Escape from the famine at the beginning: I rely on space to spoil Lord Shoufu

Chapter 269 Could it be some random rags?

"it is good."

Qingzhi naturally understood that her master might want to distract her, so she turned around obediently and left.

Tao Xi found a place where no one was around and entered the space, then disguised herself, and soon became a graceful and luxurious old lady.

She fixed her eyes on the largest jewelry store in Yun County, oh, that seems to be the property of the Qiu family too.

Tao Xi didn't want to take advantage of the Qiu family, so she turned around and went to the Zhenbao Pavilion of the Qian family on the opposite side.

The lady in charge of Zhenbao Pavilion is a woman who still has charm. When she saw Tao Xi, she quickly ordered the servants to treat Tao Xi well.

"Ma'am, what do you need?"

A maid walked up to Tao Xi, but Tao Xi said to the shopkeeper's wife, "I'm afraid it's up to you to decide my affairs."

"Okay, old lady, then let me help you solve your doubts."

The shopkeeper's wife waved to the maid, and the maid went to the side to prepare tea.

Tao Xi first walked around the shop, most of them were jewelry, not particularly exquisite, and the techniques were a bit rough.

But in Yun County, it was already top-notch.

Tao Xi frowned suspiciously and asked, "Are there no pearls?"

"Old lady."

The shopkeeper's lady still had a smile in her eyes, "Although Hai County next door is near the sea, it is very rare to find pearls."

What she didn't say was that even if there was, it was dedicated to the nobles in Kyoto.

"There are no pearls in Yun County?"

Tao Xi expressed surprise, she never expected this to be the result, then her pearl...

"Hey, someone actually wants to buy pearls?"

An unharmonious voice came in, Tao Xi raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of an old lady walking in.

The old lady was supported by two maids, looking aloof.

Tao Xi noticed that the eyes of the shopkeeper's wife quickly flashed a look of impatience, and the next moment he smiled and said:
"Old Madam Qiu, what do you need? If you want to buy something, I'll have someone send it directly to your house for you to choose. It won't bother you to go all the way."

For this hard-to-serve old lady, the lady shopkeeper naturally didn't like it.

Tao Xi: ...

It's really against the Qiu family today, it's bad luck to run into this troublesome family wherever you go.

Mrs. Qiu glanced lightly at the lonely Tao Xi, um, after confirming that it was not a familiar face, her tone became more and more arrogant.

"What you have in my shop is also available in my shop. What's there to choose from?"

Shopkeeper's wife: ...

Then what are you doing in our shop?
The shopkeeper lady almost wanted to scold, but she held back after all, so she smiled and said:
"Okay, Mrs. Qiu, you can do whatever you want."

After speaking, she felt dissatisfied, this old Mrs. Qiu didn't come to buy things, she just came to their shop to find a sense of presence.

As long as their shop sells good things, the shop opposite will soon have the goods.

Because every time the maid Mrs. Qiu brought in was a craftsman from the opposite shop, she stole the teacher's skills openly and aboveboard!

Mrs. Qiu walked around the shop triumphantly, glanced at Tao Xi from time to time, and then snorted softly:
"Tch, there's not even a maid, why pretend to be stunned."

"Madam shopkeeper, I have something I want to sell to you."

Tao Xi ignored Mrs. Qiu's contemptuous eyes, she was too lazy to argue with an old man.

The shopkeeper's wife smiled all over her face, "Yes, I will take the old lady to the private room."

"What is it?"

Mrs. Qiu had a sneer in her eyes, "Could it be some random rags?"

For some reason, when she saw the old lady in front of her for the first time, she was particularly displeased.

Tao Xi frowned dissatisfied, "What I'm selling should have nothing to do with Mrs. Qiu, right?"

The Qiu family likes to find a sense of presence so much?

"I'm not curious."

Mrs. Qiu raised the corners of her lips on purpose, "How about this, show it to me, and I'll help you estimate the price, so that you won't be fooled by others."

She was trying to provoke Tao Xi and the shopkeeper's wife. Tao Xi was really speechless. Sure enough, people said that the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked.

Like Young Master Qiu, she suspected that she inherited it from the old woman.

Shopkeeper's wife: ...

She suddenly hoped that the old lady in front of her could slap old lady Qiu in the face.

"Alright, I'll let you learn a lot."

Tao Xi didn't want to take care of her at first, but some people are just looking for abuse, so don't blame her for being rude.

Fortunately, there were no other customers in the shop at the moment.

Tao Xi generously took out from his sleeve, and took out a handkerchief, which wrapped something.

Seeing Tao Xi's behavior, Mrs. Qiu couldn't help but sneered again, "Pfft, what kind of treasure is this?"

But whoever treasures are not carefully stored in exquisite boxes.

Even the shopkeeper's wife, who was full of expectations, now had a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Alas, it seems that Mrs. Qiu is lucky this time.

A few pairs of eyes fell on Tao Xi's handkerchief embroidered with flowers, which was embroidered softly when Qing Zhi taught Jian.

Tao Xi was reluctant to break the veil, and lifted it little by little, just when Mrs. Qiu was about to laugh at Tao Xi again.

Suddenly her eyes froze slightly, and she looked at the round and shiny thing in the center of the handkerchief in Tao Xi's palm in disbelief.

Except for her, everyone was shocked. The lady shopkeeper couldn't help rubbing her eyes to make sure she wasn't dazzled, and her voice trembled when she spoke.

"Madam, are you selling pearls?"

She was worried that Tao Xi would regret it, and her attitude became more and more enthusiastic.

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Tao Xi nodded slightly, "Yes, I don't think your shop has any pearls, so I'm afraid you won't accept them."

Her eyes seemed a little lost, and her fingertips rubbed the pearl lightly.

Mrs. Qiu lost her voice: "She won't accept me, sell it to me!"

Although the thing that the old woman took out hit her in the face severely.

But when she thinks that she will appear in front of the old sisters with pearls, she will be more face-saving.

"Old Madam Qiu."

The shopkeeper's dissatisfaction was almost written all over her face, "I didn't say no."

After finishing speaking, she smiled friendlyly at Tao Xi: "Old lady, how about we go to the private room and talk about the price in detail?"

Today, she will take this pearl no matter what she says, she must not let Mrs. Qiu be proud.

Just as Tao Xi was about to go upstairs, Mrs. Qiu walked over, "Whoever sees it has a share, who said they have to sell it to you?"

After she finished speaking, she followed up shamelessly, and her attitude towards Tao Xi took a big turn.

"Old sister, how did you get this pearl?"

Tao Xi: ...

Thinking of the temperament of the Qiu family, Tao Xi rolled his eyes and said with a smile:
"My grandson got it from the sea himself."

"Did you fish it yourself?"

Mrs. Qiu's voice was raised, obviously a little disbelieving, the sea is so deep, how can ordinary people have such courage?

But she didn't want to expose Tao Xi's thoughts at the moment, instead following her words, she praised:

"It's a blessing that my elder sister's grandson is so capable."

"Yes, I also feel really blessed."

Tao Xi showed a smile, and the lady in charge of Zhenbao Pavilion beside her was a little anxious.

According to this situation, the pearl was really sold to the old lady, right?
