Chapter 13: For You
"Boy, buy it, if you don't buy it, leave quickly, don't block the old man's sun!"
He was still looking at the things in front of him with interest, and suddenly heard the napping old man speak, and he couldn't help but be startled. The old man's tone was impatient, obviously sending off a guest.
He was going to leave directly, but when he suddenly glanced at it, he found that there was a white hosta from his daughter's family in the upper left corner, and he didn't notice it. The hairpin is exquisite. He felt that it was suitable for Shi Yu, so he wanted to buy it and give it to her, which was to thank Shi Yu for taking care of him last night.
There was a complete and delicate white hosta in the pile of tattered things, and Shen Guo felt that if he showed that he liked it very much, this old man would definitely ask for a sky-high price, so he pretended not to be interested from Fang Cai until now, and he couldn't look at anything.
The old man opened his mouth first, and then he picked up the hairpin intentionally or unintentionally, glanced at the old man and asked, "Old man, how to sell this hairpin!" โ
Hearing that Shen Guo wanted to buy something, the old man immediately put on a kind smile, how fast and how fast. "Haha, little brother has a good eye! I saw the best thing in my stall at a glance. This hairpin was obtained by the old man with a lot of effort, and it came from the Nanliang court, but it is an excellent thing! โ
The old man spat and introduced his hairpin, which was a bit of a fake description.
"The court?"
Shen Jing directly ignored his words, because he didn't have to think about it to know that the way must have been the old man's nonsense, and he didn't break it, so he listened to it again.
Then, the old man said, "Yes." Look at this texture, this color, that is the finest mutton fat white jade, gold is expensive? โ
As he spoke, he confidently raised three fingers: "This price is only three hundred taels." โ
Hearing the old man's offer, Shen Guo stumbled and almost didn't fall to the ground. It's not that he didn't think that he would sit on the ground and raise the price, but he didn't expect him to dare to ask for three hundred taels when he opened his mouth.
"Three... Three hundred taels? Old man, you mess, it's not worth three hundred taels even if you sell it all! Hmph, I don't want it, you can find other wronged people. โ
Shen Jing's tone was aggressive, and his title changed from an old man to an old man. After speaking, he put down the hairpin and planned to leave.
However, the old man obviously expected it, and did not care about his unkind address, and squeezed out a smile on his face again, and raised the hand he was about to put down again. "Hehe, little brother, don't worry! My reputation for doing business is well-known in this ten streets and eight squares, and the things must be good things, but the price is not suitable, so we can talk about it again. โ
Shen Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and said suspiciously: "Can you really talk about it?" โ
"Of course. Why don't you make a bid? If it's suitable, let's make a deal, how about it? โ
Hearing the old man's relenting mouth, he knew that he was halfway there. The white hosta in his mosuo hand thought about it and showed a harmless smile again: "If you want me to bid, then, three taels." To sell or not to sell? โ
At this time, it was the turn of the old man to stumble, he showed a painful expression, and then stroked his chin and beard and said, "Little brother, you can give three taels of three hundred taels... Isn't it, a little less! โ
Seeing that he hesitated, Shen Jing was ready to put down his things and leave. Seeing this, the old man hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Hey, little brother, how about five taels, five taels?" I'll give you something for five taels. After that, he lowered his head and looked for it in the stall: "This! Five taels, this hairpin and this piece of jade are given to you! โ
"This jade is just a fragment, old man, you want to scold me again?"
The old man was in a hurry to take something from the stall, but most of his stalls were tattered objects, and this broken jade was already half a good thing.
"Hey~! How could I lie to you, this broken jade is one of the keys to unlock a treasure, there are five keys in total, and this is one of them. Originally, I sold one hundred taels, but now the two are five taels together. I don't deceive the price of this child, you can't find a second one in the whole Dama Street. โ
This old man can still tell a lie in a very serious tone, and Shen Jing feels funny when he listens to it. What treasure and what key, the old man deceived him with a trick to deceive the child, which really made him a little ridiculous. However, five taels of silver can be afforded to him, and the most important thing is the hairpin, which is also worth five taels.
So, after a moment of pretended painful contemplation, he saw that the old man did not let go of his mouth and answered.
After the old man got the broken silver handed over by Shen Kuang, he smiled and said, "Little brother, use my hairpin to send the girl." The girl will love it! โ
Shen Kuang took the hairpin, looked at the broken jade again, flipped through it back and forth, and found that there was really nothing special, it was just a piece of broken jade, so he put it away.
Over there, Shi Yu, who was buying herbs in the shop, also happened to come out, and when he saw Shen Jing chatting with an old man on the street, he waved and shouted: "Brother Shen!" โ
The old man also happened to see Shi Yu who came out, and smiled: "The girl doll is delicate, you kid is also very delicate, hahaha!" โ
"Brother Shen, what are you doing?"
He originally planned to give the hairpin to Shi Yu on the way back, but she happened to see it at this moment, so Shen Guo simply gave it to her directly.
"I bought you a hairpin, see if you like it or not!"
Shi Yu couldn't believe it at first, but when he saw that Shen Jing was really holding a hairpin from his daughter's home, his little face turned red for a moment, and he hesitated for a while before shyly reaching out his hand and taking the hairpin he handed over. "I... I love it! Thank you, Brother Shen. โ
The old man on the side looked at the movements of the two of them with no shame, and when he saw Shi Yu's appearance, he couldn't help but laugh again: "Female doll, my hairpin is a good thing, put it away!" โ
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
After that, he and Shi Yu wandered along Dama Street all the way to Dongcheng! The atmosphere of life on Dama Street is very strong, because the people gathered here are all lower-class residents in Qiuluo City, so they deal with things related to food and clothing such as firewood, rice, oil and salt, and therefore, it makes Shen feel better.
As you head east along Tama Street, there are fewer stalls on the streets, and the items sold around you become more elaborate and valuable. All the way to Dunhua Hall, then turn left into Yongfeng Street, keep going forward, and it won't be long before there is no wine.
The liquor shop selling Fu Yuchun is north of Chengyi Fang in Dongcheng, close to Changle Fang, because it is not on the way, so he plans to go back to Wujiu and put down his things and go over.
Along the way, Shi Yu's face was filled with a happy smile. Soon after getting the hairpin, she asked Shen Jing to help her plug it in, and the hanging ornament on the hairpin swayed as she walked.
The white hosta itself is still good-looking, and it is also suitable for Shi Yu's well-behaved temperament, so the little girl is very cute with it. The texture of the jade is also very good, as for whether it is mutton fat white jade, and whether it is an object of the Nanliang court, he has not delved into it, because most of it is not possible.
