The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Zhou Shiyue does have some behaviors that make people angry.

But he put it out in the open, and if someone really raised the price to compete for it, he would just follow suit and spend money without breaking the rules.

It's just to let people know that he will stick with it to the end, so that others can consider their wallets.

He didn't snatch it from Hu Shang either.

Does anyone know what price Hu Shang set himself? It's not like I haven't tried it before, and the first price was super high.

However, the person who is hiding in the crowd and stirring up everyone's emotions definitely has bad intentions.

Did he think that no one would find out if he kept speaking in a pinched voice?

"Which one is Miss Lu?"

Hu Shang was really persuaded.

He wasn't trying to be disrespectful, nor was he trying to cause trouble.

But women are soft-hearted. If she is really rich, he can beg her kindly and speak pitifully, and there is a good chance that he will succeed.

Three thousand taels won’t work, but one thousand taels will definitely do.

The few Hu merchants nearby figured it out.

"This Miss Lu is the one who was granted marriage to the Prince of Jin. She is the future Princess of Jin."

"Yes, yes, yes. Haven't we suffered enough at the hands of those young masters? Do you still want to provoke King Jin?"

A companion tugged at the merchant and lowered his voice, "I told you before, don't set the price too low. There are many rich people in Beijing, so it will always be sold. Who told you to use a low price? What do you mean by a gimmick?"

But none of them could persuade this Hu merchant.

Because this Hu merchant was not very lucky, they had walked this journey together, but he was always losing things or breaking some jade and porcelain, and he had already suffered a lot of losses before.

In the conflict with Dai Xu and his gang, he was the one who was beaten the worst. Then he punched another playboy's eye and swollen it, and was forced by that family to pay compensation.

Apart from the goods sold by several people together, the only thing he could offer now was this snow lotus.

If Snow Lotus hadn't been sold at a lower price, he would have really cried.

"I won't provoke them, I'll just beg them!"

The Hu merchant shook off his companions and said, "Give me back the snow lotus!"

Qing Feng was still looking at him.

Hu Shang snatched the snow lotus from his companion again, and without caring about the box, he directly picked up the flower and held it up.

"Is Miss Lu here?"

He shouted loudly and looked up at the private room on the second floor.

"Miss Lu, I beg you. I heard that you don't need this little bit of money, but I do. I traveled thousands of miles and worked hard to bring some things to the capital. Along the way, the road collapsed and my things fell. It also rained heavily and all my treasures got wet."

"I finally got this snow lotus plant, it's the money I need to go home. If I sell it at a low price, how can I go back? I have an old mother, a wife, and a young son at home, they are all waiting for me to earn money to go back and spend the winter. If I can't earn money, they will all starve to death."

"Miss Lu, this snow lotus should be worth more than two thousand taels. If it weren't for the fact that everyone was afraid to compete with King Jin for it, it would most likely be worth three thousand taels or even five thousand taels."

"Now I'm not greedy, so I beg you to give me two thousand taels, okay? Miss Lu, please be kind and pity our family. Whether our family can survive this winter depends on Miss Lu's pity."

Upstairs, Zhou Shiyue exerted a little force with his fingers, and with a click, the teacup in his hand was crushed into pieces.

When Sun Yingying saw this scene, she shrank her neck.

She still remembered that Prince Jin had encouraged Sister Zhao Ling to accept more expensive gifts from her family.

How could the King of Jin be a good guy?

Although she felt a little timid, Sun Yingying still told the truth.

"Sister Zhao Ling, don't listen to him. I heard from my brother that these Hu merchants often do some business of transporting goods from the south to the north, traveling all over the country and making a lot of money. Wasn't it because of the mention of the Beauty List that they fought with Master Dai?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Yin Yunting.

"If they weren't locked up in jail, they would have been selling goods or spending a lot of money in some brothel. How could they be poor?"

That Hu Shang was just trying to gain sympathy on purpose.

Sun Yanyan was somewhat helpless. This sister dared to say anything, such as seeking pleasure? In front of the King of Jin.

"Indeed, these Hu merchants are not poor." He continued.

Yin Yunting didn't say anything and just drank tea leisurely.

They probably don't understand Prince Jin and the eldest sister. If the other party insists on putting the eldest sister in a bad light like this, then who would care whether he is poor or not?

The eldest sister is also rebellious at heart.

You are really poor. If you speak nicely, Senior Sister will help you even if it’s worth a hundred or a thousand taels. Even save your life.

But if he couldn't learn to speak, she wouldn't even look at him even if he starved to death in front of her. She would only say, everyone has their own destiny.

As for the King of Jin, there is no need to mention it.

"Miss Lu..."

Hearing that the Hu merchant was still shouting, Zhou Shiyue stood up, slowly walked to the railing, pulled Lu Zhaoling back with one hand, and looked down at the first floor from above.

When he appeared, everyone below fell silent instantly.

Hu Shang, who was begging Lu Zhaoling loudly, was speechless for a moment.

Who understands this feeling of oppression?

The son of Zhenyuan Marquis bowed his head and cursed the Hu merchant inwardly.

What's the fuss? Is calling this guy out a good thing?

"Qing Feng." Zhou Shiyue's voice did not convey any emotion.

Qing Feng trembled for a moment.

"I know my mistake!"

He quickly admitted his mistake, then acted as fast as lightning and snatched the snow lotus away in an instant before Hu Shang could react.

The prince must be angry!

He stood here and even let Hu Shang grab the snow lotus and make a fuss.

His reaction was indeed not as quick as Qinglin and Qingxiao's.

Snow lotus is in hand.

Zhou Shiyue's gaze swept towards the manager of Jibaozhai again.

"Is it against the rules if I cast my name card? I am here. If I want to buy something, shouldn't I ask the guards to go and cast their name cards? Do I have to go there in person?"

The housekeeper broke out in a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, you didn't break the rules."

The others also reacted at this time.

They all thought that Qing Feng's appearance was a deliberate act by King Jin to reveal his identity in order to suppress them, but was King Jin forbidden to come here?

Since he was here, what was wrong with asking the guards around him to take down the sign? Could this be intentional?

It would be considered intentional if he walked to the front of the stage himself, right?

He just said that he wanted to order the snow lotus, is that not possible?

"The signature has been submitted, so the deal should be done, right?" King Jin asked the steward again.

The steward nodded, "Yes, that's right."

"So, the snow lotus is now owned by me, right?"

"Yep!"

"In that case, the seller is going back on his word and disrupting order, right?" Prince Jin's voice was still calm and no emotion could be heard.

But many people dare not say a word.

The steward gritted his teeth and responded, "Your Majesty is right."

"Ha." Zhou Shiyue sneered and asked, "Why don't you drag him out? What are you waiting for?"
