Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

"Miss, I can give you an extra twenty taels."

Yuan Ruoxia felt a little sad about the extra twenty taels, as her monthly salary was only ten taels. However, she was happy to be able to disgust the third room.

Yuan Ruoxue turned back again and glanced at the two of them with disdain, "I will increase it to thirty taels."

"Forty taels."

"Fifty taels."

"Sixty taels."

......

Xu Tao watched the two of them raise the price leisurely. When she saw that they raised the price to one hundred taels and stopped bidding, she curled her lips and asked, "That's it?"

Her look successfully hurt the two women who were very concerned about their reputation. Their faces turned purple, but they did not raise the price.

"Shopkeeper, please tell me how much the jade hairpin costs."

"To answer my lady, the pearls used in the jade hairpin are round and flawless, and it is made of top-quality jadeite. It was carved by a highly skilled craftsman, so I'm selling it for six hundred taels."

The two sisters of the Yuan family opened their eyes wide in shock. The Treasure Pavilion had just opened, and it was their first time here. They had not expected the things inside to be so expensive. They had thought that a hundred taels would be the most expensive.

"Why, do you still want it? If you want, just give me seven hundred taels."

The two of them were neither up nor down, and the silver they had on them was not enough, so they left in shame.

Xu Tao sneered. The Yuan family was not an honest family. The old man kept their money tightly in his hands and hid it in a house he bought under an assumed name. On the surface, they lived a life commensurate with the Yuan family's salary.

She knew about this in her previous life. It was the old man of the Yuan family who knew that the family was about to be confiscated and that the only person who could survive was Yuan Lingbo, so he secretly told him. Unfortunately, the two of them were being watched closely and had no chance of getting the money.

Once, when life was really difficult, Yuan Lingbai took the risk to get the money, but was followed by guards sent by the new emperor. In the end, the money naturally fell into the new emperor's private treasury.

Unfortunately, she didn't overhear the location; the two of them were so cautious in their conversation. Yuan Lingbai was also wary of her and was unwilling to reveal it.

"Fifth sister, I'm here."

Xu Tao was thinking carefully about the house where the treasure was hidden when someone patted her shoulder. She was startled and touched her chest to catch her breath.

"I'm sorry, Fifth Sister, but did I scare you?"

"No, sister, see if there is anything you like."

Xu Tao took people to look around. Anyway, the money had only surfaced after the Yuan family was confiscated, and she still had more than ten years to slowly look for it.

After visiting the Treasure Pavilion, the two of them arrived at the Tianxiang Pavilion, but it was already full and there were no private rooms left, so they could only stare at each other.

"cousin."

The two turned around, and the fourth princess waved happily, "Third cousin, why are you here? Do you have a private room? My fifth sister and I want to eat inside."

"Of course there is. I will lead you there."

Xu Tao followed behind and observed the young man in front. The fourth sister called him third cousin, so it must be Xie Huainian.

The Xie family has a good tradition. They only marry wives and do not take concubines. A concubine can only be taken if the wife is over 30 years old and has not given birth to a child.

It is said that the Xie family almost had no descendants due to the disputes among their wives and concubines. Fortunately, one of the mistresses gave birth to twins and sent one of them to her parents' home early to save the family.

At that time, the ancestors of the Xie family thought that they would have no descendants, but they did not expect that there was still a single child left, so they immediately set family rules.

As for the truth of the matter, Xu Tao didn't know either. In her previous life, she had asked the palace maids to collect all kinds of gossip just to pass the time.

She had an impression of Sanlang Xie because he was somewhat similar to her future cousin-in-law. They were also good friends and neither of them liked to serve as an official in the court. But Meng Ziyan was lucky that he was a teacher, and being a teacher with many students all over the world was also respected.

But Xie Huainian is different, he likes doing business.

You have to know that nowadays, out of the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are ranked at the bottom. But I heard that the old man of the Xie family is quite supportive and has said that as long as the children like it, it's fine.

Of course, the emperor was more relieved after seeing this. After all, there were no more warriors, and the talents of the literary ones were average. If a family with slightly better talents appeared, they would still like to be merchants.

Xu Tao thought that maybe they were just trying to hide their edge, but having a title and money, life was pretty carefree.

Arriving at the box, Xie Huai Nian quickly knelt down and said, "Greetings to the two princesses."

"Third cousin, please get up quickly. Fifth sister is not someone who cares about empty formalities."

"Yes, my fourth sister and I will call you third cousin. Get up quickly."

Xie Huainian stood up only after hearing Princess An Ning's words. When he looked up, their eyes met, but he didn't have any romantic thoughts in his mind.

Xu Tao finally saw the man's face clearly. The young man had a face as beautiful as jade, but his physique didn't look like that of a scholar. He looked very strong. He was also not short, and was two heads taller than her.

After having the waiter serve the special dishes, Xie Huainian wisely left, leaving the two sisters and their fourth brother's maid in the room.

After they had their fill, they visited a few shops and arrived just before the palace gates were locked. When they returned to the palace, they saw their father and two mothers waiting eagerly for them. Feeling a little embarrassed, they took out the gifts they had bought before anyone spoke.

"Father, this jade pendant was specially selected for you by my fifth sister and I. Mother, this is the hairpin we selected."

The three elders happily accepted the gifts, immediately asked the palace servants to put them on them, and praised the two sisters for their filial piety.

After a day of strolling around, the two felt a little tired, so they said goodbye to the three people and returned to the princess's residence.

"Fifth sister, I want to sleep with you today."

"Okay."

Xu Tao had no objection. Her bed was very large, but the quilts had to be separate. She was used to having her own quilt.

"Wow~ An Ning, you're so nice... Who is it? Get out here, princess."

Xu Tao also noticed it and stared at the back of the tree. After two minutes of stalemate, the Ninth Princess walked out from behind the tree with a gloomy face.

"Ninth sister, didn't the emperor punish you with house arrest? How dare you disobey the emperor's order?"

"What are you talking about, Fourth Sister? I didn't leave the princess's residence, did I?"

In the following days, the Ninth Princess was not only annoying but also annoying. She would always stand in front of the palace gate, looking at people grimly, muttering to herself but no one knew what she was saying.

Xu Tao was so annoyed that she went to her father to complain, and only stopped when the man was detained in her own palace. However, she did not tell the queen about this matter immediately, which made her remember her and bully her mother in both open and covert ways.

Xu Tao really couldn't do anything to her, but she was not someone to be bullied. She often went to bring soup and water to her father, taking this opportunity to flatter him.

Emperor Xuan Jin was not angry, because his daughter trusted him.

After a few times, the queen lost her temper and Xu Tao gave in.

Three years passed quietly, and Xu Tao grew into a graceful young lady. She was about to reach marriage age, and it was time to discuss marriage.

"An Ning, tell mother what kind you like."

Wen Yurui was so annoyed by her daughter that she lost her temper. She had seen so many good men but was not satisfied with any of them. She was glad when An Rou chose the one, but she didn't expect that it would be her turn now.
