Chapter 174: A gentleman does not take what others like

 Then he cautiously said: "You two girls, I have a lot of rabbit lanterns here. You can take a look at the others..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Lingxi and Li Siying looked at him and said in unison: "Shut up! I want this one in my hand."

Stall owner: "..."

Li Siying curled her lips mockingly and continued: "For ten taels of silver, I am bound to get this lantern."

Ji Lingxi was so aroused by her that her heart was filled with anger. Just as she was about to ask for the 20 taels of silver to take the lantern, she felt her sleeve being gently pulled.

She looked back and saw Shen Jintang gently shaking his head at her.

Somehow, when Ji Lingxi looked into Shen Jintang's clear eyes, he suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water had fallen on his head.

Everyone calmed down.

She suddenly realized that she had been fooled by Li Siying's provocation. She almost fell for it if Shen Jintang hadn't reminded her.

When the time comes, she spends twenty taels of silver to buy a rabbit lantern that can be seen everywhere in the streets, and she doesn't have to become the laughing stock of Qingzhou Prefecture.

She can almost see the way others look at her like a fool.

Every Chinese Valentine's Day from now on, others will remember her buying a ubiquitous rabbit lantern with twenty taels of silver.

Li Siying couldn't help but feel a little anxious when she saw that Ji Lingxi didn't increase the price.

She deliberately raised her eyebrows, looked sideways at Ji Lingxi and said, "What's wrong? Don't you have the guts to increase the price? I knew you..."

Before she finished speaking, Ji Lingxi smiled faintly, then let go of the hand holding the lantern, and Yun Danfeng said softly: "A gentleman does not take away from others' favor. Since you like this lantern so much, you have spent ten years using it." If you have two pieces of silver, you must win it, so I will give it to you."

After saying that, seeing Li Siying's dumbfounded expression, Yingying smiled: "Don't thank me too much, I'm just a kind person and can't bear to make things difficult for others."

Li Siying: "..."

It’s embarrassing, it’s embarrassing!

It would be embarrassing for her to spend ten taels of silver to buy a broken rabbit lantern and go back, okay?

Li Siying's expression was a bit hard to laugh out.

Her lips couldn't help but tremble, and the blood on her pretty face slowly faded.

"Haha, if you like it, I can give you ten taels of silver." Li Siying laughed twice and said.

Ji Lingxi shook his head and said: "No need, actually looking at it now, I don't like this lantern that much."

Stall owner: "..."

He was afraid that the business would fail, so he quickly said to Li Siying: "Girl, congratulations, now this lantern is yours."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Siying eagerly, fearing that she would suddenly run away without paying.

No matter how thick-skinned Li Siying is, she will not run away suddenly in this situation.

I had no choice but to stiffen my face, take out ten taels of silver from my purse, and hand it to the stall owner.

Everyone looked at her sympathetically.

Li Siying looked at her like this and almost ran away on the spot. She picked up the rabbit lantern and turned away.

The other girls with her quickly followed.

Seeing Li Siying running away, Ji Lingxi's legs went weak and she barely stood up.

"It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous." She patted her chest vigorously, feeling as if she was surviving a disaster, and said, "I almost ended up being a fool who spent twenty taels of silver to buy a lantern."< /p>

After saying this, she looked at Shen Jintang and thanked her sincerely: "Tangtang, thank you very much. If you hadn't shaken your head at me, I would have almost said that I would have spent twenty taels of silver to buy this lantern."< /p>

Shen Jintang smiled and said nothing.

"Okay, do you still want lanterns? Just buy a few if you want, forget it if you don't." Xu Mengjing had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

Zhang Yanyan and Tian Mengyao also stepped forward and each chose a lantern that they liked.

Then he looked at the stall owner and asked: "Boss, how do you sell this lantern?"

The stall owner subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to the lion.

Then he saw Shen Jintang glance at him.

Her apricot eyes were as clear as water, but the stall owner felt his heart skip a beat inexplicably.

He quickly turned his head and said honestly: "This lantern only costs one hundred coins."

Zhang Yanyan's eyes widened when she heard this, and she said in surprise: "Is it so cheap?"

You know, the rabbit lantern that Li Siying bought for ten taels of silver before, he asked for half a tael of silver.

What the two of them didn't know was that the rabbit lantern was actually cheaper than the lantern they were holding, and it only cost 80 yuan.

The owner of this stall has been doing business all year round, so he has a sharp eye and knows who is rich and who is easy to cheat.

Therefore, when Ji Lingxi asked him about the price, he said half a tael of silver just to make a big profit.

But I didn't expect that the price actually increased so many times in the end, and it was sold for a sky-high price of ten taels of silver.

The stall owner was afraid that Li Siying would regret it and come back to him to return the goods and refund the money, so he couldn't wait to close the stall and go home.

These ten taels of silver are enough to feed and clothe his family for the next year.

In the end, Zhang Yanyan and Tian Xiuyao each spent a hundred cash to buy a lantern.

Shen Jintang and Xu Mengjing also randomly picked one.

The stall owner picked up another rabbit lantern and looked at Ji Lingxi, and asked expectantly: "Girl, there are rabbit lanterns as well. Do you want more? Just take a hundred cents."

When Ji Lingxi heard this, he glanced at the rabbit lantern with disgust and said, "No, no, no, I'll choose a different style of lantern. This is unlucky."

Stall owner: "..." Who almost had a fight over this rabbit lantern before?

In the end, Ji Lingxi also chose a lantern that was exactly the same as Shen Jintang's.

Shen Jintang turned to look at Qingdai and Bai Zhi, and asked with a smile: "You guys can come and choose a lantern that suits your needs. I will reimburse you for today's expenses."

After following Shen Jintang for so long, Qingdai, Bai Zhi and others have already become accustomed to the new words often spoken by Shen Jintang.

Therefore, we can also understand what the full reimbursement means.

Hearing this, he happily responded and said, "Thank you, girl."

Seeing this, Xu Mengjing, Zhang Yanyan and others also said to their maids: "You can each choose a lantern that you like. I will also reimburse you."

They had not just met Shen Jintang, and they could vaguely guess the meaning of this reimbursement.

Their maid, who was originally looking at Qingdai, Bai Zhi and others with envy, was overjoyed when she heard this.

He thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you so much, my dear girl."

The group finished buying lanterns and some snacks to eat while walking.

"I want to eat so much that I don't even know what to eat." Zhang Yanyan said, holding a piece of lentil cake in one hand and a bunch of candied haws in the other.

Hearing this, Xu Mengjing glanced at her lightly and said, "You have so much in your hands, why don't you know what to eat?"
