Chapter 7 Are you afraid that I'm cheating?
Zhao Wanyue sent the shadow guard away and smiled: "Lian Xuan, I haven't been out for a long time. Let's go to Nanzhu Pavilion for a walk! Baizhi, you stay at home and take care of the young lady!"
Su Xiaoxiao, who was concentrating on drinking milk, suddenly felt that the milk in her mouth was no longer fragrant. It was really unreasonable for her mother to go shopping without taking her.
She waved her little hands and knocked over the milk that Baizhi handed over, babbling something.
[Shopping, Xiaoxiao wants to go too, I've never been out of the house, mother, look at me, look at me, look at you, the cutest little baby in the world.
Zhao Wanyue tried hard not to laugh and pretended that she didn't hear anything. Although the weather was warm now, Xiaoxiao was too young to be taken out. But Su Xiaoxiao refused to listen and insisted on going out. You 're
not
taking me with you, right? Then I'll cry for you to see. I'll cry all the time and I won't be coaxed into being good!
Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, gathered all her strength, and started to cry loudly.
Baizhi quickly took out Su Xiaoxiao's favorite little bell and shook it in front of her, but Su Xiaoxiao didn't even look at it. She just cried at the top of her voice, so loud that the whole yard could hear her.
Lian Xuan said, "Madam, the young lady has never cried like this before. Is it because she knows you are going out and can't bear to leave you?"
Zhao Wanyue sighed and said helplessly, "This is probably the so-called mother-daughter connection."
After that, she took Su Xiaoxiao and patted her gently a few times, and she stopped crying immediately.
Baizhi stretched out her hand and said, "The young lady should stop crying. Madam has to go out to do something. "
Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Baizhi and tried to tilt her head to the side. She didn't want to stay at home.
Zhao Wanyue said helplessly, "Then take the young lady with you! Baizhi, go and pack the young lady's belongings."
[Great, we can go shopping! ] Su Xiaoxiao kicked her little feet happily.
Bai Zhi and Lian Xuan were amazed: "Young lady is really smart. She knows how to go out and have fun at such a young age."
Nanzhu Pavilion is one of the best jewelry shops in Beijing. The jewelry inside is of high quality and novel style. It is deeply loved by women from aristocratic families. This shop is one of Zhao Wanyue's dowry.
Everyone knows that Nanzhu Pavilion is making money day by day, and Sun Caidie is no exception. So she has always wanted Liu to give her this shop, but Liu refused to give in.
Sun Caidie was very angry. If she didn't give her the shop, she couldn't give her the jewelry. Liu had brought her here several times before, and asked her to put everything she took into the account.
She herself came here every now and then with Liu's keepsake to get some things, and she always recorded the money and never paid a single time.
The shopkeeper also talked to Liu several times, but Liu said nonchalantly: "It's just a few pieces of jewelry, just give it to her."
But today, she fell in love with a set of pure gold and gemstone headpieces that were used by Zhao Wanyue when she got married. Because of its exquisite workmanship and grand style, she had someone send it to her a few days ago and put it in the store as a treasure.
The shopkeeper said humbly, "Miss Sun, please look at me, this headdress really can't be sold!"
Sun Caidie, who was used to bullying others, couldn't stand it. She scolded, "You are open for business, but you don't sell the goods. Are you bullying us?"
As she yelled, the customers in the store stopped, and the people outside stretched their necks to look in curiously.
The shopkeeper dared not to be angry but said kindly, "Miss Sun, I am not deliberately neglecting you. This is the headdress that our prince's wife wore when she got married. The pattern on it was painted by my wife herself. It clearly says that this item is not for sale!"
When Sun Caidie heard that it was the headdress that Zhao Wanyue wore when she got married, she was furious. Su Bowen was a bastard, and his wife could use such a good thing.
She was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, but she could only hide her identity and live like a rat in the gutter. Her entire dowry was not worth as much as this headdress.
Everything Zhao Wanyue enjoyed now should be hers, hers!
Jealousy made Sun Caidie lose her mind. She pushed the shopkeeper away angrily and wanted to take the headdress herself.
The shopkeeper was almost scared out of his wits. The headpiece was worth a fortune and he couldn't afford to lose it. He begged, "Miss Sun, please don't do that. We really do
n't sell it!" The people watching the excitement couldn't stand it anymore and pointed and said, "Why is this person like this? It's clearly written on it that samples are not for sale!"
"What do you know? The Duke's wife is my relative. She promised me this headpiece. I will take it away today no matter what!" Sun Caidie said, and went to hold the headpiece.
The shopkeeper rubbed his sore waist and shouted to the servant, "Hurry up and stop her!"
Zhao Wanyue, wearing a lilac dress with cloud brocade, walked slowly, majestic but not elegant. People around her were attracted to her.
Zhao Wanyue smiled and said, "Since this lady likes to sell it to her so much, just sell it to her!"
"Madam?" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw Zhao Wanyue, "But this is your favorite thing!"
Zhao Wanyue held the baby in her arms and smiled brightly: "It doesn't matter. Everyone loves beauty. Since this lady likes it so much, I will reluctantly give it up. I will wrap my hair and take the lady to pay!"
The shopkeeper suddenly felt confident when he saw Zhao Wanyue. He led Sun Caidie to the counter and said politely: "Miss Sun, the total is five thousand eight hundred and sixty taels!"
Sun Caidie was embarrassed and angry. "Five thousand eight hundred and sixty taels, why don't you just go and grab it!"
The shopkeeper patiently explained, "Miss Sun, this headpiece is made of pure gold. Every gem on it is a rare treasure, not to mention the extremely complicated workmanship. It's really worth the price."
Other customers couldn't stand it anymore. Someone who saw injustice said, "Madam, it's clearly written on the shelf that it's not for sale, but you insisted on buying it. It's rare that the owner is so generous and willing to part with it, but you still complain about this and that. If you can't afford it, don't embarrass yourself here!"
"That's right. Nanzhu Pavilion is such a quiet place. How could such a vulgar person come to mess things up?"
Sun Caidie was ridiculed by so many people. She was indignant, but Zhao Wanyue's aura was so overwhelming that she was a little scared. However, the headdress was so attractive. Thinking that these should have been hers, she snatched the box and said, "Who are you looking down on? I'll take this headdress. Shopkeeper, the old rules apply. Put it in the account first and I'll pay you tomorrow." Let someone pay."
With Zhao Wanyue sitting there, and such an important figure, how could the shopkeeper dare to make the decision on his own? He stopped Sun Caidie and said, "Miss Sun, the bills from the past few years have not been settled yet. Please settle them all today!"
The guest just now said contemptuously, "Hahaha, I thought you were a vulgar upstart, but you turned out to be a scoundrel who wanted to eat and take for free. Whose family raised this daughter to be so shameless?"
Sun Caidie was so embarrassed that she wanted to throw the money on the table to blind those nosy people.
She said,
"Shopkeeper, this is not my first time here. With my friendship with the Duke's wife, are you afraid that I will default on you?
