Chapter 473 Future Concubine
"Miss Feng." When Shopkeeper Feng saw the pink-dressed woman in front of him, he stepped forward and greeted her warmly, "It's been a long time since we last met. Miss Feng is becoming more and more beautiful. Please take a seat, Miss Feng."
Shopkeeper Feng's eyes narrowed from laughing, and he swept the chair with a flick of his sleeve.
"Shopkeeper Feng, my daughter has taken a fancy to that gold bracelet inlaid with jadeite." The maid beside Feng Yan spoke, her eyes fixed on the gold bracelet inlaid with jadeite in Xiao Jiuyue's hand.
"This..." Shopkeeper Feng walked towards Xiao Jiuyue awkwardly. As they got closer, she whispered, "She's Miss Feng Yan. She's going to be married to the Second Prince as a concubine at the end of the year. I'm really sorry for her. How about we look at something else? I'll give her a better deal later."
Shopkeeper Feng's voice was gentle and his eyes were full of apology. He first pointed out Feng Yan's identity, then apologized and gave her a discount. This whole set of actions was smooth and made people feel comfortable and respected.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the bracelet in her hand. Although gold bracelets inlaid with jadeite were rare, they were not precious treasures.
"Come here, quickly bring some other bracelets for this girl to see." Shopkeeper Feng gave the order while holding a tray, waiting for Xiao Jiuyue to put the bracelet in her hand on the tray.
"Girl, only you are worthy of such a beautiful bracelet. You have fair hands, and it will look good on you." Yu Xin looked at Feng Yan flatteringly.
"Of course, it's better than some country folk moving to the city." Feng Yan said this with a hint of meaning. She glanced at Xiao Jiuyue. Such a beautiful face, but a stranger. Perhaps she was the daughter of a minor official who had just arrived in Beijing? Or perhaps she was just a young lady from a merchant family.
She has a vixen-like face, so she'd better be too scared to go out. Otherwise, if the Second Prince sees her...
"The young lady is about to become the prince's concubine. How can ordinary people compare to her?" When Yu Xin mentioned the 'prince's concubine', there was pride in her words. As the young lady's personal maid, she might even be able to serve the second prince in the future!
"Yuxin, don't be rude." Feng Yan pretended to scold.
Yu Xin said innocently, "Miss, I'm telling the truth."
Listening to the master and servant's words, Xiao Jiuyue, who was about to put the bracelet down, said directly: "Shopkeeper Feng, I buy this bracelet."
When Xiao Jiuyue's clear voice sounded, Shopkeeper Feng was so shocked that the smile on his face froze, and he didn't know how to react for a moment!
Yu Xin rushed forward, reached out to take the bracelet and said, "Wait a minute, this bracelet is what my daughter likes."
Luo Kui stepped forward and stopped Yu Xin. Having trained with Jin Wen and the others for many years, Luo Kui had no problem dealing with ordinary men. When she stopped Wu Xin, she deliberately used a little force, and Yu Xin fell back, staggered a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.
"Ouch." Yu Xin covered her hurt shoulder, her face changed with anger. Ever since the young lady was married to the second prince by imperial decree, most of the people Yu Xin met wanted to please Feng Yan.
"You, you, where are you from? You don't even recognize my daughter?" Yu Xin was so angry that she couldn't even speak. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "My daughter has taken a fancy to this bracelet."
"My daughter saw it first, liked it, and wanted to buy it. Why can't I do that?" Luo Kui, never one to back down in an argument, straightened her chest and said, "First come, first served... My daughter saw it first, bought it first. If your daughter wants it, she can go find the shopkeeper."
Luo Kui originally wanted to say, first come, first served, do you understand the rules? But later, he swallowed the words "do you understand the rules?"
"Shopkeeper Feng, I want to buy that bracelet." Feng Yan pursed her lips and spoke, making it clear that she wanted to snatch it from Xiao Jiuyue.
"Look, ladies! I have a lot of new bracelets here. I don't have gold bracelets inlaid with jade, but I do have bracelets inlaid with gemstones. Would you like to take a look?"
As Shopkeeper Feng spoke, he winked at his servants, and soon all the latest models of bracelets arrived, inlaid with gemstones, in various colors, and carved and hollowed gold bracelets, all kinds of them.
"Look, ladies! These ones inlaid with gemstones are also very beautiful." Shopkeeper Feng signaled his servants to come forward, and one exquisite bracelet after another appeared in front of Feng Yan and Xiao Jiuyue.
"Luo Kui, pay the bill." Xiao Jiuyue stood up, too lazy to say anything more. She just remembered that the emperor's imperial decree wanted to grant the third prince a marriage with the person in front of her, Feng Yan.
Jun Lie doesn't want to marry Feng Yan, and I heard that Feng Yan doesn't want to marry either. It seems that Feng Yan wants to marry the second prince!
Yes, the second prince's mother is the Imperial Noble Consort, who is in charge of the six palaces. The second prince's mother's family is prominent. There is a rumor in Shengjing that the second prince may be the one to overthrow the crown prince and ascend to the throne.
As for the third prince, no one knew about him in the past few years. Now, the third prince and Yongzhao have made great contributions by winning the battle!
"Manager Feng, how much silver is it?" Luo Kui took out the purse and asked Manager Feng.
"Sixty taels." Shopkeeper Feng said with embarrassment. Looking at the furious Feng Yan beside him, he whispered a reminder: "The Feng family is not to be trifled with."
Luo Kui directly took out fifty taels of silver notes and slapped ten taels of silver on the tray in Shopkeeper Feng's hand: "My young lady bought it!"
Feng Yan walked forward and blocked Xiao Jiuyue's way. Looking at Xiao Jiuyue's pretty face, he said coldly, "You look unfamiliar, aren't you from Shengjing?"
"My daughter is from Censor Feng's family. Next month, she will marry into the Second Prince's mansion." Yu Xin mentioned her daughter's identity with pride.
"The Second Prince's future concubine, Miss Feng." Xiao Jiuyue emphasized the word 'concubine'. She smiled and said, "Miss Feng hasn't even married into the Second Prince's household yet, but she's already using her power to bully others. If this gets out, wouldn't it be bad for her reputation?"
Feng Yan frowned. She didn't expect that the other party knew her identity and wanted to steal the bracelet.
Xiao Jiuyue continued, "Miss Feng comes from a family of imperial censors. Lord Feng oversees all officials, so Miss Feng should be more cautious in what she says and does."
Feng Yan's expression changed when Lord Feng was mentioned. She shouted with a guilty conscience, "Don't talk nonsense. When did I ever use my power to pressure others? It was obviously me who chose the bracelet first."
Feng Yan looked at the shopkeeper Feng and said, "Seventy taels, I want this bracelet." What they were fighting for now was not the bracelet, but face.
"This..." Shopkeeper Feng was extremely embarrassed and looked at Xiao Jiuyue for help. Otherwise, should he take a step back?
"Eighty taels." Xiao Jiuyue spoke, directly expressing her attitude.
"Ninety taels!" Feng Yan said in a deep voice. In her opinion, Xiao Jiuyue didn't even dare to reveal his identity. Perhaps he was from an ordinary family?
"One hundred taels." Xiao Jiuyue played with the bracelet in her hand, her eyes vaguely falling on Feng Yan's face. Fortunately, Jun Lie rejected the marriage. Otherwise, marrying a girl like this...
