Chapter 1062: Bargaining Genius
Compared to the usual hustle and bustle, the first floor of Wanbao Pavilion is exceptionally quiet today.
In the hall, some of the most distinguished people in the capital were accompanying four children to choose things!
Although the area was not cleared, no one dared to disturb them.
The boss of Wanbao Pavilion, who rushed over after receiving the news, was now like an ordinary servant, standing respectfully behind the counter, serving the little ancestors personally with a smile on his face.
"This pearl flower is so beautiful. Would you like to wear it on you, Grandpa Emperor?" The emperor held a red pearl flower and gestured at the two small tufts of hair on Dao Mang's head.
Daomang glanced at Zhuhua with a look of disgust on his face: "No, the color of your Zhuhua doesn't match the clothes I'm wearing today."
Despite being ruthlessly rejected, the emperor was not unhappy at all. Instead, he smiled and praised: "Our Daomang is really smart. At such a young age, he knows that buying jewelry should match the clothes. It's amazing."
When Daomang was praised, he showed a proud little expression.
When the emperor picked up another pearl flower, the little girl decisively held his hand and said, "Oh, Grandpa Emperor, you let me choose for myself. You are not a child anymore. You don't know what children like."
The Emperor: "...Okay, okay, you can choose. Grandpa will be watching from the side and won't disturb you."
The eldest princes who were standing by were so shocked that their eyes widened when they saw their father, who was usually high and mighty, accommodating a little kid like this. They felt a little at a loss as to what to do.
If they were not certain that the man in front of them was their father, they would have thought that someone was impersonating the emperor!
Xiao Yeyang was the calmest among those present. After seeing how much his uncle doted on his daughter, he said that these were nothing.
Since his daughter was being taken care of by the emperor, Xiao Yeyang turned his attention to the rice seedlings and rice.
Seeing his two sons wanting this and that, and putting a lot of things into their arms, Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but remind them: "Everything in the store requires money. Think about it, do you have the money to buy so many things?"
Hearing this, Daozi was dumbfounded: "Didn't you let us choose whatever we want?"
Xiao Yeyang: "I let you choose for yourselves, but I didn't say I wouldn't give you money."
Daozi touched the shriveled purse around his waist and looked at the emperor eagerly.
The Emperor lets them choose whatever they want, which means he wants to help them pay the money, right?
The emperor heard the conversation between the father and son. Seeing Daozi looking at him eagerly, he just smiled and didn't say anything, wanting to see Daozi's reaction.
When Daozi saw that the emperor didn't respond, she had a bad feeling and looked at the items she had selected with a sullen look on her face...
At this moment, Dao Mang said domineeringly: "Don't be afraid, brother, I have money."
Seeing everyone looking at her, the little girl thought no one believed her, so she immediately patted her small shoulder bag generously and said, "I'm not short of money!"
The little girl's heroic look not only amused the emperor, but also the eldest princes, who were so cute that they couldn't help laughing.
Only Xiao Yeyang's mouth corners were twitching.
The girl only had a few gold and silver coins in her bag. She couldn't even afford a pearl flower, yet she was still showing off everywhere. She was really confident.
After some picking and choosing, the three siblings Daozi chose what they liked. Xiao Morong didn't intend to choose one, but Daozi forced one on him.
Now it’s time to pay the money...
The emperor and the eldest princes looked at Dao Mang leisurely. They didn't believe that the little girl really had that much silver on her. What would she do if she didn't have enough silver later?
Daomang slowly opened her small bag.
The small handbag was sewn by Daohua for her daughter herself, so that the little girl can carry some small personal items with her when she goes out.
After groping for a while, everyone saw the little girl take out two thumb-sized gold and silver ingots.
Daomang held the gold and silver ingots and thought for a while. Finally, he generously placed the silver ingots in front of the boss and asked, "Is that enough?"
Well……
The boss stared blankly at the small silver ingot. Even though he was usually eloquent, he didn't know how to respond at this moment.
The emperor and the eldest prince were also a little confused.
After a brief silence, the emperor burst into hearty laughter.
Seeing the emperor so happy, the boss quickly put away the small silver ingots and said to Daomang with a big smile on his face, "That's enough."
Dao Mang nodded with a smile, lowered his head to put the gold ingots into the small bag, and then tied it again.
The emperor patted Daomang's head lovingly and said, "You are such a bargaining expert!"
Something worth thousands of taels was directly bargained down to a few cents of silver.
When Dao Mang heard that Grandpa Huang was praising him again, a proud and complacent smile immediately appeared on his face.
At this moment, the eldest princes didn't know what expressions to make. Seeing how much the emperor doted on the little girl, they all wondered in their hearts whether their father liked his granddaughter more.
Otherwise, should they bring their daughters into the palace more often in the future?
After buying the things, the emperor and his entourage left Wanbao Pavilion.
Xiao Yeyang walked at the end and gave the silver his daughter had cut off to the boss.
The boss didn't want it, but this was the best opportunity to build relationships with Prince Heping's Mansion. Unfortunately, Xiao Yeyang didn't give him the chance to refuse.
…
"I'm so happy today, Grandpa Emperor. Are you happy?" Dao Mang, who bought the new pearl flowers, was in a very happy mood. She walked on the street holding the emperor's hand, jumping all the way, showing her innocence.
The emperor's eyes were filled with smiles: "Grandpa Emperor is also very happy."
When Dao Mang saw Xiao Yeyang following him, he immediately shouted, "Daddy, I love Grandpa Huang so much. Grandpa Huang is so kind. If I had known earlier, I would have come back to see him sooner."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but cough lightly, and looked at his daughter with some shame. His daughter had said something similar to her grandfather a few days ago...
Eunuch An, who was walking behind, couldn't help but twitch his mouth a few times. This little girl from the Weiyuan Wang family is really a wonderful girl. Has she forgotten that not long ago she treated them as thieves and wanted to catch them and beat them with a stick?
He was impressed by the speed of changing his expression!
…
After shopping, it was already late. Seeing that the emperor had no plans to return to the palace, Xiao Yeyang suggested that everyone go to Prince Ping's mansion for lunch.
The emperor nodded in agreement, and several princes naturally followed him. Even the eldest prince, who had a grudge against Prince Heping's palace, shamelessly followed.
Prince Ping's Mansion.
Prince Ping had just bought back the parrot that his grandchildren loved when his servants reported that the emperor and several princes had arrived.
Upon hearing that the emperor was coming, Prince Ping did not dare to delay and quickly went to greet the emperor.
When Prince Ping saw the emperor walking towards him, holding his little granddaughter and talking and laughing, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Would the royal brother not compete with him for the granddaughter?
Soon, the premonition came true.
After Prince Ping and the emperor exchanged greetings, he wanted to take his granddaughter from the emperor, but unfortunately, he was ruthlessly rejected by the emperor.
Seeing his grandfather's pitiful look because he couldn't hold his sister, the understanding rice seedling bravely stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, I'll hold her for you."
Prince Ping was happy that his grandson was close to him, but, grandson, what's with that coaxing expression on your face?
