In front of the Golden Jade Tower.
It was overcrowded, and the bustling scene was not inferior to last night. After a night's preparation, the Green Jade Case became a hot topic in Chang 'an.
Since dawn, there had been an endless stream of people in front of the Golden Jade Tower. Countless poets, scholars, and rich businessmen came to the Golden Jade Tower. On the one hand, they wanted to inquire about Mo Jiazi's sweetheart. On the other hand, they wanted to admire the Green Jade Case. There were even some rich people who spent a lot of money to order jewelry made of pure gold. If they could not wait, they directly bought the existing jewelry.
At noon, the crowd did not increase, but decreased. When the news came from the gate of the Mo Mansion, more people rushed to the Golden Jade Tower, waiting for the girls holding the golden thread to identify the authenticity.
Although the sweetheart of Mo Jiazi was still a mystery, it would be a hot topic if they knew the identity of these girls.
The shopkeeper of the Golden Jade Tower took the opportunity to attract customers. Even if the weather was still cold, he was still busy and sweating.
Finally, he had some free time. The shopkeeper of the Golden Jade Tower walked to the front of Family Head Qian, who came in person. He pointed to the countless people outside who were ready to watch the fun and said, "Boss, it's already noon. It seems that those girls won't come."
Family Head Qian nodded. They had expected this situation. He said, "Since it can't be true, why will they come?"
The shopkeeper of the Golden Jade Tower said regretfully, "Since they won't come, I'll take the gold away."
Family Head Qian shook his head and showed an inexplicable smile. He said, "That's not necessary. The demonstration will go on as usual. The Old Man was worried that there was no way to prove that the gold in the Golden Jade Tower was pure gold. I didn't expect that Marquis Merton would send a way so quickly."
Taoism alone was not enough to make people believe that the gold in the Golden Jade Tower was pure gold. However, if they used Mo Jiazi's method and let the customers measure it directly, the reputation of the Golden Jade Tower would be greatly increased.
"Boss, you're so wise! Then we'll get ready now. "The shopkeeper of the Golden Jade Pavilion said in admiration.
The shopkeeper of the Golden Jade Pavilion directly made his way to the platform from yesterday. He took out a regular strand of gold and a sufficient amount of gold. He took out two identical measuring cups from the Mo clan and said loudly to everyone, "These are measuring cups specially used by the Mo clan to measure water. The water level in the cups is equal, and the strand of gold and gold in my hands are equal in weight."
After the shopkeeper of the Golden Jade Pavilion asked the people below the stage to personally inspect it, he said loudly, "It is confirmed that there is no mistake. Later, I will put the Golden Thread and Solid Gold in my hand into the measuring cup. Whether it is correct or not, you will know at once."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the shopkeeper of the Golden Jade Building put the gold strands and the pure gold strands into different measuring cups. Sure enough, it could be seen that the measuring cup with the pure gold strands had a lower water level. With the addition of the same amount of gold strands and pure gold strands, the difference in the water level in the measuring cup became bigger and bigger.
Some people even tested their own gold accessories, and the results were exactly the same.
"So it's true!" Everyone was in an uproar.
Only then did they confirm that Mo Jiazi's method of testing the pure gold strands was indeed suitable. Meanwhile, it also confirmed that the gold strands of the Golden Jade Pavilion were pure gold strands.
"Everyone, the Golden Jade Pavilion is honest with all customers. In the future, all the gold accessories purchased from the Golden Jade Pavilion can be verified by this method." The shopkeeper of the Golden Jade Pavilion took the opportunity to advertise.
"Of course, we believe in the Golden Jade Pavilion. I want to order a complete gold strand of gold strands. The price is not a problem." At this moment, a rich businessman below the stage shouted loudly.
At this moment, with the heated discussion on the Spring Festival Eve, the gold strands became the most ideal thing for countless girls. If there was a complete gold strand of gold strands, it would be in the limelight.
The shopkeeper of the Golden Jade Pavilion was in a dilemma. He could not help but look at Patriarch Qian on the side.
Hearing this, Patriarch Qian stood up and laughed loudly, "Dear guest, I'm sorry. In order to repay the kindness of Marquis Merton's poem, the Golden Jade Pavilion has decided not to make any more gold strands. The gold strands sent by Marquis Merton are the first gold strands in the world. It is also the only gold strands produced by the Golden Jade Pavilion. If you want, you can choose other styles."
"The only one?" Suddenly, everyone involuntarily looked at Patriarch Qian. It could be imagined that with the continuous spread of the Spring Festival Eve of the Green Jade Pavilion, if the Golden Jade Pavilion made the same type of gold strands, it would be a big seller. No one thought that the Golden Jade Pavilion would do this.
Patriarch Qian smiled and showed a grateful face. In fact, his heart was bleeding. As a result, the Golden Jade Pavilion had suffered a great loss. However, some ordinary gold jewelry had caused such a disturbance. If there was a complete gold strand of gold strands that could not be distinguished from the real one, it would be a big deal.
The main reason why the Golden Jade Pavilion had enough gold strands was that Mo Jiazi was the middleman. If they offended Mo Jiazi, as long as Mo Jiazi gave a hint, the Taoist External Alchemy Sect would immediately cut off the Golden Jade Pavilion's gold strands. At that time, the Golden Jade Pavilion would immediately return to its original state. It was better to do a favor at little cost from the beginning to form a good relationship.
"At the same time, the Golden Jade Pavilion promised to give a thousand gold strands to Marquis Merton last night, but it was rejected by Merton. Merton regards money as dirt, but I have to repay his kindness. In the morning, the Golden Jade Pavilion has donated a thousand gold strands to the Red Words Association in the name of Merton. You can check it later. "Patriarch Qian took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
"Patriarch Qian is really benevolent!" Everyone praised. So far, the Golden Jade Pavilion had become popular in Chang 'an City.
In the Li Zheng Hall.
Empress Zhangsun looked at the account book of the Red Cross Society and could not help but frown. "Meton donated a thousand gold strands?"
Behind her, a middle-aged maid bowed and said, "Empress, I have checked. It was not donated by Merton, but by the Golden Jade Pavilion to Marquis Merton. Marquis Merton did not accept it, so the Golden Jade Pavilion donated it in the name of Marquis Merton."
"Green Jade Pavilion's New Year's Eve?" Empress Zhangsun could not help but think of this popular poem. Obviously, Mo Jiazi could write such a poem because he was deeply in love with the woman in the poem.
As a woman, Empress Zhangsun had a delicate mind. When she read this poem, she also had a lot of feelings. She and Li Shimin loved each other, so she naturally had a deep understanding.
"So, the woman beside Meton last night is still a mystery!" Empress Zhangsun asked.
The middle-aged maid nodded and said, "So far, I'm afraid that no one knows who the woman is except Merton."
"Oh!" Empress Zhangsun was suddenly curious and asked, "Did Changle go out of the palace last night at the lantern market?"
The middle-aged maid lowered her head and said, "Empress, Her Royal Highness did go to the lantern market last night, but whether she went or came back, she was dressed as a woman."
Empress Zhangsun did not know whether she should be relieved or regretful. Logically speaking, Mo Jiazi was indeed a good match. He was talented and knowledgeable, and he could share weal and woe with thousands of families in the Mo's Village. His character was flawless.
However, Princess Changle had just broken off her engagement. Empress Zhangsun already felt guilty because of the matter of her being a close relative. In addition, according to medical research, Princess Changle, who was not yet fifteen, was indeed too young. This was the reason why Empress Zhangsun had not made any moves.
Who would have thought that Mo Jiazi's sweetheart would appear on the night of Shangyuan? What was more worrying was that no one knew who the sweetheart was.
