Chapter 140 Sophistication
The two siblings were startled and raised their eyes to look at the person coming.
The man who came was tall and handsome, holding a folding fan and looking like a carefree playboy.
"This is a good deal. You have a good sense." Yu Yuan took the pen in his hand and looked at it carefully before throwing it back to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning caught it carefully, fearing that it would fall to the ground and break it.
You haven’t paid for it yet, so who’s responsible if it breaks?
Seeing that it was Yu Yuan, Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile: "How come Prince Yu has time to come here?"
"Hmph, leave the restaurant to me and come to Linglong Pavilion by yourself. Why, you can come but I can't?"
Yu Yuan held a grudge and was very dissatisfied with Jiang Shu for tricking him into a trap and becoming the shopkeeper.
Especially when Jiang Shu kept saying that she was busy, but he caught her wandering around again, Yu Yuan became even more angry.
Jiang Shu knew that he was in the wrong and wanted to give a gift to settle it: "If Prince Yu likes this thing in the pavilion, I will give it to you."
"You'll give me whatever you like?" Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked, his eyes searching quickly.
Jiang Shu's heart skipped a beat and he risked his life and said, "As long as Prince Yu likes it."
When Yu Yuan heard this, he smiled slyly and began to choose carefully.
Seeing his posture, Jiang Ning approached Jiang Shu and whispered: "Sister, he seems to have evil intentions."
Jiang Shu nodded: "I know, go and see if there is anything else you like."
Although Yu Yuan is a bit arrogant and bad, he keeps his word and takes responsibility, and can distinguish right from wrong. Yu Zheng's ability to make friends with him is enough to prove that he is outstanding.
It's just a matter of spending some money, just to please my younger brother.
Yu Yuan carefully selected for a long time and selected a white jade folding fan.
"Iku Shizi has a good eye. The frame of this white jade fan is made of Nanyang white jade, with exquisite patterns carved on it. The landscape painting on the fan was painted by the master himself. It is unique and suits Yu Shizi just right."
The waiter smiled coyly and spared no effort in praising me.
Yu Yuan heard it very well, unfolded the folding fan, shook it, and said with satisfaction: "I want this fan."
"Thanks to Prince Yu for your patronage, this white jade fan is priced at one thousand eight hundred taels." The waiter smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.
Hearing the price, Yu Yuan trembled in his heart and could barely hold the fan in his hand.
Although Prince Rong was a relative of the emperor and had a rich family fortune, it was not so extravagant, and the monthly allowance given to him was only one hundred and fifty taels.
One thousand eight hundred taels, including the monthly profit distribution and Cuiyun Tower's profit distribution, would have to be saved for several months without spending a penny. If he had bought this for himself, he would definitely be heartbroken.
With a guilty cough, Yu Yuan looked at Jiang Shu pretending to be calm.
Jiang Shu smiled and said generously: "I'll see Prince Yu off."
One thousand eight hundred taels was nothing to Jiang Shu. Being able to have a close relationship with Yu Yuan was a good deal.
Jiang Shu was happy, but Jiang Ning was not.
Although the Jiang family is wealthy, money does not come from strong winds. How can they spend so much on an outsider casually?
Although he was dissatisfied, Jiang Ning did not say it out loud. He understood that his sister's actions were justified.
"Tan Yu, give me the money." Jiang Shu told Tan Yu to pay for the jade fan first so that the waiter and Yu Yuan could rest assured.
Yu Yuan was overjoyed to get a jade fan in vain, and all the resentment towards Jiang Shu in his heart disappeared. Throwing the old fan to the boy, he shook his new fan and prepared to go back and show off.
"Yu Shizi came here just for this folding fan?" Jiang Shu wondered.
Yu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the purpose of coming to Linglong Pavilion.
"I almost forgot about the important matter." Yu Yuan put away the folding fan and slapped his palm, looking at the treasures on the shelf and choosing carefully.
Jiang Shu smiled and started picking out gifts with Jiang Ning.
"Hey, that whip is pretty good. Take it off, my prince, and have a look." Yu Yuan chose one for a long time, but didn't like it. He accidentally looked up and saw the whip hanging on the wall.
Jiang Shu and Jiang Ning were attracted by Yu Yuan's surprised voice and subconsciously turned their heads to look.
It was a long black whip with five-color gemstones inlaid on both ends of the handle, which was very unique and beautiful.
It's just that this whip is for the girl's family at first glance.
Jiang Shu couldn't help but be curious: "Is Yu Shizi going to send him to the girl's house?"
Yu Yuan nodded and took a closer look at the whip.
Yu Yuan was born into a royal family, and the girls he met and befriended were definitely the ladies of high-ranking noble families. Isn't this long whip inappropriate?
Jiang Shu was afraid that Yu Yuan would give the wrong gift, so he reminded her softly: "Why don't you choose jewelry for the girl?"
"I think she likes this better." Yu Yuan looked at the whip in his hand and was very satisfied.
Hearing what Yu Yuan said, I guess he knew it well, so Jiang Shu said no more.
"Sister, look at this." Jiang Ning shouted in surprise.
Jiang Shu looked away and saw Jiang Ning holding a gold and ruby bracelet, which was particularly delicate and beautiful.
"Young Master has a good eye. The gemstone inlaid on this bracelet is ruby coral. Not only is the workmanship unique and exquisite, but the design is also ingenious and unique."
After seeing Jiang Shu's financial resources, the clerk's attitude changed drastically. Carefully took the bracelet from Jiang Ning's hand and showed it to them.
"There is a hidden buckle here. After opening it, you can put fragrant beads into the bracelet. Wear it on your wrist and the fragrance will spread all over your body. It is wonderful."
"No wonder I smell the fragrance of this bracelet. It turns out there are fragrant beads inside." Jiang Ning suddenly realized.
Jiang Shu thought it was exquisite and unique, and Sun Yijun would definitely like the ruby coral bead bracelet, so he ordered it.
It was already evening when he came out of Linglong Pavilion. Jiang Ning rubbed his stomach and said, "Sister, I'm hungry."
"Let's go to Cuiyun Tower." Jiang Shu said in a pampering tone.
By the time it was time to eat, Cuiyun Tower was already occupied by more than half of the guests. The siblings went straight to the private room and ordered a table of dishes.
While waiting for the food, Jiang Ning chatted with Jiang Shu.
"Sister, why did you give Yu Shizi something so valuable?"
Jiang Ning doesn't know the relationship between Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng, nor the origin between Jiang Shu and Yu Yuan, so it's normal to have doubts.
Looking at the dissatisfied young man, Jiang Shu leaned close to his ear and whispered in his ear: "He is the crown prince, and it is only because of him that no one dares to cause trouble in Cuiyun Tower. Being familiar with him will also be beneficial to Jiang Ji." "
“In business, it’s not enough to have brains and vision. You also need to have connections and backers.”
After hearing this, Jiang Ning pursed her lips and said, "It's really troublesome."
This is why he doesn't want to go into business.
Jiang Shu touched the young man's head and explained softly: "This is not a trouble, it is a matter of human nature, which is needed not only for business but for anything."
Even in officialdom, the same is true.
Although Jiang Ning is still young, she has a flexible mind and can tell everything clearly.
He remembered that the last time Jiang's father was seriously injured, it was only through Jiang Shu's relationship that he could hire an imperial physician.
The two siblings talked and the food came quickly.
They are all Jiang Ning's favorite food. He has been thinking about them for a long time and enjoys them very much.
One day passed in a blink of an eye, and the next day Jiang Shu put on men's clothes to take care of Jiang Ji.
She was just about to go out this morning when she heard a servant come to report that Shen Changze was here.
What is he here for?
Jiang Shu frowned immediately: "No, tell him the Jiang family doesn't welcome him."
"Yes." The servant followed the order.
Afraid of running into Shen Changze and being entangled by him, Jiang Shu waited for a quarter of an hour before going out.
Unexpectedly, Shen Changze was still outside, and when he saw Jiang Shu, he came over.
"Jiang Shu, I have something to tell you."
Jiang Shu's eyes were cold and his words were sarcastic: "Master Hou, do you want to pay back the money?"
Shen Changze suffocated and said with a little embarrassment, "No."
"Then the Marquis and I have nothing to say." Jiang Shu said and was about to leave.
Shen Changze became anxious and grabbed her wrist.
