My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

"What? It's just a display stand, but it costs two hundred and ten taels... Your shop is really a rip-off! Why don't you just go and rob it in broad daylight?"

Lu Shengshi was shocked by the price and quickly grabbed the silver and yelled.

The shopkeeper was not surprised and said with a smile: "Girl, if you can afford it, buy it. If you can't afford it, don't talk nonsense. The door is over there, please."

As they were talking, two women in luxurious clothes walked into the shop.

One of the ladies also took a fancy to the jade display table and said excitedly, "I saw a display table like this when I went to the Wen Mansion many years ago. It was really grand and exquisite. I liked it very much at that time. I didn't expect to see another one today... I want it!"

"Of course, this is the most famous shop in Kyoto, and it really has good stuff! Madam Xu, since you like it, I won't compete with you for it."

Seeing that the other person was about to pay the money without saying a word, Lu Shengshi's face turned pale.

If she gave this ornament to someone else today, where would the Lu family's reputation be?

"I saw it first, I want it!"

"Uh……"

Mrs. Xu was stunned and looked at Lu Shengshi.

Lu Shengshi raised his head and slapped the two hundred taels of silver in his arms on the table: "This is two hundred taels! It's just a decoration. It's not too much for you to save me ten taels, right?"

The Lu family always bargains when buying things, but they only got ten taels of silver for an ornament, which is considered a bargain for the store.

"Pfft!"

Mrs. Xu looked at the other lady and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Lu Shengshi glared at the two of them: "What are you laughing at?"

"No, no, it's just that I often come to this shop. This is the most famous shop in Kyoto. All the customers who come here are regulars. I have never seen you, girl?"

Mrs. Xu asked deliberately.

Lu Shengshi straightened her back and said loudly: "I am the daughter of the Lu family, and my brother is Lu Zhanyao, a third-rank official of the current dynasty!"

Mrs. Xu looked bewildered: "Haha, I've never heard of it... But girl, I guess you don't know that everything in this shop is very expensive, and there has been a rule for many years, that is, customers can take it, but they can't give a penny."

When Lu Shengshi heard this, he immediately looked at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Mrs. Xu is a frequent customer of our store. Miss Lu, why don't you give the seat to Mrs. Xu?"

People gave Lu Shengshi a way out, but Lu Shengshi has always been overbearing and strong. When he encountered such a thing, he immediately became furious!

"Why should I give it to her? It was obviously me who saw the table first."

"Two hundred and ten taels."

The shopkeeper looked at her and repeated the price on the table with a little coldness.

Lu Shengshi's face flushed red, and she was so angry that she said to the shopkeeper, "Why are you so anxious? I can't take advantage of you for just a broken display stand. My Lu family is naturally not short of this little money...but the things in your shop are too expensive! I, I am not happy to see you rip off my customers!"

"Miss Lu!"

Madam Xu's face darkened: "Do you know whose shop this is? I advise you to go back and ask your brother who is a third-rank official, and you will know."

Hearing the sarcasm in Mrs. Xu's words, Lu Shengshi was out of breath.

But when she saw Madam Xu dressed in Sichuan brocade and covered in jewels, and the lady beside her who was even more graceful and elegant, she worried that she could not afford to offend her.

For a moment, Lu Shengshi was caught in an awkward dilemma.

At this moment, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded on the stairs...

"Lu Mansion? Is the girl Lu Zhanyao's sister?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man standing on the stairs. He was tall and straight, with a handsome face and fair skin.

Her hair was tied up high, with a simple jade hairpin pinned on her head that looked very valuable. She was wearing a blue suit that seemed to be tailor-made for her body, not an inch too big or too small.

Lu Shengshi had never seen such a handsome man before, and in her panic she even forgot to reply.

"Miss, our master is asking you, are you Lu Zhanyao's sister?"

Seeing that she was a girl staring at a man, the shopkeeper couldn't help but curl his lips and gave her a kind reminder.

Lu Shengshi came back to her senses, her face flushed, and she immediately said loudly: "That's right! My brother is Lu Zhanyao... It's a pity that there is someone knowledgeable in your store who knows my brother's name."

When these words came out, the shopkeeper was so angry that his nose was crooked.

How ignorant must someone be to dare to show off in their store!

"Haha, girl, it's better to save your energy when saying some things."

"Of course I know. My brother is a third-rank official in the court. Why should I tell you too much? This young master knows my brother. So, listen to me. My Lu family is not short of this little money, nor is it short of a jade display table. It doesn't matter if you don't want it!"

Lu Shengshi didn't want to embarrass herself in front of such a handsome man, so she just wanted to leave quickly.

The man in blue on the stairs asked her to stay...

"Miss, you are right. I do know your brother's name. I also know that your sister-in-law is Wen Qiqi, the daughter of the Wen family!"

Lu Shengshi was secretly happy!

Yup!

Why did I forget to move out of the Wen family to scare these blind people today!

The Lu family has only been in Beijing for a few years, but the Wen family is well-known in Kyoto!

"Young Master is right."

Lu Shengshi raised her voice, fearing that others could not hear her, and said to the two ladies, "My sister-in-law is the daughter of the Wen family, Wen Qiqi! Such ornaments are just ordinary things in my sister-in-law's dowry..."

She paused, then looked at the gentleman with extraordinary bearing, and continued, "Today, I just want to buy an ornament to go back with the jade table in my sister-in-law's dowry! But the shopkeeper of your shop doesn't know how to appreciate it. I, the Lu family, come to patronize your small shop, but he thinks I can't afford it!"

After hearing these ignorant words, the shopkeeper's face darkened.

The two ladies' faces were full of sympathy.

This Miss Lu might have gone too far!

If this store turns against them, not to mention the Lu Mansion, even if someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion dares to act wildly, they will never return.

"Son..."

Shopkeeper Fu spoke in a questioning tone.

The handsome young man in blue nodded his head slightly at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper remained silent. Seeing that the other party did not offend him this time, Lu Shengshi wanted to leave in a swagger.

"Young lady, don't worry. If you like this ornament, take it back. If it is lucky enough to catch the eye of your sister-in-law Wen Qiqi, our shop will be honored."

After saying that, the young man in blue asked the shopkeeper to really assemble the jade display table and hand it over to Lu Shengshi.

Lu Shengshi was shocked, staring at the table in the shopkeeper's hand with his eyes wide open...

"Young lady, don't be stunned. Our master has sent this table to the Lu Mansion."

Although the shopkeeper was very disgusted, but since the young master had spoken, what did a table matter?

Lu Shengshi swallowed his saliva, quickly put down the jade table, and turned to look at the young man in blue.

He is so handsome and can run a store like this, so he must be from a famous family, right?

He gave me such an expensive jade table when we first met, could it be...

love at first sight!
