Chapter Seventy-Six: A Noble Lady
True God, tribute, consecration.
Wen Shu memorized a few key words, thinking that he would inquire with Gesang Ma when he went back.
She was a little delayed here in the castle tower, looking at the sky, but it was still very early at noon.
The city wall is already the West Market, Wen Shu carried the basket, looking left and right, but did not see the shadow of the vegetable market nearby.
At this time, there were still many people gathered around the city wall, Wen Shu thought about it, and stopped a middle-aged woman with a smile on her face, looking gentle and kind.
"Beautiful young lady, take the liberty of bothering you, do you know where the place to buy vegetables in the West Market is?"
It stands to reason that a woman of this age should be called Madame, or Madame.
The title of beautiful young lady is the first time in many years that someone has heard someone call her this way since the middle-aged woman got married.
This skinny girl looked to be only eight or nine years old at most, with simple eyes and sincere words, and it was probably not for the sake of flattering her.
Could it be that her appearance is so beautiful that people mistakenly think that she is still a young unmarried girl?
Thinking like this, the middle-aged woman's heart instantly bloomed, and her smile became more and more amiable: "Little guy, you have just come to Agra not long ago, in fact, the vegetable market in the West Market is nearby, but the location is a little remote...... So, if you go a hundred meters south and turn left, you will see a silverware shop with a blue door and a vegetable market in the small alley directly opposite it. β
After saying that, she thought about it, and continued to kindly remind her:
"Little one, if you want to come here next time to buy vegetables, it is better to come earlier, because those dishes of the freshest and best quality are generally picked by the housewives and maids before the sun rises, and you may only be able to buy the rest of them when you go at this time. β
"I remember, thank you!"
After thanking the middle-aged woman seriously, Wen Shu followed her guidance, and sure enough, he quickly found the vegetable market.
A small vegetable market was interspersed on both sides of the alley promenade, and Wen Shu followed behind the adult women who were haggling with the vendors, and when the adult women had finished bargaining, she went up to buy them one by one in the order in the list.
"Spinach, garlic, tomatoes, turnips......."
Wen Shu counted the dishes in the basket, but recognized the menu, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of the women who were good at bargaining, Wen Shu was not only able to buy all the dishes for the same amount of money that these adult women paid, but in the end, there was even a copper guru left!
In other words, this basket of dishes cost only four copper guru.
Kelsang Ma's tavern only opens in the evening, and its main business is also alcohol, and few people order food, so the dishes and ingredients do not need to be enough to buy too much, one basket is enough.
Wen Shu found a small alley where no one was there, and secretly put the basket full of dishes into the Qiankun bag, she thought about it and decided to take the opportunity to buy some assets for herself.
After all, money, no matter where it is, is much better than force.
It's just that Wen Shu only has spirit stones and spirit beads that can be regarded as valuable currency, but the energy system of this world is different from that of the cultivation realm, and it is obviously not suitable for using items like spirit stones, so she searched in the Qiankun bag again, and turned out a few gem rough stones!
These stones were picked by her from the pile of rubble, the purpose was just to use it to explore the way, in the cultivation realm, gems without spiritual power were no different from ordinary stones, but in Agra, it was quite valuable.
After going out to find out where the pawnshop was, Wen Shu immediately returned to the small alley where there was no one, waved it a few times with a jade cigarette, and in an instant he turned himself into a noblewoman with an ordinary appearance but gorgeous clothes.
After thinking about it, she drew two more maids with rigid faces and dull eyes following behind her.
The faΓ§ade of the West Market pawnshop is very imposing and easy to find.
Wen Shu swaggered in with the two paper man "maids".
Because Wen Shu's clothes are very gorgeous, people can know that she is either rich or expensive at a glance, so soon an elderly old man came out and received her personally: "This beautiful lady, may I ask what the contemptible can do for you?"
Wen Shu sat unhurriedly on the comfortable and delicate seat, crossed Erlang's legs, snorted coldly, and motioned to the "servant" behind him to take out a delicate and beautiful wooden box.
"May I ask what is?"
"You can see it at a glance. Wen Shu looked indifferent.
So the old man hurriedly stepped forward and opened the wooden box, and inside it was a half-polished rough gem!
The old man stared at the gem, his eyes flashing with greed, he tried to restrain his desire to take it for himself, turned his head, and became more and more respectful towards Wen Shu:
"Madam, such a big, a whole piece of gemstone, contemptible people are still only seen in their lives, may I ask Madame to mortgage...... Or is it for sale?"
"Mortgage. β
Wen Shu said without thinking: "This is my father's treasure, I recently spent all my pocket money in gambling, so I will take this mortgage first, and when I win back the lost gold guru from the casino, I will ask you to redeem it!"
"I see...... I wonder if you can take the liberty of asking, who is your father?"
After hearing what she said, the old man showed an expression that was really like this, there are not a few losers who come to him to pawn the treasure of the family, but Wen Shu looks a little angry, he is afraid of offending people, so he needs to inquire about the other party's net worth background in advance.
"How can I tell you this! Do you want to run to my father to complain! You just say if you can be it, if not, I'll go to Dongshi!" Wen Shu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he stood up with the posture that if you don't change me, I'll go to someone else.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The old man hurriedly said, although he still hesitated, but the desire to own this large gem still prevailed, the big deal is to find someone to investigate secretly afterwards, and eating this gem is the key now!
"Then you say, how much can it be?"
Given that this woman is not bad at first glance...... The old man gritted his teeth and said, "This gem is of excellent quality, so I will give you two hundred gold guru for three months, and if you don't redeem it after three months, it will be completely contemptible to the people, what do you think, ma'am?"
"Yes. β
Wen Shu didn't know the market price of the gem, but seeing the old man's painful expression, he knew that there should be no room for bargaining, so he nodded and happily handed over the rough gem.
The old man seemed to be afraid that Wen Shu would regret it, so he quickly asked someone to sort out the gold guru and put it in a bag and handed it to Wen Shu.
Wen Shu got the money, and without saying a word, he turned around and left with the paper man "maids", and after walking for a long time, the old man motioned for a few servants to follow secretly to see what the strange lady was.
Wen Shu sensed the tail behind him, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he deliberately walked around Dudong City from the West Market, and after throwing them off some distance, he immediately drilled into an alley where there was no one!
She threw the money bag into the Qiankun bag, removed the illusion, returned to the appearance of a thin girl, and jumped out of the alley.
When the servants saw her, they came up to her and asked, "Child, have you seen a noble lady in there?" She looks to be in her twenties, and she is followed by two maids with straight faces!"
"Nope. β
Wen Shu shook his head, looking dazed.
The servants looked at each other, sighed, and ran into the alley to look for it.
Wen Shu carried the basket of vegetables that was taken out again, and slowly returned to Gesangma's tavern, at this time Gesangma had already gotten up, and was very surprised to see Wen Shu coming back from buying vegetables, and when Wen Shu returned a copper coin to her, Gesangma looked at Wen Shu's eyes like looking at his own sister: "Thea! Good girl! You are much more useful than Arthur's lazy worm!"
