- Chapter 620 Can you afford it?
The next day, Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei went out to meet the so-called president of the largest trading house in the area.
Sitting in the carriage, she repeatedly looked down at the simple dress she was wearing, and then looked at Mo Lingwei. He was now used to wearing ordinary cloth.
“If we go to meet your friend, should we dress better and be more formal?”
“That’s not a friend, it’s a subordinate.” Mo Lingwei played with the folding fan, a faint smile appeared on his stern face, only for Shen Ningning.
“Besides, we are living in Ren Mansion now and need to conceal our identity. He also knows about this. It doesn’t matter. Just treat it as accompanying me to go out and relax.”
After hearing this, Shen Ningning felt relieved.
But unexpectedly, they got off the carriage and were stopped as soon as they reached the market entrance.
“Sir, madam, our master has asked a villain to come and take care of you.” A voice of apology came from outside.
Mo Lingwei and Shen Ningning were stunned when they saw the formation in front of them.
A well-dressed attendant stood in front of them, and behind him, there were more than a dozen boys.
They lowered their heads, bowed their hands, and shouted: “See you, sir, see your lady!”
Such a large formation attracted the attention of the people passing by.
Shen Ningning hurriedly hid behind Mo Lingwei and lowered her head.
Mo Lingwei frowned: “Your master never said that I should keep a low profile?”
“I said it, I said it, so this time I only arranged for twelve people plus the little ones to greet them.” The leader of the entourage apologized. After seeing Mo Lingwei’s calm expression, he immediately realized that it was too exaggerated.
So, he immediately turned around and scolded seriously: “Get away, everyone, don’t get so close!”
Then he held his hands to Mo Lingwei, with a smile on his face: “Sir, Madam, please follow me this way. Our master has booked the third floor of Furong Building and is waiting for you.”
Seeing the entourage leading the way, Shen Ningning lowered her voice and asked Mo Lingwei beside her: “Didn’t you say that this president knows that we want to hide our identities? Why did he still arrange for so many people to come? The battle is too big.”
Mo Lingwei pursed his lips: “When he heard that I was coming, he was scared out of his wits. When he heard that I was taking you with me, he almost knelt down for me on the spot. He was probably too excited, so he tried to keep a low profile, but he was also very transparent. I don’t dare to neglect it.”
Shen Ningning soon discovered that what Mo Lingwei said was right.
They didn’t take more than two steps when they were greeted by three more brightly dressed maids. They greeted Shen Ningning and the others.
Mo Lingwei frowned: “What are you doing?”
The attendant smiled apologetically and said, “I heard that the young master’s wife has had a hard time here and doesn’t have many suitable clothes and jewelry, so I wanted to do my best to be a landlord and give my wife some sets of beautiful clothes and jewelry.”
As he said that, he looked at Shen Ningning: “Follow these three maids. Guangxiu Tower is opposite Furong Tower. Madam can choose carefully. Our master has already paid all the expenses.”
Shen Ningning wanted to politely refuse, but unexpectedly, Mo Lingwei agreed with this approach.
“When you went out, didn’t you say that the clothes were too plain? Go ahead and pick them out. If you see something you like, just take it. There’s no need to skimp on it.”
The entourage rubbed his hands and smiled: “Yes, yes! The master said, let the madam spend a lot of time.”
Shen Ningning blinked her long eyelashes silently: “Okay.”
She left with the three maids and entered the Guangxiu Building not far away. Mo Lingwei watched her enter before turning to the Furong Building opposite.
Furonglou is the largest tavern in the area and is expensive. Only dignitaries usually come here to dine.
There are three floors in total. The first floor is for ordinary people to dine, and the second floor is for private rooms. Generally, people who can get an appointment in the private rooms of Furong Tower are already rich or noble in Lingshan City.
But the third floor is even more special because it is high and has a good view. You can see the entire Tianshan Mountains in the distance, covered with snow, which is pleasing to the eye. Therefore, only high-ranking officials and wealthy people have been able to go up there.
From the window on the third floor, one could just see Shen Ningning selecting fabrics in the Guangxiu Building opposite.
When Shen Ningning came, there was no one in the Guangxiu Building. The shopkeeper and the four female clerks responsible for guiding the purchase greeted her with smiles, and a group of people waited on her.
They took her to the private room at the back and brought her countless mahogany trays, on which were placed jade jewelry, gold jewelry, and silver utensils. After a while, several female waiters brought her The most expensive and finest silks from the store were delivered.
Shen Ningning already owns a lot of these things in the capital. When she came here to take a look, she didn’t show any particularly surprised look in her eyes.
The shopkeeper is a businessman, and the president has specifically told her to take good care of this lady. Seeing that this lady is wearing ordinary clothes, but she is so calm in front of the treasure, you know that she has a lot of background.
“Madam, do you feel dissatisfied with these? There are better ones in the building, do you want to take a look?”
“No need, they’re all good.” Shen Ningning felt that she could just pick two if she wanted to. She had too many good things.
At this moment, a woman’s voice came from the lobby outside.
“Where’s your shopkeeper? Isn’t it a joke to ask your shopkeeper to come out? Our lady came here just now and took a fancy to the piece of golden silk. It was only when we went back to get the silver that you said the piece of cloth was gone?”
The sound was so loud that Shen Ningning heard it. She lowered her eyes and saw that the thing in front of her was the piece of golden silk.
It has a gold-like color, is slippery to the touch, does not stick to your hands, and does not wrinkle. It is a fine fabric.
A look of embarrassment flashed across the shopkeeper’s face, and he comforted Shen Ningning and said, “Madam, please take a look at these jewelry first, and the little one will go outside to deal with them first.”
He said and hurriedly stepped out.
Four female waiters surrounded Shen Ningning and helped her try on her hairpin.
During this period, the quarrels outside didn’t stop, and the shopkeeper’s apologetic voice was mixed in, which seemed extremely weak.
The voice of the maid yelling and scolding came: “Sold to someone else? You just sold it to someone else, and our lady’s trip was in vain. Do you know who our uncle is? Without our master taking action, our uncle can let you, a little girl, The store can’t open!”
The shopkeeper was anxious: “Master Zhao, who doesn’t know this?”
“How dare you be so negligent even after knowing that? Tell me, who did you sell that horse to? Now give it to our lady to get it back.”
A familiar voice came next: “I can pay double the price.”
Shen Ningning paused as she picked up the ruby bracelet.
It seems to be Ren Er’s voice?
After the last lightning strike incident, Ren Er was frightened and took his husband Zhao Lei and ran away that night.
Shen Ningning still thought that she was walking so fast that she couldn’t scare her again.
No, we bumped into each other again.
How could the shopkeeper dare to agree? How could he still take out the thousand gold threads that he had given to the wife of the big shot behind him?
But the power of the Zhao family is not something that his small shop can offend.
“Mrs. Zhao, please calm down. If you see this, I will buy another piece of golden silk someday and deliver it to your house first.”
Ren Er sat on the chair and touched his fingertips calmly: “Next time? I always make others wait, and no one dares to make me wait. Shopkeeper, I think you are not honest in business. I I’ve already offered you double the price and you still don’t agree, so don’t blame me for letting my servants smash up your store. You’re not honest anyway.”
The maid next to her said to the servants: “Do it!”
The shopkeeper yelled, but at this moment, a bright figure came out of the room.
“I thought who could be so powerful and want to show off by smashing other people’s shops. Turns out it’s you, second sister Ren.” Shen Ningning smiled.
When Ren Er saw her, his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.
“Why are you here?”
“Of course I’m here to buy something.”
“Just you?” Ren Er blurted out: “Can you afford it?” (End of Chapter)
