Chapter 413 - 265: The Person in the Snow
"Wasn’t the fish tank sold?" Ran Yan suddenly remembered Ran Yun had mentioned this before, and that its design was based on the features of jade, making it difficult to encounter such a shape again.
"The person who bought the fish tank didn’t appreciate it, hmph, and later swapped it for something else to give to Lady Zheng. So I spent twice the money and bought it back," Ran Yun said with a wince.
Ran Yan looked at her curiously. A miser continually plucking feathers—what was this about?
"Is it so strange? The value of goods can yield different profits in different hands at different times," Ran Yun said with an eye roll.
Ran Yan smiled slightly. The young girl always managed to surprise her. "I must say, you have truly made me see you in a new light."
Ran Yun never engaged in an unprofitable venture. At Old Lady Zheng’s birthday banquet, her items hadn’t been sold in time, but she made a fortune just from the ’Pine and Crane Prolonging Life’ jade sculpture. Ran Pingyu even gifted her the Linglang Pavilion as her dowry, not to mention the many other small items that also earned her quite a bit. The intricately made fish tank, even if given away, was a gift for Lady Xiao! It served as an introduction to the noble houses for Linglang Pavilion, with its stamp carved at the bottom. If they were interested, they would surely notice it. Moreover, it put Ran Yan in her debt. As Ran Yan was to be a nobleman’s wife, by any calculation, she wasn’t at a loss.
"Just so-so," Ran Yun said lightly, yet her face was filled with pride.
Ran Yan laughed softly. After everything was in order, she bid farewell to Ran Yun and headed to the front hall.
...
Just as she reached the front of the hall, she immediately noticed Xiao Song. He wore a round-collared purple robe, his black hair arranged up, his eyebrows slightly raised, as dazzlingly handsome as ever. He was always spirited in front of others, though his face had thinned a lot, with a faint shadow beneath his eyes.
When Mrs. Luo saw Ran Yan, she inspected her carefully and nodded to herself in approval. Mrs. Xing was indeed skilled; Ran Yan, in this attire, would not seem out of place wherever she stood.
