Chapter 297: Not to exorcise evil, but to recruit evil
"It's hard to get a lot of money, I think it's a waste of money." Shi Cui muttered, dissatisfied visible to the naked eye.
Five hundred taels of silver!
It’s enough for Ahu and Abao to marry several wives!
When the boss saw Yu Atu dressed in jewels, he thought he had come to a big business, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even afford five hundred taels of silver, so his face turned ugly, "Then are you here to buy something?"
"Who says it's not?" Yu Atu said quickly: "I want these bracelets, wrap them up for me right away."
"Usagi!" Shi Cui wanted to stop it, but Shi Chunquin stopped her with his hand, "It's okay, Auntie, Usagi can afford it now."
She gave Shi Cui a calming look, and then Shi Cui's hands dropped.
Yes, how could she forget that her daughter is already the fourth mistress of the Chu family, and it is no longer her turn to take care of her.
Perhaps because she was angry that Shicui didn't give her face in front of outsiders just now, Yu Atu ignored the two of them and continued to look at other jewelry in the shop. The boss also saw that she was the only one here for consumption, and immediately became enthusiastic
He followed behind her and introduced her.
Taking this opportunity, Shi Chunfen pulled Shi Cui aside and comforted: "Young mistress of the Chu family needs some clothes when she goes out. Utu has money every month, and the fourth master will also subsidize her, so it is more than enough to buy these things."
, you don’t need to worry about her.”
Hearing her say this, Shi Cui felt relieved, but she could not hide the bitterness on her face, "I am used to living in poverty, and suddenly I see my daughter spending so much money, I am always worried that she will be punished by God."
"No." Shi Chunquin comforted: "Not only Usagi, but you and your two cousins will also have better days in the future."
They were whispering here, but Yu Atu had been invited into the back room by the owner of the jade shop to see more expensive jewelry. While no one outside could see them, the smile on Yu Atu's face faded.
, said to the boss: "It was the second master of the Chu family who asked me to come here."
The boss was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly and immediately pulled her further in. "Brother Chu asked me to tell you that he has chosen a shop in Shuzhou. You must let Grandma buy it."
Then, he took out a map of a shop from the cabinet in the back room and quickly put it into Yu Atu's hand.
Yu Atu didn't even have time to look at it, so he rolled up the map in a hurry, hid it in his sleeve, and said coldly: "What's wrong with that shop? No one will be killed, right?"
The boss shrugged, "I don't know about that, I'm just being entrusted by others."
Yu Atu's eyes darkened and he said nothing.
The two didn't chat for too long and walked out quickly. At this time, Shi Cui had been coaxed by Shi Chunquin, and her eyes looking at Yu Atu became much softer, "How is it? What kind of jewelry did you like?"
Yu Atu was deliberately trying to make Shi Cui angry so that he would not notice the conversation between her and her boss. It was not that he really didn't care about Shi Cui's feelings. Now that he saw her taking the initiative to show her kindness to him, he felt sour in his heart.
, immediately greeted him, "I have taken a fancy to a jade pendant that can protect your health and safety. You must accept it."
Shi Cui instinctively wanted to refuse, but when she saw Yu Atu's pleading eyes, she finally swallowed her words, "Okay, it's rare for you to be filial, how can I not accept it?"
Seeing that mother and daughter were reconciled as before, Shi Chunfen smiled happily and finally went shopping leisurely in a shop.
In fact, jade shops all over the place have these same things. What you can see here is basically all in Liuzhou, except for a jade lion that quickly attracted her attention.
"Does Grandma like this jade lion?" The boss came over at some point and asked Shi Chunquin.
Shi Chunquin was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled at him, "Yes, it's rare to see such a big jade lion."
"If you like it, the store can sell it to you at a cheaper price," the boss said enthusiastically.
Shi Chunfen glanced at the lion again and quickly shook his head, "No, it's not convenient to carry such a big lion on the road. Besides, there's no place to put it at home."
Jade lions like this are usually placed in shops to ward off evil spirits and suppress ghosts. However, her Jiuku Tea House has not made much money in total, so it is really a waste to spend such a huge price to buy a jade lion and put it there.
"No way?" The boss laughed, "Are you Chu family still worried that there will be no place to display it?"
Shi Chunquin was stunned again and looked at him thoughtfully.
The boss realized that he had made a mistake and quickly said: "What you four young ladies told me just now is that your Chu family is a big family in Liuzhou."
At first, Vernal Equinox didn't think much about it, but when he heard his cryptic explanation, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, "Really?"
Yu Atu noticed something was wrong here, and quickly pulled Shi Cui over, "What's wrong, cousin, what did you also fancy?"
Shi Chunfen came back to his senses, pointed at the jade lion he had just looked at, and said with a smile: "Nothing, I just thought this jade lion was interesting, so I took a few more glances."
Yu Ah hadn't noticed it just now, but now that Shi Chunquin mentioned it, he found the lion very interesting, "Yeah, how come there is such a big jade lion?"
The boss wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "This is the specialty of the shop. If you two like it, why not buy it back and put it on display?"
"No." Shi Chunfen refused again, "Wearing a small jade stone can ward off evil spirits and keep you safe. If you buy a large jade stone casually, it may not ward off evil spirits, but attract evil spirits."
These words made the boss sweatdrop on his back. He glanced at Yu Atu subconsciously, but saw that the other party didn't respond at all, and he felt even more annoyed.
If something bad happens because of his talkativeness, I wonder if Brother Chu will blame him?
Yu Atu didn't notice the boss's hint, but Shi Chunquin saw it clearly. A person who has never been very smart seemed to see through many things at once this time.
The three of them stayed at the jade shop for a while, and finally Yu Atu bought a jade pendant and a pair of jade bracelets. When Shi Chunquin randomly picked a bracelet, they returned to the inn together.
Originally, Spring Equinox thought that Yu Atu would hang around for a while, but she didn't expect that she quickly took them back to the inn on the pretext that she was not familiar with the place and was not safe outside.
The more she behaves like this, the heavier Shi Chun Equinox feels.
When Yu Atu and Shi Cui returned to their rooms, and Shi Chunquin also returned to her room, Li Yan couldn't help but said: "Grandma, Fourth Grandma seems to be acting weird?"
What even she could see, how could Shi Chunquin not see it? She lowered her face and said calmly: "Send someone to go to that jade shop to check and see if the owner of that shop has any dealings with Usagi."
Li Yan nodded quickly, "Yes, grandma."
After Li Yan left, Shi Chunfen sat alone in the room, pulling his lips in a self-deprecating tone.
She thought Yu Atu had really changed her gender and wanted to reconcile with her, but in the end it was another conspiracy.
This cousin of hers really never has a moment to spare!
