XXVIII. Unkindness and injustice

Four meat buns in exchange for the true scriptures, Lan Xi used the secret that Wang Cairen was angry with her for trivial things, and people were deliberately looking for fault, and wanted to wait for her to go and make amends, but this crime was not to be paid empty-handed.

Reluctantly, I went back to the house, and the first thing I did when I entered the door was to find the jewelry box, the gold hoop had been given to Bai Bobo, and then I pulled off the gold hairpin on my head, and there were two gold hairpins in total, a platinum hairpin, a silver hairpin, a pair of pearl earrings, a silver bracelet and a gold necklace with a ruby pendant, which seemed to be worth a lot of silver.

"Little Peach, how much silver can you get if you sell all these jewelry? How much does it cost to buy another set of fake ones? ”

Xiao Tao was quite clever, and quickly understood what she meant: "If you sell it, you can get 200 taels of silver, and then buy a set of high-quality simulation to get 40 taels of silver, and give a commission of 30 taels of silver for the service, and the master can get 130 taels of silver." ”

Lan Xi almost fainted, and could only get one hundred and thirty taels? gave Wang Cairen a hundred taels, and left the thirty taels that the little palace maid Lanxi gave to her father, wouldn't she be penniless again? I thought that I could have three years and five years of money on hand by pretending to be the real one!

"Little Peach! Is there any mistake? This pendant is a ruby! And this golden hairpin, look at it, the condition is not bad! And this pearl earring, round and bright, how can it only be worth so much? If you want me to see it, it's worth a thousand taels of silver! ”

Seeing Lan Xi so angry for the first time, Xiao Tao cried in fright, and knelt down with a plop: "Change clothes, Xiao Tao doesn't dare to lie, let alone be selfish!" Listen to Momo's explanation! ”

Lan Xi looked at her appearance of pear blossoms and rain although she was not beautiful, and her heart immediately softened, and she quickly pulled it up: "Okay, okay, get up and talk!" It's not that I don't believe you, I just think it's too outrageous, I originally wanted to change it to one thousand two or eight hundred, and we lived a few years of prosperity, but this is too disappointing! It's better not to convert! ”

That being said, in fact, she understands how to do it if she doesn't change it, Wang Cairen needs to pay a bribe immediately, the longer it drags on, the worse it gets, the little palace maid Lanxi's silver is embarrassed to embezzle, if she doesn't change it, she will be unable to live this day immediately, but she urgently needs silver to solve the dilemma!

Xiao Tao wiped a handful of tears, pitifully said: "The master may not know, although your jewelry is also real money, but the color is far from good, pearl earrings are artificially cultivated, not natural beads, ruby pendants are also defective, do not believe in the master, there is no transparency, so it is really worthless to sell, the commission has been charged so much, because to take the risk, the risk is great, the return is naturally large, and he is found to have to lose his head." Or I will beg him, because the master's jewelry is not valuable, let him charge a little less commission. ”

Lan Xi was strongly angry again, could it be that the jewelry of low grade could be shoddy? No wonder her golden hairpin is not so golden, it turns out that it is not pure gold! A moment of anger from the heart, evil to the side of the guts, originally worried that the fake was found out, but now it doesn't matter at all, it is not seen as a person, even the jewelry is defective, it is better to use the fake!

"Little Peach, forget it, take it all and replace it with a fake one, they are unkind to me! It's not a good thing in the first place, so it's better to exchange it for silver to solve the urgent need! As for the commission, you try to bargain with him, we can save one or two is one or two, but if it doesn't work, forget it!

Xiao Tao looked at her sympathetically and nodded, which master in the Jade Girl's Courtyard has worn good jewelry, how much better can it really be than a fake?

"Don't worry, the master knows the market, he doesn't dare to lie to me, but fortunately, he has a good reputation, and he has always paid the silver before delivery, and he will not be in arrears.

Lan Xi was overjoyed, thinking that he would have to delay for a few days, but he was afraid that Wang Cairen would be even more angry if he did not make amends for a long time.

"It's good to get the silver ticket right away, you go and go back quickly, I have an urgent need! However, one hundred taels of silver tickets should be whole, and the remaining thirty taels should be genuine, not silver tickets, and high-fidelity jewelry should be sent as soon as possible, so as not to be noticed! ”

Xiao Tao nodded and left quickly, she was quite capable, and came back in a hurry before lunch, maybe these jewelry are really worthless, the commission is ten taels less, and ten taels can be left after finishing things, not penniless, Lan Xi happily praised Xiao Tao's ability, and at the same time was a little suspicious, how to distinguish the real from the fake with a silver ticket? Aren't there banks and paper money in this era?

Xiao Tao saw her concerns, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, master, he often does things for the masters, and his reputation is very good, absolutely no problem!" ”

Lan Xi put his mind at ease, thinking that he didn't dare to deceive people, the masters in the palace asked for silver, sometimes for flowers, if they didn't deceive people well, they would lose their lives, so it was better to sit honestly and receive a generous commission.

After lunch, Lan Xi carried a hundred taels of silver tickets in his arms, and knew that Xu Chang, the head of the Jade Girl Courtyard, was there, and he was going to find Wang Cairen with Xiao Tao, but he was stopped by the eunuch in charge when he came to the gate of the Jade Girl Courtyard, and Xiao Tao stepped forward and said that the newly promoted Lan Changyi was going to meet Wang Cairen, and Xu Changzai had already asked for his consent.

The two eunuchs guarding the door, who were not small and hateful-looking, pursed their lips and said disdainfully: "What does she agree to? We only recognize the warrant of the steward Ha Gonggong, and no one agrees without his old man's warrant! ”

Lan Xi is simply angry, and he is not in prison, and he won't even let the door out?

Xiao Tao was unconvinced and wanted to step forward to argue, Lan Xi really disdained to argue with this kind of person, pulled Xiao Tao back to the house, took out five taels of silver and stuffed it into her hand: "Forget it, what is the reason to talk about this kind of slave who looks down on people with dog eyes?" I've figured it out, isn't it just the steward who blackmails some more silver? Give him five taels of silver to change the warrant, and say that I only have five taels of silver left, I don't believe that just such a thing, he can still open his mouth! ”

Xiao Tao nodded and went out with the silver, Lan Xi looked at the remaining thirty-five taels of silver, thirty taels to the little palace maid Lan Xi's father, she only had five taels, but she didn't dare to do anything anymore, one or two silver didn't earn, the jewelry was replaced with a fake, but she had spent countless times, could it be that she was poor in her previous life and this life? Not destined for a good life?

The hour was not long, Xiao Tao came back, really held a piece of paper in his hand, and handed it to Lan Xi as if offering a treasure: "Master, the steward was originally willing to write a warrant for ten taels of silver, and he agreed after saying a lot of good things, let's go quickly, don't miss the change of clothes!" ”

Lan Xi took the thin piece of paper, and there were words like a dog crawling on it: "Please let Lan change clothes!" ”

couldn't help but take a sip of it, such an ugly character and a warrant were written, and he still wanted to blackmail ten taels of silver?

Just about to go out, Xiao Tao looked at her and said hesitantly: "Change clothes, you don't wear any jewelry, aren't you afraid that Wang Cairen will be suspicious?" ”

Lan Xi pinched a hundred taels of silver tickets, and said confidently: "Don't be afraid, when Wang Cairen sees this, she must understand where my silver came from, so she won't ask, isn't it self-defeating?" Besides, I'm just going to take the blame, and I still need to wear jewelry? ”
