Lin Xi turned around, his face was red, and the passers-by behind him glanced at him, and quickly walked into a small shop.

The shop is very small, there is not even a signboard, an old man in a green robe saw someone, and he didn't get up, he took out an inkstone from the counter and handed it to Lin Xi: "Here, I helped you find something, you can see it yourself!" If you are satisfied, you will pay the money. ”

Lin Xi carefully looked at the square inkstone in his hand, put it in his hand, sighed at the inkstone, wiped it with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a good thing, white shopkeeper, how much silver!" ”

"Six hundred taels, not a single one is missing!"

"White shopkeeper, do you want it to be so expensive?" Lin Xi counted the silver in her arms and said with a smile.

"Miss Lin is also a person who knows the goods, and she doesn't look at what kind of carving, color, or stone this is, if you don't want it, give it back to me."

"Don't, don't, don't, Bai Shopkeeper, Bai Lao, Bai Grandpa, I won't just talk about it, as for anger." Lynsey Baby held the thing in her arms and smiled flatteringly.

"I came out today, I left in a hurry, and I brought five hundred taels of silver with me, Bai Lao, you see?"

"Come on, take it first, and go back and make up for it!" The white shopkeeper looked at Lin Xi's face through the thick lenses, and a cloud of cold air came out of his mouth.

"Wait, shopkeeper, I'll pay 1,000 taels for this inkstone, you sell it to me!"

I rub, where did this come from, dare to rob my aunt and grandmother of my things.

Lin Xi was furious in his heart, tilted his head, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

He was eighteen or nineteen years old, tall, with good facial features, a dark complexion, deep eyes, and dark and thick eyebrows. There is nothing special about an ordinary robe.

It was the man who had just walked behind Lynsey and sneered.

Lin Xi knew that her expression must be very funny at this time, because she clearly saw a smile on the corner of the big man's mouth. Thinking of the two steps he took in a comical manner just before entering the shop, Lin Xi decided to salute first and then soldier.

"I'm sorry, this son, this inkstone is the ...... I have already bought"

"Haven't paid yet!".

"Oh, I was about to pay for it!" Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said.

"You don't have enough money!" The big man smiled faintly.

My grandfather, you are a grandfather, what do you do if you don't have enough money? You clairvoyance, the ears are also better, beware of long needle eyes, ear sores.

Lin Xi greeted the visitor a few times fiercely in his heart, took a deep breath, pursed his lips and smiled: "The shopkeeper should go!" ”

"That's because no one is paying a high price!"

"You!"

Lin Xi was speechless, his chest rose and fell twice, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The so-called gentleman does not take the favor of others." The son is good-looking, and at first glance he is either rich or expensive, so why bother to grab a small inkstone with me. ”

"I like it!"

Lin Xi saw that the person who came was soft and hard, and almost vomited a mouthful of blood, so he laughed dryly: "White shopkeeper, what do you say?" ”

The white shopkeeper lifted his glasses and said with a smile: "Naturally, it's a first-come, first-served, I'm ...... white."

"White shopkeeper, I can't hide it, I take a fancy to this inkstone at a glance, and I am willing to pay 1,500 taels! A person who is in the business of a white shopkeeper should know how to make trade-offs. ”

Lin Xi gasped, the reserve price of six hundred taels, this big guy was actually willing to pay one thousand five hundred taels, a whole nine hundred taels higher. She was keenly aware that the corner of the white shopkeeper's mouth twitched.

For a while, the small paper and ink shop was silent.

The white shopkeeper took a sip of tea, "um", and hesitated: "This ......"

This "um" made Lin Xi regret going out today and didn't look at the imperial calendar carefully. The shape of the current shì is obviously that the white shopkeeper has moved his mind, not to mention that she has not paid a deposit for this inkstone. As the so-called high price gets, she can't complain about anyone.

Lin Xi lowered his eyelids, and the corners of his mouth moved, but he was smiling: "White shopkeeper, although you allow me to go first, but the person who is a businessman is the first to be sharp." It's a pity not to do such a big deal. However, the righteousness of a businessman lies in a letter word, and the white shopkeeper must be in a dilemma! ”

The white shopkeeper's slightly white beard curled, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin is considerate!" ”

"In this way, the easiest way is to write a number, bet on odds and evens, and hit the final word, all by luck. I don't know if this son is willing or not? ”

The big man's eyes burst into light, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Good idea, I get it, I lose it." I bet! ”

Lin Xi thought it would take a lot of speech, but he didn't know that the big headache was happy, he was stunned, and said with a smile: "Childe is really refreshing." Money shopkeeper, you write! ”

Seeing her yellowish face, the big man came up with the fairest way in an instant, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and after taking a deep look, he turned his back.

Lin Xi walked to the side of the big man, and saw that he was only under her squeaky nest, and couldn't help but look at him with disgust, what are you doing when you are so tall, and you don't want to be in the sky!

The white shopkeeper picked up the pen and wrote the number on the rice paper casually: "Please guess!" ”

Lin Xi said generously: "Son, please first!" ”

"The girl comes first, and the girl is invited first!"

The big man was a little moved to see that although she was young, she acted frankly. It is extremely rude to take advantage of the danger of others to win the love of others, and if you choose first, wouldn't it make people criticize.

Lin Xi said in his heart, what I was waiting for was your words.

She blinked her eyes and smiled: "Childe is humble, I'll guess first." I'm a bet! ”

The two of them turned around, but saw the white shopkeeper smiling with constipation on his face and said, "I'm sorry, I wrote double." ”

How can it be a double? Lin Xi's heart was annoyed, and his eyes suddenly lost their brightness.

Seeing her so depressed, the big man felt slightly uneasy, and said comfortingly: "It is not a gentleman's work to take the girl's love, but the eldest brother Su Xi Duanyan, after visiting for many days, found this ink fragrance shop, and will leave the capital in a few days." It is really helpless to act like this. Thank you, girl, for agreeing. ”

Everyone in the world knows that the best inkstone in the world is only in the ink fragrance shop in Xin Kingdom, but very few people know that the ink fragrance shop is hidden in such an inconspicuous alley, and there is not even a signboard on the façade. If he hadn't asked around, I'm afraid he would have missed it.

Lin Xi endured the reluctance in his heart, hung his head and said: "Hey, it seems that this thing has nothing to do with me, I am willing to gamble and lose, you can take it!" ”

Even though Lin Xi said this, he looked at the inkstone with partial eyes and reluctantly, like a child watching others eat candy and drooling himself, which was very funny.

The big man hugged her fist, took the inkstone, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your generosity, I will say goodbye!" ”

Lynsey wanted to say to him, "Go slowly, don't send!" But he found that although this person was tall and fierce, he looked good when he smiled, and his teeth were white, so he endured his displeasure and said angrily: "Son, please!" ”

The tiger's mouth was pulled out, and he was polite to ask first, as soon as these words came out, Lin Xi admired his demeanor.

She watched the big man walk out of the shop with an inkstone, and finally couldn't help but change her face, walked to the white shopkeeper, and looked at him fixedly, as if complaining, like angry, and proud.

The white shopkeeper took off his glasses and met Lin Xi's gaze, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

Enough of laughing, the white shopkeeper grinned four yellowish front teeth and said with a smile: "It's really yours!" ”

Lynsey smiled silently, and only stretched her hand forward.

"How do you know if this object is a pair?"

Lin Xi smiled proudly: "The bottom is embroidered with a dragon pattern, and naturally there will be a phoenix pattern, not to mention that the shape of the inkstone is only half of the word Fu, the white shopkeeper, am I right?" ”

The white shopkeeper was in a good mood and said with a smile: "You girl, you only buy one a year, you can actually see so many ways, in a few years, I'm afraid that even I won't be able to frame you." ”

"How's the play?"

"Confuse the real with the fake. But how do you know I'm going to write even numbers? ”

"White shopkeeper, think about it, over the years, when has the inkstone you sold me had an odd number?"

The white shopkeeper squinted his eyes, nodded appreciatively and smiled: "Lao Bai, I have never seen a girl who is more thief than you in all these years." Let's go, let's go, let's take this phoenix-patterned inkstone, and I won't accept any of them. ”

Lin Xi stepped forward, took the abacus on the counter, and snapped with a white hand: "Once you have a business, excluding the cost, you have earned at least four hundred taels of silver, and you have not suffered a loss, I am not polite to accept this phoenix inkstone." Next year, the old rules. ”

The white shopkeeper took out the inkstone from the counter, held it in his hand, and said with a faint smile: "Miss Lin, you said that you are a maid, where did you get the money to buy such an expensive inkstone, who did you give it to, it won't be a young master from Gaofu, right?" ”
