Xia Ruixi shook his head resolutely: "I'm sorry, Miss Nine, I can't help you." ”

Rong Shi said disappointedly: "I hope you can discuss it with Lord Ou, my sixth brother just worshiped General Hu Benzhonglang, and he still loves me very much, if we cooperate, I can introduce Lord Ou to him......"

"Miss Xie Jiu is kind, my husband Junzhi is not here." Xia Ruixi bluntly rejected Rong's. This stupid kid is really straight, he doesn't speak tactfully at all, even if it's tempting, he has to change a nice way to make people sound comfortable, so it's easy to accept, so ** bare ground, but no one likes it.

"That's it......" Rong Shi was a little helpless, looked at the dust floating up and down in the air in confusion, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you like money and power?" "How don't I like it? I just don't dare to touch your light. Xia Ruixi smiled and sent Rong out of the house, and asked Liang'er to send a return gift, but it was two fine kudzu yarn and two boxes of moon cakes, and the value of kudzu yarn was enough to be worth the jade plate that Rong gave to Da'er.

In this way, Xia Ruixi didn't plan to cooperate with him at all, and Rong was so disappointed that he had to leave.

Xia Ruixi sent Xia Ruibei back to Xia's house, had dinner at Xia's house, and only went home when the lamp was turned on. When the car arrived at Wenyuan Street, he saw two horses tied in front of his house from a distance, and the old man opened the door and said, "Madam, there is a guest at home, General Liu suddenly came." ”

Xia Ruixi hurriedly entered the house, and while washing his face and changing clothes, he asked Liang'er to ask Ou Qingjin, do you want to prepare a banquet?

Liang'er came back and said that Liu Lizi had only come after dinner and was about to leave, so she didn't have to bother.

Two moments later, Liu Lizi resigned, and Ou Qingjin came in with a wooden box: "Did the Rong family come to look for you today?" ”

Xia Ruixi leaned on the collapse and turned a page of the book: "Yes, she wants to give me half of the equity of the Scribe Tea House, saying that she is responsible for the purchase channel, and I will run it for her, and I will divide it fifty-fifty." also said that he wanted to introduce you to Rong Liu, but I refused. Then he told the story of the day in detail.

Ou Qingjin sat down and took the book in her hand: "How many times have I told you, the lights are not on at night, don't read the book, it hurts your eyes." Why don't you always listen? Even if you want to see it, you don't know how many lights to light more. ”

Xia Ruixi smiled and hugged his neck: "I know, I'm getting more and more verbose." What did General Liu ask you for? Ou Qingjin handed her the wooden box: "You open it and take a look." ”

A very ordinary boxwood box, boxy, with no carved ornamentation. Xia Ruixi opened it curiously, the lid of the box was opened, and his eyes were full of luxury, and there were ten crystal round, thumb-sized, golden and silver southern pearls lying quietly on the red satin. In terms of size, this bead is not very large, but it is rare to be of average size and uniform color.

Xia Ruixi estimated: "This bead, in normal years, one is about worth four or five thousand taels, and ten is about forty or fifty thousand taels, because of the general size, it is not an exaggeration to value about sixty thousand taels." She didn't understand these things, and she was forced to learn by Mrs. Xia.

"Liu Lizi gave it, let's take down the Rong family's tea house." Ou Qingjin picked up one and put it under the lamp to check it carefully, and it was indeed a good pearl. In the troubled times, military generals like Liu Lizi, attacking cities and plundering land, are one of the easiest people to obtain these treasures. It's not unusual for him to be able to come up with such beads.

Xia Ruixi smelled the gossip, and his eyes sparkled: "Why? Why is he so generous? I don't believe he wants to do business. ”

Ou Qingjin smiled and scratched her nose: "What do you care about so much?" Just do it. Tomorrow you will go to the Rong family and ask her how much it costs to sell her tea house. ”

Xia Ruixi was a little embarrassed: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I want to go to the old house." Also, she bragged that in the past few months since she came, she has earned 30,000 taels, and she will definitely sit on the ground and start the price. And what if she wanted cash? You can't give her all the cash in the house, let's live with these ten slippery beads, right? ”

Jewelry and jewelry can only be sold at a starting price during the Taiping period, and to be honest, gold and silver are the best.

Ou Qing coaxed her: "Over there in the old house, I'll let Changshou go and say it, let's go later." She's going to get up the day after tomorrow, and she's in a hurry. As long as you hold on to her death hole, she can't help but agree. Remember not to say that it was General Liu's meaning, and don't mention this matter to others. ”

He pondered: "If she still thinks that this pearl is not worth enough and wants to add it, we will add it." It should be regarded as repaying Liu Lizi's favor, anyway, we owe him a lot of favors. Let him accept our affection, so that he can do things in the future. ”

Anyway, it is to achieve Liu Lizi's wish no matter what, Xia Ruixi gossiped and asked Ou Qingjin: "Will General Liu mean that?" Well, you are often with him and really don't know anything about it? ”

Ou Qing said solemnly: "She often goes to General Liu, but every time the two of them have to quarrel." is often scolded by General Liu regardless of his feelings, and after he gets angry, he wants to look for it again, but since Beibei's accident, she has never gone again. I heard that after she came back, General Liu went to see her, but she didn't see her. General Liu probably felt that he had broken up her women's army and made her suffer, and he wanted to compensate her, but he was afraid of causing misunderstanding, so he passed through your hands, right? ”

In terms of Liu Lizi's character, doing this step is already benevolent and righteous. Rong may not have no thoughts about her, but even if he really has thoughts about Rong, he will not act. He is ambitious, he is a close minister of the emperor, and naturally he will not be stupid enough to marry Rong Shuai.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xia Ruixi asked Hua Laohu to set up a car, and took Liang'er to Wen's Tea House to find Rong's. She made up her mind that if she wanted to give this bead to the Rong family, it would only be possible to push the price down heavily, anyway, she would not use the cash for favors.

The Rong family had just gotten up, and when he heard that Xia Ruixi was coming, he happily welcomed her in, and let the grandmother in the palace avoid it with a calm face. The grandmother just wanted to argue a few sentences, but was surprised to see the inkstone in Rong's hand, and hurriedly retreated in three steps and two steps, secretly hating in her heart, waiting to return to the capital to see how she cleaned up Rong's.

Xia Ruixi saw Rong's hideous face, and grabbed the inkstone tightly, and chuckled: "I discussed the matter that Miss Nine told me yesterday. ”

Rong slowly put down the inkstone in his hand and cheered up: "How?" ”

"I don't know what Miss Nine is asking for?"

"Forty thousand taels." The Lion of the Rong opened his mouth. She put all the Zhuangzi down, including the tea stored in the warehouse, which is only worth 20,000 taels of silver, she said that she gave half of the equity to Xia Ruixi, and everyone will share it in the future, in fact, it is full of Xia Ruixi's money and Xia Ruixi's people to help her earn silver.

A good-hearted and ruthless woman who treats others as wronged people.

Xia Ruixi quietly blew a mouthful of tea foam: "Miss Jiu, in business, as far as I know, your Zhuangzi, including the tea stored in the warehouse, is not worth this amount of money." If you really want to do this business, please be sincere. If you can't talk about it, it doesn't matter, we're still friends. ”

Rong was unwilling: "But I'm responsible for the purchase, if I don't help you, you won't be able to buy the goods." Now that the war is in chaos, you will know by looking at other tea houses. Moreover, you can't do the math, this tea is worth this amount of money now, and you can sell it far more than that. ”

Xia Ruixi put down the teacup in his hand: "You're right, now the war is in chaos, the business is not good, and the supply is unstable." But excuse me, how long can it be messed up? Dading is not far away, at most a year, at least half a year, I can open a bigger tea house by myself, why do I have to work for you? Besides, if you earn a piece of tea and give it to me, what will I earn? If I want to dispose of this batch of tea, I still have to pay for nothing, so I can't give you all the benefits, right? ”

Her words completely hit Rong's, and Rong's pursed his lips: "Then how much do you say it's worth?" ”

Xia Ruixi said with a smile: "I want the entire tea house, Miss Nine will have nothing to do with this tea house in the future, if you are willing, let's change it again, if you are unwilling, I can also help you ask if there are others who are willing to cooperate with you." I still have this kind of heart. ”

Rong stared at Xia Ruixi and didn't speak, Xia Ruixi looked at her calmly and spit out lightly: "If you want, the price can be negotiated." ”

Rong hesitated, gritted his teeth and said: "Fifty thousand taels, and the old mansion of the Shang family will be given to you." ”

Xia Ruixi spit out a sentence lightly: "Thirty thousand taels, the old house of the Shang family cannot be less, and the tea in the warehouse cannot be missing." ”

Rong's was really too little, and said hurriedly: "Forty thousand taels, no less." ”

"Thirty-five thousand taels!"

Rong's lowered his head and counted for a long time, or she earned it, she will leave tomorrow, and if she doesn't get rid of it, she won't have a chance, otherwise who won't know the surname of this tea house in the future. So he looked up: "Okay! Deal! ”

"Deal!" Xia Ruixi swore by high-fives with her, and said with a smile: "However, I don't have any cash, and our family's money was scraped by Zhao Mingtao during the siege." Only the ten beads that were used for the original marriage can be held. ”

Rong's face changed: "Are you making fun of me?" ”‘

Xia Ruixi sneered: "I'm making fun of you?" I think Miss Nine wronged me. Liang'er got her eyes, opened the box and put it on the table and stepped back. ”

Xia Ruixi picked up a bead and handed it to Rong: "How does Miss Nine look at this bead?" ”

Rong Shi turned his head and said firmly: "I don't understand!" ”

Xia Ruixi smiled and put away the box: "Miss Jiu can ask someone who understands to come and see, it's not that I'm exaggerating, if it's a rich year, this bead is worth six thousand taels is not an exaggeration." One or two are not rare, but the same ten are on the market together, and the price is far more than that, if it weren't for the fact that I also want to borrow the tea set in your Zhuangzi to support my family, I would be reluctant to take it out. Now that the silver ticket is worthless, is it possible that Miss Nine has to carry several large boxes of silver or a large box of gold on the road? This thing is small and easy to carry, and after entering the capital, I will find a big silver building and sell it...... Hehe, Miss Nine is a smart person, so I don't need to say more. Don't doubt it, I'll be willing to give it up for so much money, just to make a friend. ”

Rong was moved by Xia Ruixi's words, and when he saw that she was leaving, he hurriedly said, "What are you anxious about?" Let me find someone to take a look at it first? ”

The final result was naturally that Xia Ruixi completed the task gloriously. She took the newly written deed and the title deed of the monk's old house, and returned home with a smile.

Ou Qingjin immediately sent the deed to Liu Lizi, and finally took it back: "He asked me to help him continue to build the tea house in your name, and the deed and title deed of the Shang family's old house are the color head." Wait for someone to quietly send this to my sister. ”

He touched his chin and smiled: "Liu Lizi is already planning for the future, and there are many people who want to come to the upstarts who have this kind of idea about him." I'm going to have to take advantage of my death to find a way to pull him and the others into doing some big business together, so that these upstarts can keep us doing business and making money. ”

Xia Ruixi chirped: "One is better than the other." ”

Ou Qingjin picked her up and circled: "Don't you want to build a canopy covered with glass, where you can watch the stars and the moon in summer and the snow in winter?" I promised you, and I will do it. ”

Xia Ruixi slapped his shoulder: "It's dizzy, hurry up, change clothes quickly, the family must be in a hurry, I promised my sister-in-law to help." ”
