Chapter 552 - The Jade Used by Noble Consort Yang

This was the first time that Yang Xiaolan had been surrounded by so many people.

Their burning gazes and unfriendly questions made her sweat.

Gu Qiqi pushed through the crowd and walked to her.

She rubbed her long hair lightly and said in a low but powerful voice, “Xiaolan, believe in yourself. You can do it.”

It was a simple encouragement without any nonsense.

But it was like a dose of a strengthening agent that entered Yang Xiaolan’s heart!

That’s right. Why was she afraid?

Qiqi had already helped her stand up for her to this extent. If she still failed to live up to expectations and couldn’t take charge alone, then she would be too ashamed to face Qiqi.

In order to hold her head high today and crush that plagiarist Yang Xiaoqing, she had already endured countless nights studying and memorizing the pharmaceutical uses of various jade stones.

She had read the important points that Qiqi had marked on the pharmaceutical book more than a hundred times. She wasn’t afraid even if Feng Yangchu came to test her.

Wasn’t she just an arrogant and conceited rich wife in front of her?

She wasn’t afraid either.

After calming down, Yang Xiaolan’s eyes flashed with certainty.

She smiled lightly and held that pair of earrings in her hand. Her first words didn’t conflict with the customer first. “Mrs. Mu, you have good taste. This earring is the most expensive new product in our Lan Ting. This is the only one.”

Everyone’s gazes landed on the earring.

The material used to make this earring was indeed very special. It wasn’t ordinary monochrome jade, but two colors. The smoke-purple jade was integrated with exquisite white jade to form a small calabash shape.

“The calabash is called “Hu Lu” in Chinese. Its name and “Fu Lu,” are homonyms. The phrase “Fu Lu Shuang Quan” in Chinese means enjoying fortune and blessings. Wearing a pair of small calabashes means that you will have both fortune and happiness. Your career and family will be very successful and happy. This is our designer’s beautiful wish for our guests.”

Yang Xiaolan’s explanation made everyone nod repeatedly.

Not bad, not bad. The meaning was very good.

Mrs. Mu snorted coldly. “What about the effect?! Where’s the magical effect that you’re bragging about?”

Yang Xiaolan spoke neither fast nor slow. “The effect of pharmaceuticals isn’t something to brag about, but it is a natural side effect. These calabash earrings are made from Qinghai Soft Jade. Its effect is to nourish the body and quench thirst. It can eliminate the heat of the lungs and relieve frustration. It nourishes the heart, lungs, throat, and hair.”

“Heh heh, you couldn’t have said that on purpose because I wanted to cool down just now, right?!” Mrs. Mu refused to give in.

Yang Xiaolan smiled lightly. “Of course not. It’s long been recorded in the pharmaceutical records that Noble Consort Yang in the Tang Dynasty used jade to nourish the lungs and relieve heartburn. She used this Qinghai Soft Jade.”

The soft jade that Noble Consort Yang used?!

The noblewomen pricked up their ears and looked at the earrings differently.

Mrs. Mu was skeptical. “Can this jade really relieve heartburn?”

Yang Xiaolan soaked the soft jade in the boiling water and washed it clean. Then, she brewed the most ordinary jasmine tea in the shop and threw the small calabash into the water to soak for more than ten seconds.

Then, she offered the tea to everyone.

A bold person took a sip. “Eh, it doesn’t taste like jasmine. It actually tastes a little bitter like Buddha’s hand… But it’s surprisingly moisturizing to the throat.”

Even Mrs. Mu couldn’t help but take a sip.

After tasting it, she didn’t say anything when others asked her how it was. She only pointed at the pair of calabash earrings. “I want it! Give me the bill! Hurry!”

Although she didn’t comment on it, her exclamation had already overturned her questioning just now.

It was obvious that she wanted to snatch this pair of beautiful and unique earrings that only Noble Consort Yang was worthy of using.

Gu Qiqi smiled and nodded slightly at Yang Xiaolan as if she was praising her for doing well! Yang Xiaolan blushed and smiled shyly.

Gu Xuexue’s expression turned ugly.

Initially, she was very confident that a useless student like Yang Xiaolan would definitely stammer and be unable to say anything.

She didn’t expect Yang Xiaolan to learn so much from a bookworm and talk about sales strategies.

She couldn’t help but pull on Mrs. Mu’s elbow and whispered, “Mrs. Mu, don’t fall for it. I know that you want to buy it as evidence and then use it for an appraisal agency to test, right?”

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Mu pushed her away.
