Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as cousin Xingnong likes it."
She was secretly proud in her heart that the good of one person was revealed by the evil of another person.
This bastard actually dared to ask for such a high price, well!
After such a comparison, everyone knows who is good and who is disgusting.
"Miss, you are really too kind! Every time you want to give her something, she treats you as a sucker! Look, as soon as you mentioned giving her something, she picked out three more pieces of satin. Satin! A piece costs hundreds of coins! Three pieces is one tael too much! She is so shameless!"
There were two people who had not paid any attention to what Xingnong wanted just now, but now they looked at Xingnong with different eyes, full of disgust.
"Girl, this kind of person is greedy and insatiable. Be careful if he tries to get close to you. Don't give him away!"
"I originally bought two meters of linen, but when I saw someone offered to give it as a gift, I asked for three rolls of satin. Why don't you just go and snatch it away? I've never seen anyone so shameless! Don't give it as a gift!"
Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "It's okay. Cousin Xingnong is not that kind of person. She usually refuses to take the things I give her. Cousin Xingnong, what else do you want? If it's not enough, you can pick more!"
Xing Nong ignored her this time.
At this time, the maid came out with two meters of black linen and said to Xing Nong with a smile, "Miss, two meters of black linen is twenty coins, and three pieces of satin are one and a half taels in total. The total of the two is one tael, five hundred and twenty coins!"
Everyone: “… ”
Shen Mingzhu and Yao's faces changed.
Someone was surprised and asked, "This girl originally wanted three pieces of satin?"
Someone nodded and said, "I was just about to say that the girl had bought three pieces of satin!"
The cloth-selling maid said: "Yes! As soon as you came in, you picked out three pieces of satin! What's wrong?"
Xingnong lowered his head and took out two silver coins and twenty cents that he had prepared long ago.
The maid took the silver from Xingnong.
Shen Mingzhu came back to her senses and immediately said, "Cousin Xingnong, I promised to take you there!"
She quickly took out two taels of silver and handed it to the maid: "I'll pay the money."
Yao also hurriedly said, "Yes, Xingnong, we will pay for it!"
Now they can’t help but feel sorry for the silver. If they don’t buy it for her, their reputation will be ruined!
Xing Nong glanced at them calmly, "Have you had enough of acting? Stop bothering me!"
Shen Mingzhu thought of something and stepped back in fear.
The cloth-selling maid glanced at Xingnong, then at Shen Mingzhu, not knowing what had happened. She gave Xingnong five hundred coins.
Xingnong took it, stuffed the three pieces of cloth into the backpack, and left.
It was not until Xing Nong left that everyone came to their senses.
"What do you mean when that girl said she had enough acting?"
"You still don't understand? She didn't want to give it at all, but pretended to be generous and gave it on purpose, thinking that she only bought two meters of linen, but she also bought three rolls of satin. She must be reluctant to give it away! So she let the maid say something to humiliate her, so that she wouldn't have to give it away, right?"
"Tsk tsk... If you don't want to give it to her, don't even mention it! Didn't she get forced to do so?"
"Maybe she didn't intend to give it to him from the beginning. She did it on purpose. Didn't you hear the girl ask her if she had performed enough?"
"Disgusting! Pretending to be generous!"
... ...
Shen Mingzhu and Yao were unable to express their grievances and fled in panic.
I was worried about being recognized.
They never dared to go to this cloth shop again!
~
In the carriage, Shen Mingzhu felt something was wrong. "Tell me, did that bastard know I wouldn't send her off and deliberately agreed? She always refused before!"
Yao shook her head: "I don't know, but that bastard has changed since she reported to the police and was beaten with a stick! You should try not to mess with her in the future."
Even Yao couldn't guess what her plan was!
I thought I would be ripped off and felt bad, so I thought about teaching her a lesson, but I didn’t expect that I would feel even worse now that I wasn’t ripped off!
Yao regretted, "I should have paid that extra 100 taels of silver directly!"
Shen Mingzhu nodded. Thinking of everyone's looks and words just now, she felt so upset that she went crazy. Her reputation was gone!
God knows how hard it is to have a well-known good reputation!
She couldn't help but slapped the maid in the face: "It's all your fault! What nonsense are you talking about!"
The maid's face was swollen from being beaten. She looked at Yao with grievance, lowered her head, and dared not refute.

Xingnong left the cloth shop and when she passed the reception building, a simple and elegant black carriage passed by her and then stopped in front of the steps of the restaurant.
Xing Nong took a look and recognized that the carriage belonged to the owner of the beads, so he walked over.
A cool and handsome figure got down from the carriage.
The morning sun shone on the man's handsome face, and his fair skin was stained with a halo. He was so handsome that he looked like a god or a demon, captivating everyone.
Chu Tiankuo got off the carriage and saw Xingnong at a glance, but he didn't even linger on her and walked straight towards the reception building.
"Sir, please stay." Xingnong called him and walked towards him.
Songbai flashed in front of Xingnong, stretched out his hand to stop her, and looked at her vigilantly: "Young lady, please respect yourself!"
The young master of this family is not interested in women, but there are always shameless women who want to get close to him.
Chu Tiankuo turned his head and glanced at her, his expression was very calm: "What's the matter?"
Xing Nong took out the beads and held out his hand: "Your beads."
Songbai's eyes widened: "Why is this bead on you?"
Yesterday the master said that the beads were missing, and he searched for them all night long, almost tearing apart the yard and the carriage!
How did it end up in her hands
Did the master fall on the road
Xing Nong: “I don’t know.”
Songbai was stunned for a moment: "..."
What is this answer
"Thank you, young lady." Chu Tiankuo thanked her politely and courteously, and then said, "Pine and cypress."
Songbai took the beads and said respectfully and politely, "Thank you, young lady."
I didn’t expect that this girl, whose family is so poor, still returned the lost money.
Songbai naturally thought that Xingnong had picked up beads on the road again.
Xing Nong thought for a moment and said to Chu Tiankuo, "I'm sorry, I accidentally moved your beads."
This bead contains a secret that should not be known by others. She said this so that if the other party knew the secret inside the bead, he would naturally understand.
If he didn't know the secret of the beads, then forget it, she wouldn't remind him to avoid getting into trouble.
After saying this, Xing Nong turned and left.
Chu Tiankuo was stunned for a moment. She went in
Songbai took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the beads before handing it to Chu Tiankuo.
Chu Tiankuo retracted his gaze, took the beads, and twisted the beads with his slender white fingers habitually, and suddenly stopped.
Changed!
Something has changed inside!
He thought she just went in and discovered the secret of the Creation Pearl, but he didn't expect...
Chu Tiankuo quickly raised his head and looked in the direction where Xingnong left.
But that petite and thin figure is no longer on the street.
I don’t know which shop I entered.
"Master." Songbai said in surprise when he saw Chu Tiankuo did not move.
Chu Tiankuo withdrew his gaze and casually stuffed the beads into his purse. He paused as he thought of something and did not put the beads back into the purse. Instead, he held the beads in his hand and walked towards the reception building.

Inside the restaurant, Shopkeeper Zhao stood outside the door and bowed respectfully, "Young Master."
Chu Tiankuo nodded and walked in.
Shopkeeper Zhao took a few steps behind and went in with Songbai. He asked in a low voice, "Sir, do you know the girl just now?"
"Yes. The master suspects that she has a relationship with the Liang family." The master asked me to investigate her, doesn't that mean he suspects her
