Chapter Eighty-Six: Retreat

Sunny days and good scenery are the most suitable days for shopping.

Yuliang Street is lively,

As the richest prince in Dajian, King Cheng brought hundreds of people into Yuliang, and these people were invited to live in the Shizi Mansion temporarily. Then a large number of Jian'an people came out to shop.

This is undoubtedly an opportunity for Yuliang to make a fortune, the specialties of the north, gold, jade and silverware, Buddhist books and paintings, all kinds of snacks, dough, cold noodles, grilled skewers and other things are all over the street.

On weekdays, the night market in front of the Confucian Temple is only open at night, but now it is already gathered early during the day.

It happened that it was the first day of the new year, and the Kumarosh Temple was also rushing to the market, and people from ten miles and eight towns also gathered into Yuliang, which was the most lively time in Yuliang City.

It's spring again, and it's even more lively.

The proprietress of the jade shop was still chatting with Xiaoying, who was embroidering.

"Who would have thought that it was Ren Baofeng's young owner, if he knew, he shouldn't have talked too much that day, how good it was!

"Hey, boss, if you want me to say, the young marshal is there, if you sell it too much, the young marshal will definitely not agree. It's better not to mess with it! In case the young marshal gets angry, your little shop can't afford it!"

"Look at what you said, but he took out all the silver tickets, then ah, the young marshal is still watching you embroider!"

The woman took a flower and said with a smile: "Listening to the young marshal's words, you know that you are an expert, can you deceive? What's more, even if you take so much, you haven't lost your money!"

The proprietress pouted: "You can't say that, if you can't pay ten pieces of money for what we do, you will lose money!"

"Hee-hee, it's just that I earn less. ”

"That's it!"

As he was talking, a girl came in from outside the door, her big eyes rolling.

With a sword in her hand, she looks like a chivalrous woman. The proprietress received her warmly: "Oh, this girl, what are you looking at? Well, look at this jade pendant, how is the water color, texture? This is a good jade from Hetian over there in Anxi, and the mutton fat jade is ......."

The woman stared at the proprietress and carefully took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and said while opening it: "Boss, take a look, is this one sold by you here?"

Open it and take a look.

"Hey, yes, this is the treasure of our store, and it was bought by a son a few days ago!"

"Daughter, boss, I want to ask, how much did he buy it?"

Xiaoying, who embroidered flowers, couldn't help but turn around and take a closer look at the woman in the blue and black clothes.

The material of this woman's clothes is made of fine Jiangnan brocade silk, which looks ordinary and inconspicuous on the outside, but it is a really good material, it can be said that her clothes are comfortable and soft to wear, and the appearance is not eye-catching, but it belongs to the hidden show.

However, her sword has a chivalrous demeanor in her hand, and it is rare to encounter a neutral dress like hers outside. However, Xiaoying is an embroidery background, and she is also very knowledgeable about clothing, so she naturally knows the benefits of her dress.

A girl going out will easily attract the attention of others, especially those daughters, walking on the street, often attracting the eyes of countless vulgar men, if it is a chivalrous woman, it will be even more attention-grabbing. But this woman knows how to hide it, she is a beautiful woman, which makes people never forget it.

In order not to attract attention, she only needs to wear a hat in this dress, and she immediately looks like an ordinary martial artist walking on the street, and even men and women can't see it!

Xiaoying knows who she is, because there are sisters who are from ready-to-wear stores, and her clothes were also made by her sisters a few days ago. The clothes were not sold cheaply, and they were also bought by a son surnamed Ren.

I wish Xiaoliang ......

The owner of this dress is called Zhu Xiaoliang.

She looked curiously with big eyes and asked the store about the price of the hairpin.

The proprietress was well versed in her chest, and immediately replied: "Hey, this hairpin is not cheap, girl, when that boy bought it, it cost 100,000 taels!"

A cross gesture with both hands.

Zhu Xiaoliang bit his lip and scolded: "It's really, spending money indiscriminately! Where can such a hairpin be worth 100,000 taels! Boss, give me back!"

"Retreat!?"

The proprietress shook her head and smiled, "Girl, this is not good. ”

"No? Why? Where is your hairpin worth 100,000 taels! Isn't it a lie? Believe it or not, I demolished your shop!"

Looking at Zhu Xiaoliang, who was staring wide-eyed, the proprietress was not false at all, and said with a smile, pinching her handkerchief and saying, "Girl, don't worry! Let's talk slowly, come and sit! Xiaoying, go make tea for this girl!"

"No need, return the hairpin!" Zhu Xiaoliang said firmly,

The proprietress said while inviting her to sit: "Girl, sit down first, whether this hairpin is worth 100,000 taels or not, and it depends on the color of the goods, doesn't it? Didn't the boy who gave the hairpin tell you that this is a hairpin with gold and jade! Listen to the girl, you are from Hebei, right?"

"Well, yes. Boss, even Jin Xiangyu didn't sell for 100,000 taels, how much Jin Xiangyu do you have? Even if the whole hairpin is made of Jin Xiangyu, it is not worth 100,000 taels. Such a big one, at most fifty or sixty thousand taels, that's the best!"

"Hey, the girl also understands something? But girl, you see, this golden fragrant jade is red, do you have such golden fragrant jade in Hebei?"

"This ......" This is to the point, there is really no red golden jade for sale in Hebei. But Zhu Xiaoliang still refuted: "Even if it is red, it is impossible to sell it so expensive, and I am talking about the whole one, the year before last, a green gold-scented hosta was produced in Hebei, and the most expensive one sold at the sale in Wushuang City was only 30,000 taels of silver!"

The proprietress smiled: "I wish the girl, drink tea." You are the young lady of Wushuang City, so you naturally know the market for this thing!"

"It's good to know! Boss, I don't care about this matter, just retire the hairpin, and this matter is over!"

The smiling proprietress nodded frequently but did not move, and continued with a smile: "Since you say so, then wish the girl, the slave family will make the words clear!"

"Hmph!" Zhu Xiaoliang saw the proprietress like this, and knew that she had no intention of retreating, so he pressed the long sword on the table as a warning.

But the proprietress was still not afraid, and said with a smile: "I wish the girl, it's not that you can't return, but there are rules in this line! If the buyer wants to return, then bring the box, bring all the things, and let the signed son come and return, and the slave family is allowed to return the 100,000 taels and a lot of it to him, but if you return, it will be different, he is buying my goods, but you haven't bought it, how can I return it? Even if you want to return, you have to return the son, right?"

"This, I didn't take the box! Besides, who will return it or not?"

"Then, can you return the jade shop in Wushuang City casually? Zhu girl is also an expert, right?"

Zhu Xiaoliang bit his lip, but was speechless by what the proprietress said.

......

"If you sell it, my small shop can be collected, but if you return, please ask the girl to find the son, let's meet and confront, look at the goods, take out the bottom list, there are black and white words on it, how can I return it to you." ”

I didn't expect this one.

Look at this golden hosta, it's too expensive, it's hot. Zhu Xiaoliang is even more uncomfortable.

"Hey, fool! How can a hairpin be sold so expensive, people are deceived!"

"Oh, girl, you can't say that!"

Zhu Xiaoliang didn't bother to pay attention to her, and scolded angrily: "You don't let people say anything about the black heart you sold! Forget it, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, I'll go find him to retreat!"

"Go ahead!"

The proprietress raised her brows, pulled her face and ignored her.

The woman took the sword and was about to leave, but it was the embroidered girl Xiaoying who had made tea who just came up with the tea, and said with a smile: "I really envy the girl, if I were you, I wouldn't have returned this hairpin!"

"That's you!

"As the saying goes, a thousand gold is given to a beauty, just for a Pomeranian smile. Naturally, we poor people don't have such blessings, so we envy the girl, there is such a good son who likes you, and is willing to spend a thousand dollars just to make the girl smile!

Zhu Xiaoliang, who was just about to go out, stopped and looked at the show girl Xiaoying. After a little aftertaste, he came back and sat down, and said indignantly: "But you can't lie to him like this, right! How much is this hairpin worth? 100,000 taels!

The proprietress and the embroidery girl winked.

......

"Even if you open a money bank, you can't cheat like this!"

Xiaoying served fragrant tea, invited her to drink tea, and then said gently: "Miss Zhu, how much this hairpin is the same for Ren Gongzi, what he wants to buy is the most expensive goods in our store, in order to give it to Miss Zhu, so it doesn't matter how much money it is to him, the most important thing is that you like it and make you happy!"

In an instant, the young lady blushed, as if she had been poked by someone, and lowered her head with a smile.

The proprietress rolled her eyes, pursed her lips and finally showed a flattering smile.

"I wish the girl, it is the dream of any girl to find a wishful husband who loves you like this. I envy you so much, that Ren Gongzi likes you so much, if you retire the hairpin, how sad Ren Gongzi will be! It's better to wear it on his head and let him take a good look at it, so as to live up to Ren Gongzi's heart!"

"Hmm!"

"It would look even better with another step shake!"

"Really?"

The proprietress picked one and handed it over: "Look at this branch, the begonias are still the same, but the popular style in recent years, I heard that the queen of the dynasty loves this style!"

"Really?"

"And Huasheng!"

"This looks good!"

......

Unconsciously, Zhu Xiaoliang had several hairpins on his head.

After a period of selection, two pieces were finally selected, and in terms of price, because Zhu Xiaoliang was more likely to talk about the price, he bought these two golden hairpins for twenty taels of silver.

After choosing, Zhu Xiaoliang asked them to carefully wrap all the things, and the so-called 100,000 taels of golden incense and jade hairpins were carefully wrapped in a box.

Then I walked around the store again, took a closer look, and finally stopped at a beautifully carved jade pendant.

This piece of jade is of average color, placed in the most inconspicuous position on the counter, this piece of jade pendant is very large, so I picked it up and took a closer look.

At first glance, I realized that although it looked very large, the jade had slight impurities, and there was a large gray rock on the white jade. However, these impurities are on the back of the jade pendant, so I didn't see it before, from the appearance, this piece of white jade is still good, but with impurities, this jade must be worthless.

It's a pity, I wish Xiaoliang pursed his lips, it's a pity.

Xiaoying looked at the proprietress .

The proprietress came over, took a piece of fine jade, handed it to her and said, "Girl, are you going to give it to Ren Gongzi?"

"It's too expensive!"

"Ouch, it's expensive!"

"Boss, that gold-scented hosta has earned so much money from Tianxing, where is your conscience? You still want money for this piece of jade?...... That's it, it's not in line with the rules if you don't give you money, three dollars of silver, if you don't sell it, forget it!"

"One or two will do, right?"

"Three dollars, if you don't sell it, forget it!"

“......”

Seeing that she was leaving, the proprietress hurriedly grabbed her: "Sell! Sell! It's just a girl, don't forget to tell Ren Gongzi that this jade pendant was bought in my shop!"

"Why!?And let him send you money!"

"That's not what I mean, but I can't lose money and not even make a shout, right!?"

"Alright!

I lost my three eldest sons and bought this jade pendant.

......

Watching Zhu Xiaoliang leave, Xiaoying couldn't help sighing: "I really feel sorry for Ren Gongzi, and I spend a thousand gold for Miss Zhu, but Miss Zhu only spends three dollars of silver, and I don't want to have any more!"

The proprietress was not surprised, and laughed: "Hey, this is a man! Before getting married, I was generous enough to give you all the family property, and after I got married...... You're a piece of!"

Xiaoying "......"

On the second day, someone came to the Shizifu and handed over two thousand taels of silver to the proprietress, saying that it was Ren Gongzi's settlement.

The hostess gladly accepted.
