Chapter 369 Are They Familiar?
Jian Pingping knew that Jiang Yue was about to marry Ye Mingzhu's uncle, so she wanted to make things clear first.
"Okay, I won't argue with you about this."
At this time, a clerk came in and said, "Masters, we just found a silver hairpin outside the shop."
The guys in this shop are all the guys that Manager Jiang works for in other shops. They are all honest and have good character.
Jian Pingping took the silver hairpin and asked the waiter to leave. Then she looked around at it in her hand, but didn't see anything, so she handed it to Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue took the hairpin and examined it carefully. "This hairpin isn't expensive, but the workmanship is pretty good. Judging from the style, it doesn't look like it was made by a craftsman here."
The silver hairpins in the capital city are all a bit rough, and no matter how much silver is used, they look very valuable.
But the silver hairpin in Jiang Yue's hand was very delicate and full of ingenuity.
"This hairpin looks like it's made in the capital." Jiang Yue has quite a few pieces of jewelry, some of which were bought by Manager Jiang when he went to various places to purchase items.
She looked at the hairpin in front of her. It looked very similar to the one that Manager Jiang bought from the capital a few years ago. It was said that it cost four taels of silver. Although it looked delicate, it was not expensive and was only worn by unmarried girls.
"Capital?" Jian Pingping repeated these two words and suddenly remembered who the hairpin belonged to.
Jiang Yue also thought of it, "This hairpin belongs to the girl who wanted to pay for others in the beginning."
"Her name is Xu Mengqing, and she's from the capital." Jian Pingping lowered his eyes, somewhat reluctant to mention the other person.
"Xu Mengqing?" Jiang Yue carefully recalled the families with the surname Xu in the capital that Manager Jiang had mentioned. There were too many of them, and she was not sure which family the other person belonged to.
"Do you want to give this hairpin to that girl? She seems to be very familiar with your cousin." Jiang Yue's words almost made it clear that the two were in love.
Jian Pingping didn't want to mention those two people, as she felt bad.
"If she remembers it, she will naturally send someone to look for it. If she doesn't come, I'm afraid there will be better ones." Jiang Yue guessed that the other party would not come, because her silly cousin would probably buy a better hairpin for her.
Jiang Yue thought she was talking about buying a new hairpin, so she didn't think much about it.
"Let's guess whose family sent the girl who caused trouble today?" Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes. "This is such an obvious frame-up. It seems they don't want us to open a shop here anymore."
Jian Pingping frowned: "I guess it's a few rouge shops in the city. The others don't have any conflicts with us, so they won't deliberately cause trouble."
However, there are several rouge shops in the city, and we have to investigate carefully to find out which one it is.
"I've already sent a letter to my father. I'll leave this matter to him." Jiang Yue acted like he needed his father's help, which made Jian Pingping feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Yue didn't notice and continued, "But now that we've found them, how should we teach them a lesson?"
Jian Pingping tried to regain his composure. "We'll treat them the way they treated us. Since they're able to send people to cause trouble for us, they must have bullied others quite a bit. If we use their faults to point them out to others, someone will inevitably come knocking on our door."
This way, they can teach the other party a lesson without getting their hands dirty.
Jiang Yue's eyes unconsciously looked at the hairpin, and after a while she said, "Leave this to me."
Jian Pingping nodded. She could give advice, but when it came to connections, Jiang Yue was definitely much better than her.
Jiang Yue stayed in the shop for another quarter of an hour before returning home.
Jiang Li was drinking tea and looked at the sky outside: "Why did you come back so late today?"
"Someone went to the shop to cause trouble today." Jiang Yue had just sat down when a maid came to serve tea. She quickly picked it up and took a sip. She had been talking to Jian Pingping and didn't notice it. She only realized she was thirsty when she got home.
Jiang Li waited until she finished her cup of tea before asking, "Who is so bold as to cause trouble in your shop?"
Jian Pingping is the prefect's niece, and Jiang Yue is the only daughter of the steward Jiang. Who would be so stupid as to pick on them?
"Pingping and I haven't revealed our identities to outsiders. Pingping has only been in the city for a short time, and I don't go out often. Not many people know who owns the shop. Maybe they think it's run by two orphans."
Jiang Yue said casually: "I have to ask Dad to help me check this matter."
"It's just a small matter, your father doesn't need it. I gave you two families as a dowry, and they are now on the farm. There is a Jiang Xiong, who used to be a steward of a wealthy family. Now his legs and feet are not good, so he has passed all his skills to his son Jiang Feng. You can give this matter to Jiang Feng, so you can see what he can do."
Jiang Yue had no impression of these two families, but she believed in Jiang Li's judgment, so she handed the matter over to Jiang Feng.
This was Jiang Feng's first appearance in front of the master, and he was eager to show off all his abilities.
At the same time, another group of people went to inquire about this matter, and they got the news before Jiang Feng and took action quickly.
Two days later, Jian Pingping sent away the last customer. As it was getting dark, he guessed that no one would come anymore, so he asked the waiters to close the door.
"Why, you want to close the door when you see me coming? Are you going to repay kindness with evil?" Doctor Murong's voice came from the door.
Jian Pingping had just picked up a glass of water and was drinking it when she heard the voice. She quickly put the glass down and put on a proper smile. "Doctor Murong is here. Have you run out of facial cream?"
Doctor Murong raised his chin, glanced at her, and sat on the stool prepared for guests: "I've seen a lot of patients today. I haven't had time to drink tea yet. Pour me a cup of tea too."
Jian Pingping took the teapot that the waiter had just brewed for her from under the counter and found a new cup and handed it to him: "The tea here is very simple, I hope Doctor Murong doesn't mind."
Doctor Murong took the teacup, sniffed it, and his eyes were filled with obvious disgust, but he still put it to his lips and took a sip: "This tea has no fragrance at all. I will get you some new tea tomorrow."
Jian Pingping paused while drinking tea. Are they familiar with each other?
Lord Murong took another sip, and was really disgusted. He put down the teacup and went to grab the teacup from Jian Pingping's hand: "It's too hard to drink. Don't drink it."
Jian Pingping dodged his hand, but didn't drink any more. She put down the teacup and said politely, "What would Doctor Murong like to buy today?"
"Can't I come over and sit down if I don't want to buy anything?" Doctor Murong was annoyed by her evasive behavior. He took a big sip of tea and said unhappily.
Jian Pingping couldn't understand Dr. Murong's thoughts, but she didn't want to indulge him blindly, so she just watched him quietly.
Doctor Murong saw his own reflection in her black and white eyes, and suddenly felt guilty.
"I, I know someone wants to pick a fight with you, so I came here to tell you."
