Chapter 009: Hairpin
After eating, Li Wenxuan and Zhao Tianer, who had rested for a quarter of an hour, went out together. Before going out, he already had a rough score in his mind, and he removed the bricks laid out in the room, and then took out the wooden box, and took out fifty taels of gold and five hundred taels of silver from it. After picking up the things by myself, I checked that there were only the house deeds, land deeds and land deeds left in the box. After closing the lid, he put the box back in its place and laid out the bricks on the floor again.
Li Wenxuan, who needed to buy a lot of things, also calculated in his heart that he still needed to sell the 300 acres of land handed down by his ancestors outside the city to provide financial support for his bold plan, after all, the Lin family's master and servant humiliated him and Zhao Tian'er a lot. Once you have made up your mind to take concrete action, then you will do it without hesitation. He understands that his current strength and fighting hard with the opponent are equivalent to hitting an egg on a stone. He was not stupid or stupid, so he decided to choose a roundabout tactic and slowly wait for the time to be ripe before retaliating against them.
Although Zhao Tian'er didn't know what Li Wenxuan was thinking at all, she faintly felt that his actions were abnormal. She didn't ask much, no matter what the situation was, she would always stand by his side and support him silently. She followed him, and her first stop was to the money bank in the city. The two walked into the door of the money bank and went straight to the counter.
Li Wenxuan exchanged the silver ticket of fifty taels of gold for four silver tickets of one hundred taels, one silver ticket of fifty taels and fifty taels of loose silver. He carried the silver ticket closely, and then put the cash into the pocket of his sleeve. I jumped slightly, and I fully felt the weight of the silver.
remembered Li Wenxuan, who had made a personal promise to Zhao Tian'er in prison, and said with a smile: "Tian'er, brother is rich now." This takes you to the good stuff. ”
Zhao Tian'er, who didn't care about things, and was not at ease in her heart, was afraid that there would be a thief in her heart, so she looked around the room, and didn't see anyone with strange behaviors, but she didn't relax her vigilance, walked to his side, and proposed in a low voice: "Let's go back first, after all, it's not safe to take so much silver out of the house." ”
Li Wenxuan thought that if the 1,000 taels of silver he carried on his body were to the next generation, it would be 200,000 or 300,000 yuan. For him, who was born in the roots of the imperial city, grew up at the foot of the imperial city, and had a wealthy family, it was quite difficult for him to buy ten square meters in a decent area in Beijing with the money he was carrying. However, in Zhao Tianer's eyes, it is a huge amount of money.
Li Wenxuan, who had seen some of the world in his previous life, naturally knew that she was kind enough to remind herself, but she didn't believe that someone would come to rob her in broad daylight. In his memory, he was still relatively relieved about the city, so he took one of Zhao Tian'er's small hands, and said with a light smile while walking outside: "It doesn't matter." ”
Zhao Tianer, who blushed in an instant, was really embarrassed in her heart, after all, men and women can't kiss. She lowered her little head, but she did not resist, and he still dragged her away.
Li Wenxuan, who had exchanged the silver ticket, led Zhao Tianer straight out of the money bank and went directly to the jewelry store opposite. When a bloated shopkeeper saw a customer coming to the door and saw that the two were so close, he arbitrarily thought that they were a newlywed couple, and stood in place to greet each other with a smile.
"Take out your hairpins and look at them." Li Wenxuan, who brought Zhao Tianer to the counter, was straightforward.
The shopkeeper, who had a business to do, immediately instructed a shopkeeper in the store to take out all kinds of hairpins one by one and display them on a platter on the counter. I won't forget the shopkeeper who sells it, and he begins to brag about the fact that his things are not ordinarily good.
Li Wenxuan, who didn't listen to his advocacy, noticed that Zhao Tian'er's pretty face was flushed, so he let go of his hand, touched his nose, and asked her beside him gently: "Do you like the hairpin here?" ”
Zhao Tianer, who raised her head slightly, glanced at the hairpins in the platter at first, and could judge from their workmanship and style that the price would not be cheap. And her own plain silver hairpin, which was taken away by the cell boss, was nothing more than a simple-looking and crudely made object she had bought from the street. When she was thrifty by nature, she showed the nature of a girl who loves beauty in the face of good things, so she was full of contradictions in her heart and did not choose, and she was stupid and in a daze.
Li Wenxuan, who was standing next to him, saw some clues, reached out and picked out a hairpin that he thought was the best in front of him from the plate, and inserted it into Zhao Tianer's peach heart bun with his own hands. The head of this gold-made hairpin is a butterfly that wants to flutter with its wings, and its wings are partially hollowed out to make it more vivid.
"Childe, it's really a good eye. This hairpin is extraordinary when worn on Mrs. Zun's head. The shopkeeper with a smile on his face, selling hard, complimented: "Mrs. Zun is immediately dazzling when she wears this hairpin." Hearing this, Zhao Tian'er showed a look of shame. Although my ears are gradually turning red, I am very happy in my heart.
Li Wenxuan, who looked at it carefully, felt that Zhao Tian'er was really good wearing this butterfly hairpin, and said, "How much?" ”
"As the saying goes, a sword is a hero, so Baochai is a beauty." The shopkeeper with his mouth as if he had touched honey, smiled unchanged: "Eighty taels of silver." ”
Zhao Tianer, who seemed to have touched the electric door, wanted to pluck the hairpin on her head, and said bluntly: "It's too expensive." Li Wenxuan, who hurriedly stopped her from making this move, really wanted to give it to her as a gift.
"This hairpin is carefully crafted by a skilled craftsman, and it is definitely worth the price." The shopkeeper could see that they had a real willingness to buy, and he worked harder.
"It's still too expensive." Zhao Tian'er, whose eyebrows were tightly locked, shook her head at Li Wenxuan, she really couldn't accept it, and said frankly.
Seeing that her expensive shopkeeper didn't stop there, she was more concerned about being able to sell it for money on the premise of selling it at a good price: "As for the price, it's easy to discuss." You say a price. ”
Zhao Tian'er, who stretched out five fingers in her right hand, plucked up the courage to say her psychological price and said, "Five taels of silver." ”
The shopkeeper who was in a good mood did not add evil words on the surface, but he revealed a little contempt from a faint smile: "You are really joking." This hairpin weighs two or three weights of gold alone. Needless to say, it took a month for the master craftsmen to make it. ”
"My lady must have meant to say fifty taels of silver, but she made a mistake for a while, so she missed the cross." In order not to let the other party think that Zhao Tian'er was a dirt bun who didn't understand anything, Li Wenxuan was anxious to save face for her, so he calmly interjected and offered a price.
The shopkeeper who heard this, his eyes rolled, and he bargained: "The price you gave really made me lose money, otherwise you add some more, and I will return some more." ”
Zhao Tian'er, who was in a hurry, wanted to stop him from buying it for himself, but saw Li Wenxuan's quiet eyes hinting at him. She was very obedient, her lips only moved slightly, but she didn't make another sound.
"Sixty taels." Li Wenxuan, who added ten taels of silver to the original price, played psychological tactics with the other party.
The shopkeeper who pretended to have a sad face shook his head vigorously and said, "Seventy-five taels, no less." ”
Zhao Tianer, who was not interested in guessing whether he really couldn't be less or pretending to be no less, quickly pulled out the butterfly hairpin on his head, put it in the platter, took Li Wenxuan's hand, turned around and walked outside.
Before the two of them took two steps, they heard the shopkeeper raise his voice, gritted his teeth and said, "Seventy taels, it really can't be less." Zhao Tian'er, who did not pause or slow down her steps, pulled Li Wenxuan harder because she wanted to leave quickly. I was afraid that he would turn around and go back and buy it.
As soon as one of her feet stepped out of the threshold, she heard the shopkeeper shouting loudly from behind: "Sixty taels, deal." ”
Li Wenxuan, who stopped first, pulled Zhao Tian'er around, faced him and walked back. Li Wenxuan, who took out a fifty taels of silver tickets and an ingot of ten taels of silver, put them on the counter, and then picked up the butterfly hairpin from the platter and put it on for Zhao Tian'er beside him. She touched the hairpin butterfly with her hand, and her mood was still very conflicted, after all, this thing is good, and the price is really expensive.
The shopkeeper, who did not lose money, understood in his heart that he had just made some less money, and said with a smile: "Madame, what a blessing." Zhao Tian'er, who had pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, did not answer, after all, only she knew the sweetness in her heart.
The two of them left the jewelry store and came to the furniture store at the corner of the street. And in this short period of time, Zhao Tianer's small mouth is a broken thought that Li Wenxuan spends money indiscriminately, and she actually doesn't like the hairpin on her head very much. However, in his opinion, this can be regarded as a girl's duplicity, after all, he can conclude from the casual action of her right hand touching the hairpin many times that the little girl's heart still likes this butterfly hairpin very much.
As soon as they entered the furniture store, the owner walked up to them and greeted them warmly. There are a lot of various types of furniture in the store, but for Li Wenxuan, except for the most direct demand for beds, he really doesn't have much idea of other things. On the contrary, Zhao Tianer showed particularly high enthusiasm.
Noticing that Li Wenxuan was so idle, he entrusted him with full authority and said, "If you like it, let's buy it." I'm sure you know better than I do. Zhao Tian'er, who nodded, agreed with a smile and followed the shopkeeper to choose carefully.
Li Wenxuan, who sat down, drooped his head, staring at the passers-by bustling outside the store, but his mind was thinking about other things.
"Shopkeeper, are we ready to do anything?" Following the man's voice, a man and a woman walked in.
The two people who stepped through the door were startled at first when they saw Li Wenxuan sitting in the room, but quickly regained their calm.
