Chapter 129 I'm Richer Than Him
I tried everything at Puyangxuan, and they were all delicious. The taste seemed so familiar...
"Sword Dance, are the cooks at the General's Mansion and the cooks at Jubaozhai trained together?"
It's no wonder that Puyang Xuan has a keen sense of taste. He pays extra attention to anything related to Yang Jianwu. When they dine together at the General's Mansion, he observes which dishes she eats the most and what she doesn't like to pick up. If you don't even know the tastes of the person you like, how can you eat together?
Yang Jianwu swallowed the meat in her mouth. "We weren't trained together. All the chefs are from Huashuiyuefang."
A "clang" sounded as the spoon in Puyangxuan's hand hit the bowl.
"Don't tell me you also get a cut from Huashuiyuefang..."
This is terrifying! Pu Yangxuan was afraid Yang Jianwu would give a definite answer, and suddenly felt somewhat inferior. He knew he couldn't compete with her in terms of money; her earning power was too strong...
"Yeah, there is."
Puyang Xuan closed his eyes in despair...
"Waaah~ Sword Dance, is your wealth only comparable to that of Emperor Dongli?"
Yang Jianwu quickly reviewed her assets in her mind and answered truthfully, "No!"
Pu Yangxuan was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when Yang Jianwu's next sentence completely stunned him!
"I'm richer than him!"
"Hehe, are you kidding me?"
"There's no need for that!"
He's richer than Emperor Dongli, that's enough to rival a nation's wealth, no, his wealth far surpasses that of a nation!
What do you need so much money for?
"I told you, I need to support my father's army! And what doesn't cost money to train your own people?"
Pu Yangxuan was stunned for a moment. How could he make money quickly?
Seeing that Puyang Xuan was somewhat dumbfounded, Yang Jianwu kindly used serving chopsticks to serve him food.
"Eat up, why think so much? We're not enemies right now, so there's no need to be scared."
"Uh-huh……"
He wants to get even closer to Jianwu!
Puyang Xuan picked up a piece of Jianwubu's food and put it in his mouth. "Tsk tsk, why doesn't it taste as good as before... This is too much pressure, what should I do..."
After dinner, Puyang Xuan took Yang Jianwu to the Suyan Pavilion next door. Even if he wasn't as rich as his beloved, he still wanted to do his best to give her a gift!
It was early afternoon, and there weren't many customers at Suyan Pavilion. Manager Lan happened to be out on errands, so a young maid was serving the two of them. Puyang Xuan had someone bring out all the new products for Yang Jianwu to choose from, and he also actively helped to give her suggestions.
The reason why Su Yan Ge is so popular is because it offers a wide variety of products. There are several types of loose powder, including skin care, whitening, and acne treatment, with different functions and prices. For eyebrow shaping, there are stone ink, copper ink, blue sparrow head ink, and snail ink, with varying quality to meet the needs of different levels.
Lip products are even more numerous, and no woman can resist their allure! There are seven main categories: lipstick, lip gloss, lip tint, lip balm, lip liner, cushion lip gloss, and lip and cheek balm, each with numerous color options. They can also be categorized by texture: tinted lip balm, matte, satin, cream, moisturizing, pearlescent, shimmery, and highlighting.
Pu Yangxuan felt a bit overwhelmed by the introduction and finally looked to Yang Jianwu for help.
"Sword Dance, why don't you choose for yourself?"
Yang Jianwu chuckled inwardly, but feigned reluctance on the surface: "With so many colors, which one should I choose? This matte mauve is very sophisticated and should be suitable for a banquet; this creamy orange is also nice, quite playful, and this pink is also very suitable for me!"
Puyang Xuan simply waved his hand and said, "Then I'll get one of each!"
"At least show some sincerity when you give a gift. You didn't even choose one. What kind of gift-giving is that..."
"Um...it seems so...let me check again..."
Pu Yangxuan carefully examined each lipstick, but always felt that it was just a little lacking in matching Jianwu.
Seeing Puyang Xuan's predicament, Yang Jianwu stopped teasing him. "Let's go, Puyang Xuan. I have all of these. If you want to give one away, just pick one."
Puyang Xuan hesitated before choosing a bright red color. He was in a dilemma; he wanted to choose something suitable for his sword dance, but he also wanted to express his feelings...
Just as they were about to pay the bill, Manager Lan happened to enter and saw a man handing lip rouge to his master. He was instantly petrified!
When will this matter be resolved?! Does this mean they're going to have a male lead? Ugh~ How can they accept money from the male lead?!
Manager Lan quickly ran to the counter and stuffed the money back into Pu Yangxuan's hand. The young maid who was serving him was stunned. When she saw that it was the manager, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Manager Lan is back."
"Okay, you can go down now. I'll take care of things here."
"Yes."
After the young maid left, Manager Lan bowed to Yang Jianwu and complained in a low voice, "Master, were you deliberately testing us? How could we accept your money?"
Yang Jianwu glared at Manager Lan, "Which eye of yours saw that it was my money? The money belongs to this young master..."
Shopkeeper Lan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled, "Master, don't be silly. Apart from Guard Luo Li, when have you ever had a man by your side? You don't need to be embarrassed, I understand!"
Yang Jianwu, ignoring the throbbing veins on her forehead, plopped down on a nearby chair. "What do you know?!" Her little money was gone...
Puyang Xuan thought he was hallucinating, but he also confirmed something from their conversation.
"Manager Lan", "Master", that means that Su Yan Pavilion is also a sword dance!
Puyang Xuan admired her in his heart; Jianwu was truly wealthy!
On second thought, since Su Yan Ge belongs to Jian Wu, she must know how lip balm is made! What could be better than making it herself to express her feelings?!
Pu Yangxuan placed the selected lipstick on the counter, then tugged at Yang Jianwu's sleeve, "Jianwu, I've thought of a way to give a gift with sincerity!"
"Ok?"
I'll personally make you a lip gloss!
"what?!"
Upon hearing that Puyang Xuan wanted to personally make lip rouge for his master, Manager Lan quickly stepped forward to show his loyalty, "Oh my, young master, you are so thoughtful! Our backyard is a workshop, and everything is readily available. If you want to make one for your master yourself, then come with me!"
Yang Jianwu stood in front of the two of them, "Stop! What are you talking about... Just pick one and send it to me..."
Pu Yangxuan shook his head firmly, "No, it has to be sincere. I'll make it myself. It may not be perfect, but it represents my sincerity. You give me a sketch you drew yourself, and I'll give you lip balm I made myself. That would be perfect!"
Shopkeeper Lan, never one to shy away from stirring things up, chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Is it too late for Yang Jianwu to pretend she doesn't know Manager Lan...?
