Lin Yueyi's cheerfulness made Bai Wanrou laugh uncontrollably, which made her a little confused. She didn't understand why Bai Wanrou could still laugh so happily when he was clearly serving her.
"Miss Lin, do you think this tiara suits you very well?"
Her words brought back Lin Yueyi's thoughts. With a casual glance, she saw the shining crystal headdress placed on the container.
Bai Wanrou had never had a close relationship with her before, so she only mentioned this object because it was really beautiful. Little did she know that Lin Yueyi usually liked crystal jewelry the most.
She paused in her steps and stared blankly at the headdress, making Bai Wanrou a little at a loss.
At first she thought it was because her eyesight had declined and she didn't like the things she liked, until Lin Yueyi spoke:
"Shopkeeper, how many of these headwear do you have in your store? I want them all."
Hearing this, the girl following her immediately tugged at the corner of her clothes anxiously, "No, miss, the money the master gave us is not enough to buy so much."
At that time, the shopkeeper who hurried over had a bright smile on his face, but his behavior did not appear greedy, but very graceful.
"I'm just busy below, and I haven't realized that Miss Lin is already here. Is this the headdress you're talking about?"
The shopkeeper pointed at the fiery crystal headdress for sale with a questioning look in his eyes, which made Lin Yueyi feel a little embarrassed.
She subconsciously shook the money bag she carried with her, feeling the light weight inside, and began to retreat.
Before she could figure out how to politely reject the arrogance she just said, she heard the shopkeeper say at the right time:
"We have sold a lot of this kind of headwear in our shop, and there are only a few two left in the warehouse."
These words were like Lin Yueyi's savior. Her eyes suddenly lit up for a moment, and without any hesitation, she said decisively: "Okay, then wrap these two together with the one I just fell in love with."
It was just a tiara. No matter how expensive it was, it only cost more than a dozen taels of silver. She didn't believe she could afford it.
"Okay, Miss Lin, the things you bought total thirty-five taels. I'll order someone to wrap them up for you."
Almost at the same moment when the shopkeeper said these words, the girl immediately turned pale. She helped count the young lady’s money and brought it out. It was only forty taels in total. They had just come here eating, drinking and shopping, and now they were probably just
There are less than thirty taels left.
As expected, Lin Yueyi handed the money bag directly with a wave of her hand. What was waiting for her was not the items she had just bought, but what the shopkeeper said with a frown after counting them:
"Miss Lin, you only have twenty-eight taels of silver here. The remaining seven taels of silver...?"
As if doubting the authenticity of what he said, Lin Yueyi scolded sternly: "How is that possible? You must have counted wrong."
In desperation, the shopkeeper could only count the silver in front of her again, and finally spread his hands on the table, as if to say: Look, there is indeed only this much.
At the same time, Lin Yueyi's palms tightened. She was born in a noble family. Although she was not as good as those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, she was also proud and aloof.
In addition, her father has always been a pampered person, so she has never been in a situation where she didn't have enough money to buy something.
So when the shopkeeper asked tentatively: "How about I return one of the tiaras you bought? Only one of these small accessories is enough." She resolutely refused.
"I'll take the things back first. I'll let my girl bring you the money someday. You can just write it down in your account."
The shopkeeper didn't look down on her because of her behavior, he just pursed his lips and said, "Miss Lin, we are doing a small business and we do not accept credit."
Qingtang on the side heard this and looked up at the shopkeeper, unable to help but admire his courage.
You must know that Lin Yueyi is famous for her willfulness. Let alone rejecting her, any shopkeeper in the capital who dares to disobey her will tremble for a long time. He actually insults her face with such righteous words.
"Why, are you doubting what I said? What do you mean?"
This was probably the first time the shopkeeper had encountered this kind of situation. Although she had received Lin Yueyi several times before, she always turned around and left after shopping. When had she ever found trouble like this?
He didn't know what to say, and some of the guests who were coming and going couldn't help but stare at him. Some of them would point at them and say, "Look, Miss Lin is torturing people again."
But the voice of the discussion was also very low, lest Lin Yueyi would hear it, and after finishing speaking, he would deliberately walk faster, for fear that he would become the next victim.
At this time, Bai Wanrou stepped forward to break the deadlock. She took out seven taels of silver from her purse and placed it on the shopkeeper's table.
"I paid this money for Miss Lin, so you don't have to bear any burden. I don't take these small sums of money seriously, and you don't need to repay them in the future."
The last words were said to Lin Yueyi, and after saying that, she took Qingtang and left.
Lin Yueyi didn't react until the moment Qingtang couldn't help but smile and disappeared into the shop.
What does Bai Wanrou mean by this? Are you giving her alms? Or are you using this method to find a rare sense of superiority in her?
Lin Yueyi was very angry. She didn't think Bai Wanrou was doing it for her own good, she just thought it was probably to take revenge on her for calling her that way.
The girl behind her knows that she doesn't like gifts from others, so she will ask timidly in a low voice: "Miss, can we take these things back?"
In response to her, Lin Yueyi's voice suddenly became louder, "Take it! Why don't you take it? This is what belongs to me!"
"Hurry and get it and leave. How long do you want to stay here?"
After scolding her, she walked out without looking back. Perhaps she was still angry about what happened just now. The girl didn't dare to complain at all. She picked up the bag dejectedly, thanked the shopkeeper, and hurried out.
After they left, the shopkeeper stroked the fine sweat on his forehead and secretly decided to repay the favor to the princess in the future, and then turned to greet other guests.
"Miss, we bought a lot of things today. I know I'm afraid I'm going to be angry."
Knowing that Lin Yueyi was angry at this moment, but she was about to arrive at the house in a blink of an eye, the girl didn't know how to deal with the master, so she could only bravely ask her.
Lin Yueyi got angry as expected and seemed to look down on her timidity. She just scolded: "My father treats me very well. What are you worrying about?"
But then her hurried steps slowed down, she thought carefully about everything that had just happened in the shop, and then vigorously snatched the bag from the girl's hand and took a look.
So that's the case, no wonder Bai Wanrou and the person behind her kept laughing at her. They had planned it in advance!
Based on her promise to choose something for herself, he recommended some products that were not useful to her, causing her to spend so much money.
"You cunning and insidious villain, just wait for me. One day I will make you pay for what you have done today!"
Bai Wanrou was walking on the way back home calmly, but she sneezed inexplicably because of her words.
"Miss, are you okay? The temperature has been getting cooler recently, so you should take good care of yourself."
Qingtang on the side was the first to care about her. Before Bai Wanrou could recover, she continued to say enthusiastically:
"But Miss, you are so awesome! You actually made Miss Lin buy so many things without knowing it."
"And when we finally left, she looked almost furious. She probably didn't like that you paid for her."
She laughed while talking, and walking with Bai Wanrou didn't look like a master and servant at all, but rather like two sisters.
Bai Wanrou originally planned to make Lin Yueyi spend money. When she heard what she said, she did not deny it, but just smiled softly.
"I just can't stand her being so arrogant. You don't need to be so exaggerated."
Qingtang usually praises Bai Wanrou the most, and she will admire her no matter what she does.
Originally, Bai Wanrou was used to it, but this was on the street, and it would not be good for someone to listen to her. She had to show off no matter what.
"It's a pity that Miss came here in vain. We didn't buy anything. We suffered a big loss this time."
Bai Wanrou disagreed with this. She shook her head calmly, not as regretful as Qingtang. She stretched out her hand to bring her closer, and then whispered:
"Your lady, I didn't plan to buy anything originally, but now that I have an idea of what I want to do, that's enough."
Qingtang went out for a walk and had already forgotten about opening a store. Now she had confusion written all over her face.
She wanted to continue asking Bai Wanrou about the incident, but seeing that she had turned her head and walked leisurely, she gave up her thoughts.
After returning to the palace, Qingtang could no longer hold back her thoughts and hurriedly chased Bai Wanrou and asked:
"Miss, what are you talking about just now? Why don't I know?"
Bai Wanrou had already guessed that this quirky girl like her would ask this question, so she raised her eyebrows in understanding, took her back to the room, closed the door, and talked to the two of them about her plans.
"Didn't I say that I planned to open a full-category store? I went shopping today and already have a plan in mind. You two come to discuss it with me."
Bai Wanrou pulled out a piece of rice paper from the desk, dipped the brush in some ink, and wrote on the paper neatly, stroke by stroke.
After she finished writing, she handed the paper to Luzhu and Qingtang to see. They were both stunned.
Among them, Luzhu had the biggest reaction. He even couldn't help but ask: "Miss, are you really serious this time?"
Her question made Bai Wanrou laugh out loud, and she tapped her forehead with her fingers, "What do you mean by that? Do you think your lady doesn't have the talent to open a shop?"
Lu Zhu's head shook. She claimed to know Bai Wanrou better. She usually didn't treat things with enthusiasm for three minutes, but she did forget them in the blink of an eye, and she rarely took what she said seriously.
It was precisely because of this that she didn't take this suggestion seriously when she first made it. She just thought it was a whim of the young lady, but she never expected that she really had this intention.
She turned her head and looked at the content on the rice paper carefully. Perhaps because of the tight time, she didn't write much, but it was clear enough.
"By the way, I still need some sample clothes as a template. Qingtang, would you like to find some of the prince's clothes for me?" This chapter has been completed!
