Chapter Thirteen 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, but he was startled when he suddenly heard the napping old man speak. The old man's tone was impatient, and he was obviously seeing off guests.
He had planned to leave directly just now, but he suddenly took a glance and found that there was a white jade hairpin for his daughter in the upper left corner. He had not noticed it before. The hairpin was very delicate. He thought it would suit Shigure, so he wanted to buy it as a gift. Give it to her as a way of thanking Shigure for taking care of her 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 from just now and couldn't look at anything. 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 said, "Haha, little brother, you have such a good eye! You saw the best thing on my stall at a glance. This hairpin." , I spent a lot of effort to get it, it comes from the Nanliang Palace, 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. Isn't gold precious?"
As he said that, 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 wasn't 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! Huh, 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 had expectations and didn't care about the rude address.

Another smile appeared on his face, and he raised the hand he was about to put down. "Hey, don't worry, little brother! My reputation in business is well-known in this neighborhood, and the things must be good. , the price is not suitable, we can discuss 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's suitable, we'll make a deal. How about that?"
Hearing that the old man relaxed, he knew that half of the success was achieved. He rubbed the white jade hairpin in his hand, thought for a while and showed a harmless smile: "If you want me to bid, then, sell it for three taels. Not selling?”
At this moment, it was the old man's turn to stumble. He showed a pained expression, then stroked the beard on his chin and said: "Little brother, you can pay three hundred taels for three hundred taels... right? On point!”
Seeing his hesitation, Shen Kuang was about 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." Then he lowered his head and looked for it on the stall: "Here! Five taels, this hairpin and this piece of jade are all for you!"
"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, but 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 them for a hundred taels, but now the two pieces together are five taels. I You won’t be able to find another one in the entire Dama Street with such reasonable prices.”
The old man could tell lies in a very serious tone, and Shen Kuang found it funny when he heard it. There were treasures and keys, and the old man tried to trick him like a child, which really made him laugh. But five taels of silver was worth it. He could afford it, and the most important thing was the hairpin, which was worth five taels.
So, after pretending to be in pain and pondering 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.

After looking through it, I found that it was nothing special, just a piece of broken jade, so I put it away.
Over there, Shigure, who was buying herbs in 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. He hesitated for a while before shyly reaching out his hand and taking it. The hairpin. "I...I like it very much! Thank you, Brother Shen."
The old man on the side looked at their actions without shame, 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 to the East City! The life on Dama Street was very strong, because the people gathered here were all the lower-class residents of Qiuluo City, so the people they interacted with were all It was something related to food and clothing, such as firewood, rice, oil and salt, and therefore, it actually made Shen Kuang feel better.
Heading east along Dama Street, the number of stalls on the street gradually decreases, and the items sold around become more exquisite and valuable. Walk all the way to Dunhuatang, then turn left into Yongfeng Street, and keep going A while ago, I soon became alcohol-free.
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 was pretty and suited Shigure's cute temperament, so the little girl looked very cute wearing 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 go into detail. Yes, because it's probably not possible.
