Chapter 934 One Day
This kind of thing is actually not uncommon.
Who of the ladies and sons of the rich and powerful families would go shopping with a lot of banknotes? They would just take whatever they liked, sign the bill and ask the shopkeeper to go to their house to ask the accountant to withdraw it.
But there is also a prerequisite, that is, such people must be regular customers, or they must be truly wealthy and aristocratic families that are well-known in the capital.
Moreover, the cost is not low. At least several hundred taels of silver are needed, and some even cost thousands or tens of thousands.
First, Qiao Hongxi was not a regular customer. Second, the Qiao family was unknown. Most importantly, third, he asked someone to come to his house to withdraw thirty-eight taels of silver? ?
How dare you!
West Sixth Street is not close to here.
The shopkeeper frowned slightly, and was a little reluctant. He smiled and said, "Well, I'm sorry, sir. We are a small business and we don't accept credit. And I am the only one in the shop. I have to watch the shop here. I really can't come to withdraw money. How about you come next time?"
The shopkeeper's words were already giving face to Qiao Hongxi.
It can be considered as giving him a way out.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan didn't say anything else. They just stood aside. Their gloating expressions made Qiao Hongxi feel extremely ashamed and angry.
But what can he do? He is short of money.
He gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind to spend an extra thirty-eight taels of silver to buy the jade pendant even if he had to endure being scolded. However, the other party refused to let him buy on credit.
Isn't it because you look down on him because he is poor?
If he had money, if the Qiao family still had a title, if the Qiao family was still the truly wealthy and powerful family it once was, how could the shopkeeper dare to treat him like this? How dare this couple who appeared out of nowhere to mock and tease him like this?
One day, one day he will regain the good old days, make the Qiao family even more glorious, and trample those who once bullied him under his feet!
"Okay. Then, next time."
Qiao Hongxi pretended to be calm, but he was actually very embarrassed and angry. After he said these few words stiffly, his face was already burning.
He hurriedly put down the jade pendant, lowered his head and fled the shop in embarrassment.
How could he have the heart to continue shopping? He went home in a depressed mood.
Unexpectedly, he was bumped by someone again and fell to the ground. Before he could get angry and ask questions, the other person glared at him and scolded him: "What's wrong with you? You walk without watching. It's really unlucky!"
After scolding him, he said "Pooh!" at him and walked away.
Qiao Hongxi got up from the ground with a belly full of anger. This world is really dog-eyed and looks down on people! I don't know which family this cunning slave is from. He is just a servant. Didn't he see that he is dressed like a scholar? How dare he be so rude to him!
Having no money and no power, yet being looked down upon like this!
What bad luck!
Qiao Hongxi once again cursed himself in his heart for not checking the almanac before going out today.
Qiao Hongxi was pissed off and left. Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan did not buy the jade pendant, which Qiao Hongxi had taken, and Qiao Xuan despised it. But she readily bought the jade rabbit pounding medicine ornament.
The shopkeeper was very impressed by their quick action, and greeted them with a smile and saw them off warmly.
Walking out of the store, the two smiled at each other.
Especially Qiao Xuan, her heart was filled with joy.
In the original owner's vague impression, this eldest brother was as cold and ruthless as his scumbag father. Every time he saw the original owner, he looked at her as if she were a pile of garbage.
Even when he saw maids and servants bullying her, he turned a blind eye and walked by.
