Chapter 163 I have the only one of my kind now
Except for the princess and Chen, everyone else in the backyard had arrived, and Qiao Rongjin greeted them with a smile.
"I, your servant, greet the Concubine."
"No need to be so formal. We are all sisters. Your presence here today really brings honor to Yunshen Pavilion. I wonder why you sisters are here?" Qiao Rongjin asked knowingly, her beautiful eyes scanning everyone in confusion.
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at each other, with the same meaning in their eyes.
Yan was the first to speak with a smile, "Sister Qiao, we heard that you bought a lot of good things from Juzhen Pavilion. So, we are very curious. I wonder if you can show us a feast for the eyes?"
When the others heard what Yan said, they also looked at Qiao Rongjin.
The servants said that the mirror was as tall as they were. Although they sent people to buy mirrors that day, they were all very small ones. They really liked the big mirror described by the servants.
Feeling such expectant gazes, Qiao Rongjin smiled and said, "We are all sisters, of course you can, sisters, come with me to take a look."
"Okay, thank you sister."
"That's all I have. I haven't had time to put them away yet. They're a bit messy. Sisters, please don't be disgusted. Feel free to take a look. Just be careful. These things can easily scratch people."
Everyone's eyes were filled with amazement at the moment, and they had no time to listen to Qiao Rongjin. They stood in front of the full-length mirror and admired themselves, with the admiration in their eyes becoming more and more intense.
"This thing is great! It would be much more convenient to have this mirror when matching clothes."
"Oh no! I seem to have eaten a lot these days. Why do I look fatter than before? No, no, I need to lose some weight to look better."
……
The whole place was filled with women talking to themselves, and the maids in the back were secretly looking at themselves in the mirror, with joy in their eyes.
Qiao Rongjin was satisfied watching this scene, but she didn't say anything. She just sat on a seat beside her, drinking fruit wine or occasionally eating some fruit. She was waiting for a few people to speak first.
Sure enough, someone finally couldn't hold back and came over, and Qiao Rongjin looked up.
Oh, it’s Qin!
"Sister Qiao, do you want to buy this mirror? I want to buy one." Qin was a straightforward person. She liked this thing and wanted it, so she came over and asked directly.
Qiao Rongjin was still not used to hearing the word "sister", but after all, her status was higher than Qin's. People in the mansion addressed each other according to their status, so until now, she was still not used to it. However, this discomfort was immediately forgotten when she heard that Qin wanted to buy a mirror.
Qiao Rongjin smiled and said, "Of course I can sell some, but you know the price is a bit high. It's not easy for me to get these."
"Sister, just tell me how much money you want." She is not short of money.
"Seven hundred taels each." Qiao Rongjin curled the corners of his lips slightly and uttered these words softly.
Upon hearing this, a hissing sound was heard at the scene.
Just now when Qin walked over, the people looking in the mirror focused their attention on that place, paying close attention to the conversation between the two people. When they suddenly heard such a price, they couldn't help but speak out.
Yan even shouted without any image, "You are stealing the silver!"
"This is too expensive!"
"Seven hundred taels can buy so many things!"
Exclamations came one after another, but Qiao Rongjin didn't care at all. He even glanced at everyone with a smile and took another sip of fruit wine to moisten his throat first, as he would have something to talk about later.
Qin seemed to be shocked by the price and didn't speak for a while.
Qinglian was watching from the side, wanting to say something but stopping herself from speaking. Was the price the master quoted too high? Could these people afford it?
Qiao Rongjin put down the fruit wine, looked at Yan who said she was robbing money, and said slowly, "Sister Yan, you are wrong. Everyone must know that glass is expensive. Just a small piece of mirror costs one or two taels of silver, and it is the most ordinary kind of workmanship. Look at my special customized one, it is as tall as a person, and the frames are also carefully carved by craftsmen, so the value is naturally much higher. I am the one who gave the idea and the money, you can't let me lose all my money, this business doesn't work like that, don't you think it makes sense?"
Hearing this, everyone was speechless for a moment. What Qiao Rongjin said did make some sense. This thing was much bigger than that small mirror, so it was normal for it to be valuable, but this was too high!
"But you definitely didn't get 700 taels of silver when you went to Juzhen Pavilion to buy these. Why are you selling them to us for such a high price?"
"Yes, Sister Qiao, we are all sisters and from the same mansion, why are you selling it to us at such a high price?"
"That's right, Sister Qiao, can you please make it cheaper? This is really too expensive."
"If you ask me, we are all sisters. Sister Qiao is such a generous person, it's not too much for her to give a mirror to the younger sisters." An said as a matter of course.
Hearing this, the rest of the people also looked at An who spoke so shamelessly. An felt a little angry and embarrassed. What did these people mean? They just wanted them to get a mirror for free!
Qiao Rongjin glanced coldly at An who said she would give him a mirror as a gift and ignored her.
But he still pretended to be helpless and said, "I bought this thing for 600 taels each, and I didn't make much money. Besides, you can't buy it at my price in Juzhen Pavilion. Besides, even if I have it, can you get it? This thing of mine is unique now. If I have to wait until it is made and sold out, I will have to wait.
However, if you can’t afford them, forget it. I was planning to give them to my mother’s family. My mother’s family is big and they don’t have any. Oh, now that I think about it, these mirrors are not enough. Forget it, forget it. I won’t sell them. Why don’t you go find the owner of Juzhen Pavilion and buy them for yourself?”
Qiao Rongjin looked serious and sincere, and it was obvious that he didn't want to sell it anymore.
Hearing this, the people who were talking just now became anxious.
Why is this not for sale anymore?!
Also, what do you mean they can’t afford a mirror! ?
"Oh, Sister Qiao, isn't it just 700 taels of silver each? The last thing I lack is silver. Give me two pieces, oh no, three pieces."
Qin immediately spoke up. She knew that this thing was not in the Juzhen Pavilion, and just as Concubine Qiao said, even if she had it, she might not be able to buy it. As for customizing it? There were too many people who had customized things these days. If she wanted to customize it now, it would take a long time for her to get it. She might as well spend more money and use it earlier. Anyway, she didn't lack this little money.
Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin felt satisfied, and her eyes softened when she looked at Qin. Qin was a straightforward person, and she liked doing business with straightforward people.
