Chapter 273 If I had known he was coming, I would not have come
Li Zhiyuan and Li Jiaojiao's faces turned alternately green and red as they listened to this.
Damn it, not only did they not show off, they even felt as embarrassed as showing off their swords in front of Guan Gong.
Li Zhiyuan turned around and wanted to leave.
Jinhua's eyes widened. "You're leaving? I just said a few words. You guys don't really know your own weight and come here to show off, right? No way?"
Li Zhiyuan paused, and said with a fake smile: "Of course not, we are here to buy furniture."
"Then take a quick look and see which one suits your taste."
Li Jiaojiao snorted coldly: "These furnitures are too ugly, we don't like any of them."
Jinhua nodded: "Oh, so you are poor."
"Who's poor!" Li Zhiyuan knew that the other party did it on purpose, but since he was in his ex-wife's shop, he couldn't let the other party look down on him.
Li Zhiyuan glanced at the furniture and his expression became even uglier.
Haven’t you ever eaten pork but seen a pig run?
These furniture styles are very new, and they are all things he could never have imagined! In this way, Ye Caiping has no choice but to make money!
Li Zhiyuan was so jealous and unwilling that he went crazy and wanted to turn around and leave, but Jinhua was looking at him eagerly, and her eyes clearly said that you just can't afford it.
Li Zhiyuan casually pointed at the Luohan bed in front of him and said, "How much is this?"
Jinhua laughed and said, "Wow, Mr. Scholar, you have good taste. This is top-grade nanmu wood. It costs 39 taels and 9 cents. You don't even need 40 taels!"
Li Zhiyuan almost vomited blood and looked at Li Jiaojiao.
The money was earned by Li Jiaojiao, so the financial power was naturally in her hands.
Li Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at him. Why did she point to the expensive one?
It is not easy for her to make money. After all, casinos are not easy to deal with. Although earning a few taels at a time is nothing, if she goes there too often, she will always be targeted, which is very dangerous!
She now only dares to earn about 100 taels a month. If she wins more, she will be beaten at best, or even lose her life.
Some time ago, I bought servants, clothes and jewelry, and had all kinds of feasts and drinks. I also spent 50 taels of silver on a big event. Now I only have a little over ten taels of silver left in my hand.
Li Jiaojiao snorted in frustration: "I don't like this Luohan bed. I don't want this one."
Li Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, then forget it... Let's wait and see..."
Jinhua: "Okay, there are cheap ash trees over there, and the cheapest fir furniture. A set of fir furniture only costs a few taels of silver."
Li Zhiyuan's face flushed red: "Who said we want the cheapest fir? We want nanmu!"
"We don't like the Luohan bed... I like that one! Yes, that kang table! Our house is missing a kang table!"
Then he picked up the small table on the bed and said, "I want this one. How much is it?"
"6 taels and 8 cents."
Li Jiaojiao felt that it was too expensive, but she couldn't afford to lose face anymore, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Didn't you say that all furniture will be 20% cheaper today?"
"This is already a discounted price. Please check out here."
Jinhua was too lazy to laugh at them. She would rather spend her time greeting other customers.
Because the furniture is new, more and more people are coming in.
Several people followed Jinhua to the front to pay the bill. Li Jiaojiao suddenly thought of something and said as she walked:
"The college entrance examination is coming soon. Will Ye Xuan also participate?"
Jinhua said without even turning her head: "Of course."
Li Jiaojiao sneered: "My brother will also participate, and he will definitely win the first place in the case then."
Jinhua was stunned. "No, I heard that he didn't even pass the provincial examination. How can someone who is not even a student take the imperial examination? It's so funny."
Li Jiaojiao had a look of contempt, and her face showed that she was superior to others:
"To take the college entrance examination, one must be a Tongsheng? Is that all you know? My brother is now the adopted son of the Weiyong Marquis's mansion."
"Do you know what Weiyongbo is? It is a kind of marquis. The court is kind to officials and marquises."
"Any official from the third to the first rank or the descendants of a marquis will have one quota in each term who does not need to take the college entrance examination and can directly take the provincial examination."
"Officials from the fifth to fourth ranks or descendants of marquises have one quota in each term who does not have to pass the county or prefectural examinations and can directly participate in the academy examinations."
"My brother is now the adopted son of the Weiyong Marquis's mansion and a son of an aristocrat. He does not need to pass the mansion examination and can directly take the college examination to become a scholar."
As they spoke, Li Zimo and Zhang Shuiniang behind them looked proud.
Li Zimo is now the adopted son of the Bo family, and they all seem to have become nobles.
Jinhua's face darkened when she heard that the Li family was related to some Bo's Mansion.
She had been studying in the Shen family for some time and knew these marquises.
King, Duke, Marquis, and Earl, the specific rank depends on the situation.
Jinhua sneered, "But you married into a rich mansion, but you don't seem to be very rich."
Li Zhiyuan and others all looked unhappy.
Li Jiaojiao sneered: "We are not the kind of people who flatter others. The Bo's Mansion made friends with us because they thought we were a good family. The Bo's Mansion also valued my brother's talent, so they accepted him as their adopted son."
"Anyway, my brother will definitely take first place in this college entrance examination!"
Jinhua said with a pah: "You can't even become a student, and you still want to get the first place in the examination. What a dream."
Li Jiaojiao did not refute, but raised her chin proudly: "We'll see."
With her eyes of clairvoyance, wouldn't it be easy to capture the case?
Li Zimo behind him was also full of confidence. With his sister's help, he was going to win three prizes in a row!
Several people came to the counter, paid the bill, and left with their heads held high.
Jinhua frowned and walked over to Ye Caiping.
Ye Caiping was explaining something to a customer. When she saw Jinhua coming over, she called Ye Yong, who was not far away, to come over and take over from that customer.
Jin Hua whispered, "Li Jiaojiao said that Li Zimo has been adopted as the son of the Wei Yongbo family."
Ye Caiping said: "I have just heard it. Don't be afraid, this is already the capital city, the nobles will always have some."
"Li Zimo failed the palace exam. The reason why Li Jiaojiao climbed up was just to give Li Zimo a place to take the college exam."
Jinhua nodded.
"Mom, the master and Sister Man are here!" Jin'er and Huan'er squeezed over and pulled Ye Caiping out.
Ye Caiping couldn't help but raise the corner of her lips and turned around to go out to greet him.
When I arrived at the door, I saw Shen Zhiyan and his daughter coming over.
Most of the people who entered the furniture workshop were wealthy people. Among them, Shen Zhiyan was still the most conspicuous one, with a noble and elegant appearance and full of elegance.
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Welcome."
Shen Manman jumped over happily: “Auntie!”
"Why!"
Shen Manman pulled her sleeve and said with a strange look on her face: “Why did I seem to see Li Zhiyuan just now?”
Ye Caiping was startled: "How do you know Li Zhiyuan?"
Shen Manman's face was slightly stiff: "Well...Jin'er mentioned him before...Anyway, I saw him once or twice somewhere."
Ye Caiping didn't take it seriously and nodded: "Oh."
Shen Zhiyan said: "There are so many people. If I had known, I wouldn't have come."
Ye Caiping looked at him and said, "Are you hoping that my house will be deserted?"
"That's not what I meant." Shen Zhiyan brought a folding fan with him, which he rarely brought with him. He opened it and fanned it gently:
"I came here to add some popularity to you. Now that you are so popular, there is no need for me to come."
Ye Caiping silently savored his words.
As I tasted it, I actually tasted the flavor of "If I had known he would come, I would not have come."
I always feel that it has the same meaning as what Shen Manman said before, "Is it just me, or do others have it?"
They are truly father and daughter.
