Chapter 174 Concubine
She strode to Nan Zhen's right side, but sadly found that she was half a head shorter than her and could not regain her momentum, so she chose to step back half a step and glared at her.
Nan Zhen's back was straight, unmoving, her face was cold and beautiful, her eyes were lowered as she stared at Qiao Ling as she skillfully wrapped up the jewelry.
The red lips parted lightly, with undisguised sarcasm, "It's not that I'm deaf, it's that someone is blind, confusing right and wrong, and doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. It seems quite reasonable?"
Just by looking at Shi Jian from the side, you can't see her complete expression, and you can see her inaccessible appearance.
It seems that such a person never bothers to compete with others, but if the things in her hands are really touched, she will not give in.
Shi Jian frowned and took a closer look at Nan Zhen's face and clothes. Although her temperament could not be cultivated by a small family in the city, she really didn't know which young lady from a noble family in the capital she was.
She arrived in Beijing three months ago, and the first thing she did when she got here was to remember the daughters of all the families in Beijing, especially those with higher official positions than her brothers, so as not to accidentally offend others when she went out.
After all, if a plaque falls anywhere here, the person it hits might be a member of the royal family.
She saw that Nan Zhen had an outstanding face and straightforward speech. She was not at all gentle and elegant like those young ladies from wealthy families, so she had some guesses in her mind.
Could this be a beautiful concubine taken by some master?
Shi Jian looked back at her maid and saw that she seemed to agree with her conjecture, so she became bolder and said, "I'll pay double the price of these hairpins."
Although Qiao Ling was quite dissatisfied, but the other party was a guest, she still responded politely, "Miss Shi, this is not a matter of more money or less money. Our Ruyi Pavilion's business rules have always been like this, and everyone knows this."
.”
If everyone was like her, there would be no need to open Ruyi Pavilion.
Although what he said makes sense, how can a person who is angry give up?
Wouldn't it be very shameful to stop all activities at this time?
Seeing Qiaoling handing the wrapped box to Dongyue, Shi Jian reached out to grab it without even thinking about it. Dongyue subconsciously protected her and stepped back.
Shi Jian didn't succeed and wanted to step forward. Nan Zhen stretched out a leg at the right time and placed it at her feet. In her haste to move, she didn't even notice the tangle underneath, and she stumbled over, causing her to fall in front of everyone.
Chew mud.
Her palms were so delicate that a thin layer of skin fell off when rubbed against the ground. The pain made her silent for a moment.
Seeing this, the maid quickly helped her up and yelled at Nan Zhen, "How dare you, which mansion do you belong to? You actually attacked my young lady. Are you bullying us, who are new here and don't have a deep foundation in the capital?"
Shi Jian was used to making strong arguments, but her maid was even better. With just a few words, she was the first to put the hat on her head.
Dongyue rushed forward and stood in front of Nan Zhen. She raised her arms as if to protect a calf, "It was obviously you who made the move first, why did you beat me up?"
"But the one who is injured now is my young lady, and yours is still standing here properly!"
Dongyue raised her chin and snorted from her nostrils, "If my mother-in-law is injured, your young lady won't even be able to stand here."
She also knows a little bit about the Shi family.
Three generations of businessmen have accumulated a lot of wealth. In this generation, there is only one young lady and young master, so Shi Jian is so generous in his actions.
The Shi family is quite good at business, but none of their children are good at studying. Only Shi Jian's brother, who is in his late twenties, finally passed the exam this year.
