The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily

"This... 75,000 taels?"

Upon hearing that Ruan Yunshan was willing to spend 75,000 taels just to get the Heavenly Palace to celebrate her birthday, the shopkeeper was immediately tempted.

After all, if he sold the same thing to Ruan Yunluo, he could only sell it for 66,666 taels, but if he sold it to Ruan Yunshan, he could sell it for more than 8,000 taels.

From the perspective of interests, he has no reason not to be tempted.

However, greed was only a moment. Fortunately, as the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, he was not a greedy and short-sighted person.

He knew in his heart that he, as the shopkeeper, was just a peddler in front of the counter. Although he looked respectable, he was actually nothing compared to the two customers in front of him.

Now, faced with a situation that was bound to offend people, it would be safer for him to follow the rules.

In this way, even if the matter gets out and is known by outsiders, their Treasure Pavilion will have a reason, integrity and dignity. When other nobles in the capital know about it, they will not be dissatisfied, but will look up to them instead.

On the contrary, if he smashed the signboard of the Treasure Pavilion for the sake of 8,000 taels of silver, not only would the past customers look down on their Treasure Pavilion, but they would also think that their collection pavilion was low-class.

Even the master behind him might want to settle accounts with him...

"Miss……"

The shopkeeper smiled apologetically and bowed awkwardly to Ruan Yunshan. He was about to reject her offer. At this time, Ruan Yunluo smiled and glanced at Ruan Yunshan. Without blinking, he also raised the price. "I'll offer 80,000 taels, just to celebrate the birthday of the Heavenly Palace. As for the rest, it's another price."

"you!"

Seeing that Ruan Yunluo was also bidding up the price, Ruan Yunshan gritted her teeth and continued to bid persistently, ignoring the maid's attempts to stop her: "Eighty-five thousand!"

"One hundred thousand."

"One hundred thousand?"

Hearing Ruan Yunluo directly bid up to 100,000, Ruan Yunshan stared in disbelief, "Second sister, just to compete with me, you are willing to spend an extra 30,000 taels of silver to buy a decoration, are you crazy?"

"I'm competing with you?"

Ruan Yunluo was surprised and thought it was ridiculous, "Little sister, if you don't compete with me, then I don't have to spend the extra 30,000 taels of silver, right?

You were the first to bid higher, and when you couldn't win, you said I was crazy. What kind of logic is that?"

"I……"

"okay."

Interrupting Ruan Yunshan's explanation, Ruan Yunluo sighed helplessly and looked at the shopkeeper next to him, "Shopkeeper, including the previous ones, the total is more than 103,400 taels, right?

I'll make it a round number for you: one hundred and three thousand five hundred taels.

Please help me pack my things and put them on the carriage, I will send someone back to get the banknotes for you..."

"This……"

The shopkeeper was somewhat tempted.

He quickly suppressed the greed in his heart and was about to tell Ruan Yunluo that he didn't need to raise the price... At this time, Ruan Yunshan gritted his teeth, raised his chin and looked at Ruan Yunluo provocatively, and offered again with a look of dissatisfaction, "One hundred and twenty thousand taels!"

"One hundred twenty thousand?"

Upon hearing the price, not only were the others shocked, but even the maids who had been following Ruan Yunshan silently became anxious.

"Miss!"

Pulling Ruan Yunshan's sleeve, the maid Luying lowered her voice and reminded her, "Miss, we only brought 80,000 taels of silver notes this time. You offered 120,000 taels, which is too much. I'm afraid we won't be able to explain to the lady and the master when we go back...

Besides, Madam asked you to come out alone to prepare birthday gifts for the Empress Dowager in order to show your love for her and to give you some exercise, not to let you use the money to get angry with others..."

"Oh I know."

Feeling a little annoyed, Ruan Yunshan waved her hand to stop Luying's nagging.

Of course she knew that it was not cost-effective to buy the ornament for 120,000 taels. She was just feeling aggrieved and wanted to take the opportunity to raise the price and force Ruan Yunluo to bid again.

If Ruan Yunluo could spend tens of thousands more taels, she would feel relieved.

"Humph."

With this plan in mind, after Ruan Yunshan made the bid, she snorted coldly and deliberately raised her chin to look at Ruan Yunluo provocatively, waiting for Ruan Yunluo to continue raising the price.

Unfortunately, after she waited for a while, Ruan Yunluo just smiled faintly but didn't speak again.

Because from the beginning to the end, Ruan Yunluo had no intention of buying that heavenly palace to celebrate his birthday.

She never intended to use the gifts to attract attention at the Empress Dowager's birthday party, nor did she expect to please the Empress Dowager with the birthday gifts.

She understood that she was still the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family in name.

Given the current relationship between the Xiao family and the Hua family, no matter how much she tries to please the Queen Mother, she will not appreciate it. Instead, she will only find her an eyesore.

For now, she had better live a stable and moderate life.

Now, seeing Ruan Yunshan suddenly raise the price by another 20,000 taels, looking provocative and waiting for her to bid, she stopped while she was ahead, smiled and shook her head helplessly and said: "Little sister, since you are so persistent and willing to bid up to 120,000 taels, how can I, as your elder sister, bear to continue to compete with you?"

"Just one hundred and twenty thousand taels."

As Ruan Yunshan looked a little dazed, Ruan Yunluo smiled with regret and reminded the stunned shopkeeper next to him, "Shopkeeper, why are you still standing there?

Since she has volunteered to spend 120,000 taels to build this palace for her birthday, why don't you help her set it up?"

“Oh, yes…”

The shopkeeper came to his senses and nodded quickly.

Thinking that it was Ruan Yunshan who started this matter, and that the Treasure Pavilion was right no matter what, the shopkeeper simply ignored Ruan Yunshan's panic-stricken expression.

He smiled and waved his hand to the maids waiting on the side, urging them, "Why are you still standing there? Help this young lady put up the birthday presents in the palace."

"Yes."

The maids came to their senses, hurried forward, and carefully packed the Tiangong birthday gifts into a box.

Seeing how swift and skillful they were, the shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and smiled at Ruan Yunluo, bowed respectfully, and said, "Madam, are there any other treasures in this store that you like?

If you like any, just say so.

To express our apology to the Treasure Pavilion, I will give you a 20% discount."

"Ah."

Ruan Yunluo nodded with satisfaction.

His eyes fell on the white porcelain peony branch ornament next to the Tiangong Heshou, and Ruan Yunluo smiled and said, "Just help me put up that white porcelain peony."

"Yes."

The shopkeeper quickly agreed.

He asked the maids to pack the white porcelain peony for Ruan Yunluo. He took the abacus and calculated skillfully for a while, then smiled and said to Ruan Yunluo: "Madam, this white porcelain peony is 15,000 taels, plus other miscellaneous things, the total is 18,446 taels.

After a 20% discount, it comes to 14,756 taels.

Just give me the whole amount, 14,700 taels will do."

"Ah."

Ruan Yunluo nodded and signaled to Nanny Wan to pay the bill.

After Nanny Wan happily paid the bill, she smiled and nodded to Ruan Yunshan, and was personally escorted downstairs by the shopkeeper.

"Madam, have a good trip..."

After safely delivering the peony branches to the carriage, the shopkeeper watched Ruan Yunluo's carriage go away, then turned back to the second floor and began to urge Ruan Yunshan to pay the bill with a smile, "Miss, everything you want has been packed. Look, why don't you send someone back to get the money first..."
