Chapter 400: Refusing to Give in
Qiao Xuan did not mention that they had met each other, let alone Le Zhengxiao.
"Excuse me, miss. We are not two people. We just came here to reserve a place. It's not easy for us to come here from other places. We just want to try the flavor of Yanchilou. Miss, you have a local accent. Why don't you come again next time?"
Le Zhengting is not a person with a good temper, but when she is outside and with her best friends around, she always has to behave gracefully, elegantly and politely.
She thought she had been kind and polite enough, speaking in a nice way and was willing to compensate, but this person actually refused!
In front of her girlfriends, Le Zhengting felt embarrassed, so she smiled kindly and said, "Young Madam, we really want to try the delicacies of Yanchilou today. How about this, I compensate you with three taels of silver? Three taels of silver is more than enough to have a good meal at another restaurant. Is this okay?"
Le Zhengting was very depressed. For her, three taels of silver was not a small amount. It was enough for her to buy a lot of candied fruits.
However, Qiao Xuan looked down on her.
If you really want to throw money at someone, you should at least give 10 or 20 taels, right? Is one or three taels just a joke?
Could it be that she couldn't read the three big words "Yanchilou" clearly? If someone could book a private room at Yanchilou, would they care about one or three taels of silver?
Since you are reluctant to throw money at someone, don't act like that. She feels embarrassed for her.
If Le Zhengting had a good relationship with Le Zhengxiao, Qiao Xuan might have given in at the beginning, but Le Zhengxiao did not have a good relationship with her, so Qiao Xuan would certainly not be polite.
"Excuse me Miss, why don't you discuss this with other customers?"
Le Zhengting was furious, and her maid Jiang'er frowned, "Hey, don't be so greedy! My lady is willing to negotiate with you in a friendly way, and she has also generously compensated you, what else do you want?"
Qiao Xuan glanced at her, smiled slightly, and said politely: "I just want to have a quiet meal."
"you!"
The girl wearing a rose-red embroidered skirt and jacket covered her mouth and laughed out loud, glancing at Le Zhengting: "Sister Ting, it seems that you are not generous enough. This amount is too stingy. Your family is so rich, is it possible that you can't afford it?"
Naturally, Le Zheng's family would come up with the money, so, unless she didn't really want to treat everyone, she did it on purpose.
Le Zhengting glared at the girl secretly, then looked at Qiao Xuan, her expression was not so good, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll give you ten taels of silver, you can go to another place!"
Qiao Xuan said directly to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, I'll go up first. When my husband and brother-in-law come and ask about it, please let them know."
After saying that, Qiao Xuan took Shao Taotao and left.
Le Zhengting's face suddenly turned red, she felt embarrassed and angry.
The other girl in a violet dress frowned slightly and said calmly, "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Let's make an appointment next time."
After the girl finished speaking, she turned around and walked out without waiting for Le Zhengting to speak again. The girl in the rose-red skirt and jacket hurriedly followed her.
Le Zhengting's face turned red and white, and she was extremely embarrassed and angry.
The one in the violet dress was Xie Ruifang, the third daughter of the Xie family. Le Zhengting happened to see Xie Ruifang and her cousin He Zhiqing in an embroidery workshop, so she went up to them to flatter them. Someone was discussing the dishes of Yanchilou and praising them highly, so she took the opportunity to warmly invite them to have dinner at Yanchilou together.
