"Princess, these two young ladies took a liking to this hairpin first. Our shop also has other new styles. Shall I take you to have a look?"
Wei Yinshuang sneered, "Have you thought this through? If you offend this princess, today will be the last day your shop is open for business."
The waiter's face turned pale. He had just heard this young lady call her Princess Fengxi. Everyone in the capital knew that Princess Fengxi was backed by the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, and she was not someone their small shop could afford to offend.
“This…” The waiter turned to Su Ruojin and Xing Yue, “Ladies, why don’t you choose some other styles?”
If this were in Yunqi, Xing Yue would have already started cursing at someone like Wei Yingshuang, and even resorted to violence.
But this was in the Great Chu, and she was unaware of the situation. Afraid of causing trouble for Xiao Jin, she could only clench her fists tightly and endure it.
Su Ruojin noticed Xing Yue's anger and gently patted her hand to indicate that she was alright.
Su Ruojin looked at Wei Yingshuang and asked, "Princess Fengxi, are you sure you want to buy this hairpin?"
"What? Is it not allowed?" Wei Yingshuang looked at Su Ruojin provocatively.
She didn't necessarily need to buy these two hairpins; she just wanted to make Su Ruojin unhappy.
Su Ruojin's displeasure makes her happy.
"Since we both have our eyes on this hairpin, why don't we have a fair bidding process, with the highest bidder winning? I wonder if Princess Fengxi dares to do so?"
“Let’s compete then, what’s there to be afraid of! I’ll bid two thousand taels.” Wei Yingshuang stated her price directly.
These two hairpins were previously priced at 1,000 taels each, but due to a discount event, they are now 800 taels each, totaling 1,600 taels.
Wei Yinshuang immediately added four hundred taels.
"Two thousand five hundred." Su Ruojin raised the price.
"Three thousand taels."
"Three thousand five."
"four thousand."
"Four thousand five."
"Five thousand." Wei Yingshuang ignored Su Ruojin's asking price and simply pushed the price away.
"Waiter, give this hairpin to Princess Fengxi." Su Ruojin gave up.
The waiter replied happily, "Yes, yes, I'll wrap it up right away."
Wei Yingshuang said smugly, "Su Ruojin, you think you can compete with me if you don't have money? You don't even know your own worth."
Xing Yue was so angry at Wei Yingshuang's arrogant attitude that she wanted to hit her, but she had run away this time and only brought five thousand taels with her. She had already bought some things before, so she really couldn't come up with that much money now.
"Xiao Jin, I'm sorry." Xing Yue felt that she was the one who caused Xiao Jin to be bullied.
No, she had to find a way to make money; she couldn't let Xiaojin suffer like this again because of money.
But all she knows is how to fight; she doesn't know how to make money.
By the way, you can learn from Su Yiting!
Xing Yue made up her mind to go back to Su Yiting to learn how to do business and earn money for Xiao Jinhua.
Su Ruojin had no idea that in that instant, Xing Yue had already thought of so much, even considering learning business from Fifth Brother to earn money for her.
The waiter packed the hairpin into a jewelry box and handed it to Wei Yingshuang. She accepted the five thousand taels of silver notes, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
If a deal worth 1,600 taels is turned into 5,000 taels, I can earn a substantial commission and have a good New Year.
Wei Yingshuang waved the hairpin in her hand. "Princess Chang Le, remember to bring more money next time you go out."
Wei Yingshuang felt incredibly pleased to have humiliated Su Ruojin, and turned to leave haughtily.
Su Ruojin spoke to Xing Yue in a slow and deliberate manner, her voice just loud enough for Wei Yingshuang to hear.
Wei Yingshuang suddenly stopped and glared angrily at Su Ruojin.
"Su Ruojin, you dare to play me!!!"
