Chapter 272 Banquet Fight
Luo Fu naturally understood, but was also surprised: "Doesn't Brother Wang's maternal grandfather have a gold shop?"
No matter what, I should help my daughter and her family.
Wang Lexuan chuckled: "You also said it was my maternal grandparents' house, but how could it be my own family's?"
"But Brother Wang said..." He was interrupted before he could finish his words. He was planning to open a shop at home.
"Xiao Fu, let's not discuss this anymore." Wang Yaozhi's eyes flickered. "Do you have anything else to buy? Are you short of jewelry? Why don't you go to my grandparents' house and take a look?"
Without waiting for Luo Fu to speak, Wang Lexuan quickly agreed: "Sure, that's my cousin's grandparents' shop, can you give us a discount?"
Wang Yaozhi was speechless for a moment.
The last time I gave away a pair of earrings, my aunt started gossiping behind my back.
Although they appeared to be on good terms, if it weren't for the fact that my uncle was still a magistrate at the time, he would probably have come to ask for money.
Now my uncle has been promoted, but...after all, jewelry is not that easy to get.
"If Le Xuan wants to buy it, it will definitely be cheaper." He said with a smile.
Wang Lexuan didn't let go: "What about Xiaofu?"
Wang Leya was not happy with her questioning her elder brother like this: "I say, are you annoying? You're the prefect's daughter, and you don't even have enough money to buy jewelry? And you're still bullying the common people!"
Wang Lexuan rolled her eyes at her. "Erya, being uneducated is truly terrifying. I'm talking about people like you. My cousin said, this is your grandfather's shop. Why should we be so fussy? And I've never bullied ordinary people. If you dare to speak nonsense again, be careful or I'll have Second Aunt stop giving you your monthly allowance!"
"You!" Wang Leya had a heart attack. This cousin had always had a bad relationship with her. Now that her uncle got promoted, wouldn't she continue to bully her in the future?
Her mind raced as she looked at the generous Luo Fu standing beside her: "Hey, Miss Luo, are you going to buy jewelry or not? If not, don't delay my eldest brother from going home to study."
Luo Fu naturally wanted to stay with Brother Wang for a while longer, so she nodded and turned around: "Le Xuan, let's go together?"
After buying a bunch of clothes at Qiao’s Cloth Shop, the group went to the gold and silver shop.
Wang Lexuan was afraid that Luo Fu would suffer a loss, so she stayed by her side.
With the magistrate's daughter around, the shopkeeper didn't dare to bluff people and only told them real prices.
Luo Fu hadn't bought any new jewelry for many days, so naturally she bought a lot.
Wang Leya was shocked when she saw it. She pulled her brother's sleeve and whispered, "This is too expensive. Our family can't afford it!"
Wang Yaozhi's eyes flickered and he shook his head slightly, signaling her not to say anything more.
When I saw her spending three hundred taels of silver lavishly, she still had a smile on her face.
"Have you bought everything?"
Luo Fu looked very proud and shook her head. "There are also new shoes. Mother has had them embroidered. I need to go get them."
Actually, it was originally intended to be sent to the mansion, but she wanted to see it first. After all, it was a pattern she designed, and it happened to be delivered in time for this banquet, so it was new from beginning to end.
Thinking of something, she suddenly turned her head: "Le Xuan, aren't you going to buy it?"
Wang Lexuan smiled and said, "I won't buy it."
Luo Fu took the gold hairpin that she had obviously looked at many times and asked, "Don't you like it very much?"
Wang Lexuan hurriedly put the gold hairpin back. This hairpin cost over a hundred taels and she couldn't afford it.
She took Luo Fu's arm and said, "Let's go get the shoes."
Wang Leya curled her lips and thought, I still can't afford it.
She couldn't help but say, "Cousin, you have such a good relationship with Miss Luo, I believe she can still afford to give you a gold hairpin."
She had originally intended to sow discord between the two, but unexpectedly, Luo Fu, who had been fussy just now, nodded: "Yes, Le Xuan, if you want, I can give it to you."
Wang Lexuan was shocked. It was the first time someone offered her something worth hundreds of taels.
"No, I really don't need it."
Luo Fu: "Okay then."
When the group left the gold and silver shop and were about to get on the carriage, Luo Fu suddenly said, "I think I left something in the shop. Ah Xin, go get it for me."
When Ah Xin came out of the shop again, she was holding a long wooden box in her arms. "Miss, look."
Luo Fu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Ah Xin is really smart. After picking up the shoes, she will give the gift to Sister Le Xuan."
Ah Xin: "Miss Wang will definitely like it."
When they arrived at the embroidery workshop and saw the pair of shoes embroidered with pearls and surrounded by gold thread, Luo Fu's smile became even more raised.
The three of them really understand each other, she loves this pair of shoes so much.
Wang Leya was so jealous after seeing this!
…
Three days later, Magistrate Wang.
Many guests had already arrived before noon.
In Changyi Garden, young people from various mansions come here for fun, and Wang Qin and Wang Lexuan greet guests here.
The elders were talking together, and Zhu Mingqing was sitting closest to Mrs. Wang.
The wives of the officials were all very considerate and offered compliments one after another. Soon, a noise came from the group of girls.
Mrs. Wang frowned and sent someone to check. After a while, she got the news that Luo Fu and Le Ya had a fight, and it was said that their marriage was involved.
Mrs. Wang could no longer sit still.
Today's banquet is held, firstly to celebrate my husband's promotion, it is indeed a good idea to make friends with the Luo family, and secondly, it is for the marriage of our children.
But I didn't expect that Xiaofu would get into trouble.
Seeing her and Madam Zhu move, the other ladies followed suit.
In the pavilion of Changyi Garden.
Luo Fu and Wang Leya both grabbed each other's hair and refused to give in.
The girls around were watching the fun and trying to stop the fight. It was really lively.
"What's going on!" Mrs. Wang's stern voice came from behind.
Everyone quickly turned sideways, and Zhu Mingqing followed closely behind, and also saw Luo Fu with obvious red marks on her face.
Although I don't have any deep feelings for this adopted daughter, after all, I have raised her for all these days, so she is still my own.
We are one of us and cannot be bullied!
Zhu Mingqing stepped forward and pinched Wang Leya's arm. Somehow, she felt her arm become weak and she let go.
Luo Fu also withdrew her hand, with a look of grievance on her face: "Mother."
Zhu Mingqing said calmly: "Tell me, what happened!"
Luo Fu glared at Wang Leya and told her what had happened in no time.
Just now, Ah Xin clearly saw that it was Wang Leya who deliberately stepped on her foot, dirtying her favorite shoes and causing several pearls to fall off.
Not only did the other party not admit it, he also said that it was just his carelessness and that he was destined to be poor, and even Pearl despised him!
Luo Fu was furious when she heard this. She was good at other things, but saying she was poor, when she thought of the hardships she had experienced in exile, was like a thorn in her side, causing her to explode.
The two of them were arguing back and forth, making it very lively. In addition, Wang Lexuan's clothes were accidentally stained with tea and she was not around, so no one could stop them.
It finally developed into a fight!
Zhu Mingqing looked at Luo Fu and said, "You've been lazy in your martial arts training. You can't even beat a little girl. When you go back, practice an extra hour every day!"
