Chapter 34: The Profiteers
Just listening to the description of the spring breeze and autumn frost, Xia Yu has already begun to roll up her arms and sleeves, looking like she is going up to fight, if she is also present at the time, I am afraid that she will smash other people's shops.
"Hmph, seeing that we are all women, I think it's easy to bully, right? Just let Xia Yu's fist tell them that women are not easy to bully! Saying that, Xia Yu was about to rush out as soon as she threw the broom, if it wasn't for Xia Yu's fast pulling, I'm afraid she would have rushed to the door.
"What's so noisy!" Bai Lilan, who had just taken a nap, had slightly wet eyes, a lazy expression, and a charming look. I wanted to take a nap, but Xia Yu's voice was so loud that Bai Lilan had to come out to take a look.
Seeing that he had woken up Baili Lan, Xia Yu hurriedly lowered his head guiltily and said angrily, "It's all because the slave maid has a loud voice and woke up the county lord." However, the slaves and maids really can't swallow this breath, and they must be counted! ”
In fact, Bai Lilan just heard about it. However, in her opinion, this is not a big deal at all, and there is no need to be so excited. Baililan's consistent style is to simplify the complex, move things with his mouth, and never reach out to fight. Of course, if she encounters stubbornness, she still chooses to solve it with a fist.
"Well, I'll go with you. It's just a black businessman, why be angry like this. ”
Seeing that Baili Lan was not in a hurry, several girls also relaxed slightly. Baili Lan has such magic, in her words and deeds, she can influence the people around her, and she can't help but follow her footsteps.
After recombing Baililan's hair, the group went to a shop at the mouth of the river. The store was not large, but the location was very good, which made Baili Lan stare at it for a long time before entering the door.
"Yo, it turned out that a distinguished guest came to the door, hurry up and ...... inside" A fat woman approached with a smile on her face, but when she found Chunfeng and the others, she immediately pulled down her face, "Why are you again, haven't you made it clear?" If you want to buy it, you can pay for it, or you will wait to be frozen! ”
"What a wealthy boss dares to intimidate guests!" Bai Lilan didn't look at the proprietress and her eyes fell on the goods in the store casually, looking careless, but her whole body exuded a Ling Ran aura, which made her dare not be easily angered.
The cunning eyes looked Baili Lan up and down, the proprietress was also a shrewd person, and she knew what kind of person she couldn't afford to mess with, so she stood still for the time being, stepped forward and squinted her eyes and said, "If it's a guest, we will naturally welcome it with a smile." But if you come to find fault, our family is not easy to bully! I don't dare to say anything else in most of the capital, but the platform above us is very stable, and ordinary people can't touch it! ”
The proprietress still wanted to say something false, but when she saw Bai Lilan shoot out a silver ticket of one thousand taels, her mouth immediately opened round, and then she swallowed her saliva vigorously, staring at the silver ticket tightly, as if she was afraid that it would fly.
"See clearly, we are not ordinary people, we can't afford the money, so let's hurry up and prepare!" Seeing the greedy expression of the proprietress, Xia Yu was angry, crossed his waist, blocked in front of the proprietress, and said loudly.
With a slap on the head, the proprietress said in pieces, "Ouch, look at me, look at me, I'm all busy!" A few nobles here, please, please wait, the old body will go to the back to prepare! With that, the proprietress turned around and was about to rush into the backyard. It was only when she ran to the door that she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to ask a question.
"This girl, do you want the best cotton wool?"
"Naturally, load all the good cotton wool you have here and get ready, if the silver is not enough, I can add it."
As soon as she heard this, the proprietress was overjoyed, and even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened a lot, "Okay, my cotton here is mostly the best, you can rest assured!" ”
Seeing the proprietress dodge into the backyard, Xia Yu said reluctantly, "County Lord, that old woman is so hateful, why do you still buy his cotton!" ”
"Don't ask so much, the county lord himself has the county lord's plan." Qiushuang dragged Xia Yu and said with a smile.
Looking at Qiu Shuang, who was smiling lightly, and then looking at the spring breeze that suddenly came to an enlightened sense, Xia Yu lowered his shoulders in frustration and said depressedly, "Okay, okay, you are all smart people, and I am the only one who is still in the dark." I'll read more books when I get back, maybe next time I'll come up with a clever plan first! ”
The master and servant were discussing in the front hall, and the proprietress and the guys were busy in the back. Although it is no longer the hottest day of the year, the sun at noon is still very hot, and after a while, the back is scorching. But thinking that she would be able to get a sum of money right away, even if the proprietress was sweating like rain, she was willing to do it.
After a little half a day, the proprietress finally prepared all the goods and piled them up in the backyard, waiting for Baili Lan's speech.
"Girl, we've got everything you want, but now load it into the carriage?"
Because of sweating, the boss's fat face is even more greasy, making it impossible to look at it directly.
Hanging her head slightly, Bai Lilan supported her forehead with her fingers, and said indifferently, "Since I bought something from you, do I need to inspect the goods in advance?" ”
"Huh? Oh yes, yes, that's as it should be, as it should be! It's all to blame for my negligence just now, and I forgot to show you a look. Wait a minute, I'll come when I go! "If it were usual, how could the proprietress have such good patience, if it weren't for the fact that a thousand taels of silver tickets were swaying in the wind, she would have kicked out Baili Lan and the others a long time ago!
Turned around and went back to the backyard, took a piece of fine cotton wool and returned to Baili Lan, and said with a smiling face, "Girl, look, our cotton here is white and flawless, soft and free of impurities, and it is also famous in most capitals!" If you buy it from me, you can put twelve hearts! ”
Twisting a ball of cotton with her fingertips, Baili Lan squinted at the sun for a moment, then stuffed the ball of cotton back into the hands of the proprietress, and said expressionlessly, "No, this cotton feels bad, I don't want it!" ”
"What did you say!" The proprietress immediately changed her face, and said angrily with a fierce face, "What kind of place is this for you to be an old lady, come and go if you want." Since you ordered 1,000 taels of cotton, you have to leave all the money for the old lady! ”
Hearing the roar of the proprietress, four house slaves immediately ran from the backyard, each fierce and vicious, with big shoulders and round waists, standing in front of Baili Lan and the others, looking extremely delicate.
With the backstage support, the proprietress looked at Baili Lan proudly, raised her arms and said, "If you want me to return in vain, there is no way!" If you know each other, hand over the money quickly, otherwise the old lady will not even be able to take the cotton away after a while! ”
"What's wrong with returning in vain, don't you also let my people return in vain?" Bai Lilan didn't take the other party's intimidation in his eyes at all, and said in a casual voice.
After listening to Baililan's words, the proprietress fully understood, and the woman was angry for her subordinates, and she had no intention of buying or selling!
Thinking that she was calculated by such a girl, the proprietress was furious, waved her wrist, and ordered backwards, "Grab them for me and sell them to Goolan Courtyard!" ”
"Heh, it's all you, do you want others to do business."
As soon as the proprietress finished speaking, she heard a voice like a light breeze. The voice seemed to have magical power, which could instantly soothe all resentment and dissatisfaction in people's hearts and dispel evil thoughts in their hearts. However, Bai Lilan frowned at this voice.
With two swipes of his wrist, he saw Tang Ling appear in front of everyone with a smile on his face, only Bai Lilan still had his back to him, and seemed to be not very satisfied with his way of appearing.
The proprietress thought that the owner of this voice would be a kind of character, but she didn't want to appear just a wheelchair disabled, and now the contempt in her heart gradually rose, and she snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Really, when I am in a place here, how can any kind of person dare to come in!" Big bull, get that cripple out of here! ”
"Bang bang,"
Before the words fell, the proprietress felt a sharp pain on her face. Stretched out her hand to cover it, and there was a slippery feeling in her palm, which made her look at it in shock, and found that there was a ball of blood in her palm, and the corners of her mouth were cracked!
Standing in front of Tang Lingshuang, the little servant Atai angrily pointed at the proprietress and reprimanded, "Unscrupulous profiteers, don't talk about harming the people, you dare to slander my son-in-law!" If I don't teach you a lesson today, you still think that most of this is your world! ”
The house slaves behind the proprietress saw that Atai was superb, and they didn't dare to step forward to help, took two steps back, and ran out one after another, no longer paying attention to the proprietress who was half lying on the ground.
"Murder, murder! You're robbers! Seeing that she was alone, the proprietress was frightened, and began to sit on the ground and cry, hoping that after the people outside heard it, they could report to the official or come in to see righteousness and bravery. But this proprietress is a victim of the township on weekdays, rampant and domineering, and others wish that someone would come forward to teach her a lesson, how can she come forward to save her at this moment, and it's good not to laugh and watch the excitement on the sidelines!
In the midst of the proprietress crying miserably, Baili Lan squatted down in front of her, her eyes full of temptation, like guiding a lost goat. But today this fat sheep is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"Hey, you're a distant relative of the Shangguan family, right?"
Listening to Bai Lilan's "mention", the proprietress realized that there was a big backer behind her, so she immediately stopped crying, raised her neck, and said with a meaty face, "That's right, my uncle's eldest brother's third cousin is the national teacher of Nanzhao!" How's that, I'm afraid! If you know each other, quickly kowtow to me to apologize, maybe the old lady is in a good mood and can beat you dozens of boards less! ”
Bai Lilan tilted her head slightly, and the look on her face was even more charming. At the moment, she seemed to be in a good mood, like seeing a big fish and taking the bait. It's just that Baili Lan said something that made the proprietress very confused.
"It's a nice gift and I'm very satisfied." Slowly standing up straight, Baili Lan explained to Qiu Shuang beside him, "You go and prepare a letter of identity, state the viciousness of this woman one by one, and then use the name of my Baili Lan in Beining, unite most of the people who are also persecuted by it, and hand the letter to Lord Sun together." ”
