I want to buy arowana for just one tael of silver...
What a joke.
Fu Ling said, "Don't make a mistake and be deceived."
Banxia said, "It's really similar."
Seeing that neither Su Tang nor Poria believed it, Banxia turned around and went out, bringing in the wooden barrel containing the arowana.
Su Tang was drinking tea, and Fuling came up to take a look, and then her eyes widened, "The Crown Princess, it seems like she really is an arowana."
Both Banxia and Poria had seen arowana, and now even Poria said it looked very similar, so Su Tang got up.
She looked into the barrel and saw a snow-white fish in a narrow barrel, a little transparent, noble and elegant.
It’s really a platinum arowana.
The size is almost the same as the one raised by the emperor.
Seeing that Su Tang also looked shocked, Ban Xia felt uneasy. She spent one tael of silver to buy the fish, but if it wasn't an arowana, she would have suffered a big loss.
Su Tang looked at Banxia, "Is this really bought with one tael of silver?"
Banxia nodded, "It's really just one tael. If I hadn't met a nasty boy, I could have bought it for one penny."
Banxia told Su Tang the story of buying arowana.
After Banxia left Prince Xin's Mansion, he took the receipt and went to Wancui Pavilion to get the gold bracelet. It was already lunch time. Banxia was hungry, so he wanted to buy some meat buns to cushion his stomach, so he went to buy some steamed buns.
On the way, she was asked if she wanted to buy fish. Banxia would definitely not buy fish. Jingmo Xuan only needed to give an order for any fish she wanted. As long as it was available in Kyoto, the big kitchen would bring it to her. There was no need to buy it herself.
But when someone called her, she glanced subconsciously and saw that the fish in the barrel looked very similar to the arowana she saw in the palace.
Banxia took a few more glances, and the more she looked, the more similar they became. To the extent that she put this one next to the one in the palace, she couldn't tell which one was raised by the emperor.
Arowana is so valuable, and more importantly, it has good eyesight. Even the emperor would not give it to him, but he likes the concubine of her family. Such a clever fish, Banxia would like to keep one, if it is not expensive.
Banxia asked about the price of the fish, and the fish seller said, "This is the first time I've seen this fish. Girl, just give it to me."
Banxia said, "Don't you know what kind of fish this is?"
The fish seller smiled and said, "There are so many fish in the world. I am just an ordinary fisherman. How can I know them all? I caught this fish in the moat. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful fish. I stewed it and ate it too much."
It's a pity, if you don't buy it, girl, take it home and keep it, this fish will definitely bring you good luck."
He was quite good at talking, so Banxia was about to buy it, but she nodded and came over to the boy and said, "I want this fish."
As he said that, he threw a few big coins to the fish seller, and then went to carry the barrel.
Ban Xia took a fancy to it first and said she wanted it. Could it be snatched away by a boy? I must snatch it back.
Banxia definitely couldn't beat the boy, so he could only buy it at a higher price. The two of them raised the price higher and higher, and the fish seller couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.
Banxia only had two taels of silver with her, and she had already spent one. However, she still had Mother Xu’s gold bracelet. If it didn’t work, she could use it first and ask Wancui Pavilion to catch another one later. In short, this fish was worth it to her.
It's decided.
Seeing that Ban Xia was determined to win, the servant said angrily, "Whose house are you a maid in? You are so arrogant. I am a servant in the house of the Minister of Household Affairs!"
Extremely arrogant.
Banxia patted her chest and said in horror, "Secretary of the Household Department, that's a high official."
The boy raised his neck proudly, "You know you're scared, right?"
Banxia said, "My mistress is the Crown Princess of Jingnan Palace, the Princess Protector bestowed upon her by the Emperor."
Boy, "..."
The servant's eyes widened, "Are you the maid of Princess Jingnan?!"
Ban Xia said word by word, "She is a personal maid, but I have been with my family's concubine since I was in Qingzhou." This chapter has been completed!
