Because of her job, Miss Lu had become quite familiar to many wealthy families and was once very popular.
Seeing that these four people looked unfamiliar and that they were not wearing many good pieces of jewelry, he did not take them seriously.
"Say it again?" Miss Lu's fingers were about to poke Liu Qinghuan on the head. Ye Heng reached out and pulled Liu Qinghuan behind him.
Even if Ye Heng's face didn't turn cold, it would be enough to make people drink half a pot of wine, not to mention that he was freezing cold now because he was bullied by Liu Qinghuan.
"You...why are you staring at me? Don't you know who I am, Lu Ping'er? I'm telling you...I'm telling you...take off your clothes and give them to me, or you'll be in trouble!"
The boss quickly stepped out to mediate, saying, "Don't be angry, Miss Lu. These people are from out of town and don't know you. Look, I have a skirt I made yesterday. I guarantee it will suit your taste."
When Lu Ping'er heard that he was from another place, she felt even more disdainful.
A few towns beyond Suzhou City are mountains, and the areas behind the mountains are very poor. Because Suzhou City is a land of fish and rice, with well-developed waterways, the locals live a relatively affluent life and tend to look down on those who come from poorer areas.
"I don't care. Leave the clothes to me today."
Lu Ping'er crossed her hands, looking very arrogant.
Liu Qinghuan slapped Ye Heng's hand away and came out, imitating the way Lu Ping'er had pointed at her just now. She stretched out a finger and pointed randomly in front of Lu Ping'er's eyes: "I told you that you are old, but you have to act like a demon. Look at you. You are almost thirty and still not married. Don't you think about why? Buying a skirt has to be based on first come first served. The shopkeeper and I have already agreed on the payment and the goods. This skirt is already mine. What? Are you still trying to force me to buy it?"
"It was obviously me who spoke first..." Lu Ping'er looked at Liu Qinghuan and Han Dai and thought they were very gentle. When Liu Qinghuan opened his mouth, Lu Ping'er was a little confused.
"What do you mean by first? You think you've made it? Just because you've deposited the money, does that mean it's a deal? This skirt costs ten taels of silver, and you can't even afford it, and you still have the nerve to threaten others? I smell the makeup on you, it's probably the kind you buy by the pound on the street, right? If I had rhinitis, I'd choke to death. And do you know who I am? Are you challenging me?"
Liu Qinghuan said something and pointed his finger at Lu Ping'er, and Lu Ping'er stepped back repeatedly.
"You, stop trying to scare me! Who could possibly be so powerful as to buy clothes in a shop like this? If you're capable, go buy them at Jinxiangyu!" Lu Ping'er had finally scraped together ten taels of silver at the Hundred Flowers Festival and was ready to show off her talents. Even if she wasn't chosen as a flower fairy, it would still be a rare opportunity to show off.
After Lu Ping'er finished speaking, the boss's face froze.
Although Lu Ping'er was telling the truth, and his shop was indeed only of mid-range quality, many of his items were very popular and had a very good reputation. It was no wonder the boss felt embarrassed to be slapped in the face like this.
"I'll let you go. I can afford the Jinxiangyu shop, and I don't mind this small shop. The clothes I'm wearing suit me very well. I'm not like some people who appear to be disgusted and disdainful but actually can't even afford them!" Liu Qinghuan kept calling her "old lady", and Han Dai wanted to cover his face.
"You...you!" Lu Ping'er was so angry at Liu Qinghuan that she didn't know what to say. She put pressure on the boss again: "Tell me, should this dress be given to me or to her?"
The boss was in a dilemma. Although Lu Ping'er was down and out, she still knew many important people, and he really couldn't afford to offend her.
But in business, there is no reason to take back what you have sold.
"Hehe, boss, don't worry." Liu Qinghuan sneered.
When Lu Ping'er heard Liu Qinghuan say this, she thought she was giving up. But the next second, Liu Qinghuan pointed at the guy who was packing her clothes and said, "We just changed out of them. Please send them to An Lin's residence for us and say they belong to Miss Liu. Today, I want to ask Uncle An, what kind of person is this Lu Ping'er!"
After Liu Qinghuan finished speaking, he pulled Ye Heng away, and Situ Yue and Han Dai quickly followed.
Lu Ping'er and the boss were left standing there, Lu Ping'er looking frightened and embarrassed.
After a while, he stammered, "She...she must be lying. Master An wouldn't recognize such a poor family. When you deliver the clothes to the An Mansion, be careful not to be kicked out!"
The boss rolled his eyes secretly. He believed what Liu Qinghuan said.
because……
Ye Heng paid the money readily, and his purse was bulging.
You can tell at first glance that he is not someone who is short of money.
A down-and-out prostitute challenging others, without a trace of tact. No wonder she was once famous in Suzhou City, but now no one cares about her anymore, let alone carries her into the house.
"Ms. Lu, would you like to buy this dress? I do have new styles here. Please take a look and I guarantee you will be satisfied." The boss did not respond to Lu Ping'er's words, but instead put on a professional fake smile and talked about business.
Lu Ping'er was so angry she wanted to just turn around and walk away. But this shop was the best she could afford, so she just had to hold back and said, "Why don't you show it to me?"
The boss turned around to get the goods, his face turned cold and he rolled his eyes.
Lu Ping'er picked and chose, complaining about this and that, and tried on several pieces. In the end, she didn't like any of the new styles, so she picked out a pastel-colored dress that she had her eye on for a long time.
The boss smiled and had the skirt wrapped up: "I just gave you ten taels, it's just right."
"Ten taels?" Lu Ping'er was not happy. "The last time I came, it was clearly eight taels of silver!"
The boss rolled his eyes in his heart and thought to himself, you know everything about the clothes in our store.
"The Hundred Flowers Festival is coming soon, and all the young ladies are coming here to buy new clothes, so I'm raising the price." The boss complained in his heart but didn't show it on his face, looking loyal and honest.
Lu Ping'er didn't know what to do. She hesitated for a long time, then her attitude changed immediately. She smiled and said, "Boss, I'm an old customer too. It's not a loss for you to sell it to me for eight taels of silver."
The boss had long since stopped wanting to serve her. In the past, he was wary of the bosses behind her. Now that Master An was involved, if she ever caused trouble for him again, he would go to Master An and tell him that Lu Ping'er was taking revenge on him because of Miss Liu, and he didn't believe Master An would just ignore it.
"Miss Lu is a distinguished person. Why bother bargaining with me for two taels of silver? Besides, if those girls knew I was giving you a discount, I wouldn't be able to do business with them anymore."
Lu Ping'er's face turned red and white, but she finally didn't ask for any more money and went out with the packed clothes.
The clothing store owner was very happy because he earned back the two taels of silver that Liu Qinghuan had bargained for.
Liu Qinghuan and the other three walked out the door. After just two steps, Han Dai couldn't help but say, "I didn't know Sister Qinghuan was so powerful when she spoke. She's worthy of being a big businessman."
