Hmm...

Is this a Song Dynasty salesman?

What a talent!

Jiang Chen looked at the fair and plump maid with a friendly face with a surprised look on his face.

But Zhang Yuexin didn't think this maid was very cute.

Her husband and Zhang Hongwen were both noble officials in the Hanlin Academy. They only lived on their monthly salary, and their family did not have much money left.

As soon as the maid praised the clothes so well, she subconsciously touched the purse at her waist and asked nervously: "My wife has no shortage of luxurious and bright clothes at home. This set is enough. How much does it cost?"

?”

"Two sets together are four hundred guan, and buying one set alone is 220 guan!" the maid replied with a smile.

"Two hundred and twenty strings?"

Zhang Yuexin's eyelids jumped wildly in shock, and she had the urge to throw her clothes on the ground.

It can be seen that everyone around her is staring at her and the clothes in her hands with envy, especially in front of Liu Yueniang, she really can't lose that face.

So he said to Zhang Hongwen expectantly: "Second brother, I didn't bring that much money here today. You give it to me first."

"I...I only have more than sixty."

Zhang Hongwen replied awkwardly.

Although the Zhang family is a wealthy family, his father did not live well and passed away early. Now he relies on the support of his fifth uncle Zhang Shangying to maintain his appearance of glory, and he is reluctant to buy such expensive clothes.

"This... what should I do?" Xin

Zhang Yuexin's face was full of embarrassment, and she wanted to return her clothes to the maid as she spoke.

At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly made a move, snatched the clothes away, and angrily said:

"Why are you so unreasonable? You can't afford clothes but you still want to rob them from my wife? Isn't this a sincere attempt to cause trouble and affect the store's business?"

As his words fell, the third sister-in-law of the Pan family and others immediately echoed:

"It's just that if you can't afford it, you still won't let others buy it. Isn't it too unreasonable?"

"It's just a bully to the point of bullying!"

"Let me tell you, since you have expelled Mrs. Jiang from the Zhang family, they have nothing to do with you! Just let go and let everyone live their own peaceful lives. Why bother forcing each other?"

"That makes sense! I think so too!"

…

Well--

Zhang Yuexin's face turned red and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to die.

Zhang Hongwen and his wife Sun Cuiyun also looked away in shame.

However, Zhang Yue'e, who was still young, said to Jiang Chen unconvinced:

"We can't afford it, how can you afford it? Not to mention that you have only been an official for a few days. Even if you have been frugal for a year as an official, you still can't afford such expensive clothes!"

"Yes, we can't afford it, and neither can you. What are you proud of?"

Zhang Hongwen and Zhang Yuexin immediately became energetic again towards Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen shook his head in a funny way and ordered to Liu Yuancheng: "Yuancheng, take the money and buy two sets together!"

"Yes, brother!"

Liu Yuancheng placed the robe on his back like a sack on the ground and directly counted out 400 strings and handed them to the maid.

The maid beamed with joy and bowed to Liu Yueniang and said sweetly: "Madam, you are so lucky to be married to such a young, promising and family-oriented official. It is really enviable!"

Liu Yueniang raised the corners of her mouth and looked at Jiang Chen with a happy face.

But the faces of Zhang Hongwen and Zhang Yuee were extremely ugly and stiff.

Zhang Yuexin couldn't help but look at her husband Wang Wenhan, who had been silent, with disappointment.

Wang Wenhan was conceited about his talent and was qualified to stay in the Imperial Academy, so he looked down on Jiang Chen, who had a higher official position than him, so he didn't bother to interrupt just now.

But seeing that his wife was being bullied, he couldn't help it anymore, raised his chin and looked at Jiang Chen:

"I heard someone said that you once boasted about your poetry and were willing to gamble with one thousand guan. How about you and I bet on a poem with lotus as the theme today?

If you lose, in addition to compensating money and returning the clothes to my wife, you must also apologize to my wife. Do you dare to agree?"

"Do you dare to agree?"

Zhang Hongwen was quite confident in Wang Wenhan's talent and knowledge. Hearing this, he looked directly at Jiang Chen provocatively.

When Zhang Yuexin saw that her official stood up for her, she was so excited that her pretty face flushed red, and she proudly said to Jiang Chen:

"Let me tell you, my husband is a member of the Imperial Academy and cannot be compared to someone like you who is a craftsman. If you don't dare, we won't take the money and just take that woman to apologize to my wife!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yue'e couldn't help but said to Jiang Chen: "You don't only have one poem from beginning to end, do you? I don't know if it was you who composed it, but I still have to spend a thousand poems to compete with you. Is it possible?

Are you feeling guilty?"

"Someone wants to give me money, what should I feel guilty about?"

Jiang Chen had a funny look on his face. He looked at the naughty Wang Wenhan and said, "I'm just a little worried. Your wife can't even afford a piece of clothing. Where did you get a thousand dollars to make a bet with me? I'll lose you."
