Chapter 5 Non-reciprocal negotiation
As soon as these words came out, the girls in Jinmanyuan couldn't hold their faces.
He was right, this business itself is a lowly business, and although the girls are angry, they don't know how to refute it. Lin Jianqiu, on the other hand, didn't seem to be worried at all, and he didn't intend to refute anything, just smiled faintly, and secretly put a hand behind his back, suggesting that the girls should not be in a hurry.
"What do you say?! I heard Zhao Gongzi tell me with my own ears that there are koi! At this time, the aunt who was squeezing next to Lin Jianqiu and was foaming at the mouth was extremely angry, and glared at the two of them angrily with her hands on her hips.
"That's it! Zhao Gongzi also bought steamed buns in my bun shop, is this still fake?! ”
"That's right! We've all seen it! ”
For a moment, several people around rushed up, pointing at the noses of the two and scolding, and even a few angry young men waved their fists and pulled the two people aside.
Not to mention that lies are repeated a hundred times before they become the truth, not to mention that these lies have just been told by these people themselves, and they are still hot. At this time, it is impossible for you to say that it is not only Lin Jianqiu who has offended, but this big vote of folks.
Lin Jianqiu gave a small favor and successfully cultivated his own people for this news.
In the distance, I could only hear the two little ghosts crying wolf.
Yes, on weekdays, you are told to bully the original owner at every turn, and the wicked should be rectified by the wicked.
After about a stick of incense, the girls returned to the Golden Academy and closed the door. During the day, the flower building is closed. And only four or five copies of the "Biography of Jinmanyuan" in their hands remained.
If it weren't for the fact that a few girls liked this and wanted to keep it for themselves, I'm afraid these few would have been snatched away by those enthusiastic people outside the door.
"Mother Wang, you say, will this Zhao Gongzi be angry, let's write him on this to make everyone know."
Mother Wang's fat hand waved, confident: "He is far away in Juncheng, and there is a three-day and three-night trip from here, even if he knows, he is a big man, and he sleeps a top card, what is there to be angry about?" It's not a shame to drink flower wine. ”
"That's it, how can a scholar never drink flower wine......"
"Besides, Lin Gongzi wrote him inside the tent so bravely...... Hee-hee, I look at him, not only will he not be angry, but he will steal the fun! The girls laughed, and the eyes that threw themselves at Lin Jianqiu were all more admiring, and they no longer shouted and drank as before.
"Hey...... Speaking of which, this time is the most lively one in our Golden Academy of Fine Arts, and it has not been so many times since there were so many people rushing at the gate. Mother Wang said faintly and sighed.
"I just don't know if those scholars will come in the evening?"
"That's right, these are all lively people who come in the morning, most of them are aunts and uncles who get up in the morning, and I haven't seen any of them in the past."
"These people are easy to fool, but those scholars have all read the books of sages, so they probably are not so easy to fool."
The girls were talking, apprehensive and expectant.
"Lin Jianqiu, are you sure?" Mother Wang frowned: "We will send this thing at our door, is it enough?" The flower city is big, and we don't have to go to the academy to send it? What if it doesn't pass it on? ”
"Don't worry, I'm sure, you, just wait to collect the money at night." Lin Jianqiu stretched his waist and glanced at everyone: "The girls are all dressed up beautifully today, if it is not surprising, the Jinmanyuan will be lively for a while." ”
"I hope so, I hope so!" Mother Wang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Lin Jianqiu was so confident. I thought that according to the current situation, no matter how bad it is, I can come a few more, even if I don't come......
The money for the fifty copper plates to buy ink was paid by Lin Jianqiu himself. There is no loss horizontally and vertically, Wang's mother has been operating Hualou for many years, and her small abacus is clear.
Hmph, this Wang's mother is really picky, she doesn't mention giving me a reward or anything, and I really think I'm a fool? Lin Jianqiu thought to himself and smiled coldly. He's not a stupid lord, he's tired for such a night, why don't you make some money?
After thinking about it in his heart, he glanced at the finch who was standing aside with his head bowed, and said, "Mother Wang, you let the finch rest today, she was busy all night last night." ”
When Que'er heard this, she raised her head in surprise and looked at Lin Jianqiu with tears in her eyes.
He's so nice to me, she thought.
"Huh? Oh. Mother Wang glanced at the finch standing aside, and saw that she was still timidly lowering her head, nervously mixing her hands together, if she rested today, it means that she doesn't have to pick up customers today: "Okay, then you take a day off today, and you won't deduct your silver." Have a good rest, and when Liu Gongzi comes tomorrow, you will be ready to pick up guests. Liu Gongzi gave me all the money, and he bought your first blood. ”
"Yes, Mother Wang." As soon as she heard the 'pick-up' of the two children, the finch's body trembled, and she replied with a crying voice.
Lin Jianqiu frowned, according to his thoughts, he had to come forward as a hero to save the beauty, but unfortunately now he is just a little girl who bought it for Wang's mother, and he has no free body, how can he give Que'er a free body?
What she can fight for now is to let her have a good rest day.
His own ransom money, fifty pieces of gold, is now gone.
"Mother Wang, if there are a lot of scholars here tonight, I should have a commission, right?" Lin Jianqiu saw that he had implemented the matter of the finches' rest, and he had to talk about his own affairs, so he stepped forward and looked directly at Wang Mazi and asked.
"Is the commission a Rausch object? Never heard of it. ”
"It's about the penny. The girls work a single job, don't they also share the money? If there are a lot of scholars, then I have merit, don't I get paid? ”
"Well...... Wang's mother's eyes rolled, and the old fritter sloppily looked: "Wait for the scholar to come, let's talk about it." ”
"Then you can't talk about it, you have to say it now." Lin Jianqiu didn't give an inch, he had been in the workplace for many years, and when it came to fritters, he was her ancestor: "For the sake of fairness, because I, the scholar who came from the propaganda, I don't share the girls' money, nor the money they eat, just share a drink money, and give me a profit according to their drink expenses, how about it?" ”
This commission method, if it is placed in modern times, there is no salesman to do it, only the wine money, which is too low. But in ancient times, Lin Jianqiu felt that he had to take it easy and offer a price that made Wang's mother less painful, and the possibility of passing was a little higher.
"That's right, Mother Wang, he has been busy all night, if there are really a lot of scholars, it will be a little bit for him."
"It's not much if you only count 10% of the profit from drinks, and in our place, meals and beds are big money, and drinks are small heads......
"I think I have to give people some ......"
The girls echoed one after another, half of them said fairly, and the other half was that Lin Jianqiu's talent had already convinced them, and they instinctively hoped that he would be good.
When Mother Wang heard this, her face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, she was angry and walked quickly to the pillar where the whip was placed, ripped off the whip, and without saying a word, her shoulders were rounded, and she could only hear the whining of the whip.
Fuck, this damn bitch is going to beat people again! Lin Jianqiu scolded in his heart, and was about to hide, when his arm was choked.
"A guy I bought, do you really think you're a person? How dare you bargain with me! I don't know how to lift! Mother Wang scolded, and the whip came firmly towards his body......
said that it was fast, and a lilac figure instantly rushed to Lin Jianqiu.
"Ahh The screams of the finch echoed painfully in the air, and she used her whole body to help Lin Jianqiu block the whip tightly, and the lilac skirt was instantly raised by the whip and flew up.
The speed visible to the naked eye, the skin that was thrown by the whip was red and swollen.
"Don't, don't be annoyed with her, she bought you, she has the right to beat you, you can't win, these guys will catch you, there are thugs outside, you are not an opponent at all, you will be killed!." Finch raised her head on his chest, her whole body was shaking because of the pain, but she didn't cry, her eyes were full of anxiety.
Her words reminded Lin Jianqiu.
Remind him thoroughly.
Yes, they will be beaten to death, it's not that they haven't been killed, and they won't be killed. This is not modern, this is ancient, killing the little guy he bought, and Hualou has a way to hide it from the government.
Here, people can buy and sell each other, so there is no fairness at all! There can be no fair negotiation at all.
It is impossible to escape, if it is so easy to escape, the girls who were forcibly bought and sold would have run away a long time ago, and the lonely little girls would have also run away. There are rules for the line, and the rules for this line are here.
I heard that this flower street is a guarantee made by the bandits who kill people on the Dongpo Mountain without blinking, who can run away?
"Oh, the finches, the hair under them hasn't grown, so you have learned to protect men?"
Mother Wang shook the whip in her hand, just held her head high and looked at Lin Jianqiu, who was blue because of anger, and sneered: "If you dare to resist, I will dump you, and if you dare to curse, I will dump her." Or do you curse while resisting? In this way, neither of you can get your turn, and neither of you will suffer, how about it? ”
As he spoke, the little guy behind him pressed him harder and harder, and the pain in his arm made Lin Jianqiu sweat.
"Finch, get out of the way." His voice was very dark.
"I don't." The finch's voice was extremely stubborn, and she stretched out her hand to hug him: "You are my father, since his exile, no one has ever been so kind to me!" I don't! ”
"I'm not going to go toe-to-toe with her, you're right, I can't touch her." Lin Jianqiu's voice softened, and it was obvious that he had regained his composure, and then raised his eyes to look at Mother Wang's gaze and became docile.
"It's me who overstepped it, and I won't do it again." Lin Jianqiu lowered his head.
"Hmph." Wang Mazi shook the whip in her hand, paced back and forth proudly, and said: "I'm not an unreasonable person, if a lot of people come at night, you have merit, you do it well, I will reward you with three meals of meat." If you can't do it, I'll reward you with three whips. ”
"Mother Xiewang."
Lin Jianqiu's admitting tone made Wang Mazi's anger a lot smoother.
"Cloth and ink or something, I guess you don't have the money to buy it, so let's do it, I'll suffer a loss, I'll provide it, Que'er, although you are resting today, you have to help Lin Xiaowu write, don't be lazy, you know?" Wang Mazi touched her chin and pondered: "It's inconvenient to be busy in the hall, you pack up the innermost firewood room and go there to write." ”
