Chapter 125: Another Fortune Made
Seeing how things were developing, the boss's eyes darted around, and he looked at Lin Yan seriously, saying, "What do you mean by this, girl! Does Miss Jin think she's short of money? I advise you to leave now, or you'll be the one who embarrasses yourself!"
Jin Ziyin was satisfied with what she heard. She glanced at Lin Yan and said disdainfully, "That's right, who do you think you are to compete with me! I say I want something, and I want it!"
Jin Ziyin snatched the silver notes from the maid and threw them all on the table. The maid gasped in surprise, heartbroken.
"Six thousand taels!"
Everyone took a deep breath.
Lin Yan feigned surprise, her expression changing drastically, and exclaimed, "What? You're actually offering six thousand taels?! You're offering double the price for the glass mirror! Are you crazy?!"
Jin Ziyin raised her head and sneered, "What? You're broke? Then get lost!"
Lin Yan lowered her eyes, lowered her head, and her imposing aura suddenly weakened.
Jin Ziyin's lips curled up, pressing her advantage, "I'm determined to have this batch of glass mirrors! If you can't afford them, just beg me, and maybe I can kindly share one with you! Hahaha!"
Lin Yan lowered her head and remained silent for a long while before saying, "Miss Jin is indeed wealthy! It's all my fault, how could I be worthy to compete with you! You're actually willing to pay twice the price for the glass mirror, so generous, I really can't compare!"
Then he looked at the shop owner and said, "Boss, you should sell it to Miss Jin! She offered a higher price. I lost! I shouldn't have argued with Miss Jin!"
The boss straightened up, nodded, and said, "It's good that you know you made a mistake!"
Lin Yu: "(?_?) I don't believe you for a second!..."
Quan Sinian: “(′?w?`)”
Quan Wenxue: "What is this?"
Lin Yan continued, "Miss Jin, you're so rich and beautiful! And so generous! It must be so wonderful to be your friend. Those who receive gifts must be so happy!"
Jin Ziyin glanced at her, and seeing that this person had been defeated, she felt a little better and sneered, "Hmph, of course!"
The maid, Xiao Tan, relying on her master's power, said arrogantly, "You know that's good! There's nothing our young lady can't get."
Zhang Linwan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Jin Ziyin spend six thousand taels to buy a glass mirror.
"Sister is really generous to spend so much money on a glass mirror. Since you've done this, no one can say anything, right?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. One was from the commander's family, and the other from the prefect's family; neither of them could be offended.
Besides, they paid twice the price to buy it, what can they say?
Jin Ziyin glared at Zhang Linwan resentfully and said, "Xiao Tan! Pack up! Let's go home!"
She came out today intending to buy some other things, but now that she's spent all her money, she doesn't need to buy anything anymore. She said this in front of so many people, she can't go back on her word!
Zhang Linwan laughed heartily, watching Jin Ziyin's departing figure, and chuckled softly, "Fool!"
After saying that, he turned and gave Lin Yan a meaningful look, then said to the maid beside him, "The show's over, let's go!"
With no more glass mirrors available, the crowd dispersed. Lin Yan sneered as she watched Jin Ziyin board the carriage and leave.
Lin Yu walked in and exclaimed, "Sister, I'm truly impressed! How can you act so well!"
Quan Sinian was also puzzled as to why Lin Yan had pulled this stunt. She hadn't even managed to snatch the glass mirror, and she had also offended Jin Ziyin.
Quan Wenxue asked with some concern, "Why did you suddenly get into a fight with her? What's going on, Ayan?"
Lin Yan smiled but didn't answer the two of them. She turned to the boss, grinning, "Hey, you have to give me half!"
The shopkeeper smiled and handed her four thousand taels of silver notes. "Here, this is Miss Lin's earnings. I was quite surprised when Miss Lin spoke."
Lin Yan raised an eyebrow. "You know me?"
The shopkeeper explained, "I don't know her, I don't know her, but the young master instructed me that I would know who the young lady is as soon as I see the jade pendant! Of course, I have to cooperate."
The siblings looked at each other, even more bewildered.
Lin Yan examined the silver note in her hand and laughed, "This money is so easy to earn! If she can keep spending, I can keep praising her!"
The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "Are you here in the city to buy something today, young lady? Take a look and see if there's anything you like. Feel free to take whatever you like!"
Lin Yan blinked: "Do you still have this glass mirror?"
"A glass mirror? Miss Lin doesn't have one? Isn't this the one you've been researching?" The shopkeeper was taken aback.
"Hiss?" The whole family of siblings took a deep breath. The glass mirror was actually researched by Lin Yan!
"It's true that I did the research, but it's not as nice as what you guys made! You guys are so good at decorating, it's really beautiful!"
The shopkeeper smiled knowingly, "Haha! This was specially designed by a craftsman to suit the tastes of distinguished guests. Don't worry, Miss Lin, I have more here!"
As the shopkeeper spoke, he brought out two more boxes from the back room, and when they were opened, they were indeed filled with glass mirrors.
"Although we only sell twenty, that's just for the customers. After all, if we sell too many, they won't be rare anymore, so we always keep a few on hand. If you want one, young lady, take it!"
Lin Yan looked at the dazzlingly luxurious glass mirror inside, decorated with gold and jade, and smiled with great satisfaction.
She picked up a box and handed it to Quan Wenxue, saying, "Wenxue, here you go! Do you like this?"
Quan Wenxue took the glass in a daze, opened it, and saw the brilliance in her eyes reflected in the sparkling glass inside.
"It's so beautiful! I love it, thank you, Ayan!"
Having acquired the glass mirror, not only did he not spend any money, but he also made a fortune.
Quan Sinian exclaimed in amazement, "I never imagined that this glass mirror was invented by Miss Lin."
As he said this, Quan Sinian's thoughts were in turmoil: Miss Lin had business dealings with merchants from Daye, and the Seventh Prince knew Miss Lin, which meant that the Seventh Prince had dealings with Daye! If the capital found out about this, wouldn't it be the end of them?
It seems the Seventh Prince isn't as low-key as he appears! The situation in the capital is probably not as clear as it seems.

Having received her favorite gift, Quan Wenxue excitedly pulled Lin Yan's arm as they walked down the street, instantly bringing the two of them much closer together.
Quan Sinian and Lin Yu followed behind. As they bought more and more things, Quan Sinian was no longer enough to carry them all by himself, so Lin Yu also became their bag carrier. The two of them were covered with packages.
Looking at the two people still shopping ahead of them, Lin Yu sighed, "Isn't that enough? Sister! We can't carry any more!"
Lin Yan glanced back at the two people who were almost completely buried in the packages and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "We've sold enough, let's head back now!"
Although I wanted to help put the things into the space, I couldn't do it in front of so many people. So I could only take some from Quan Wenxue's hands to help share the burden.
