Chapter 49: Bargaining (Part II)
Jiang Yun gently rubbed the small hairpin in his hand, grinned, and said, "With all due respect, this hairpin, I'm afraid it wasn't made by my sister, right?" Or, it's not my sister's thing at all? ā
"What do you mean?" When the woman heard this, her face changed, and her tone gradually became colder. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info: "Who is this hairpin if it's not mine?" Don't be joking, if you want it, don't forget it. ā
Jiang Yun didn't seem to see her face, and said to himself: "Sister, do you know what kind of bird this hairpin tail is forged?" ā
"Birds?" The woman was stunned for a moment, and forced a smile: "It's just an ordinary bird, where did it come from." ā
"The head is round and thick, the eye lines are clear, and the lines are clear and lifelike." Jiang Yun returned the little hairpin to the woman and sighed: "Sister, you might as well take a closer look, this bird is an acacia finch." ā
"So what?"
"Acacia sparrows, between male and female, inseparable, with this bird as a decoration, means the love between men and women, unswerving, is a thing of love."
"That's right, I originally wanted to give this hairpin to my daughter...
"Sister, this is a hoodoo."
"Ahh
"The love between men and women, compared to birds, up to the phoenix, down to the mandarin duck, how have you ever heard of giving people lovesick finch ornaments?" Jiang Yun shook his head and said lightly: "Lovesickness, lovesickness, you can't think about it, if you can see each other every day, what do you think?" This is a thing of love, but it is for those who have not yet arrived, who want to see it, and who think about it for a long time, but the sister uses it to give it to her daughter's wedding, isn't it a curse for the unfortunate marriage of the children? ā
"This..."
"My sister doesn't know the variety of birds, but she uses this bad thing as a wedding gift, so it can be seen that this thing is definitely not cast by my sister, let alone my sister's thing, I'm afraid I don't know where to pick it up, right?"
The woman looked at Jiang Yun fixedly, speechless. This hairpin was indeed picked up by her husband. High-quality peach wood, only in the Yinan Mountains, most of the jewelry she does business with is made of peach wood, after all, gold and silver things, not everyone can afford to buy, not to mention that in terms of difficulty in making, gold and silver are far more difficult than peach wood.
Yinan is the territory of Shanyue, isolated from the world, and idlers are not allowed to enter. Because of the impact of the war, between Shanyue and the Great Zhou immigrants, it can be said that the momentum is like fire and water, hatred for each other, Shanyue has lived in the mountains since ancient times, even if it does not go out of the mountains to the north, it does not have much impact, but many of the products of Yizhou are the exclusive products of the Yinan Mountains, plus the factors of the three major families forbidding the sea, resulting in many people having to venture into the Yinan Mountains in order to live.
Her jewelry business is inseparable from the peach wood of Yinan, so every six months, her husband will rush to Yinan, although he does not dare to enter the mountains, only wandering around to find, but can also get some good peach wood, there is not much risk. This hairpin was picked up by her husband by accident two years ago.
The people of Yizhou are simple and simple, in addition to the fact that in a peaceful environment, there is not much intrigue and tempering, and it is more due to the tough policies of the three families. The punishment here is extremely harsh, and some cases that are not even considered criminal cases in the mainland are all serious crimes involving life and death in Yizhou.
Failure to pick up an object is one of the felonies. According to the law of the three major families, the value of the looted goods is less than ten taels of silver, and the finder can dispose of it by himself, and if it is above ten taels and below one hundred taels, it is necessary to go to the government for the record, and if it is not claimed within a month, the picker can pay half of the value of the goods to buy the lost property.
As for the items worth more than one hundred taels, they must be handed over, of course, the government will not be left alone, according to the approximate value of the goods, how much will be rewarded to the found some silver, of course, compared with the value of the goods themselves, the silver reward is almost negligible.
Valuables are the most likely to cause disputes, and the decision of the three major families can not only increase their own income, but also avoid a lot of troubles caused by gleaning.
This hairpin doesn't need to be appraised at all, and it is known that the value must be above a hundred taels. The woman's face became more and more gloomy, if this matter was known to the government, she would have to be convicted for it, but if she took it and handed it over, five taels or ten taels of silver, wouldn't she lose a lot? The woman was finally unwilling and forcibly argued: "This is what I did, you said I picked it up, is there any evidence?" ā
Jiang Yun shook his head and sighed: "Sister, why deceive yourself? That is, you don't understand the meaning of the acacia sparrow, it is a thing of love, it must be a pair, this female hairpin is in your hands, then I dare to ask, where is the man's hairpin? ā
"I... Why should I tell you! ā
"Hey." Jiang Yun sighed and said, "Sister, don't think I'm looking for trouble for you, there is no impermeable wall in the world, such a valuable thing, I'm afraid it will cause trouble sooner or later." ā
"Huh." The woman also came back to her senses, nodded and smiled, "What does the younger brother mean?" You won't let me give you this hairpin, will you? ā
"How can I be?" Jiang Yun lowered his eyebrows and looked left and right, and said softly in his voice: "This thing is barely considered stolen, I can't see the light, my sister is pinched in her hand, there must be a disaster, or let my brother deal with it for you?" ā
"How to deal with it?"
"As the saying goes, those who see have a share, we have just priced this hairpin at two hundred and eighty taels, and now it is divided into three, ninety-three taels and three dollars per person, I will make up a whole number with you, ninety-four taels, you should sell me this hairpin, how about it?"
"This..." From the bottom of her heart, the woman was reluctant, and the price was so low that it was less than a fifth of her offer, but when she thought about it, she didn't seem to have any other way to deal with it.
The kid in front of him seems to be loyal, but in fact, he has a bad stomach, thinking about her? Only a fool would believe it! If you don't sell him, you can't say that this stinky boy will turn around and go to the government to sell her. But if you take it to the government and hand it over, I'm afraid the bounty is only twenty or thirty taels, wouldn't it be even more of a loss?
"Do you have a way to deal with it?"
"That's it!" Jiang Yun straightened his waist and pulled Zhao Jundao: "This is Brother Zhao of the Lu Mansion, we bought it with the intention of giving it to the eldest lady of the Lu family, it doesn't matter if it is stolen or not, as long as it is valuable." ā
"For Miss Lu?" The woman was startled and said, "Yes! I heard that next month will be Miss Lu's 19th birthday, could it be a birthday present? ā
"Yes, yes!" Jiang Yun nodded. "How?"
"That'll do!" The woman gritted her teeth and handed the hairpin to Jiang Yun rather painfully. "Look at Miss Lu's face, it's cheaper for you kid!"
Seeing that she agreed, Jiang Yun hurriedly brought the package from Zhao Junren's hand, opened it, took out one or two pieces of silver, and handed over the entire package. "You can weigh it yourself, it's exactly ninety-four taels, a lot of money."
The woman looked at Jiang Yun, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, this is very powerful, and then thinking of the bargaining all the way before and the silver in front of her, she couldn't help but gasp, it seems that this guy's badness is not a day or two!
"Are you bargaining with your eldest sister after calculating the money?"
"How can it, it's a coincidence!" Jiang Yun grinned, stuffed the hairpin into Zhao Junren's hand, and patted him on the shoulder. "Let's go, Brother Zhao."
"Ahhh Zhao Junren came back to his senses, pulled up the trailer, and followed Jiang Yun to turn around and leave. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but be slightly bitter, where did this Jiang Yun come from! Five hundred taels of silver, let him cut it step by step to ninety-five taels, this ability, let alone see, he has never heard of it.
Not only did this cut, but the people who cut it were willing, and lo and behold, it was all three feet away, and the woman was still waving.
"Brother, go slowly!"
Look at this enthusiasm, hey! Don't mention it!
"That's it!" Jiang Yun also turned around and waved his hand. "Auntie, take care too!"
Big... Ma'am? Zhao Junren almost squirted out a mouthful of old blood, and you turned your face quickly! Just returned to the eldest sister, and became a big mother in the blink of an eye? Are you teasing her?
"Brother Zhao, what do you want? Let's go! ā
"Oh! It's coming, it's coming! ā
