Although she had a dowry, she had sold several shops when she was helping Fang Tongpu to make connections, so there was basically not much left. In addition, her aunt's house was not free, and the family always asked her to make some money, so she had to spend some money.
So it’s a bit difficult to ask her to take out one hundred taels.
What's more, what's the point of buying a broken hairpin? She turned around and saw that the shopkeeper's face had changed, "I say, auntie, even if you don't like this hairpin, you can't throw it away! You have to take it now, whether you want it or not."
Su Bei originally told him to inform Yu Zihe of the event, but the shopkeeper was smart and immediately realized that the Queen wanted to humiliate this woman, so he took the initiative to make things difficult for her.
Yu Zihe was reluctant to spend the hundred taels, so she looked at Jiang Xiaochun, "How about... let the store fix it, and then you can give it to your aunt?"
Jiang Xiaochun was timid and cowardly. He felt unhappy but was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
The shopkeeper was not happy. "This hairpin is made of jade. If you want to repair it, you have to cover it with gold. The cost of repairing it will be at least one hundred taels. Who will pay for it?"
Yu Zihe's eyes widened instantly. Is she sick to repair this hairpin? She thought about it and remembered the event just now, "Isn't there an event at your house? I can get this hairpin for free if I buy 200 taels of jewelry, right?"
"Yes! What do you want to buy?"
"How much silver do the bracelets they hold cost?" Yu Zihe asked. The jingle bracelet was still very beautiful, and it was worth buying it after gritting her teeth.
"One thousand taels."
Yu Zihe almost fainted, "Your things are too expensive! They are simply ripping people off..."
"This bracelet is only one thousand taels? Won't my sister-in-law be losing money?" Princess Mu Hui's voice came from outside.
The shopkeeper didn't say anything, just looked at Yu Zihe, his eyes full of contempt.
I'm not saying I look down on the poor. You're not dressed well but we still serve you well. But you openly slander the store. That's not bad, right?!
Look, people say the things in the shop are cheap.
Yu Zihe wanted to say that she was a princess and her status should be the same as hers, but she didn't dare to say it and was just filled with anger.
Buy this hairpin, it costs one hundred taels, I feel bad about it.
If I buy something else, it will cost me two hundred taels, which is painful.
After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and said, "Wait, I'll go back and get the banknotes."
In fact, even if it hurts, it is more cost-effective to buy something else and give the hairpin as a gift. She knows this very well, but all her belongings added up to only a hundred taels, and if she wants more, she will have to sell the shop.
So Jiang Xiaochun was kept by her and she went back to get the banknotes.
Only then did Su Bei come out to greet Chu Ruzhi and Mu Hui.
"It is my honor that my aunt has come to my shop to buy her dowry. This violet jingle bracelet is my gift to my aunt. I will give her a 50% discount on all other items she chooses!"
A 50% discount means half sale and half give away.
Chu Ruzhi was unhappy. "You have made great contributions to the relationship between Cheng Qiu and me. I am here to take care of your business. You should sell it as you wish."
"Then I won't give any discounts on anything else. Consider this violet bracelet as a gift to my aunt."
Mu Hui was also unhappy, "The Queen's sister-in-law is biased, I was the first one to see the bracelet!"
"There are jade materials in the backyard. Just pick a piece and ask them to make it for you."
Upon hearing this, Mu Hui became interested and pulled Su Bei to the backyard.
There were a lot of jade materials in the backyard, but Mu Hui insisted on having one similar to the one just now, so the two of them took a long time to choose.
As he was carrying the items, Tang Jiang came running in hurriedly.
"Your Majesty! It's bad! It's bad!" Tang Jiang said in a panic, "The Emperor has been assassinated!"
Su Bei suddenly became nervous, "What's going on?"
Just now, Chu Younan wanted to accompany Su Bei for a walk, but he was too ostentatious in his dragon robe, and Su Bei felt uncomfortable, so he asked him to go back first.
When they were halfway there, several assassins suddenly appeared, and the secret guards took action, as did Chu Younan.
Both sides suffered injuries, and Chu Younan was even hit by an arrow.
When Su Bei heard that he was shot by an arrow, his legs went weak. "How badly is he injured?"
"He was shot in the shoulder, but it's not a big deal..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Bei hurriedly asked, "Where is the person?"
"At the dim sum shop..."
Before Tang Jiang could finish his words, Su Bei had already run out.
It's nothing serious. How can Tang Jiang be so anxious? It must be something serious!
But when Su Bei arrived at the snack shop, she realized that if she had come a little later...
I'm afraid the wound will heal...
On the contrary, Su Bei ran too fast and had a stomachache.
It was the injured person who helped her sit down.
"What's going on? Where did the assassin come from?" Su Bei said breathlessly.
Chu Younan poured her a cup of tea and said, "Take a rest first. Why are you running so fast?"
Su Bei glanced at Tang Jiang who followed behind him. Tang Jiang looked aggrieved. He had clearly said that it was nothing serious, so how could the Queen run so fast? He couldn't even catch up! He probably forgot that Su Bei was a wolf hunter, and how could those of them who didn't exercise much compare to him.
Chu Younan didn't know who the assassin was. He was in a high position now, so it was inevitable that some people would dislike him, such as those who were dismissed and exiled for buying and selling official positions, such as the people of the Mo family, and those countries that attempted to annex Wu.
"I think their martial arts moves are a bit strange, they don't look like people from the Central Plains."
"Could it be Bei Yanming's people? I always feel that he has ulterior motives."
"Remove 'always feel'." Chu Younan said firmly.
However, the North is facing internal and external troubles. Even if the assassination of Chu Younan is successful, Bei Yanming may not have the energy to take over the Wu Kingdom. This is not what he should do.
There is currently no solution to this problem.
The emperor was there and had just been assassinated, so the snack shop definitely couldn't open, and it was surrounded by the imperial guards.
The customers were cleared out, but all the shop assistants were locked up, including Xiao Han.
"Why are you here?" Su Bei asked.
Xiao Han didn't say anything, but the lamb in his arms spoke: "Daddy is here to pick me and mom up."
Su Bei almost dropped his jaw in shock, "What's going on?"
Xiao Han seemed a little shy, but still took Yu Chunhe's hand, "I came back for two things this time, one is to bring the little one back, and the other is to marry Chunhe."
Forget it, she doesn’t know when the two of them got together, she can only wish them the best.
All in all, Yu Chunhe is the winner in life. Su Bei went through numerous hardships to become the queen, but Yu Chunhe barely had to put in any effort and became the Queen directly.
"I have to prepare a dowry for Chunhe. I am from her family, and you can't bully her in the future." Su Bei pretended to be serious.
Xiao Han said nothing, just smiled.
Yu Chunhe didn't say anything either, but from her smile, it could be seen that the two of them had a good relationship.
Chu Younan said, "Then let's go back to Miaojiang directly. We won't hold the banquet here?"
As soon as he asked this question, an idea suddenly came to Su Bei's mind.
Fortunately, Xiao Han also cooperated and said, "It will be done. Her little sisters and some of my friends are here."
"Do it! Let's do it in a big way!" Su Bei was very excited.
This is not Yu Chunhe's first marriage, and holding a grand wedding means promoting women's freedom of marriage.
I hope Concubine Mei can figure it out after knowing this.
