"I also want this red hairpin from the shopkeeper."
Guan Mengyan and his men came over again.
The shopkeeper came over and took a look at it: "Miss, this red hairpin costs one hundred taels."
"One hundred taels is one hundred taels. I want it."
"Boss, I want the one hundred and fifty taels." Ye Qianning did not give in.
Guan Mengyan was stunned and looked at her grimly.
Ye Qianning shrugged.
"Two hundred taels." Guan Mengyan immediately took out the silver note from his sleeve and threw it to the shopkeeper.
"Three hundred taels."
"You... four hundred taels."
"Five hundred taels."
Guan Mengyan gritted her teeth, and the little sisters behind her also began to pull her.
"Five hundred taels, do you have that much money? Why are you pretending?" Guan Mengyan knew the Zhan family. They were not rich, and Concubine Zhan was not favored. He had even seen the Zhan family selling things that were valuable.
How could a godparent possibly come up with five hundred taels?
Ye Qianning was very calm: "You don't care whether I can get it or not. If this lady doesn't want it, just stand aside."
Guan Mengyan had never been humiliated like this before: "Six hundred taels."
"Seven hundred taels."
Guan Mengyan gritted his teeth, met Ye Qianning's provocative eyes, and said, "Eight hundred taels."
"Nine hundred taels."
Guan Mengyan was very angry.
Qi Yun also pulled Ye Qianning slightly. Nine hundred taels is not a small amount.
"It's okay. Although my family is not very rich, we can still afford nine hundred taels." Ye Qianning said with a smile.
“…”
Not rich, nine hundred taels...
What does it look like to be rich?
"One thousand taels."
The fat on Guan Mengyan's face was trembling a little, but he still pretended to be proud and provocative.
Ye Qianning lowered his eyes slightly and remained silent.
Seeing this, Guan Mengyan became proud again: "Why, you're not adding anymore?"
"No, Miss Guan is very powerful. I am ashamed of myself."
Well, I am ashamed of myself!
Guan Mengyan smiled.
"Shopkeeper, why are you still standing there? Help this young lady pick up the red hairpin." Ye Qianning urged.
The shopkeeper came back to his senses and immediately packed up the red hairpin, put it in a box and handed it over: "Miss, one thousand taels."
Guan Mengyan felt embarrassed after being proud for a moment. It seemed that she only brought 300 taels with her when she went out today.
"What's the matter, miss? You just quoted a very aggressive price. Don't you have money to pay?" Ye Qianning looked exaggeratedly surprised.
"Who... who said I don't have money to pay?" Guan Mengyan said, turning around and looking at the sisters who followed him: "I didn't bring so much money when I went out today. Take out the banknotes and I will return them to you tomorrow."
The group of young ladies looked at each other, all feeling a little embarrassed.
"What are you looking at? Take it out. I won't let you get away with it." Guan Mengyan said as he started to take it out.
"Miss Guan, these two hundred taels are what my mother asked me to buy a birthday gift for my grandmother. You...you have to return it to me later."
"Miss Guan, my mother also asked me to buy a gift..."
“…”
"I know, I know."
The four young ladies from official families just managed to pool together a thousand taels.
Guan Mengyan held the banknote and shook it in front of Ye Qianning to show off, and then handed it to the shopkeeper.
Ye Qianning didn't care and his eyes lingered among the various jewelry boxes.
Madam Qi watched from the side and shook her head: "Miss Guan is really stupid. She spent a thousand taels to buy a red hairpin. Madam Guan will probably be mad to death when she gets home."
Madam Zhan knew that she was being very kind by giving her granddaughter only one thousand taels.
"Madam Zhan, your godson is quite capable. She actually dares to argue with Miss Guan. The price is nine hundred taels. If Miss Guan doesn't continue to bid, then the Zhan family will have to pay the nine hundred taels." Madam Qi implied something.
Madam Zhan laughed and said, "Nine hundred taels is nothing."
"Nine hundred taels is not too much? The Zhan family is really generous." Mrs. Qi was a little surprised.
"Don't misunderstand, Madam Qi. The Zhan family has been in a recession in recent years, and I, your adopted granddaughter, am spending my own money."
Madam Qi glanced at Ye Qianning suspiciously: "Nine hundred taels without blinking an eye."
Madam Zhan just smiled and didn't respond.
Nine hundred taels was nothing. Thinking back to the gold deposit notes she had sent to the Zhan family a few days ago, they were worth a full forty or fifty million taels...
I have never seen so much money in my life.
Guan Mengyan did not leave after buying it, with a smug look of a winner on his face.
"Miss Guan, we are all here to buy jewelry, why do this?" Qi Yun acted as a peacemaker.
Guan Mengyan glanced at her and said, "Yeah, everyone comes here to buy jewelry. Naturally, whoever has more money can buy it. Who can you blame if you don't have money?"
Qi Yun was blocked and couldn't say much, so she could only pull Ye Qianning to look at something else.
Ye Qianning didn't move, and looked at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, do you have any jewelry that is worth keeping?"
"Yes, but the price is..."
Before the shopkeeper could finish his words, Ye Qianning took out a stack of gold deposit notes from his sleeve, and the shopkeeper's eyes widened.
"Okay, I'll get it right away."
The shopkeeper walked to the back in a hurry.
Qi Yun's eyes widened in shock when she saw the gold banknotes. The gold banknotes all had a face value of 10,000 taels each, and the stack she casually pulled out looked like there were more than a dozen...
Guan Mengyan also saw it clearly, and the pride he just felt turned into horror.
The little sisters behind her were completely stunned.
They all came from well-off families, but they had never seen a gold deposit note with a face value of 10,000 taels.
"you……"
Guan Mengyan was completely dumbfounded. She actually had a gold deposit note worth hundreds of thousands of taels.
Everything she had just done was undoubtedly like being slapped hard in the face by this stack of gold deposit slips, and it burned.
Ye Qianning turned his head and glanced at her face, which looked not sure whether it was anger or shame, and smiled slightly.
See, in the face of super powers, she doesn't even have to say a word to terrify them.
The shopkeeper came out from the back with two beautiful wooden boxes in his hands: "Miss, this set of jewelry was just shipped to the capital two days ago. Take a look."
The first box was opened, revealing a set of jewelry, including bracelets, earrings and two hairpins.
The moment the box was opened, everyone nearby looked over with amazement in their eyes.
"Oh my god, it's so beautiful." Qi Yun exclaimed.
Ye Qianning picked up the pair of earrings. They were high-quality diamond earrings with exquisite design. They were a good thing.
The bracelet has a unique pattern and is inlaid with a circle of diamonds. It looks very beautiful under the light. The tassel pendant on the hairpin and the crystal diamonds are extremely eye-catching.
"Oh, it's so beautiful." Mrs. Qi also came over.
Mrs. Zhan was not interested in jewelry, but the jewelry in front of her was indeed beautiful, and her granddaughter would definitely look good wearing it.
Guan Mengyan couldn't take her eyes off the jewelry.
"Shopkeeper, how much is it?"
The one who asked the price was Guan Mengyan.
"Two thousand taels."
"Okay, okay, I want it." Guan Mengyan spoke immediately as if he was afraid that someone else would snatch it away.
"This...Miss, our store only accepts cash."
The shopkeeper is not the kind of person who looks down on others, but considering that this young lady just asked for one thousand taels and there were only a few people there, he probably couldn't come up with two thousand taels.
"I'll send someone back to get it..."
"The shopkeeper will wrap it up."
Ye Qianning took out a gold deposit note and handed it over.
The shopkeeper smiled happily: "Okay."
Guan Mengyan paused and became annoyed: "I saw this first."
"Whoever pays first gets it." Ye Qianning imitated her tone just now.
“You…you…”
Guan Mengyan was very angry.
Mrs. Qi was shocked when Ye Qianning spoke, and when she saw the thick stack of gold deposit notes, her eyes almost popped out.
They are all 12,000 yuan each...
Oh my god, how much money does this girl have?
"Qian Ning."
When Gu Chi came back from patrolling the store, he saw Ye Qianning standing in front of the counter as soon as he entered the door. He was delighted and hurried forward.
Ye Qianning turned around and saw Gu Chi's eyebrows and eyes were filled with smiles: "Second Uncle."
Madam Qi and Guan Mengyan both recognized Gu Chi, and were quite surprised to hear him call them "Second Uncle".
Gu Chi walked forward and saluted Madam Zhan first, then walked to Ye Qianning: "At least tell me you're coming."
"I just came out of the old house with my grandma, and came to take a look on a whim."
"Take a look and see if there's anything that catches your eye." Gu Chi said before noticing the jewelry boxes on the counter: "Is this the one you're interested in?"
"Yeah." Ye Qianning nodded.
"Shopkeeper, wrap it up." Gu Chi ordered.
The shopkeeper glanced at Ye Qianning and Gu Chi for a few seconds, then handed the gold deposit note back to them.
Gu Chi saw the shopkeeper handing money to Ye Qianning, and he immediately knew what to do: "Shopkeeper Peng, this is my niece. From now on, you don't have to charge for anything in the store."
"Yes, yes, yes."
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, placed the gold deposit slip directly on the stack, and turned around to wrap the jewelry.
"Second uncle, how can I let you spend money? I have money." Ye Qianning pushed the gold deposit note next to him.
Gu Chi smiled and said, "I didn't have time to prepare a gift for you last time. Consider this set of jewelry as a token of my second uncle's appreciation."
"This is too valuable, Qian Ning cannot accept it."
"You call me Second Uncle. We are family. There's no such thing as expensive or inexpensive for family members. Just like it."
Gu Chi smiled like a fool.
Mrs. Qi didn't know why she was so jealous. She gave her second uncle thousands of taels of jewelry without blinking an eye. He was so generous.
Guan Mengyan was even more envious. She was not as good as him in terms of money, but he just called her Second Uncle without even asking for money.
Madam Zhan didn't expect that the eldest branch of the Gu family would be so straightforward. In her memory, hadn't the branches of the Gu family always been at odds?
Why is he so nice to her granddaughter?
The shopkeeper handed over the packaged jewelry: "Miss."
"Qianning, do you have anything else you like? I'll ask the shopkeeper to pack them all up." Gu Chi asked with a smile.
"there is none left."
Ye Qianning looked at the jewelry box, then looked at the gold deposit note on the table and seemed a little distressed: "Second Uncle, I came here to spend money, you can't let me not spend money."
“…”
“…”
How should I put it? This is quite hurtful.
Especially when Guan Mengyan heard it, it was quite embarrassing.
Guan Mengyan's face was dark and he couldn't say a word at this point. After all, the gold deposit note was right there.
Even if she went home and sold their Guan Mansion, she wouldn't get that much.
What to compare with.
The hairpin in her hand made it even more ironic.
The young ladies standing nearby all looked at the box in Guan Mengyan's hand. He bought something worth dozens of taels for a thousand taels. I really don't know what he was thinking.
"Save the money to buy other things." Gu Chi said with a smile.
"But I don't have any other places to spend money in Beijing. Second uncle, if you don't take the money today, I won't dare to come here again in the future." Ye Qianning said as he pushed the box.
Gu Chi really wanted to be nice to her, but when he saw her refusing, he sighed, "Okay, the shopkeeper will take ten taels of silver from her."
Shopkeeper: “…”
Ye Qianning: “…”
“…”
Ten taels of silver?
Two thousand taels of silver became ten taels of silver in his mouth...
Guan Mengyan felt like a huge stone was pressing on her heart. She spent one thousand taels to buy a hairpin, but she could have bought an extremely luxurious set of jewelry with ten taels. She was so angry.
"Miss." The housekeeper spoke weakly.
Ye Qianning pinched a stack of gold deposit notes. Having said that, if she refused again, it would really hurt people's feelings.
I originally wanted to increase the Gu family's performance...
Speaking of the gold deposit note, she fished out a silver note from her sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper took it and turned around to find the money.
"Thank you, second uncle."
Ye Qianning held the jewelry box in her hand.
"What's there to thank me for? From now on, just tell your uncle if you like anything and he will get it for you. I guarantee it's unique." Gu Chi smiled with a worthless look on his face.
"good."
"Look again, is there really nothing you like?" Gu Chi asked.
Ye Qianning smiled and shook his head.
Guan Mengyan stood aside with a dark face, and the younger sisters couldn't move her even if they pushed her.
Qi Yun's eyes were fixed on the box in Ye Qianning's hand. She had never seen such luxurious and beautiful jewelry before.
Gu Chi looked at Madam Zhan again: "Madam Zhan, is there anything you like?"
"No, no." Madam Zhan had never come into contact with anyone from the Gu family's main branch, and she never knew that the Gu family's son was so kind.
Madam Qi stood aside with a smile on her face: "Master Gu is really generous."
"It's what family members should do." Gu Chi nodded politely and looked at Madam Zhan: "Have Madam Zhan and Qian Ning eaten yet?"
"I've eaten." Madam Zhan said with a smile.
"Second uncle, you just came back and you probably haven't eaten yet. Why don't I treat you to dinner?"
Gu Chi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Qian Ning is treating me to a meal, so Second Uncle will definitely have a big meal."
Seeing that the two had a good relationship, Madam Zhan felt relieved: "You two can go ahead. I am old and will not get involved."
Ye Qianning also knew that Madam Zhizhan didn't like crowds: "Grandma, I'll let Luo Wenyingge take you back home."
"No, you guys go ahead. I'll hang out with Madam Qi for a while. It'll be on the way back."
"Okay." Ye Qianning nodded, still a little worried: "Yingge, you stay with grandma."
"yes."
Yingge walked in dressed in black.
The cold aura and voice startled everyone in the shop.
Ye Qianning and Gu Chi went out.
Madam Qi stared at her for a long time before turning back and glancing at Yingge: "Madam Zhan, your granddaughter is no ordinary woman."
"Haha, just a little girl."
Mrs. Qi obviously didn't believe that a little girl could come up with so much gold in savings notes at once?
Looking around the capital, even the royal family can't afford it.
"Miss Guan, you have to return the money to me later, otherwise I won't be able to explain myself when I go back."
"Me too. My mother asked me to come buy a gift. If I go back empty-handed, she'll be mad..."
"Miss Guan..."
The little sisters surrounding Guan Mengyan only dared to ask for it after Ye Qianning left.
Madam Qi and Madam Zhan also looked over.
Guan Mengyan's face was already ugly, and now it was even more green and red: "Who would owe you money? Wait, I will go back to the mansion and have someone send it to you. Don't come to play with me in the future."
He threw down these words and rushed out the door.
The sisters looked at each other and hurried out.
