Hong Xiaoduo turned around and saw the second lady, who had washed herself and dressed up carefully, with two bodyguards behind her.
The shopkeeper who sells inkstones is quite old. Naturally, he can see who the next person is not good at and who he is targeting.
Although the latter one looks richer, it is not easy to get along with him at first glance.
"This inkstone..." The shopkeeper wanted to say that the person who came first was looking at the inkstone, but she hadn't explicitly said she didn't want it.
Hong Xiaoduo interrupted him and said: "I asked about this inkstone first, so it should be sold to me."
"I'll pay you fifty taels, and I want this inkstone." When the second lady heard this, she immediately increased the price. Do you think the shopkeeper would find it too hot to have too much money?
"One hundred taels, this inkstone belongs to me, it's just silver, I can't afford it." Hong Xiaoduo immediately increased the price.
Tianshu and the others on the side were a little anxious. Although they hoped that Hong Xiaoduo would have the upper hand, it would feel painful to have such an upper hand. Throw in so much more money!
When the shopkeeper heard about it, he found out that his square inkstone, which cost more than a dozen taels, had been in the shop for two years. Many people asked about it, but he never met a seller who knew the product well. This one was actually raised to a price of one hundred taels. He looked at Hong Xiaoduo and thought that if it was really this one hundred taels that bought it later, he would secretly return the extra silver to her later. .
When the second lady heard that the other party had increased the price, she started to argue with her, so how could she just let her have her way?
Humph, don’t you have money? Okay, I will raise it a little higher for you, and then let you buy it. Humph, you are far behind in a fight with me!
"Yes, it's just silver. It's like no one can take it out. Shopkeeper, the two hundred taels of this inkstone belongs to me." The second lady had planned in her heart to tease this little lady who didn't know how to live or die.
After saying that, I was still thinking about the price of this inkstone. How much should I ask her to raise? One thousand taels? No, what if it's too high and she can't take it out or put it on?
Then, let’s add it to five or six hundred taels. At the current speed, it only takes a few words and a few rounds.
What Hong Xiaoduo felt from the other party's expression was not a determination to win, but a confident calculation.
Okay, sister, you are a good person and will do your best to the end. Please help your parents teach you!
“Three hundred taels.” Hong Xiaoduo continued to add more with confidence.
At this time, other customers in the shop didn't buy anything either, so they all gathered around.
The people who came to this shop were all literati. From the dispute between the two of them, they had a rough guess. It was not clear why these two young ladies fell in love with each other, but they were certain that these two young ladies were both spoiled and pampered losers who were not taught well at home.
The inkstone was originally one of the four treasures of the study, but it became an object for them to compete for power and wealth. They were really speechless!
"Four hundred taels, everyone here will also bear witness later. If you can find the price, you must really buy it. This is no joke." The second lady continued to add, and at the same time she felt a little excited, thinking in her mind When the other party said the number of five hundred taels, she would not continue to increase the price, so she would have to take out the five hundred taels of inkstones and what her expression would look like when she bought them.
Noticing the excitement in the second lady's tone, Hong Xiaoduo glanced at her and smiled: "Hey, after all, this lady is rich and powerful, and this inkstone belongs to you."
What? Why does it belong to me? The second lady didn't react at all: "I see you are quite arrogant, but why don't you dare to add four hundred taels?"
Hong Xiaoduo said nonchalantly: "What? Yes, it’s very simple. You’re not a arrogant woman. Pay the money quickly. Don’t say you don’t want it. You just reminded everyone to bear witness.”
“You? Are you kidding me? "The second lady was so angry that her face turned red.
Hong Xiaoduo was still smiling: "Don't you want to trick me? It's just that you are unlucky and you are just a step too late. In fact, if you can't get the money, you can just say it, and the store won't make things difficult for you.
Besides, there is no need to feel that there are so many people watching, and you lose face. They don’t know whose family you are, and you didn’t come with a escort flag. “Who said I can’t show it? Who are you calling a scoundrel? Dazhi, pay the money." The second lady was so angry that her hands were shaking.
However, there was no reaction from behind. Looking back, the two escorts looked embarrassed.
"Why don't you pay the money?" The second lady became even more annoyed.
"Back to my wife, we don't have so much money with us." Dazhi took out the two hundred taels of banknotes he had on him and said in a very embarrassed tone.
This banknote was given to him by his senior brother, and it is not his own.
"You." The second lady glared at the two of them fiercely, snatched the banknote from his hand, took out another banknote from her body, slapped them together on the counter, turned around and left .
“Help your second wife take the inkstone back.” Hong Xiaoduo reminded the two escorts who couldn’t wait to leave.
The scolded Dazhi picked up the inkstone in embarrassment and left in a hurry.
"Shopkeeper, maybe you think this money is hot. Don't think so much. I have a mine at home, and you didn't cheat me by giving it to me. Just keep it." Hong Xiao looked at the shopkeeper hesitantly looking at the banknote. Duo joked.
The shopkeeper was a bit dumbfounded: "I have been running a shop for many years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a good thing, so I feel a little uneasy. How about I give you half of it, little lady?"
Hong Xiaoduo waved his hand and refused: "Don't worry, just keep it. Other than her, everyone in her group seems to be reliable. Even if they knew, they wouldn't make trouble. You can't say anything to them if you keep this money. If you really give me half, then people will suspect that we are working together to defraud money.
However, you really should thank me. How about this, the pens, inks, papers and inkstones in your shop too. If you don’t want that great one, just half of it. Give me some for free?” strip, paper.
After a while, Tianshu and Tianquan each carried a big bag and followed Hong Xiaoduo happily. Yaoguang asked seriously if he had a share in the contents of the bag. Yu Heng told her that he did, little guy. He slapped his hands happily.
One and seven children walked around the street and bought some pastries in case they were hungry on the road tomorrow.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the inn, I saw the third senior brother from the escort agency, standing there with an expressionless expression on his hands behind his back.
Hong Xiaoduo put Yaoguang down and told Tianshu to take them back to the room first, but the children stared at the third senior brother warily and refused to go in first.
"Don't worry, he can't beat me." Hong Xiaoduo knew what they were worried about and whispered.
After hearing what she said, Tianshu also spoke, and the children followed him into the inn.
"What, the question of guilt is coming?" Hong Xiaoduo asked...
