CHAPTER 104

Which is More Valuable, Yinpiao or Gold?

(Translated by: RenRen, Edited by: Yzrahc`drizzle)

“A?” Jing Yue’s and ShangGuan LingLan’s minds went blank. They blankly stared at those yinpiao that had covered the whole table, saying, “So it means, we won?”

“Obviously… yes.” Fang ZiCheng spread out his hands and shrugged.

“HAHAHAHA……” Jing Yue burst into laughter. That timid appearance a moment ago was gone, and now standing on a chair was a girl beaming with arrogance, towering over everyone. Her gaze fixed on Princess LeYang and said, “How is it!? Do you get it now!?”

“You…… I……” Princess LeYang’s face flushed in embarra.s.sment. She looked at Jing Yue and was speechless for a long time.

“This, should clearly tell everyone… You absolutely cannot look down on people!” Jing Yue raised her chin, leaned forward and focused her eyes at Princess LeYang, “You’ve agreed to bet, so you have to accept your loss! Shouldn’t Princess LeYang fulfill your side of the bet? It doesn’t really matter if you want to break your promise, anyway, there are so many people watching, I don’t care.”

Jing Yue shrugged smugly. LeYang was so angry that she almost cried. The feeling of being humiliated was born in her heart. LeYang ruthlessly bit her lip and walked out of the room without a word towards the high platform in the hall. Her eyes were filled with tears as she watched the gazes of the people below. Their gazes looked like they were enjoying an amus.e.m.e.nt.

“I’m an idiot! I’m an idiot! I’m an idiot! You bear this in mind, this princess absolutely won’t spare you!” Princess LeYang glared fiercely at JingYue. She didn’t wait for even one more second before going down. She hastily ran down from the platform and fled.

“Zeze (tsk tsk)…… The courage deserves to be praised.” Jing Yue’s eyes were filled with admiration, completely without the slightest change of emotion even with Princess LeYang’s last threatening words.

“Ei? She seems to have forgotten to take her money away.” Jing Yue blinked her eyes. Upon realizing something, her eyes instantly glittered, “Does this mean, these money belongs to me?”

“Ke ke (cough)…… since you guys were having a bet, these money should be yours.” Fang ZiCheng saw Jing Yue’s greedy look. It was a look that was shown so clearly just like that, without the slightest attempt in concealing it. However, it didn’t make people feel disgusted in the least. On the contrary, people could only feel that she was a very honest person.

“Wa (wow)! HAHA…… Too Great! I’ve made a profit!!!” Jing Yue suddenly cheered out loud. And like a big spender, she called the shopkeeper to get the bill of the room. When the shopkeeper was calculating the bill, Jing Yue suddenly glanced at him and asked in a deadpan manner, “This…… which one is more valuable, yinpiao or gold?”

Upon hearing what Jing Yue had asked, the hand of the shopkeeper, who was currently c

alculating the bill, trembled and carelessly moved the wrong bead. The shopkeeper raised his head towards Jing Yue with a face of absolute fright, before then s.h.i.+fting his head at ShangGuan LingLan’s side who also have an expression of extreme curiosity. His whole body suddenly shuddered, what kind of monsters had he seen today?

Not only do they dare to offend and speak against the Princess, they also could easily come up with tens of millions of taels worth of yinpiao! And now, they were actually asking him which one was more valuable between yinpiao and gold!

Could these two things even be compared?

Could they!?

Could they!!!

“We don’t need to calculate the bill. To the two misses, please consider this meal as our Jin Yan Lou’s treat, we’re happy that you can be our guests.” Jin Yan Lou’s shopkeeper tried hard to steady his breathing. He looked at the two misses and swallowed his saliva, and said, “These are gifts from my Jin Yan Lou, small tokens of our appreciation, please accept them.”

“Ei?” The two misses, Jing Yue and ShangGuan LingLan, blinked their eyes. Their eyes glittered with amazement while staring at the two dark green rings the shopkeeper just gave them, ‘After being full, they were also given presents ah?’

“Jin Yan Lou actually gives out ident.i.ty rings……” Fang ZiCheng opened his eyes wide in astonishment. His eyes were locked on the ring which Jing Yue was fiddling with in her hand, looking completely envious, and said, “I don’t have it, yet you actually have one.”

Renren’s thought (which you can absolutely skip over): Jing Yue’s confusion over ancient time’s money such as silver, gold and yinpiao is understandable. While ShangGuan LingLan’s confusion, I think it was because, like she mentioned before, she had always went out with her brothers and her brothers had always been the ones to pay, she rarely had the need to handle or come up with money on her own. She’s more of a rich, naïve young lady who knew she had to bring money outside, who brought a lot of money but didn’t really understand how much they worth. In case anyone is confused about ‘the storekeeper moved the wrong bead’, the shopkeeper was calculating the bill using an abacus… the shopkeeper pushed the wrong bead on the abacus.
