Under Zhan Wenxuan's cold eyes, Xiang Yongchang's face became paler and paler, and cold sweat broke out on his back. How could he get anything good if he fell into his hands?!
As expected, a deep voice was heard the next moment: "This tea set is my favorite. Now Master Xiang broke it and one of the tea sets is missing. So I will compensate you according to the price!"
After finishing his words, he glanced at Bai Yu, who quickly went out and invited Lin Yi over to inquire about the price of this set of cups.
On the way, he was afraid that Lin Yi would not know his master's thoughts, so he lowered his voice and explained. Fortunately, Lin Yi had also figured out Zhan Wenxuan's temperament, and did not think there was anything wrong with these words. On the contrary,
Very willing to cooperate!
The two of them entered the door one after another. Lin Yi looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and his expression darkened. However, he still held the butler's "arrogance" and saluted Zhan Wenxuan before asking Xiang Yongchang: "Xiang Yongchang"
Valley Master, why did your cup break?"
Xiang Yongchang is afraid of being talked about this now. No matter whether this cup is sweet white glaze or not, but Zhan Wenxuan said it is, it must be!
The quality of this thing is directly linked to the money. The better the quality, the higher the price. If you don't pay thousands of taels of silver for your trip to Su Mansion today, don't even think about leaving...
"It's all my fault. I accidentally broke it just now. Could you please Butler Lin tell me how much this cup is worth? I'd like to have someone send money to compensate my niece."
Xiang Yongchang's words were already very polite. They say "don't hit someone with a smiling face", so with his old face and humble attitude, he must be able to fool this matter.
Lin Yi stood up straight and folded his hands naturally hanging in front of him. After listening to Xiang Yongchang's words, he said: "According to Xiang Guzhu's status, he has seen a lot of good things. Especially this cup and cup.
Yes, I should have met him before."
"Now that one cup is broken, the rest cannot be used. Besides, this tea set is also made by a famous artist. It is the favorite of His Highness the King and my young lady."
"Based on the calculation of one thousand taels for a cup, eight cups would cost eight thousand taels. As for the matching teapot, let's count a little less. If we calculate two thousand taels, the whole set will cost ten thousand taels of silver..."
Lin Yi's mouth was babbling, and all he needed was the abacus in his hand, which made the calculations "crackling." However, when these amounts were quoted, the eyes of Xiang Yongchang's family of three almost fell out of their sockets.
"One - ten thousand taels? Did the housekeeper remember the price incorrectly?" Naturally, Xiang Yongchang couldn't say that Lin Yi was blackmailing someone.
Just now Zhan Wenxuan said that he also likes this set of cups. Just this sentence is worth a lot of money!
Now he was extremely embarrassed. Mrs. Xiang's hand beside him only grasped his sleeve. She was obviously frightened by this "exorbitant price cup".
God knows that when they came to the capital this time, they only brought 10,000 taels of silver notes. Although they had received a lot of "filial piety" these days, they were all gold, silver, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and there were very few silver notes.
Now asking them to give 10,000 taels at once, isn't it just carving out their flesh?!
Lin Yi shook his head and said firmly: "I, Lin Yi, have been working in the Su Mansion for so many years, and I have never misrecorded the price! If Master Xiang doesn't believe it, I will get the account book right now -"
After saying this, Lin Yi raised his feet and prepared to walk out. Xiang Yongchang's heart trembled when he saw it, and he quickly stopped the person back.
He made a smile that was even uglier than crying, and said angrily: "Since the housekeeper has said so, I will admit it! Ten thousand taels is ten thousand taels. I will take my wife and daughter back to the inn now.
, and someone will bring the banknote to you in a moment!”
If the money is gone, you can still make it again. If you lose your life because of Zhan Wenxuan's torment, it won't be fun...
But if you want him to pay money, you have to make a conditional exchange, right? Just let them leave here, and the banknote will be delivered immediately!
