Chapter 140: Worldly Wisdom

The brother and sister were startled and looked up at the person who came.

The person was tall and handsome, holding a folding fan and looking like a dandy.

"This pen is good, you have good taste." Yu Yuan took the pen in his hand and looked at it carefully, then threw it back to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning caught it carefully, fearing that it would fall to the ground and break.

The money has not been paid yet, who will be responsible if it breaks?

Seeing that it was Yu Yuan, Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile: "How did Prince Yu have time to come here?"

"Humph, you left the wine shop to me and came to visit Linglong Pavilion by yourself. Why, you can come but I can't?"

Yu Yuan was very dissatisfied with Jiang Shu for tricking him into a trap and taking over the business.

Especially when Jiang Shu kept saying that she was busy, but he caught her wandering around, Yu Yuan was even more angry.

Jiang Shu knew that he was in the wrong, so he wanted to give a gift to make it up: "I'll give you anything in this pavilion that Prince Yu likes."

"You'll give me anything he likes?" Yu Yuan asked with a raised eyebrow, searching quickly.

Jiang Shu's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "As long as Prince Yu likes it."

Yu Yuan smiled slyly and really picked carefully.

Seeing his attitude, Jiang Ning approached Jiang Shu and whispered, "Sister, he doesn't look well-intentioned."

Jiang Shu nodded, "I know, go and see if there's anything else you like."

Although Yu Yuan was a bit rude and mean, he was trustworthy and responsible, and he could distinguish right from wrong. The fact that Yu Zheng could befriend him was enough to prove that he had his own strengths.

It was just a matter of spending some money, just to please his brother.

Yu Yuan carefully selected for a long time and chose a white jade folding fan.

"Prince Yu has good taste. The fan bones of this white jade fan are made of Nanyang white jade and are carved with exquisite patterns. The landscape painting on the fan was painted by the master himself. It is unique and is perfect for Prince Yu."

The waiter smiled shyly and praised him without reservation.

Yu Yuan was very pleased to hear this. He unfolded the folding fan and shook it, and said with satisfaction: "I want this fan."

"Thank you for your patronage, Prince Yu. This white jade fan is priced at 1,800 taels." The waiter smiled with his teeth showing.

Hearing this price, Yu Yuan trembled in his heart and almost couldn't hold the fan in his hand steadily.

Although the Rong Palace is a royal family with rich assets, it is not so extravagant. The monthly allowance given to him is no more than 150 taels.

1,800 taels, including the monthly allowance and the profit sharing from Cuiyunlou, can be saved for several months without spending a penny. If he bought it himself, he would be heartbroken.

Yu Yuan coughed with guilt and looked at Jiang Shu with a calm look.

Jiang Shu smiled and said generously: "I'll give it to Prince Yu."

1,800 taels is nothing to Jiang Shu. It is a good deal to have a close relationship with Yu Yuan.

Jiang Shu is happy, but Jiang Ning is not.

Although the Jiang family is rich, money doesn't come from the wind. How can they spend so much on an outsider casually?

Although he was dissatisfied, Jiang Ning did not say it out loud. He understood that his elder sister had her reasons for doing so.

"Tan Yu, give me the money." Jiang Shu told Tan Yu to pay for the jade fan first, so that the staff and Yu Yuan would be relieved.

Yu Yuan was overjoyed to get a jade fan for free, and his resentment towards Jiang Shu disappeared completely. He threw the previous fan to the servant, and shook the new fan to show off.

"Prince Yu came here just for this folding fan?" Jiang Shu asked in confusion.

Yu Yuan was stunned, and then he remembered the purpose of his visit to Linglong Pavilion.

"I almost forgot the main business." Yu Yuan put away the folding fan and slapped his palm, looking at the treasures on the shelf and carefully selecting them.

Jiang Shu smiled, and then he also chose gifts with Jiang Ning.

"Hey, that whip is good. Take it down for me to have a look." Yu Yuan selected for a long time, but didn't find one he liked. He glanced up inadvertently and saw the whip hanging on the wall.

Jiang Shu and Jiang Ning were attracted by Yu Yuan's surprise and turned their heads to look.

It was a long black whip with five-colored gemstones inlaid on both ends of the handle, which was very unique and beautiful.

But this whip looked like it was for girls.

Jiang Shu couldn't help but be curious: "Is Prince Yu going to give it to a girl?"

Yu Yuan nodded and took the whip to observe it carefully.

Yu Yuan was born in the royal family, and the girls he met and made friends with must be the daughters of noble families. Isn't this long whip a little inappropriate?

Jiang Shu was afraid that Yu Yuan would give the wrong gift, so he gently reminded her, "Why don't you choose jewelry for a girl?"

"I think she'll like this more." Yu Yuan looked at the long whip in his hand and was very pleased.

Hearing Yu Yuan say this, he seemed to have an idea in mind, so Jiang Shu stopped talking.

"Sister, look at this." Jiang Ning shouted in surprise.

Jiang Shu retracted his gaze and saw that Jiang Ning was holding a gold-inlaid ruby ​​bracelet, which was particularly exquisite and beautiful.

"Young master, you have a good eye. The gemstone inlaid on this bracelet is ruby ​​coral. Not only is the workmanship unique and exquisite, but the design is also ingenious, and it's a different world."

After seeing Jiang Shu's financial resources, the partners' attitudes changed drastically. He carefully took the bracelet from Jiang Ning's hand and demonstrated it to them.

"There is a secret button here. After opening it, you can put the scented beads in the bracelet. Wearing it on your wrist

will give you a wonderful fragrance." "No wonder I smell the fragrance of this bracelet. It turns out there are scented beads inside." Jiang Ning suddenly realized.

The red jade and coral scented beads bracelet, Jiang Shu thought this thing was exquisite and unique, and Sun Yijun would definitely like it, so he asked for it.

It was already evening when they came out of Linglong Pavilion. Jiang Ning rubbed her stomach and said, "Sister, I'm hungry."

"Let's go to Cuiyun Tower." Jiang Shu's tone was doting and indulgent.

When it was time for dinner, Cuiyun Tower was already more than half full. The brother and sister went straight to the private room and ordered a table of dishes.

While waiting for the dishes, Jiang Ning chatted with Jiang Shu.

"Sister, why did you give such a valuable gift to Prince Yu?"

Jiang Ning didn't know the relationship between Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng, and didn't understand the origins of Jiang Shu and Yu Yuan, so it was normal for him to be confused.

Looking at the somewhat dissatisfied young man, Jiang Shu leaned close to his ear and whispered, "He is the prince, and Cuiyun Tower is only supported by him so that no one dares to make trouble. And being familiar with him is also beneficial to Jiang Ji."

"It's not enough to have brains and vision to do business, you also need connections and backers."

Jiang Ning heard this and said with a pout, "It's really troublesome."

This is why he doesn't want to do business.

Jiang Shu touched the boy's head and explained softly, "This is not a trouble, it's the way of the world. It's not only needed in business, but also in doing anything."

Even in the officialdom, it's the same.

Although Jiang Ning is still young, he is smart and understands things at a glance.

He remembered that the last time Jiang's father was seriously injured, it was thanks to Jiang Shu's relationship that he was able to invite the imperial physician.

The siblings were talking, and the dishes came up soon.

They were all Jiang Ning's favorites. He had been thinking about them for a long time, and he ate them very happily.

One day passed in a flash, and the next day Jiang Shu changed into men's clothes to manage Jiang's.

Just as she was about to go out in the morning, she heard the servant come to report that Shen Changze was here.

What was he here for?

Jiang Shu's brows immediately frowned: "No, tell him that the Jiang family doesn't welcome him."

"Yes." The servant took the order and left.

Afraid of running into Shen Changze and being pestered by him, Jiang Shu deliberately waited for a quarter of an hour before going out.

Unexpectedly, Shen Changze was still outside, and he came up to Jiang Shu as soon as he saw him.

"Jiang Shu, I have something to say to you."

Jiang Shu's eyes were cold and sarcastic: "Do you want to pay back the money, Marquis?"

Shen Changze choked and said with a little embarrassment: "No."

"Then I have nothing to say to the Marquis." Jiang Shu said and was about to leave.

Shen Changze was anxious and grabbed her wrist.
