Qi Niang frowned slightly, and reprimanded softly: "Eighth sister, this style of sixth sister likes it very much, if you sell it, how disappointed should she be?" Although our family is poor, you can't just ...... for a few dollars Besides, how much money can a pattern sell for? It's not a big deal, but it makes the sixth sister sad, let's go home. ”

Banniang secretly snickered when she heard this, she couldn't imagine that Qi Niang, who had always been honest, was also ready to play, but she pretended to have a very regretful expression, pulled Qi Niang's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Seventh sister...... Let's listen to the price of the martial sister first, if it is ......"

When Wu Sanniang heard this, she hurriedly said: "Shiguan, do you think it can be done?" ”

Banniang is still pulling Liuniang's sleeve and shaking, Qiniang first thought it was incredible, this pattern can be changed ten times? It can be seen that Banniang pulled her sleeve, because it was a hint that had been discussed before, she was busy with the surprise in her heart, her brows furrowed deeper, and she reprimanded in a low voice: "Eighth sister! ”

Still not satisfied?

Wu Sanniang looked at the two of them carefully, and saw that although they were wearing half-worn dresses, they were very tidy, and this little lady was only about ten years old, but she painted a good painting, although she wanted to come to the family Although she was poor, she was also the daughter of a good family, looking at the appearance of the older little lady, it seemed that she really didn't want to sell, not to bargain with her, but this pattern, after such an entanglement, she had the idea of being bound to win, so she gritted her teeth and simply said: "I really like the way the little lady painted, and I sincerely want to buy it, If the two of you are willing, how about twenty runs? This price is really not cheap, the shopkeeper Lu Niangzi in my shop, the salary of one month, is only five yuan. ”

Lu Niangzi over there hurriedly helped: "It's really not low." It's worth four or five months of my hard work. Our lord's family really likes it, otherwise, how can we make such a price? ”

Banniang said in her heart, twenty times is also cheaper for you, I want to have a design draft of my own, which jewelry company doesn't rush to ask for it? There are no six figures, and there is no need to even talk about it.

But isn't this man under the roof now?

He looked at Qi Niang, and this time he didn't pull Qi Niang's sleeve, but said: "Seventh sister, twenty times is enough to give six sisters two or three pairs of silver heads." My sister will follow it. ”

Qi Niang sighed and looked at Wu Sanniang: "This is really not to bargain with my sister, but my sister is so sincere, if I don't want to, I don't know how to lift." With my sister's twenty runs, we can also buy two pairs of noodles for my sister, speaking of which, my sister and I, thank you. ”

Seeing that it was a friendship, Wu Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing that her words were good, the smile on her face became more and more sincere: "It should be," and then turned his head and instructed Lu Niangzi, "Go and get twenty Jiaozi and give it to these two little ladies." ”

The money has always weighed three or four pounds, and the two sisters can't take it for twenty times. Qi Niang accepted the Jiaozi handed over by Lu Niangzi, and it was a blessing again: "So, my two sisters, I thanked the two." ”

Banniang saw that she had received Jiaozi, showing a stunned look, as if she was a little unbelievable that Wu Niangzi really paid the money, and reached out to take the four Jiaozi with a denomination of five from Qi Niang, and looked at it in her hand for a long time.

Before, Banniang saw how much money there was in her mother's money box, and she also weighed it, and saw that she had always had three or four catties, and she also asked her second brother Zeng Zigu, this money has always been so heavy, if people buy valuable things, wouldn't they have to find a few to lift? And it's not convenient to go out.

The second brother Zeng happened to have nothing to do that day, sitting under the peach blossom tree in the courtyard and reading a book, when Banniang asked, he was feeling a sore neck, raised his head and wanted to see the falling flowers, enjoy the beautiful scenery, rest for a while, and see that the little sister humbly asked for advice, so he gave her a good science popularization: "Rich people, or those who can find a way, will generally fold gold and silver, so it is more convenient to carry." However, there are not many gold and silver in circulation in the market, which is not easy for ordinary people to exchange, and it will also be discounted, which is not cost-effective, so most of them will be exchanged for transactions, which is easy to carry. ”

At that time, Banniang still laughed, saying that if she could fight for a hundred guan one day, she would also exchange a hundred guan jiaozi and hide it herself. The second brother also laughed at her: "How old is the silly girl, so you know how to save some private money for yourself?" It's just that your wish can't be realized, and now the highest denomination issued by the court is only a five-piece Jiaozi. And it's all regular, if you don't change it to a new Jiaozi, or convert it into cash, it will be invalid. ”

Banniang was still curious, I don't know what this Jiaozi looks like, the Zeng family has no money left, even if there is, it is probably going to be used for the family, how can it be folded? So Banniang has really never seen it.

Looking at the few specially treated pieces of paper in his hand, his heart turned out to be like this. There was a look of disbelief on his face, and he said in surprise to Qi Niang: "Sister, it turns out that this pattern I drew can really be exchanged for money." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly took out a few more patterns from his sleeve and asked Qi Niang: "Seventh sister, if this Wu sister also likes these patterns, can she also sell them for money?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he also sent those patterns to Wu Sanniang: "Sister Wu, look, these ones are even better than the ones in your hand." ”

Qi Niang was angry and laughed, this expression was true: "Eighth sister, don't be rude." The martial sister just likes it for a while, so how can I buy it all. ”

Banniang said in her heart, of course she will buy it, if these jewelry are created and sold in the shop, the money to fight for, not to mention these twenty times?

Sure enough, although Wu Sanniang didn't believe that the pattern in her hand would be better than the one she bought for twenty times, she also took it suspiciously, and her eyes lit up by three points at this look.

On the one she bought, it was just a set of peach blossom branches, but these few were a set of colorful butterfly hairpins inserted in a double hairhead, a set of oblique sideburns with double-winged screws inlaid with gemstone phoenix hairpins, a set of colorful five-tailed phoenix Buyao with gold butterflies, and a set of simple and elegant oblique branches of Sydney flower silver hairpins, the end is gorgeous and unique, exquisite, although it is only painted with gouache, it also makes people feel that if they make a real thing, inlaid with rose jewelry, I don't know how much brilliance, it is called brilliant.

Wu Sanniang couldn't help but glance at the little girl again, and saw that although she made an innocent appearance, she still couldn't stop the little trick on the corner of her mouth from laughing.

Wu Sanniang said secretly, if this little girl starts a business in the future, she should be a shrewd person, so she knows how to calculate in a roundabout way, and she can be called a businessman.

Although the people of the Great Song Kingdom are open, and there are many women who show up to manage the family's livelihood, but in the end, there is a difference between men and women, and women always have to bear more pressure than men when they do things.

She herself is the only daughter in the family, a large family, no male inheritance, although she is only sixteen years old, but has been a martial arts family for most of the family, business matters, her father often asks her to get ideas, and since she participated in the family business in the past three or four years, the business of the martial arts family has expanded three times, and the shops are all over the Jianchang army. But despite this, the father is still worried about not having a son to inherit the family business.

Because the parents are getting old and unable to raise again, the father and mother have a deep relationship with each other, and they are unwilling to ask for a concubine. Worse, not to mention that she doesn't like it herself, even her father doesn't agree.

So after paying attention to it for a few years, I still haven't found a suitable one. Seeing that she was getting older and older, her father became anxious, and recently he asked relatives everywhere for the old ......

Wu Sanniang thought about herself, seeing that although this little girl was dressed in cold clothes, she was smart and cunning, obviously the two sisters meant that this little girl was a master, but she had some pity for Banniang, although she knew that she was in her way, she was not annoyed, she only looked at Banniang and smiled, and she didn't say it was good, nor did she say it was bad.

Banniang was furious by her, and knew that her little abacus was seen through, so she had to smile calmly at Wu Sanniang.

Wu Sanniang didn't speak when she saw her, she sighed for a while, and said: "Since the little lady wants to sell me these four patterns, I won't bargain, although the styles painted on these four are better than the one I just bought, but don't raise the price with me, just take twenty pieces, what do you think?" ”

Seeing her so refreshing, Banniang felt embarrassed, shook her head and smiled: "Sister Wu is a cheerful person, and I don't want to take advantage of my sister, why don't you do this?" Four and fifty pieces, I thank my sister for the appreciation of the martial arts, these jewelry, you create according to the drawing, if there is anything unclear, I can also draw a detailed picture for you, if the finished product is sold in the shop, I will draw a few more for my sister when I go back. If it's not good, just let my sister suffer a loss. ”

Wu Sanniang said in her heart that this girl is not greedy, but she looks at her differently, and has the heart to sell her well, so she said: "Since the little lady said this, I will take advantage of it, and give you this favor, sixty times, plus the twenty times you just now, a total of eighty times, and also make up an auspicious number, and the little lady doesn't have to refuse, so it's decided." ”

After speaking, he called Lu Niangzi on the side: "Go and get sixty Jiaozi for this little lady again." ”

When the Lu lady went to get the money, Wu Sanniang asked: "After talking for a long time, I still don't know the surnames of the two little ladies." If the two of you don't dislike it, it's better to sit down and have a cup of tea before leaving. ”

Qi Niang was ashamed because she was seen through this little trick, and hurriedly replied when she saw it: "The slave family's surname is Zeng, and she is seven in the family, and this is my eighth sister, who lives in Nancheng." ”

Last name Zeng? Where do you live in the South City? Wu Sanniang pulled the two of them to sit down and asked, "But the Zeng family of the famous family of the autumn rain?" ”

"Exactly."

Wu Sanniang looked at Banniang, showing a look of sudden realization, and said: "No wonder, no wonder, only a famous poet like the Zeng family can give birth to a girl like Ba Niangzi who is so young and talented." ”

Banniang took the teacup handed over by Wu Sanniang, and said busily when she heard the words: "I just like to paint some paintings, I went to Linchuan with my grandmother once, and I saw the clothes of the girls of several families, so I just thought about painting a few pictures, and I didn't deserve my sister's praise." ”

Third Sister Wu didn't defend herself, in fact, what she praised was not the exquisite jewelry patterns she painted, but that this little girl looked like she was only about ten years old, and she was already well versed in the way of business, and her mind was bright.

After the Lu lady took sixty Jiaozi and handed it over to Qi Niang to collect, the two got up and said goodbye.

Wu Sanniang personally sent the two out: "If the two little ladies are idle in the future, they can come to the shop or go to the martial arts family in the east of the city to find me to play." ”

"When I have time, I will definitely go to find the third lady." Qi Niang said with a smile. said goodbye to each other again, and then took Banniang's hand, with a heart that was about to fly, and rushed home.

Seeing that the two of them were far away, Wu Sanniang returned to the shop, and Lu Niangzi said strangely: "Sanniang is really enthusiastic about these two girls, I just faintly heard what you said ́Qiuyu Famous Family\�, is this Zeng family very famous?" ”

Lu Niangzi is a foreigner, originally worked in the Wu family branch, after she left, with the child to live, often harassed by her ex-husband, because she did a good job, in order to avoid the drag of her ex-husband, Wu Sanniang recruited her to Nanfeng County's own main shop to take charge.

After listening to her question, Wu Sanniang said with a straight face: "Although Lu Niangzi is a foreigner, haven't you heard of the famous family of Qiuyu ́Zeng's family?" It is said that this Zeng family, not to mention our Nanfeng City, is the entire Jianchang Army, and even the entire Great Song Kingdom, when it comes to it, I am afraid that there are not many people who don't know. ”

Lu Niangzi said strangely: "The slave family has really never heard of it, but the slave family is an inner house woman, and it is not uncommon not to know, the third lady will talk to the slave family." ”
