to sell, so Su Nuan was quite puzzled as to why the glass cup seller would think of coming to Duobao Pavilion to sell his glass cup.
"He must have targeted me when I was selling that glass bracelet."
Su Nuan almost forgot about the string of glass balls.
This means that the person selling colored glass may not be targeting Duobao Pavilion intentionally. He may have opened a private kiln like Zhu Mingliang and secretly sold some colored glass products.
The seller had no questions for the time being, so Su Nuan then asked the buyer.
"You said that the person who bought the colorful colored glass cup was a guest. Was that person a familiar customer? But was he from the Guangping Palace?"
"No, that's Mr. Le from the Siyin Jiaofang."
"what?"
Su Nuan knew this guy and introduced him to the Crown Prince as his boyfriend, but it didn't work out.
Thanks to the failure.
I haven’t seen Le Xinghe for a long time. I can go see him during the New Year.
Su Nuan said a few words to Manager Chen, then got on the carriage and headed straight for Siyin Music School.
Le Xinghe never expected that the prince's concubine would come to visit him. He was surprised and astonished when he met Su Nuan.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Su Nuan got straight to the point, "Today I came to visit Mr. Le not only to reminisce about the past, but also to discuss something."
"If Concubine Xia has anything to say, please let me know."
"On the third day of the first lunar month, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to host a banquet for several princes and emperors. He needs several musicians. I would like to ask Mr. Le to help select a few with superb skills. Of course, it would be even better if Mr. Le could go there and play a song in person."
Le Xinghe did not agree immediately. He asked Su Nuan with a smile: "Are you only going to play one song this time?"
Su Nuan giggled twice. Of course not. She just wanted to find out more about the five-colored glass cup so that it wouldn't be too abrupt. After all, she was only a little familiar with Mr. Le, and their relationship was not so close that he could give her a five-colored glass cup. She still had to be careful.
"Don't worry, Mr. Le. This time it's really just a performance. The guests invited are all serious guests."
"Okay, then I will perform a song for you."
Su Nuan quickly took out a banknote and a jade hairpin, "This is a little gift from me, please accept it, sir."
The silver note is the reward, and the token of appreciation naturally refers to the hairpin.
"This is a hairpin produced by Duobao Pavilion. I heard that you often go there to choose some small things. The shopkeeper also said that you like plain styles, so I chose this one. I hope you like it."
This jade hairpin looks plain, but it is not simple. The whole hairpin is shiny and smooth without a trace of impurities. The head of the hairpin is a very small guqin. Duobao Pavilion has a series of such hairpins. The heads of the hairpins are guqin, chessboard, book, bow and abacus. Originally, they wanted to make a complete set of guqin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but there was a flaw in the performance of the painting, so they had to use a bow instead. Since it couldn't make up the guqin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Su Nuan added a few more elements. The jade hairpins that were originally sold in sets were changed to be sold individually.
Su Nuan went to Duobao Pavilion today and took back a whole set of jade hairpins, preparing to give them as New Year gifts to relatives and friends.
Le Xinghe took the jade hairpin in his hand, and when he saw clearly that the hairpin was actually a zither, his eyes lit up.
With his current financial strength, he has received many expensive gifts, but this is the first one that was so obviously thought out.
"The gift given by Concubine Xia is unique, and I like it very much."
It looked like he really liked it. Su Nuanxin said that if he liked my gift, he should answer my question properly, so she said, "Today, Shopkeeper Chen mentioned something to me. He said that a few days ago, Mr. bought a set of colored glass lamps in Duobao Pavilion. I want to see the set of colored glass lamps. I wonder if it's convenient."
After hearing this, Le Xinghe realized that Concubine Xia came for the set of colorful glass cups. The introduction of business to him and the gift she gave him were all foreshadowing.
But this kind of foreshadowing is quite thoughtful.
"Concubine Xia came at an unfortunate time. I gave the set of colored glaze cups to Prince Guang'an the same day I received them."
"Oh? Is Mr. Le familiar with Prince Guang'an?"
"To be honest with you, Concubine Xia, Prince Guang'an has been very kind to me. I know that the prince likes colored glaze, so when I saw the set of colorful colored glaze cups that day, I thought of buying them and giving them to the prince."
"Oh, I didn't expect that you have such a relationship with Prince Guang'an."
Su Nuan found the relationship a bit boring as it was an ordinary one.
After a few more polite words, Su Nuan said goodbye and left.
The five-colored glazed lamp was sold in Duobao Pavilion and then came into the hands of Prince Guang'an. This seemed to be a coincidence and there was nothing suspicious about it.
Therefore, the biggest possibility that Ye Xiaobai broke into Prince Guang'an's Mansion was because of Leng Yue. Leng Yue did not return to the Prince's Mansion last night. If the Prince had not said with certainty that Ye Xiaobai was in Prince Guang'an's hands, Su Nuan would have thought that the two had already fled far away.
Now that Ye Xiaobai has been arrested, no one knows where Leng Yue is?
The last stop today is Piaoxiang Tea House.
Su Qingmo was also taking inventory of the shop. His inventory was not easy. The tea needed to be weighed and there were many varieties in the shop. He and his assistants started working early in the morning. Su Nuan had just finished counting the goods in the shop when he arrived.
"Boss, please go sit in the backyard first. I'm going to finish counting the goods in the warehouse."
Su Qingmo said this, left Su Nuan behind and rushed towards the warehouse in a hurry.
"I brought you a gift, why don't you take a look before you go?"
According to Su Qingmo's personality, he would naturally check the gifts first if there were any. However, most of the day had passed and there were still some goods in the warehouse that had not been counted. The shop would be closed for a break tomorrow, so he had to hurry up and finish the inventory today.
"I'll leave my portion with Xiao Qi. I'll get it from him when I'm done."
After saying that, he walked quickly towards the warehouse without looking back.
Su Nuan naturally wouldn't care about such a trivial matter, and took Lie Feng to the main room in the backyard.
