Chapter 271: Miss Lin Er is more experienced and insightful than me
If only one lady is interested, then the deal will be done.
What’s so annoying is that there’s another one coming.
"And this lady seems even more noble than that lady."
"Moreover, she brought with her four slaves, two of whom seemed to be quite skilled in fighting."
Shang Jianqiu was stunned at the time. It was the first time she had seen such a grand style.
Normally, when a young lady leaves her house, she would only have two servants with her, but this one was different, with four, two of whom were skilled in martial arts. Isn't that strange? She knew that she didn't dare, and couldn't, offend this young lady.
Shang Jianqiu's face turned bitter. "But I didn't dare to offend that young lady who was just a servant. Oh, I never expected that. I have been in the capital for so many years, I have seen all kinds of people and encountered all kinds of things, but what happened that day really put me in a dilemma."
Both ladies want it.
It would be wrong for her to give it to any lady. She couldn't possibly ruin the embroidery, could she? She might as well offend one of the ladies. She couldn't bear to ruin such a good embroidery.
Xiyang asked, "Which lady did you choose in the end?"
Shang Jianqiu opened her mouth to answer, but she swallowed the words back and asked Lin Qingjun, "Second Miss Lin, could you guess which one I chose?"
Xieyang's lips twitched. This boss was really cunning. "My lady didn't see those two ladies, how would she know..."
But before she could finish her words, Lin Qingjun said.
"You must have been sold to the second lady, the one who came with four slaves, right?"
Shang Jianqiu blurted out, "How do you know?"
Xieyang was also stunned. Her daughter actually guessed it? How smart!
Shang Jianqiu said, "At the time, I was thinking about not selling to anyone and not offending anyone, but who would have thought that the first lady who came in actually started raising the price, raising it to forty taels, and then, as if she had been shocked, the second lady raised it to eighty taels?"
Oh my god.
She had never imagined that an embroidery piece could actually be sold for eighty taels. Perhaps even the Fengqiuhuang from Wanzhongxuan wasn't worth that much?
More importantly, two young ladies are fighting over it?
"The scarier part was yet to come. The first lady who came in slammed a certain gold ingot in front of me and said she wanted it."
This slap made her heart tremble, but something even more terrifying was yet to come.
"The other young lady also took out two ingots without hesitation."
She looked at the two gold ingots lying quietly on the table. There they were.
Shang Jianqiu swallowed hard. She had never seen so much gold in her life.
But it is precisely because I have never seen it that I am afraid.
"It was so scary. After those two ladies left, I kept the door closed for three days. I didn't dare to show up until you showed up."
Shang Jianqiu was so scared that his heart was still beating fast.
Xieyang wanted to say, "Look at how capable she is," but when he saw that she was really scared, he swallowed his words back.
Xiyang asked, "Miss, who are those two people? Have you guessed it?"
After hearing this, Shang Jianqiu looked at her with shining eyes. She also wanted to know.
Lin Qingjun raised her eyebrows and asked, "Boss Shang, do the two of them like to wear gold jewelry and jade jewelry?"
Shang Jianqiu thought about it carefully, "That's right. The first lady who came in wore a golden hairpin with a lush cloud pattern on her head, and the other one wore a set of top-quality white jade head ornaments. The earrings were especially bright and translucent under the light, and they didn't look like something ordinary."
Just these two things make people know that these two young ladies are not simple people.
Lin Qingjun laughed when he heard this.
“So, it’s them.”
"who?"
Lin Qingjun said, "The one with the white jade headdress is the daughter of the current Prime Minister Mu, and the other one with the golden hairpin is the concubine's daughter of Minister Su of the Ministry of Revenue."
Mu Wanyun loves white jade very much, and even the bowls she uses for meals are jade bowls. The saying "beauty is like jade" refers to her. As for Su Lingge, it is just the opposite. She loves gold very much. Therefore, the people who came to Qianzi Pavilion must be these two.
"What?"
Shang Jianqiu was stunned on the ground in the setting sun.
Shang Jianqiu murmured, "No wonder, no wonder they are so noble and imposing. It turns out they are all daughters of the first rank? Amitabha, I am truly blessed by the Buddha. If I had taken a wrong step that day, I would have been doomed."
She is just a small businesswoman, how could she afford to offend such a person?
etc.
Xiyang found something wrong.
"Miss, aren't these two the future principal and concubine of the Crown Prince?"
"What?"
Shang Jianqiu was stunned again, and his legs went weak with fear.
The main wife or the concubine? Then she can't afford to offend.
Xieyang helped her up and said, "You looked so scared, but aren't you okay now?"
Shang Jianqiu cried, "It's okay, bullshit! I sold them two deposits of gold for that embroidery, and they were determined to kill me."
Shang Jianqiu began to sob.
Lin Qingjun smiled and consoled him, "Boss Shang, calm down, calm down. They won't do anything to you. They're fighting over the embroidery just as an excuse. Do you think you can fetch such a high price just based on that embroidery?"
The dispute between the principal and the concubine is an eternal topic. Even the Queen and Concubine Ning cannot escape this, let alone those two young ladies?
"Besides, the higher their position, the safer you are. They won't do anything to you. How can they, daughters of first-rank officials, embarrass a mere embroidery shop owner? If this gets out, won't everyone laugh?"
After hearing this, Shang Jianqiu's face lit up with joy again.
"Right, right, right. Oh, I was confused and misjudged them. The higher their status, the less likely they are to bother with me. Oh, now I can open my business with peace of mind. And these two gold ingots..."
Lin Qingjun chuckled and put one of them in her hand.
"This gold ingot is naturally half yours and half mine."
Shang Jianqiu immediately thanked him.
Xieyang's lips twitched. "Miss, look at her. Her expression changes so quickly. She doesn't even think about the fact that she was seen by these two ladies today. What about next time?"
Shang Jianqiu was no longer happy when he heard this.
Lin Qingjun laughed heartily, "I never thought that Boss Shang would be controlled by a little girl one day. How bizarre, how bizarre."
"But don't worry, if they come again next time, you can give it to them again. But this time it's on a first-come, first-served basis. That way, they won't have any complaints, and you won't have to worry about offending any of them."
This is the only foolproof plan.
After hearing this, Shang Jianqiu looked at Lin Qingjun seriously again and said with great emotion.
"Second Miss Lin, I never thought that you, despite your young age, could be more experienced and insightful than me."
"You're right. The transaction was indeed based on first come, first served. I misjudged it. I panicked at the time, which led to the situation at that time."
"Miss Lin Er, you really woke me up with a single word. Come on, come on, whatever you want today, just pick it and I'll give it all to you."
As he said that, Shang Jianqiu was about to pull Lin Qingjun out.
Lin Qingjun waved his hand, "Don't panic. Now that things have come to this, I have something else I want to give you. Please do me a favor."
