Chapter 236: The Man in the Gray Cloak
Hua Lan didn't look at the pearl box, and she didn't ask the price, which made the few vendors in the back more attentive.
Seeing that Wei Cheng and Cheng Shu hadn't taken the silver yet, several hawkers were even more vigilant.
Anyway, there is no loss in fighting a fight, a few people secretly passed on their eyes, and their hearts were horizontal, and when Hua Lan asked, she was more cunning.
"I'm from Sanfangxiang Village, and my name is Dabao. My pearls are ten wen, 450 pieces per box. However, it is really the best, the best. ”
"I'm from Shangtang Village, and my name is Sibao. My pearl is Bawen, 500 pieces. ”
Several people invisibly raised the price, and the mouth of King Shou'an on the side was crooked. These cunning people, are they bullying him that King Shou'an is a piece of wood?
He has anger in his heart, of course it is not easy to have a seizure, and he has no money anyway. Even if he had money, he had no intention of buying it. Empress Sheng An can't cooperate with him, and his silver will not be earned. He was about to speak, what is this mystery that Queen Sheng An is doing?
"Alright, you all go back first. If so, I'll get back to you separately. ”
Hua Lan wrote the address, settled the money one by one according to the above price, and sent the vendors away one by one.
Take these addresses and hand over a flower three: "You look up the above address first, and if the above address is accurate, let me know when you come back." ”
Hua San agreed, took the address and went out.
Hua Lan then said to the spring silkworm: "You count these pearls, is it consistent with the number reported by several people?" After that, each box is marked. ”
"Master, every box must be digital?"
The spring silkworms are stunned, this has to be the end of the year of the monkey and the number of months? Five big boxes?
"Count Wei Cheng and Cheng Shu first, and count the rest together when Hua San comes back."
"Oh."
The spring silkworm pouted secretly, "That's enough to count." However, she didn't dare to say it, and silently took the peony and the pearl back to the orchid room to count them.
There were only King Shou'an and Jin Se in the room, and Hua Lan glanced at King Shou'an: "King Shou'an doesn't mind going to the night market with mountains and seas, right?" Since you want to do trading business, you must first understand the market trading situation. ”
King Shou'an has been silently watching everything Hua Lan does, he can't figure out what Queen Sheng'an is going to do? But when it comes to trade, he still has some interest.
Queen Sheng'an has silver, and the truth of win-win cooperation, King Shou'an can't ask for it, so he nodded to Hua Lan.
Hua Lan glanced at Jin Se, who had been smiling, and stepped out of the door.
The three of them walked down the stairs of the inn, and the shopkeeper walked over subtly: "A few guest rooms are going out, right?" ”
Hua Lan's forehead was an extra heart, and she secretly took out ten taels of silver and stuffed it to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, we are new to Shanhai." Many rules are not familiar, is there a clever and shrewd guy on the shopkeeper's side? Would we like to visit the night market in this mountain and sea? ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The shopkeeper naturally cared about what kind of guy Hua Lan wanted, and shouted to the back hall after taking the silver: "Xiao Shou, Xiao Shou!" ”
"Hey, here, here!"
The voice answered, and a young man full of aura ran out of the inner hall.
The young man had a pair of big watery eyes, "Shopkeeper, what's the matter?" ”
"These guest officers, if you want to go to the night market, you go and wait, be smart."
The shopkeeper lost his eyes, Xiao Shou fart bowed respectfully to the three of Hua Lan, and smiled brightly: "A few guest officers, please rest assured." With my little longevity here, the custody will not make the guest officer suffer. ”
King Shou'an smiled in his heart, Queen Sheng'an is shrewd and has arrived home, just a few boxes of pearls have a lot of extra silver, but now she is thinking about it.
A subtle smile appeared on his gloomy face, and Hua Lan glared at him coldly and walked out of the inn.
With Xiaoshou here, Hua Lan is a lot more relaxed.
"Childe, it's better to walk around from the east first. There are several houses on the east side that have some of the best pearl quality. After reading the good ones, and then looking at the other ones, you can naturally distinguish the high and low quality, and the prices are all negotiable. With my little shou here, they don't dare to blind the young son. ”
Xiao Shou said as he took Hua Lan and the three of them to the east.
Along the way, many greetings beckoned to him: "Xiaoshou is out." If there is any good business, you must introduce it to us!"
It seems that this Xiaoshou is still an old intermediary on this street.
Hua Lan browsed the dazzling trading scenes on the street while listening to Xiao Shou's introduction. A few people walked past more than a dozen stalls, and Xiao Shou brought the three of them to an elderly woman's stall.
The old woman was about sixty or seventy years old, with a head full of silver-gray hair wrapped in a lace bun, and wore a coarse cloth trouser embroidered with bright lace. When he saw Xiao Shou, he squinted his smiling eyes: "Xiao Shou, are you bringing business to your grandmother today?" ”
"Grandma Xiang, your business is good today. It's almost sold out, so I'll take a few customers to take a look. ”
Xiao Shou said as he introduced to Hua Lan: "Grandma Xiang's pearls are all first-class pearls. ”
He picked up a large pearl with a blue color: "This kind of pearl is about 10,000." He pointed to the other boxes lined up in turn: "Grandma Xiang's pearls are the most honest pearl dealers on this street." The prices of her old people's homes are all real and undeceiving, and they don't talk about two prices. Although it is a little more expensive, the pearls on the whole street, Grandma Xiang's is the best. ”
Hua Lan carefully watched each pearl. The fluorescence of each pearl is different, the size is not visible, and the higher the price, the more soft the luster in the light.
When Hua Lan carefully observed the pearl, Xiao Shou saw it.
These guests, except for this handsome and extraordinary young man who is the buyer, the other two are all escorts.
Isn't it? King Shou'an didn't care about the fineness and price of the pearl at all, his mind was all on Queen Sheng'an's movements. And Jin Se, that understated smile, didn't float on the pearl, she calmly observed the movements around her.
It didn't take long for her to notice a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in the crowd who was always following them around.
Mo Fei also noticed Jin Se's gaze, but one of his eyes was even more fixed on a figure that was hidden deeper.
For some reason, since the identity of Queen Sheng'an's daughter was revealed and exposed, this figure has been appearing around Queen Sheng'an.
The man was dressed in a large gray mantle, the hood of which obscured half of his face, and his eyes could not be seen clearly, and his angular face was slightly covered with gray stubble. It seems that there are twenty-seven or eighteen years old if not thirty. Walking seems to be careless, but in fact, there is not even a trace of dust under your feet.
Mo Fei could see that this man's martial arts attainments were extremely high, at least, above him.
This person appeared in the crowd, not as hidden as the Qinggui Gate and the Qingtang Gate. Why did it suddenly sink in place, which made Murphy wonder.
Is it for Queen Sheng'an, or is it for King Shou'an?
He was stunned when the man in the gray cloak flashed through the crowd and disappeared again.
It's so fast.
Murphy shrugged his shoulders and disappeared into the crowd.
