Chapter 4: The Silver

Meng Shaoguang went out for a turn, and for three full days after he came back, he received the gift softly. Holding the gift list given by the prince and nobles of King Jing in his hand, Meng Shaoguang smiled from ear to ear.

Although King An's Mansion and the emperor are on the same page, everyone in the court knows that if the emperor doesn't want to lose both, he will never dare to touch King An's Mansion in the slightest. The courtyard of King An's Mansion made all the ministers flock to it. You can not be friendly with King An's Mansion, but this gift can't be given unsitively, and it can't be given lightly. You always have to get by in terms of face, and this official will naturally last a long time.

Meng Boyan couldn't help but laugh when he watched Meng Shaoguang staring at the gift list with a smile on his face. The heart said that it was really small, look at the fun.

"Uncle Yan, take the gifts in a box and take them away, let's go to Hua'an for a walk."

Meng Boyan was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth to say: "Miss, this is a ...... for the front foot, and you will sell the back foot, this is not appropriate."

"Why don't I send someone to do it?" If you want to sell it, you have to come secretly.

"No, I'll go myself." and the largest pawnshop in the capital, the fifth industry, Meng Shaoguang naturally wanted to explore it in person. In the future, there will always be a place for this silver.

I didn't know that the fifth eldest young master who was targeted by Meng Shaoguang touched his itchy nose, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

The gifts alone filled seven or eight chests, and two wagons could barely fit them.

Meng Shaoguang rode through the city in the carriage of King An's Mansion and walked around the capital, for fear that others would not know that she had come out, and after making sure that she showed her face, he ordered people to stop in Hua'an.

Hua Andang's shopkeeper carefully welcomed Meng Shaoguang in, served good tea and entertained him personally. Wipe your sweat while serving carefully. He has been a shopkeeper for so many years, and he has never seen a master come to the door in person to do things, let alone the eldest lady of King An's Mansion who is now in the limelight. It's probably going to be a bad deal.

I have to say, the truth of the shopkeeper.

After the eight boxes of things were brought in, the people from King An's Mansion and Hua Andang's guys, the spacious lobby seemed a little crowded.

"Miss, do you want to deserve this?" The shopkeeper silently counted the cash of the pawnshop, and suddenly felt that he couldn't afford this big deal......

Meng Shaoguang raised his eyes to look at the shopkeeper with a little smile in his eyes.

Knowing that King An's Mansion did not deal with the emperor, he called Meng Shaoguang the eldest lady, not the county lord of Anping, who was given the title by the emperor, he really deserved to be a person from the fifth family, and he knew the current affairs enough.

"Of course, these are all sent by acquaintances, and they can't be placed at home, so it's better to exchange them for silver. Miss Ben is very short of money now. Meng Shaoguang took a sip of tea and said casually, "The shopkeeper can just look at it, don't be polite." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he almost cried. In the past few days, the gifts to King An's Mansion are all immense, for fear that others will not know, which one is an ordinary person? Your acquaintances are all royal relatives and nobles, who dares to be polite. also named himself and said that he was very short of money, isn't this girl clearly blackmailing?! I also looked at it, if he gave it cheaply, wouldn't it mean that the things that the royal relatives and nobles gave you were worthless, and this time the whole court was offended!

It's really cheap and good! It's so shameless!

Meng Boyan finally knew why Meng Shaoguang came in person, judging from this situation, it was definitely a rhythm to make a lot of money!

The shopkeeper stroked his beard silently, glanced at the second floor, and said in his heart, Master, what can you do about this, you have to lose if you collect a little, but you don't offend the Anwang Mansion, and you offend people if you charge the price too much, it's really a dilemma.

Meng Shaoguang motioned to his subordinates to open the box, looked at the things inside, raised his eyes slightly and looked at the shopkeeper with a smile: "This is a bracelet sent by the Ministry of War, saying that it is a good emerald, and the color is good, Miss Ben doesn't love these, so she packed it up and brought it with me; the carved jade screen given by Lord Qin of the Imperial History; the blood jade glazed cup supervised by the Shaofu; the mandarin duck buckle of the Ministry of Rites; the white jade jade pillow given by the prince's mansion; blue and white porcelain from the Tiancheng period of the Four Princes' Mansion; The Weiguo Mansion has a heart, and the gifts are all medicinal materials, thousand-year-old ginseng, hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum or something, all of which are things that can be met but not sought. The queen mother is also polite, and the picture of flying flowers and geese sent, Lin Taizhen's authentic handiwork, is hard to find. If it weren't for the lack of silver, Miss Ben would have been reluctant to do so. ”

Meng Shaoguang sighed when he said this, and Mo said that the tone was also very regretful, and the expression of regret was also very in place, which made the shopkeeper's head break out in a cold sweat.

Meng Boyan bowed his head silently, and said in his heart that Miss was too capable of talking. Talking about how precious things are, who gave them away, does the shopkeeper dare to give less? ! Over and over again, he talked about the lack of silver, reluctantly, and explicitly hinted that he would give more, and the more the better. also looked heartbroken. Meng Boyan blinked, Miss wasn't like this before, how much should it be, there are not so many flowers, I don't care to play with people, but now I can't count the number of eyes, I dug a pit for you to jump, and I had to jump knowing that it was a pit. It's really ...... High!

Meng Boyan was simply willing to bow down, pursed his lips and thought to himself: Miss is right, the Annan Army is short of money, especially short! If the silver can be pitted, then it will be pitted, anyway, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

Meng Shaoguang took a sip of tea and looked at the shopkeeper with a smile, and asked: "Does the shopkeeper mean to say one by one, or ......?"

The fifth young master on the second floor raised his eyebrows, picked up the teacup and drank lightly - this pit was dug really deep.

The shopkeeper's expression turned grim when he heard this, and he said solemnly: "How can the eldest lady come to me in person to settle one by one, it is better to be together." ”

Meng Shaoguang nodded yes, "Then the price ......?"

The shopkeeper's gaze swept over the open box of things, gritted his teeth, and said, "Five million." "Eight boxes of five million, you won't lose if you sell it out.

Meng Shaoguang put down the teacup, glanced at the box, and shook his head. "Five Million Committed ......"

The shopkeeper's heart lifted, if someone else took it at most three million, this would be two million more, and he had never done business like this in his life. Isn't it too little?

When I arrived at the pawnshop, no matter how expensive the things were, they were all sold cheaply, but with the background of King An's Mansion and the person who delivered the things, the shopkeeper was so neat, but I didn't want Meng Shaoguang to be very satisfied.

"The eldest lady also knows that we are also in business, this ......"

"The shopkeeper misunderstood. I mean, five million is too much, so it's better to be four million. For the Nan'an Army, it makes no difference. Meng Shaoguang's smiling eyes were a little bitter, and he retreated in the blink of an eye, looking at the shopkeeper with a sincere face.

Meng Boyan looked at the gleam that flashed in Meng Shaoguang's eyes, and looked at the shopkeeper with a look full of pity.

What do you think my young lady is?! How naΓ―ve!

The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard this, and he wanted to slap himself when he saw Meng Shaoguang's appearance. Who has never heard of the prestige of the Nan'an Army, and now that the eldest lady is raising military funds for the Nan'an Army, he is still bargaining here, which is really undeserved!

The shopkeeper stood up after thinking about it, respectfully gave Meng Shaoguang a salute, and then spoke: "It's Ding who is narrow-minded, if the eldest lady can afford it, five million will be decided." The tone was very firm, as if Meng Shaoguang really looked down on him if he bargained again.

Seeing this, Meng Shaoguang also stood up, clasped his hands into fists and saluted the shopkeeper, his expression was very moving: "Shaoguang thanked the shopkeeper Ding for the Nan'an soldiers!" Then it's decided that it's five million per box! ”

When the shopkeeper Ding saw the eldest lady of King An's Mansion and the major general of the Nan'an Army saluting him, his heart was excited! I didn't have time to think about it, and I said excitedly: "It's decided!" ”

The fifth young master on the second floor suddenly had black lines on his face, you can jump when people dig pits, can you be more stupid when you are in charge?
