Chapter 224: I Can't Afford It! (2 more)

For Changsun Chong, the word "buy" in the sentence "You also came here to buy timber" does not exist at all.

In the "Liu Ji Timber" shop, all the wood he fancied always threw down a few taels of silver casually, symbolically expressing his heart, and he ordered his people to take it away directly.

Spending some small money, Changsun Chong has always made a move, and he is still very bold and generous.

It's like "Green Dragon Wood...... The wood is so expensive that it makes people purple, but the eldest grandson Chong has never been reluctant to spend an extra "unjust money" to go out.

Therefore, when he saw that Li Yi was also in the "Liu Ji Timber" shop, and heard Li Yi's words and suddenly asked, Changsun Chong was suddenly a little dumbfounded and embarrassed.

He didn't expect it to be so coincidental.

Today, not only did he not go to the Secretary Province, but Li Yi did not even go to the Secretary Province, and he came to the "Liu Ji Timber" shop one step ahead of him.

"That's right, what a coincidence, today, I also came here to buy wood!" Eldest Sun Chong hurriedly smiled heartily, and at the same time put down the curtain in his hand, and slowly came to Li Yi's side and sat down.

At the same time, when his eyes lit up and saw the green dragon wood placed on the ground, Changsun Chong swept it carefully.

After carefully considering it for a few moments, Changsun Chong could already see that the green dragon wood on the ground was definitely a first-grade material, exactly the same as the material of the green dragon wood he "bought" back every time.

But seeing that the shopkeeper Liu Ji's person was not there, and Li Yi was waiting so leisurely, Changsun Chong was a little confused, whether this green dragon tree was something Li Yi wanted to buy, and his heart began to throb.

With a puzzled curiosity, after Changsun Chong sat down, he asked with a smile, "Brother Bo'an, this green dragon tree...... But do you choose what you want to buy? ”

Li Yi shook his head, sighed with a wry smile and said, "It's too expensive, I can't afford it." ”

As soon as he heard Li Yi's words, his face didn't look like he was deliberately pretending, and Changsun Chong's cheeks, which were originally curious and full of worry, immediately became much more relaxed.

Can't afford it? Can't afford it!

If Li Yi couldn't afford to buy this green dragon tree, then he could pocket it.

What's more, even if this Qinglong Wood is the wood that Li Yi originally planned to buy, once his eldest grandson Chong touches it, no matter what today, he must snatch it over, and take this opportunity to relieve the long-buried resentment against Li Yi in his heart.

Well, now that Li Yi can't afford to buy this green dragon tree, then he can also save extra money.

"Today's money, so-and-so has to be spent!" While smiling at Li Yi, the eldest grandson Chong secretly said in his heart, "Moreover, Lao Tzu has to spend it very boldly in front of this guy Li Bo'an!" ”

The more I thought about it, the more I thought about it later...... He will be able to get out of the evil anger in his heart, and the mood of the eldest grandson Chong will become extremely happy and comfortable.

"Hehe, Brother Bo'an......" Eldest Sun Chong looked happy, and the smile on his cheeks was about to burst into a gorgeous chrysanthemum, and said magnificently, "The price of this green dragon wood, since it is so cheap, Brother Bo'an, since you can't afford it, then ...... I have no choice but to win people's love! ”

The eldest grandson stared at Li Yi with a smile, but there was a naked blow and sarcasm in his words.

"You-"

Seeing this, Yue'er on the side suddenly turned cold as frost, and the corners of her mouth glared at Changsun Chong with a slight open anger, ready to scold him, Li Yi quickly turned her eyes and glared at Yue'er.

"Yue'er knows it's wrong, childe..." Yue'er retracted her head stupidly, and stood in place with a look of indignation.

Seeing that Yue'er remained silent, Li Yi slowly came back to his senses.

"Since the eldest grandson likes it, then the eldest grandson brother ...... Although you buy it, where can you talk about cutting love or not cutting love? Li Yi said with a smile, his eyes pretending to be reluctant, he withdrew it from the green dragon tree, and said with a wry smile, "I plan to buy a cheaper one, but I can't compare to the eldest grandson brother's arrogance." ”

Although Li Yi was smiling and talking, in the eyes of Changsun Chong, Li Yi's smile was obviously forcing a smile, but it was just to save a little face, and if he couldn't afford it, he couldn't afford it!

"In that case, what about ...... You're welcome. The eldest grandson said with a smile, feeling very comfortable.

At this time, the shopkeeper Liu Ji had already taken the second child in the store to move all the other good timbers in the house to the backyard.

But as soon as he came out, he suddenly saw the figure of Changsun Chong also there, Liu Ji's eyes were stunned, and his steps forward suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, the little two who were carrying wood behind him were also stunned, couldn't help but look at Liu Ji, and asked timidly, "Shopkeeper Liu, what should we do now?" And also make these good wood...... Moving out? ”

"What else to move? Hide the wood back! ”

Liu Ji glared at the group of juniors behind him angrily, and at the same time hurriedly waved his hand, urging and said, "Hurry up, but you must not let the eldest grandson Chong see these woods, otherwise...... We've done all the business in vain in the past few months, and we all have to drink the northwest wind! ”

"Yes, Shopkeeper Liu." The little two hurriedly nodded like chickens pecking rice, and carried back the Qinglongmu that had just been brought out, leaving only one ...... The purple-black green dragon wood remained.

"Huhu ......" breathed a sigh of air again, and then exhaled it fiercely, and the shopkeeper Liu Ji pretended not to see the eldest grandson Chong, and walked out of the corner.

"Li Gongzi, take a look...... What is the material of this piece of wood? Liu Ji said with a smile, and at the same time, he hurriedly took the purple and black wood in his hand and walked quickly towards Li Yi.

But after only walking a few steps, Liu Ji pretended to have just seen Changsun Chong, hurriedly bowed his head, and said with a smile to Changsun Chong: "Eldest Sun Gongzi, you also come to buy wood?" ”

In the past, every time he saw the figure of Changsun Chong, Liu Ji almost hid if he could, and pretended to be stupid if he couldn't.

But today, it's different.

Today, Li Yi is here, and both of them are here to buy timber, although the concept between "Li Yi buys timber" and "Changsun Chong buys timber" is completely different, but with Li Yi here, Liu Ji is not so afraid that Changsun Chong will blatantly snatch his timber.

After all, Changsun Chong and Li Yi have always been against each other, and this is something that no one knows or knows in the entire Chang'an City.

Therefore, Liu Ji's heart, which was still worried, has also been put down a lot.

"Hmm." Eldest Sun Chong smiled and nodded.

Since today, Liu Ji didn't deliberately avoid him, and Changsun Chong didn't bother to care about the trivial matters of Chen Sesame and rotten grain, and thinking that he would be able to let out a good breath in front of Li Yi immediately, Changsun Chong asked heartily: "Shopkeeper Liu, this green dragon tree is wanted, let's say, how much is it?" ”

"Five ......" Liu Ji had just spoken, and he said the word 'five', ready to say "five taels of silver", and Changsun Chong immediately glared at him angrily with dissatisfaction.

Suddenly, Liu Ji immediately shrank his head stupidly, and also saw the meaning of Changsun Chong's expression, and couldn't help but say tentatively timidly: "Five...... Fifty...... Two..."

"Okay, since the price is so cheap, I want it!" The eldest grandson grinned, then waved his arms and instructed the little servant behind him, "Give him the silver." ”

"Yes, Childe." The eldest grandson rushed to the little guy behind him who was like a mirror, and immediately took out fifty taels of silver from his sleeve with a smile and handed it to Liu Ji.

On the spot, seeing the shiny fifty taels of silver handed over, Liu Ji was instantly dumbfounded, and reached out to take it in disbelief.

That's fifty taels of silver......

It's fifty taels!

That's it...... It's as easy as that...... Got it?

Liu Ji couldn't believe that Changsun Chong, who had always slammed the door like an iron rooster, actually spent fifty taels of silver to buy this Qinglong wood that "Li Yi doesn't look down on"?

Isn't this a dream?

"I'm stupid and stupid, don't hurry up and take it!" It wasn't until the urging voice of the eldest grandson Chong's entourage suddenly sounded that Liu Ji hurriedly took it with a nodding and continued to thank the eldest grandson.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson nodded and smiled with satisfaction, and turned his head to look at Li Yi with a sigh on his face, ready to show off, and by the way, he also hit Li Yi again.

But Changsun Chong suddenly found that Li Yi at this moment was concentrating on studying the purple-black wood, and he didn't look at him at all.

All along, it was as if he didn't exist.

"......" Eldest Sun Chong twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly, and then let out a laugh, interrupting the silent air and said, "Brother Bo'an, this wood in your hand is purple and black, is it ...... Are you going to buy this? ”

At this time, Li Yi had already studied it carefully, and he found that this green dragon tree, although the bark was very purple and black around the body, but the wood material inside was many times better than the one just now.

Hearing Changsun Chong's question, Li Yi sighed, shook his head and smiled, and did not answer Changsun Chong's words.

"Shopkeeper Liu." Li Yi came back to his senses, looked at Shopkeeper Liu, who was in a stunned daze, his face pulled down, and he asked very dissatisfiedly, "Isn't there the kind that I bought with my eldest grandson...... Is it almost the same as the green dragon wood? You just take this rotten wood...... Want to fool a level? ”

"Ah!!h Shopkeeper Liu was taken aback on the spot, and suddenly recovered from his stunnedness.

"No, Master Li, it's not like that. It's not that the villain deliberately fools you, but ......" Liu Ji glanced at the wood that Changsun Chong bought, sighed and said, "The villain has already found all, and the best wood is only the last one that the eldest grandson just bought." ”

"This wood, although it is not a high-grade green dragon wood, but it is also a green dragon wood, if Li Gongzi does not dislike it, the villain will give it to you, and when there are good goods in the future, the villain will personally send it to your house, what do you think?"

Liu Ji lowered his head very worriedly, for fear that if Li Yi was angry, he would be finished.

After all, whether it is the eldest grandson Chong or Li Yi, it is not something that he can offend as a small shopkeeper.

Anyway, this wood is worthless to him, and it can't be sold.

If you can use this to make amends, it is the best choice.

"Hehe, shopkeeper Liu, look at you...... I don't want to be in Chang'an City anymore and continue to mix around, right? Li Yi suddenly became angry, glaring at Liu Ji with an angry face, and Liu Ji was so frightened that Liu Ji couldn't help shrinking his neck, trembling up and down his body, and kept begging for mercy.

Seeing Li Yi so angry, Eldest Sun Chong guessed in his heart that the material of the green dragon wood in Li Yi's hand must be extremely bad, and his heart suddenly felt a burst of relief.

"Haha, Li Bo'an, Li Bo'an, I didn't expect that your kid would have today?" The eldest grandson burst into laughter in his heart.

But seeing that Li Yi was so angry and so blatantly threatened Liu Ji, Changsun Chong immediately walked quickly in front of Li Yi.

"Brother Bo'an, it's not right for you to do this!" Eldest Sun Chong looked kind-hearted, gently patted Li Yi's shoulder, and persuaded him, "We are also officials of the imperial court, but we can't use this to threaten others, right?" ”

"Brother Eldest Sun, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, right?" Li Yi glared at Changsun Chong angrily.

"You can't say that, Brother Bo'an!" Eldest Sun Chong was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was extremely solemn, and he shook his head and said, "Brother Bo'an, according to a certain opinion, it is better to do it like this." Anyway, he doesn't need money to give you this timber, so why should you be like him? ”

"Yes, Childe, you have a lot of adults, so spare the villain." Liu Ji hurriedly followed and begged for mercy, and solemnly promised, "Once the villain has good goods in the future, he will definitely send them to Gongzi's mansion in person to make amends to Gongzi!" ”

"Hmph, I'll spare you this time, remember what you said!" After pondering for a moment, Li Yi glanced at Liu Ji coldly, and said coldly, "In the future, if you don't have good goods delivered, you can blame this son for being unkind to you!" ”

"Yes, yes, the villain must be remembered, please rest assured." Liu Ji hurriedly bowed and nodded constantly.

Seeing Liu Ji's posture, Li Yi glared at him again angrily, turned around angrily, and instructed Yue'er to say, "Yue'er, take your things, let's go, go around elsewhere." ”

"Yes, Childe." Yue'er nodded expressionlessly, and then walked out of Liu Ji's pawnshop with Li Yi...
