Shopkeeper Wu is the second shopkeeper of the Qian family, and he shows off his power on weekdays, even bigger than the two pomps of Qian Jin's father and son. He is Mrs. Qian's younger brother, and he always feels that he is a character, and he is the most arrogant on weekdays.

As soon as the doctor heard it, he knew that the shopkeeper Wu must not have recognized who the young man in front of him was, Chang Xile tore his clothes and looked very wolf, and with the scars on his face, he couldn't tell that he was the high-spirited prodigy at all.

"Shopkeeper Wu, this is Chang Xiucai."

When Shopkeeper Wu heard this, his eyes looked at Chang Xile unabashedly, and his words were gloating, "You are Chang Xiucai?" Look, I didn't have time to put on my eyeballs, and I didn't recognize you. Tsk, how did you become like this, no wonder my brother-in-law wants to get out of the marriage. ”

Chang Xile didn't get angry, but asked with a smile: "Listening to what Shopkeeper Wu said, isn't it because Boss Qian quit my marriage because I don't agree with Miss Qian?" But is there another reason? ”

Shopkeeper Wu secretly blamed himself for being too talkative, where did he dare to respond to this directly.

Although Chang Xile can't go further, he is also famous, and he is not a master who can be bullied casually. In the entire Daoxiang County, there are only dozens of people who have been admitted to Xiucai. And Chang Xile is still a student, you can be a guarantor, and the children who take the exam must find a guarantor to be a guarantor in order to take the exam.

If other Xiu only knew that their Qian family had retired from such a family affair because they didn't look down on Xiucai, these literati would be the most arrogant and would have looked down on the Shang family, so no one would be willing to be a guarantor. At that time, not only the Qian family, but also the entire clan of their Wu family will have to stare dryly. Business is always not in the stream, and no one in the court is just making wedding dresses for others, and the Qian and Wu families are actively cultivating people who can embark on the road of scientific research.

Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly squeezed out a smile, "I didn't say this, since everyone is an acquaintance, let's discuss this price." ”

Chang Xile raised his eyebrows and stretched out a finger, "A thousand yuan, I don't want one penny, and I won't sell one penny less." ”

"A thousand! Why don't you grab it?! Shopkeeper Wu jumped up directly.

"Since your money family can't take it out, forget it. Anyway, this big insect is rare, and I was reluctant to sell it. ”

Shopkeeper Wu snorted coldly, "Chang Xiucai, you are so famous, don't look like you have eyes open to money, and make people laugh." If you want me to say that you will accept it when you see it, you will not get the last penny saved. ”

Chang Xile smiled, "Shopkeeper Wu, do you know what is the most expensive in this world?" ”

"What?"

"It's human life, whether it's the people of Li or the nobles or even the current saints, who doesn't want to live a few more years? This big insect is a great tonic, and I can prolong my life by eating it, which is something that a thousand daughters can't buy. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't sell a thousand, even if it weren't for you. Speaking of which, this big insect hasn't been seen in Daoxiang County for many years, right? I can't even sell it, it's hard to buy this thing even if you have money. ”

Shopkeeper Wu is in a hurry, but he has made a guarantee with his brother-in-law that he will definitely handle this matter properly, if he can't do it, it will prove that he is useless. He was not good at doing things a while ago, and his brother-in-law is not a nose for him now, and his sister has talked to him several times in private.

The Qian family has now found a way, but the other party doesn't look down on money, so he likes rare things, and it was useless to send so many things before, until he sent a good horse a while ago. If you can send tiger whips and tiger bones now, then this road can be more secure.

"Chang Xiucai, you don't have to be reckless, what is your current situation, if you don't sell some money, I'm afraid you won't even be able to eat."

Chang Xile smiled meaningfully, "Di Sheng can receive six buckets of rice issued by the imperial court every month, how much can I eat as a scholar?" Does Shopkeeper Wu mean to mock the imperial court for giving us too little subsidies and treating us harshly? If so, thank you for your care, and I will definitely take credit for you if I have the opportunity. ”

"Where did I say such a thing, you don't have to climb around! Chang Xiucai, you can only take care of yourself, as a child, you always have to take care of your parents. ”

Shopkeeper Wu was speechless, it was not that he had never heard of this Chang Xile before, but he was evaluated as talented and intelligent but did not know how to do general affairs, and only knew how to read. I never thought that real people like nonsense so much, and big things can be brought to the topic of disrespect. Xiucai can talk nonsense, they can't do it, and the public will be punished for talking nonsense.

Chang Xile nodded seriously in agreement, "So I can't sell this big worm, I have to make up for it for my father." With so much meat, it can be eaten for a long time. Although this thing is fierce and vicious, it is full of treasures, thank you for the reminder of Shopkeeper Wu. ”

Shopkeeper Wu was so angry that he fell down, where is this a showman, he is clearly a second lai, but he can't rob like everyone else, he is depressed in his heart, and he said ruthlessly:

"Chang Xiucai, let's pay a fixed price, three hundred yuan! That's a lot of money! ”

Chang Xile didn't even look at him, "Doctor, how long will it take for this child to wake up?" ”

The doctor said, "I just gave him a needle, and I guess there will be half an hour left." ”

Chang Xile looked at the sun outside, he came out early in the morning, and now it was past noon, they had to rush back before dark, it was too dangerous to pass through the mountains and forests to rush the night. In this way, he doesn't have much time to go out and hang out, and I'm afraid he won't be able to do anything this time.

Shopkeeper Wu saw Chang Xile's attitude, and there was really no way, if Chang Xile had a little heart, he would be easy to do, but he was afraid that he would not be able to look down on the money, and he would not be able to come hard! It seems that he heard that his brother-in-law suffered a loss at the hands of Chang Xile before, but he still doesn't believe it, and his brother-in-law doesn't mention it, but now it seems that it is really possible.

But this tiger is bound to win, and it will be difficult to miss this opportunity, this thing is rare and uncommon, and there are many people who want to grab it.

"Chang Xiucai, Fang is my rudeness, but a thousand yuan is really outrageous, if this tiger skin is not injured, this tiger skin has been made like this, it is not worth much. I ask for it sincerely, you give a real price, and I promise not to make a counteroffer. Shopkeeper Wu's attitude softened.

Chang Xi was happy to see that Shopkeeper Wu was no longer arrogant, so he raised his eyes and spoke to him seriously, "If Shopkeeper Wu is sincere and wants to buy, I am soft-hearted, and I will sell it when I see that you are pitiful." But you were insincere before, so I don't think there's any need to talk about it anymore. Since you insist on it now, it is not impossible to sell it to you, but you can't give it to you. ”

Shopkeeper Wu almost didn't jump up, these things are gone, what else is he buying!

"Chang Xiucai, don't be kidding, what am I doing with it without this?"

"Shopkeeper Wu is one step late, I've already sold those things to someone else. I am a man of merit and fame, and my words count. ”

Chang Xile held back a smile when he said this, and now 'I am a person with merit and fame' has become his mantra, although he is embarrassed to say too much, but the effect is still quite good.

Shopkeeper Wu frowned, "Who did you sell it to?" ”

Chang Xile cast his eyes on the doctor on the side without leaving a trace, and the doctor immediately understood, he knew that if he was afraid of the shopkeeper Wu and didn't dare to admit it, he wouldn't dare to take it out in the future. After thinking about the pros and cons, he gritted his teeth and walked forward and arched his hand: "I am not talented, I am one step faster than the shopkeeper Wu." ”

Shopkeeper Wu squinted, "Doctor, is this trying to rob me?" ”

The doctor said: "I don't dare, it's just that it's on a first-come, first-served basis, and it's my luck that is better." Coincidentally, the county magistrate's legs and feet are not good, and my prescription is poor for tiger bones, but now it is ready. ”

The doctor is also a good person, and deliberately pulled out the county master.

Shopkeeper Wu was not happy now, "You guys were playing me just now?!" Why don't you say it if it's sold early! ”

Chang Xile said: "You didn't ask, besides, I didn't sell it all, and Shopkeeper Wu can still wrap the rest." ”

"When I'm stupid!"

"Shopkeeper Wu's words are wrong, and the tiger bone doctor can't take them all, there are always some leftovers. Besides, since the internal organs of the big worm are so useful, and the meat is not bad, if you make a feast for the whole tiger, it will be very glorious to say it. ”

Although Chang Xile was not angry with the shopkeeper Wu and the Qian family behind him, he didn't want them to be happy. But he didn't want to block the road, he was really going to offend him, which was not a good thing for him and Taoyuan Village at present.

Shopkeeper Wu was a little moved when he heard this, not to mention how tiger meat tasted, but it was very attractive to hear this name.

"Without a tiger whip and tiger guts, what is it called a full tiger feast?"

Chang Xile pondered for a long time, revealing a look of forbearance and love, "If Shopkeeper Wu insists on it, I can give it up painfully, but the price can't be as insincere as Shopkeeper Wu." ”

Shopkeeper Wu can't do it now, the other party obviously likes to sell or not, so he can only say ruthlessly: "Five hundred!" Couldn't be more. ”

Chang Xile deserved it simply, "Deal, but the copper coin is too heavy to panic, you can give me five hundred lines of silver." ”

Shopkeeper Wu wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but he almost choked up when he heard the latter sentence.

The price of silver is fluctuating, generally speaking, one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for a thousand pieces of copper coins, sometimes more and sometimes less, and now one or two lines of silver can be exchanged for 1,200 dollars, so he will have more than 1,000 pieces of silver when he counts five hundred lines of silver, which is actually six hundred dollars.

"Chang Xiucai, you can also do business! I raised a hundred dollars at once! ”

Chang Xile waved his fingers, "This is not true, now the silver can be exchanged for more copper coins than before, but if you think about it like this, you can't move this money, and after a while, the price will fall and it will be less than five hundred yuan?" You gave me the silver tattoo at that time, so not only did it not improve, but it was less than five hundred! You've earned it! ”

Shopkeeper Wu couldn't understand, "Why did it become that I earned it?" ”

"The value of five hundred taels of silver does not depend on your will, when you can exchange these two for one thousand two hundred Wen, it is more, and when you can exchange one or two for eight hundred Wen, it is less, you only think that these five hundred taels can only be exchanged for eight hundred Wen money, and if you give it to me, it will be earned?"

"Wait...... The more I listened, the more confused I became. "Shopkeeper Wu's brain is a little overwhelmed.

Chang Xile looked like a master, and sighed: "So the sage is wise to read and open, otherwise he will live in chaos and enter the world in vain." It's sad and lamentable, I don't understand such a simple truth. Hey, the world is full of fools, and there is great misfortune. ”

After finishing speaking, he also memorized a bunch of awkward and difficult things, which seemed like a book from heaven to the shopkeeper Wu who didn't know a few big characters.

Shopkeeper Wu's brain hurt a little, he hated these things since he was a child, in order to show that he was not a fool, he hurriedly stopped: "Okay, okay, five hundred taels of silver is five hundred taels of silver, okay, you can't change it anymore!" ”

Chang Xile showed a satisfied smile, "Then let's sign the contract." ”

Shopkeeper Wu was very impatient and said, "Why are you so verbose!" Delivering the goods in one hand and paying the money in the other, how easy it is, why bother so much. ”

"This is not true, there is a book in the law, and the transaction should be a contract, and we must do things according to the rules."

Shopkeeper Wu naturally doesn't understand the law, but when he has a large business, he does have to sign a contract, although he feels very troublesome, he also signs it with Chang Xile. But at this time, there was no confusion, and there was no problem after letting the next person see it, so I signed it.

The shopkeeper Wu was very efficient in case he had a lot of dreams at night, and he let Chang Xile get five hundred taels of silver after a while. And the doctor also used fifty yuan and free treatment for the comatose boy to get a bunch of tiger bones, although it is inevitable to be disappointed without the tiger whip, it may not be easy to get tiger bones, and the price is very fair, he is very satisfied.

"Hey, it's still convenient for paper money."

Chang Xile looked at the pile of silver and copper coins that were not light, and looked at the small body of the little boy who had been holding his hand, and couldn't help but worry about how could he protect the money for such a small child? The matter of the tiger has long been rumored, and the value of this thing is there, since everyone knows that he has won a sum of money from the sale, it will be a crime at that time.

And at this time, the little boy woke up.
