Chapter 40 The man who is willing to spend money for women

What is the income of the Xiao family for the next year? Gentle paused, looked up at him, and asked, "How much money can a year of ceramics earn? "

"What are you asking about this?" Xiao Jingtang frowned, and his expression would only be told by a fool.

"Just ask, it doesn't matter if I know anyway." Wenru flattered his mouth: "If you are so stingy and refuse to say it, then forget it."

“…”

He glanced at her half-hung his eyes, Xiao Shazi said in a muffled voice: "Last year, he collected 120,000 taels. If he can successfully become the imperial tribute this year, it will double several times."

Ten...120,000?!Double?!Gentle was frightened and looked at him with wide mouth like a frog.

If such a big business is really ruined by her, will Xiao Jingtang take her to the Wolf Forest again?

After a chill, Gentle and a little cowardly: "I feel uncomfortable. How can I not go to that conference?"

"No." Xiao Jingtang said: "The mistress of the Xiao family must attend, this is the rule."

It is said to be a ceramic conference, but in fact it is their ** businessman... no, it is a secret competition between wealthy businessmen. Each circle has its own rules and procedures to carry their families to express their importance to the conference, and by the way, letting their women overwhelm others on clothes and jewelry is also something that the men are happy to do. After all, what every female family wears is their own things.

The gentle face was bitter, and the eyes looked left and right, but I didn’t have the courage to look at Xiao Jingtang again.

Although Xiao Jingtang certainly wouldn't know what good things she did, she is still under the roof of the Xiao family. She has to be present to watch the things that have turned her elbows out, so she is inevitably guilty.

"What are you worried about?" Seeing her hesitant look, Xiao Jingtang moved slightly and turned to look at the jewelry on her dressing table.

The heads and faces of the past were all deceptive by Gentle, and later they made money and bought some again. But they were not very expensive, and they were usually dressed without any hindrance. If they were going to the conference... they were a little bit cold.

Speaking of which, he always bought jewelry for other women in the backyard, but he deliberately ignored her every time. Until now, he has never bought anything for Du Wenrou.

Thinking of Butler Xiao's words, Xiao Jingtang pursed his lips and asked in a low voice: "Are you free now?"

"Ah?" Wenrou responded blankly, but couldn't hear what he was asking.

"Follow me." Putting her waist, Xiao Jingtang turned his head and instructed his servants: "Prepare the carriage."

"Where are you going?" He shook his hand uncomfortable and frowned gently.

Looking at her and retracting her hand, Xiao Jingtang said lightly: "Langlin."

Langlin?! Gentle's face turned pale and immediately squatted on the ground, feeling aggrieved and scared: "Why did I take me to Langlin again? What did I do wrong? Do you have any evidence?"

What does it mean? The Second Young Master Xiao looked at her for no reason: "I'm talking about the Langlin Jewelry Shop of the Xiao family, what do you think it is?"

Jewelry Shop? He paused gently, then stood up and grinned his teeth fiercely: "What is the good jewelry shop called Langlin! You don't know if I'm afraid of it?"

“…”

There was a strange soreness in his heart. Xiao Jingtang lowered his eyes and was silent for a while before saying, "That time, you bullied others first, no wonder I taught you a lesson."

"Okay, okay." Wenrou knew that she ignored her at that time and hummed, "If you want to go, go quickly, I'm still rushing back to bed."

Does this woman have to do everything every day except sleeping or eating? Xiao Jingtang shook her head and glanced at her body. It is rare that she has not grown into a pig yet.

Xiao Ji's jewelry store occupied a whole mahogany and green tiled building on the busiest street. In the afternoon, it was the time for business to be good. When Wenrou got off the bus with Xiao Jingtang, she saw people coming and going at the door of the shop, which was so jewel-like.

"You want to buy me jewelry?" Gentle raised his eyebrows and tsk twice: "It's rare, I'm finally willing to spend money on me."

Although many girls are self-reliant and do not like to spend men's money, and even give money to men, men are like men, and have machismos that have been flowing in their bones for thousands of years. It is a nature to support their wives and spend money on their wives. If they are willing to spend money for you, they really like you. Even if they don't like it in the future, they will not be willing to leave easily, after all, they have invested a lot of money.

So although she doesn't like asking men for money to spend, it's still acceptable when men are willing to spend it.

"You can't afford the expensive jewelry, either."

I was in a good mood, and the idiot next to me just said something like this.

Her gentle face suddenly sank. She looked at him with her head tilted and said, "What do you mean? I bought something for me or caused trouble for me? If you don't want it, just say it, I don't want it yet!"

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Xiao Jingtang was stunned, and quickly reached out to pull the person, frowned and glared at her.

"What are you doing?" Gentle and soft said impatiently: "Your eyes are so beautiful?"

With a snorting, Master Xiao Er didn't explain much, and pulled her into the door of Langlin Jewelry Shop.

There are three floors in this jewelry shop, one floor has more people, two floors have few people, and three floors have no one. Wen Rou muttered as she went upstairs: "Are you crazy? You said I'm not worth it, and you took me to see the most expensive one?"

"The ones above are not the most expensive." Xiao Jingtang said seriously: "It is the most unsold. You can choose two of them at will to suit you."

gentle:"……"

I have never seen such a man who can't speak. Why hasn't his tongue been pulled out yet?!

The accompanying fellow laughed a few times, took them to the third floor, then took a few brocade boxes, opened them one by one, and placed them in front of Wenrou.

I have seen many modern high imitations, and my gentle appreciation ability is not high at all. I only look at the styles and think that these jewelry is quite monotonous, so I looked at it without saying a word.

Xiao Jingtang was tense, but his heart was a little irritated. Butler Xiao said that women like jewelry, but why did this person not react at all when he looked at these?

Do you think it's not good-looking enough?

After thinking about it, he spoke, "Get the red sandalwood box together."

"Yes." The guy responded and carefully took out a red sandalwood box from the cabinet with three locks. It was covered with soft yellow brocade. The head of the yellow brocade was lined with a set of emerald-inlaid gold ornaments. The carvings were particularly exquisite, and the phoenix was flying flowers. There were thin golden silk hanging on the golden crown, which was very gorgeous.

Gentle glanced and said, "This should be quite valuable, right?"

"Why do you think it's valuable?" Xiao Jingtang asked.

"Because it's gold." Gentle said as expected: "Gold of a very pure color is much brighter than these."

Man: "…"

Xiao Jingtang: "..."

The first time I met someone who didn’t look at emeralds, I thought gold was valuable! He was angry and smiled, shook his head and told the guy: “Put this valuable gold jewelry for the second young lady.”

"Yes." The guy responded, carefully picked up the necklace and was about to put it on Wenrou, but Xiao Jingtang suddenly reached out and took the chain away.

"I'll do it, you go down."

He looked inexplicable, but the guy was obedient, touched the back of his head and went downstairs.

Unscrew the buckle, Young Master Xiao carefully wrapped his bracelet across his gentle neck, and then slowly buckled it behind her neck.

He frowned gently and moved uncomfortablely.

This person's movement was too ambiguous, his chin was about to rub against her cheek, so he couldn't stand behind her and buckle it!

"I said." She couldn't help but speak, "Are you taking advantage of me?"

"Hmm?" Xiao Jingtang had no expression on his face, and he lowered his eyes and glanced at her disgust: "Where can you take advantage of?"

She looked unhurried and said seriously. She was really tied with a necklace seriously, and there was no other meaning. She swallowed gently and thought that she was thinking too much. This person was normal when she didn't take the aphrodisiac medicinal meal. How could she want to eat her tofu?

So she stubbornly asked him to tie an incense necklace, followed by earrings, bracelets and headdresses.

"Are you lying to me?" He looked at the jewelry set in the bronze mirror and narrowed his eyes gently: "How could this not be sold? I look better than the ones downstairs."

Not only is it better than the one downstairs? This set of jewelry is a treasure in Langlinli’s Zhendian.

Xiao Jingtang didn't answer her. Seeing that she was satisfied on her head, she looked at her clothes and started to look disgusted again: "How long has it been since you made new clothes?"

He looked down at his dress and shrugged gently: "Don't you think it looks good? The material is also good, it's still the red ones that should be in the main room, and the patterns are also good."

"The Du family's eldest lady's eyelids are so shallow, and no one believes it if she says it." With a sneer, Xiao Jingtang dragged her downstairs. He ran into many young ladies and wives on the way, all looking at Wen Rou like a monster.

"What do they mean by this look?" Wen Rou frowned and looked down at herself: "This dress is really ugly?"

It wasn't a problem with clothes, Xiao Jingtang sneered and said, "Since you know, I'll go and rebuild it. It's still time to go to the embroidery building today."

Is there a time to be a ghost? Gentle frowned: "If I remember correctly, the pure hand-embroidery and a good piece of clothing you have here will take ten days and half a month to make, right?"

With a sneer, Xiao Jingtang said, "We have no time anymore, do you still want embroidery?"

No one told her to prepare clothes in advance or something? Gentle and Rou said unhappily: "It would be better to go back to the closet and choose one, at least there are embroidered ones."

"Do you like embroidery?"

"I don't like it very much, but don't all the rich people here wear this way?"

Don’t start, Xiao Jingtang didn’t say anything. When the carriage arrived at the place, he pulled her down.

"Xiangxiu Pavilion." He glanced at the plaque, then looked at the lobby where there was no one, and raised his eyebrows gently: "Why is this business so bad?"

Xiao Jingtang, who was walking in front, almost staggered, turned around and looked at her with great contempt, and took the person in: "If you don't understand, please stop talking nonsense, stand up obediently."

Did she say it wrong? Gentle glanced at the lobby and there was indeed no customer!
