Chapter 127: Princess Rong'an
Chapter 127: Princess Rong'an
Although the waiter was afraid of the power of County Lady Rong'an, he saw that Lu Chenshuang showed no fear in front of her.
I thought to myself that this person might have a strong background.
Besides, the reason why their Treasure Pavilion has become so big is that there must be big shots behind it.
Thinking of this, the waiter smiled and said, "This girl has good taste. These pearls are all wild and round.
Our asking price for this set of headgear is three thousand taels."
Lu Chenshuang hummed and said, "Okay, then you pack it for me."
The waiter quickly agreed upon hearing this.
The Rong'an County Lady was furious and scolded the waiter, "You daring servant, you are really blind.
I am the Princess of Rong'an, and my mother is the Princess of Zhuoyang, the most beloved by the Empress Dowager.
If you dare to sell this set of jewelry to her, you don’t want to open the Treasure Pavilion anymore, right?”
The Lady of Rong'an County shouted so loudly that everyone who came to the Treasure Pavilion to buy jewelry looked at them.
Princess Rong'an did not feel ashamed, but was proud of it. She just wanted them to see that there was nothing that Princess Rong'an could not get.
Of course, their dispute here also attracted the manager of the Treasure Pavilion.
The steward, who was in his forties, saluted Rong'an County Lady in a dignified manner and then said, "Please forgive me, County Lady. It is true that our Treasure Pavilion has its own rules.
We have to follow the first come first served principle. This jewelry was favored by this girl first, so according to the rules we should give it to this girl first.
You can take a look at other jewelry. Our Treasure Pavilion has just created a batch of top-quality jewelry, which you can choose first."
The manager's attitude can be considered sincere.
But Rong'an County Lady was very dissatisfied. She said to the steward: "You must think clearly about what will happen if you offend me."
The manager felt a little embarrassed when he saw this and glanced at Lu Chenshuang and Lin.
After learning about the identity of Princess Rong'an, Lin was somewhat hesitant.
After all, Princess Rong'an is a member of the royal family. Her family cannot afford to offend her.
Who knew that Lu Chenshuang would be the first to speak: "Since your pavilion has a first come first served policy, let's follow the rules.
Otherwise, who would dare to come to your Treasure Pavilion to buy jewelry in the future?
Don't worry, we have plenty of silver. We can afford not only three thousand taels, but even five thousand taels."
Lu Chenshuang's words reminded Rong'an County Lady. She looked at the steward and said, "I remember there is a rule in your Treasure Pavilion. The one with the highest bid wins."
The manager nodded, saying that their Treasure Pavilion did have this rule.
But they generally don't use it because they are afraid of damaging the relationship between the two parties and losing customers.
After all, when two people compete, the loser loses face, and the winner becomes the scapegoat, and probably won't come back again next time.
But it is another matter if the guest brings it up himself.
Princess Rong'an looked at Lu Chenshuang proudly and said, "I'll pay six thousand taels."
Lu Chenshuang: . . . . .
It turns out there is someone who is willing to be a sucker, so just play with her.
So Lu Chenshuang said calmly: "I'll pay eight thousand taels."
Rong'an County Lady gave Lu Chenshuang a vicious look and said, "I'll pay 10,000 taels."
Lu Chenshuang added: "I'll pay 15,000 taels."
"Twenty thousand taels!" Princess Rong'an shouted angrily.
But in his heart, he was thinking that if Lu Chenshuang raised the price again, he would give it to her and really cheat her.
Who knew that Lu Chenshuang looked at Rong'an County Lady with regret and said, "Forget it, since the county lady likes it, I'll give this pearl headdress to her."
Princess Rong'an was stunned when she heard this. Why didn't Lu Chenshuang raise the price? She realized that she might have been taken advantage of.
But with so many people here, she couldn't lose face, so she sneered and said, "Lu Chenshuang can't afford it, so why are you pretending to be so high and mighty here?
Everyone knows that you are someone that Jingyang Hou doesn't want."
Lu Chenshuang glanced at her indifferently and said, "I advise Princess Rong'an to be careful with her words, I am here to divorce by imperial decree.
If you have any doubts, you can go to the emperor.
Don't talk nonsense here, or you'll get into trouble."
Upon hearing this, Princess Rong'an snorted coldly and said, "Lu Chenshuang, stop exaggerating here.
This county lady was not brought up to be scared.
People like you deserve to be unwanted for the rest of your life."
Lin couldn't bear to hear this. She said, "County Lady, even if my Shuang'er can't get married, I can still support her for the rest of her life.
She doesn't eat a single grain of rice from your family, so I advise you to worry less."
Princess Rong'an was humiliated several times and finally got angry. She reached out to hit Lin, but how could Lu Chenshuang let her succeed?
He grabbed her wrist and said, "Just try to touch my mother."
Lu Chenshuang's strength was so great and her expression was so sinister that Princess Rong'an was frightened.
The voice was a little tearful as she said, "Let me go! You dare to commit treason? I will go back and tell my mother, and she will definitely not let you go."
Lu Chenshuang let go of Princess Rong'an and pushed her, then said sarcastically: "You are really a sucker, you go to your mother whenever you encounter problems.
Go, go tell Princess Zhuoyang.
Let her see how arrogant and domineering her daughter is. "
Princess Rong'an was pushed and staggered, but fortunately a maid beside her supported her and prevented her from falling.
She felt that she had been greatly humiliated, but she could not beat Lu Chenshuang, and she knew that Lu Chenshuang was very much favored by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Princess Zhuoyang had also warned her several times not to provoke Lu Chenshuang.
So she could only make harsh remarks and leave with her maid.
The manager was very perceptive and asked the waiter to pack up the pearl headdress and send it to Zhuoyang Villa. This is 20,000 taels of silver.
Then the steward said to Lu Chenshuang: "So you are the famous Divine Doctor Lu, I am so disrespectful.
I'm sorry for the poor hospitality today. How about this? From now on, whenever you buy jewelry at our Treasure Pavilion, I'll give you a 30% discount."
Lu Chenshuang's name is still very famous in the capital.
Previously it was because of her divorce from Jing Zhaoyan, and later it was because of her superb medical skills.
These days, no one can be sure of being safe from all kinds of disasters and illnesses.
What if I get sick one day and need help from Lu Chenshuang? So the manager was very polite to Lu Chenshuang.
Lu Chenshuang knew that the person in charge was also innocent, and it was already very good that the matter could be handled to this extent.
She was not the kind of person who would not let others off the hook, so she smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
After the manager left, Lu Chenshuang picked out another set of pure gold headwear.
It is also a complete set, with head ornaments, step-shaking earrings, and the workmanship is also very fine.
Lin laughed at her and said, "Girl, why do you like gold?
Didn’t you think gold was tacky before?”
Lu Chenshuang laughed awkwardly and said, "Mom, this gold is not tacky.
When you are rich, it can make you shine; when you are down, it can help you make a comeback.
In the past, I was young and didn’t understand the benefits of gold. ”
Lin burst out laughing when she heard this. It was the first time she heard such a statement.
But after thinking about it carefully, what Lu Chen said made sense, so Lin was so happy that she bought another set for herself.
After buying the jewelry, the two went to the rouge shop.
However, Lu Chenshuang was quite dissatisfied with the rouge and powder of this era.
For example, although the gouaches used are all good stuff, there are problems with the control of the proportions.
Lu Chenshuang refused and promised to send a good set to Lin later.
The mother and daughter spent the whole day shopping.
