Chapter 13 is for you

"Boy, if you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, leave quickly. Don't block my sunshine!"

He was still looking at the things in front of him with interest when he suddenly heard the napping old man speak and was startled. The old man's tone was impatient, and he was obviously seeing off a guest.

He originally planned to leave directly, but suddenly he took a glance and found that there was a white jade hairpin for his daughter in the upper left corner, which he had not noticed before. The hairpin is very delicate. He thought it suited Shigure, so he wanted to buy it for her as a thank you for Shigure's care last night.

Among the pile of tattered things was a complete and exquisite white jade hairpin. Shen Kuang felt that if he showed that he liked the old man very much, he would ask for a lot of money, so he pretended not to be interested and couldn't look at anything from just now until now. superior.

The old man spoke first, then he picked up the hairpin intentionally or unintentionally, glanced at the old man and asked, "Old man, how can I sell this hairpin!"

Hearing that Shen Kuang wanted to buy something, the old man immediately put on a kind smile and asked for it as quickly as possible. "Haha, little brother, you have a good eye! You saw the best thing in my stall at a glance. This hairpin is something I spent a lot of effort to get. It comes from the Nanliang palace, and it is an excellent thing!"

The old man introduced his hairpin with saliva, but the description was a bit false.

"palace?"

Shen Kuang simply ignored his words, because he knew without even thinking that the old man must have made up the story. He didn't point it out and continued to listen.

Then, the old man said again, "That's right. Look at the texture and color. It's the finest mutton-fat white jade. How precious is it?"

As he spoke, he raised three fingers confidently, "The price is only three hundred taels."

Hearing the old man's quotation, Shen Kuang stumbled and almost fell to the ground. It's not that he didn't expect that he would sit down and raise the price, but he didn't expect that he would dare to ask for three hundred taels.

"Three...three hundred taels? Old man, your shabby mess won't be worth three hundred taels even if you sell it all! Hum, I don't want it anymore , you can find other enemies."

Shen Kuang's tone was aggressive, and his title changed from "old man" to "old man". After saying that, he put down the hairpin and planned to leave.

However, the old man obviously expected it, and he didn't care about the rude call. He forced a smile on his face and raised his hand that was about to be put down. "Hey, don't worry, little brother! My business reputation is well-known in these ten streets and eight lanes. The goods must be good, but the price is not right. We can talk about it again."

Shen Kuang raised his eyebrows, looked at him, and asked suspiciously , "Can we really talk about it?"

"Of course. How about you make an offer? If it suits us, we'll make the deal. How about that?"

Hearing the old man relax, he knew that half of the success was achieved. He Mosuo held the white jade hairpin in his hand. After thinking about it, he showed a harmless smile and said, "If you want me to bid, then, three taels. Do you want to sell it?"

At this moment, it was the old man's turn to stumble. He showed a pained expression, then stroked his beard on his chin and said, "Little brother, you can pay three hundred taels for three hundred taels...isn't that right, Master?" That’s right!”

Seeing his hesitation, Shen Kuang was ready to put down his things and leave. Seeing this, the old man hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Hey, little brother, five taels, how about five taels? I'll give you something else for five taels." After saying that, he lowered his head and started looking for it on the stall, "This! Five taels . " Two, I’ll give you this hairpin and this piece of jade!”

"This jade is just a fragment, old man, do you want to deceive me again?"

In desperation, the old man took something at random from the stall. However, most of his stall was filled with tattered items. This piece of jade was already half a good thing.

"Hey~! How could I lie to you? This piece of jade is one of the keys to a treasure. There are five keys in total, and this is one of them. I originally sold it for a hundred taels, but now the two pieces together are five taels. I You can’t find anything else like this in the whole Dama Street with such reasonable prices.”

This old man could tell lies in a very serious tone, and Shen Kuang found it funny. What kind of treasures and keys, the old man used tricks like tricking children to deceive him, which really made him dumbfounded. But he could afford five taels of silver, and the most important thing was the hairpin, which was worth five taels.

So, after pretending to be in pain for a moment, he agreed when he saw that the old man didn't let go.

After receiving the broken silver handed over by Shen Kuang, the old man chuckled and said, "Little brother, use this hairpin of mine to give to the girl. The girl will like it if she keeps it!"

Shen Kuang took the hairpin and looked at the piece of jade again. He turned it over and found that it was nothing special, just a piece of jade, so he put it away.

Over there, Shigure, who was buying herbs from the shop, happened to come out. When he saw Shen Kuang chatting with an old man on the street, he waved and shouted, "Brother Shen!"

The old man also happened to see Shigure coming out, and smiled and said, "Girls are so delicate, and this boy like you is also very delicate, hahaha !"

"Brother Shen, what are you doing?"

He originally planned to give the hairpin to Shigure on the way back, but she happened to see it at this moment, so Shen Kuang simply gave it to her directly.

"I bought you a hairpin, see if you like it!"

Shiyu couldn't believe it at first, but when he saw that Shen Kuang was really holding a hairpin for his daughter, his face turned red. After hesitating for a while, he shyly stretched out his hand and took it. hairpin. "I...I like it very much! Thank you, Brother Shen."

The old man on the side looked at their actions with shamelessness, and when he saw Shigure's appearance, he couldn't help but laugh again, "Girl, this hairpin of mine is a good thing, put it away!"

······

From then on, he and Shigure wandered along Dama Street towards Dongcheng! The atmosphere of life on Dama Street is very strong, because the people gathered here are the lower-class residents of Qiuluo City , so they deal with things related to food and clothing, such as firewood, rice, oil and salt . Therefore, Shen Kuang feels better.

along Dama Street , the number of street stalls gradually decreases, and the items sold around them become more exquisite and valuable. Walk all the way to Dunhuatang, then turn left into Yongfeng Street, keep going, and soon you will reach Wujiu.

The wine shop that sells Fu Yuchun is in the north of Chengyifang in Dongcheng , next to Changlefang. Since the road is not convenient, he plans to go back to Wujiu and put down his things before going there.

Along the way, Shigure's face was filled with a happy smile. Soon after getting the hairpin, she asked Shen Kuang to help her insert it. The hanging ornaments on the hairpin swayed as she walked.

The white jade hairpin itself is pretty and suits Shigure’s cute temperament, so it’s very cute for the little girl to wear it. The texture of the jade was also very good. As for whether it was mutton-fat white jade or whether it was an object from the Nanliang palace, he didn't delve into it, because it was probably impossible.
