Chapter 613 - Future Lady of the House
Since Yu Xiaocao was unable to stop Zhu Junyang's ridiculous behavior, she decided to ignore him and said to Shopkeeper Zhang, "How much would it cost to buy all the remaining jades?"
"Uh..." Shopkeeper Zhang secretly looked towards his master . His master had already given away a top-grade mutton fat jade worth over a thousand taels, so would he still care about this 'little money'? Although these added up to over six figures...just thinking about it made his heart ache!
"Why are you looking at this prince? Just accept what you're supposed to take!" Although he said this, Zhu Junyang avoided the lass's line of sight and secretly made an implicit expression at Shopkeeper Zhang . They definitely had to collect some money; otherwise, the lass would get angry and leave without taking any of the jades . As for his betrothal gifts, it would probably be difficult to even send them out after the New Year .
Shopkeeper Zhang received his master's signal and said with a polite smile, "Miss Yu, for the two mutton fat jades in your hands, the smaller one cost 10,000 taels and the bigger one is 15,000 taels . I'll just take 5,000 taels for the remaining white jades and green jades . Thus, it's a total of 30,000 taels . You're bought over by the master himself, so I'll offer you the best discount available at the store . You just need to pay a total of 15,000 taels!"
Yu Xiaocao didn't continue to argue . After all, if Zhu Junyang went to shop at her stores, she would also give him the best discount . After she swiftly paid the money, she felt an aching pain as she looked at the several pieces of unimpressive looking jades .
'People often say that gold is valuable and jade is priceless, but this is too expensive ah!' Yu Xiaocao sighed in her heart . If she didn't have the money-making business 'Blossoming Beauty', there was no way that she would spend over ten thousand taels for several worthless rocks!
"Miss Yu, rest assured, this old servant will definitely pick the best craftsman to process these jades for you . Do you have any special requests?" Shopkeeper Zhang spoke in a very humble and polite manner . His master had that he would send the betrothal gifts after the New Year, so it was certain that status of the future lady of the house belonged to this young maiden .
When Shopkeeper Zhang first saw Yu Xiaocao, he was confused by her casual and indifferent attitude . He had originally thought that when a peasant girl entered the grand and imposing 'Wisdom Jade Pavillion', she would feel uneasy and slightly nervous . However, this young maiden wasn't like that at all . Furthermore, the bearing of Lady Fang and the two maidservants behind her gave him the wrong impression that his master had changed the target of his pursuit . (Author's note: If Zhu Junyang knew what he was thinking about, he would definitely want to crack open his head to see what was inside!!)
But, afterwards, his misconception was broken by the name 'Miss Yu'! Was there anyone who didn't know that the Yu Family were a nouveau riche family in the capital? They came from a low origin and had a low-ranked official's position and an awkward status, but no one in the capital dared to publicly offend the Yu Family .
One should know that in the winter, they had control of the meals on the dining tables of the noble families in the capital! Even if one didn't care about the food, there was no guarantee that one's wife and daughter didn't love beauty ah .
Loving beauty was a woman's nature . Due to the excellent quality of the products and services at 'Blossoming Beauty', many ladies with troubled skin had obtained satisfactory results after using their products . These results were spread by word of mouth, and now, most of the noble madams and young misses in the capital had a 'Blossoming Beauty' membership card .
