Chapter 827 Can I Go Up Now?

r plate with food.As soon as she arrived, she was sold to a family in the mountains to be their daughter-in-law. She thought it would be a terrible thing, but unexpectedly, heaven had surprises for he...Fang Jinshi let out a snort of laughter.

"Four floors up, no civilians allowed, is this the rule of your Baibao Building"

The people at Baibao Lou wouldn't dare admit it publicly, after all, while the things on the lower three floors were cheap, they had a large customer base. The noble ladies of Beijing don't come to buy jewelry every day.

This unspoken rule existed in their building, and the common people at the bottom knew it well. They were aware of their place, and for all these years, no one had been so reckless as Fang Jinshu to openly challenge this norm.

If we stir up public anger, it might affect the businesses in the building.

He had to bite the bullet and deny it.

Of course not.

Fang Jinshu picked up an eyebrow.

"If it's not, why can't I go take a look."

His face turned dark, “I told you that the dishes on top are too expensive for you to afford, there’s no need to go up there.”

Fang Jinshi coldly smiled, "Whether I can afford it is my business. Since your building doesn't have a hard and fast rule, anyone can go to the fourth floor."

"Why are you stopping me"

The women below agreed with Fang Jinxiu's words. They couldn't afford the things on display upstairs, but no one said they couldn't go up and have a look.

For so many years, not a single person has had this awareness.

Some people may have thought about it, but no one dared to take action.

After all, if you go upstairs and don't buy anything, you'll definitely be scorned by the people at Baobao Building again. No one wants to lose face.

"Our building doesn't actually have a specific rule against people going to the fourth floor."

"But the innkeeper did say that only guests who had spent over five thousand taels at the shop were received on the fourth floor and above."

The guests below gasped at the number five thousand taels.

They think it's amazing to wear jewelry worth a few dozen ounces of silver, imagine what five thousand ounces could buy!

It's inconceivable.

Those who just now supported Fang Jinshui and thought her words were reasonable suddenly fell silent.

While it's fun to watch the excitement, no one wants to argue with their wallet.

"If this lady were to spend five thousand taels of silver at our shop all at once, you could freely browse the upper four floors. I absolutely wouldn't dare stop you."

Fang Jinxiu's clothes today were slightly more plain than the day she entered the capital. It wasn't that the material was plain, it was just that her attire wasn't as eye-catching and more elegant.

She didn't like wearing too many ornaments on her body or head. She only had a hairpin in her hair bun, not even earrings.

So she's being overlooked

"You should still leave." The shopkeeper of Baibao Building saw that she hadn't spoken for a long time, and just as he was about to say "Get lost," he saw Fang Jinshu take out a token from her bosom.

She really didn't want to give her money away cheaply to such a merchant. Suddenly, she remembered that she had once received a prince's token here.

The special token of King Jing'an was crafted from top-grade jade. Anyone knowledgeable about jade could instantly tell it was genuine.

Moreover, who in their right mind would dare forge a royal seal as a commoner This is a crime punishable by death.

The buddy looked at the black badge, on which were inscribed the two characters "Jing An".

He immediately went to his knees before Fang Jinshu.

From the back, no one could see what was happening. All they saw was the same fellow who had been looking down on everyone just moments ago suddenly kneeling before the woman in front of him with a look of terror on his face. There was no trace of his former arrogance.

"You, you blind fool."

"My lady, please forgive me!"

Fang Jinshi was quite surprised. She didn't expect the token given by the fat old man to be so useful even in the capital city.

"Can I go up now"

The companion hastily stood up and led the way for her, his attitude completely different from before, fawning over her with all his might.hen a man was around, she would immediately act like she didn't know anything. Don't get me wrong, the "green tea" trick worked pretty well, but Zong Yu wasn't that kind of lazy man. Her behavior cou...
