Chapter 447 Where’s the Silver? !
Zhou Yunyi originally disliked Yu Yongbai to the extreme, and was provoked by Yu Yongbai's few words. He immediately became red-faced and sneered, saying in a rough voice: "Okay, don't you want to wait until I finish choosing before buying? I want all three! Let's see what you buy!"
Wang Jiajia was incredulously surprised. Without waiting for Zhou Yunyi to say anything, she immediately hugged Zhou Yunyi's arm and said timidly, "Yilang, you are so kind to me! You actually want to buy me three pieces of warm jade? Isn't that too expensive?"
The shopkeeper immediately said, "My God, young lady, you are so lucky to have such a loving husband. He can buy a piece of jade worth six thousand taels of silver just by asking for it. It's really enviable!"
"Six, six thousand taels?!" Zhou Yunyi's expression was a little distorted.
Even Wang Jiajia took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "Yi, Yilang, how about, how about forgetting it?"
Zhou Yunyi was just about to respond when he heard Yu Yongbai chuckle, the sarcasm in his voice almost overflowing.
Yu Yongbai took out a stack of banknotes, slapped them on the table, and said slowly, "It's all right, shopkeeper. It seems that some people are just trying to show off their wealth. They think six thousand taels is too expensive and don't want it. I have money, so I don't mind the price of this top-grade warm jade. It's just right. Come on, pack up these three pieces of top-grade warm jade for me. My sister is precious and deserves such good things. As for some people, others are reluctant to buy them such good things. It's nothing more than that in their hearts, they don't deserve it."
Every word of these words hit Zhou Yunyi in the heart, and he was almost convulsed by Yu Yongbai's yin and yang. Wang Jiajia's eyes were red and tears were in her eyes. She looked at Zhou Yunyi and wanted to say something but stopped.
The blood rushed straight to Zhou Yunyi's brain!
The shopkeeper knew the right moment. Seeing that Zhou Yunyi was so angry that he lost his mind, he smiled and said to Yu Yongbai, "My dear guest, I will pack up these three pieces of top-grade water mist warm jade for you."
Before Yu Yongbai could even finish his "OK", Zhou Yunyi slammed the table with a red face and said, "I want them all! Pack them all for me!"
"It's only six thousand taels! I have plenty of money!"
Wang Jiajia shouted in surprise: "Yilang~"
Yu Yongbai also clapped his hands, "What a touching and true love. For a beautiful woman's smile, he is willing to spend six thousand taels of silver." Yu Yongbai made a "please" gesture, "Mr. Zhou, these three pieces of top-grade water mist warm jade are yours... But, do you have enough money to pay?"
Zhou Yunyi glared at Yu Yongbai fiercely and said angrily, "What do you care? I am the legitimate son of the Marquis of Weibei. I don't even care about a mere 6,000 taels!"
As he spoke, Zhou Yunyi raised his chin slightly and asked the shopkeeper to wrap it up for him: "I'll ask the cashier to send you the money later!"
It is common for these dignitaries to go out and buy things by registering at major stores.
The same can naturally be said of the Treasure Pavilion.
However, at this moment Yu Yongbai gave the shopkeeper a look without saying anything.
The shopkeeper understood and immediately said with an embarrassed look: "...No, my dear, our shop is a small business. The three pieces of top-grade water mist warm jade in your hand are the treasures of our shop. Our boss has long instructed that the money must be exchanged with the goods... Otherwise, you can have a cup of tea in our shop first, and let your attendant go back home to get the silver, which is the same?"
Zhou Yunyi frowned: "What do you mean!"
He was about to ask, but Yu Yongbai smiled and said, "...Shopkeeper, please don't make things difficult for Mr. Zhou. I can pay you the money right away, or you can just sell it to me."
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "This..."
Things had come to this point, and Zhou Yunyi could not let these three pieces of warm jade fall into Yu Yongbai's hands. He gritted his teeth and told his attendant to go back to the mansion to get the silver:
"Go get the right cards from my mother and withdraw the money from the bank."
After a pause, Zhou Yunyi lowered his voice uncomfortably and whispered, "Remember to stay away from my father, especially my grandmother."
The chief attendant took the order and left.
Yu Yongbai was not in a hurry to leave at this moment. He was leisurely looking at something on the side.
Zhou Yunyi really saw that he was causing trouble everywhere, so he asked coldly, "What are you still doing here?"
Yu Yongbai smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, what you said is strange. You have already bought all three pieces of top-grade water mist warm jade. I have to pick some others for my sister, right? Besides..."
Yu Yongbai smiled leisurely, "Who knows, some people are just pretending to be rich even if they don't have any money? Then this top-grade water mist warm jade may end up in my hands."
Zhou Yunyi really wanted to beat Yu Yongbai's face to pieces. He said coldly, "Then you just wait!"
Zhou Yunyi flicked his sleeves and took Wang Jiajia to the private room of Zhenbao Pavilion to drink tea.
After more than half an hour, the attendant came back empty-handed.
Even through the door of the private room, one could hear the furious voice inside asking, "Where's the money?! Didn't you tell my mom that I need it urgently?!"
The long-servant knelt there and cried, "Young Master, I went to find the Marquis's wife, but she said that the old lady had collected the housekeeper's cards for some time..."
Zhou Yunyi was so angry that he went crazy, but there was nothing he could do.
The sound of Wang Jiajia sobbing could be heard from the elegant room.
When Zhou Yunyi and Wang Jiajia walked out of the elegant room with gloomy faces, the shopkeeper who had received Yu Yongbai's order almost immediately came to greet them with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, I see your attendant is back. Which bank's banknotes do you want to use to settle the account?"
Zhou Yunyi's face turned red and his neck became thick. He stammered for a long time and couldn't say anything.
The shopkeeper was very patient and smiled: "Mr. Zhou?"
Yu Yongbai watched coldly from the side, and took the opportunity to say with a smile: "Oh, our noble young master of Weibei Marquisate, is he out of money? You should have said it earlier, it would have been worth it for me to wait here for so long——"
Zhou Yunyi couldn't stand it any longer, his eyes flushed: "Shut up!"
As he said that, he gritted his teeth, turned his head and said to Wang Jiajia beside him: "Jiajia, wait for me here! I'll go get the money!"
With tears in her eyes, Wang Jiajia looked at Zhou Yunyi expectantly: "Yilang, I'll wait for you."
Obviously, she was reluctant to give up those three pieces of top-grade water mist warm jade.
Zhou Yunyi strode out of the Treasure Pavilion, jumped on his horse, turned his horse's head, and headed straight in a certain direction.
Yu Yongbai couldn't help but exclaim.
This direction...
It doesn’t seem to be the direction of Weibei Marquis’ Mansion.
Yu Yongbai's heart moved slightly.
Most of the Gong family's shops deal in furs and cloth. This direction seems to be the direction of the Gong family's shops, right?
Yu Yongbai was a little doubtful. Could it be possible?
He just wanted to laugh at Zhou Yunyi's joke. Zhou Yunyi wouldn't go to the shop of his ex-fiancée whom he had betrayed to ask for money, right?
