The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 39

The girl reached out her hands and grabbed the sack.

Everyone in the audience was heartbroken.

Some people said that the girl couldn't lift it up at all; some people blamed Qin Wan for buying or not, why bother the poor girl; some people agreed, saying that it is basic common sense to inspect the goods before selling.There are different opinions, and more and more people are watching.

Liuying secretly grabbed the sleeves, the girl was about the same age as her, and was very thin, she couldn't bear to carry such a heavy sack.

But Qin Wan didn't seem to think there was anything wrong, and calmly watched the girl carry the sack.

The man cursed at this moment: "Damn it, what are you talking about, that bratty girl! Lift it up for me."

The aggrieved people among the onlookers began to encourage the girl, and everyone present was sweating.

The girl used all her strength to really lift the sack up. Not only that, but she also persisted for three seconds before slowly putting it down.

Qin Wan smiled, looking very satisfied.

The man was also happy at this time: "Madam, what do you think? Is it okay?"

Qin Wan looked down at his nails, raised his eyebrows, walked up to the girl, and asked more harshly, "Does it count?"

The man, the girl, and Liuying were all stunned.

Qin Wan took out a silver ingot from his waist, shook it in his hand, and shone it in the sun.

When the man saw the silver, his eyes lit up: "I can count, I can count."

Qin Wan smiled: "It just so happens that I lack a buddy who can count, but I have to test you first, how much is nine plus five?"

Girl: "Fourteen."

Qin Wan asked again: "32 plus nineteen?"

The girl did a mental calculation: "51."

At this time, someone in the crowd applauded.

Qin Wan increased the difficulty: "Nine times eight?"

The girl blurted out: "72."

Qin Wan: "Eleven multiplied by eleven?"

Girl: "120 one."

Qin Wan: "What about twelve times twelve?"

Not only the onlookers, but even the owner of the song and dance workshop were all surprised. They never thought that this girl could count.Liuying's pity for the girl just now quietly turned into admiration.

The girl replied: "140 four."

Qin Wan smiled with satisfaction: "Since you know how to count, five taels of silver is really affordable."

She squinted at the owner of the song and dance studio who was desperately lowering the price just now, his expression was ashen, regretting that he just took him away without five taels of silver.

But it's not over.

Qin Wan coughed lightly, and everyone around saw that she was about to speak again, and they all fell silent.

Qin Wan raised his eyebrows and asked the girl, "Since you know how to count, do you know the characters?"

The man who claimed to be the girl's "father" was also taken aback by Qin Wan's question at this time. He turned to look at the girl with doubts in his eyes.

"If she can read, then I can let her manage the warehouse in my store and classify the goods." Qin Wan pointed to the signboard of a store by the roadside and asked the girl, "Do you know what is written on it?" What is it?"

The girl followed Qin Wan's fingers and looked up at the plaque: "Cui's noodle shop."

The crowd of Ying Yang who were watching began to exclaim unsteadily.In the entire Yingyang City, there are not many girls who can read from ordinary families, let alone such a girl who is about to be trafficked.

"Have you ever read a book?" Qin Wan continued to ask.

The girl thought for a while and nodded.

Qin Wan was obviously very satisfied, a smile bloomed on her face, she took a hairpin from her head, and put it in the girl's hands affectionately: "I like this girl, let's not talk about anything else. Here, I will give you a gift, From now on you will..."

Qin Wan hadn't finished speaking yet, the owner of the song and dance studio lost his composure for a moment, immediately took out five taels of silver, pulled the man and said, "I'll give you five taels of silver, man, we'll take it away!"

The man immediately refused: "Just now you said that five taels of silver is expensive, but now you give it to me and I won't sell it! I won't sell it! If you want to buy it, how can you get ten taels of silver, not 15 taels!"

At this time, a wretched-looking rich man dressed in silk and satin suddenly walked out of the crowd of onlookers, and said with a smile: "I'll pay 20 taels, I'll buy this girl."

The crowd exploded, and the discussion became louder and louder.The owner of the song and dance workshop and the wretched rich man quarreled with each other, and they dragged the seller together to discuss the price.

At this time Yuan Ying came back, she squeezed through the crowd, walked up to Qin Wan quietly, and whispered sideways.After hearing this, Qin Wan nodded and said a few words to Yuan Ying.Liuying didn't care about what Qin Wan and Yuan Ying were saying, her heart was on the girl, listening to the two buyers competing to raise the price, she was afraid that Qin Wan would think it was too expensive and change her mind.

The owner of the song and dance workshop and the wretched man had a big quarrel in the street. The seller sat on the floor with his arms folded and raised the price. The sound of quarreling and discussion filled the whole street, attracting more onlookers. Even the shopkeepers on both sides of the long street put down The businessman went to the street to see what happened, only the girl stood quietly aside.

Qin Wan noticed that the girl was looking at her with complicated emotions in her eyes.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Qin Wan approached the girl's ear and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I use this hairpin for self-defense. Now I give it to you. You can decide how to use it yourself."

After finishing speaking, Qin Wan took a few steps back and walked into the crowd.

The seller obviously didn't want to mess with the owner of the song and dance studio and the wretched rich second generation anymore, and looked back at Qin Wan who had already walked into the crowd, thinking she was leaving, so he trotted up to Qin Wan: "Ma'am, you have also tested this person. I also passed the test, 25 taels, what do you think? If you want to pay, my girl will give it to you right away."

The onlookers were not ashamed of his face of sitting on the ground and raising prices five times, and they all started pointing.

The corner of Qin Wan's mouth twitched: "You have such a good girl, you have the strength, you can count and read, and you don't even know it. It's only 25 taels, which is really cheap. If I do, I'll have to sell it for 100 taels anyway. "

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was shocked. Liuying was so frightened that she quickly grabbed Qin Wan and said in a low voice, "Mother, are you crazy?"

Qin Wan looked at the girl with kind and affirmative eyes: "What do you think? How much do you think you are worth?"

The girl seemed to have received great encouragement from Qin Wan's eyes, and said slowly, "I think I'm worth it..."

As she spoke, she slowly approached the man who betrayed her, tightly grasping the hairpin that Qin Wan secretly gave her, and raised her hand to insert it into the man's right neck, blood spurting out and splashing everywhere.

"Go to hell!" the girl roared angrily, blood splashed all over her face and body, very relieved.

All the people at the scene were shocked, and the scene was chaotic in an instant. Men and women ran away screaming, and the shops and stalls were in chaos.

Yuan Ying stretched out her hand nervously in front of Qin Wan, Liu Ying turned pale with fright, Qin Wan looked at the girl in surprise and admiration.

She actually didn't expect that the girl would be so ruthless and directly insert a hairpin into the man's neck.

At this moment, Ying Yang Fu Yin came in a hurry with a group of officials, and quickly surrounded the scene.At this time, the owner of the singing and dancing workshop and the wretched rich second generation had long since disappeared, only the buyer who was lying on the ground bleeding from his neck, the girl who was sold, and Qin Wan.
