Qin Jiaojiao took Qin Ye's arm and came to the first floor, followed by seven or eight waiters. On the counter, there were more than twenty take-away boxes piled there. The extremely generous display attracted many envious glances from the customers.
There were even whispers:
"Every piece of jewelry in the Treasure Pavilion is very expensive. You'd be very rich if you could buy just one. Miss Qin San actually bought more than 20 pieces in one go!"
"Oh my god, I'm so envious. How much money does this cost? She must be so rich!"
"The wedding of Miss Qin San and Prince Li will be held soon. I heard that Prince Li dotes on Miss Qin San very much and even spent all his savings just to make this beautiful lady smile."
“I’m so envious…”
Qin Jiaojiao's ears twitched slightly, taking in all those words. She raised her chin proudly, attracting all the attention, as if she were the moon hanging high in the sky.
She held Qin Ye's arm and shouted, "Check out!"
The shopkeeper smiled so hard that only a slit remained in his eyes, and the beads of his abacus made a clacking sound:
"Miss Third, the total is 43,000 taels. Is it in cash or bank receipts? Do you need us to deliver it to Prime Minister Qin's residence?"
The service was very attentive.
This huge amount made all the onlookers envious.
Qin Jiaojiao curled her lips and said to Qin Ye calmly, "Sister, where are the things you bought?"
Didn’t King Chen say that anything Qin Ye likes should be bought up?
As Qin Ye's elder sister, she can naturally rely on her younger sister and enjoy some benefits.
The joy of picking wool~~
However, Qin Ye said: "I don't have anything I like."
Qin Jiaojiao was stunned.
"You can go shopping by yourself. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first." Qin Ye pulled out his hand and walked away.
"younger sister!"
Qin Jiaojiao was startled at first, then she rushed over with eyes wide open, pulled her aside, and asked in a low voice in disbelief:
"Didn't you say you wanted to buy something?"
Qin Ye waved his hand: "I just said I was just looking around, but there was nothing I liked."
"you!"
If Qin Ye doesn't buy it, how can she take advantage of Qin Ye to make money?
Forty-three thousand taels of silver!
Even if I sold her I wouldn't get that much money!
But, she had already chosen the things and there was no reason to return them; if she didn't buy them today, others would laugh at her and she would be extremely embarrassed.
Qin Jiaojiao patiently coaxed her, "Sister, take a closer look. The ornaments in this treasure pavilion cannot be bought outside, and there is only one of each."
Qin Ye glanced at Qin Jiaojiao suspiciously.
Encourage her to buy things?
"How about I give you that phoenix feather?" Qin Jiaojiao reluctantly gave it up.
"No, I'm not interested in this kind of gold and silver jewelry."
"younger sister……"
At this time, the shopkeeper behind the counter asked loudly:
"Miss San, do you want to pay in cash or something else?"
Others also cast curious glances.
Why was the Third Miss whispering to Princess Chen when they were paying the bill?
Suddenly, Qin Ye seemed to understand something. Qin Jiaojiao was trying to take advantage of her...
It’s a huge sum of more than 40,000 taels!
According to the currency conversion between ancient and modern times, 43,000 taels is equivalent to 43 million in modern times!
She is really ruthless!
Oh!
Qin Ye's eyes turned cold, and she had no feelings for her 'sister' who was plotting against her at this moment. She turned around and said coldly to the shopkeeper:
"Why are you rushing? Is there something Princess Li can't afford?"
Qin Jiaojiao felt more confident when she heard this.
Qin Ye is defending her. It seems that Qin Ye will pay for her~
The next second, Qin Ye walked away.
she:"??"
He hurriedly took a step forward, "Sister, you..."
Qin Ye turned around and said, "Sister, you have a good eye. You picked out expensive and good things. I am not worthy of them. Sister, please go shopping. I'm leaving first."
"younger sister!"
Qin Jiaojiao was about to chase after him, but the shopkeeper stopped her and said, "Miss Third, your things..."
"Why stop me? Can't I afford it?"
"Then you pay the money."
"I..." Qin Jiaojiao choked for a moment. Under the gaze of so many eyes, she clenched her hands awkwardly and explained, "I was in a hurry to go out today and didn't bring so much cash. How about you help me deliver the things to Qin Xiangfu first, and I'll give you the money later."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he waved his hands unhappily:
"Treasure Pavilion has always followed the rule of paying first and delivering the goods later."
When choosing, he was very straightforward and wanted everything; but when paying, he pushed and shoved and was hesitant.
"Miss San, you don't have any money, do you?"
The shopkeeper's words exposed Qin Jiaojiao. In an instant, Qin Jiaojiao felt so embarrassed as if she was stripped naked and exposed to everyone's gaze.
"I, I... I can afford it, I just didn't bring enough money, I..."
"I've worked so hard for nothing!" The shopkeeper's face suddenly turned stern and he took back the twenty or so brocade boxes.
"So she is the pretentious big-tailed wolf." Someone said this, and the guests and employees in the store were all excited:
"You can't afford it, but you still choose so many. Who are you showing off to?"
"that is!"
Qin Jiaojiao explained awkwardly, "I, I have money, I just didn't bring it with me, I..."
"The most important thing for a person is to be honest. If I were to pretend to be so high-minded, I would be ashamed."
"I thought I met the God of Wealth today, but I didn't expect him to be a liar."
"What bad luck! Bah!"
The tiny words poured into Qin Jiaojiao's ears, making her eyes red. She could no longer bear it and pushed through the crowd, rushing out in tears.
Prince Chen had already said that he would buy everything Qin Ye liked. She only liked jewelry worth more than 40,000 taels, but Qin Ye deliberately embarrassed her.
Qin Ye, you're going too far!
