Chapter 163 Chasing
Chapter 163 Chasing
After buying clothes, you naturally need suitable jewelry to match them. After leaving Jinxiu Pavilion, Gu Jingzhi took Li Xi to a famous jewelry shop in the capital to choose.
As for the group of noble ladies in Jinxiu Pavilion, they originally wanted to make fun of Li Xi, but they didn't expect to be dazzled by dog food. How could they have the mood to continue shopping?
Zheng Qianya looked particularly unhappy. She patted her sleeves and said, "I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
After saying this, without waiting for others to react, he left with the maid.
The other noble ladies were naturally dissatisfied with her behavior, but due to the power of her family, they still endured it.
It was not until her figure completely disappeared that someone spoke up indignantly, "Why are you so proud? It's just that you have a good father."
When the others heard her words, they did not agree with her. Instead, they quietly moved away from her, thinking that she was really stupid.
If she didn't like Zheng Qianya, she would have dared to tell her face to face, and they would have thought highly of her. Since she didn't have that courage, she should have kept it to herself instead of saying it out loud in public.
Although they had just said bad things about Major General Gu's country-bumpkin fiancée, they all knew that no one would imitate Major General Gu.
But now, everyone here is from the same circle as them. Although Zheng Qianya does act a little arrogantly because of her family background, which makes many people dissatisfied, there are also many people who want to curry favor with her.
She might feel good now when someone says bad things about her behind her back, but if someone tells Zheng Qianya about this, her fate can be imagined.
You can make friends with stupid people, but you can’t make friends with stupid people.
"I just remembered that I have something to do at home today, so I'll leave first."
"I have to go to the temple with my mother to burn incense this afternoon. I'm leaving now. You guys continue shopping."
"Since you all have things to do, let's go our separate ways."
"That's fine. It's no fun to go shopping without everyone. Let's pick a time to go shopping together next time."
"That's a good idea."
Wang Xiaoyun looked at the small circle of sisters that suddenly dispersed. Knowing that she had little influence, she said nothing and just followed Liu Yanran.
Since they were going to disperse, people left one by one.
Liu Yanran waited until most of them had left before leaving with Wang Xiaoyun.
"Xiao Yun, I need to go to the Treasure Pavilion to pick up the jewelry that my mother ordered. Do you want to come with me?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you." Wang Xiaoyun agreed immediately.
She was not in this circle before, and Liu Yanran was her only good friend in this circle. Naturally, she hoped to maintain a good relationship between the two of them.
Wang Xiaoyun glanced at Yanran beside her. She had a slender figure, willow-shaped eyebrows, cold eyes, and slightly pale lips. Although her facial features were a little dull, they looked very harmonious when put together. Coupled with the scent of books on her body, she looked particularly fresh and refined.
In fact, she likes Yanran very much. Yanran's father is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. In fact, her family background is slightly higher than Zheng Qianya's. But she is never as arrogant as Zheng Qianya. She treats people very peacefully and never looks down on others because their family background is not as good as hers.
When she first entered this circle, she was excluded. Thanks to Yanran, she was no longer excluded, so she and Yanran quickly became friends. However, Yanran actually didn't like going out with Zheng Qianya and the others. She went out with them five times and only met Yanran once at most.
She likes her friend Yanran very much, so she cherishes the time she spends with Yanran.
Liu Yanran and Wang Xiaoyun, who were the last to leave, also left. The maid in Jinxiu Pavilion frowned slightly as she looked at the pile of clothes that were taken out.
"What's wrong?" The maid Liuyun, who came down from the second floor, saw the little sisters frowning and couldn't help but ask.
While Jin Tao was packing the clothes in her hands, she spoke with a tone of disappointment and complaint, "There were so many of them, and they looked at so many clothes, but in the end, they didn't buy any."
It's no wonder that Jin Tao was disappointed. Their wages in Jinxiu Pavilion were based on commission. The more they sold, the more they would get paid this month.
Jin Tao knew the identities of Zheng Qianya and her group. They were regular customers of her store and would always bring one or two items every time they came. This time there were many of them, and Jin Tao thought that today would be a good day for business. However, after serving them for a long time, she didn't expect that there was no business at all.
Zheng Qianya and the others also knew that what they said should not be heard by others, so after Gu Jingzhi and Li Xi came in, they sent Jin Tao away, saying that they wanted to look at it themselves.
Jin Tao had heard this kind of request before. Some people just didn't like their maids to follow them around when they were choosing clothes, so when they said that, she tactfully withdrew. So she didn't know that while she got nothing, the bosses had already placed orders to the point of explosion.
Liuyun went forward to help her clean up, "It's okay, they didn't buy it so they didn't buy it. Did the man and woman who came in just now see it?"
"Of course I saw it." Jin Tao nodded, "I heard the shopkeeper call that man the Major General."
"Yes, that was Young General Gu and his fiancée. He came to Jinxiu Pavilion this time specifically to pick out clothes for his fiancée. You don't know, but just because the girl said they were all pretty good, Young General Gu directly bought more than 20 top-notch gorgeous clothes.
We don’t have to worry about our commission this month.”
"What!" Jin Tao's eyes widened when she heard that. "More than twenty pieces!"
No matter how you listen to it, it's hard to believe.
"You heard me right, that's more than 20 pieces. Our store's inventory is all gone. I'm afraid we won't be able to sell top-grade Chinese clothes in a short period of time."
Although top-grade Chinese clothes are expensive, the craftsmanship is there. Even if the embroiderer works overtime, it will probably take several months to get the finished product.
Hearing her say this, Jin Tao changed her previous decadence, a big smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, her hands moved faster, and she was so happy that she was almost humming a little tune.
Seeing her like this, Liuyun couldn't help but laugh like her.
At this moment, a young girl in gorgeous clothes strode in. She was wearing a dress made of delicate gauze and embroidered with gold thread, and a double-layer gilded hairpin with flowers and butterflies inlaid with gems on her head. She looked extremely noble.
But her angry expression gave people a bad impression.
"Where's Brother Jingzhi?"
As soon as she entered Jinxiu Pavilion, she looked around. Not seeing the person she wanted to see, she directly questioned the maid in the pavilion.
The maid recognized the person in front of her at a glance. The person was none other than the Princess Leyang who had just been talked about by Zheng Qianya and the others.
The shopkeeper noticed the commotion here and immediately came forward, "I greet the princess."
Princess Leyang raised her head and looked at her, "Tell me quickly, where is Brother Jingzhi?"
