Chapter Eighty-Six: The Connoisseur
Cao Ming was very helpless: "I forgot to bring the money, can you make an IOU first, and I'll give more later." ”
The runner looked Cao Ming up and down and said: "This store doesn't make IOUs, and those who eat overlord meals will be beaten with thirty sticks, I'm afraid you can't take a few hits on your bones, right?" ”
"I'll figure it out right away!" Cao Ming's mind was blank, could he really be beaten and crippled if he really had to be beaten and crippled.
"I have a good idea, you bet your valuable things here, and then go back and get the money." ”
Cao Ming thought this method was good, mortgaged the valuables here, and went back to withdraw the money to redeem them.
Cao Ming took off the jade bracelet with some reluctance: "This bracelet is here for you, don't lose it!" ”
The runner took the jade bracelet and looked at it, and said happily: "Forgive the villain, such a good-looking red agate is worth hardware, right?" ”
Cao Ming thought to herself, you are really clumsy, rare red jade can be regarded as agate, you must know the difference between the price of the two.
A young man walked over, looked at the jade bracelet carefully, and said, "My surname is Lai Mingyu, and I am the owner of a jade shop in the east of the city, and I want to buy a girl's bracelet for 100 gold." ”
The man who had teased Cao Ming before suddenly stood up: "Brother Lai, you have to think about it, it's just an agate bracelet, even if the quality is good, ten gold is enough." ”
Lai Yu waved his hand to signal the other party to sit down, and the man knew the other party's temper, so he stopped persuading him.
Cao Ming explained: "I'm sorry, this is a dowry from my grandfather, and I won't sell it." ”
Cao Ming actually thought that the other party's offer was too low, like this kind of high-quality red jade, which can only be found in the emperor's treasure house, and it is worth 30,000 catties of gold on the market.
Lai Yu sat opposite Cao Ming, and then said to the running hall: "A few more exquisite dishes, this girl's account will be counted on my head." ”
"No! Childe waits, the food will come soon. Ran Tang obviously knew Lai Yu, and went down to prepare food without saying a word.
Lai Yu didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, raised the bottle to signal to Cao Ming, and then drank the wine inside.
Cao Ming deliberately asked: "We are not related, why do you want to invite me, should you want me to do anything?" ”
Lai Yu smiled and said: "I don't want you anything, I just want to make a friend, the girl can bring up the red jade, it must be a rich family, people like us who do business, the more friends there are, the more money will be smooth, and the girl has no objection." ”
Cao Ming stared at Lai Yu, thinking that if this guy was in modern times, he would definitely be a gentle president type, the male god of many girls' dreams.
"Do you dare to ask your son to marry a wife?" Cao Ming's gossip heart began to beat, like this kind of person who is not bad in all aspects, the matchmaker is estimated to be able to step through the threshold of his family.
Lai Yu pretended to be mysterious and said: "Don't hide it from the girl, I didn't marry a wife, I was waiting for a beautiful woman to take the initiative to throw herself into my arms." ”
"You" Cao Ming thought to herself that this person was really shrewd, knowing that the other party was talking about herself, but she couldn't get angry with her.
"What's wrong with me, what's wrong?" Lai Yu pretended to be innocent on the surface, but his heart was already happy, this girl's shy appearance was really charming, and she didn't know whose daughter it was.
"It's nothing, I'm going to eat." Cao Ming took a deep breath, thinking that things seemed to have become troublesome, and she seemed to have feelings for men.
Lai Yu seemed to know how to grasp the balance very well, and when he saw that Cao Ming was reluctant to speak anymore, he did not continue to talk, but took care of her diet with all his heart.
"Water!" Cao Ming was distracted while eating, and swallowed a large piece of meat directly, but choked in her throat.
Lai Yu hurriedly handed over the wine bottle, and until the other party was safe, he was relieved to continue eating.
After Cao Ming drank a bottle of wine, her eyes began to appear illusory, and she thought that she had just drunk a few bottles of wine, why did she get dizzy.
"Girl, are you alright?" Lai Yu saw Cao Ming's eyes were confused, and he thought that he had drunk too much wine.
Cao Ming said with half-open eyes: "The wine in this house seems to be weird, I want to sleep after drinking!" ”
Seeing this, Lai Yu smiled and said: "The girl doesn't know, the wine in this store is called Beauty Mochizuki, if you don't drink it often, you must not be able to stand its strength, I drank it the first time I came." ”
