Jun Xinlan raised her eyebrows slightly, glared at the gray-haired woman in black coarse cloth, and reminded her: "If the charcoal you bought this time is not good to burn, it will be deducted from your salary." ”

After hearing this, Ji Qingge inevitably had doubts in his heart.

No matter what Ji Mochu said, he was still a sixth-rank low-level military attaché. I am afraid that the charcoal he receives every year is enough for their family to burn for two or three winters. Where do you still use charcoal for heating?

The maid chose the charcoal and handed it to the charcoal seller.

The face of the charcoal seller, who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, showed a sincere smile, and said: "This lady, everyone who has bought charcoal here knows it. This charcoal is not weighed. A basket of charcoal, three taels of silver......"

"Three taels of silver?"

Jun Xinlan's blood-red mouth was wide open, revealing an unbelievable expression on her face, and asked in a sharp voice: "You charcoal seller, you old thing with a black conscience."

It costs three taels of silver!

Relying on the cold weather to ask for a price, you are not afraid of being struck by lightning? ”

As she was talking, Jun Xinlan quickly put away the oil-paper umbrella, pointed at the crowd of onlookers with the oil-paper umbrella in a splash, and asked in a harsh voice:

"The big guys are coming to see, they're all coming to see. This old man's charcoal, he asked for three taels of silver. Ha ha! Just this idea of charcoal costs three taels of silver?

I said, why don't you grab it? ”

"That is, this idea of charcoal costs three taels of silver. This is what kind of charcoal is sold, and it is clearly to drink human blood. The maid beside Jun Xinlan also took the opportunity to help her master speak.

Ji Qingge was just about to step forward to persuade her, when suddenly a hand was on her right shoulder. Except for Di Jinxuan, no other man would dare to pat her on the shoulder in front of the public.

Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she whispered coquettishly: "Just go, don't worry." ”

"Cold, go back."

From the moment she got out of the carriage, he was secretly watching her from the carriage. watched her hurriedly rush towards the Jun woman, but when she was about to approach the other party, she forcibly stopped her steps.

The faint sadness on her beautiful face, as well as the helplessness that swept under her eyes, were all visible to him.

He came to her because he was afraid that she would get cold. Seeing that she was still staring at Jun Xinlan who was sprinkling, he couldn't help but remind again: "Jun's family didn't come to buy charcoal at all, you look at her, can she be concerned about charcoal from beginning to end?" ”

"I understand."

Of course, Ji Qingge knew that the Jun family would not be short of charcoal. Even if it is lacking, a person like her who picks the door may not be willing to spend money to buy charcoal.

In the years when the Jun clan lived in the General's Mansion, she had only seen the Jun clan sell furniture and other items in the General's Mansion, how could she ever see them willing to spend money to add some items?

Never.

Now the Jun family dares to play tricks on the street, most of them are also deliberately looking for fault.

Presumably, the charcoal seller should have some relationship with Ji Mochu's family.

I saw the charcoal seller let out a long sigh, and a light of resentment flashed under his eyes. Neither humble nor arrogant replied: "This lady, you keep saying that the old decay has a black conscience, may I ask, have you carefully observed the decayed charcoal?" ”

The charcoal seller picked up a long piece of charcoal in his right hand, handed it to the person next to him, and said, "The big guy can take it in his hand and weigh it." How heavy and firm this charcoal is. Is it worth the price? Yes. ”

At this moment, a strong man in black stood out from the crowd, with a beard. The strong man took the piece of charcoal from the charcoal seller's hand, struck it, and said, "Yes, firm." ”

The strong man told the onlookers, "This charcoal, the tighter it is, the more resistant it is." For this quality, his basket of charcoal was sold for three taels of silver, which was also worth it. ”

"That's charcoal, it's worth the price. The charcoal that my old man received is very resistant to burning, which is similar to the charcoal of my father. ”

A middle-aged woman in the crowd chimed in.

"Hmm." The strong man in black showed everyone the cross-section of the charcoal, and said, "The big guys all look at the luster of his charcoal, how bright it is, isn't it?" With such charcoal, it burns with less smoke, and the fire power is large and stable. ”

After speaking, the strong man in black also knocked on the charcoal to let the man next to him listen to the sound. Said: "This sound is crisp enough, right?" ”

"It's quite loud." The young man nodded.

"So, this daddy's charcoal is worth that price. Thousands worth a lot. ”

After the strong man finished speaking, he returned the charcoal in his hand to the old man who sold charcoal, took out ten taels of silver to the old man, and said, "Daddy, I want your charcoal." It's just that I didn't prepare a carriage when I went out today, so I asked my father to help me run and deliver charcoal to my house. ”

The charcoal seller looked stunned and asked, "This, this is the most refreshing young master that Lao Yu has met since he sold charcoal." This lord, where is your mansion? The old decay will send charcoal to your mansion. ”

After speaking, the charcoal seller returned some of the silver taels to the strong man, and said: "The old man has always been very disciplined in doing business, and he has always been a child who is not bullied. You keep the money. Charcoal, I'll give it to you. ”

"Haha, Daddy. Love for love, money for money. On top of human affection, don't talk about money, it will hurt your feelings. The strong man refused the old man's gift, whispered a few words in his ear, and then turned away.

Looking at the figure of the strong man in black in the distance, Ji Qingge suddenly remembered. The strong man...... Isn't it the little military attache who followed Yan Li to the Ji Mansion and looked for Ji Mochu?

Heh, he's really a righteous person.

The charcoal seller carried a charcoal basket on his back, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked towards the southeast with steady steps. The two steady footprints he left on the snow were soon covered by the snow that had never appeared.

And the crowd of onlookers also consciously dispersed after the charcoal seller left.

It's just that before leaving, a few women also smashed the Jun woman and the maid with their fingers. What he said was also extraordinarily unkind.

"Don't ask, you woman, if you can't afford charcoal. Daddy, who has wronged charcoal for no reason, where is your conscience? "There was a woman in a pale green robe, and she counted down Jun Xinlan Road.

That is, buying and selling, one is willing to buy, and the other is willing to sell. It is not easy for people's fathers to sell charcoal on a snowy day at the bridge.

If you buy it, you buy it, and if you don't buy it, you will take a detour.

Who didn't force you to do anything.

You're shouting here, who owes you anything, or what? ”

A woman carrying a vegetable basket looked at Jun Xinlan with disdain and said.

was ridiculed by everyone, and Jun had to pick up her oil-paper umbrella again and walked away. The umbrella was pulled down and couldn't be lowered, as if it wasn't meant to block the falling snowflakes at all, but to shield her head, which she couldn't lift.

After the Jun woman left, a word came from the crowd.

"Huh? Are you saying that the woman who was almost killed a few days ago was killed by the same woman who had just come here to buy charcoal? Why did she do such a poisonous thing, if it weren't for the charcoal seller father who passed by outside the Du Mansion to save the woman, I'm just afraid...... was killed. ”
