As soon as Yan Ruyu and the first lady arrived at the shop, many ladies recognized them and came forward to greet them.

Mrs. Cheng also brought Miss Cheng to pay her respects.

Madam Cheng smiled warmly and politely, "Madam, Princess."

The eldest lady didn't say anything. Madam Cheng took Miss Cheng and said with a smile, "This is my daughter. She didn't go to the flower viewing party last time. It's a blessing to meet her here today. Fengyao, quickly greet the princess and the lady."

Cheng Fengyao wore a light red dress today, which made her skin look whiter than snow and her red lips look particularly bright.

Yan Ruyu took a look at her and thought she was more beautiful than the day they met in the temple.

Just as I was thinking about it, the eldest lady smiled and said, "I don't deserve it. Madam Cheng, there's no need to be so polite. Our family is no longer the same as before, and we can't afford it."

The eldest lady was angry. She had not heard the conversation between Madam Cheng and her daughter at first, but when she came out to pay her respects that day, she met Madam Cheng again. On the way back, Yan Ruyu told her.

There is no need to hide it. If they meet again in the future, the eldest lady will have an idea in her mind, so that Mrs. Cheng won't say one thing in front of her and another behind her back. The eldest lady is unaware of the situation, while Mrs. Cheng thinks she is so smart.

Who knew we would meet again so soon.

The eldest lady would naturally not be happy.

Mrs. Cheng was a shrewd person. She felt something was wrong when she heard these words. She had already felt something when she came out to pay her respects that day. She was certain of it from the tone of voice today.

Madam Cheng forced a smile and said, "Madam, are you angry with me for saying this? But what did I do wrong to displease you, Madam?"

She asked directly, and the eldest lady did not beat around the bush: "Madam Cheng, you came to the mansion to deliver the invitation before. I was not at home. I heard that you had been here, so I sent someone to deliver a gift."

"Yes, that's right. That day..."

"Do you like the gift I gave you?" the eldest lady interrupted her.

"I like it, of course I like it. Madam has a keen eye, so of course it is..."

"Then what did I give her?" the eldest lady looked at her and asked.

Mrs. Cheng was startled. How could she know? She didn't even open it and gave it to the servant directly.

Miss Cheng bowed and took over the conversation, saying, "I asked my mother for the flowers that Madam sent me. They are so beautiful that my mother couldn't bear to give them away."

Her face was full of smiles, she had two dimples, her eyes were twinkling, and she was pretty and cute.

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly. The eldest lady wanted to say something, so she gently held her hand.

"Mrs. Cheng, you are here to buy jewelry today, right? Why don't you go and take a look?"

Mrs. Cheng was just trying to find an excuse to leave, but upon hearing this, she quickly pulled Miss Cheng away.

"It's just a greeting, but you're putting on airs. It's really funny."

"Mother, why bother getting angry with them? We will be getting two pieces of jewelry soon, and your daughter will wear them right now to blind their eyes."

Cheng Fengyao said proudly: "Everyone says that the princess is beautiful, but I think she is just so-so. I will outshine her in a moment!"

"Of course, my daughter is the most beautiful."

Cheng Fengyao touched her face and was overjoyed: "The gods are indeed effective."

Yan Ruyu withdrew her gaze calmly and listened to all their words.

The eldest lady whispered, "I wanted to scold them a little more, but I didn't say it clearly just now."

"Mother, don't be angry. It's not worth it to be with such a villain. Besides," Yan Ruyu pondered for a moment, "Do you think Miss Cheng has become more beautiful?"

The eldest lady looked at Cheng Fengyao again: "If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have noticed. It's true, she seems to be prettier than that day. But, we were going to the temple that day, so we shouldn't dress too heavily, and the makeup shouldn't be too heavy."

"Today is different. We are here to buy jewelry and compete for beauty, so we will naturally dress up carefully."

Yan Ruyu thought about it and felt that what the eldest lady said was right.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Zhou came out, followed by several waiters, each holding a tray covered with red cloth.

As soon as they appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of all the ladies and girls, who involuntarily came forward.

The eldest lady also pulled Yan Ruyu forward.

Shopkeeper Zhou said with a smile, "Dear guests, these past two days are the days when we have new products in our jewelry store. Thanks to your kindness yesterday, all the new products were sold out. Today we have another batch, which is also the last batch of this month."

There was a commotion among the crowd. This was just the beginning of this month and this was the last batch.

"According to the old rules, please go to the number box to draw a number plate. Each piece of jewelry will be displayed later. Everyone raises their number and bids. The highest bidder wins."

It's just a simple small auction.

This method saves a lot of trouble. In the past, when new products were launched, there were many customers but few products in the store. Although we could make a lot of money, there were also many conflicts. Almost every time we had to resolve some disputes and give away some small gifts.

The gifts were not a big deal, the key was how to deal with the conflicts, which gave Manager Zhou a headache.

However, ever since he asked Yan Ruyu for advice, he has been using this method, only recognizing numbers and only recognizing the highest bidders, and the contradiction has suddenly disappeared.

If you are not satisfied, just bid. If you don't want to bid, then just keep silent.

Not only did the conflict disappear, but the price of the jewelry was even higher than before. Shopkeeper Zhou was happy to make money and sell goods.

It was the same this time. He glanced and saw Yan Ruyu, his face changed slightly. Yan Ruyu shook her head slightly, indicating that he should proceed as usual.

Seeing Yan Ruyu was there, Manager Zhou also put in all his efforts. He wanted to let Yan Ruyu see how good the effect of his method was and to understand the other person's feelings.

"Okay," Shopkeeper Zhou cleared his throat, "Then the next piece of jewelry is a pair of ruby ​​earrings."

When the red cloth was lifted, the tray was filled with earrings, including rubies, pearls, and jadeite.

Ruby was the first.

The gem is not big, but it is well cut and reflects light. It has a silver tower shape and is delicately hollowed out. The gem is inlaid right at the top. The pagoda red stone is beautiful and dignified.

Shopkeeper Zhou hooked up the pair of earrings with a small silver hook and held them up high for everyone to see.

It looks prettier when held up than when placed on a plate.

Many young ladies exclaimed in admiration.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, how much is this one?"

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said, "The reserve price is one hundred and fifty taels."

"Two hundred taels!"

"Two hundred and twenty!"

The eldest lady also shouted: "Three hundred taels!"

Yan Ruyu: "..."

"Three hundred and twenty!"

The eldest lady wanted to add more, but Yan Ruyu quickly held her back.

The eldest lady was a little anxious: "I think this one looks good. You have fair skin and it suits you very well. Don't stop me, I want to buy it."

Yan Ruyu was helpless and whispered a few words.

The eldest lady opened her eyes wide in surprise, and Yan Ruyu nodded.

The eldest lady immediately stopped raising the price and the corners of her mouth curled up and then down.

It’s so funny. This jewelry was actually painted by Ruyu and the price was also set by her.

Cheng Fengyao, who was standing by, saw this scene and secretly despised it.

The Prince of Zhennan's Palace was indeed all show and no substance; a pair of earrings revealed their true colors.

She raised her voice and held her chin up proudly.

"Five hundred taels!"
