Chapter 319: Regret
"What?"
"Xu Gongzi said......" Lu'er glanced down at Shui Ning, learning Xu Yichen's demeanor and tone, "Shopkeeper Xia, don't blame me for not reminding you, this Shui Ning girl is not as simple as you imagined." Ten thousand taels of gold is not a small amount, and I hope you will not regret it in the future. ”
After Lu'er finished speaking, Xia Yan suddenly had a bad feeling.
Wasn't he cheated by Xu Yichen?
He may have known that Shui Ning would not leave with him, so he shouted the sky-high price, in order to increase Shui Ning's value, so that he could break the idea of redeeming Shui Ning.
After all, as a woman, redeeming Shui Ning would not do her much benefit, but would lose a lot of money, which would be more than worth the loss.
What's more, in Xu Yichen's eyes, he may not be able to take out 10,000 taels of gold at all, and even if he does, he is reluctant to spend it on a girl who has only seen two sides.
But...... He really wasn't the kind of person he imagined.
Originally, she wanted to say sorry to Shui Ning, but after listening to Xu Yichen's words, a wave of anger suddenly arose in her heart.
Isn't it just 10,000 taels, she can still get it.
She wants Xu Yichen to see that even if she is a woman, she can still spend thousands of dollars for a beauty.
It's just that...... I'm going to say sorry to Xiaoyi. So much silver has been spent, and the time to redeem it has to be delayed.
Now that she had made up her mind, Xia Yan was no longer entangled, and immediately asked Shui Ning to lead the way to her mother.
"Little boy, do you also want to redeem yourself for Miss Shui Ning?" Seeing that the man in front of her was only twelve or thirteen years old, the mother was a little incredulous, "You are still young, you don't need to discuss this kind of thing with your family?" ”
"Mom, are there any restrictions on the age of guests in your drunken red mansion?" Xia Yan narrowed his eyes, "If that's the case, you're probably too lenient." ”
"It's just a casual question." The mother smiled, "Whether it's a doll waiting to be fed, or an old man in his seventies and eighties, as long as he enters the door of my drunken red mansion, he will be our guest." Not to mention that you are such a handsome young man, even if it is a girl who wants to redeem Shui Ning today, I will not stop it. As long as...... As long as Shui Ning agrees, I will never say anything. ”
The mother said casually but told Xia Yan's little secret, she laughed awkwardly a few times, and said to Shui Ning: "Sister, let me confirm again, you are willing to leave with me." ”
"I do." Shui Ning replied firmly.
"Mom, you can make an offer." Xia Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, she was ready.
"One hundred taels of silver."
Xia Yan stared at her mother's face in surprise, for fear that she was hallucinating, she couldn't help but confirm again: "How much?" ”
"Little master, only one hundred taels of silver." The mother looked at Xia Yan from head to toe, "You shouldn't even have too much silver." If you think it's too much, don't ......"
"Not much, not much." Before her mother finished speaking, Xia Yan took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from her arms and stuffed it into her hand, "Mom, you take this silver ticket, from today on, Sister Shui Ning will no longer be a person who is drunk in the Red Mansion." ”
Then, before she could react, Xia Yan pulled Shui Ning and left.
This set of movements was swift and unobtrusive, as if she was afraid that the mother would regret it.
"Little boy, don't be in a hurry to leave." In the blink of an eye, the two of them had disappeared, and the mother muttered in the back, "I haven't finished talking yet, if you think one hundred taels is too much, you can set the price yourself." ”
It's a pity that Xia Yan didn't hear this, even if she heard it, she wouldn't believe it, and even suspected that this was a trap set by Xu Yichen for her.
Just kidding, how much silver can the Oiran of the Drunken Red Mansion earn for here, if she is ransomed, the loss of this Drunken Red Mansion is not a star and a half, how can her worth only be worth a hundred taels?
On the way back to me, Xia Yan was thinking about this matter, and always felt that the mother might have recognized the wrong person, and mistook Miss Shui Ning for someone else, maybe she was regretting it at this time.
Even if she regrets it, she can't help it, she has already received the silver, and this condensing girl no longer belongs to the Drunken Red Mansion.
But...... I always feel like something is missing......
Suddenly, Xia Yan stood still, frowned and shouted, "Not good!" ”
"Shopkeeper Xia, what's wrong?" Shui Ning was afraid that Xia Yan would suddenly regret it, so she asked cautiously.
"I was just thinking about leaving, and I forgot to ask that mother for your deed of sale for your sister." Xia Yan slapped his head, "How can I forget such an important matter, without the deed of sale, how can I prove that I have redeemed you?" No, I'm going back. ”520
With that, Xia Yan turned around and prepared to go to her mother again.
"Shopkeeper Xia, no need." As soon as Xia Yan raised her feet and walked a few steps, Shui Ning grabbed her, "Mom doesn't have my deed of sale." ”
"Not at Mommy's?" Xia Yan was curious, "Whose hands is that?" ”
Shui Ning didn't answer Xia Yan's question, took her hand and led her into the room, took out a piece of paper from a delicate box and handed it to Xia Yan, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Xia, you put it away." ”
Xia Yan looked down and found that what Shui Ning gave her was a silver ticket of one hundred taels, the silver ticket seemed to have been put away for a long time, and it was slightly yellow, she frowned and asked, "Sister Ning, what do you mean by this?" Do you want to regret it and don't want to leave with me? ”
"No, no, no." Shui Ning was afraid that Xia Yan would be angry, so he hurriedly explained, "You are willing to redeem Shui Ning, Shui Ning is very grateful, how dare you break the bank." ”
Xia Yan understood what Shui Ning meant, she was going to repay the silver she had just redeemed for her.
But according to her character, how could she agree?
"Sister Ning, do you and I need to be polite for this hundred taels of silver?" Xia Yan didn't go to pick up the silver ticket, "This silver ticket, you better take it back." ”
Shui Ning was reluctant to let Xia Yan break the fee for herself, but it can be seen that she insisted on not accepting it, so she could only reluctantly take the silver back.
Xia Yan saw that Shui Ning's movements were elegant, and he didn't look impatient at all, so he couldn't help but ask: "Sister Ning, you haven't got your deed of sale back yet, why aren't you in a hurry at all?" If there is no deed of sale, how can you leave here with me? ”
"Shopkeeper Xia, don't be impatient." Shui Ning chuckled and pulled Xia Yan to sit down, "I have never sold myself to the Drunken Red Mansion, where did I get the deed of sale?" ”
"No?" Xia Yan was stunned, she had never heard that the girl in the Qinglou didn't have to sell herself.
The women who can wronged themselves to enter this kind of place, which one is not a poor person who is desperate, and a few are willing.
If there is no deed of sale, there are a few people who are willing to live in such a place.
"Shui Ning is a good name, and he has never been a lowly person." Shui Ning looked up at the room where she had lived for a long time, "I will stay in this drunken red mansion, but I have nowhere to go." When I first came here, I agreed with my mother that I would live here, and all the money I earned would go to the Drunken Red Mansion, and I would not take a penny, and it would all be the money for living here. Of course, mom is responsible for the day-to-day expenses. Mom doesn't restrict my freedom either, and I can leave at any time. Xu Gongzi's price of 10,000 taels of gold really scared me, that is not a small amount, if it is another girl, my mother may nod and agree. But she really can't do my thing. Actually......"
Speaking of this, Shui Ning seemed to think of something funny, and said with a smile: "Actually, you didn't even need the one hundred taels of silver just now, and my mother just said casually, you can bargain with her." ”
"Sister Ning, you're not an object, why should I bargain with my mother?" Xia Yan raised her eyebrows.
Only then did she know why the silver ticket was yellow, it turned out that it was because Shui Ning had no place to spend the silver, and the silver ticket was probably saved a long time ago.
Knowing that Shui Ning was actually a good book, Xia Yan was indeed a little surprised, and even more admired the special nature of this drunken red mansion.
For the sake of the girls' fate, even a woman like Shui Ning who does not want to be a lowly person dares to accept it, no wonder it is the largest green building in Qin County. With such informality, I'm afraid there is only one in the entire Qin County.
As for the fact that he had an extra hundred taels of silver, although Xia Yan regretted it a little, he didn't think about asking for the silver back.
The silver was given by herself, and if she asked for it now, her mother would not take it out.
She didn't even think about taking Shui Ning's one hundred taels of silver, although her own silver was a little wronged, but no matter how she looked at it, Shui Ning was reluctant to spend it, she was willing to give it to herself, and she didn't know how determined she was.
She was just annoyed that she had left too hastily, and she didn't hear what the mother was shouting from behind.
According to Xia Yan's guess, I am afraid that she is a little stunned, and thinks that she must think that the price she offered is high, and she plans to lower it more.
"Shopkeeper Xia, you ...... You're such a good girl. Shui Ning smiled, "Being able to meet you is a blessing that I have cultivated in several lifetimes." ”
Xia Yan couldn't figure out the meaning of Shui Ning's words, but she was polite, and said with a smile: "Sister Ning, I really didn't help in this matter." You are clearly free, and you can leave whenever you want. I'm just adding fuel to the fire. I guess, sister, you've been planning to leave for a long time. ”
Shui Ning lowered her head, smiled, and acquiesced in Xia Yan's words: "Shopkeeper Xia, if you can trust me, you go back first today, I still have some bags to take care of, and I still need to say goodbye to the girls." When I pack up, I'll look for you on Ruyi Street. If you're afraid I'll run away, then ...... Wait for me right here...... It's just that you have a lot of affairs, and I'm afraid I'll delay your business. ”
Shui Ning is right, Xia Yan does still have a lot of things to do, how can she have time to wait here with her.
So he smiled and said, "Sister Ning, of course I believe you." You just don't say goodbye, and I won't say anything. ”
Bidding farewell to Shui Ning, Xia Yan returned to the Sweet Island.
I thought that Shui Ning would take at least three or four days, but I didn't expect that after only one day, a guy came to report that Shui Ning asked to see him.
