Chapter 145: Shi Lian Got Injured (1/2)

Sang Wan smiled and said, “Just by listening to Shopkeeper Sun, each of them are excellent on their own. We’ll take whichever set Big Sister likes! After all, there’s a saying that ‘Happiness can’t be bought with money!’”

“Young Mistress is right, as long as Eldest Missy likes it!” Shopkeeper Sun smiled and agreed as he tried to favor both sides.

“Which set do I like?” Shi Yumei gave a sly smile, “What if I like all three sets? Will Sister Sang Wan be willing to buy all of them for me?”

Sang Wan’s expression froze a little. Even Shi Lian raised her head in shock, but she quickly lowered her eyes again.

Shopkeeper Sun was so ecstatic that he felt dizzy and almost could not stand up straight.

Three sets, three sets! If those three sets were really sold today, he would have a very sumptuous new year ahead!

The Drunk Hibiscus was priced at eighty thousand silvers. Lantian Pearl and Colourful Falling Leaves was at a hundred and twenty thousand silvers respectively. If all three sets were bought, he could give a discount of a few thousand silvers. At the minimum, he could sell them for three hundred thousand silvers in total! In light of the shop’s agreement, he could gain a commission of two percent, so that would be six thousand silvers!

“Eldest Missy has such good taste!” Shopkeeper Sun smiled and said, “These three sets are all the best in our shop! There is only one of each set in the world; you will definitely not find a second set elsewhere! They fit Eldest Missy’s status so perfectly!”

“Sister-in-law, what do you think?” Shi Yumei smiled and asked.

“That’s naturally fine,” Sang Wan smiled and said, “If Big Sister likes them, then we’ll take them all!”

“Sister Sang Wan is so generous!” Shi Yumei smiled gleefully and said, “Just a single transaction is worth a few hundred thousand silvers!”

“Big Sister, you jest,” Sang Wan smiled and said, “Why would I have so much money on myself? Shopkeeper Sun, please pass the bill onto the Shi family’s Young Master after this!”

Shi Yumei turned queasy and said sarcastically, “Using my younger brother’s money to do you a favor, what a calculative person you are! So befitting of a literary family; very clever!”

“Big Sister, your words aren’t right,” Sang Wan laughed, “Didn’t Big Sister like them? If Big Sister likes them, Lord will definitely have no objection!”

If the money was from Sang Wan, Shi Yumei would not oppose; she had in mind to empty all of Sang Wan’s personal savings. But when Sang Wan mentioned using Shi Fengju’s money, Shi Yumei felt a little uneasy. Her heart would ache if she spent her brother’s money in such a way.

Shi Yumei raised her head and said to Shopkeeper Sun, “Help me to wrap this Drunk Hibiscus, I want this set!” Looking at Sang Wan, she gave a slight smile and said, “Having managed our household for more than half a year, I’m sure Sister Sang Wan must at least have a sum of money, right? I only want this one set, don’t tell me that Sister Sang Wan can’t even afford to pay this little money? “

Having less than a hundred thousand silvers saved as her personal savings after managing the household for half a year, if word were to be spread by Shi Yumei, who knew what Wang Shi and the Second Shi family would think! If she had a huge sum of money, then all would be well. However, Sang Wan clearly did not but did not wish to be maligned without a reason.

“The family’s own personal finance definitely has and lots of the money passes through my hand. Since Big Sister had already said it, then I’ll tell the accountant when I return to see if we can use the family’s personal finances instead.” Sang Wan acted as if she did not understand what Shi Yumei was saying.

Shi Yumei’s expression underwent another change, but she did not have the face to state Sang Wan’s personal savings in front of strangers. As such, she merely snorted with a cold expression on her face and turned silent.

When Sang Wan saw that Shi Yumei finally stopped, she smiled and turned to Shi Lian, “Third Sister, how about choosing one or two pieces as well? You’re already here, you can’t go back empty handed!”

“There isn’t any need to. I don’t wear these often and I already have the ones given to me from gifts given to the family yearly and from Mother as well!” Shi Lian quickly refused politely with a smile.

“Silly girl, your sister-in-law brought you out here, so why are you being overly polite? Quickly, pick one or two that you like!” Sang Wan smiled as she gazed towards her.

Shopkeeper Sun also chimed in at the side, pushing the tray with the individual pieces towards Shi Lian.

Shi Lian could not refuse and smiled as she thanked Sang Wan. After having a look, Shi Lian picked a gold ring embedded with a red ruby and smiled, “I’ll take this!”

“I think this looks better, take this then!” Sang Wan smiled and picked up a bracelet with eighteen jade beads before placing it on Shi Lian’s hand, “It looks good. It’ll look even better when you wear it!”

“Young Mistress has such a good taste! This is the highest-quality jade beads, their large pomegranate size is really hard to come by! This missy will look really good with it!” Shopkeeper Sun smiled and said.

“Really? But this looks a little too expensive!” Which young girl does not like pretty jewellery? Shi Lian caressed the beads softly. They had a soft and cool texture with a gentle glimmer, she really liked it as well. However, she was a little worried. She always kept her own status in mind and did not dare to compare herself with Shi Yumei.

“Not expensive, not expensive, this piece is only eight hundred silvers! It is well worth it! Especially since it looks so good on you!” Shopkeeper Sun added with a smile.

“How can you say it’s not expensive when it actually is!” Shi Lian was caught by surprise. Just this small bracelet costs eight hundred silvers! She hurriedly tried to take it off.

However, Sang Wan held her hand lightly and stopped her. Smiling to Shopkeeper Sun, Sang Wan said, “We’ll take this as well!”

“Sister-in-law, but——”

“What but? If you like it, then take it!” Sang Wan patted her hand lightly and they smiled at each other.

“Thank you, Sister Sang Wan!” Shi Lian smiled and gave her thanks.

“There’s no need to be so polite, we are a family!” And both of them laughed.

“Sister Sang Wan isn’t choosing one or two yourself?” Shi Lian asked. But when she glanced at the tray again, nothing else seemed to be as precious as the ones Sang Wan was wearing.
