I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Chapter 165: The glass candlestick sold for 82!

Ji Xiaobei's heart skipped a beat. Is this the end?

Wouldn’t the imperial physician’s eagle eyes be able to see the clues?

She calmed herself down and asked, "Doctor, am I okay?"

The court doctor relaxed his brows and said, "You are more than five months pregnant. You have been sleeping in the open air and traveling all the way from Wei County. It has been tiring for pregnant women since ancient times. Overwork will weaken your energy, but how come the girl looks so good!

I want to ask what supplements do you take on a daily basis?"

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "My family lives in the countryside of Wei County. I work in the fields all year round. How can I afford any supplements?"

Jiaojiao also heard from Ruo Xiaolian that Ji Xiaobei's family opened a small handicraft workshop, which was just an ordinary family.

She probably hasn't taken any supplements.

The court doctor did not ask any further questions, but smiled and said, "Young lady, take good care of yourself, everything will be fine!"

He was about to step down after he finished speaking.

Ji Xiaobei stopped him and asked, "Doctor, is the baby in my belly a boy or a girl?"

The court doctor smiled and said, "Based on my experience, it's a boy!"

Ji Xiaobei: Just like what the little beggar’s grandmother said, maybe it’s a boy!

She secretly felt lucky that it was a boy. If it was a girl, it would be troublesome if she looked like her.

It doesn’t matter if the boy is big, rough, ugly or deformed.

After the court doctor left, a maid brought in a tray with two exquisite soup bowls on it.

Ji Xiaobei and Jiaojiao drank a bowl each.

Jiaojiao took Ji Xiaobei to the back garden to appreciate the flowers.

Ruo Xiaolian walked over quickly and said, "Madam, we'll enjoy the flowers in the afternoon. I'll take my sister to the shop to choose some headwear and jewelry!"

"What do you know? I'll go with you if you want to go, sister, let's go!"

"Xiao Lian, I came with you to discuss business..."

Ji Xiaobei brought up the main topic.

She is anxious to cash in the goods!

"Yes, yes, sister has a lot of treasures, I will open their eyes for you later!" said Ruo Xiaolian.

Ji Xiaobei returned to the guest room, took out the glass crafts from the refrigerator and put them in a box.

As they went out, Ji Xiaobei stretched out his hand and handed the box to Fu Jichang.

Heita took it hurriedly.

The sedan chair is ready at the door.

The little maid quickly stepped forward and held Jiaojiao's arm.

Jiaojiao glanced at the maidservant following Ji Xiaobei and said unhappily, "Why don't you help my sister?"

The maid took a few quick steps and supported Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Xiaobei was a little uncomfortable: "No, really no, I can do it myself."

Before the maid could even touch her, she had already stepped into the sedan chair.

Jiaojiao was shocked by the speed.

Fu Jichang and Heita looked at each other in confusion.

She is so delicate and weak that she can be blown down by a gust of wind. She really needs help.

Ji Xiaobei, you have a body that even a hurricane can’t blow away. Are you sure you need help?

Madam Ruo Xiaolian is really worrying too much!

After a while, several people arrived in front of a three-story shop.

In large gilded characters it reads: Cuijinlou Anzhou Branch

The shopkeeper knew early in the morning that his master and his mistress were coming to choose a headdress, so all the employees came out to greet them and lined up in front of the shop.

Ruo Xiaolian waved his hand and said, "You all go back to work. Manager Li and Manager Wang, you two stay here!"

The two shopkeepers followed them to the VIP room on the third floor.

"This is my elder sister. Bring us the latest headwear styles in our shop and let her choose one!"

"No, no, I'm not used to wearing this. I'd better take out the goods first and let you guys take a look."

Ji Xiaobei said.

Heita put the box on the table.

Fu Jichang stood aside, thinking: What is Ji Xiaobei trying to hide? Her wares are nothing more than glass beads and bracelets.

The two shopkeepers stood behind Ruo Xiaolian, looking at the box curiously.

The quality of the box is very good, better than the ones in their shop.

If Xiaolian had seen that glass candlestick, which was crystal clear and had a unique shape, it must have been a top-quality item made by a skilled craftsman.

Fu Jichang opened the box and everyone's eyes widened.

The teapot and cups in the box shine brightly in the sunlight, emitting dazzling luster.

"Ah, sister, this... this is more exquisite than that candlestick, my god..."

Ruo Xiaolian opened his eyes wide and tried to take the cup with trembling hands.

Jiaojiao reached out and grabbed his hand, saying excitedly: "Don't move, I'll take a good look. This is the first time I've seen something like this in my life. Sister, where did you buy it from?"

The two shopkeepers also stretched their necks and came over.

"Glass teapot! Boss, this glass is top-grade glass, better than the treasure in our shop..."

Shopkeeper Wang was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

Fu Jichang thought to himself: This glass cup is really rare. Cuijinlou is a well-known silver shop in the capital, and they have rarely seen it. It must be something of inestimable value.

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "My father was fighting in the northern border. He came back a few times and brought back these things. We farmers can't use such good things, so we'd better sell them to people who know the value of them!"

"Xiao Lian, ask the shopkeeper to give you a price, and I will sell it to you if it's suitable!" Ji Xiaobei was eager to know how much it could be sold for.

This time, she wanted to do something big.

Both shopkeepers looked at Ruo Xiaolian.

"Why are you looking at me? Talk about valuation!" Ruo Xiaolian rolled his eyes at them.

"Eight, eight, eight hundred taels of silver!" said Shopkeeper Wang.

Shopkeeper Li nodded and said this price was a fair one.

Because their house-guarding treasure was worth five hundred yuan, and this set of cups and bowls is much better than the one they have at home.

"How much?" Ji Xiaobei asked with wide eyes.

"Eight, eight hundred taels..." the shopkeeper repeated it with trembling lips.

Ruo Xiaolian looked at Ji Xiaobei's expression and thought that she disliked the low price, so he hurriedly said, "Eight hundred and fifty taels is also fine..."

According to his estimate, this set of cups and plates could be sold for more than 1,000 taels...

"That's enough, that's enough, eight hundred taels will be enough!" Ji Xiaobei suppressed his inner excitement and slapped the table.

There was only a click, and a corner of the table fell off...
