Chapter 21: The Honest Old Man

"Are you there?" Yu Qiao thought for a while and asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"My aunt is not here, my grandfather is here, but my lord is sitting next to me and doesn't say anything." Yu Fenghao said with some disappointment in his tone.

Yu Qiao nodded and didn't continue to ask.

It seems that Old Man Yu also hopes that Bi can stabilize Yu Chongtian, and he is afraid that Yu Huacao and Bi's actions that day will hurt Yu Chongtian and Yu Fenghao's hearts, and I am afraid that there will be an estrangement with them in the future, and they will no longer have one heart.

How many of them are there? Is it optional?

Yu Qiao's heart was cold, and he couldn't help sneering.

Yu Fenghao inadvertently heard her sneer, and when he saw her mocking expression in a blink of an eye, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and said with relief: "Qiao'er, don't worry, when I grow up, I will protect my mother, you and Xi'er, and I will never teach you to be bullied by others." ”

"Hmm" Yu Qiao felt better when he heard this, and looked at him and nodded heavily.

After a cup of tea, Yu Qiao and the others planted all the wild flowers and drove onto the road. As soon as Yu Qiao looked up coldly, she saw Yu Xi limping in the thick dust behind the car, she and Yu Qin were shocked, and hurriedly shouted in unison: "Stop, stop, stop." ”

Hearing them shouting anxiously behind, Yu Qingnan and Yu Fenghao, who didn't know what was going on, thought something was wrong, and quickly pulled the reins and stopped the ox cart steadily. When they turned around and saw that it was Yu Xi chasing after them, the center was also shocked.

"Why did you chase after you?" Yu Qiao and Yu Qin jumped out of the car, hugged Yu Xi's arms, and put her in the car.

"My leg doesn't hurt anymore, but it's a little lame and out of the way. I just want to go with you, don't send me back. Yu Xi looked at Yu Qiao with begging eyes.

Yu Qiao and others had no choice but to agree.

When they arrived in the town, they drove the ox cart to the place where the flowers had been sold last time, and then placed the flowers neatly on the ground.

Since there was plenty of time to prepare this time, at the suggestion of Yu Qiao, they scattered clusters of wildflowers and planted a small pot of flowers. Therefore, in each small brown pot, the flowers and branches and leaves appear so slender and scattered, bright and moving, as if they have been born from wild flowers into delicate and small potted plants.

Unlike last time, there were a lot of flower branches planted in each pot, and it looked very large. Although it has been built, it looks lush and tidy, but it is not as delicate as it is.

Although there are fewer flowers, it takes more time and thought, but Yu Qiao still set the price lower, and they agreed that the strategy of small profits and quick sales can be more long-lasting.

It didn't take long for these small and delicate potted plants to attract many adults and children who came to buy groceries and go shopping.

However, they all looked at it as strange and had no intention of buying it, and they walked away after a while.

Yu Qiao and the others were working while shouting to themselves, and they shouted louder and more vigorously than they had been on the first day.

I didn't want to be the first to patronize them, but it was the proprietress of the 'Shen's Rouge Shop' at the back.

The proprietress is over forty years old, wearing a dark red dress, her cheeks are pink, her two thin lips are also painted bright red, and her slightly exaggerated makeup can be seen by the three overseas Chinese brothers and sisters, and the two Yu Qingnan brothers and sisters secretly swallow spit.

"How do you sell this impatiens?" The proprietress looked at the potted plants on the ground for a moment, looked up and smiled, not disdainful of the fact that they were both half-grown children.

"This twenty-five." Yu Qiao stretched out his hand and compared the numbers of two and five. Because the impatiens flower branches are delicate and difficult to form, there are about five or six in this pot, and the price is higher than that of a single branch.

"Hmm" The proprietress nodded, picked up the potted plant and looked at it carefully left and right, and finally counted the copper plate from the money bag on her waist to pay.

"I saw that you were also setting up a stall in front of my store a few days ago, and I wanted to buy it at that time, but the price you shouted was too high, so I didn't give up. If you're lucky, the day before yesterday I had some new products in my store, and many new and old customers came to visit. When they go out, they see your fresh flowers, and they love them so much. The proprietress may be a little idle, and after bringing the potted plants into the store, she came out to talk to Yu Qiao's children.

"Then you didn't buy new goods today?" Yu Xi raised his little face and asked with wide eyes.

"Ouch, this little girl is really painful." When the proprietress saw Yu Xi, she immediately squatted down with a smile, and replied with a smile: "Where can I buy new goods every day, even if I have that money, others may not have new things for me." ”

"Oh," Yu Xi nodded as if he didn't understand.

The proprietress looked at Yu Xi's small appearance and liked it very much, so she held her little hand and asked her softly where she lived and who was in the house, leading her to talk funny.

Yu Xi has never recognized life, and when he saw that the proprietress was kind, he told the truth.

"Your flowers are well pruned and decorated, and with your potted plants in my shop, they have become much more elegant all of a sudden." The proprietress said again.

Yu Qiao listened to the conversation between the two, and then pulled Yu Fenghao, Yu Qingnan, and Yu Qin to the side, and said an idea that had just appeared in her mind.

"What's the boss's last name?" So Yu Qiao came over, squatted down, and joined the chat team between Shen and Yu Xi.

"My surname is Shen, you are Xi'er's sister, you sisters are really alike, just as cute." Boss Shen replied with a smile.

Maybe he has been in the business of women for many years, and Shen always has a smile on his face, giving people the feeling of being approachable and very easy to get along with. The strange feeling that Yu Qiao and the others felt when they saw her for the first time had been diluted by the smile she had been hanging on her face.

Yu Qiao is already a lot old, and now she is said to be cute, which makes her feel a little uncomfortable at that moment, and then she thinks that she is only seven years old now, and she is relieved.

"Your business looks so good." Yu Qiao looked at the door of the rouge shop where people went in or came out from time to time, and said sincerely.

"That is, my store has been open in the town for more than ten years, and there are old customers who have come from Linxian to buy it." Speaking of his own shop, Shen couldn't help but show pride.

"How do you sell this orchid?" As soon as the words fell, an old man with white hair and beard lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the coachman on the side hurriedly took out a small stool and put it under the car, and then a middle-aged attendant supported the old man to slowly step on the small stool and step on the ground.

The old man was about a little old, wearing a dark gray brocade robe, his back was a little bent, and his steps were quite steady.

Yu Qiao turned his head and saw that a customer was asking for a price, and he was an old man, so he hurriedly got up and said loudly: "Eighty Wen." ”

As soon as Shen heard her offer, her eyes immediately widened, and she looked at the pot of white orchids with unbelievable eyes, she didn't believe that this girl was shouting that the price was so expensive, and the old gentleman would buy it, but the next moment, something happened that made her jaw stunned.

"I'm not deaf, so loud!" The old man's two white eyebrows were raised, and his tone was obviously displeased. After complaining, he said sharply again: "You sell this flower so cheaply, it's a terrible thing!" I'll give you two taels of silver, and then find out the value of each flower and then come out to sell flowers, it's just embarrassing, and it's even more nonsense, nonsense! After saying that, he dropped the silver ingot the size of a fingernail, held the pot of orchids himself, turned around and got into the carriage again with the support of his entourage.

Yu Qiao, Yu Qin, Yu Xi and Yu Qingnan, who was fiddling with potted plants, Yu Fenghao was stunned, he never expected that someone not only did not bargain, but actually took the initiative to increase the price, and one plus is hundreds of times! Seeing the money, they automatically ignored the old man's angry reproach before leaving.

Yu Qiao, who came back to his senses first, looked at the old man's carriage and hurriedly put the two taels of silver into his arms.

She knew that some orchids were more expensive, but she didn't have any in-depth research on the varieties or anything, so she just set the price higher, and if someone made a counteroffer, she planned to sell it cheaper!

I really didn't expect to meet a sincere old man who knows flowers and does not deceive children!
