Chapter 98 Whatever you like, I'll buy it for you
Shen Xia smiled slightly and said, "Oh~ Really? It turns out that the rouge you sell is made of gold. It's so expensive. I really want to take a good look at it!" After that, she walked into the store and looked at the rouge carefully.
The little girl stopped her and said, "Hey, why don't you understand me? I told you not to buy it if you can't afford it. We can't sell it if it gets dirty."
Shen Xia just glanced at her calmly, then turned her head away, pointed at the box of rouge she had seen before and asked, "How much is this box of rouge?"
The girl's eyes flashed with disdain, and she replied contemptuously: "This costs three taels of silver, can you afford it?"
Shen Xia rolled her eyes and complained inwardly, this girl is really looking down on others!
Looks like she needs to be taught a lesson.
He said directly: "I want it, please help me wrap it up."
Hearing this, the girl's expression changed instantly, and her original disdain and contempt were replaced by surprise.
She widened her eyes in disbelief and hurriedly confirmed, "Really?"
At the same time, the woman standing nearby also showed a look of contempt and interrupted, "Can you believe her words? Look at the way she's dressed, how can she afford it?"
Shen Xia nodded in affirmation, and took out a ten-liang silver note from his pocket and showed it to the girl.
When the clerk saw it, his face was immediately filled with smiles and his attitude became extremely enthusiastic. He quickly said, "Okay, please wait a moment, I will pack it for you right away."
This is the most expensive rouge in the store. Since this is in the county, ordinary rouge is only a little more than one or two taels of silver.
These three taels of silver require a lot of money.
It makes me happy just thinking about it. I didn’t expect that I would have such luck.
After saying that, she quickly picked up the box of rouge and began to pack it carefully.
As she immediately picked up the box of rouge and held it up.
"Wait!" Shen Xia suddenly shouted, "How can you pick up such an expensive item with your hands? What if it gets dirty? How can a small shop assistant like you touch such an expensive item?"
When the little girl heard this, she immediately flew into a rage and said angrily, "If you want to buy it, I will definitely bring it and pack it for you."
Shen Xia looked at her with disdain and sneered, "For something this expensive, you should wrap your hands with silk before you pick it up!"
The little girl was choked speechless by Shen Xia.
After a while, she finally reacted and pointed at Shen Xia angrily, "You don't really want to buy it, you're just playing a trick on me."
Shen Xia disagreed. She looked at the girl with sarcasm and said, "What? You are the only one allowed to dislike me for being dirty, but I am not allowed to dislike you? You are just a poor worker, and you can't even afford a box of rouge with your monthly salary. This thing is so expensive, do you think you can afford to touch it?" Shen Xia also spoke in the same way as before.
"We are all human beings. You are just selling something here. Do you really think you are some big shot?" Shen Xia continued.
The tone was full of disdain and ridicule.
"What qualifications do you have to look down on others? Do you think you are so great? Let me tell you, how much can you earn?"
"If you are really capable, why do you still come out to work? You might as well go home and be a rich wife, and let those little maids serve you tea and water every day." Shen Xia said sarcastically.
Her tone was full of contempt and disdain, as if the other party was just an insignificant existence.
These words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting the little girl's heart hard.
Her face turned pale in an instant, her lips trembled slightly, but she was unable to refute a word.
Shen Xia's words were like a sharp sword, ruthlessly piercing deep into the little girl's heart and making her feel ashamed.
"You're not destined to have that fate, so why are you putting on airs?" Shen Xia continued, her voice cold and sharp, not giving the other person any chance to breathe.
In the end, the little girl didn't expect that Shen Xia was not dressed well but had such a powerful mouth.
Whenever I met poor guests, they would leave with red faces and embarrassment after I said a few words to them.
There is nothing like this person who can speak better than me.
Then, unconsciously, my eyes turned red.
It's so pitiful for people around to see.
Because I heard a quarrel inside.
More and more people gathered around.
People cast curious glances, some pointed and some whispered.
Expressions of surprise, confusion or sympathy appeared on their faces, making the whole scene even more awkward and embarrassing.
At this time, the woman who had just spoken looked at Shen Xia and said, "If you can't afford it, don't buy it. Why bother a little girl?"
Shen Xia originally didn't want to talk to this person, but this person kept interrupting her again and again, trying to make herself felt. This guy has never been scolded before!
Shen Xia turned around and looked at her with a hint of disdain in her eyes: "You are selectively blind, right? She can embarrass me, but I can't be reasonable with her. What's the logic of this?"
"Besides, if you were the one being unreasonable first, don't blame others for fighting back."
"I didn't talk to you, what does it have to do with you?"
"Do you live by the sea? Why do you care so much?"
The woman didn't expect that the young girl in front of her could be so sharp-tongued, and her face instantly turned very ugly.
She glared and gnashed her teeth as she said, "Humph, you little girl are quite good at talking! But this is not a place for you to act wild!"
Shen Xia sneered: "Oh? Really? I want to see who is making trouble here today!"
He pointed at Shen Xia with one finger and said, "You—you—you."
At this time, the little girl next to her was angry seeing her wife.
He then scolded, "Who are you to speak to my wife like that?"
Shen Xia rolled his eyes: "Why do you care who I am? There is only one rule in the world today: if you are right, you can go anywhere, but if you are wrong, you can't go anywhere."
At this time, a man came out from the crowd, clapped his hands and said, "If you are right, you can go anywhere in the world, but if you are wrong, you can't go anywhere."
At this time, everyone was looking at the person in front of them.
Those who can buy things here are either rich or noble in the county. Of course, they all know Zheng Jinshu, the second highest official in the county.
They all looked at him and saluted, saying, "Hello, Lord Zheng."
Zheng Jinshu looked at the woman who had just quarreled with Shen Xia and said, "Mrs. Chen is shopping here. What happened? Why are there so many people around?"
When Mrs. Chen saw that it was County Magistrate Zheng, she immediately said politely, "Hello, Lord Zheng. It's like this. This little girl in front of me can't afford to buy the things here, but she's teasing the little girl from Yurong Pavilion. Isn't this going too far?"
Although County Magistrate Zheng had agreed with what the woman said just now,
But I guess the county magistrate doesn't know the reason.
Besides, judging from the girl's attire, it was impossible for her to recognize the county magistrate.
He then started to discredit Shen Xia and talked about her faults.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Jinshu walked up to Shen Xia and said gently, "What do you like? I'll buy it for you."
The corner of Shen Xia's mouth twitched.
When everyone heard this, they took a deep breath and wondered what the relationship was between this woman and County Magistrate Zheng.
