Chapter 12 Don't Feel Sorry for Men
Leng Qianqian?
Ye Qiongying looked at the thing in surprise.
I heard yesterday that Yin Xu moved the account books back and planned to let Leng Qianqian be the housekeeper.
How come, after looking at that shabby account, you still have the mood to buy new clothes? You don't really think that the money in your house can bloom and bear fruit for no reason.
Leng Qianqian was also surprised to see Ye Qiongying.
This person never went out for a stroll before, but why did he come to Jinxiu Pavilion today?
But thinking that the power of housekeeper is already in her hands, Ye Qiongying might be resentful and think of using shopping to fill the emptiness in her heart?
A smile soon appeared on Leng Qianqian's face, and she looked at Ye Qiongying:
"Sister Ye... Madam, how come you still have time to come to Jinxiu Pavilion today? I've never seen you here before."
Ye Qiongying raised her eyelids:
"Is it strange that I'm here? But you... actually have the guts to come here, which also surprises me."
Leng Qianqian covered her mouth and smiled:
"Ma'am, you are joking."
After saying this, as if to deliberately show off in front of Ye Qiongying, he said to the receptionist in Jinxiu Pavilion:
"Is the dress I came to see two days ago still available? I ordered it today."
Unexpectedly, the woman who received Ye Qiongying said awkwardly:
"I'm sorry, that dress has just been ordered. Madam, you are a little late. We have other new styles in our shop. How about..."
"What?! Who, who decided to leave?" Leng Qianqian wanted to act smart in front of Ye Qiongying, but she didn't expect to get such a result. Of course she was not satisfied.
She fell in love with the skirt at first sight.
However, the price was so high that she had to hesitate.
But yesterday she got the management power of the Marquis' Mansion, and Yin Xu said that she could use the money of the Marquis' Mansion as she pleased.
Leng Qianqian naturally thought about taking off her skirt when she woke up today.
Who knew that I was a step too late.
"I'm sorry, but we won't reveal the identity of our customers at will in our shop."
Leng Qianqian felt even worse when she heard this, but she soon saw Ye Qiongying standing aside and immediately reacted:
"Ma'am, is that you?"
Ye Qiongying did not hide it and smiled:
"What's wrong with me? It's just a red dress. I just decided on it because I liked it. Are you surprised? If it's okay, please move aside. I still need to measure the size."
Leng Qianqian immediately became anxious.
Each of these four dresses is extremely luxurious, and the red dress is particularly stunning and the most expensive.
If Ye Qiongying were allowed to go through, what would happen if the Marquis was blinded?
Besides, how could Ye Qiongying take away such a beautiful skirt?
Leng Qianqian's eyes immediately became wet, and she looked at Ye Qiongying pitifully:
"Madam, you don't need this kind of skirt, can you...can you give it to me? I have liked this skirt for a long time, and it took a lot of effort to get it...I beg you to be kind and give it to me, okay?"
Upon hearing this tune, Ye Qiongying couldn't help but think of the so-called true love in their previous life. She frowned in disgust, but laughed the next moment:
"Give it to you? Okay."
This straightforward attitude made Leng Qianqian stunned at first, and then happy.
Unexpectedly, before she could cheer up, Ye Qiongying continued:
"Even if I give it to you, can you wear it? I remember that only the wife of the main house can wear this bright red, right? You are not even a concubine now, and you want to wear bright red? By the way, I heard that there was an extra stack of account books in your yard yesterday? From the looks of you, you haven't read them carefully, otherwise how can you be in the mood to stand here and choose a new dress?
I advise you to go back and take a good look. By then, let alone a new dress, you may even lose your appetite.”
After finishing speaking, Ye Qiongying turned to the receptionist and said:
"Let's go and get measured."
Leng Qianqian hadn't realized what was wrong with the account book, but she realized that Ye Qiongying's so-called giving it to her was just a joke!
But it is indeed as Ye Qiongying said.
With her current status, she can't wear that skirt at all.
Leng Qianqian clenched her fists and looked at Ye Qiongying's back with gritted teeth.
You wait.
Sooner or later I will become the real lady of the Marquis's Mansion. By then, I will not only get the position of the principal wife, but also the love of the Marquis, and even this red dress today!
The receptionist asked cautiously:
"Ma'am, do you want to choose something else? Why don't we go inside..."
Before he could finish his words, Leng Qianqian started scolding him:
"What's the point of choosing? This is a shitty store. Even the things you ordered can be snatched away by others. It's a waste of its name!"
As soon as these words came out, the manager of Jinxiu Pavilion on the other side frowned, and immediately stepped forward to protect the receptionist aside, and said to Leng Qianqian:
"We at Jinxiu Pavilion never have the rule of ordering clothes without paying a deposit. Now, please leave. Jinxiu Pavilion does not welcome customers like you who throw dirty water, and we will not do business with you in the future."
Leng Qianqian wanted to ask why on the spot, but seeing the serious face of the manager and the thugs who were about to be called in from outside, she immediately became intimidated and left the store in shame.
Big stores like this one that do booming business in the capital city all have powerful backing behind them.
How dare she throw a tantrum?
Ye Qiongying ordered the skirt inside and paid for it. She then walked out of the store refreshed. Just as she was about to go to the shop in the west of the city to check out the weapons, she was stopped by someone:
"lady!"
The person who called her was Leng Qianqian who had just been kicked out.
Ye Qiongying went to measure the size of the clothes, and missed the good show.
"Madam, you finally came out," Leng Qianqian said with red eyes, "Actually, I didn't mean to snatch the skirt from you. I just felt that the price of the skirts in Jinxiu Pavilion was too high, it was simply a rip-off. And it's not easy for the Marquis to make money, we are the women behind him, we should also sympathize with him, how can we let Jinxiu Pavilion make money? That's why... Alas! It's just that I'm dumb and can't speak, so you misunderstood."
Ye Qiongying couldn't help but sneered when she heard this:
"Don't talk nonsense. With that few taels of silver from Yin Xu, he wants to order a skirt from Jinxiu Pavilion? I'm spending my dowry money, what does it have to do with you!
As for Jinxiu Pavilion, they open their doors to do business openly, the fabrics are exquisite, the clothes are beautiful, they deserve to make money. If you can't afford it, forget it, why slander them in front of their shop?
You look like a poor beggar who can't marry a rich girl and deliberately says sour things outside. "
"Madam, you're right!" The manager of Jinxiu Pavilion happened to have a small gift ready for Ye Qiongying, a big client, so he chased out and heard the conversation between the two. He first thanked Ye Qiongying, and then looked at Leng Qianqian.
"Madam, I was wrong just now. From now on, not only will Jinxiu Pavilion not do business with you, but any famous clothing store in the capital will not welcome you. Since you are so virtuous and know how to save money, you can just weave and cut clothes at home in the future, and don't give us money."
After saying this, he bowed to Ye Qiongying again before returning to Jinxiu Pavilion.
Ye Qiongying kindly reminded Leng Qianqian:
"Jinxiu Pavilion has cooperative relationships with most of the clothing shops in Beijing. You may really have to find a way to make clothes yourself in the future. However... since you were rejected by Jinxiu Pavilion, your fabrics are deliberately difficult to buy. Sigh... So, Leng Qianqian, I'll give you a free piece of advice. Don't feel sorry for men, otherwise you will be unlucky."
After she finished speaking, she ignored Leng Qianqian and turned around and left with Wen Ping.
Leng Qianqian was struck by lightning.
She never expected that she would be banned just after she got the housekeeper's power and spent some money. Where would she make new clothes in the future? !
On the other side of the teahouse.
The handsome young man sat by the window, holding a purse in his hand, quietly watching the scene downstairs, muttering:
"Leng Qianqian, is that her?"
