Chapter 111 ticked
Gong Ziyi took Huo Xi's hand, but felt it was extremely soft, softer than the hand of his younger brother who hadn't touched Fang Jiewa for three days.
Huo Xi looked down, wanted to shake it off, but endured it again. Isn't it normal for a brother to lead a sister?
Too normal.
The man in front turned his head and looked amiable: "I am moved by the child's filial piety."
"You, you eavesdrop!"
Gong Ziyi was very dissatisfied, and pulled Huo Xi to pretend to be on guard, trying to get away with him.
"Hey, Xiaowa, don't go." The man stopped them.
"What are you doing?"
Gong Ziyi looked at him warily, holding Huo Xi's hand tightly, looking like a young man from a rich family bringing his daughter out to see the world for the first time.
"Little boy, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Uncle is not a bad person. I'm a merchant from the north. I heard that this Huai'an wharf gathers goods from the north and the south. I want to come here to find some good goods from the south and ship them back to the north."
"Then you go find it." Gong Ziyi said, and was about to lead Huo Xi away.
"Hey, don't go." The man stared intently at the burden on Gong Ziyi's back, his eyes gleaming.
"I just heard that Xiaowa wants to show filial piety to her elders, but she is troubled by not being able to find something good?"
"None of your business." Gong Ziyi felt annoyed that someone had peeped into his secret.
"Brother, let's go." Huo Xi shook Gong Ziyi's hand.
The two are about to walk away.
How can I let you go. Finally came a big fish.
Yesterday they bought a cart of silk cloth for five taels. What did he hear today, there are spices! The man rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Xiaowa, come, let's discuss."
With a little effort, he brought Gong Ziyi and Huo Xi to a shelter.
"What are you bringing my brother and sister here for?" Gong Ziyi glared at each other.
"elder brother."
"Don't be afraid." Gong Ziyi comforted in a low voice. Huo Xi quietly rolled her eyes, wanting to give him a best performance award.
The man also comforted Huo Xi, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I heard that you have good things, and I want to sell them for silver, so that I can buy other things to fulfill your filial piety. I just happened to be looking for good things. I want something, and the price will definitely satisfy you."
"You can't afford it." Huo Xi looked proud.
When the man heard this, instead of being annoyed, his hands trembled with excitement. Looks like a baby.
Patted the purse on his waist, "Look, Uncle has enough money."
"There are many fake bank notes, do you want to deceive children?"
"How can it be, now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, who will die and dare to make counterfeit tickets? How many heads of the whole family are enough to chop off!"
Gong Ziyi pretended to be persuaded, nodded, "Our things are very expensive, if you don't bring enough money, don't block our way, we have to find someone to buy again."
"Don't, don't. Bring enough, bring enough, there are five thousand taels here!"
The man gestured with a gesture of wealth and wealth, "Don't worry, if it's not enough, I'll go to the bank to get it."
Gong Ziyi and Huo Xi looked at each other, "Okay, I'll show you."
Untie the bag and open it, "Don't break it."
"Don't worry." The man rubbed his hands excitedly.
The box was slowly opened, and then the cloth was uncovered, and a palm-sized gray-black spice was displayed in front of it. The unique fragrance of ambergris is tangy.
"Amberis!" It was ambergris!
Good stuff! With this thing, his master is still looking for some treasures, just this can be presented at the Queen's Sealing Ceremony, afraid that there will be no place for it?
He's going to order this thing!
He still can’t hold the two little things in front of him? joke.
The man had greedy eyes. Gong Ziyi quickly covered the box.
But the fragrance of ambergris is soft and long-lasting. Even if the box is closed, the unique fragrance still lingers around. The man's hands and feet trembled with excitement.
He is going to order this thing!
Gong Ziyi looked proud and a little impatient: "Okay, you have seen it, tell me, is this a treasure? Do you want it? How much are you willing to pay? If the money is short, my brother and sister will pay for it." Looking for someone else."
"I want it. Xiaowa, don't worry. I'll give this number..." The man's eyes flashed, and he pointed out.
"One hundred taels! One hundred taels want to buy my ambergris?"
"Don't yell, don't yell! It's one thousand taels." The man wanted to cover Gong Ziyi's mouth tightly. He only made a gesture to silence him quickly, and held him tightly.
"I can't buy it for a thousand taels or a small piece. Brother, this person is dishonest and bullying our children. Let's go." Huo Xi went to grab Gong Ziyi.
How could it be possible to let the two of you go.
"Don't go, don't go. I'll add more", the man held out another finger.
"You sent the beggar!" Gong Ziyi was very angry, slapped his hand away, took Huo Xi and left.
"Don't go!" The man hurriedly grabbed Huo Xi's clothes again.
"Let go of my sister's clothes!"
"Okay, let go, don't leave." Such a good thing, if it slips away, he can vomit three liters of blood.
Gritting his teeth: "I'll give you all the banknotes in the purse", took it out and hugged it twice, "Look, it's a total of five thousand taels!"
"Five thousand taels is not enough."
The man choked, "It's okay, if you think it's not enough, you can go with me to the bank to get it."
"Ten thousand taels will do." Huo Xi tilted her head to look at him.
"All right, ten thousand taels is ten thousand taels." Ten thousand taels, one thousand taels, isn't it up to him? Just wait until you cheat people to a place, and then grab the money back.
When the time comes, the goods will be his, as will the money.
A gleam of brilliance and sternness flashed in the man's eyes.
"Let's go, let's go to the bank with my uncle. It's only 10,000 taels. We've agreed. It just so happens that you can also verify the authenticity of the bank notes."
Gong Ziyi was counting the money, Huo Xi held back his excitement, "Brother, is it true?"
Gong Ziyi shook his head, "My brother doesn't know either, let's go with him to the bank to withdraw money, just in time for the bank to verify the bank notes."
"Exactly. Can the bank still deceive people?"
The man saw that his brother and sister had taken the bait, he was secretly happy, and happily led the way.
"Baby, that box, let uncle help you take it" coaxing words.
"No! I didn't get the rest of the money. I paid the money and delivered the goods."
"All right." The man was not in a hurry, and looked forward. There was a corner in front of him, which happened to knock the two little babies out, and then the silver ticket would be his, and the ambergris would be his too!
Throwing people into the river again was just an accident. Big families never lack children.
Ambergris, Zhao Si, that idiot, thought it was a good thing with a cart of silk, and escaped on a boat overnight.
Stupid.
Seeing that he was about to reach the corner, the corners of Saturday's mouth curled up, and he glanced back, seeing two little babies following closely behind. I was secretly happy in my heart, with five thousand taels hanging, not afraid that these two children would not follow.
Take a big step and turn into the corner first.
