Han Xiao felt like he had found the fun of role-playing while selecting suitable items for the young master. He wanted to try everything on the young master. There were already several items on the plate held by Chuyi behind him.
The young master had a worried look on his face. What should he do since his brother Han Xiao was so good at spending money? He didn't know if his own small treasury would be enough. If he had known this earlier, he would have asked his father for more money when he came to Wanbao Tower today.
Watching Han Xiaoyou pick up a jade crown, the jade crown was in the shape of a lotus and was decorated with some pearl accessories. It looked very beautiful, and the young master showed an expression of liking when he saw it.
The headmaster had been standing behind Han Xiao without interrupting him. Seeing that Han Xiao was very fond of the jade crown, he stepped forward to explain, "Young Master, you have good taste. This is a new model launched in the capital. It just arrived today. The jade used is Nanyang warm jade. It has a lustrous color and is warm to the touch. It also has the effect of nourishing the body and mind. The young men in the capital love it very much."
Seeing that the young master also liked it, Han Xiao said, "Then wrap this up too."
When the manager saw that Han Xiao didn't even ask about the price, he became even more respectful towards Han Xiao and quickly asked someone to pack it for Han Xiao.
As a result, Chen Jiabao came over with an angry face and said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Cui, why don't you ask if this poor boy can afford it?"
Manager Cui saw the smile on Chen Jiabao's face fade and said, "Young Master Chen, please don't worry about that."
Then he signaled to his servant to pack it up quickly to avoid any further trouble.
Chen Jiabao was furious at Cui's cold attitude. "Well, I want to see how this young master pays for this. You know, this jade crown is very valuable, at least 500 taels. This young master should let us have a look."
Those who can go up to the second floor to choose are generally either rich or noble. 500 taels of silver is a considerable amount of money for these young men who are kept in seclusion. Therefore, although many people look at this jade crown, very few of them can make up their minds to buy it.
Chen Jiabao was one of them. He had originally planned to wait a few days to go back and ask his father for some silver when his father was in a good mood. However, he did not expect that the blind manager Cui would actually give it to Ruan Zhu today.
No matter how dissatisfied he was with the Ruan family's financial resources, it was undeniable that Ruan Zhu was very favored in the Ruan family. Not to mention a 500-tael hair crown, even if it was the stars in the sky, as long as Ruan Zhu wanted them, Master Ruan would find a way to pick them down for him.
So when he saw that the jade crown was about to fall into Ruan Zhu's hands again, Chen Jiabao could no longer control the expression on his face, and could only satisfy the imbalance in his heart by slandering Han Xiao.
"The Chen family lives by the sea, don't they? Why do they care so much?" Han Xiao took out a silver note from his pocket and handed it to Manager Cui.
Then he added, "Manager Cui, I need to pick out a few things for my mother. Do you think there are any suitable ones?"
No longer paying attention to Chen Jiabao's madness, Han Xiao bought New Year's jewelry with the elders in the family since he was here today.
Manager Cui looked at the banknotes in Han Xiao's hand, and the wrinkles on his face deepened. "Yes, yes, please wait a moment, sir. I'll go get it."
As Cui turned and left, the young master secretly tugged at Han Xiao's clothes: "Brother Han Xiao, do you have enough money? If not, I have more here."
Although he saw Han Xiao take out the silver note and give it to Manager Cui, the young master didn't know how much he gave, and was still a little worried that Han Xiao would not have enough silver on him to buy so many things.
Han Xiao pinched the young master's nose and said, "Ruanruan, are you going to give me the small treasury?"
The young master nodded repeatedly without any hesitation. Han Xiao felt sweet in his heart. Ruanruan was so cute.
"Don't worry, I have enough money. I made a lot of money yesterday, so I still have enough money to buy jewelry for Ruanruan."
The young master was still a little skeptical, but he still secretly told Chuyi that if Han Xiao didn't have enough money, he would pay for it himself and not let his brother Han Xiao know.
When Chuyi heard the young master's whisper, he looked at Han Xiao with an increasingly strange look, just like a pig trying to get cabbage. His young master was such a good person, why did he fall in love with Han Xiao? Who would pay for a song for their fiancée? Chuyi felt tired, but he still took the young master's words to heart.
However, Chuyi was still very surprised that Han Xiao could come up with so much money. After all, according to the information found by the Ruan family, the Han family was not rich.
Manager Cui came over with a tray filled with gold and silver jewelry, which was very dazzling.
Han Xiao took a few looks and picked out a hairpin that was heavy enough with his mother. He picked out a longevity lock for the twins. As for Mrs. Ruan, Han Xiao asked the young master to help choose one.
The young master hesitated for a long time and finally chose a bracelet. Han Xiao understood that the young master was trying to save him money, so he put the bracelets together as a pair. Although they were not as good as the young master's jade crown, the jade quality and workmanship were also quite good.
After making their selections, they asked Manager Cui to pack the items in boxes, and then they went upstairs to pay.
Although Chen Jiabao was far away from them, the second floor was only a small space, so he could still see every move clearly. Seeing that Han Xiao had really paid the bill, he knew that he had no chance of getting this jade crown.
Chen Jiabao was so angry that he tore the handkerchief in his hand into pieces. The servant who followed Chen Jiabao trembled and dared not speak. He lowered his head and pretended that he did not exist.
"Alas, some things should not be said too early, otherwise it will be very painful when you get slapped in the face, don't you think so, Master Chen?"
A young man in brocade clothes said with a smile that it was very interesting to read the gossip all day long. Others were afraid of the Chen family and dared not speak, but he was not afraid.
Chen Jiabao looked at the guy who was talking, glared at him fiercely, and turned away. He didn't want to stay in this place for a moment.
After the lords left, there was no more excitement to watch, and the second floor returned to its previous harmonious state.
The young master was pulled out of the gate of Wanbao Tower by Han Xiao, still with a sad look on his face. How come Brother Han Xiao is better at spending money than him?
Looking at the young master's expression, I knew what he was thinking: "Don't worry, although I don't have much savings, I still have enough for your betrothal gift."
The young master was angry out of shame, who would have thought of this?
Seeing that the young master was about to get angry, Han Xiao quickly took him in his arms and said, "Let's go. Where else do you want to go today? I'll take you there."
The young master met Chen Jiabao today and was not very nice, so he shook his head.
Han Xiao thought about it. The town was small and there was nothing particularly fun to do. Going to Yipinlou was too noisy. The young master liked quietness, so let's go back.
The young master was also tired, so he followed Han Xiao into the carriage. Seeing that the young master looked unhappy, Han Xiao wrapped him up and put him on his lap: "What's wrong? Why is Ruanruan unhappy?"
The young master shook his head. He didn't know what was going on. He was originally very happy to be out with Brother Han Xiao, but now he felt a little uninterested.
