After getting the desired information, Xu Zhiqiu stopped talking and ordered the boss to put the jade hairpin into a wooden box.

at this time--

"Hey! This jade hairpin is really good. Don't be in a hurry to sell it, the boss. I want it."

Someone stopped at the door of the shop.

Xu Zhiqiu looked for the sound and saw a young nobleman walking in from the door.

This man is tall and thin, his feet are fluffy, his body must have been hollowed out by wine and lust, his appearance is not ugly, but he is a bit strange, he is actually holding a folding fan in his hand in winter, I don't know who he is pretending for .

Behind his buttocks was a servant, who was about the same age, with an arrogant face, and kept yelling to ask the boss to sell the goods again, so he didn't know how to flatter him.

That doggy style was almost written on his face with a pen - my master is rich and powerful, and I am his number one dog leg.

Xu Zhiqiu couldn't help feeling a little funny.

The noble young man in brocade clothes didn't pay attention to Xu Zhiqiu, snatched the jade hairpin from the boss, and asked the dog-legged servant beside him: "Shaobing, this hairpin looks good, you said if I give it to the drunk spring building Miss Ruyue, will she like it?"

The dog-legged servant called Shaobing licked his smiling face and said flatteringly: "Master, if you feel good, then the appointment is the best. Although Miss Ruyue is beautiful, but to put it bluntly, she is just a brothel girl. How can there be any choice?" For the sake of picking four, let me tell you, as long as it is a gift from you, young master, she will definitely like it, so she can wake up happily in her dreams at night!"

These words were beautiful, and Young Master Jinyi was very useful, and even felt that there was some truth in his heart, so he said to the cashier: "Boss, wrap up the hairpin, I want it."

Hearing this, the boss was in trouble, and said with a bitter face: "Mr. Zhao, I'm afraid this matter can't be done."

"Why can't it be done?"

"The jade hairpin has already been sold to this little brother, why don't you look at other hairpins, I still have quite a few hairpins in this shop, many are better than this."

"I don't bother to look at anything else, you just say how much silver taels, I am willing to pay double." Young Master Jinyi opened the folding fan and waved it, probably feeling a bit cold, then closed it again.

The shop owner had a headache, but he didn't dare to offend the young man in front of him, so he had no choice but to persuade him again: "Mr. Little brother, see if he is willing to resell it to you."

Seeing that the boss couldn't explain it, Mr. Jinyi didn't hesitate any longer, turned sideways, looked at Xu Zhiqiu and asked, "How much silver taels did you spend on this jade hairpin?"

Xu Zhiqiu replied, "Five taels of silver."

Young Master Jin Yi was rich and generous: "Okay, I will pay you ten taels, how about you sell it to me?"

Xu Zhiqiu softly rebuffed: "Not for sale."

"Two taels more?"

"Not for sale."

"Is it really not for sale?"

"It's not for sale."

Seeing him so ignorant of flattery, Mr. Jinyi couldn't help frowning, raised his chin, and said a little arrogantly: "Not for sale? Don't you know who I am?"

Xu Zhiqiu shook his head with a calm face: "I don't know."

Hearing this, Young Master Jin Yi's face turned red, as if he had been greatly humiliated.

The dog-legged servant felt the same, and immediately turned his gaze away, staring and said: "Which bumpkin jumped out of the ravine, even my young master doesn't know him, could it be a beggar from a foreign country who came here to make a living?"

Before Xu Zhiqiu said anything, the little girl Xu Yueyao stopped doing it first, pouted her lips and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, ugly, my elder brother is not a beggar."

The corner of the dog-legged servant's mouth twitched, a little annoyed, "Ugly?"

He rolled up his sleeves, making a gesture to make a move.

At this moment, the noble young master in brocade clothes suddenly raised his arm, and beat his servant on the head with the folding fan.

"Shaobing, you don't want to be rude, my mother told us to be well-mannered when we go out, have you forgotten?"

The dog-legged servant covered his head, and hurriedly responded: "I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten, I have all the teachings of Da Furen in my heart, even if I frighten them, I don't have the courage to fight."

Saying that, there was an ugly smile on that slightly awkward face.

Young Master Jinyi snorted, looked at Xu Zhiqiu again, and said word by word: "Outsiders, stand up straight, listen carefully, my son is Zhao Liangcai, my father Zhao Hanqing!"

Zhao Hanqing?

The name sounds familiar.

Xu Zhiqiu thought about it, and finally remembered that the name of the magistrate of Lin'an County is Zhao Hanqing.

In this way, the young man in brocade clothes in front of him is the second generation of the top official in Lin'an County, no wonder he is so flamboyant.

"How, do you know who I am now?" After reporting the father's name, the expression on the face of the young master in brocade clothes increased a bit, and the dog-legged servant was even more arrogant.

Xu Zhiqiu was as calm as ever.

After a short pause, Zhao Liangcai asked again: "Are you still selling this hairpin?"

Xu Zhiqiu shook his head slightly: "Not for sale."

Zhao Liangcai was dumbfounded immediately, and said blankly, "Could it be that you don't even know who my father is?"

Xu Zhiqiu said with a smile: "I've heard of the county's honorary name."

"In that case, you, you, you..." Zhao Liangcai stretched out his arms, his face full of confusion.

At this time, Xu Zhiqiu stretched out two fingers and said, "If this young master really wants to buy it, he will need at least 20 taels of silver."

At 20 taels, the shop owner was dumbfounded, and said in his heart: Ruthless, so fucking ruthless!

Zhao Liangcai was stunned, "You take me for a fool?"

The dog-legged servant jumped out and shouted: "It's too much to deceive people! My young master is Bingxue and intelligent. He was good at writing at the age of three, martial arts at the age of four, proficient in poetry at the age of five, and proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to the age of six... how could you treat him as a fool?" Funny like a fool."

Xu Yueyao snickered a few times inappropriately.

Xu Zhiqiu didn't laugh, but thought for a moment in silence, and felt that he wanted too much, so he changed his mind and said, "Then 15 taels, no less."

"Success!" Zhao Liangcai slapped his palm with a folding fan, and said without a pause: "Shaobing, give him the money. What is the boss still doing in a daze, wrap up the hairpin for me."

"That's it." The store owner didn't say a word, and quickly packed the jade hairpin.

The dog-legged servant was a little hesitant, and whispered: "Master, 15 taels of silver is too expensive, and the boy only spent five taels."

Zhao Liangcai didn't take it seriously, "This little money is nothing, I'll go to Zuichunlou tomorrow, as long as this hairpin can please Miss Ruyue, it's not a loss."

The dog-legged servant had no choice but to take out 15 taels of silver from his pocket, and reluctantly threw it to Xu Zhiqiu.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Liangcai said again: "Shaobing, don't forget to record this matter in the booklet, and show it to my mother."

"Don't worry, young master, I know." The dog-legged servant responded, and took out a thick booklet from his arms, with "Genesis of Merit" written on the cover.

Xu Zhiqiu was a little curious.

The dog-legged servant picked up a brush in the shop, and said while writing:

"On the sixth day of the winter month, at noon, there were beggars from other places begging along the street. The young master felt sorry for him, and felt pity for him, and gave him 15 taels of silver to live on.

Zhao Liangcai was quite satisfied with listening to the records on the merit list.

The shop owner should have seen it a long time ago, so he is not surprised.

Only the brothers and sisters of the Xu family were stunned.

Xu Yueyao was a little annoyed, she glared and said angrily, "You are such a bad smoker, how can you just talk nonsense?"

The dog-legged servant squinted his eyes and argued with the little girl: "There is no such thing as nonsense, it's embellishment! Do you understand embellishment? You don't understand even if you tell me, so let's have fun in your heart. You've earned an extra ten taels of silver for nothing." , I’m sure I’ll have a good year when I go home, eh!”

After finishing speaking, he followed Zhao Liangcai and walked out of the shop.

Xu Yueyao was so angry that she handed the Touhua Ci to her mouth, and took two bites.

Xu Zhiqiu looked at the backs of the two masters and servants who were gradually going away, smiled lightly and shook his head.

At this time, the shop owner suddenly winked and said: "Little brother, I have ten taels of silver in my hand, do you want to stop looking at other hairpins?"

Xu Zhiqiu didn't want to be taken advantage of again, so he politely declined, took his cousin's little hand and left.

When everyone disappeared, the shop owner standing behind the counter said with a sad face, depressed:

"It's a loss, it's a loss, it's a whole 12 taels of silver!"
