Chapter 206 Glass Blind Box
There will never be a shortage of rich people at any time or under any circumstances.

Mr. Lin drank two extra glasses of wine during a social gathering last night and had thought he could sleep a little longer today. However, early in the morning, a gong sounded outside, which made his ears buzz and he could no longer sleep.

He stood up irritably and ordered his personal servant Chunxi, "Go out and see what's going on outside!"

Chunxi responded and ran out quickly without delay.

There were two carriages loaded with many wooden boxes parked outside. A girl in green was beating a gong and explaining something to the servants of Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chen next door. Chunxi went over to listen.

The girl in green casually took a wooden box from the carriage and opened it. "See? Such a glass bracelet only costs ten taels of silver."

She took out the colorful beads and showed them to the three servants one by one.

Chunxi swallowed his saliva. His master had become fascinated with colored glass in recent years and had collected several strings of it. Each string was worth tens or even hundreds of taels, but none of them was as clear as the one in the hands of the girl in green.

He can read, but he doesn't understand what the so-called "blind box" means.

"Miss, what does this blind box mean?" Chunxi thought he was a servant who had seen the world following his master, and when he saw the other two remained silent, he straightened his back and asked.

Lu Mei slapped her thigh with an exaggerated expression, "This guy has hit the nail on the head!"

Chunxi raised his chin under the gaze of the other two servants.

"In the two carriages behind me, each box is filled with different styles of glass bracelets and glass beads. This one is a bracelet, only ten taels of silver." Lu Mei said, pointing to the carriage with a slightly smaller box, and then pointed to the other one, "This one is a bead, twenty taels."

Hongmei picked up a wooden box and opened it. Inside was a bracelet made entirely of red beads.

Lu Yi also walked forward and picked up a wooden box, opening it, revealing a string of dark-colored beads inside.

Lumei took the opportunity to increase her voice, "Which style you buy depends entirely on your luck."

The girl said that this way of selling goods needs to be loud enough for more people to hear.

Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng stood aside, watching Lu Mei's posture, and couldn't help but sigh, "Lu Mei is really suitable for live broadcasting."

Yu Chaosheng nodded in agreement, he is indeed a good candidate for live streaming.

The three little girls stood beside the carriage guarding the goods, feeling very nervous.

Pan Yingying said that everyone could get one percent of the money from selling the glass beads, but the business has not opened for a long time, and it is nothing like selling things on the way to escape.

Yu Qiuer clutched her shoulder bag and kept staring at the gates of each courtyard, praying that some ladies and masters would come out.

After Chunxi had listened to Lumei's introduction, he bowed to her and strode back to the Lin Mansion with his head held high.

Mr. Lin had already gotten up and was drinking tea to wake himself up while his concubine was massaging his temples.

Chunxi stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and told him everything he had heard from outside.

Mr. Lin didn't quite believe it at first. What kind of glass could be bought with ten taels of silver?
But Chunxi was his personal servant and there was no way he would lie to him. Anyway, he had nothing to do now and there was no harm in going to take a look.

When Mr. Lin arrived, Mr. Zhang was standing in front of the carriage, picking and choosing.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, what are you doing?" Mr. Lin asked knowingly.

Mr. Zhang cursed secretly in his heart, "Old scumbag", but his smile remained unchanged, "I think this blind box is very interesting, so I thought I would try to see if I can get something good out of it."

In fact, he had just bought one and got a colorful bracelet. The bracelet was crystal clear, colorful and flawless, and it was worth a lot of money at first glance. It was perfect for collection or gifting.

Mr. Lin knew very well that Mr. Yuan would not do anything without profit, so he said no more and took out two five-liang silver ingots from his purse, intending to buy one to try his hand.

Long Er, wearing a mask, took the money and wrote down in his notebook, "One box of bracelets."

Honglian smiled and said, "Sir, please choose."

Mr. Lin looked left and right but couldn't figure out what was going on. Every box looked exactly the same, with no difference at all.

He didn't want to lose his dignity as a wealthy man, so he took one nearby.

When I opened it, I almost gasped.

There is a golden glass bead mixed in with the emerald green beads, which is really noble.

Long Er's red lips curled up slightly under the mask. She had been in the palace for more than ten years and had seen countless good things. She naturally had good taste and knew how to match beads to make them look expensive.

Mr. Lin held the box tightly in his hand and watched as Mr. Zhang opened a string of three-colored beads in the shape of "Fu, Lu, and Shou".

He took out a silver note of 100 taels from his purse with an expressionless face, "Open ten more!"

Long Er tried hard to hold back the corners of his lips that kept rising. "Excuse me, sir. We are from the Northwest. They don't accept silver bills over there, so we only accept gold, silver and copper coins."

Mr. Lin's forehead twitched. He heard that the grasslands were conquered in the northwest a few years ago. This female steward should be right. The situation over there is indeed not suitable for using silver notes for the time being.

These glass beads might have been obtained from the Tartars, which is why they are so cheap.

Mr. Lin turned around and handed the box tightly in his hand to Chunxi, and ordered: "Give it to Madam, and ask him to take out two, no, three hundred taels of silver."

Chunxi nodded, took the box with both hands, and hurried back to the Lin Mansion.

Mr. Zhang has already opened three more boxes, and none of them are of the same style.

Mr. Chen leaned against the wall and watched for a long time, but finally he couldn't help it and brought the servant out.

He did not choose a bracelet, but bought a box of beads, intending to give it to his wife as a birthday gift.

As Mr. Chen, who has always been stingy, joined the blind box camp, other gentlemen who were still on the sidelines came out of their homes one after another.

Finally, many ladies who held high positions in their families also came out to make their selections in person.

I thought it wouldn't take too long, but I ended up being busy until the afternoon and didn't even have time to eat lunch.

When we returned to the inn, there were only a few boxes left on the two carriages.

While no one was paying attention, Pan Yingying put the silver into the space, and did not mention going back to the inn to rest. She asked Long Sanqi to run a trip and ask the people in the inn to come and meet up quickly, as they had to leave overnight.

The commotion of selling blind boxes today is quite loud. I can’t guarantee that I won’t be targeted. I’d better run away first.

Fortunately, they left the city directly. In the evening, an official went to the inn, only to find out that the people had already left. The county magistrate was so angry that he smashed several cups.

After traveling all night, Yu Chaosheng found a place, and everyone set up camp and had dinner. Pan Yingying took out Long Er's little notebook.

She wants to share money with everyone! Only after sharing the money can we rest, otherwise who can sleep?
