Chapter 17 Fate has not yet arrived
When the owner of the coffin shop saw a big customer, his face was full of smiles, and he quickly nodded and said: "This uncle and the little boy have vision, and I can't hide it, this coffin has been stored in my shop for many years...... Later, someone over there came over and said that the father of this old man of the mansion still remembered this coffin before he died, and he couldn't see it! ”
"Alright. You just say how much money, where is there so much nonsense? ”
Xia Xueyi suddenly and unceremoniously interrupted the chatter of the coffin shop owner Wang Po selling melons.
The boss looked at Xia Xueyi, who suddenly had a cold face, and was taken aback, and quickly stopped talking, and said a little resignedly: "Since the uncle is sincere in asking for longevity for the elderly, I won't say much about it, this is all high-grade spruce wood, four heads and eight square eight sides of paint, you will reward me with forty taels of silver, which can be regarded as the fate of this thing." ”
Xia Xueyi didn't bargain either, and was about to reach out to touch it in her arms, when suddenly Ai Ye shouted, "Wait! ”
Xie Xiang was already stunned, Mom, a coffin costs forty taels of silver, and it is estimated that even if he sells others, he will not be able to make up forty taels of silver.
Xia Xueyi didn't even say a word?
This person is the ancient version of the local tyrant.
Seeing Xia Xueyi reaching out and taking it out of his arms, Xie Xiang was instantly very curious, forty taels of silver is not a light weight, looking at Xia Xueyi's long robe with a jade tree in the wind, I don't know how he kicked dozens of taels of silver in his arms.
Moreover, Xia Xueyi is not an official, a businessman, a worker, or a farmer, so why does he always have a lot of silver on him?
Thinking that He Hongyao took out a bag of jewelry from his arms very casually, thinking that people like them were all taken away and plundered all the way.
However, Ai Ye's cry made Xia Xueyi immediately put down the hand that had already touched her arms.
Xie Xiang was suddenly a little disappointed, and said in his heart This unlucky child, what is your name, I want to see how this local tyrant took out forty taels from his arms?
Anyway, Xia Xueyi's silver must have come from the wrong way, so I bought a good coffin for Grandpa Li, which can be regarded as offsetting some of Xia Xueyi's sins in causing Grandpa Li to die in the official prison.
"Ai Ye, don't you want to use this coffin for your grandfather?"
Xia Xueyi suddenly frowned, and looked at Ai Ye with some displeasure.
"I have money myself."
Ai Ye didn't answer Xia Xueyi's words, but hurriedly pulled out a shabby gray cloth tobacco bag from his chest clothes.
Then, Ai Ye tore off a thin rope tied to the tobacco bag and said to the owner of the coffin shop: "Boss, can you see, are these things enough for forty taels of silver?" ”
The owner of the coffin shop didn't know what valuable things the child was going to shake out at him, so he quickly stretched out his hands and continued, as Ai Ye shivered for a while, several adults were a little crying and laughing to see that more than thirty big coins rolled out of it first.
"Ai Ye, what are you messing around?"
Xie Xiang's voice did not fall, only listening to the coffin shop owner, "Huh? After a sigh, Xie Xiang and Xia Xueyi saw the hair needle of the night pearl, and the last thing that was shaken off by Ai Ye was a string of bright and round red fragrant jade bracelets.
And the most surprising thing is that at the moment when the string of bracelets was shaken off by Ai Ye, a fragrant fragrance suddenly came to the nose, Xie Xiang and Xia Xueyi couldn't help but suddenly realize, no wonder they suddenly felt that there was an indescribable fragrance on Ai Ye's body, it turned out that this thing was doing it?
Xia Xueyi and Xie Xiang glanced at each other, because they all thought of a question in unison: How did the collector of this red jade bead man be so deliberate? actually put this strange fragrant thing in an old tobacco bag, and used the strong smell of tobacco to cover up the aroma of warm jade.
The owner of the coffin shop had already widened his eyes, if it weren't for the fact that there were two other sons with extraordinary manners and outstanding appearances accompanying this child, he really couldn't believe that a small child would shake out such a valuable thing for him from a worn-out tobacco bag?
"Oh, little boy, you are really joking, although this coffin is worth a few silvers, but you don't dare to ask for these two things as small as any."
The owner of the coffin shop has always relied on craftsmanship to eat, and when he meets a customer who does not bargain with him, he is thankful, he will never dare to take money indiscriminately, not to mention that this child is followed by two extraordinary adults.
Even if he didn't know the goods, he estimated that these two things were worth two hundred taels of silver at the worst.
"Hehe, Ai Ye, you're really joking, scaring other people's bosses, aren't you? Where did you get these things? Hurry up and put it away, I'll pay for this coffin. ”
Xia Xueyi suddenly smiled.
"No, Childe, I must buy my grandfather's coffin, these things are all given to me by my son's brother, and the rest are left by my grandfather."
Ai Ye's little face was full of stubbornness, "I can only borrow Brother Gongzi's things temporarily, and I will definitely return them when I grow up, boss, my grandfather used to look at this coffin for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be here, please sell it to me." ”
A pleading appeared on Ai Ye's little face, obviously the child was still worried that these things were not enough for the coffin.
Xie Xiang hurriedly walked over, snatched the empty tobacco bag in Ai Ye's hand, put the coffin shop owner's hand into the bag, and put all the things that were poured out by Ai Ye into the bag, and said to Ai Ye: "Don't fight, these things of yours are too valuable, and people don't have broken silver to find you, do you understand?" ”
"Childe's brother ......"
Ai Ye looked at Xie Xiang blankly, Xie Xiang had already stuffed the tobacco bag into his hand: "Keep it well, this is the only thought your grandfather left you, how can you easily take it?" ”
Xia Xueyi had already taken out a gold ingot worth fifty taels of silver and put it in the hands of the coffin shop owner who was stunned: "No need to look for it, just ask someone to send this pair of longevity vessels to the corner of the mansion in a while." ”
The owner of the longevity shop already liked it and didn't know what to do, holding the gold ingot in his hand and eager to kowtow to Xia Xueyi a few times, and hurriedly agreed: "Hey, hey, thank you for the uncle's reward, don't worry, the little one can't be blessed by the uncle in vain, dare to ask the old man's sleeping shroud?" Do you want to send the small ones together? ”
Xie Xiang felt that the owner of the coffin shop holding a gold ingot given by Xia Xueyi in his hand almost regarded Xia Xueyi as a reborn parent.
He couldn't help but think a little indignantly, damn, no matter what era you are in, being rich is good, and if you are rich, everyone will treat you as a relative and be willing to be a servant for you!
Xia Xueyi said with a smile: "Well, don't say it, this is really not, or you think about it thoughtfully, okay, hurry up and do it, all of them will be sent to the government for a while to wait for an excuse, and I will naturally have a heavy reward." ”
The owner of the longevity shop said again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare, these are enough." ”
Xie Xiang also smiled: "Your boss is not a greedy and diligent person, so let's leave first." ”
……
Seeing Xia Xueyi, Xie Xiang and Ai Ye walk out of the store, the owner of the longevity store walked in with a smile on his face.
The lady who was drying his clothes heard her husband laughing all the way, shaking his clothes and not looking back, and said, "Did you pick up the gold ingots today?" Look at you stupid! ”
The owner of the longevity shop laughed and said, "It's not like I picked up a gold ingot, lady, come and take a look." ”
Where is the proprietor of the longevity shop willing to believe? While continuing to dry the clothes, he nagged without looking back: "You just make me poor and happy, until now I can't pay back the money I owe to those spruce trees, hey, sooner or later, we can meet the nobles, and get rid of the deadly longevity vessel, we can be relieved." ”
The owner of the longevity shop immediately put the gold ingot under the nose of his lady and smiled: "When did I coax you?" Let's see what this is? We finally met the nobles, and the good days were finally boiled by us. ”
Looking at the proprietress of the longevity shop again, the whole person seemed to be stunned: her eyes were wide, and she didn't know if a washed and wrung out dress in her hand fell to the ground "popped", stretched out her hands and shuddered to close the gold ingot in her husband's hand, and asked in disbelief: "Shopkeeper, ...... Where did this thing come from? Is this true? ”
The owner of the longevity shop saw that his lady seemed to be frightened by this sudden great happiness, and hurriedly nodded desperately and said: "I finally sold the thing, and I bought ten taels of silver more than before, and then, this noble man rewarded me more, lady, we can pay back all the money we owe to others, and we don't have to worry about not even being able to live a year of peace." ”
The lady of the coffin shop owner had already snatched the gold ingot from her husband's hand and looked at it again and again, as if she was afraid that it was an illusion.
Immediately, he laughed uncontrollably: "Shopkeeper, finally a noble person is willing to ask for something?" Are our hard times finally coming to an end? ”
The woman laughed and tears almost came down again, and quickly took the golden ingots into her arms, as if the gold ingots would suddenly give birth to a pair of wings and spread their wings and fly high.
Her man couldn't laugh or cry, and instructed her: "Yes, I said a long time ago, as long as it is a good thing, someone will always want it, and if it is not sold for a while, it is fate that has not arrived, now you see, we not only sold it for a good price, but also got so much reward, lady, you are so good to collect, the guests still have orders, I will go to find a few people to come over to help." ”
The woman already liked it and didn't know what to do, so she quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, you go and get busy, we have to serve such a nobleman, that ...... I heard that Lao Chen seems to be very reluctant to move recently, and he has hardly been seen coming out, and their grandmother is not happy, but what can I do? ”
