Chapter 40: Don't Mess With Me
As expected, rushed into the top three, today is the fourth update. Another update tonight, hoping that the votes of brothers will continue to be fierce and rush together.
The two siblings walked on the street, having walked past several shops without finding a suitable gift. Qin Shou raised her head and glanced over, seeing that they were not far from Yongsheng Jewelry Store, and hurriedly called out: "Wu Shuang, let's go take a look there."
Yong Sheng Jewelry Store is a giant in the jewelry industry of Luo Jiang County and also the most favored place for the nobles of Luo Jiang County.
As they walked into the hall, several shop assistants glanced at them and sized them up from head to toe, but just smiled and turned back to continue chatting or working, without anyone coming over to greet them.
Yongsheng Jewelry is a jewelry store that relies on the support of nobles, but this does not mean that any noble family has the ability to consume here!
These shop assistants are usually courteous and have a wide range of experiences, they have their own set of theories about people. Seeing the two dressed in shabby noble attire, they immediately became less enthusiastic.
A humble aristocrat, what great purchasing power can they have?
Qin You ignored the disdain in people's eyes, Qin Wushuang saw it but didn't react. He was very clear about how realistic this world was, these shop assistants looked down on others, nothing surprising. If he took offense at such trivial matters, all he would do every day was get angry.
To change others' views, you must first change your own position.
What made Qin Wushuang depressed was that the jewelry displayed in the showcase of Yongsheng Jewelry Store in the hall was too mediocre, and it would be barely acceptable to give it to ordinary people. If he were to take these things to the Daqi family mansion, even if the Daqi family didn't mind, Qin Wushuang himself would feel embarrassed. He himself was a bachelor, so he didn't care, but the key was his sister Qin Xiu, who was a girl with a thin face, and in such an occasion, she would inevitably be embarrassed.
"Peerless, what do you think of this pendant?"
"It'll do."
"Hmm, what about these earrings?"
"Alright."
"Hmm, this cufflink is pretty good, what do you think, Wú Shuāng?"
"Unremarkable qualifications."
Qin Wushuang had lived two lifetimes, and his experiences were countless. What precious treasures hadn't he seen before? He could come and go as he pleased in the British Museum, taking whatever he wanted, and his discerning eye was quite particular. In his eyes, these mediocre jewelry pieces were indeed not much different from rubble.
"Yong Sheng Jewelry Store has such a big name, is this all you have to offer?" Qin Wushuang couldn't help but retort when he saw the group of store employees looking at them with mocking gazes.
A petite shop assistant walked over with an official tone, her voice slightly acidic: "Good things are available, but they're all prepared for high-end aristocratic families. Even these aren't affordable for ordinary people."
Look at her tone and expression, it's clear that she has already classified Qin Wushuang and the others as "ordinary people".
Qin Yu didn't think much of it and smiled: "Please take us to see something better."
"Sorry, the higher-end section is only open to nobles of the Wang family and above. As for you..." The shop assistant looked them up and down with malice, "Descendants of a humble family, we don't serve your kind. If you just want to broaden your horizons, there's no need to use such a clumsy method."
"What makes you think that?" Qin Shou said displeasedly.
"Sorry, that's our store policy. And to be honest, I think so too." The shop assistant took the lead, and with Qin Wushuang's previous tone, he was quite disdainful of these jewels, making her feel that these two were just pretending.
"You're really unreasonable." Qin Sleeve said angrily, "I've never seen anyone do business like you guys, deliberately driving customers away."
"We naturally welcome customers who can truly afford to consume. What we're worried about are those who obviously can't afford it but still deliberately find fault with this and that. If you can't afford it, just say so."
Qin Wushuang smiled leisurely: "Sister, have you seen? What is meant by 'dogs looking down on people', this is reality."
After finishing speaking, his face suddenly changed, staring at the store clerk, and said lightly: "I don't want to waste words with you, I don't want to look for trouble, take us to a better display cabinet."
The shop assistant hadn't spoken yet, but a cold and sarcastic voice came from outside the door: "Qin Wushuang, is this all you're capable of, bullying girls?"
Qin Wushuang heard this voice and her eyebrows furrowed, she didn't even need to turn around, she knew it was Yun Qianyun, the self-satisfied Miss Yun from the Yun family.
Turning back coldly, he indeed saw Yun Qingyan standing in the front row with a face full of disdain, his eyes filled with mockery and contempt, as if seeing Qin Wushuang was the most unlucky thing in the world.
Yun Qingyan was followed by five or six people, including both men and women. Each of them was dressed in elegant attire, with a noble bearing. They all looked different from one another, but they shared a common feature - their noses were all upturned.
It seems that within the Lujiang County, looking someone in the eye is a great shame.
Qin Wushuang saw these people one by one with hateful faces, and felt very unlucky. He thought to himself, "Today I went out without checking the almanac, how come troubles keep coming?"
He glanced at the crowd with disdain, and Qin Wushuang didn't bother to pay attention. The great master of the martial arts sect reincarnated, entangled with a group of half-grown children, was obviously very boring.
A man in a Taoist robe suddenly spoke up: "Qingyan sister, is this young master from a humble family the one who has been making you unhappy lately?"
Yun Qingyan curled her lip: "Isn't it him? This guy is not only rude and impolite, but also full of tricks. Qin Wushuang, I'm asking you, was the theft at the Wu Tong Institute last time your doing?"
Yun Qingyan thought about it over the years, and every time he remembered that matter, he felt more and more that something was off. If Xu Ting was behind it, what reason did he have to make such a big show of shouting "thief" while being the thief himself?
Especially Qin Wushuang's words before and after, seem to have a hint in advance, as if he knew that there was a ghost in Xu Ting's room, and he used his words to trap Xu Ting early on.
Yun Qingyan had always thought that Qin Wushuang, who couldn't even beat Zhang Xian, didn't have the ability to harm Xu Ting. However, recently, Qin Wushuang's momentum suddenly rose, and he killed both Zhang Xian brothers. Moreover, the humble Qin family actually challenged the wealthy Xu family! This made her harbor serious suspicions about Qin Wushuang.
Qin Wushuang didn't even turn his head, let out a snort of contempt and sneered: "You can't even take care of your own personal belongings, yet you come to ask me what I'm doing? The thing was found by someone else, go ask them. What does it have to do with me?"
"Light rain, this poor young man, is quite rude. Your Luo Jiang County's aristocratic circle, indeed has some good and bad mixed together."
Three men and three women in a row, the man who spoke was dressed in magnificent attire, with a beautiful jade pendant around his waist, he had the most majestic figure, standing between two young people, obviously the leader of this small circle.
"Ye Feng Shixiong, I'm afraid you're laughing at me." A woman with a similar appearance to Yun Qingyan, but more mature and charming, said softly from behind her.
The woman was dressed in pink, her two eyebrows seemed to be speaking, with a slight raise and a slight stroke, as if they contained infinite charm, making people see her with affection. It was Yun Qingyun's sister, Yun Qingyu.
Can't help but admit, the Yun family's two sisters are considered to be among the top beauties in Luojiang County. But that's all there is to it. Qin Wushuang had seen countless beautiful women on screen in his past life, yet none of them made him feel astonished. It wasn't that those beauties weren't stunning or that they weren't pretty, but in Qin Wushuang's aesthetic view, they always lacked a little something.
These two sisters in front of me are quite beautiful, but they have one thing in common: the eyes that reflect the kind of vulgarity and utilitarianism often found in the aristocratic world.
A woman, if her eyes are not pure, will be greatly discounted in Qin Wushuang's aesthetics. Compared to her sister Qin Xiu, she is inferior by a huge margin.
Like autumn water, dust does not stain, that kind of beauty under those eyes, can be called a sentence of stunning!
That young man named Ye Feng shrugged casually: "Laughable? That's not the case, I, Ye Feng, am not superficial enough to have the same understanding as a child of a humble family?"
Yun Qingyan saw that both her sister and Ye Feng were speaking up for her, so she gained more confidence. With a slight toss of her small waist, she asked sternly: "Qin Wushuang, are you a man or not? If you're a man, then don't hide or conceal yourself. Are you daring to do something but not daring to admit it?"
Qin Wushuang furrowed his brow, this group of people was even more detestable than fleas. If you didn't pay attention to them, they would become even more arrogant. Don't you treat me with the same courtesy as a commoner? Am I not worthy of being treated with the same respect as you?
"Whether I'm a man or not, Miss Yun can find a place to verify it herself. Just talking nonsense, Qin certain person doesn't have the time to accompany you in idle chatter."
As soon as this was said, Yun's sisters changed color at the same time, and another girl who had been silent all along also looked at Qin Wushuang with some surprise.
It was clear that they did not expect a poor scholar like him to dare utter such disrespectful words.
The man in the soap robe who had been trying to curry favor with Yun Qingyan suddenly flew into a rage: "You little brat, it seems you're tired of living!"
Qin Wushuang burst out laughing, turned around and asked calmly: "What? Are you thinking of becoming a guardian deity? Don't you think this plot is a bit too cliché?"
The cloud behind him suddenly said, "Ling Tian, don't bother with this kind of inferior noble."
The man in the black robe, named Ling Tian, shouted loudly: "If he had offended me, I could have just laughed it off. But he has repeatedly been rude to Miss Qingyan, and I absolutely cannot forgive him for that. You little brat, come out! Young Master will weigh you up and see how much you're worth, daring to be so arrogant!"
Qin Xiu felt stifled, these people were really unreasonable. They were the ones who provoked the incident, but they still had to speak with a sense of righteousness.
Qin Wushuang glanced at him with a look of contempt and turned to the salesperson, saying, "Take me to a more high-end display case."
Ignored, he was completely ignored by a poor young man.
Ling Tian was thoroughly enraged this time!
