Qiyun turned his head and asked the doorman, "What did Xia Gongzi say?" ”

"He asked Childe where he had gone and when he would come back, but I couldn't answer, so he said that when Childe came back, he told him that he had been there."

Qiyun said lightly: "I don't think he will have anything important, our son-in-law has been busy recently, so there is no need to tell Mr. Sù about this kind of trivial matter." ”

"Uh...... I know. The doorman hesitated for a moment, thinking that Gongzi has always kept a straight face recently, and he must have encountered something extremely annoying, so he will be bothered less if he can be bothered.

Qiyun nodded, walked to a Qionghua tree in front of the porch, and continued to prune the branches and leaves, but her mood at this time became very chaotic, she couldn't figure out what she was thinking, did she not want Gongzi to get too close to Xia Gongzi? Or do you think that Xia Gongzi offended Gongzi and didn't know it, and he would be hurt?

Xia Chen thought that it would be okay to go back, so he slowed down and looked from street to street, on the one hand, he wanted to familiarize himself with the terrain, and on the other hand, he wanted to find a few wine shops to see, and unconsciously came to the antique shop. Anyone who appreciates antiques usually has their own opinions, and it would be very beneficial to meet a few of them, so she decided to go in and have a look.

As soon as I entered the store, I saw two burly men discussing the price of something with the shopkeeper, and their accents did not look like that of the locals, and although they were wearing straight coats, they were wearing deerskin riding boots on their feet, and they were wearing belts around their waists, and long scimitars hung on their right sides.

Could it be that these two people are members of the Xuanguo Envoy Corps? According to Wei Han, more than 200 people in Xuanguo have arrived in Anyang, and these people like to wander around when they have nothing to do, which is very troublesome. Xia Chen understands this very well, after all, it is not easy to come to Anyang City. Anyang City is so beautiful and prosperous, it is common for people to want to see everywhere.

The shopkeeper's face looked very nervous, wiping the sweat on his forehead from time to time, and when he saw Xia Chen coming in, he beckoned like a savior: "Little boy, you came just in time, these two distinguished guests want to buy this purple jade pillow, but they are only willing to pay two hundred taels of silver." I said, I took this jade pillow and used two hundred and sixty taels. But they refused to raise the price. ”

Xia Chen said lightly: "The handover of the transaction is easy to pay attention to your love and my wishes, and no one will do a loss-making transaction, since the price is not negotiable, the shopkeeper will not sell it." "Xindao, why do these two people want to buy forcibly?

The shopkeeper said, "That's what I said. Can ......"

The two men turned their heads at the same time, one with thin cheeks and thin eyes, the other with round eyes and thick lips and broad nose, and both of them had a few wisps of beard that were not flowing.

They glanced at Xia Chen at the same time. At the same time, with a sneering expression, the man with a thin face spoke first: "I should be an expert." It's a little baby. His voice was shrill and a little harsh to hear.

The round-faced man smiled: "Haha, could it be that all the things sold in this store are children's toys?" His voice was so loud that it sounded like a series of thunder.

Xia Chen's eyebrows raised slightly. Slowly walked to the counter and glanced at the purple jade pillow, the jade pieces were even. The color and shade are matched just right, not to mention that the jade quality is presented at a glance. The workmanship is so fine, of course, it is a rare treasure.

"Shopkeeper, didn't I order this jade pillow last time I came, how can I transfer it to others?" She thought that in order to prevent these two people from buying this jade pillow, the shopkeeper must have found all the reasons.

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "I also said that someone ordered this, but these two distinguished guests don't believe it." ”

The round-faced man glared at the shopkeeper: "Why did someone order it and show it to us?" If you're either lying or trying to find a buyer with a higher bid, yes or no? ”

The shopkeeper said: "I saw that the two of them came from afar, so I took out this jade pillow for the two of them to enjoy, but I didn't want the two of them to have to buy it." ”

The thin-faced man reached out and pressed the round-faced man's arm, and said to the shopkeeper: "So you have a good intention, but now that we have taken a fancy to this thing, what do you say?" ”

"This ...... In this way, the two of them might as well discuss with this little boy to see if he is willing to transfer. The shopkeeper said with a smile.

The long-skinned man seemed to say to himself, "That's a good idea." Then he raised his eyes and asked Xia Chen, "How much silver did you pay?" ”

Xia Chen glimpsed the shopkeeper making a "three" gesture, and pretended to be embarrassed: "Since it is a distinguished guest from afar, and I value this thing very much, I will give it to you, this jade pillow is worth three hundred taels, and I paid a deposit of ten taels before...... " She said here and looked at the shopkeeper: "The deposit will be returned to me after these two distinguished guests have paid." ”

"Oh...... Three hundred taels! The thin-faced man pulled a long voice, and his eyes scanned Xia Chen's body twice: "I don't know if you are carrying cash silver or silver tickets?" Three hundred taels is not a small amount, he saw that although Xia Chen was dressed well, it was not comparable to the noble sons he had seen in the past few days, and he had so much money on him at a young age but he didn't even bring a servant, it was strange, and he concluded that Xia Chen must have colluded with this shopkeeper to deceive them.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately sweated like rain. Xia Chen looked at the man with a slender face with a calm demeanor: "Since I am here to pick up the goods, I will bring enough silver." If you two think it's expensive, it's okay if you don't want it. As for how I pay, I don't bother Your Excellency. ”

The round-faced man said angrily, "You little doll, do you know who you're talking to?" We are Vice Marshal Wu's personal guards. ”

The thin-faced man said unhurriedly: "I have heard that the Central Plains people are cunning, how do I know if you two are deliberately playing tricks to raise the price." ”

Xia Chen shrugged his shoulders: "Each other, I heard that the people of Xuanguo are strong and domineering, but today I see it not at all, Your Excellency is not only reasonable, but also smart and cautious, admire and admire." She said this for tat with the thin-faced man, and satirized the two of them openly and secretly.

The two of them had no ink on their chests, and they couldn't react for a while what Xia Chen meant by this, and looked at each other in a daze.

The shopkeeper understood it, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and asked them again and again: "Two distinguished guests, little boy, I won't sell this jade pillow, I am willing to give ten taels of silver as compensation, I just ask you not to hurt the harmony because of this." "There are many merchants in the city who have suffered losses, but they dare not speak out, the court has an order, whoever offends the Xuanguo delegation will be killed, he has considered himself unlucky, and would rather break some wealth to avoid disasters.

Although the man with a thin face still didn't understand the deep meaning of Xia Chen's words, listening to Xia Chen's tone was by no means flattering, so he snatched the jade pillow that the shopkeeper wanted to put away, and at the same time took out the scimitar on his waist and pointed at Xia Chen and said: "If you can take out three hundred taels ......of silver, this thing will be yours, but if you can't take it out, he squinted: "I won't take this jade pillow without paying a penny, and I will teach you a lesson."
