Chapter 171 Trouble At The Doorstep
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The fatty was dressed in fancy Christmas tree-like garment, jewelry hanging all over him. Eight of his ten fat sausage-like fingers were wearing large gold rings. At this time, the five fat sausages were tugging on Gu Ming’s sleeves. The folds of flesh on his face jiggled with his movements.
Seeing Lady Gu’s brow gradually furrowing, Yin Ba promptly asked, “What’s wrong?”
The guy in charge of entertaining the fatty replied without delay, “This guest wants to go to the second floor but is unwilling to pay a deposit.”
”Where is this bumpkin from who doesn’t even know the rules of the Yinzhen Pavilion? Why are you following someone to trouble? Throw him out this instant, so as not to disturb the guests.” It was suChapter a trivial matter yet he still had to step up to solve it. What did he need subordinates for?
”Wait! Don’t tell me that this poor kid can pay a thousand taels of silver! Do you, Yinzhen Pavilion, still classify your customers into three, six or nine classes? Doesn’t this make your shop bullying customers?!” The fatty pointed at Gu Ming and yelled, unconvinced.
Gu Ming didn’t expect suChapter a rule, so for a moment, he didn’t know what to do. Deposit was required to go up to the second floor? Even if he was chopped up and sold, he wouldn’t be worth a thousand taels of silver!
”Who are you calling poor?!” Gu Ye was unhappy.
Is it amazing to be rich? It’s as if no one else has money. Isn’t it just one thousand taels of silver?
In her space, including the silver bills that her Master kept, couldn’t she make up one thousand taels?
She walked down two steps and pinched the acupuncture points on the fatty’s wrist. The fatty only felt a piercing pain in his wrist and instinctively let go of Gu Ming, and then shook his hand incessantly.
Gu Ye stared at him condescendingly and said with a sneer, “If you’re not poor, why are you unwilling to pay a deposit of one thousand taels? Are all your big gold chains and gold rings fake? You look riChapter and powerful, but it’s all actually reflected in the swelling on your face, right? No, no, my mistake. Your face is not swollen, it is really fat!”
Although her voice wasn’t loud, her childish voice was inherently more shrill.
Those who could enter the Yinzhen Pavilion for consumption were all wealthy. Although there were many people on the first floor, they were very quiet. Thus, her voice echoed in the silent hall. The guests on the first floor couldn’t help laughing when they heard her.
”You… Believe it or not, I will beat you!” The fatty was enraged. He swung his fist like a pig’s trotter and rushed towards Gu Ye. At the sight of it, Yin Ba immediately stood on guard.
Before he could make a move, the fatty fell down on the steps with a “whoosh” and knocked his nose on the edge of the steps. Almost instantly, his nose bled profusely. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Gu Ming retracting his little foot.
Well done!
”Oops! Take it easy. With your weight, you can easily fall down the stairs in a shop if you are not careful. If you cause loss of goods or personnel, I’m afraid you can’t afford to pay for it even if you are sold by the pound!” Gu Ye pinched a handkerchief with orchid fingers, covered her mouth, and said in a thin voice.
The fatty was hopping mad. He felt like he died and was resurrected. He struggled to get up, wiped his nosebleed with a hand, and pounced menacingly on Gu Ye again.
This time around, the guards in the store no longer played the weaklings. Two tall and strappy men clamped the fatty’s arms from left and right, and controlled him.
”If you dare to cause trouble in our Yinzhen Pavilion, you must bear the consequences. You, throw him into the yamen[1] and let the magistrate dispose of him!”
Given the power of the Hidden Soul Hall, even the yamen would give him special treatment. In addition, the magistrate of Yan City was his own. He even had dinner with that brother yesterday. Since the fatty was about to enter the yamen, he shouldn’t expect ending up well!
However, some guests on the first floor were full of dissatisfaction after fatty made a fuss. Most of these people couldn’t pay the security deposit, so they could only let their eyes feast on the items on the first floor.
Why could those two kids go up to the second floor, but they couldn’t? Wasn’t this too discriminatory?
Yin Ba glanced at those people indifferently and said with a sneer, “These two came with Ninth Young Master Jun upstairs. There is no rule in Yinzhen Pavilion that a family has to pay multiple deposits!”
Oh, I see! Those disgruntled guests on the first floor withdrew their gaze.
”Miss, please follow me upstairs.” Yin Ba made a gesture of invitation.
However, Gu Ye did not raise a foot and instead stared at him wordlessly with a smile. In an instant, Yin Ba felt the hair on his neck stand on end: What’s wrong? Little Ancestor, I didn’t offend you, did I?
”Shopkeeper, are you prejudiced against country people?” The Little Ancestor finally spoke when Yin Ba’s forehead began to sweat.
Phew! It turns out to be this point. I just scolded that fatty and called him a bumpkin and offended the Little Ancestor!
