Although he had no idea of the background of Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan, he could tell they were never some minor roles judging from the fact that even Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Hong both took him as an honored guest. Other people may not know, but he was crystal clear that behind Xinyuan and Baiyunge is Lord Six from the number one duke’s mansion, a famous devil king. Even the Gui family behind can't afford to offend him, let alone…Having been a shopkeeper her for years, he could say he could tell about what kind of people one was with an eyes. Apparently Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan were some kind of badas*es, especially Yan Shengrui, with that kind of nobility giving off from his bones. If having not been trained since he was young, he could never look so majesty. If the other side’s background was no inferior to the number one duke’s mansion, he may even die without himself knowing why.
“Hum. My son is giving you face to buy things here! You dog thing!”
Throwing a cold hum, Yan Shengrui was nearly unreasonably unreasonable. Shopkeeper Gui flushed with humiliation. As he nearly couldn’t hold it there, Ling Jingxuan suddenly smiled and said, “Well, there is no other gold shop near here, and later we have to hurry back, so, I guess we can only buy stuff here. I see that the location is not back. After your Lord Zeng comes, let him open a new branch of Baiyunge here.”
Seemingly mild tone, those words directly sentenced the death penalty of the Xinyue Gold Shop. If Baiyunge really opened a branch here, how could Xinyue live? Shopkeeper Gui was not stupid. He gnashed his teeth, but could do nothing. The kids back was that demon king Lord Zeng! What could he say? What dare he say?
“Hmm.”
Two little bun took a look at each other. Although they also had no idea who the so-called Uncle Zeng is, they coincidentally nodded, because they both saw how awful that shopkeeper look when daddy mentioned him.
“Come on. Go in and see if there’re things you like. Brother Zhao, aren’t you also planning to buy some things for Brother Han? Pick some.”
Then, a line of people finally entered the shop. When walking by Shopkeeper Gui, Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Hong both cast a sympathy eye at him. He could only blame himself for having a pair of blind holes and bully the countrymen. Even their Xinyuan and Baiyunge dare not bully any customer, let alone their Xinyue! He only deserved it!
“Daddy, do you think these earrings look good on grandma? Look, the leaves shake and shine. They will look very beautiful on grandma, I guess.”
Ling Wen picked up a pair of leaf-shape earrings he had seen this morning and turned to Ling Jingxuan to ask. Others were fine, too, but this pair was particularly shiny. He wanted grandma sparkle.
“Well, yes, my son has really good taste. Then take them.”
Squatting down to check the leaf-shape silver earrings, Ling Jingxuan touched his head while praising him.
“They are good, but would cost five taels of silver. Daddy, why are those things made of such little silver so expensive?”
Ling Wen’s eyes turned a little dark, immediately asked so. It was not that he wouldn’t buy them, but just felt a little fleshing-cutting painful in the heart.
“Little childe, you heard it wrong in the morning, it costs you only one tael.”
Before Ling Jingxuan answered him, Shopkeeper Gui cut in. Now he didn't want anything, just wanted to send them away as soon as possible.
“Is that so? Then buy this pair. Wrap them for me.”
Looking at the shopkeeper with his head tilted, after getting his daddy’s approval, Ling Wen handed the earrings over, then fished out a one-tael ingot out.
“Daddy, how about I buy this silver hairpin? Look! The bird's mouth is still holding a bead. It’d look good on grandma.”
The next second, Ling Wu also took a hairpin with a firebird pattern and ran over, Ling Jingxuan took a look at it and knocked on his head since he felt so amused, “A little bird? , this is a rosefinch. It’s said that they are phoenixes that failed to ascend. And only the empress can wear the hairpins with phoenix patterns on them. But since the phoenix patterns are too beautiful, the folks have figured out a way—using the rosefinch as the replacement.”
These messages were in the head of the original owner, Ling Jingxuan just added his own simple explanation.
“Heehee, I have not seen a rosefinch. How would I recognize it? Daddy, just say if it looks good.”
Mischievouslt sticking out his tongue, Ling Wu shamelessly embraced his arm and acted cute while shaking it, Ling Jingxuan could only surrender and said with a smile, “Yeah, yeah, it looks good. How could my little son have such good taste?”
“Then I’ll choose this, shopkeeper, how much is this?”
Achieving the goal, the small bun took the hairpin and turned to the shopkeeper, his little face changed as fast as turning a page. A moment ago, he was still acting cute, the next second, he already put on a stern expression.
“Five…five taels of silver.”
When saying this number, Shopkeeper Gui felt his heart fluttering. Hadn’t he just offended those few little ancestors this morning? Now that number only gave him a huge headache.
“Five taels???”
The small bun’s eyes sank. He poured out all the silver ingots from his pouch and carefully counted. After making sure of the number, he said, “Wrap it for me. Make it pretty!”
Recieving the silver hairpin, Shopkeeper Gui exhaled a deep breath of relief. Then Zhao Dalong also spent fifteen taels of silver and bought a jade hairpin for Han Fei and an Avalokitesvara silver pendant for Tiewa. Judging from the workshop, Shopkeeper Gui apparently didn’t overcharge them, may have even lost some money. But Ling Jingxuan didn’t think so. He asked for it! He had insulted his little buns. How could he let him go so easily?
Before leaving, Ling Jingxuan looked back at the plaque, an evil smile climbed into his eyes. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Xinyue Gold Shop! He remembered it!
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ And on the other side, Shopkeeper Gui took out a long breath after sending them away, and totally didn’t notice Ling Jingxuan’s expression.
Then they went back to Xinyuan Restaurant and packed a few roast ducks for their family. And Shopkeeper Wang specially sent two carriages to send them to the ferry. But, before that, they first took a detour to send the fat shopkeeper back to Baiyunge first, and Ling Jingxuan asked Yan Shengrui to buy his parents and aunts a suit of clothes each by the way.
“It's time to go.”
The two carriages which had stopped at the gate of Baiyunge drove off, but…
“His Highness? I think I saw His Highness just now…”
As their carriages left, a few tall and strong men ran over. One of them wore a suspicious look, while others also scattered around trying to look for their lord. They even went to Baiyunge their lord had entrusted Lord Six to run on his behalf to ask, but the answer was Prince Sheng had never come here.
“Maybe my eyes. Let’s keep looking for the lord.
A few men, looking quite frustrated, quickly disappeared into the crowd. Yan Shengrui did not know all this. It was just an hour’s mistiming, they missed each other.
