Princess Changle looked in the direction in which Qin Huaiyu and the other two had left. She could not help but snort coldly and say, "Merton is proficient in exotic techniques. The exotic dance is just ahead, but Merton is not tempted."
Meton was immediately embarrassed. He was the person who understood western knowledge the most, but he did not understand western dance.
Meton's expression turned serious as he said, "It's just exotic dance. How can I, Brother Mo Jiazi, be tempted by it?"
Princess Changle pursed her lips and said, "Don't all men like these coquettish and flirtatious women?"
Princess Changle looked around with disdain. One after another, men were madly rushing towards the encampment of the Hu of the Western Regions.
She had heard that even her Imperial Grandfather, who lived in the palace, liked the western region's dance very much. He often kept a group of western region's dancers in his palace.
Meton wisely did not argue on this issue. He took a few steps forward. Just as he was about to walk to Princess Changle's side, many unfriendly gazes immediately stared at him.
Only when Princess Changle raised her arm slightly did the surrounding people disappear. They were no different from the surrounding citizens, happily looking at the lantern market.
Meton suddenly understood. Princess Changle had to be careful when she came out to parade. Otherwise, she might not even be able to walk out of the palace.
Meton took a step to the side and opened up a suitable distance. He pretended not to notice and said with a smile, "Brother Li Zhi hasn't gone yet, right? If Brother Li Zhi has such a hobby, I am naturally willing to risk my life to accompany you. "
Meton had just finished speaking when he suddenly felt a sharp gaze staring at him. Meton turned his head and saw a sturdy middle-aged woman staring at him unkindly.
Meton grinned at her. The middle-aged woman's expression turned even uglier.
Princess Changle immediately blushed and said, "Who has such a hobby? I'm not going to see those exotic dancers."
Meton laughed and said, "I see. Brother Li Zhi and I are like-minded. We are both gentlemen."
"Shameless!"
Princess Changle rolled her eyes. She had never seen anyone praise her in such a way.
"Brother Li Zhi has been lingering in front of the Golden Jade Pavilion. Is it because he wants to buy some jewelry for his confidante?" Meton avoided the topic and pointed to the jewelry store behind. This building was called Golden Jade Building, and it was the property of Xie Qianchou's partner, the Qian family.
It just so happened that the alchemy business that Meton helped Chang Shengzi was a cooperation with Golden Jade Tower.
Jin Yulou was rich and overbearing. Unexpectedly, they came up with an ingenious idea. The branches were hung with lanterns, and the branches were all wrapped with red silk. The branches were wrapped with silver flowers like a fire tree, recreating the spectacular scene of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Princess Changle suddenly felt guilty and said in a rough voice, "How could that be? I'm just admiring the beautiful scenery of the fireworks. "
Meton knew that for a woman, the charm of jewelry was always the most irresistible. However, Princess Changle was dressed as a man today, so it was inconvenient for her to go in.
After waiting for the Fiery Tree Silver Flower to attract more and more people, the sound of a gong was heard. The shopkeeper of Jin Yu Lou strode onto the stage that had already been set up and said loudly, "Gold is not pure, and no one is perfect. This is an ancient wisdom. However, from today onwards, this saying will be rewritten, because our shop has specially invited the Taoist External Elixir Sect to refine a batch of 100% pure gold for our shop."
"100% gold?" The crowd was suddenly in an uproar.
Usually, people would not dare to believe it. However, the Tang dynasty worshipped Taoism and naturally knew the Taoist External Alchemy Sect in detail. Naturally, they knew that the secret art of alchemy was the unique skill of the Taoist External Alchemy Sect. Although the Taoist External Alchemy Sect recently exposed their dirty linen and exposed the lie of their elixir, their reputation rose with the popularity of the secret art of hair dyeing.
"100% gold!"
Meton naturally knew what 100% gold was. It was probably the purified gold that Meton talked about. Although it was inferior to the thousand-foot gold and ten-thousand-foot gold of later generations, in the craftsmanship of this era, the secret art of alchemy of the Taoist School was indeed the limit of craftsmanship. It was not an exaggeration to call it 100% gold.
However, he did not expect that Patriarch Qian would be so anxious to refine the gold in the shortest time and prepare to launch it on the Lantern Festival.
Obviously, Golden Jade Pavilion succeeded. When the manager of Golden Jade Pavilion said 100% gold, all the women's eyes suddenly lit up. Even the flickering lights could not hide it.
"100% gold is perfect for people! Due to the urgency of time, our store specially made a piece of gold jewelry and launched it on the Lantern Festival. This is the first piece of gold jewelry in the world, and it has an extraordinary significance. " The shopkeeper of the Golden Jade Pavilion waved his hand, and a pretty maid walked to the front of the stage with a tray. On the tray, there was a woman's golden thread that exuded a strange charm under the illumination of the fiery trees and silver flowers.
Modun praised in his heart. Clan Head Qian was indeed a senior in the business world. The saying of having enough gold to match a perfect person would definitely be popular in the Great Tang. In an instant, he had raised the value of Ten Percent Gold to infinitely high. In the future, as long as a wealthy family got married, Ten Percent Gold would definitely be a standard item.
He believed that after tonight, Golden Jade Pavilion of the Qian Family would definitely become the top jewelry store in the Tang dynasty.
"Well, how much is it? I'll take it!" Before the crowd came back to their senses from the golden light, they heard a young man's proud voice.
"Why do you want it? It's not like I don't have money!" A middle-aged rich businessman with a big belly said, not to be outdone.
"Because I'm the legitimate son of the Wei Family of South City, Wei Sian," Wei Sian said proudly. Beside him, a coquettish woman was accompanying him, acting coquettishly from time to time to please him.
The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar. The Wei Family of South City was a famous family in Chang 'an with great power. Naturally, everyone knew the name of the Wei Family of South City.
The middle-aged rich businessman's face changed, and he hurriedly flattered, "I was blinded by lard and offended Young Master Wei."
After the middle-aged rich businessman hurriedly apologized, he turned around and disappeared into the crowd, leaving without looking back. In this era, the status of businessmen was low, and they could only retreat in the face of the powerful.
Wei Sian looked around proudly, and the people around him nodded, not daring to look at him.
"Oppressing people with power, how abominable!" Princess Changle clenched her silver teeth and clenched her fists angrily.
"Miss, you're visiting incognito today. You shouldn't have conflicts with others!" The middle-aged woman who had been following her advised in a low voice.
Princess Changle put down her fists angrily. When she saw Meton, she had an idea and said, "Meton, go and teach this person a lesson. Don't let him have his way."
Meton was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately said without hesitation, "Okay, I'll definitely get back the jewelry for Brother Li Zhi."
Princess Changle immediately blushed and said, "Who said it's for the jewelry?"
However, after saying this, even she didn't have the confidence to say it. The first full set of gold jewelry was really tempting to her.
"Brother Wei, what a coincidence. I've also taken a fancy to this set of jewelry." Meton stepped forward and suddenly said loudly.
Wei Sian suddenly turned his head and stared at Meton. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mo Jiazi."
