Chapter 7: I'm Rich
Nan Baoyi thanked Xiao Yi and rushed back to Jinyi Pavilion.
She took out the silver coins from the treasure box and counted them, a total of 2,500 taels, including the red envelopes that the elders usually rewarded, as well as the New Year's money she had saved herself.
Two thousand five hundred taels is not a small amount, let alone buy a servant, even if it is enough to buy a troupe.
"I'm so rich......"
After experiencing the lack of clothes and food in the previous life, Nan Baoyi was very happy with the silver ticket, and hurriedly summoned lotus leaves and asked her to prepare the carriage to leave the house.
The lotus leaves are one head and two big, "Little ancestor, you have just recovered from your illness, what are you doing when you go out of the house at this time?" Don't toss, if something happens, how can the slave explain to the old lady and the third master? ”
Nan Baoyi hid the silver ticket in her small purse, and cleverly made up an excuse: "Grandmother's yard is strangely deserted, she likes to listen to plays, I went to the pear orchard to buy her two servants to raise in the house, I can listen to it at any time if I want to, how good." I am filial, and my grandmother will not blame me for leaving the house without permission. ”
The lotus leaf couldn't resist her, so she had to hail the carriage for her.
Half an hour later, Nan Baoyi's carriage stopped steadily along the street.
She helped the lotus leaf hand to get out of the car, looked up, this is the largest pear orchard in Jinguan City, the plaque is inscribed with "Yulou Spring" four big characters, very rich and elegant.
She explained her intention to the steward in the garden, and the steward looked at her a few times and said with a smile: "I don't know how old the girl wants to buy a servant?" It just so happened that the boss had newly trained a few little flowers, all of whom were twelve or thirteen-year-old girls, and they looked like a pretty one-"
Nan Baoyi took a silver coin and handed it to him, "The servant I want to buy has a lot of background, you can't be the master, I want to talk to your boss." ”
The steward looked at her with a smile, the little girl in front of her was young and delicate, probably a young lady who had never seen the world, relying on a few pieces of silver at home, and ran to the pear orchard to mess around.
He said: "Our boss is very busy, I'm afraid I don't have time to play with the girl." I can call the shots up and down this pear orchard, even if the girl wants to buy the pillars of our pear orchard, I will be the master! ”
"The pillars don't have to be...... The servant I want to buy is called Liu Xiaomeng, has the steward been the master? ”
The steward is a spirit.
He stared at Nan Baoyi incredulously, the little girl was delicate and delicate, but the Danfeng eyes with inner hooks and outer curls were like thick ink, containing gloomy and cool skinny that did not match her age.
He stammered, "You, how did you know about Liu Xiaomeng?" ”
Nan Baoyi smiled slightly, "Take me to meet your boss." ”
The steward had to lead her into Yulouchun's private seat.
The fragrance of wine was permeated, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was half-exposed on her shoulders, leaning lazily on the chaise longue with a wine jar, lifting her eyelids to look at her, taking a sip of wine, and chuckling, "You want to buy Liu Xiaomeng?" ”
Nan Baoyi never expected that the boss of Yulouchun was actually a woman.
Still so young and beautiful!
Nan Baoyi bowed, "The girl made a price." ”
The girl was charming, "You are the fifth lady of the Nan family, right?" At a young age, you can find out that Liu's deed of sale is still in Yulouchun, and he is more capable than your father. ”
She raised her head and took a sip of wine, slightly drunk and her eyes were clear, "For the sake of Miss Five's intelligence, the price is 50,000 taels of snowflake silver." ”
"Fifty thousand taels?!" Nan Baoyi lost his voice.
"Thinking about it, Miss Fifth is very disgusted with the Liu family, as long as she holds her deed of sale, she can't enter Nanfu, it's all in your words. Fifty thousand taels, buying you in the back house is free and clean, it is a very cost-effective deal......"
The girl drank slowly, and the wine slid down her fair and slender neck into the skirt, becoming charming and charming.
She raised her sleeve and pressed the corner of Yan Hong's mouth, "Otherwise, when the Liu family becomes the third lady of the Nan family, I will use the deed of sale to ask your father for silver, but it will be more than 50,000 taels." ”
In his past and present lives, Nan Baoyi has never been in contact with this kind of businessman who casts a long line to catch big fish.
Their Nanjia is honest and honest in business, and they won't slander people like this!
She shouted in her heart that the profiteer, the profiteer, but her face remained silent, "As far as I know, Yulouchun nominally makes a living by singing songs and selling tea, but in fact, you raise girls with outstanding appearances, let them grow up to be concubines, and wait for them to give birth to children and have a stable status, and then make a fuss about their deeds of sale and ask for a high ransom from the master's family." The other party cares about his face and will never go around...... Boss Han is good at business. It's just that I don't know, if I let the government know, what will happen to Yulouchun? ”
This is Nan Baoyi's guess.
Because in Jinguan City, many powerful and wealthy families like to take beautiful servants as concubines.
She bets, bet on the existence of Liu Xiaomeng, there are not a few!
She used this to threaten her, and the other party was at least willing to give her some discounts in order to keep her mouth shut.
Seeing that the girl on the chaise longue was just smiling and silent, she became more and more sure of the guess in her heart.
She tugged at her handkerchief and plucked up her courage to say, "For 10,000 taels of silver, I want to buy Liu Xiaomeng's deed of sale!" ”
"Deal."
The other party agreed very happily, and Nan Baoyi couldn't help but feel a mouthful of blood in his chest.
In the end, she doesn't go shopping much, and she seems to have a bargain price less......
She had to keep a stiff face and continued: "I will raise money as soon as possible, and before that, I hope you don't leak the news." ”
The girl has a variety of charms, "I am the most honest in business, you can rest assured." ”
Nan Baoyi pouted.
Which servant in the world can sell it for a high price of 10,000 taels, this girl is not blackmail, she is honest, hell honest duty!
But in the end, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, she didn't say much.
On the way home, the carriage slowly passed through the bustling long street.
Nan Baoyi opened the corner of the curtain, this street is called Hanlin Street, specializing in selling the four treasures of the study, ancient books of scripture and history, calligraphy and painting antiques, and the literati and ink writers of Shu County like to buy things here.
Xiao Yi gave her the idea of taking a fire out of the fire, should she buy a gift for him?
The little girl pondered, and the lotus leaf suddenly reminded: "Girl, look, isn't that Nanrou?" ”
Nan Baoyi looked at it, a girl in a white dress with weak willows and a wind, and stepped into a Wenzhai in a real style, but it was not Nan Yan.
"The slave maid listened to the people in the house, saying that Nan Yan's own brother was studying in Wanchun Academy, and he was going to take the imperial examination in two years, so she thought that she was buying the four treasures of the study for her brother."
Nan Baoyi curled her lips: "Let's go and take a look ...... too"
Stepping into Baoyan Zhai, Nan Baoyi heard the shopkeeper's warm voice:
"Miss Nan, the stone of this inkstone comes from the Purple Cloud Valley of Rotten Ke Mountain, the master polishes it by himself, you touch the lubricated and delicate feel, and then look at the fish leaping dragon gate carving on it, there is no inkstone comparable to it on the market! You said you've come to see it three or five times, and this time you just bought it neatly, right? ”
Nan Rou was reserved: "I really like this inkstone, otherwise I wouldn't come to see it every once in a while." It's just that the price you are offering is too high to be cheaper? ”
The shopkeeper laughed, "The girl really loves to laugh, who doesn't know that you are a girl from the Nan family, the Nan family is rich and rivals the country, and it is only a thousand taels of silver, what is it to you?" ”
Nan Yan bit her lip and stared at the inkstone without speaking.
Although her father is the third master of the Nan family, the old lady of the Nan family is strict, and her father does not have much money in hand, and the pocket money she gives her on weekdays is pitiful.
Her brother's birthday is coming, she really wants to give her brother a decent gift, this inkstone is what she likes at a glance, the carving of the fish leaping dragon gate is so auspicious, she really doesn't want to give up......
Just as I didn't know what to do, suddenly there was a shallow fragrance of hibiscus flowers.
She turned her head, and a slender and charming girl came.
The girl wore a beautiful double flat bun, wore a light pink skirt, hung a string of precious and delicate pearls around her waist, and the pair of woven gold shoes on her feet were actually made of Shu brocade.
It's Nan Baoyi......
was embarrassed by the most hated person to bump into him, and Nan Yan's blood rushed to his head.
Her beautiful face turned red, "It's a coincidence that I met my sister here...... Is my sister here to buy something too? ”
