Stingy

After Ling Youyao learned that she would be leaving for Futai Paddock in the near future, she planned to finalize the purchase of a restaurant that she had mentioned to Lu Sheng before.

In fact, Lu Sheng had sent the list of suitable restaurants a long time ago, but she had been busy these days and had no time to go and see it with her own eyes. Taking advantage of her free time today, she just went over to have a look.

There was no one in the store, and the scene was completely different from the last time I came here.

Lu Sheng sat behind the counter with a frown on his face. When he saw Ling Youyao, he managed a smile and said, "Madam, you are here."

Ling Youyao saw that he was listless and asked, "What's wrong with you? What difficulties have you encountered recently?"

"Madam, me." Lu Sheng looked into her clear eyes and didn't know how to speak.

"If anything happens, just ask."

Lu Sheng lowered his head and said hesitantly: "Madam, you have also seen that business has not been very good these days. There is still a lot of materials accumulated in the warehouse. Now the weather is getting colder. If we can't sell anymore, we will wait for the weather to cool down completely.

I’m afraid the material will be wasted.”

Speaking of which, this matter was due to his negligence. Seeing that the feather brocade was selling well, he bought another batch of goods. Who would have thought that the weather in the capital would change so quickly and it would become cold all of a sudden.

When the weather gets colder, naturally no one buys summer clothes anymore.

After hearing this, Ling Youyao discovered that there were indeed summer clothes hanging in the store, and there were some autumn clothes, but there were just a few.

"You don't have to blame yourself, there is still a solution to this matter."

Hearing this, Lu Sheng's originally gloomy eyes ignited with light again: "Really?"

"Of course there is a way," Ling Youyao walked to the table and sat down, and said slowly, "It's the Double Ninth Festival now, winter has come early in the capital, and we should also plan to wear new autumn and winter clothes."

"Let's do this. You can discount the price of the feather brocades you stock up in the warehouse by 50% and sell them with autumn clothes."

Lu Sheng didn't understand: "Madam, wouldn't we be losing money?" The price of feather brocade is not cheap.

"Who said it was a loss?" Ling Youyao's eyes were crooked, flashing a bit cunningly, "Although the feather brocade is cheaper, the prices of other things can be increased."

After saying this, Lu Sheng understood and couldn't help but laugh: "Madam is wise, this is a good idea."

Ling Youyao smiled and then said: "I will not be in the capital for a while. You can take care of these matters yourself. I will ask Lu Bao to stay. If you need anything, go to her."

Lu Sheng was stunned: "Madam, do you want to leave the capital?"

"Well," Ling Youyao said, "I've looked at all the restaurants you picked. The one on South Street is more suitable. You go and negotiate with the boss. If the negotiation is successful, you can ask Lubao to pay for it."

"I understand." Lu Sheng nodded.

After explaining some other things, the master and the servants left the shop.

She originally wanted to go back, but seeing that it was still early and thinking that it would take less than half a month to return from Beijing this time, Ling Youyao decided to go back to Ling's house to visit her mother.

When she was about to get in the car, Ling Youyao suddenly saw two familiar figures walking past the jewelry shop across the street.

Yin Zhu noticed her gaze and looked over. After seeing the person clearly, she frowned and said, "Why is my cousin together with Miss Su?"

Ling Youyao had known about this for a long time and was not surprised, "My cousin has a good relationship with Su Lingxi. She left the palace and didn't want to go back to the Ling family. She had no choice but to go find Su Lingxi."

Although Su Lingxi is bad, Ling Ling is not much better. When these two people get together, I really don't know what will happen.

"It's a shame, Princess, that you gave her both jewelry and clothes earlier, but she didn't remember it at all and turned around and went shopping arm in arm with Miss Su." Lv Bao said indignantly, "You've really wasted your time.

A good heart.”

Ling Youyao shook her head and denied: "It's not a waste. At least I can really see what kind of person she is."

Although Ling Qingyan had said something about Ling Ling before, it was just hearsay. Some people still have to see it with their own eyes.

Lu Bao curled his lips and said weakly: "This slave is just angry for you."

Ling Youyao smiled and patted her hand, saying: "What's so angry about this? It's her business if she wants to get close to others. If she just leaves the palace, I'll be relieved."

She originally thought that if Ling Ling was honest, she would treat him sincerely, but who would have thought that she would actually agree to Ling Qingyan's words.

But thinking about it, how can a person with the Phoenix Life be honest?

Ling Youyao looked away, "Let's go."

Standing in the jewelry shop, Ling Ling watched the carriage slowly drive out of the busy street from a distance, feeling hatred growing in her heart.

Su Lingxi on the side saw her lost in thought, so she came over and asked: "A Ling, what's wrong with you? Is there anyone over there?"

"No, it's nothing." Ling Ling came back to her senses and smiled guiltily, "Do you have any jewelry that you like?"

Su Lingxi understood in her heart, but did not ask again. She smiled softly and said: "Although the jewelry here is good, it is still not as good as the ones my aunt gave me. After thinking about it, I still don't buy it."

Hearing this, Ling Ling felt a trace of envy in his heart.

It was only when she checked into the Duke Yu's Mansion yesterday that she found out that the current Queen Mother came from the Duke Yu's Mansion, and Su Lingxi was the Queen Mother's biological niece and His Majesty's cousin.

With such a noble and distinguished family background, it would be great if all of this could be hers.

"A-Ling, what are you thinking about?" Su Lingxi stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

Ling Ling suddenly woke up. Looking at Su Lingxi's flowery face, her eyes darkened and she said, "Since you didn't choose, let's go back."

Su Lingxi thought she was angry about Ling Youyao. When she lowered her eyes, she caught a glimpse of a gold flower-wrapped hairpin in her hand.

"A-Ling, do you like this hairpin?"

Hearing this, Ling Ling spread his hands and found that the hairpin was embedded in the palm of his hand because of too much force, leaving a deep mark.

She twitched the corners of her lips and uttered two words coldly: "I like it."

What I like is not only this hairpin, but also other things, such as the status of the young lady of the Yuguo Palace, and the Qingcheng's beauty.

Su Lingxi didn't know what Ling Ling was thinking, and said: "Since A Ling likes it, I will give it to you. It is a meeting gift for you."

Her generosity did not cause any disturbance in Ling Ling's heart. After all, the meeting gift given by Ling Youyao was a set of ruby ​​heads and faces.

Although Ling Ling disliked Su Lingxi's stinginess, he still expressed his gratitude to her. After all, he was still living in the Yuguo Duke's mansion, so it would be hard to break up with her.

Su Lingxi thought that being so generous was a great favor to someone like Ling Ling, who came from a small family. Little did she know that the other party had given her the title of "stingy" in her heart.

After shopping, the two held hands and continued shopping.

Su Lingxi suddenly remembered something and said to Ling Ling: "A Ling, your Majesty will leave for autumn hunting in the north tomorrow, and I will go there then."

Ling Ling was startled, Su Lingxi left, where would she live?

Seeing this, Su Lingxi continued: "You don't have to worry, I have already agreed with my father to let you go to the floating paddock with us."

Her purpose was to let Ling Ling go to the Futai Paddock, because Ling Youyao would also go.

Hearing these words, the gloom lingering in Ling Ling's brows was swept away, and he immediately agreed.

She had heard of the Autumn Hunt - an event that only the royal family and aristocratic families could participate in. Although she did not have a good background, she could still participate in the Autumn Hunt.

Thinking of this, Ling Ling couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing her like this, Su Lingxi also laughed.

False sisters, all of them have eight hundred tricks, let’s see who wins in the end.
