Chapter 276: The Nine-Tailed Fox and the Wine (15)
Yu Niangzi didn't notice the gaze of the person behind her, she was haggling with the vendor in front of her. After some discussion, the vendor finally gave in, and Yu Niangzi bought the things she wanted, and hurried in the direction of home. The middle-aged man stared at Yu Niangzi's back for a long time, until the beautiful woman couldn't bear to change her face, then he turned around abruptly and said to the little girl behind him: "Let's go, go back to the inn!" ”
"Why is the husband staring at that man? That person is a relative of the husband? "The beautiful woman is aggressive, and she has a posture of not leaving if she can't ask a question.
The middle-aged man glanced at the carriage and said in a gentle tone: "Madame thinks too much, if there are still relatives in this town, how can I not come back for more than ten years." I just looked at the man's back and looked at one of my old friends. ”
"The deceased? What kind of deceased? ”
"The deceased who has passed away for many years, if the lady doesn't believe it, you can ask Mama Wu to find the woman and ask her if she recognizes me."
"It's just a poor woman, and I don't know my husband when I think about it." Hearing that the middle-aged man's tone was a little heavier, Mrs. Mame was not as aggressive as before, and became gentle: "The husband is tired after walking for so long, or can the husband take the carriage back to the inn with me?" ”
"Madame, go back first, for my husband wants to take a walk around the town. I haven't returned for many years, and I can't help but feel it. This time I returned to my hometown to worship my ancestors, and I couldn't stay for a few days, and if I wanted to come back, I was afraid that it would be a hundred years later. ”
"In that case, then, you should take a walk more. Wu Yong, you follow your uncle, do you want to take care of it wholeheartedly? Madame Maung lowered the curtain as she spoke, and the carriage swayed forward.
As for the little guy whose name was Wu Yong, he stood behind the middle-aged man from beginning to end, looking respectful and humble.
After the beautiful woman's carriage left, the middle-aged man did not act immediately, but stood in a daze, not knowing what was going on in his heart.
Bai Li thought for a moment, took out the piece of Pisces jade pendant he had just bought, and carried it in his hand, deliberately passing by the middle-aged man. Seeing that he had already arrived in front of the man, he didn't see any reaction on his face, so he deliberately lowered his foot, and while his body was tilted sideways, the piece of Pisces jade pendant fell on the man's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean to, I didn't hurt you, master, right?"
"It's okay, is the girl hurt?" The middle-aged man reached out in time to hold Bai Li, who was about to fall.
"It's not hurt, it's not hurt, it's just that I didn't pay attention when I just walked." Bai Li said and kicked the stone at his feet: "I didn't expect that this girl's reputation was almost ruined on such a small stone." It's a shame that I didn't hurt my lord, I don't see that you are dressed like we are from Huaxi Town, if you are injured, I am afraid that I will not be able to afford it. ”
"The girl is wrong, I am from Huaxi Town, and my family has lived in this town for generations." The middle-aged man took off the thing that had just fallen on his shoulder, and when he reached out to hand it to Bai Li, he was suddenly stunned: "This jade pendant is-"
"The master asked this? This is what I just bought from a jade shop. Bai Li smiled and took the jade pendant from the middle-aged man's hand.
"A jade shop?"
"That's right, it's the jade shop in front. Although the shopkeeper is shrewd, there are still some good things in the store, such as this Pisces jade pendant. Bai Li first shook the jade pendant twice like offering a treasure, and then pretended to be embarrassed to put the jade pendant away: "Look at me, how can I show it in front of you, master." The lord is a rich and noble man at first glance, how can this ordinary jade pendant get into your eyes, lord. ”
"The jade pendant in the girl's hand is indeed rare, I don't know if the girl is willing to resell it, I am willing to buy it from you at twice the price."
"Twice the price?"
"Yes, double the price, no matter how much the girl buys it, I am willing to pay double the price."
"Sir, are you stupid? Do you know how much I spent on this jade pendant? Bai Li's eyes widened deliberately, pretending to be silly and sweet.
"How much?"
"Fifteen taels, a whole fifteen taels of silver." Bai Li stretched out his finger exaggeratedly: "Tell me, sir, am I a fool, I actually paid fifteen taels of silver to buy such a mediocre and even somewhat mutilated jade pendant." I'm stupid, sir, you're even more stupid, you even asked me for thirty taels of silver to buy this jade pendant. ”
"Not all people love precious jade, and not all precious jade can be liked by everyone. The girl is willing to spend fifteen taels of silver to buy it, which means that this jade pendant is worth fifteen taels in the girl's heart. Like the girl, I am willing to pay double the price, which just means that this jade pendant is worth more than thirty taels in my heart. I think the girl is also a straightforward person, so let's do it, I will pay three times the price, but beg the girl to cut her love. ”
"You're welcome, sir." Bai Li learned from the man's appearance and arched his hand: "I can't hide it, if this jade pendant is bought for me, don't say thirty taels, even twenty taels, I am willing to sell it." There is one thing to say, who in this world has a grudge against silver. But there is no way, I bought this jade pendant for one of my sisters, she likes it very much, but I am afraid that she will not want to cut her love. ”
"Sister? I wonder who this sister of the girl is? If I could, I would talk to her personally, and if she was willing to cut her love, it would be fine to have some extra money. ”
"My sister, her husband's surname is Yu, and everyone in this town calls her Yu Niangzi. I don't know what the master's surname is? Seeing that the old man should be the same age as my sister, maybe the old man and my sister are still old friends. ”
"Yu Niangzi? The girl's sister is the lady of the Yu family? ”
"What? Does the lord recognize my sister? ”
"No, I shouldn't recognize it, the lady of the Yu family I know doesn't have a sister." The middle-aged man muttered.
"I didn't have a sister twelve years ago, but I will have a sister after twelve years. How? There are also provisions in this royal law that it is not allowed to recognize a sister of the opposite sex? ”
"Twelve years!" The middle-aged man's face changed: "The girl said that Yu Niangzi is her maiden name Xu?" ”
"My lord really knows my sister." Bai Li accepted the Pisces jade pendant, and looked at the middle-aged man opposite with a smile: "Since the master has won the Tanhualang, why don't you go home?" Have you forgotten that you still have a father and mother in your own family to serve, and a wife to take care of? ”
"The girl has recognized the wrong person, I am not the person the girl said she was." The middle-aged man was about to raise his legs and leave as he spoke, but Bai Li did not hesitate, directly took out a talisman and slapped it on the man.
I only heard a "bang", and the middle-aged man turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared.
"Uncle!" The little guy named Useless stretched out his hand to catch Bai Li, but Bai Li smiled and stepped back, and slapped another talisman in the useless palm.
There was another "bang", and the useless little guy turned into a wisp of white smoke, and disappeared from the street.
