As soon as the shopkeeper heard Gu Shengyin speak, he knew that she did not come with good intentions.
He looked up and down at Gu Shengyin. When his eyes landed on the inconspicuous lake green dress she was wearing, his pupils shrank.
For a businessman like him, the most important thing was to have a pair of discerning eyes. If he was not wrong, the material of the clothes on the woman in front of him should be "Qianhu Green" from Jiangnan.
Clothes made of Qianhu Green would sway slightly when she walked, giving off a feeling of sparkling light when she slept. It was very popular among the harem of the rich and powerful.
Qianhu Green was extremely precious and rare. Even in a year, there were only a few dozen pieces. Most of them were used as tributes. Those who could afford to use Qianhu Green to make clothes …
The shopkeeper forced a smile on his face, "Miss, what can I do for you?"
Gu Shengyin did not want to speak up for Zhang Mingshu. She just had her own motives and did not want to offend people because of this.
"I happen to have a box of such rubies at home. Whether it is the color or the transparency, they are much better than yours. This price is not very generous of you." She pointed out.
As expected, the shopkeeper's expression changed. He forced a smile and bowed to Zhang Mingshu, "I am really sorry, Miss. This ruby originally belonged to our lady boss and was not for sale. Who would have thought that I would put it in the wrong place today and let you see it. I purposely quoted a high price to make you back off. I apologize to you here. "
Even if Zhang Mingshu did not know the situation, she knew that there was something wrong with the ruby.
Her expression was not good. She did not want to buy the things she had chosen earlier.
She turned her head and saw that Gu Shengyin had already stepped out of the door. She quickly chased after her with her maid.
"Miss, please wait a moment." Zhang Mingshu called out softly from behind Gu Shengyin.
Gu Shengyin was waiting for her to call out. She stopped in her tracks, "Miss, are you calling me?"
Zhang Mingshu hurried a few steps to catch up with Gu Shengyin, "Thank you for speaking up for me just now."
Gu Shengyin smiled faintly. "I just can't bear to see that shop owner passing off shoddy goods as good ones."
Zhang Mingshu thought for a moment and said, "Thank you so much for today, Miss. I wonder if I can treat you to a meal to express my gratitude?"
Of course, Gu Shengyin refused.
Of course, Zhang Mingshu wouldn't let her refuse, so in the end, Zhang Mingshu invited Gu Shengyin to her home.
"Miss Zhang lives alone?" Gu Shengyin pretended to be surprised and asked.
Upon hearing her question, Zhang Mingshu's eyes reddened. Gu Shengyin quickly apologized.
Zhang Mingshu changed the topic and chatted with Gu Shengyin about something else.
She was surprised to find that this new friend of hers was extremely knowledgeable. No matter what she said, she could respond and was very considerate of her feelings.
For a moment, Zhang Mingshu felt that Gu Shengyin was her bosom friend.
Although she lived in Zhenbei Mansion as a guest in the capital, she was just an orphan girl whose parents had both died. Those noble ladies didn't like her. Therefore, although Zhenbei Mansion often took her out, she didn't make many good friends.
Since she was settled in this courtyard, it was even harder for her to find someone to talk to. It was rare to meet someone she could talk to. Of course, Zhang Mingshu was happy.
By the time the servants served the food, Zhang Mingshu had already called her Sister Meng.
Of course, Gu Shengyin couldn't tell her family name. She only said that her surname was Meng, using her mother's surname.
