The shopkeeper was naturally happy to see a customer who bought three gold hairpins at once. But he still said with some embarrassment: "Miss, eighteen taels is too little. How about this, for three hairpins, I'll give you fifty-five taels?"

Before Shen Qingqian could say anything, Shen Jiao came forward and said, "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry, my second sister was just joking. She was separated from our family and is now an orphan. How could she have so much money?

She was afraid that I would know that she was not doing well, so she deliberately acted in front of me because she met me, her younger sister. "

The shopkeeper looked at Shen Jiao in confusion, then at Shen Qingqian, with a complicated expression. No matter how he looked at her, this girl didn't seem to be joking!

Others looked at them as well, and some began to whisper.

Some people say that Shen Qingqian is hypocritical, while others say that Shen Jiao is nosy.

Gao Xiuwen secretly pulled Shen Jiao's sleeve, signaling her to stop talking and leave quickly.

Shen Jiao looked at Gao Xiuwen with what she thought was a sincere look and said, "Brother Xiuwen, I am doing this for the good of my second sister. If she continues to do this, it will be too late to stop!"

"make a deal!"

As soon as Shen Jiao finished speaking, Shen Qingqian slapped a silver note of 100 taels on the counter and said, "Boss, it's 55 taels. I want it!"

The person in charge took the banknote and saw that it was indeed one hundred taels. He said happily, "Okay, young lady! Young lady is really straightforward. I'll ask the waiter to pack it for you right away!"

After he finished speaking, he glared at Shen Jiao unhappily, then busied himself with using the abacus, then took out forty-five taels of silver and gave it to Shen Qingqian as change.

Shen Jiao was stunned. That was one hundred taels of silver?

Shen Qingqian actually took out a hundred taels of silver? Where did she get so much money?

At this moment, the people around focused their discussion on Shen Jiao and began to point fingers at her.

Shen Jiao's face turned blue and white, and she didn't know how to deal with it!

However, Shen Qingqian was not going to let her go so easily. She was going to make her embarrassed today!

Shen Qingqian took the three wrapped gold hairpins, pointed at Shen Jiao and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I don't know her, and I don't know why she said that just now. Maybe she came here on purpose to destroy your business!

I wonder if she is a shill sent by another jewelry store? I think you should kick her out immediately, or she will stop others from buying things again!"

The shopkeeper also felt that Shen Jiao was a little weird, so he believed Shen Qingqian's words and ordered the waiter to kick her out immediately.

The waiter had been annoyed with Shen Jiao for a long time. After receiving the order from the shopkeeper, he rudely drove her away, as if he was chasing away a fly.

Gao Xiuwen was also kicked out. The two of them were as embarrassed as they could be, as shameful as they could be!

Shen Jiao recovered from her shock and found that Gao Xiuwen had walked away quickly.

She was ashamed and angry! She met Shen Qingqian by chance today. She had intended to embarrass Shen Qingqian in front of Gao Xiuwen, but she didn't expect that she would be the one who made a fool of herself in the end, and also implicated Gao Xiuwen!

I wonder what Gao Xiuwen would think of her?

She took a few quick steps and caught up with Gao Xiuwen, still speaking in a soft voice: "Brother Xiuwen, I'm sorry. It's all my fault today. I meant well, but I didn't expect that my second sister..."

"Jiaojiao!"

Gao Xiuwen interrupted her and said, "Didn't you say that she forced you to write the document of severing the relationship, and that she has nothing to do with you anymore? Why do you still want to provoke her?

I just advised you to leave quickly, why didn't you listen to me? Why did you have to make it so embarrassing, making you and me the laughing stock of everyone? "

Shen Jiao knew that Gao Xiuwen was really angry this time. She looked aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes, and she couldn't stop crying. Any man would feel pity for her when he saw her like this.

Sure enough, Gao Xiuwen softened his voice when he saw her like this, and said, "Okay, I shouldn't lose my temper with you. Don't you want to buy some clothes? I'll go to the clothing store with you."

Shen Jiao finally burst into laughter and said coquettishly, "Brother Xiuwen, you are so nice!"

Here, Shen Qingqian and Shen Qinglan came out of the jewelry store. Shen Qinglan said, "Qingqian, even if you deliberately wanted to piss off Shen Jiao, there's no need to buy so many hairpins? You spent more than fifty taels of silver in one go!"

Shen Qingqian said: "Who said I bought the hairpin to piss her off? She doesn't have that much face!

I really want to buy one. You get one, I get one, and I'll send another to Liu's house tomorrow."

It was almost noon when the two sisters returned to the hot pot restaurant. After packing up the gifts they had bought, customers started to arrive one after another.

Probably because it snowed yesterday, the weather today is exceptionally cold, but the hot pot restaurant is bustling with activity.

Today's business is also very good, and every table is full. Before the first wave of people have finished eating, the next wave of people have started waiting, and there are signs of a queue waiting to eat.

After taking care of the last table of guests, Shen Qingqian calculated that he had sold more than thirty taels of silver at noon today!

Shen Qingqian was a little excited. If things continued like this, the future would be very bright!

Shen Qingfeng wore a thick cotton coat and did not drive the ox cart. Instead, he walked to find Shen Dakuan.

Shen Dakuan worked in a relatively large grain store in the east of the city, where he was responsible for transporting grain.

Seeing Shen Qingfeng coming over, Shen Dakuan was a little surprised and asked, "Qingfeng, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Shen Qingfeng said: "Dad, there is something I need your help with. I don't know if you are free now. Let's go out and talk."

"Okay, I'll tell the shopkeeper."

The owner of the grain shop was a man in his thirties who looked very kind.

When Shen Qingfeng came in just now, the shopkeeper noticed him.

Before Shen Dakuan could speak, the shopkeeper said, "Old Shen, this is your son, right? He looks very good! He wants to talk to you about something, so go ahead. There are other people watching here!"

"Thank you, shopkeeper! Thank you, shopkeeper!"

Shen Dakuan and Shen Qingfeng said at the same time.

The two of them left the grain store and came to an empty warehouse. Shen Dakuan asked, "Qingfeng, tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Shen Qingfeng said: "Dad, can you take a day off tomorrow and go to the Liu family to propose marriage on my behalf?"

"Go to the Liu family to propose marriage? Which Liu family?"

Shen Dakuan was a little slow to react.

Shen Qingfeng said: "It's the home of Landlord Liu in the village."

Shen Dakuan was surprised and asked, "Landlord Liu's family? Didn't Landlord Liu kick you out because of the last incident? Will he agree to marry his daughter to you?"

Shen Qingfeng said: "Shuyao insisted, so Landlord Liu's family had no choice but to agree. I have already made an agreement with Landlord Liu, and I will come to propose marriage tomorrow.

I have found a matchmaker, and Dad can go with me tomorrow."

"Qingfeng, this is good news! Dad will ask for leave from the shopkeeper later. Let's go home together and tell your mother." Shen Dakuan said happily.

After all, Shen Qingfeng is his biological son. Even if his father has no sense of responsibility, he will be happy when his son gets married.
