"Twenty-three."

The shopkeeper corrected him softly, flattering him without showing any emotion, "Your sister has good taste. She has chosen new products that are unique to our shop. The styles are very original. The embroiderer's craftsmanship, the silk and threads she uses are all of the best. So the price... is naturally much higher."

"More than three thousand taels is indeed not a small amount. If the princess did not bring enough money, I can also send someone to get it. I still have to give face to the Tongjia Mansion and the princess, and I can trust them."

Tong Jia Qingyou's face was pale and her calves were trembling slightly.

She was just a concubine's daughter and she would never see so much money throughout the year. If this matter were to be reported back to the mansion, she would probably be beaten to death by her father.

It was Tong Jia Qingtang who asked her to go just now, and we can't just ignore her life or death.

"Sister..."

She spoke in a trembling voice, her eyes full of pleading.

Tong Jia Qingtang glared at her, but pursed her lips and said nothing.

She had some money in her hand, but it was given to her by her mother as a dowry according to her own wishes. It was only five thousand taels in total, and she hadn't bought anything yet...

Damn it, I’m really in trouble today. Every time I meet Ulanala Xiyu, things go wrong.

The checkout time here is too long, and there are already several people waiting.

If she didn't give it, not only would it be a disgrace to Tongjia Qingyou and Tongjia Mansion, but also her own face!

"Wen Yuan."

She helplessly called the maid beside her, "Give me money."

After saying that, she left without looking back, and Tong Jia Qingyou hurriedly followed.

After Wen Yuan left, Xiyu took advantage of the fact that the guests outside were not paying attention and went directly to the second floor.

There is a spacious room on the second floor, which is specially prepared for the host.

The shopkeeper followed Xiyu with the account book in hand, "Fujin, I was so disappointed that I didn't recognize you the first time...."

"It's okay. I've never been here before. It's normal that you don't know me, not to mention that I deliberately concealed it."

Xiyu had no intention of blaming him. Thinking of Tong Jia Qingtang's ugly face before he left, she just felt happy.

This trip was not in vain.

"How much did Tong Jia Qing Tang earn from that deal just now?"

Her tone suddenly became a little excited.

"After deducting the cost, I made about 3,100 taels."

There are so many!

She just made a gesture, which meant doubling the price.

If she could catch a sucker every day, why couldn't she earn 500,000 taels of silver?

Although Xi Yu was looking forward to it, he also knew that it was pure coincidence that he was able to trick the other party today, plus he had added fuel to the fire, and it would be unlikely for him to have this opportunity again in the future.

"Does Fu Jin want to check the accounts?"

Xi Yu didn't want to be so tired, so she shook her head gently, "Just give the account book to Dong Shuang. I came here today to ask you for a few smart and skilled embroiderers. I have an idea in my mind recently, and I want to find someone to realize it. If it works, maybe I can open a branch."

"I will go look for him right away. Please wait for a moment, Madam."

The shopkeeper moved swiftly and brought the people in less than half a cup of tea. They were two embroiderers who had worked in Yunshangfang for many years. They were pretty, honest and reliable.

Judging from his appearance, he should be less than 30 years old, which is the age when he has superb skills.

Xi Yu nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, that's it for the two of them. Put aside your work at Yunshangfang for now, go home and pack your belongings, say goodbye to your family, and wait at the back door of Prince Yong's mansion tomorrow. Someone will take you into the mansion."

"Yes."

The two of them responded.

Tong Jia Qingtang was eager to escape from Yunshangfang and walked very quickly.

This is the most prosperous street. Both sides of the street are lined with famous shops in the capital, with a wide variety of valuable and new items. Those who come here are naturally rich or noble.

She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of so many people.

"Sister Di."

Tong Jia Qingyou was young and short, so she naturally couldn't keep up with her fast strides.

He jogged after him and stopped him.

"Sister, just now——"

Tong Jia Qingtang stopped and shouted.

"How dare you bring that up? I asked you to go up and embarrass her, but you were so focused on snatching clothes from her. You bought so many clothes, but do you have a single piece that you can wear?"

"Do you know that the three thousand taels of silver I just spent most of the money my mother gave me. That was extra money my mother gave me, specifically for me to buy things and make-up, but I bought a bunch of rags."

All the pent-up anger in her suddenly burst out.

Those clothes are obviously in good condition, not tattered.

However, if it were included in the dowry, it would not be enough to hold the scene.

Tong Jia Qingyou didn't dare to refute at all. She lowered her head with red eyes and remained silent.

Just now, her elder sister spent money to save her life, avoiding the possibility of her being beaten to death by her father. Let her say a few words, it's not like she will lose a piece of meat.

"Oh my~ Whose little girl is this? She's crying like this. It makes me feel so distressed."

A man walked over from a distance, his eyebrows slightly raised and his voice drawn out and slow.

A pair of upturned fox eyes seemed to carry a kind of magical power that could bewitch people's minds, and the lake blue robe showed off his appearance and noble aura.

The redness in Tong Jia Qingyou's eyes spread outwards, and her whole face seemed to be red.

No prospects!

Tong Jia Qingtang glanced at her, then stepped forward to block her, "Why is Ninth Prince here if he's not studying in the palace? Did he skip school?"

"Why is Eighth Sister-in-law so angry? I'm here to comfort the frustrated pretty lady."

He opened the folding fan in his hand and waved it lazily twice, his every move exuding a free and unrestrained temperament.

During this period, those seductive fox eyes were always on Tong Jia Qingyou.

Hearing the words "Eighth Sister-in-law", Tong Jia Qingtang's eyes stabbed him like a knife, "What nonsense! You don't know the rules!"

Yinzhen didn't expect that the other party would dare to scold him. His dark eyes sank and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth again.

"It's only a matter of time. Why do you have to be so serious about it, Tong Jia Gege?"

"If it weren't for the fact that myna was punished and couldn't come out, I wouldn't be here at this time. I don't want to discuss matters here, so Tong Jia Gege should come with me."

As he said that, he went ahead and went to the Zuixian Tower nearby.

This is his property.
