Shu Jiaying immediately asked the boss, "Excuse me, how much is this bottle?"
"I already want this bottle. Who are you? Just because the bottle is on the table doesn't mean it's already been reserved."
“…”
How could Shu Jiaying see it, because the bottle was indeed placed on the table, but the woman came out from the compartment inside, and it was a narrow encounter.
Shu Jiaying recognized that the woman who was angrily scolding her was the wife of a certain general whom she had met at the silk shop in Fengyun Town, and the general's wife's servile maid Qing'er.
Of course, Shu Jiaying now seems like a completely different person, so Ji Hongmei and Qing'er naturally can't recognize her.
Ji Hongmei looked up and down at Shu Jiaying, who was dressed better than ordinary girls. She guessed that she had never seen this woman in Ningcheng, and she had no impression of the handsome man next to the woman, so they should not be native to Ningcheng.
These two outsiders dared to snatch things from her. They were really fed up with life. Ji Hongmei handed the emerald green bottle to Qing'er.
"Please put it away for me. I don't want anyone to think about it anymore."
"Yes ma'am."
Taking the bottle, Qing'er looked at Shu Jiaying proudly with a victorious attitude, then she put the bottle into her sleeve.
"Why……"
"What are you talking about? This bottle belongs to my general's wife. If you know what's best for you, leave now. Otherwise, you'll end up in trouble and cry."
“…”
Shu Jiaying just wanted to remind Qing'er that there was a hole in the inner pocket of her sleeve, and if she put the bottle in the pocket, the bottle would fall out.
But they don’t appreciate it?
Forget it, I didn’t buy the bottle myself anyway, so I can just look at something else.
Shu Jiaying was too lazy to argue with such a shrew. She took Yu Chenfeng's hand and planned to go to the inner compartment to see if there were any more exquisite bottles.
"Why……"
At this time, another voice stopped Ji Hongmei.
This time the person who called was the owner of the ceramic shop.
"Mrs. Zhuang, please stay!"
"What else do you want?"
Ji Hongmei stopped and looked at the boss with impatience.
Although the boss was intimidated by Ji Hongmei's identity as General's wife, he still had to pay even if the emperor came to buy something, because he was not running a charity.
Gritting his teeth, the owner of the ceramic shop said to Ji Hongmei, "Madam Zhuang, the total price of the jade vase you bought is one tael of silver. Look at this money..."
Ji Hongmei smiled speechlessly. She pointed at the boss's nose and cursed, "Look at you, you don't think I want to cheat you out of this bottle, do you? I think you really have a problem with your brain. Don't you know me?"
"No, no, I naturally know Madam Zhuang, but I only run a small business, and I have a whole family to support..."
"I think you're really not very smart. Since you know me, when the time comes, you can take the bill to the General's Mansion accounting office to withdraw it. Is this your first day doing business with me?"
In fact, it was because Ji Hongmei asked the boss to take the bill to the cashier's office to settle the bill that the boss had such a headache. Because sometimes Ji Hongmei forgets things after buying them, if she doesn't remember what she bought, she will definitely not acknowledge it, so the boss couldn't take back her bills several times.
Given his past experience, the boss felt it would be better to settle the silver transaction in person. He insisted, "Madam Zhuang, this bottle is not expensive, only one or two taels of silver. And after you pay me, I will also pay the craftsman for the workmanship. After all, it is not easy for him to make such an exquisite bottle."
