In any era, a woman's money is easy to earn, and Bai Ling is convinced of this.

"Girl, there are hundreds of kinds of rouge gouache here, the expensive box costs fifty taels of silver, and the cheapest one costs five taels of silver, do you really want to pack one for all?" Although the shopkeeper was happy to have a big business, he still looked at Bai Ling suspiciously, and did not directly ask the guy to pack.

Not to mention whether Bai Ling's clothes can afford to pay for the silver, it is this way of buying that makes people doubt her original intention.

"My mother's uncle's family has made a fortune, it's not that my cousin is getting married, so I want to buy some good rouge gouache, but I don't know what to buy. In addition, there are many girls in the in-law's family, and I think it is appropriate to go back and make a meeting gift, so I want to buy more. Bai Ling made a nonsense reason, and seeing that the shopkeeper was still a little unconvinced, he hesitated and said: "Otherwise, just pick up the good ones and put them on me, it is estimated that it is too bad to give them away." ”

"The rouge gouache in our shop, the worst is better than the merchant's, if the girl really wants to buy it all, I'll let the guy pack one for you." The shopkeeper was only suspicious for a moment, and decided to take the deal, even if someone wanted to make a name for himself, he had to make a profit first.

When the man was instructed, he immediately found a nice basket, covered it with a layer of red silk, and filled all the rouge gouache in the store.

The shopkeeper fiddled with the abacus without raising his head, and soon calculated the general ledger.

"A total of three thousand eight hundred and seventy taels, the girl bought a lot, twenty taels and a fraction of twenty taels, just give three thousand eight hundred and eighty fifty taels." The shopkeeper's report.

"Is the shopkeeper bullying me for not buying anything? I buy so much, the strength of the discount can't be counted like this. After hearing the number, Bai Ling couldn't help but smack his tongue, regretting that he didn't bargain first, "Although your shop is very famous, other shops are not useless." Generally, when I buy something for a hundred and ten taels of silver, I have to give a few taels of silver to add my head, and the shopkeeper still gives a real price, otherwise I can only go to someone else's house to buy it. ”

The shopkeeper didn't expect Bai Ling to bargain, seeing that she really didn't have to buy things in her own store, she thought for a while and said, "Three thousand five hundred taels, it can't be less." ”

"Since this is the case, I am not embarrassed to be in charge, just calculate the price of the most expensive set for me, and I will buy it if it fits, and forget it if it doesn't." Bai Ling wants to take the high-end route, and he has no interest in the low-end.

The shopkeeper's face was slightly gloomy, and he said coldly: "Little girl, are you playing with me?" ”

"Why am I playing the shopkeeper?" Bai Ling took out a pile of silver buildings, straightened his waist and said: "What you pay attention to in doing business is your willingness, and the price given by the shopkeeper is not something I can afford, so pick up what I can afford, is there anything wrong?" Since the shopkeeper doesn't want to sell it to me, just take it as an interruption and wish you a prosperous business. ”

After Bai Ling finished speaking, he turned around and left, not caring about the shopkeeper's cold gaze, let alone thinking that this shopkeeper was a flawed master.

After this experience, Bai Ling went to two rouge shops again, bought a few of the best items to sell, spent a few hundred taels of silver, and was ready to buy some things and go back to rest.

"I'm sorry." Bai Ling was about to buy snacks when a woman wearing a hat suddenly bumped into her, hurriedly said sorry, and hid her face.

"It smells so good!" The tip of Bai Ling's nose moved lightly, and he subconsciously chased in the direction of the woman, trying to distinguish the ingredients in the fragrance.

But the other party walked too fast, Bai Ling followed a full street, and before he caught up with the woman, he saw that the woman was stopped by several men dressed in nursing homes.

"The girl should go back with us, if she angers her mother, it will be the girl who will suffer when she turns back." A man with a meaty face, without the slightest intention of pity and cherishing jade, stretched out his hand to pull the woman in the hat.

"My mother promised me that I would be allowed to hold a wake for my mother. I promise that I will not run away, and I will go back with you as soon as my mother is laid to rest. The woman's voice was slightly hoarse, apparently crying for too long.

"If the girl didn't want to escape, how could she leave the mourning hall without saying hello? How many can't you fool us? The man didn't believe the woman.

"I didn't run away, I chased someone out, as long as I was sure that it was him, I didn't care to listen to my mother's words. If you don't believe it, you can go with me to see, I have now sold my body in the Qinglou, and the deed is in my mother's hands, where can I escape? The woman's voice was poignant, and it hurt the hearts of those who heard it.

Several strong men seemed to loosen up, and finally agreed to accompany the woman to find someone, and stated that this was the last time they believed in the woman.

Bai Ling hid behind the stall when he saw a few strong men, and after listening to their conversation, he was helpless except to sigh at the fate of the woman.

Not to mention the one-sided relationship, it was not enough to make Bai Ling's sympathy overflow, but the woman's words also made Bai Ling rest thinking about saving her from the fire pit.

A woman who accepts her fate cannot be rescued by outsiders.

"It's a pity that I can't accurately determine the composition of the fragrance, maybe it will be of great use." Bai Ling shook his head regretfully, and lost the mind to buy things, so he went back to the Duan family's house, not expecting to meet again in the future, but it was a different situation.

With Duan Yulang's instructions, Duan Hu sent Bai Ling home the next day.

There were too many people, so I rented three carriages to sit down.

"This is our home." After Bai Ling got out of the carriage, he said to the middle-aged couple who were walking in the front: "Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu, you two are in charge of things for the time being, I will take you to see the empty room, you look at the first place." After half an hour, let everyone gather at the hall so that they may meet the master of the house. ”

"Yes, second girl." The couple bowed in response.

The other subordinates and embroidery girls, even if they were a little careful, all stood still, waiting to be arranged to live.

The three-bedroom new house is indeed not small, but it is only relative to living in his own house, and Bai Ling bought so many people back at one time, it is not enough.

And the three-room house is mainly for their own families, as well as a guest house and a warm house for growing vegetables in winter.

Fortunately, it is more practical to build a house in the farmhouse, especially in the northeast, which is dominated by Datong shop, and it is enough to live for more than a dozen people.

"Daddy, don't be nervous." Let Bai Xing and Bai Xiaoshan call the family back, seeing that everyone was a little at a loss, Bai Ling smiled and comforted: "The deed of sale of the subordinates is in our hands, and they will serve us and help us work in the future." What you did before, what will you do in the future, if you feel that your subordinates have done something wrong, you will be beaten and scolded or resold, even if you are killed, it will not be illegal. ”

"You can't say that, those are human lives, how can you still be killed!" Bai Liushi immediately retorted: "It's nothing to do wrong, just teach them, they are all hard-working people, how can you embarrass them." ”

"My mother is the kindest, and it is really their blessing to be able to sell herself to our family." Bai Ling covered his mouth and smiled, seeing that his family was no longer so tense, he cleared his throat and said: "There are some words, let's talk about them behind closed doors, these are also the experiences I got from Duan Gongzi, everyone feels right and goes to their hearts." ”
