Hearing this, the girl in cloth hurriedly put down her hand and pulled down her sleeve to cover the bracelet on her wrist. The middle-aged man smacked his lips and said, "This girl, do you want to sell the bracelet?" ”

The girl shook her head again and again and said, "It's not for sale, it's given to me by my mother." ”

The middle-aged man smiled: "Hey, don't you want to pay people money?" You don't have any money to compensate, is it possible to follow the official? It's a good fight when you see the official, and you can't deny it and still lose money. It's better to be like this, uncle, I bought your bracelet with kindness, and you have the silver to pay for this young lady's clothes, isn't this the best of both worlds? Why do you wear a bracelet without money? Isn't that poor dressing? ”

The girl in cloth shrank her arm and said, "Not for sale." This bracelet must not be sold. ”

The middle-aged man said dissatisfiedly: "You girl, you want to accompany people with money now, and you can't get the silver, I kindly buy your belongings, so that you have money to lose people's money, but you don't want to?" Is it possible that you are really willing to go to the official? In this way, I have a kind heart, and I think that the bracelet on your wrist is worth a maximum of ten taels of silver, and I will buy yours for twenty taels to help you tide over this difficult time before you. You lose ten taels and earn ten taels, and you can also see your mother's illness, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

The girl in cloth was stunned, and seemed to be moved. He frowned and looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Are you willing to pay twenty taels?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled: "It was not worth it, but I am in a happy mood today, and it is a pleasure to help others." ”

The girl in cloth was stunned and seemed to hesitate.

Qian Xing'er didn't see what the bracelet looked like, so she frowned and asked the middle-aged man, "What bracelet?" Are you willing to pay twenty taels? ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "It's just an ordinary bracelet, it's nothing special, I'm not enthusiastic yet, I want to mediate for you." You got the silver compensation, I bought the bracelet, and she gave some money, and they were all happy. ”

Qian Xing'er frowned and wondered in her heart, she had never seen such an unjust boss, judging by the human nature she knew, if this middle-aged man was not a fool, there was another trick among them.

"I'll take a look at the bracelet." Qian Xing'er shouted to the girl in cloth.

The girl in cloth was stunned for a moment, Qian Xing'er had already grabbed her arm and rolled up her sleeve. The jade bracelet suddenly fell into everyone's eyes. Qian Xing'er's eyes widened, her mouth opened slightly, and she looked at the jade bracelet with a light in her eyes.

Although it was only a ring-shaped jade bracelet, it was green and warm, crystal clear, like a pool of autumn water surrounding the wrist of the girl in cloth. Under the sun, the halo flows, emerald green and pleasant, without the slightest flaw and crack, without half of the glare and refraction. Although Qian Xinger is not a professional jewelry and jade connoisseur, she loves to eat and wear, and she also has some vision for jewelry and jade. Just by looking at it, you can know that this jade bracelet is extraordinary, and it is definitely a treasure of excellent quality.

What's more, she wears a jade bracelet on her own hand, which is a good jade bracelet bought in Rong Bao Zhai for twelve taels of silver, and when she pulls the other party's arm at the moment, the two bracelets are exactly in one place. One is crystal clear and jade, like new green after rain, and the other is dull and chaotic. It's like one is a fairy in the sky and the other is a beggar on the ground.

"Wow!" Qian Xing'er involuntarily let out an exclamation.

The girl in cloth blushed and broke free from Qian Xing'er's hand, and hurriedly rolled down her sleeves to cover the jade bracelet. Qian Xing'er reluctantly retracted her gaze. is a person with a strong desire to dominate, and there is a peasant girl in front of her who doesn't seem to understand anything, plus she has no money to compensate herself, Qian Xing'er has an idea in her heart, she must get this jade bracelet.

"Girl, have you thought about it? Twenty taels of silver is a lot. If you inquire, the best jade bracelet on the market is only more than ten taels of silver, and I am completely in good intentions. Otherwise, look at you for being pitiful, uncle, I'll add five taels of silver. How is it? I can tell you, after this village, there will be no more such shops. The middle-aged man began to urge.

The cloth-clothed girl blinked and said, "This big brother, are you really willing to give twenty-five taels of silver?" That's it, although my mother said that this bracelet can't be sold, but now, my mother is sick again, and I am on the matter again, which is really unimaginable. Let's sell this bracelet to this big brother. ”

The middle-aged man rubbed his hands excitedly, couldn't hide the smile on his face, and nodded: "Okay, helping others is the foundation of happiness, and I have done a good deed today." No, this is twenty-five taels of silver, give me the bracelet, quickly. ”

The middle-aged man took out five silver ingots from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of the cloth-clothed girl, and at the same time, he had already started to pull the bracelet down from the girl's arm.

Seeing this, Qian Xing'er stepped forward and pushed the middle-aged man's hand away, and shouted, "Girl, don't listen to him, he lied to you." Your jade bracelet is not only twenty-five taels, but also worth at least one hundred taels. This man is scolding you. I bought it for a hundred taels. ”

The middle-aged man said angrily: "You mother-in-law, what are you talking nonsense? When you force people to ask for silver, I will solve people's difficulties, and you will come to spew blood again? Indiscriminate price hikes? ”

Qian Xing'er crossed her hands on her hips and scolded: "I, you don't want people to say that you take advantage of others?" Do you want me to judge the people on the street? It's really funny for a big man to rob and deceive other little girls. If you don't get out of here, beware that I'll call the officials to arrest you. You street liar, you deceive the countrymen, don't think I don't know. ”

The middle-aged man looked around in a panic, turned back and pointed at the woman and gritted his teeth and said, "Count you ruthless, don't plant it in my hands in the future." Otherwise, you want to look good. ”

"The old lady is afraid of you? Just let the horses come. and thou shalt give a hundred denarii of silver, and thou shalt buy it. The woman glared and scolded.

The middle-aged man looked at the bracelet, seemed to hesitate, and finally stomped his foot and scolded: "A hundred taels of silver? Crazy? How is this bracelet worth a hundred taels? It's just a broken bracelet, and I don't buy it. ”

With that, he spat at the ground fiercely, turned around and squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.

Qian Xing'er sneered and spat at the middle-aged man's back. turned around to look at the cloth-clothed girl who was standing in front of her in a daze, and immediately changed her smiling face.

"You have to thank me, girl, that you were almost deceived." Qian Xing'er said.

"Ahh Is this bracelet really worth a hundred taels? Do you really want to pay a hundred taels for this bracelet? The girl in cloth said dumbfoundedly.

Qian Xing'er looked left and right, and saw that some people next to her were looking at each other, so she stretched out her hand and grabbed the girl in cloth and said, "Let's go and talk, there are many people here." ”

Mu Ran, the girl in cloth, followed Qian Xing'er's master and servant to a secluded place on the corner of the street and stood still, and when Qian Xing'er turned around, her face returned to indifference.

"Girl, your bracelet is not worth a hundred taels, I don't deserve to be wronged."

The girl in cloth was stunned and said, "But didn't you say that you would buy it for a hundred taels of this eldest sister?" How did you change your hexagram again? ”

Qian Xing'er frowned and said, "I'm sending that bastard who lied to you for you." I think your bracelet is worth about thirty taels. So I will give you twenty taels, plus ten taels of silver for the compensation of this set of clothes on my body, and this will be a total of thirty taels, and you will sell me this bracelet. ”

The cloth-clothed girl frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, I won't sell it." ”

Qian Xing'er said angrily: "What? Too little? Then I don't force it, but you still pay me for my clothes, ten taels of silver, and bring it immediately. ”

The cloth-clothed girl frowned and said, "This eldest sister, can you let me for a few days, I will definitely accompany you for money." In the past few days, I have tried to raise money, but I can't do it, so I went to the pawnshop and paid you back the money for this bracelet. ”

"To the pawnshop? Those black-hearted pawnshops will give you an estimate of fifteen taels at most, are you crazy? Besides, I know who you are, you turned around and ran away, where can I go to find you? If you don't say it, give the money now, or you will go to the official. Qian Xing'er screamed.

"Eldest sister, I will never repay my debts, we countrymen are the most trustworthy. Tell me the address of the house, and I swear to God that I will definitely come to the door to pay back. My name is Lin Bing'er, and I live in Linjiazhuang at the foot of Songshan Mountain in Nancheng......"

Qian Xing'er waved her hand to interrupt the words of the girl in cloth, and sneered: "Who cares what your name is and where you live, I don't know who you are." Lose money and lose money. If you don't lose money, you will see the official. ”

Lin Bing'er, a girl in cloth, blushed and said, "Then I will go to see the official, and the official master will decide." ”

Qian Xing'er was furious when she heard this: "Okay, you don't know how to lift a mud leg, are you an official?" Good. Then I went to see the officer. Let me tell you, my Qian family is a big family in Hangzhou, and the new prefect Kang and my father are good friends. When you see the official, you don't have any good fruit to eat. At that time, I don't want anything else, please ask the prefect to pay me ten taels for this bracelet, and I will save you more silver. And you are a mud leg, poor jingle, where did this bracelet come from is still a question. I suspect that you stole it, and the prefect beat it with dozens of sticks, I'm afraid you won't recruit it? If you don't know what to do, let you know the consequences of not knowing what is good or bad. Let's go, let's go. Haruka, go to the front to find the errand who patrols the streets to arrest someone. ”

Qian Xing'er grabbed Lin Bing'er's arm, pulled her and walked to the street. Lin Bing'er seemed to be frightened by Qian Xing'er's words. It turns out that the other party has such a background, if it is such a result after meeting the official, wouldn't it be worth the loss.

"That's it, I'll sell you, thirty taels is thirty taels, the eldest sister raised her noble hand and didn't go to see the official." Lin Bing'er hurriedly shouted.

Qian Xing'er smiled on her face, let go and scolded: "Phew! Toast without eating and drinking, I have to give you a real touch. Don't go to see the official? ”

"No, no, no." The girl in cloth said with a red face.

"Then you won't give me the bracelet?" Qian Xing'er sneered.

Lin Bing'er hurriedly stretched out her hand to take off the jade bracelet, Qian Xing'er snatched it from her hand, turned her head to the maid Chunxiang and said, "Give her ten taels of silver." ”

Chunxiang smiled and took ten taels of silver and handed it over, Lin Bing'er said, "Didn't you say that it was worth thirty taels?" In addition to the ten taels of compensation, I should also be returned twenty taels. ”

Qian Xing'er glared and said angrily: "Just ten taels, love or not, if you don't want it, let's go to the official." ”

Lin Bing'er stared at Qian Xing'er's fat face in a daze, tears rolling in her eyes, and she was extremely angry. Qian Xing'er didn't look at her, grabbed the jade bracelet in her hand and turned around and left. The maid Chunxiang stuffed ten taels of silver into Lin Bing'er's hand, and followed Qian Xing'er away. The master and servant called a carriage, and soon disappeared without a trace after getting into the carriage.
