Chapter 001: The Carriage

Feng Gongzi saw an old couple selling a piece of jade pendant on the side of the road, and when he looked at it, the jade pendant was really good, and the workmanship was also very exquisite; When he saw the old man lying on the ground covered with a torn quilt and coughing, he guessed that this was selling ancestral heirlooms to save his life. He has a penchant for bargaining – buying good things at a low price, and he likes to see people look at them in amazement, which is the best compliment to his intelligence and vision.

Therefore, he stopped, knowing that the ancestral heirloom was very likely to be a good thing, but he still pretended to be careless and asked, "How much is this jade pendant?" ”

The old woman looked at him and immediately stood up with a smile on her face, and said very flatteringly: "Childe, look at it, the ancestral heirloom is not a life-saving thing, and it will never be sold, this is a good thing rewarded by the royal family, if it is not for the old man's ......" Speaking of this, she wiped her tears: "We will not sell it." The voice was a little loud, as if he was shouting loudly, and Feng Gongzi frowned when he heard it.

"Our son-in-law asked you how much it was, what do you say so much?" The boy was not very happy when he saw the son, and immediately opened his mouth to prevent the old woman from continuing to complain.

The old woman looked at the boy with wide eyes, and asked loudly, "What did you say?" The boy scolded in vain, and she didn't hear a word at all.

The boy now knows that she speaks loudly behind her ears, and also, seeing that she is so old, it is normal for her to have ear problems, and nine and a half out of ten old people will have bad ears; At that moment, he also said in a very loud voice: "Our son asked you how much is the jade pendant?" ”

The old woman heard it clearly this time, but she didn't answer but turned her head to the old man and shouted: "Master, how much is this jade pendant?!" You repeat. "It seems that it's not just ear memorization, but also bad memory.

The old man who coughed constantly struggled and said, "The ancestral object given by the emperor is fifty taels and eight dollars; The eight dollars can be erased, and the less fifty taels will not be sold. ”

When Feng Gongzi heard this, he looked at the jade pendant in his hand, it was indeed worth fifty taels, and of course he wouldn't give fifty taels so much when he arrived at the pawnshop, but if he got a box or something after cleaning, he would sell it for two hundred taels in his jade shop, or at least two hundred taels - it was still a royal thing for many years, and two hundred taels were less. However, he didn't want to pay fifty taels of silver, believing that the old couple must be waiting for money to save their lives, and they must be in a hurry to sell.

At this time, the old woman shouted at the old man even louder: "How much, old man, you say louder." ”

The old man was a little louder, but he couldn't hear that he couldn't shout a louder voice because he didn't have enough confidence: "Fifty taels and eight coins ......" The next words were replaced by coughing, and the words about the eight coins could be erased were not spoken; It's really not light.

The old woman turned around and had a smile on her face again, and the smile was humble and flattering: "Son, five taels and eight dollars of silver." ”

Feng Gongzi almost dropped his chin to the ground and looked at the jade pendant in his hand - he originally wanted to take a good look, because it was getting late and the light was not good on a cloudy day, so he wanted to make sure before buying, and at the same time wanted to find a flaw to lower the price, but he didn't expect that the old woman's ears were not good and he misheard the price; Even if he lowered the price, it would be impossible to press it below twenty taels, let alone the current five taels of silver?

"Old man, how much is it?" He asked again uncertainly, for fear that his ears had misheard.

The old woman looked at him with some hesitation: "Are you asking for the price?" Five taels and eight pieces of silver. ”

The old man behind her coughed badly, maybe he didn't hear his wife's words, or he might have heard it too late to speak, but such an opportunity was hard to come by: Feng Gongzi immediately took out the silver, and for the first time in his life, he bought something without lowering the price, and he gave more, and threw down six taels of silver and walked away with the jade pendant without looking back.

He walked very quickly, very anxiously, for fear of being overtaken, and when he got to the corner, he called a carriage, just for fear that the old man and the old woman behind him would catch up: he would never add more silver, nor would he return the jade pendant, even if it was the usual jade, he earned it.

He walked too quickly, so he didn't see the old man lying on the ground waiting for death to get up with a bone, and the old woman with a wrinkled face and a thin body with only bones and falling down when the wind blows, the action of cleaning up things is called a neat one: even a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl is not as fast as hers!

The old man and the old woman picked up a few two or three things and turned around and ran, running much faster than Feng Gongzi: they disappeared into the alley after three turns and two turns. Even if Feng Gongzi turned around and came back, he would definitely not be able to catch up with them, let alone find them, because the alleys in this place were in all directions, and people who were not familiar with it would get lost if they went in.

"Well, he ran faster than we did, for fear that we would go to him and ask for silver," the old man ran out of breath, but his voice was not as old as he had just now, but crisp like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-year-old man: "Where would you have thought that the jade was fake?" Xiaoyu, don't run away, divide the money. ”

The old woman Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes, leaned against the wall and looked back: "Can you still be missing-don't just gamble, save some money, hear?" Throwing a tael of silver over, she knew better that Feng Gongzi would not catch up: "He won't be able to find it for a while, his eyes, hey, are almost the same as being blind when he opens his eyes." You take one tael first, and I will save the two taels for you; We don't open every day, sometimes we don't open for a month, and then you'll feel hungry. ”

The old man took the silver and smiled: "Don't I just want to win a lot of money." ”

"Win your big head! It's true to send money to others, and then let me catch you gambling money, and see if I don't beat you off! Xiaoyu tore off her gray hair and threw it to the old man, and wiped it off her face to reveal a little white face, which looked eleven years old at most, where was the old woman who was about to die?

The old man also ripped his hair off, and wiped off the things on his face to reveal the same face as twelve or thirteen years old: "You are as fierce as my mother - I'm not afraid that you won't be able to get married, you can propose to your ruthless father if you win a lot of money, and he will marry you to me ...... soon, alas, you can't be gentle, I tell you, you are so rude and ironclad that you can't get married." It turned out that Xiaoyu gave him a kick hard.

Seeing that he ran away before he finished speaking, Xiaoyu scolded loudly: "You short-lived ghost and lack of virtue, you can't get a wife in your life, you can only make love with your own hands at night!" After scolding, she scattered her hair, rolled the silver into it, and then fixed her hair with a wooden hairpin, shook her head and felt that it was very firm, and looked left and right and walked forward.

After a few turns, the door she pushed open was clearly the door when Feng Gongzi left, and the plaque on the door clearly read three big characters: Jade Building.

This is a green house, and it is the only decent green house in this town. Xiao Yu probed her brain into the door, very careful not to alarm anyone, hoping to sneak back to the kitchen.

"Where did you die again, so many dishes haven't been washed yet, you know to play, play, Ming'er tells your father to see if he doesn't kill you!" A shrill voice rang out, and at the same time, a big hand grabbed Xiaoyu's ear: "Don't wash the dishes for the old lady yet." ”

Xiaoyu laughed and begged for mercy to finally get out, and when she walked to the kitchen, she cursed the fat lady with a thin voice in a low voice: "You deserve to be a kiln sister in this life, no one wants you, and you will be a kiln sister in the next life, and no one will ......redeem you for ten lifetimes" The fat lady didn't hear such vicious words, otherwise she would definitely die of anger.

When she arrived in the kitchen, she threw her arms together and started fighting, because there would be guests coming to the door soon; Just when she had washed half of the dishes and there was a very lively sound in front of her, the fat lady walked in again: "You are a thing that can only eat!" You send a letter from home to ask you to go back - to the old lady to go back quickly, so many dishes you can't finish washing don't want to eat, sleep. ”

Xiao Yu immediately jumped up, ignoring the fat lady's harsh words: "Yes, yes, the little maid will be back soon." "She hasn't been home for five or six days, hasn't seen her mother, and doesn't know if she has been wronged again.

What can she do when she goes home, it's not that she knows that she was paid the day before yesterday; But it's always nice to be able to go home and see her mother, so Xiaoyu doesn't care about anything else.

When I arrived at the door of Wen's house, I actually saw a carriage, although it was not as gorgeous as the carriage of the Jade Building, but it was much larger than the carriage of the Jade Building, and it looked much more pleasing to the eye; She frowned: There are guests at home? But how could that guy from Wen Si get acquainted with someone who owned the carriage?

Seeing Xiaoyu coming back, Ning Shi greeted her first and patted her dress: "Our eldest girl is back ......."

Xiaoyu slapped her hand away unceremoniously: "Take away your paws......" Without finishing scolding, she looked up and saw Wen Si coming over, she immediately smiled so much that a flower could grow on her face: "Where do you dare to work Erniang, Erniang is so hard......" The speed of changing her face is definitely making people think that the one who scolded before was dazzled by herself.

Wen Si smiled so hard that there was a flower on his face, and stepped forward to take Xiaoyu's hand: "My eldest girl is back, are you tired?" Come, sit down; Are you still stunned, don't you want to make tea for our big girl? He was followed by a scolding of Ning's, and then said kind words to Xiaoyu: "Let's eat a snack first, I'll let your mother get your favorite dish tonight, and eat more in a while - it's okay today, is anyone bullying you, tell Dad, Dad will never spare him." ”

Hearing Wen Si's words, Xiao Yu was so shocked that her mouth opened to the maximum, looking at Wen Si was like seeing a monster - transsexual?! That's impossible, she knows what Wen Si is.

Then she looked away from Wen Si's face and walked around the small room, trying to find her mother: what happened to make Wen Si look like a ghost; But her little hands were not idle, and her mouth was not idle, and the snack entered her mouth like running water, and it was amazing that she ate so quickly without choking.

Wan's eyes turned red when she saw it, because only she knew why Xiaoyu had such an amazing "ability": she was hungry; Seeing that in just a few blinks, eight or nine pieces of dim sum in a plate entered Xiaoyu's stomach, so she stepped forward and patted her daughter on the back gently: "I asked you to come back because I have something to tell you." ”
