Chapter 248: Are You Winged Prince?
This painting of five hundred taels of silver, the old man thinks it is worth it. It's just that he returned the price to four hundred taels in line with the principle of asking for the price and repaying the money on the spot. But he didn't want Lin Xiaozhu to not negotiate with him, so he turned around and left, this time he panicked, and shouted repeatedly: "Hey, son, girl, five hundred taels, five hundred taels of old man wants." ”
Lin Xiaozhu slowly stopped and looked up at Shen Ziyi: "Childe, how is it?" ”
Ask me this time? Why did you ignore your comments just now? Shen Ziyi sneered, groaned cooperatively for a while, nodded, and waved his hand: "Okay, sell it." Who told you to speak out? We can't be the ones who don't keep their word. ”
Lin Xiaozhu secretly gave a thumbs up, shook it at Shen Ziyi, praised him for being teachable, and then turned around and handed the painting to the old man: "Okay, I'll listen to the son." ”
Shen Ziyi's thoughts, she didn't understand; This old man is not unsympathetic. But she herself is a poor and white person, and now she is still in debt, and she is even more pitiful than the old man in front of her. Besides, in business, Shen Ziyi doesn't even have food money on him now, so he began to put on the arrogance of a noble son, and sympathy for a businessman who wants to make more money from him is really undeserved. She disagrees with this approach.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, girl." Thinking that the painting had almost slipped out of his hand, and now that it had finally been recovered, the old man burst into tears.
He carefully took the painting, and then shouted inside, "Li'er, come out and take a look at the shop." ”
"Here we are." Out of the room came a young man wearing a Xiucai headscarf, holding a book in his hand, reading as he walked.
The old man turned to the three of them and said, "Three of you, please go to the room with the old man to get the money." ”
Lin Xiaozhu nodded secretly. The door of this shop is wide open, and people come and go on the road, if you trade in the shop. As soon as so much white money is taken out, it will inevitably arouse the covetousness of others. Although Yuan Tianye's martial arts are not weak, he generally doesn't take it seriously. But if you are not familiar with life, it is better to have more than one thing. Fortunately, the old man did a good job and knew how to take them to the middle of the room to trade.
Inside is a small yard. Walk through the courtyard to the main hall. The old man invited them to take a seat. asked an old woman to come out for tea and said, "Because Yanglin Town is too small, there is no money here, so it is generally a cash transaction." Five hundred taels of silver is very heavy, not as easy to carry as gold, so the old man wants to trade in gold, I don't know what the three guests think? ”
Lin Xiaozhu looked at Yuan Tianye and Shen Ziyi. Seeing that they all agreed, he smiled and said, "This is very good, thank you for thinking about us." "If this old man really paid five hundred taels of silver, it would be a real trouble for them.
The old man nodded, said goodbye, and entered a nearby room. After a while, he came out with a bag in his hand, opened it, and inside was fifty ingots of gold. He said, "This is fifty taels of gold." It is exactly equivalent to five hundred taels of silver, and the three guest officers are asked to check it. ”
Lin Xiaozhu turned his head: "Two sons, take a look." "In this ancient time, she had a minot. It was still rewarded by Yuan Zhibai when he was in the villa. So she really didn't know how to identify gold.
Shen Ziyi has been in charge of the money for him since he was born. To put it mildly, he didn't care much about what the gold, silver, and copper coins looked like. So he couldn't tell whether the gold was real or fake.
Yuan Tianye stepped forward and checked it with his hand, and with a little force on his fingers, the ingots became a cake.
The old man was taken aback, and then he seriously glanced at the guest who had been ignoring it just now, and exclaimed, "This guest officer has a lot of strength. ”
Yuan Tianye counted the number again, then wrapped up the burden, nodded and said, "Fifty taels of gold, there is nothing wrong." "I tied a knot and carried it directly on my back. Fifty taels of gold is quite heavy, if you give it to Shen Ziyi and Lin Xiaozhu, you may not be able to take it.
"And so, we're going to take our leave." Lin Xiaozhu stood up.
"Slow down." The old man hurriedly said, turned around, and made a deep bow to Shen Ziyi and Lin Xiaozhu, "Little old man has a request, and I also ask this son and girl to agree." ”
"What?"
He opened the painting, put it on the table, took out the four treasures of the study, and said: "Although this painting is excellent, it has a fly in the ointment and has not been signed. The little old man wants to ask the two of them to drop the money, I don't know if it's okay? ”
Shen Ziyi and Lin Xiaozhu glanced at each other.
At that time, Shen Ziyi finished painting, and before he could write the inscription, he was snatched by Lin Xiaozhu. Although Lin Xiaozhu mentioned the poem, it was not easy to leave his name, and considering that Shen Ziyi was the prince of the South China Sea, this name was inscribed, and I don't know if it had any impact on his reputation, so he didn't mention this stubble, so the painting was left blank. In this matter, the old man did not use it as a bargaining chip to lower the price, but waited until he paid the money before putting forward the request, which can be regarded as giving enough sincerity.
Shen Ziyi thought about it, picked up the pen, dropped the money between him and Lin Xiaozhu, and wrote the date. Putting down the pen, he apologized to the old man again: "I didn't bring the seal on my body, please forgive me." ”
The old man didn't hear it, looked at the name on the painting, pondered to himself, and muttered in his mouth: "Shen Ziyi, Shen Ziyi, why does the old man seem to have heard of it somewhere?" ”
The name of the four sons of the Xuanyuan Dynasty is widely spread in the upper class, and ordinary people may not know it. Shen Ziyi smiled and said to Yuan Tianye and Lin Xiaozhu, "Let's go." ”
The three of them walked through the courtyard until they walked out of the door of the shop, but they heard the old man shouting inside: "Oh my God, Yi Gongzi, it turned out to be Yi Gongzi of the South China Sea Country......
"How does he know?" Shen Ziyi was stunned and stopped.
Yuan Tianye also stopped, frowned and said, "In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, before we leave here, it is better to advertise the name." ”
As soon as the three of them walked down the street, they were surrounded by onlookers. If you knew that one of them turned out to be the prince of Linguo, not only would the number of people who came to see the excitement increase, but also Boss Zhao, Master Li and others would have to compete with them. It would be boring to insist on offering a few hundred taels of silver for no reason. Now these ordinary people, they are having a good time.
Shen Ziyi also figured this out at this time, turned around and walked inside.
"Winged Childe, you turned out to be Winged Childe. Old man...... No, no, the villain didn't know Taishan just now, and asked the winged son to forgive him. As soon as the old man saw Shen Ziyi coming in, he fell to the ground nine times and bowed three times.
"Uncle, please get up quickly." Shen Ziyi had no choice but to step forward to help the old man up, "I have another request, and I ask the old man to do me a favor." ”
The old man was so excited that he wanted to continue to repent, but when he heard Shen Ziyi asking him for help, he hurriedly waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare to take the word help." What does Winged Gongzi command, just say it directly. ”
Shen Ziyi stared at the old man with his eyes and said solemnly: "Before the three of us leave Yanglin Town, please don't tell the old man our identity to others." Otherwise, it will cause unnecessary trouble. ”
The old man never expected Shen Ziyi to make such a request to him, and looked at Shen Ziyi in a daze for a while before he reacted, and made a promise with a swear.
The three of them said goodbye, thinking about the situation of making money just now, Shen Ziyi was full of excitement and said, "I didn't expect that making money is such a fun thing." "He has never made any money in his life, and now he knows that it is a very fulfilling thing to make money on his own. Especially when he thought that as soon as he made a move, he earned two hundred and fifty taels of silver, which was two hundred taels more than what Yuan Tianye had earned just now, and he was full of excitement.
"I propose that even if they find us, we will still make money as we do now," he said. When you arrive in Haijing City, it's better than who makes more money, how about it? ”
"Yes, yes!" Lin Xiaozhu is the most enthusiastic about this proposal. She still owes Shen Ziyi a lot of money. It's best to make money while traveling along the way. Especially today, she found that she could still sell money by writing poems and words, and her excitement was no less than Shen Ziyi's. It's not always a matter to sell recipes, and she still wants to keep good recipes for herself to run a restaurant in the future. But there is no concern about selling poetry, calligraphy and paintings, this is simply a gold mine, and it doesn't matter how she digs it.
The two turned their heads to look at Yuan Tianye.
"Naturally, I'm okay." Yuan Tianye said. On this trip, he set himself a task, which is to observe the people's conditions and see how the lives of the people are. And Shen Ziyi's proposal just allowed him to experience the hardships of ordinary people making money.
The three of them were excitedly discussing how to make money, when a woman in her forties, dressed in old clothes, with a sad face ran up to them. She looked at the three of them, then at the banner in Yuan Tianye's hand, and asked hesitantly: "Doctor, are you surnamed Yuan?" ”
"Exactly." Yuan Tianye stopped.
"Doctor, Doctor Yuan, I've got you." The woman choked and knelt down on her knees, "I heard that you have cured all the diseases that Dr. Zhou can't see well." My son...... My son was smashed, Dr. Zhou said...... It's gone, let me prepare for the future. Doctor, you are an immortal, you are a bodhisattva, can you save my son? Halfway through the words, I couldn't stop crying.
Her cry immediately attracted many people, who looked at the woman kneeling on the ground and said, "Oh, isn't this the soil root of the back street?" ”
"Yes, yes, Tugen's injury, Dr. Zhou said it was incurable. Poor Tugen's mother only has this one son. Alas......"
"It's okay, it's okay, this time Tugen must be saved. Have you heard about the Li family? The little doctor was so good that a bowl of ginger juice cured the old man's stroke. ”
"Is that true? Impossible, right? ”
"How could it not be? Let me tell you, my sister-in-law is working in the Li family, and she told me about this in person. ”
"Nonsense, how can a stroke heal so quickly? Or just ginger ale? Did you hear me wrong? ”
"......" (To be continued)
