At dawn, the east is dawning, and the morning light is slightly dewed.
The cold air of the night condenses into dew drops, which remain on the blades of grass. The temporary market in Jinjiazhai is being demolished. The tents were put away, and the carpets of the stalls were rolled up one by one. The goods are bandaged and reloaded.
After staying in Jinjiazhai for many days, the caravan was ready to set off again.
For merchants, no matter how much goods are sold or how much is purchased, there is always a profit. As a result, many people's faces, although tired, are full of joy and smiles.
Fluttershy's face is very different.
"Miss, I just checked, and the black soil has changed almost all the goods. In it, I actually saw three carts full of golden hairpins!"
"Golden hairpin grass?" Shang Xinci heard this, and his willow eyebrows frowned slightly.
Indignant, Fluttershy tuggs at Shang Xinci's arm and says, "Even a layman like me knows that something like golden hairpin grass can't be sold." But he changed so much. Miss, this black soil is completely messing around!"
"Fluttershy, you calm down and don't get angry. Shang Xinci patted Fluttershy's hand, "This golden hairpin grass should have been changed by him last night, I don't know." However, the other goods he exchanged for also have a certain truth. You think he's a mortal, and it's good to be able to do this. ”
"Miss, why are you speaking for him? I'm also doing this for Miss. These goods are ours in the first place, so why should they be lost by outsiders in vain? The key is that he can't afford to pay for it!Lord Zhang Zhu, you don't want to persuade Miss......" Fluttershy pouted.
Zhang Zhu sighed, "Miss, Fluttershy has a point. I lent it to him to tempt him. Now that we have seen it through, why let him toss it again? We all believe in your ability, Miss, but why not minimize the losses that can be reduced? ”
"This ......" Shang Xinci was silent, still young, and a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Previously, she also felt that there was some truth in this exchange of commercial goods. But this golden hairpin grass ......
In exchange for so much golden hairpin grass, it is definitely the biggest failure.
Although golden hairpin grass is easy to preserve, it is rarely in demand and cannot be sold at all. If you hoard so much in your hands at once, sooner or later you will rot in your hands. In the end, it had to be sold at a lower price, which can be said to be doomed to a loss.
"May I ask if you are Miss Zhang Xinci?" At this moment, a middle-aged male Gu master who was sweating profusely, with a look of urgency on his face, trotted in front of Shang Xinci.
Looking at the iron plate of his belt, it is for the second turn Gu Master.
Shang Xinci smiled: "It's the little woman, may I ask who Your Excellency is?"
The middle-aged man clenched his fists: "I am the personal guard of the patriarch, and I have a reluctant request on the order of the patriarch." ”
"Oh? ”
"Your Excellency should have bought a large amount of golden hairpin grass last night. This is how this happened, our patriarch loves golden hairpin grass, so he raised some ornamental grass with his own hands. Helplessly, the little young master secretly dug it up and traded it behind the patriarch's back. Now, the patriarch has locked up the young master. At the same time, I want to redeem the golden hairpin grass sold to Miss.,I beg Miss to let it go.。 ”
The pro-guard Gu Master said politely, but it was soft and hard, revealing a resolute attitude.
"Miss......" Zhang Zhu's face was solemn, and he couldn't help but remind him loudly.
The pro-guard Gu Master represents the patriarch of the Jin family, this matter can be big or small, and if it is not handled well, it will be very strict.
Shang Xinci glanced at Zhang Zhu and nodded to show that he understood: "I understand the mood of the noble chief very well. In fact, I am also a lover of flowers, and all the golden hairpin grass must be given to the nobles, leaving not a single one. ”
"The young lady is reasonable, and it is really gratifying. The Gu Master's face softened, and he smiled.
Shang Xinci continued: "This transaction is in charge of one of my subordinates. I will call him now. ”
Fang Yuan had been secretly paying attention to the movements here for a long time.
"Heitu, you're in trouble, Miss called you over. Fluttershy calls for him.
Fang Yuan rushed to the front of the guards, clenched his fists and said, "I am responsible for the purchase and sale of the golden hairpin grass, I heard that the nobles want to buy it back?"
The person who came from the Gu Master was actually not a Gu Master, but just a mortal, and after being surprised, his face showed a slight disdain and arrogance.
He snorted, "That's right. Mortals, be happy. The patriarch is tolerant and merciful, and is willing to buy back your three carts of golden hairpin grass with 3,000 yuan stones. ”
"So much?" Fluttershy is taken aback, her eyes showing obvious joy.
Zhang Zhu's frowning brows gradually relaxed. Three thousand yuan stones should be calculated according to the highest market price of golden hairpin grass, which shows the sincerity of the Jin family patriarch.
But Fang Yuan shook his head: "The golden hairpin grass is extraordinarily expensive, and it only costs three thousand yuan stones to buy it back, does this seem too insincere?"
The guards suddenly frowned: "What? According to the market price of the golden hairpin, the highest is so much." Mortal, at what price did you buy it?"
Fang Yuan touched his nose: "Don't talk about the purchase price, we are all business people, so naturally we have to buy low and sell high." Three thousand yuan stones is too little, don't sell it!"
"You!" the guard gritted his teeth and stretched out his palm with five fingers apart, "Okay, then it will rise by another two thousand yuan stones, five thousand yuan stones!"
Fluttershy glared in surprise as she looked at the guard's five fingers, her face quickly flushing red with excitement.
"Five thousand yuan stones? This is what you said, you can't go back!" she almost jumped up with joy, she didn't expect things to develop like this, Fang Yuan had already made a profit.
But Fang Yuan still shook his head.
The guard's face turned cold, and he threatened: "Mortal, don't you think you are greedy? You are no longer allowed to trade privately. Without the credentials of the transaction, I would even say that you secretly stole the golden hairpin!!"
The anger of the guards made Zhang Zhu's heart skip a beat, and he looked at Fang Yuan: "If you can sell it, sell it." ”
Fang Yuan laughed: "You sell and I buy, it's wishful thinking." What's more, this is what your young master sold me. If I say it's stealing, then I can't help it. The Jin family is strong, and they can bully the weak and snatch it back directly. Well, the goods are there, and you can do it. It's just that as far as I know, it's not my family that bought the golden hairpin. Many people have a share, will the Jin clan have to grab it?"
Fang Yuan had expected this to happen, so he only bought most of them last night. The rest of the Golden Hairpin Grass, the Gu Master sold it to others.
"You!" the guards were furious, but they could only grit their teeth because they were squeezed by Fang Yuan.
He pointed at Fang Yuan: "Your family has bought the most, stinky boy, are you trying to embarrass me?"
"Of course I don't have that idea, I just want to make this deal. Fang Yuan arched his hand.
"Hmph, that's it, then add another two thousand yuan stones, seven thousand! Mortal, bring all the golden hairpin grass you bought. The guard whispered.
"Black soil, you might as well sell it. When we do business, we pay attention to harmony and make money. Shang Xinci couldn't bear this pressure anymore.
"Since you've said so, Miss,......" Fang Yuan nodded, and then changed his words, "Then I'll take a step back." Eight thousand yuan stones, you can buy back all the golden hairpin grass in my hands. ”
As soon as these words came out, Shang Xinci and several people were stunned.
The guards reacted and were furious: "What? You bastard!!"
Fang Yuan smiled on his face: "In business, please don't be angry." Actually, I originally wanted to buy 10,000 yuan stones, if my lord can't sit on the lord, why don't I talk to the patriarch of the nobles?"
"No need!" The guard shook his hand and glanced at Fang Yuan with extreme disgust, "You are a mortal, what qualifications do you have to meet the patriarch? Hurry up and pick up the goods, you are so in danger, I have written it down." Hmph!"
In this way, it is undoubtedly a promise to Fang Yuan's price increase.
Soon, the two sides closed the deal.
Fang Yuan used less than five hundred yuan stones of goods, but after one night, he simply changed hands, and in exchange for the income of these eight thousand yuan stones.
"Miss, two boxes full of Yuanshi!" Fluttershy smiles. During the whole process of trading, she was terrified, and now when she saw Yuan Shi, she suddenly felt that it was worth it.
Even the gaze that looked at Fang Yuan changed.
"Didn't you already know? No, it should be a blind cat that met a dead mouse!" she commented as she looked Fang Yuan up and down.
"Doing this, it has hurt the Jin family, and it is only 8,000 yuan stones, but it is not worth it. Zhang Zhu had been frowning tightly, he looked at Fang Yuan with some dissatisfaction, and admonished, "Don't be so risky in the future." ”
Fang Yuan smiled slightly, turned to look at Shang Xinci: "According to the original agreement, there is half of the young lady in these eight thousand yuan stones. I also asked the lady to keep my share of the Yuan Stone for me. ”
……
"It's all done?" the Jin family patriarch stood on the hillside, watching the caravan slowly depart from a distance.
An elder stood beside him and said, "Yes, Patriarch. The golden hairpin grass that was sold was all bought. It's just that the Zhang family took the opportunity to blackmail, which is really hateful. ”
The Jin family patriarch raised his eyebrows: "Oh? ”
The old man said in detail.
The patriarch of the Jin family smiled: "It's just eight thousand yuan stones, don't care." That Miss Zhang family, but with some wisdom, launched a mortal slave to test the bar, so that she earned this money. ”
"Patriarch, what my subordinates are worried about is that this Zhang family already knows the secrets of our clan, so they took the opportunity to blackmail?"
"Hehehe, don't be suspicious. If they knew how important the golden hairpin grass was to our people, why not just extort 8,000 yuan? Either they would buy it all, or they wouldn't buy it. However, just in case, he still sent Gu Masters to keep an eye on them until they left the Golden Mountain Realm. See if anyone sneaks to Huangjiazhai. If so, kill them on the spot!"
Speaking of which, the Jin family patriarch was full of murderous intent.
The old man of the family felt a pang in his heart: "Yes, patriarch!"
Finally glancing at the Golden Mountain behind him, Fang Yuan turned his head, a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Not far away, in the carriage, Shang Xinci lifted the curtain and focused his gaze on Fang Yuan's back. The light in her beautiful eyes flowed, and she didn't know what she was thinking. (To be continued)
