The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me

The business of Shuyulou store has been very average these days, mainly due to the impact of the earthquake in Yuelong area. It is said that there are sand surges in some areas, which have buried local people and houses.

People in the disaster-stricken areas lacked food and clothing, and some were even left homeless. Hunger and disease caused a large number of victims to flock to surrounding counties in order to survive, and these phenomena gradually spread across the country.

After this disaster, the emperor of Dongyue issued an edict, rejecting the extravagant trend in the country and asking everyone to donate money and property to the Yuelong area. The people of the country should work together to fight against the disaster and provide relief.

Therefore, many wealthy and powerful people dare not spend lavishly at this critical juncture, and high-end places like Shuyulou are even more deserted.

However, places like Shuyulou have abundant financial resources, and Zhao Yefan was able to adapt to the circumstances and quickly thought of launching door-to-door service. Although the store looked depressed, business was not affected.

It took less than half an hour for the aunt and sister-in-law to get from Zuiyue Tower to Shuyu Tower. When they got off the car, Su Muxue took Mu Jin's hand and walked to the doorman. When they were about to take out silver to pay the deposit, Mu Jin held her back.

"Just follow me in, no deposit required."

Su Muxue widened her eyes, she was a little bit unbelievable.

"This princess heard that apart from my fifth brother and Zhao Yefan's friendship since childhood, no one else has this special privilege, as they can come here without any obstacles without a deposit."

At this point, Su Muxue was somewhat indignant, and snorted coldly: "Even this princess can't do that!"

Mu Jin just smiled and said nothing.

As soon as I entered the lobby of Shuyu Building, I saw Zhao Yefan, who was holding a fine purple clay teapot and walking around in his own display cabinet. He looked very relaxed and at ease, not at all bothered by the recent bad world and the lack of business in the store.

When he looked up and saw a visitor coming, he was delighted at first. Then when he looked closely and recognized the person, he raised his eyebrows and smiled cunningly.

"Are you a distinguished guest? Aren't you the Sixth Princess and Princess Yun? Is there anything I can help you with?"

In fact, Su Muxue couldn't stand Zhao Yefan's attitude. They went to school together in the palace school when they were young. In the palace school, there were not only princes and princesses, crown princes, young princes and princesses, but also children of prominent ministers in the court.

Zhao Yefan's father was a duke, so naturally he could also take the entrance examination in the palace school. Back then, they had a big fight in the palace school. So not only Su Muxue couldn't stand Zhao Yefan's face, but Zhao Yefan also looked down on Su Muxue's arrogance.

Su Muxue walked up to Zhao Yefan proudly.

"Bring us your best jewelry."

When Zhao Yefan heard that there was a customer, he seemed to have forgotten his years of discord with Su Muxue. He asked the waiter to leave and entertained the customer himself.

I saw Zhao Yefan walking happily to a container, picking up a tray of jewelry and bringing it up.

Zhao Yefan smiled flatteringly, pointing to a cloisonné bracelet and said, "This is the best cloisonné bracelet our building has received recently. Look at the color, the enamel, and the touch. There is only one like this in the whole capital."

Cloisonné is not rare, what is rare is the sapphire on it. The whole bracelet can be said to be low-key and luxurious.

Su Muxue also liked it, but she didn't show it on her face: "How much silver?"

Zhao Yefan smiled and said, "Since we are old acquaintances, the original price is 10,000 taels. How about selling it to you for 5,000 taels?"

Su Muxue was surprised and asked, "How much?"

Mu Jin was also surprised by the price. She didn't know the price when she first came here, but she got to know it a little bit later. For example, for a sixth-rank official, the monthly salary is only more than two hundred yuan a year. In other words, ordinary people can't afford a bracelet even if they work until they die and don't eat or drink.

Su Muxue was furious and said, "Zhao Yefan! Don't scare me here. I don't know anything. A bracelet like this is worth at most five hundred taels of silver. Call your boss out to me and let him see how much kickbacks his employees have taken!"

Zhao Yefan said indifferently: "I'm sorry, our boss is not here, I have the final say here now.

Su Muxue was furious: "Zhao Yefan, you are raising the prices falsely. Believe it or not, I will tell my father and have him tear this place down."

Zhao Yefan was not angry either: "It's up to you. It's not my property anyway. Besides, our Shuyu Tower is run with integrity. Your Highness, you are not trying to force me to buy it, are you?"

"you!"

Su Muxue pointed at Zhao Yefan and sneered, "You treacherous villain, no wonder no woman has ever been interested in you since you were a teenager, and you still can't get married."

Zhao Yefan disagreed.

"I'm afraid Princess has misunderstood. The number of people chasing after this prince can be lined up from here to the city gate. Not to mention other things, so many noble ladies usually come to this Yuyu Tower to spend more than a thousand gold coins just to see my majestic and charming demeanor."

"Oh~ Really? There are so many blind noble ladies in the capital, how come this princess doesn't know about them? I guess they are just ignorant women from the countryside who haven't seen the world, right?"

While Zhao Yefan and Su Muxue were arguing with each other, Mu Jin had been wandering around the counter in the building for a few rounds.

At this time, she was admiring each buyao in the buyao area. Those buyao had different shapes and designs, some were flower-shaped, some were bow-shaped, and some were tassel-shaped.

The colors and materials of the buyao are also different. Some are inlaid with gems, some are inlaid with pearls, and some are made of pure gold.

Mu Jin picked up a butterfly-tasseled hairpin, turned to the two people who were arguing and asked, "Do you two think this hairpin is pretty?"

The two of them stopped at the same time and turned to look at Mu Jin, and Zhao Yefan stepped forward first.

"Princess, you have good taste. This hairpin suits you very well. If you want it, I will sell it to you for one thousand taels."

Now Su Muxue became even more angry and started cursing at Zhao Yefan.

"This hairpin is obviously much more expensive in terms of material, materials, and craftsmanship than that Thai blue bracelet. Why is it sold at the real price when it was sold to my third sister-in-law, but at a false price when it was sold to me?"

Zhao Yefan still had a smile on his face and said, "If you can't afford it, don't buy it!"

As soon as the words fell, Su Muxue was completely furious...

Mu Jin shook his head, couldn't help laughing, and handed the hairpin to the shop attendant next to him.

"Please pack it for me, and when the princess returns, give it to her and tell her that it's from me."

After saying this, Qing'er handed a silver note of one thousand taels to the waiter, and then the master and the servant walked out of Shuyu Tower.

At this time, Su Muxue was pointing at Zhao Yefan, who was smiling, and cursing. When the two of them noticed that Mu Jin was gone, Mu Jin was already on his way back to Prince Yun's Mansion.

In the carriage, Qing'er was puzzled.

"Why did the young lady suddenly give such an expensive gift to the Sixth Princess?"

Mu Jin smiled and said, "She is the emperor's most beloved daughter. If you build a good relationship with her, maybe she can help you when you divorce in the future. Besides, who doesn't want to make a powerful friend?"
