Chapter 255 Confidence
Zhang Juexia's original intention was to stroll around the town first and then go look at the jewelry.
Shopkeeper Yao insisted on looking at jewelry first. "The town is so small, what's there to see? Let's go and see if there's any nice jewelry. If you like it, buy it. Then we can go drink and forget our worries."
Without waiting for Zhang Juexia to express her opinion, Manager Yao forcibly dragged her out.
There is only one jewelry shop in the town, and its name is Li Ji Silver Shop.
Seeing the name, Zhang Juexia asked Shopkeeper Yao, "This should be the Li family's property, right?"
"Yeah, other people can't afford this either! Come on, let's go in and take a look."
The clerk at the door recognized Shopkeeper Yao and greeted him with a smile from afar. "Shopkeeper Yao, you haven't been here for a long time. We have a lot of new goodies in our shop. Please come in and take a look!"
The waiter welcomed them into the private room and served them tea. Then he looked at Zhang Juexia and asked, "Who is this distinguished guest?"
"Have you heard of Shengxia Embroidery Shop? She's the owner."
The waiter's smile widened. "You two have some tea first. I'll bring the food in for you. Take your time choosing."
Zhang Juexia casually picked up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth. "With this kind of treatment, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this door unless I bleed a little."
"Money is earned to be spent. As someone who has been through this, I'm telling you, don't get carried away. Women, don't treat yourself badly."
Shopkeeper Yao talked incessantly and gave Zhang Juexia a lot of reasons, leaving Zhang Juexia no room to retort.
The waiter brought the items in, and Manager Yao pulled Zhang Juexia to start choosing.
She would try every look, and if she liked any, she would have the boy pack it.
Zhang Juexia always felt that something was wrong with her, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
The young man was laughing so hard that his teeth were showing.
Seeing how enthusiastically Manager Yao was selecting, Zhang Juexia's love for beauty was also aroused. She picked out a few items that she liked and tried them on in front of the mirror.
Shopkeeper Yao would turn around and give instructions from time to time, "This one is good, keep it! This one is also good, keep it too!"
The boy couldn't close his mouth anymore.
"What's wrong with me taking it away? Isn't the shop owned by someone named Li? As long as the owner is named Li, I have the right to take it away."
"Listen to me, we are also following the rules. This has never happened since we opened our shop."
"Then I'll set this precedent."
"We can't break the rules here for you. Please don't make things difficult for us, okay? We won't be able to explain ourselves later!"
"I'll just tell the master about this, okay?"
"you......"
Shopkeeper Yao impatiently took off the bracelet on his hand and said, "What's going on? Why is there so much noise outside? Are you going to let me try on the things?"
The waiter immediately bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go out and take a look."
Zhang Juexia was very interested and wanted to go out and watch the fun. Manager Yao curled his lips and said, "It's just that he has no money but still wants to wear gold and silver.
From what I hear, the shopkeeper probably won't allow it, so there's a commotion going on."
Zhang Juexia couldn't help but give Shopkeeper Yao a thumbs-up, "You know quite a lot!"
"Hey, I hang out in town every day. Even though I don't want to interact with these people, it doesn't mean I don't understand their thoughts."
The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and it felt like a fight was about to break out.
The waiter was still not in. Shopkeeper Yao glanced at Zhang Juexia's restless eyes and put the things on the tray. "Let's go out and take a look."
A lot of people had gathered outside to watch the excitement. Several wealthy ladies were whispering to each other, "The Li family is not poor. They don't even have money to buy jewelry for their concubines!"
"That shouldn't be the case. Qian Yulin isn't that stingy. I think this concubine seems to be here to ask for money. Look at the things she chose. They are all real gold and silver items."
If you get tired of carrying this kind of stuff around one day, you can just take it out and exchange it for silver, and it will become your own private money."
Zhang Juexia lifted his foot and looked towards the door. He stumbled forward without noticing and rushed into the middle of the crowd. "Who is so blind as to dare to jump on our concubine?"
After Zhang Juexia stood firm, he was completely stunned.
"Zhang Juexia, you're such a jerk! Why don't you just watch me openly? Why are you hiding in the crowd? Are you so ashamed of yourself?"
"Zhang Qiuye?"
"It's me, what's wrong? Do you find it particularly satisfying to see me lose face?"
Zhang Juexia looked at Zhang Qiuye, who had gained a lot of weight compared to last year. Even though her face was covered with a layer of white powder that looked like flour, it couldn't hide the dark circles under her eyes.
Originally, Zhang Qiuye had lost her child, and Zhang Juexia felt a little sorry for her, but when she heard Zhang Qiuye's sharp voice,
She withdrew her sympathy and said, "It's really enjoyable. If you don't have money, don't buy anything. You don't feel ashamed when you are left here and treated like this. You can see how thick-skinned you are."
Chuncao, the maidservant beside Zhang Qiuye, looked at Zhang Juexia unwillingly and said, "This is our eighth concubine. This shop originally belonged to the Li family. We are taking our own things. How does it bother you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the ladies who were watching the fun couldn't help laughing.
"It's certainly not a problem for me, but why did the shopkeeper stop you? Haven't you ever thought about why?
Oh, I forgot, your Eighth Concubine has always been a brainless person, so it seems that the maid is like the master."
Zhang Qiuye pulled Chuncao aside and said, "Zhang Juexia, I know you have a sharp tongue and we are no match for you.
But Chuncao is right, this shop is indeed our family property. I can take the things inside, but you can't."
"I didn't intend to take it away without paying!"
Shopkeeper Yao stepped forward and took Zhang Juexia's arm, "Why get angry with such a person? Let's go inside and choose some jewelry.
Today we have to show someone that we can afford any piece of jewelry we want here.
Just pay the money and leave.
It’s not like some people who shout that this is their family property, but are stopped at the door.
Anyone can satisfy their desire to talk, but only they know whether they have money in their pockets. "
Zhang Qiuye was so angry that tears welled up in his eyes. He wanted to refute but every word Manager Yao said was true. He could only turn around and ask, "Did someone send someone to inform the master?"
Chuncao nodded.
"Oh, that's quite lively. I want to see who can take away the jewelry here today."
Shopkeeper Yao pulled Zhang Juexia into the private room and continued to try on the jewelry.
The young man ran in and said nice things, fearing that he would offend the two Gods of Wealth.
