Chapter 18: Eyes
"Okay, tomorrow you two sisters will go shopping on the street and buy whatever you like." Zhen Yuanshan casually agreed.
The five hundred taels of silver she got with great effort, this Zhen Yue got it by tearing the pig's mouth, it seems that Zhen Yuanshan's eccentricity cannot be cured by one or two things.
Thinking of this, Zhen Chutian nodded generously: "Okay, let's use five hundred taels of silver, and my sister will wait for me tomorrow." ”
Sample, see if I don't kill you!
System: "Women are terrible, and women who are jealous are even more terrible, and they slip away." ”
During the conversation, Bottle Yuanshan finally got up and left.
Seeing that Zhen Yue was busy with support, Zhen Chutian couldn't get used to closing the door: "How can you say she can pretend to be so good?" Obviously, I was a waste before, and I didn't have any combat effectiveness at all, so why did she learn to work so hard to please me?"
She really couldn't figure out whether Zhen Yue was born with a strong White Lotus, or if her cultivation rank was too high, so she would perform White Lotus all the time.
"Isn't Miss worried about tomorrow? There are only five hundred taels of silver, and if Miss Two buys a piece of jewelry for more than one hundred taels, then Miss will die at a loss. Pell frowned worriedly, her face very unhappy.
Zhen Chutian patted her on the shoulder and said indifferently: "Don't worry, not only will I not let her be able to buy jewelry, but I can also spend all the silver in front of her." ”
"Really?"
Pei'er's eyes widened, and her eyes were full of stars: "Miss is too powerful!"
"That's it."
Outside the courtyard walls, Nightshadow leaned against a tree, smiling a little.
Day 2.
Zhen Chutian got up early in the morning, wearing a peach blossom skirt and a peach blossom bun on her hair, dressed up pretty and pleasing.
She could think of dressing up carefully, Zhen Yue naturally had a mind to suppress her, and all kinds of precious jewelry and gold silk clothes greeted her.
Just looking at her luxurious appearance, she is a proper beauty, but standing by Zhen Chutian's side, she suddenly loses her color, and there is no shortage of luxurious women in the capital, but there is a lack of a lively and moving little daughter like Zhen Chutian.
Seeing that the eyes of pedestrians on the street fell on Zhen Chutian, her face was slightly gloomy with anger, and then she raised a smile and leaned over: "Sister, let's go directly to the jewelry store." ”
"Okay."
Zhen Chutian nodded immediately, always smiling.
The two came to the shop, and Zhen Yue immediately picked up the red coral bracelet. Put it on your wrist and compare it back and forth: "Shopkeeper, how much silver is this?"
"Miss Zhen Er is really a good eye! This coral bracelet is inlaid with rubies, which were carved by the royal craftsmen, so it is worth two hundred taels of silver. The shopkeeper took two steps forward and introduced with a smile.
Pell was behind and stopped.
She knew that the second lady would be like this, and it wasn't that she couldn't get her hands on dozens of taels of jewelry, so she had to grab the silver like this?
Zhen Yue put on the bracelet and said with a smile: "Sister, what do you think of this bracelet?"
"It's good-looking, you can buy it if you like it." Zhen Chutian looked at the jewelry seriously and replied casually.
Zhen Yue was surprised that she was so generous, and she didn't have time to say the prepared words: "Sister is really good." ”
"That's it."
Zhen Chutian hooked his lips and picked up a golden Buddha casually: "I want to set up a Buddha hall to worship the Buddha, how much silver is this?"
"Hey, this golden Buddha is very valuable, and he specially asked the temple host to open the light, and the Buddha is six hundred taels of silver." The shopkeeper immediately came over.
Hearing this, Zhen Yue couldn't help but pout.
Only a fool would spend so much silver on the Golden Buddha.
"It's too expensive, so don't want it." Zhen Chutian sighed regretfully and put it down.
But she didn't hold it steady, the golden Buddha crooked, and then fell from the table to the ground, shattering to the ground.
Looking at the debris on the ground, everyone was stunned, and no one recovered from this change.
Pei'er swallowed: "Now, what should I do now?"
"What do you say? Lose money! Since you broke it, hand over the six hundred taels of silver, and you will buy the golden Buddha. The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and made jewelry for silver.
Zhen Yue raised her eyebrows tightly, and her face had sunk.
She really didn't expect that if she hadn't bought a piece of jewelry today, she would have to pay 600 taels to others.
But this is Zhen Chutian's business, she just waits to see the joke.
Thinking of this, Zhen Yue was just about to hold her arms to watch a good show, when she saw Zhen Chutian looking over pitifully: "I only have five hundred taels here, sister, do you still have any silver in your hand?"
"I didn't." Zhen Yue took two steps back without thinking: "I also want to help my sister, but today I pointed out that if the five hundred taels bought jewelry, I didn't let Cuiping bring the money bag when I came out." ”
She tried to make a self-reproachful expression: "I'm sorry, sister, you can only pay for it yourself." ”
"But I didn't take any money, I thought five hundred taels would be enough." Zhen Chutian pursed her lips anxiously, looking like she was about to cry.
The shopkeeper looked at them coldly: "It's less!" You are the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how can you come out to buy jewelry without a money bag? Six hundred taels of silver can't be lost to one, hurry up and hand it over!"
"But we really didn't ....."
Zhen Chutian's eyes suddenly lit up: "Shopkeeper, do you think this will work?" I told the maid to go back and fetch a hundred taels, and we waited here. ”
"No! I'm afraid that your maid will report to the Prime Minister, if you offend him, not only do you not have six hundred taels of silver, I'm afraid I won't be able to do this business, don't think about it, hurry up and give the silver!"
The shopkeeper's step by step approached, and his voice gradually became louder, attracting everyone on the street.
Zhen Yue only felt embarrassed, and her tone was not good: "We are Miss Xiangfu, we will not do anything to repay the debt, and we will not tell my father that I have relied on this hundred taels, you can let Pei'er go quickly." ”
"No! Even if you vomit today, you have to vomit enough money to me, otherwise not only will you not be able to get out of this shop, but you will also have no reputation!" After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he walked straight to the side of the road.
Looking at his posture, Zhen Yue suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart: "You, what are you going to do?"
"Hey, let's take a look! The two young ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion will not pay for the silver if they break the Golden Buddha, and they will have to pay for one hundred taels!"
The shopkeeper waved his hand to passers-by: "Have you seen it?" The second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion wears gold and silver, but she doesn't have any silver to give, isn't this a clear bully to a businessman!"
Hearing this, Zhen Yue almost didn't mention it in one breath.
This is obviously Zhen Chutian who broke the Golden Buddha, and the silver should also be Zhen Chutian's money, how did she end up refusing to give it if she had the silver!
"You, stop shouting! Aren't you afraid of offending our Prime Minister's Mansion?" Cui Ping hurriedly stepped forward and scolded.
The shopkeeper shook her off: "I will earn fifty taels if I sell the Golden Buddha, you will lose five hundred taels today, and I will lose one hundred taels, compared to offending the Prime Minister's Mansion, I don't have a month's ration money, it is better to let it go!"
Her good reputation in the capital, in addition to being as beautiful as a flower is dignified and courteous, now the jewelry cabinet is so big, if it spreads all over the capital, then she will also become a joke.
What to do, what to do now!
"Sister, you see that he has made a fuss like this, so let's hurry up and hand over the silver." Zhen Chutian anxiously urged.
Zhen Yue was so angry that she couldn't help but yell: "Are you deaf?" It takes me a few times to understand that I don't have any money! Didn't take any money!"
"Then give the jewelry on your head to the shopkeeper, and I think your two hairpins are worth a hundred taels." After Zhen Chutian finished speaking, he raised his voice and said, "We use jewelry to compensate, can we succeed?"
The shopkeeper stopped shouting, turned around and looked at the two in disbelief: "What jewelry to pay for?"
Zhen Yue was silent with a dark face.
Seeing that she was indifferent, Zhen Chutian simply walked over and put down the two hairpins on her bun: "Are these two enough?"
"You!"
Zhen Yue didn't expect her to dare to start directly, and when she straightened her bun, she touched a strand of long hair that had been pulled down, and she was angry.
"Enough is enough, these two hairpins are good things." The smile of the school cabinet took the hairpin and put it into his sleeve like a baby: "It's still the eldest lady who counts, and the one or two silver that should be given is not bad, okay, you can go." ”
Zhen Yue's eyes were dark, and she barely held Cuiping's hand so that she didn't fall.
Obviously, it was Zhen Chutian who broke the Golden Buddha, and she paid for it with her own jewelry, how could she end up being this cheap hoof? !
Zhen Chutian politely thanked the shopkeeper, and then left satisfied.
A few people walked around the corner, and Zhen Yue couldn't hold back anymore: "Why is my sister so careless?" Do you know that without my jewelry today, our reputation will be ruined!"
"I know." Zhen Chutian smiled very calmly: "Thank you sister for your help." ”
Zhen Yue looked at her unhurried appearance, and felt even more depressed in her heart: "Thank you for not needing, just return my jewelry and silver." ”
"What jewelry silver?" Zhen Chutian's eyes widened, staring at her with some puzzlement.
Zhen Yuedeng was anxious: "The two hairpins just now were paid by me to the shopkeeper, you should return them to me." ”
It's really hateful to be here pretending to be stupid and thinking about food accounts!
Zhen Chutian nodded hurriedly: "Then you go to your father and ask for it, tell him about today, and he will give you the silver." ”
"You, you can't give it to me?" Zhen Yue frowned impatiently, she didn't expect it to be so troublesome to ask for silver.
She has already asked her father for eight hundred taels this month, and if she asks for it again, she is afraid that she will be preached.
Zhen Chutian spread his hands: "Although I am a housekeeper, I really don't have much silver in my hand, and I can't afford to give you money for this jewelry." ”
After saying that, she left with Pei'er directly, without even a look.
Looking at her back, Zhen Yue's face turned black with anger: "Look at her like that!" I want to slap her in the mouth!"
"Miss, don't be angry, Prince An made an appointment with a good friend to meet in the teahouse today, and the slave maid took you over, who can take care of her." Cui Ping hurriedly reassured, for fear that she would delay her business.
Hearing her mention Prince An, Zhen Yue suddenly showed a shy smile: "You're right, it's still Prince An who is important, let's go around the corner."
Zhen Chutian didn't go far, and when he saw the two of them leave the alley, he walked out with confidence and went to the jewelry store.
"Miss, here?"
The shopkeeper changed his previous unreasonable appearance and hurriedly leaned over.
Zhen Chutian nodded and took the five hundred taels in his hand: "You have to keep those two pieces of jewelry, so you can take them as the hard money for you to accompany me to act, and this golden Buddha, how much silver did you spend to buy it?"
"Harm, this golden Buddha is worthless, only two taels of silver, the eldest lady doesn't have to take it to heart, you can get a hundred taels of silver jewelry by accompanying you to act, or I make a lot of money." The shopkeeper smiled and was very happy when he saw it.
Hearing this, Zhen Chutian couldn't help but feel proud: "Next time, there is such a good thing to call you." ”
She arranged everything last night, and said that she would move the shopkeeper to act, so that not only would the five hundred taels of silver not fall into Zhen Yue's hands, but she could also let her paste some silver jewelry upside down.
"Miss is really clever, maybe the second miss will never know the inside story of this matter in her life." Pei'er said this in amazement, and she only had admiration for her own young lady.
Hearing this, Zhen Chutian couldn't help but smile lightly: "What is this, I told you, I won't let her take advantage of me." ”
"Okay, does the young lady want to buy something with five hundred taels, or will she go home?" Pell stepped forward and grabbed her arm.
