Chapter 44: Dumb Loss

"Just do what I tell you to do!" Shen Manqiu was confident, and then told everyone her plan in detail. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

They were all dumbfounded when they heard this, and they couldn't help but admire the eldest lady who had been struck by lightning, and they nodded their heads and went their own way.

After an hour or two, the huge Yuan, who had put on a little makeup, swaggered to the city to wander around, found the stall where Shen Manqiu looked at the jade pendant, and negotiated with the woman who sold the goods for ten taels of silver to buy a delicate and valuable jade bracelet.

The woman was glad to see that he had agreed, but when she saw that she had taken out her money bag and began to count the large pile of broken silver, her face gradually became unsightly.

After counting the huge yuan for a while, he was stunned to find that there were only more than eight taels, and he smiled awkwardly: "I'm really sorry, the silver is all kept by my wife, so I left some broken silver for me to use, and I want to buy her a jade bracelet to make her happy?" ”

The woman who sold the goods understood this very well, and just when she wanted to say that she could sell him these broken silver, she saw Xia Ziwen hurriedly running to Da Yuan's side, and shouted happily: "Brother-in-law, it turns out that you are here, I have finally found you!" ”

"You came just in time, I just wanted to buy a jade bracelet for the lady, do you have ten taels of silver there?" Seeing this, Da Da Yuan said happily.

Xia Ziwen shook his head with a smile and said, "Ah, who has nothing to do with this lot of silver?" ”

As he spoke, he handed over a bag and continued: "However, my sister is afraid that the silver taels on your body will not be enough when you come out this time, so let me hurry up and give you the bag." ”

Huge Yuan laughed and said: "It's still a lady who is knowledgeable and reasonable, and it's the best for me!" As he spoke, he took the bag and opened it, only to see a large ingot of silver and a letter from home.

He looked at the letter intently, smiled and nodded from time to time, and saw that at the end of the letter, "bring ten taels of silver for the purpose of money, and hope that he will return as soon as possible", and he proudly showed the letter to the woman who sold the goods.

"It seems that our husband and wife are really in the same heart, and the lady knows that I want to buy her jewelry, so she sent me silver!" Da Da Yuan laughed, slowly put away the large pile of broken silver, and then handed the big ingot of silver to the selling woman: "There are ten taels of silver here, now you can finally buy this jade bracelet!" ”

The price of this jade bracelet is worth four or five taels of silver, and it is precisely because the price of the woman who sells the goods is high that there will be very few people who buy her things, and she was originally going to use that large pile of broken silver to sell the jade bracelet to the fat man in front of her, after all, she still has a lot of money by selling it for more than eight taels, but when she heard him say this, she was even happier in her heart.

can earn more than a tael of silver for no reason, and it is not broken silver, who is not happy, let alone a very philistine woman. She happily took the silver ingot, weighed it, and it was actually eleven taels and five coins.

The woman who sold the goods saw that the fat man was talking affectionately with the uncle who had just arrived, and she didn't look at this side at all, and she couldn't help but turn her mind in her heart: maybe his wife made a mistake when she sent the letter, and she didn't have time to check it in a hurry, so the letter only said ten taels of silver, and the fat man didn't weigh it, so why not make a mistake and make his fraction? In this way, wouldn't you be able to earn more than one or two?

So, she hurriedly put away the silver ingot, fearing that the fat man would notice that something was wrong, so she handed him the jade bracelet and said, "Seeing that you husband and wife are so affectionate, this valuable jade bracelet will be sold to you!" ”

Huge Yuan nodded in thanks, took the jade bracelet and left happily with Xia Ziwen.

When the woman saw that they had gone away, she took out the ingot and held it in her hand, and she was glad in her heart.

After a while, Hou Kaisen looked at the two people who were leaving, came to the stall of the selling woman, and said carefully: "Shopkeeper, did those two people buy any jewelry from you?" ”

The woman put away the silver ingot and said hesitantly, "So what? Isn't it? ”

I heard Hou Kaisen say with a smile: "Shopkeeper, you haven't been deceived, have you?" The fat man was a notoriously big liar, and often used fake money. When I saw him coming to buy something, I was secretly worried about you, but because the fat man was in front of me, I didn't dare to come and tell you. ”

The woman was astonished when she heard this, and quickly cut the silver with scissors, and found that the silver was only covered with a layer of silver on the surface, and it was full of lead, and her lungs were about to be blown up.

Unexpectedly, this business, not only did she not earn a penny, but she also lost four or five taels of silver, over the years, she has never suffered such a dumb loss, how can she swallow this breath.

Looking at Hou Kaisen, who was about to leave, she hurriedly asked, "Since you know that the fat man is a liar, do you think you know his origin?" ”

Hou Kaisen hesitated for a moment before he nodded and said, "The place where the fat man lives is about ten miles away from here, and it may be too late for you to chase him now." I am his neighbor, and if he knows that I have exposed the deception, he will make a feud with me. I tell you where he lives, and you go find him yourself. ”

At this time, where was the woman willing to let go of the last hope of returning the silver, she had to go with Hou Kaisen, and said: "You can take me there, and when you get there, you just tell me where his family lives, so the fat man doesn't know that you told me, how can he make a feud?" ”

Hou Kaisen still refused to go, and it was not until the woman who sold the goods gave him two taels of silver that he reluctantly agreed to lead the way.

The woman gave the stall to the other men to take care of it, and found four big men to walk with them.

They came to the west of the city ten miles away, and saw from a distance that Dang Yuan was sitting in a high-class mansion and drinking wine very comfortably, and two young women on the left and one on the right beside him were laughing and accompanied.

Hou Kaisen pointed inside and said, "Isn't that fat man, I heard that he has cheated a lot of money over the years, you go over and catch him, I'll go first." ”

As soon as the woman saw the state of this house, she knew that it was worth a lot of money, and thought to herself: The dead fat man dares to deceive his aunt and grandmother, and this time he will have to get it back with interest!

Who knows, as soon as they broke into the courtyard of the house in a rage, they were shrouded in a burst of yellow smoke, and several people only felt that it was dark in front of them, and then a large net fell from the sky, followed by a loose foot, and several people fell into the trap.
