Chapter Seventy-Two: Female Streamers?
As soon as he heard this, the shopkeeper was also stunned for a while.
Today, he met a rich master!
On weekdays, if he puts things here and sells them on consignment, he will take a commission of 10% at most.
For example, if it is sold for two hundred taels, he will take twenty taels.
But now he doesn't have to bother with anything, Chu Xuewei directly gave him fifty taels, where can he find such a good thing?
"Miss is really a noble person, since this is the case, then I thank Miss for the original owner of this hairpin." The shopkeeper said, smiled and accepted the silver ticket handed by Chu Xuewei, and at the same time beckoned the shopkeeper to put the hosta for Chu Xuewei.
Chu Xuewei accepted the hosta and left satisfied.
But what she didn't know was that not long after she left, a woman in a cotton and linen dress walked in.
She kept her head down, and her messy hair almost blocked half of her face, making it impossible to see her expression.
"Boss, if the things haven't been sold yet, can you lend me ...... first" The woman's hoarse voice revealed full of exhaustion.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw this woman, the expression that was smiling just now suddenly froze, he frowned, and said with a disgusted face: "Didn't I say that you would come back in a few days?" Why do you still come every day? What if it scares my guests? β
"Boss, I'm really penniless...... If that thing can't be sold anymore, then I won't sell it, you give it back to me, and I'll think of another way. The woman raised her head and looked at the shopkeeper with sadness and despair in her eyes.
The shopkeeper looked the woman up and down, and finally opened his mouth impatiently: "Forget it, I see that you are also a woman, even if I am unlucky today, I sold the hosta for you for twenty taels, and you will never come again in the future!" β
With that, the boss took out a piece of silver from his bosom and threw it in the direction of the woman.
There was a soft "bang", and the silver fell to the ground and rolled to the woman's feet.
The woman frowned, and did not bend down to pick up the two: "Boss, my hosta is worth two hundred taels anyway." I still have to rely on this money to support my children! In this way, I only need a hundred taels to be enough. If the boss is still unwilling, then I won't sell it, these twenty taels for you, you give me back the things! β
"Hey, are you crazy woman embarrassed? I'll give you twenty taels, you're too little? Well, I've changed my mind now, you won't get a single copper coin! The shopkeeper yelled angrily, waved his hand and scolded: "Xiao Er, come and kick this dirty crazy woman out for me!" β
"Yes!"
When a few shopkeepers heard this, they rushed up quickly, and they were about to rush out with the woman.
It's just that a few people haven't taken a step yet, and they suddenly feel a strange force behind them, and they are directly lifted.
Immediately afterward, several people rose into the air and fell heavily towards the shelves, smashing all the things on the shelves to the ground.
"Oops, oops, ......"
Everyone was dizzy and dizzy, and the shopkeeper was also frightened, and hurriedly raised his eyes to look over-
I saw a thin little girl clapping her hands lazily: "It seems that what my young lady said is really right, your store is a black shop!" β
The shopkeeper recognized this little girl at a glance as the little maid of the young lady who had made a generous move just now, but he didn't expect that she would come back just after leaving, and even had such an arrogant strange power on her body!
"You, you, you ......" At the moment, the shopkeeper was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly.
Hydrangea took a few steps forward angrily, and stepped on the shopkeeper's chest with one foot: "What about the silver ticket that my young lady gave you?" β
The boss didn't say a word, and the hydrangea foot was so hard that he almost trampled him out of breath.
"Give...... I give, I give! The shopkeeper hurriedly took out all the two hundred and fifty taels of silver that Chu Xuewei had just given.
Hydrangea snatched it up, and then stretched out another kick and kicked the shopkeeper away.
She turned around and walked in front of the woman: "Here you go, this is the silver ticket to buy your hairpin." β
The woman gave the hydrangea a fixed look, and reached out to take the silver ticket. After thinking about it for a while, he still took out one from the silver ticket and handed it to the hydrangea: "My hosta is only worth two hundred taels." β
After saying this, the woman took the silver ticket into her arms, and left in a hurry without saying thank you.
"Heyβ" Hydrangea was about to say something, when she noticed that the woman had disappeared neatly.
She scratched her head and left the antique shop with a puzzled expression.
Just around the corner in front, Chu Xuewei was sitting on the edge of the eaves of the carriage with her chin propped up, shaking her legs boringly.
As soon as I saw Hydrangea coming over, his eyes lit up: "Hydrangea, how is it, is the matter done?" β
Hydrangea nodded hurriedly and patted her chest with a smile: "Oh princess, aren't you worried about my errands?" β
After saying this, Hydrangea still asked with some doubts: "It's just, princess, I have a question......
Chu Xuewei nodded: "You ask." β
"How do you know that the owner of the hairpin must be a woman? And even the shopkeeper is a black-hearted businessman, you can guess it, it's too godly! Hydrangea looked at Chu Xuewei with admiration.
Chu Xuewei shook her head, and her eyes became a little solemn with Hydrangea's question: "This matter is a long story." β
The reason why she knew that the owner of the hosta was a woman was nothing more than that-
That hosta, she had seen on the ghost cliff that the pregnant woman who wanted to commit suicide had seen on the head.
The color of this hosta is very rare, and the shape is also very exquisite, and the style is not the same as the style that is now popular in Lingcheng.
That's why she decided that this hosta belonged to that woman.
Unexpectedly, she really guessed it.
She believed that the woman's clan must not have been killed by Gong Xiuzhu, although it was rumored by the outside world at the beginning:
Because the emperor assigned the ugly daughter of the prime minister's family to the seventh prince, she slaughtered a city of innocent people in a fit of rage.
Presumably, this so-called innocent people in a city are talking about the Yuan Sizhe family.
Although Gong Xiuzhu usually gives people a brutal, bloodthirsty, and ruthless appearance, but after getting along for so long, Chu Xuewei knows that it is really just an appearance.
I sharpened the ink for him on that day, and I saw some clues when I watched him review the folds.
Reading between the lines, there are all worries about the people.
He hated the love of money.
For the people, it is painstaking labor.
How could such a palace cultivator do something that would ruin the lives of the people?
"That woman is not easy, she has lost her clan and her husband, we can help a little!"
Chu Xuewei jumped off the carriage with a smile.
After doing this, her mood seemed to be much lighter. She smiled and put her arms around Hydrangea's shoulders: "Let's go, let's continue shopping." β
So just like that, Chu Xuewei led the hydrangea to continue to walk in front, and the carriage was a little farther away from them.
The two of them walked to the edge of a small flower garden, and Chu Xuewei saw her favorite white camellia on the outside at a glance.
"Oh my God, that's eighteen stars!"
Eighteen stars is to graft eighteen different colors of peach blossoms onto the same tree. The grafted peach tree will have 18 colors of peach blossoms, which are very beautiful and violet.
It is precisely because of this that the skill requirements of the grafter will be very high.
In modern times, the Eighteen Stars was just a legend, and she had only seen five different colors of peach blossoms grafted onto a tree at most.
Now when I see the real eighteen stars, I can only look up and admire in my heart.
This grafter is really amazing!
"It's so beautiful!" Chu Xuewei couldn't help but marvel all the time, and even stretched out her hand a little reluctant to touch those gorgeous peach blossoms.
Just as she was amazed by the beautiful scenery in front of her, a hand suddenly reached out behind her, stretched straight to the flower branch in front of her, and folded it with force.
On that flower branch, there are five different kinds of peach blossoms.
Now that it was torn off like this, a few petals fell with his rough movements.
"Since the girl likes it so much, why don't I give it to you!"
The heavenly voice sounded overhead.
It's a man's voice, but it's as beautiful as a natural sound, so pure that it doesn't contain a trace of impurities.
Why does this sound sound familiar?
But the momentary confusion was quickly overshadowed by the swarming anger.
She stood up abruptly, stared at the flower branch in front of her in disbelief, and said nothing.
Standing in front of her was a man, tall and straight, with delicate and white skin, and a face that was even more stunning.
With red lips and white teeth, a pair of big eyes squinting slightly, handsome and handsome, it makes people breathless.
If it weren't for the fact that she was accustomed to seeing Gong Xiuzhu's outstanding demeanor like an immortal, I am afraid that Chu Xuewei would also be deeply attracted when she saw this man today.
"Huh?"
The man in a red robe on a white background loosened the flower branch in his hand in the direction of Chu Xuewei, and there seemed to be a trace of expectation in his eyes.
Chu Xuewei finally raised her eyes and looked at him: "Give it to me?" β
The man smiled lightly, and there seemed to be a hint of rebelliousness and confidence on his warm face: "Flowers with beauty." β
Chu Xuewei sneered as if she had heard some big joke, and then turned around and left.
Next, Chu Xuewei looked at all the fabrics carefully as if nothing had happened.
In the end, I chose two dark cloths, went to the shopkeeper to settle the bill, and left.
However, when the man followed Chu Xuewei's steps, he found that Chu Xuewei had rushed into the alley behind the store in a hurry.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a brilliant smile, and he lifted the hem of his clothes to follow.
His subordinates were a little uneasy and wanted to go with them, but they were stopped by him: "The carriage can't get in here, so don't come with you, just wait outside." β
But his subordinates were still a little worried: "But Lord Wang, your current body-"
"Don't worry, I've tried, she doesn't know martial arts." The man spat out a word softly, turned around and followed.
The further you go inside, the deeper the alley becomes.
After walking for about a stick of incense, I stepped out into a small bush.
The man frowned slightly, but without a trace of hesitation, he raised his leg and sold it.
Following the traces of trampled leaves on the ground, the man walked forward.
Finally, after removing a dead branch, I saw Chu Xuewei hiding inside with a panicked face.
"Why did you run away?" The man smiled at the corner of his mouth and slowly walked in the direction of Chu Xuewei.
It seemed that because of some uneasiness, Chu Xuewei's beautiful little face was now a little pale.
She stared at the man in front of her defensively: "Who are you, why are you following me?" β
The man smiled lightly: "You don't have to be afraid, I'm not a prodigal son, I just want to get to know you." β
Seeing that the man in front of him was getting closer and closer to her, the frightened expression on Chu Xuewei's face suddenly froze.
A sly light suddenly flashed in those clear and agile eyes.
She blinked her eyes and said crisply, "But I'm sorry, I don't want to know you!" β
As soon as the words fell, several lines of silk cloth suddenly burst out from all directions.
It wasn't anything else, it was just a few pieces of cloth that Chu Xuewei had just bought in the cloth shop.
With the strength of a hydrangea, the cloth quickly swung in the direction of the man.
The man smiled slightly, and was about to raise his breath to fight back, but suddenly found that his dantian was empty.
"How-"
It was this moment of distraction, and the silk cloth wrapped his whole body in death.
"Well done!" Chu Xuewei shouted clearly.
Seeing the hydrangea happily popping out of the bushes, she tightened her teeth and tied up the man with force.
With a light leap, the hydrangea climbed over the three-person tall branch and directly hung the man up.
"Damn it!"
The man's handsome face, which had always been calm and comfortable, finally showed a crack.
He stared at Chu Xuewei with a pair of cold eyes, and there was more shock than confusion in his eyes.
Chu Xuewei clasped her hands on her chest and greeted him triumphantly.
Looking at his handsome face that was flushed, Chu Xuewei finally kindly explained: "What, do you feel that your dantian is empty and you can't use your strength?" Well, don't waste your efforts, you're poisoned now. β
"Poisoned?" The man's handsome pair wrinkled, and the anger on his body suddenly burst out.
That handsome face was also a little cold because of this anger.
But Chu Xuewei is not afraid of him!
"Don't worry, although you have been pestering me, in the end, you haven't done anything out of the ordinary. So, I gave you the ten spices and soft tendons, and after three hours, the effect of the medicine will be solved by itself. β
The man's cold eyes warmed up slightly.
A pair of delicate eyes looked around, and instantly remembered that in the cloth shop, Chu Xuewei seemed to be carefully inspecting the cloth, but in fact, she reached out and brushed each piece of cloth.
This cunning woman, could it be that she did what she did with those fabrics at that time......
Thinking of this, he not only did not get angry, but there was a trace of joy in his heart.
He has always disliked stupid women. But the woman in front of him has a very good appetite for him.
"Miss, look at this person, why are you still smiling......" Hydrangea looked at the man, feeling a little numb behind her.
She cautiously reached Chu Xuewei's side, pointed to her head, and said in a low voice, "Could he be that there is some problem here?" β
Chu Xuewei saw that he was magnificent, and knew that this man was extraordinary.
Probably whose gentleman came out to have fun, but found himself, right?
Don't make a big deal about it.
If Gong Xiuzhu knows about it, I'm afraid that he won't even let himself out of the gate in the future.
Thinking of this, Chu Xuewei bit her lip lightly, raised her head and threatened the man viciously: "Since I have a way to poison you once, naturally I also have a way to poison you a second time." This time it's a lesson for you. The next time you meet a girl, if you still don't have a serious attitude, no one knows when your little life will be gone. β
After saying this, Chu Xuewei looked back at the hydrangea: "Take my things, let's go back to the house!" β
Hydrangea hurriedly nodded obediently, took the things she bought on the side, and followed Chu Xuewei closely.
The man was still hanging from the tree, but he didn't struggle, and his eyes stared at Chu Xuewei's departing back for a moment.
Chu Xuewei didn't know that her every move, even a slight change in her expression, was firmly remembered by this man.
