Ning He looked at Ning Wei, smiled contemptuously, and said mockingly: "You want to spend a thousand taels of silver to buy this dress? Are you sure you can afford it?"
How big a family fortune Ning Wei has, if others don't know it, how can she not know it?
Just relying on her mother's half-dead shop, she might not be able to earn a thousand taels of silver throughout the year.
Ning Wei met Ning He's disdainful eyes, smiled calmly, and said truthfully: "I can't afford it!"
Ning He rolled his eyes at Ning Wei and sneered: "If you can't afford it, what will you buy?"
Ning Wei looked at the waiter and said: "Shopkeeper, you just said, two hundred taels of silver, no two prices!"
The waiter nodded and said, "Yes, I just said that."
Ning Wei turned to look at Ning He, "Miss Ning, did you hear that? I can buy these clothes for only two hundred taels of silver. I can still afford two hundred taels of silver."
Miss Ning, do you know that Deyifang is a century-old store. The reason why this store can last for a hundred years is based on integrity and reputation.
You don't need one thousand taels of silver to sell this piece of clothing to me. This is the price I negotiated with the store in advance.
Do you know what integrity is? By the way, it’s my fault, I forgot. People like you who are arrogant and domineering with just a few taels of silver don’t know what integrity is!”
Ning Wei spoke in a leisurely manner, with a calm and composed expression, which made the little girl next to her want to applaud her.
The little girl looked at the young man beside her, pointed at Ning Wei, and gave a thumbs up.
The young man gave her a wink and told her to be quiet and watch obediently.
The little girl smiled and nodded.
"You..." Ning He was furious and pointed at Ning Wei, wanting to rush up and tear her apart.
Hu Rui stood in front of Ning Wei and blocked Ning Wei behind him. "Miss Ning, you'd better think clearly before taking action. Otherwise, I'm worried that you won't be able to get out of this door for a while and will have to be carried out."
Ning He had seen how hard Hu Rui's fist was, and knew that he would not get any favors from her, so how could he dare to charge forward?
Suffering from Ning Wei's anger, Ning He turned to the waiter and said, "Shopkeeper, you think one thousand taels is too little, right? Then I will buy this dress for ten thousand taels, ten thousand taels of silver."
"
The waiter is really in a dilemma now. His salary is thirty taels of silver a month, which is thirty-six taels a year.
Ten thousand taels of silver. He had to work every day for nearly three hundred years to earn so much money.
The waiter lowered his head and looked at the clothes in his hand. He had the illusion that what he was holding was not clothes, but gold tablets.
Someone in the crowd of onlookers reminded: "Little brother, this is ten thousand taels of silver. Can you make the decision on this matter? Hurry up and find the shopkeeper."
Someone followed and said: "Yes, little brother, there are ten thousand taels of silver, hurry up and find the cabinet."
There was a lot of commotion here, and someone had already informed the shopkeeper. Just when the waiter wanted to invite the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper came up from downstairs and came straight over, "What's going on?"
When the waiter heard the shopkeeper's voice, he shouted as if he was seeing a savior, "Shopkeeper Qin."
When the onlookers heard that the shopkeeper was coming, they all moved out of the way.
Shopkeeper Qin came over and asked, "Liu'er, what's going on?"
Liu'er briefly explained the whole story and then asked: "Shopkeeper, how should we handle this matter?"
When shopkeeper Qin turned to look at Ning He, he saw the young man in the crowd and opened his mouth to shout, but saw the young man wink at him.
Shopkeeper Qin opened his mouth and said, "Miss, are you sure you want ten thousand taels of silver to buy this dress?"
Ning He nodded firmly, "Yes, I saw this piece of clothing at first sight and liked it very much. Even if it costs a high price, I want to buy it."
Shopkeeper Qin nodded and said appreciatively: "Well, Miss, you have a good taste. These clothes were made by our Master Cui from Deyifang. Master Cui is the one who has cut clothes for our empress."
Ning He received praise from Shopkeeper Qin and raised his chin proudly. "It turns out that it came from Master Cui's hand, which is really rare. I must buy this dress! Please give it to the shopkeeper."
After Ning He complimented him, he immediately expressed his determination.
Shopkeeper Qin nodded and agreed with a smile: "I understand the young lady's mood."
Ning He saw that the shopkeeper was loose in his words and took the opportunity to say, "How about the shopkeeper buy me this dress?"
Ye Zhanyu felt very excited when he saw that Ning He was determined to make things difficult for Ning Wei and wanted to embarrass Ning Wei.
She was eager to see Ning Wei make a fool of herself, so she echoed: "Miss Ning thinks this dress suits her brother very well. She wants to buy it as a gift to her brother. Shopkeeper, please help Miss Ning. Ten thousand taels of silver can buy a dress."
, you are open for business, why don’t you do it if you have money to make?”
Yang Xinye followed up and said: "When we open the door for business, how can we refuse to give out the money that comes to our door?"
Shopkeeper Qin looked up at the young man. The young man didn't look at him at all. He was holding the folding fan and swinging it gently, listening to people's whispers.
The little girl next to the young man looked at Ning Wei with bright eyes.
Shopkeeper Qin understood something. He withdrew his gaze and said awkwardly to Ning He: "Since Miss likes it so much, let me think of some ideas. Miss, are you sure you want 10,000 taels of silver to buy this dress?"
Ning He thought that shopkeeper Qin suspected that she could not pay the money, so he lowered his head and took out two banknotes from his purse to open them, then waved them in front of shopkeeper Qin's eyes, "Look, a banknote of five thousand, two
Zhang, exactly ten thousand taels."
Shopkeeper Qin looked at the banknote. It had the logo of Zhengtong Bank printed on it. It was a banknote from Zhengtong Bank, yes.
Shopkeeper Qin nodded and said: "Well, I see the determination and sincerity of the young lady in wanting to buy this dress. Wait a moment, young lady, and I will discuss it with this young lady."
With that said, shopkeeper Qin planned to take Ning Wei aside to discuss.
Ning Wei spent a high price of 10,000 taels of silver to buy a piece of clothing just to see Ning Wei embarrassed. How could he let shopkeeper Qin take Ning Wei away?
Ning He said to shopkeeper Qin very unhappily: "Shopkeeper, is there anything you can't say in front of everyone?"
Ye Zhanyu said: "Yes, if you have anything to say, just say it in front of everyone."
Ning Wei had no intention of leaving and said, "Shopkeeper, if you have anything to say, just say it here."
The onlookers also wanted to know how Shopkeeper Qin handled the matter. Someone said: "Shopkeeper, since the two ladies asked to speak in front of everyone, you can just say it here. We can also provide personal testimony for the shopkeeper."
.Everyone said, isn’t it?”
Someone asked, and naturally someone responded, "That's right, the shopkeeper, just tell me right here, we can give you a personal testimony."
Shopkeeper Qin looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Everyone wants me to say it here, so I will say it here, please bear witness."
After saying that, shopkeeper Qin looked at Ning He and said solemnly: "I'll ask you again, young lady, are you sure you want to spend ten thousand taels of silver to buy this dress?"
Ning He was startled for a moment, then saw shopkeeper Qin's serious look, and then became serious, "Yes, I'm sure I want to buy it."
Shopkeeper Qin then asked: "Don't regret it? Everyone listens!"
Ning He was a little annoyed, "Shopkeeper, who are you looking down on? It's only ten thousand taels of silver, can't I afford it?"
Shopkeeper Qin said with an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. Don't be upset, Miss. This is how business is done. Negotiation comes first, and then there is a sale. Isn't that right?"
Everyone felt that what Shopkeeper Qin said was right, and they all nodded, "Well, that's the truth."
Someone urged: "Shopkeeper, this lady is very sincere, please help her quickly."
Others followed and said: "Yes, shopkeeper, please help her quickly."
Shopkeeper Qin raised his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet and shut up.
Shopkeeper Qin turned to look at Ning Wei and said, "Miss, I know that you were the first to take a fancy to this dress. Ordinarily, I should buy this dress for you.
However, you have also seen that this lady cherishes this dress very much, and is even willing to pay a high price of ten thousand taels of silver for this dress.
It is said that a gentleman has the beauty of an adult. At first glance, the young lady is a well-educated, humble and easy-going person.
I have a merciless request. I would like to ask you to make a concession and give this lady these clothes.
Of course, we won’t let the young lady give in for nothing, we will make some compensation for the young lady, what do you think, young lady?”
Ning Wei roughly guessed what the shopkeeper meant, looked at shopkeeper Qin with a half-smile, and asked: "How does the shopkeeper want to make up for it?"
Shopkeeper Qin was very happy after hearing Ning Wei's question.
Shopkeeper Qin took a step toward Ning Wei, raised his hand to cover his mouth with his sleeves, and said in a very low voice, "If Miss, I can complete this deal..."
After hearing what shopkeeper Qin said, Ning Wei didn't even think about it. She raised her eyebrows and immediately responded in a low voice: "The shopkeeper's gentleman's words are hard to follow. It's a deal!"
There is money to be made, but a fool will not make it.
Seeing Ning Wei agree, shopkeeper Qin put down his sleeves and turned to Ning He and said, "Miss, I've sold these clothes to you. Liu'er, wrap up the clothes for this young lady."
Liu'er quickly folded his clothes and prepared to pack them.
Ning He wanted to see Ning Wei make a fool of herself, but didn't see it.
"Wait a minute." Ning He said.
Shopkeeper Qin turned to look at Ning He and asked, "Miss, what's the matter?"
Ning He looked at Ning Wei, "What did the shopkeeper say to her? Why was she willing to give up her clothes?"
Shopkeeper Qin said with a smile: "This has nothing to do with the lady. If the lady wants to buy clothes, we can just sell the clothes to the lady."
Ning He was speechless.
Everyone was curious about how the shopkeeper persuaded Ning Wei, and asked: "Shopkeeper, what did you say to this young lady?"
"Shopkeeper, aren't you threatening this little girl?"
Shopkeeper Qin ignored everyone's questions and watched Liu'er pack the clothes, then took the clothes and handed them to Ning He, "Miss, take the clothes you want."
The maid Chunni stepped forward and took the clothes. Ning He handed the two banknotes in his hand to shopkeeper Qin, not forgetting to give Ning Wei a proud look. "Thank you Chengquan, I bought the clothes."
Ning Wei smiled and nodded, "I bought it for 10,000 taels of silver. It is extremely precious! You must let Ning Yang wear it well and wear it every day, otherwise I will be sorry for your 10,000 taels of silver."
Ning He smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this. My brother has more clothes than he can wear. Even if I buy these clothes, my brother may not be able to wear them. As for Ning Yu, he wears a fine cloth gown every day, which is a bit shabby.
But there is no other way. I know that your life is tight now and your life is difficult.
Ning Wei, you should remember your identity and avoid coming to high-end places like this in the future to avoid embarrassment."
Ning Wei smiled and said nothing.
Shopkeeper Qin took the banknotes, looked at them repeatedly, and handed one to Ning Wei, "Miss, please keep it."
Ning Wei took the banknote with a smile and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper."
Everyone was in an uproar when they saw the shopkeeper giving Ning Wei a banknote.
When Ning He saw it, his proud face immediately froze. He turned to look at Shopkeeper Qin and asked, "Shopkeeper, why did you give her the banknote?"
Shopkeeper Qin clapped his head in annoyance and said with self-blame: "Hey, look at this brain! How do you do this?
How could I give the banknote to this young lady in front of her? I'm sorry, it's all because of my bad temper, I was too impatient, and I didn't handle the matter properly."
Shopkeeper Qin blamed himself repeatedly, which made Ning He angry and glared at Ning Wei angrily.
Shopkeeper Qin continued: "But, having said that, Miss, we should all thank this young lady for today's incident. If this young lady hadn't been so humble, you wouldn't be able to buy this good thing, right?"
Ning He was very angry and asked: "According to the shopkeeper's words, I still have to thank her?"
Shopkeeper Qin looked at Ning He, then at the onlookers, and asked innocently: "Isn't it right? Let's talk about it, if this lady hadn't been so humble, this deal wouldn't have been possible, right?"
"That's right, Miss, you can't just say nice things when you ask for help, and then tear down the bridge when you cross the river. This is unethical."
"Yes, if this lady doesn't give it to you, how can you buy this clothes?"
The little girl who was under the window just now said: "You should really be grateful. If it hadn't been for this lady, you wouldn't have been able to buy this dress, right? Shopkeeper, in addition to five thousand taels of silver, you should give this lady some more clothes."
.”
Ning Wei heard the ringing sound, turned her head and looked over, then her heart was shocked, Princess Changle, why is she here?
Shopkeeper Qin leaned forward with a smile and said, "Yes, thank you young lady for reminding me, I think so too.
In addition to five thousand taels of silver, Deyifang will give the young lady six more sets of clothes to express her gratitude for her perfect beauty. Liu'er, take this young lady to pick out some clothes."
Liu'er stepped forward, leaned towards Ning Wei with a smile and said, "Miss, please."
Liu'er's voice brought Ning Wei back to her senses, and she leaned forward and said, "Okay, thank you very much!"
Ning Wei left with Liu'er and glanced at Princess Changle intentionally or unintentionally.
Shopkeeper Qin stood next to Ning He, bowed respectfully and said, "Miss, do you need anything else? I will personally explain it to you."
Ning He felt anger welling up in her chest. She wanted to embarrass Ning Wei, but she didn't want Ning Wei and the shopkeeper to join forces and treat her like a monkey. For a moment, she became the one who made a fool of herself.
Ning He looked at Shopkeeper Qin with angry eyes.
Shopkeeper Qin looked at her with a smile.
Yang Xinye saw that something was wrong, stretched out her hand to pull Ning He, and said softly: "Sister He, this is Deyifang, not a place for ordinary people to come."
After listening to Yang Xinye's words, Ning He's remaining rationality gradually returned, and he said coldly to Shopkeeper Qin: "No, let's go."
