"three two"
"Five taels."
"Six two"
"Eight taels."
Both sides are shouting the price, and the gamblers add one tael to one tael every time. It's not that they are too cautious, afraid that they will raise the price too hard, and Gu Xiran will become suspicious, but that no matter how much money they have, they can't Limited, can't add many times, so I don't have money to throw in the dustpan, just like this, it's still a three-fifth piece of scattered silver, which needs to be called by the beautiful scenery with a scorpion, sometimes even copper coins Counted out.
Gu Xiran's sudden move was too ruthless, and they were all groaning secretly in their hearts. There were six people in total, and all the money they had in hand was only twenty taels. Carry some money on your body, otherwise it is a question of whether you can make up three taels.
These people originally wanted to start a business with no capital and huge profits, but now they are in a very embarrassing situation because of the money problem. They only have twenty taels of silver in hand, which means that as long as Gu Xiran pays twenty-one taels of silver, they will have nothing to do. With the spare power to raise the price, at most, I can only get out obediently with the twenty-one taels of silver in my pocket, and half of it will be given to Jiang Haitian.
When the "nine taels" was called again, the skinny man gritted his teeth a bit, hoping that Gu Xiran's patience would run out, and it would be best to add ten or twenty taels next time.
Who would have thought that Gu Xiran was very patient, he only smiled slightly and said, "Eleven taels."
He took it easy, no more, no less, and only added two or two each time.
The "Twelve Liang" thin man tried his best to hold his breath.
Gu Xiran raised his hand and threw two taels of silver into the dustpan: "Fourteen taels."
"Fifteen taels"
This time, when watching the thin man throw the silver into the dustpan, Gu Xiran had a slightly sarcastic smile on his lips.
Jiang Haitian and the gamblers felt their heartbeats suddenly quickened, and even their breathing became a little short-
he can't hold his breath
He's going to raise the price
Thinking that the long-awaited moment is finally coming, who would have thought that Gu Xiran didn't lose the money, but just leaned back lazily in the chair, saying: "I'm so tired."
Jiang Haitian stared at the money box he was holding in his arms and swallowed, but he didn't dare to rush him, just smiled flatteringly: "Why don't you take a break first?"
Gu Xiran shook his head, took a sip from the tea bowl and said, "I won't play anymore."
After saying a word, Jiang Haitian and the gamblers were stunned, as if they didn't understand what he was saying.
Gu Xiran smiled slightly: "Meimei, bring the dustpan, the money in it is ours."
Meijing agreed, and when she came forward to withdraw the money, the group suddenly woke up. Without even thinking about it, the thin man stopped in front of the dustpan first, not allowing Meijing to get any closer, with a ferocious expression on his face. Staring at Gu Xiran sullenly, he said, "Are you kidding us?"
"Tricking you?" Gu Xiran sneered: "I don't think it's worth spending so much money to buy a maid, so I gave up on the price. You take it away, and I'll take the money. This is not a pre-established rule, how can you call it tricking you?"
The thin man was choked up by his question, and he was startled before he said: "What about that person? You can only get money when you meet him."
Seeing the question, Gu Xiran said to Shu Huan, "Call her here"
Shu Huan nodded and went out to lead someone. The remaining group of gamblers and Jiang Haitian looked at each other there, but he was really willing to make friends.
Before they came, they also imagined this kind of situation, and they were still a little worried, but Gu Xiran kept telling them that Lao Tzu had plenty of money, and it was impossible to let him go, so he let them go in a very misleading manner. The vigilance and defense in my heart, I never thought that he suddenly said to give up and gave up
It's just that he will give up now, which is completely different from the result of giving up before the price competition. The fifteen taels of silver they invested will all go back to his pocket
Thinking of this, the gamblers are always digging in their hearts, and when they look at Jiang Haitian again, their eyes become extremely unfriendly——
It's all this guy's bad idea, cheating them so much money
Fifteen taels of silver, although the loss is only a little more than two taels if it is spread on each person's head, but just a little more than two taels of silver is enough for them to spend a month
How could Jiang Haitian care about them? He was almost paralyzed to the ground, because not only did he not get any money, but he also paid out four taels, and the worst thing was that he had to return the five taels worth of money he got from selling someone yesterday
Gu Xiran looked at the expressions on their faces, and showed a faint smile. He didn't expect Jiang Haitian to join hands with gamblers to extort money, but he soon realized it, and he simply decided to invite you into the urn. Don't blame him for being cruel.
Shu Huan soon came with appreciation, and the little girl silently walked to Gu Xiran's side with her face lowered and stopped.
Gu Xiran glanced at her indifferently, without any superfluous expression, and only said: "Here is the person, you can take them away, leave the money for me, and—"
He said and looked at Jiang Haitian, who was staring at his heart: "The five taels worth of money will be returned, if you have no money, write an IOU."
Jiang Haitian was busy confirming Xinxin's identity, and didn't care about the money for the time being, so he just took two steps forward and asked tentatively, "Yuqing, is it really you?"
When he approached, Xiangxin shrank timidly and hated his approaching very much, but then remembered Shu Huan's advice, bit her lip, suddenly raised her face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes I"
The moment he saw her face, Jiang Haitian's pupils shrank rapidly, and he took several steps back in shock. One of them couldn't stand still, and fell directly to the ground: "You...you..."
That face is so scary
The upper half of the face is still beautiful and bright, with a pair of bright eyes, but the lower half of the face, from the bridge of the nose down to the head and neck covered by the collar, is full of burn marks. It seems that the injury has been done for a long time, and the new flesh is uneven when it heals Layered on the face, it showed an unusually fresh and soft pink color, making her look weird and ghostly.
The group of gamblers were also in an uproar, and involuntarily took two steps back.
Facing their horror, she felt refreshed, but instead she took two steps closer and said with a sneer, "Why, doesn't Uncle know Yuqing?"
"Your voice...your face..." Jiang Haitian couldn't express the shock in his heart. Of course, he was not concerned or guilty, but just overly surprised and scared.
Surprised, it was unexpected that the handsome niece would turn into such a terrifying appearance now. As for being afraid, he thought that his niece was going to be used by gamblers to pay off debts, and now that she was disfigured like this, who else would want it
Soon fear overwhelmed surprise and gained the upper hand.
Facing those eyes that he had seen countless times, so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar with them, he turned over and got up from the ground, and said with a firm heart: "No, you are not Yuqing."
It wasn't Yuqing's words that made him see a glimmer of light in his despair, his attitude immediately became firm, and he immediately put aside the gratification, turned his head and said to Gu Xiran: "Master, this ugly girl is not my niece Yuqing, I am not at all. I don’t know her, so don’t hide her, just hand her over.”
