"Sister Yang!" Mei Ruoruo grabbed Yang Jiaqi's other hand, "Shall we go together?"

Yang Jiaqi smiled her first genuine smile since Mei Ruoruo, "But we have to go to the third floor."

Third floor? What happened to the third floor?

Do you think you can stop me from following you just because you say you're going to the third floor?

You really underestimated me!

"I was going to the third floor too."

Mei Ruoruo said this with an innocent look on her face.

Others looked up to her.

Mingyue and Yang Jiaqi looked at each other and blinked. "Okay, if Miss Mei wants to come, then come."

"Yes, thank you, Princess! Sister!"

She deliberately emphasized the word "Princess" to show her intimacy with Mingyue.

The three of them went up to the third floor.

Before going upstairs, the waiter at the stairs asked Mei Ruoruo's name and residence, and repeatedly confirmed whether she wanted to go up.

Annoyed by the waiter's questions, Mei Ruoruo almost revealed her true colors, "Nonsense... Uh, of course, I'm definitely going up."

"Oh, that's right, maybe Miss Mei doesn't know that our store..."

Mei Ruoruo stood there awkwardly. Mingyue and Yang Jiaqi were too impatient to wait for her, so she hurriedly urged the waiter, "Why are you dawdling? I know what's going on. I want to go up."

She thought the waiter was going to talk about the rules that had just been mentioned downstairs, that upon entering, one must make a purchase or pay an entrance fee of ten taels of silver.

She thought that buying a hairpin would only cost one or two taels of silver at most, and she could afford it, so she didn't think much of it.

When the waiter heard this, he immediately made a gesture of "please".

Mei Ruoruo raised her head and went upstairs under the gazes of some people who might be envious or curious.

Although I don't know why, the third floor seems to be more upscale, both in terms of decoration and the jewelry on display, but there are not many people there.

Moreover...the servants here serve even more attentively.

Then, Mei Ruoruo naturally enjoyed it.

"You, pour me a cup of tea."

Mei Ruoruo looked at the people serving Mingyue, who were feeding her fruits and snacks. Seeing how happily she ate, she felt a little hungry too.

"Hey, eh, bring me another plate of snacks like the one the princess has."

"Yes."

The waiters here are well-trained and have good qualities. Even if they encounter disrespectful customers, they will not lose their faces and will continue to serve with a smile.

For Mei Ruoruo, who is always restricted in doing anything while living under someone else's roof, this is simply a place to release negative energy, and she doesn't need to disguise herself at all.

After eating and drinking her fill, she followed Mingyue and the others' example and walked to the counters covered with gauze curtains, taking a closer look at what was inside.

Mingyue chose one and asked someone to take it out for viewing.

Mei Ruoruo also wanted someone to take it out and admire it, "Sister, are you interested in this hairpin?"

"Well, I'll just take a look." Mingyue was too lazy to tell her the purpose of her visit, for fear of being "blackmailed".

Mei Ruoruo laughed in her heart. She was indeed the silly daughter of a landlord. Her aesthetic taste was unique.

Why does a little girl like dark colors so much? And that style is something her mother wouldn't even wear. It's more suitable for an old lady.

She glanced at Yang Jiaqi over there and saw that she looked the same, rustic.

Sure enough, people who can play together must have similar interests.

She also praised them casually, "Sisters, you made a great choice. It really suits you two."

These words were sarcastic, and Mingyue and Yang Jiaqi's mouths twitched.

If we only talk about Yang Jiaqi, it would definitely be sarcastic.

But she also mentioned Mingyue, which might be her flattery that backfired...

Neither of them paid any attention to her and continued to choose.

Soon, both of them had chosen the items they liked, and had them packed and sent to their respective homes.

Mei Ruoruo just felt that they were pretending.

Tsk, someone has to make a special trip just for this little thing.

And even sent it home, wow.

You are so pretentious.

Unlike her, she could just take this little thing away.

But why is the clerk in front of me looking at me like that?

"Miss Mei, do you really not need to be sent to your house?"

"Of course, it's just this little thing, I can just wear it on my head."

It was the first time the clerk had encountered such a customer on the third floor. "Okay, please wait a moment."

She lowered her head and quickly wrote something on the paper. Then she stamped it with her seal and handed it to Mei Ruoruo with both hands. "Here is the bill for the 'Green Bamboo Nannan Comb' you purchased. Please pay one hundred and thirty-six taels."

"Um, well…what?"

"One hundred and thirty-six taels?"

"Why don't you go and rob?!"

Mei Ruoruo was shocked. She had never seen so much money in her life.

The total amount of money she had earned since she was a child was only about ten taels, and now a small bamboo comb would cost one hundred and thirty taels?!

Mei Ruoruo didn't know that this store was an ancient luxury store.

The first floor is a place where ordinary people can sell things;

The second floor is accessible only to those with a certain level of spending power;

The third floor is something that only wealthy people can afford. Wealth and nobility are both indispensable.

Every time you go up a floor, you get a feeling of crossing a class barrier, so even if many people don’t have anything to buy, they are willing to spend some money to come in and take a look.

This is also the reason why the waiter at the corner asked her several times when Mei Ruoruo insisted on going to the third floor.

Mei Ruoruo's noise attracted a lot of people.

Since the checkout counter was right at the stairs, some people on the second floor and even the first floor looked up to see what was happening up there.

Mei Ruoruo blushed, "This...this comb, I suddenly don't like it anymore, can I not have it?"

The clerk is very perceptive, which was common when the shop first opened a few years ago.

They are all people who accidentally entered the third floor and cannot afford to spend money.

Her gentle voice made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze, but also made Mei Ruoruo feel like she was falling into an icy cave. "Sure, then you only need one hundred taels."

? ? ? ? ?

"No, I don't want anything, why should I give you a hundred taels!!" Mei Ruoruo broke down.

"Don't you know? We need to pay ten taels of silver to enter the store, regardless of whether we make any purchases. The second floor requires fifty taels of silver, and the third floor requires one hundred taels of silver."

"The 'Green Bamboo Nanmu Comb' you just selected is made from a combination of century-old green bamboo and fine golden nanmu wood. Whether it's its appearance or its unique fragrance, it's unmatched by any other comb."

"Daily use can protect and nourish your hair. Long-term use can also make your hair thicker. Moreover, our Lu family shop provides permanent repair services. The price of one hundred and thirty-six taels is very fair."

no…

Is this price really fair?!
