Chapter Eight Asking Prices
"This little brother still understands things. Yang Ning, how do you call me little brother?" Yang Ning seemed to think that she was twenty-eight years old, calling "little brother" one after another, and it was quite smooth!
He said with a smile on his face, but his eyes were fixed on the handsome scholar. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this "fake scholar" did not look like a Central Plains person, but rather had the characteristics of a foreign woman: his big eyes were as bright as stars, The small, delicate nose and tall straight nose show the owner’s intelligent and independent personality!
The handsome scholar was so flustered by Yang Ning's gaze that he hurriedly lowered his head and saluted, "I'm Zhang——, Zhang San, I've met my brother!"
"Zhang San? Haha! Little Brother is such a good name. It is easy to understand and suitable for all ages!"
Yang Ning became more and more certain that this "fake scholar" was not from the Central Plains, and his skills in making up false names were so poor. If he called him "Zhang San" even if he called him "Li Si", he would still be "Li Si"!
"Brother Yang, thank you!" the handsome scholar said without changing his expression.
"Haha, we are really destined to meet each other in this vast sea of people!"
"Hmph! Who is destined to be with you again?" The little book boy interrupted Yang Ning with a cold snort.
"Humph! There is no reason for a slave to interrupt when the masters are talking!" Yang Ning somewhat disliked the domineering attitude of the little book boy, so he was extremely rude in his words.
"you--!"
The little book boy was so choked that his face turned red and he was about to retort, but the handsome scholar frowned and glared at her. The little book boy immediately lost his temper.
"I'm not disciplined well, please don't get along with me, brother Yang!" the handsome scholar said to Yang Ning with a sincere face.
Yang Ning began to have a good impression of this "fake scholar". In any case, judging from his clothing and temperament, this person must have come from a noble family, but now he was in a shabby state. It was quite unusual for someone to be able to talk to him in such a humble and easy manner. Easy! You know, ancient people took the differences in status very seriously!
"Well! It doesn't matter. I'm a generous person and I don't have the same experience as my servants. But to be honest, little brother should be more disciplined towards my servants. Otherwise, what will happen to you in this 'foreign land'? The disaster will be bad!" Yang Ning said pointedly.
"Thank you for your advice, brother!" Although the handsome scholar's face remained as usual, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes could not escape Yang Ning's eyes.
"Brother Yang, I have something important to do, so I'll say goodbye and see you later!"
The handsome scholar obviously didn't want to stay any longer, and quickly said goodbye to Yang Ning, but still looked at the little cloth tiger with some reluctance, and then motioned to the little scholar to leave.
Yang Ning rolled his eyes and said quickly: "Little brother, walk slowly."
The handsome scholar paused, turned around, and said warily: "Brother Yang, what else can you do?"
"Uh--, that's it. I think my little brother seems to like this little cloth tiger very much. How about I sell this little cloth tiger to my little brother?"
"Is it true that Brother Yang is really willing to give up his love?" The handsome scholar asked with some surprise and surprise. It seems that she really likes this little tiger.
"How can a gentleman be a beautiful man? In this way, this uncle was sold to me for ten taels of silver. I feel that I am in love with my little brother, so I will transfer it to you at the original price!" Yang Ning said in a bold and righteous tone.
Twelve!
The handsome scholar was dumbfounded when he heard this. The man named Han widened his eyes. Shui Ling also looked at Yang Ning in surprise: Brother An Ning is too brave to ask for it!
"Ten, ten taels? How can this thing be worth ten taels? Mr.——, Mr., this person is obviously blackmailing us!" The little book boy was anxious.
"Why is this thing not worth ten taels? Look at the workmanship and the materials used. This is really a rare treasure that can only be found! We must respect the wisdom of the working people!" Yang Ning said with "serious words and deep heart".
The handsome scholar did not speak, but stared into Yang Ning's eyes. After a long time, she slowly said: "Okay, I'll buy it for ten taels of silver!"
"Young Master——!" the little book boy was anxious.
"Take the money!" the handsome scholar said calmly.
Although the little book boy was extremely reluctant, since the master really liked him, she could only do as he was told.
Yang Ning really didn't expect this "fake scholar" to agree so readily. Based on his intuition, this "fake scholar" is not that easy to "coax"!
Taking the ingot of silver handed over by the little book boy, Yang Ning stared into the handsome scholar's eyes and said meaningfully: "Thank you!"
The handsome scholar's face turned red, he lowered his eyelids slightly and said, "Brother Yang, you're welcome. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave!"
Yang Ning also followed the example of the ancients, cupping his hands and saying: "See you soon!"
The handsome scholar motioned to the little book boy to take the little cloth tiger, then looked at Shui Ling seemingly unintentionally, and then turned and left.
As soon as the handsome scholar and the little book boy walked away, Shui Ling couldn't wait to say: "Brother Aning, ten taels of silver, you really dare to ask for a price!"
"Hey! I dare to ask for it, but only if someone is willing to buy it! Ling'er, take this ingot of silver to the nearby store and exchange it for scattered silver." Yang Ning looked at the handsome scholar's back thoughtfully.
"Okay!" Shui Ling took the money, turned around and walked to a nearby bank.
"Little brother, uncle has opened his eyes today. This thing of mine is actually worth such a 'sky-high price'!" The man surnamed Han sighed, his words only showed a sense of disbelief, but he was not jealous of these ten taels of silver. the meaning of.
"Haha, Uncle Han, after all, it's not you who does this well!" Yang Ning praised.
Yang Ning and the man surnamed Han didn't exchange a word before Shui Ling came back with a handful of broken silver.
Yang Ning took the silver, grabbed about seven taels, and said to the man named Han: "Uncle Han, it stands to reason that this thing belongs to you, and these ten taels of silver should all belong to you, but unfortunately we are in urgent need of money recently. Therefore, these seven taels of silver belong to you, and the rest should be borrowed from you by us, and we will definitely pay them back in the future!"
The man surnamed Han didn't believe his ears and said hurriedly: "Oh, little brother, this can't be done. I have already given the things to you, and they are yours. No matter how much they are sold for, they are all yours." Of course, all my abilities must be yours, how can I ask for them!"
"Uncle, no matter what, this thing belongs to you. It's not easy for you to do this business. We won't need so much at the same time, so just accept it!" Shui Ling also helped to persuade.
"No, no, absolutely not, I can't take this money!" The man named Han still disagreed.
Yang Ning and Shui Ling argued hard, but in the end, the man named Han couldn't resist, so he agreed to accept the three taels of silver.
Yang Ning had to admire this man's simplicity. For this man, these seven taels of silver were a huge sum of money, but this man was not greedy for money. In modern society, such a person would only be beaten. It’s hard to find even with a lantern!
Not far away, sitting at a table by the window on the second floor of "Tian Tian Ju", were a handsome scholar and a young scholar. They were staring at Yang Ning and the other three people from a distance.
"Sir, am I right? This guy lied to us. If he had really bought this little cloth tiger a long time ago, why would he have to give that guy any more money!"
The handsome scholar was playing with the beautiful little cloth tiger with his green onion-like hands. Hearing this, he said calmly: "Ulan, do you think I don't know that he is asking for a price?"
"Then why are you still——?" the little book boy named Wu Lan asked puzzledly.
The handsome scholar smiled and said: "Because I know that this young man is not that kind of treacherous villain. If he were not in trouble, he would not take such a trick. We are not short of this little money, so there is no harm in helping him!"
"But how come you are so sure that he is not a bad person?"
"Because of this man's eyes! His eyes are exceptionally clear and bright, and they are full of calmness and confidence. It is impossible for a cunning villain to have such eyes! What's more, if he is just for money, he doesn't have to use the money. For that man!"
Wu Lan said unconvinced: "I just feel that this guy is very bad and thick-skinned!" After a pause, she said a little embarrassedly: "However, when this guy has a serious face, he is really scary!"
The handsome scholar looked thoughtfully at Yang Ning in the distance and murmured to himself: "What's even more frightening is this young man's gaze! His gaze seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts and see through everything! If I'm not afraid that he will find out our identities, but I really want to make friends with him! This is a very wonderful person. Judging from his age, he is at most similar to you and me!"
After a pause, the handsome scholar sighed again and said: "After this trip south, I found that the land of the Central Plains is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! But on the other hand, our Mongolian tribes are torn apart and fighting among themselves. It is even more difficult to find people like me. With talented people like Temujin Khan, Batu, and Zhebie, there is little hope of restoring the infinite glory of our great Yuan Dynasty!"
"Princess, don't be so pessimistic. At least, we still have you. You have been extremely intelligent and resourceful since you were a child. Now you are the right-hand man of the Great Khan, making plans for the Great Khan and winning thousands of miles. Since you have been by the Great Khan's side, , Our Khanate has frequently won victories in foreign wars, its power has expanded day by day, and the lives of its people have become better and better!" Ulan looked at the handsome scholar with admiration.
"No matter how you say it, I am just a girl. Traveling around the world and making contributions are men's business. But for me, doing these things is too tiring and difficult!" The handsome scholar looked out the window in ecstasy. , said with infinite weariness in his expression.
These words proved that Yang Ning was indeed right. The master and servant were indeed not from the Central Plains, and this handsome scholar was actually a Mongolian princess!
"Princess, we have been out long enough this time. It's time to go back. Otherwise, both the Great Khan and the little prince will be worried!" Ulan said again.
"Hmph! How can they have time to care about me? They are probably busy trying to get jealous of that charming third lady! How can such an unlucky old man and a young man achieve such great things?" the handsome scholar said coldly, showing a tight smile. Her eyebrows show her inner worries.
