Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 761 Simple Transactions
After waiting for a while, Liu Yunxiang heard someone coming upstairs.

"Let me carry a basket for you." It was Zijin's voice.

"No, stay away from me, be careful not to touch me."

The voice was hoarse but full of joy, it should be Xie Wenying.

"Is it heavy?"

"It's not too heavy. A rich man built a manor a few years ago. I even went to carry stones. It's more neat than a bunch of lords."

Liu Yunxiang shook his head and smiled, you must know that this was once the eldest girl of the Hou Mansion, a real noble daughter of a noble family.

As the voice got closer, the curtain of the wing room opened.Then Xie Wenying came in with a burden, and when she saw Liu Yunxiang, she was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled all over her face: "Oh, how can there be such a good-looking person in this world, who is really like the fairy concubine in the drama. Do you have any?" Good luck, my buns have thin skin and big stuffing. Take a bite and the oil will ooze out. Don’t want to miss the fragrance. I have two baskets, hundreds of them, and they sell for three yuan on weekdays. One hundred is three hundred yuan. You see that you buy so much, I should give you a cheaper price, but if it’s less than ten or twenty yuan, you don’t think so.”

Xie Wenying spoke more and more vigorously, looking at Liu Yunxiang with shining eyes.

Liu Yunxiang poured a cup of tea and pushed it to the opposite chair, "Miss Xie, please sit down and have a sip of tea first."

Hearing this address, Xie Wenying's face froze suddenly, and she immediately put away her smile, and then stared at Liu Yunxiang.

"you are?"

It was Zijin who replied, "This is Princess Zhenbei."

Then Xie Wenying was taken aback, changed her mind several times, and then hurriedly saluted, "It turned out to be the princess of Zhenbei, the lady is blind, and Princess Wanwang has a lot of ladies. The lady didn't dare to disturb the princess, so she went out. "

As she said that, Xie Wenying hurriedly picked up the pole and was about to leave immediately.

"My concubine has nothing to do with the Jing'an Hou Mansion, so there is no need for the eldest girl to rush to clear things up."

"The weather is bad, and the women have to go down to sell buns."

"My princess wants your two baskets of buns."

"It's just vulgar things, not worthy of entering the mouth of the princess."

At this time, there was a sudden thunderstorm outside, and it was very fast, and the room was dark.

"If you don't sell these two baskets of steamed buns to me, you will have to take them home," Liu Yunxiang said.

Xie Wenying stood at the door for a long time, finally he took a breath, turned and entered the house.She put the two baskets of buns on the ground, then went to sit down opposite Liu Yunxiang, picked up the cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

"I posted it last afternoon. After dinner, I started making stuffing. I got up twice at night to see how far the noodles were made. Before dawn, the whole family got up and got busy. My son rolled the dough, I made the buns, and my husband lit the fire. The first pot came out, and I rushed to the market to sell it. Today’s business is not very good, and only half of it was sold. When I got home, I ate a little in a hurry. The second pot and the third pot came out, and the family helped pack them. It's the basket. When I was about to go out, the sky suddenly became overcast. I was just shouting hard at the bottom and begging God, begging him to rain later, when I sold out the buns. I heard that someone wanted to sell my two baskets. I bought all the buns, and I was greatly relieved, thinking that I can make some money without losing money today, and I don’t want to be you.”

"What's wrong with me?" Liu Yunxiang raised an eyebrow.

"A nobleman like you came to buy my steamed stuffed buns specially, it's not because my steamed stuffed buns are delicious, right?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, this Xie Wenying is a sensible and smart person.She turned her head to look at the rain outside, and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, the calligraphy and painting that your husband asked you to sell must have gotten wet, right?"

Xie Wenying frowned, "Have you followed me to my house?"

"I did go to your house to find you on purpose."

Xie Wenying pursed her lips, "No one bought his calligraphy and paintings at all. I took them to the study in front of me. It would be nice if I could sell a pair once in a while to exchange for some ink."

It's time to get down to business, Liu Yunxiang explained Xiao Wu's murder and the current situation to Xie Wenying in detail.

Xie Wenying frowned, "You want me to play the Dengwen drum as the eldest girl of Jing'an Houfu."

Liu Yunxiang was silent for a while, "It should be the identity of the little five big sisters."

"Heh, let me tell you this, I have already forgotten what this fifth younger sister looks like, and I don't even have a trace of sisterhood. Besides, beating the Dengwen drum will attract some eyes and break our current peaceful life. Two What kind of grievances come, the person who beats the drum will be punished first, and half of his life will be lost.” Speaking of this, Xie Wenying snorted, “Am I crazy? Why should I play the drum?”

Liu Yunxiang sighed, it is obviously not feasible to use family affection to move Xie Wenying, and this method is also a bit excessive for people who have experienced the harm of relatives.

Liu Yunxiang glanced at the two baskets of steamed buns again, thought for a while, and said, "Girl, I sincerely buy these two baskets of steamed buns from you. Let me tell you a price. The one that makes you feel that you can knock on the Dengwen drum after weighing the pros and cons. price."

Family affection aside, this is an easy transaction.

Xie Wenying frowned. She looked at the heavy rain outside first. It was raining very fast, and there was no one on the street. The two baskets of buns must not be sold today.She looked at Liu Yunxiang again, with confusion and incomprehension in her eyes.

"I heard that you and the Jing'an Hou Mansion are having a tough fight, why do you want to help Xie's family catch the real culprit?"

Thinking of Xiao Wu, Liu Yunxiang felt a little uncomfortable, "Xie's family is selfish and harmful, but Xiao Wu grew up with me and left Xie's house with me, but I didn't take good care of her and let her eat so much. It was so hard, and he died of homicide in the end. I am sorry for this child, the only thing I can do is to catch the real culprit and bring him to justice."

Xie Wenying thought for a while after listening, "It's thirty big boards."

"Big girl, just make an offer."

"I am humble, even if I sell it by the catty, it is not worth a lot of money. It's just that the princess obviously can't find anyone else, so she can only find me. Things are rare, let alone people."

Liu Yunxiang lowered her eyes, Xie Wenying needed money so much, she wanted to ask for a big one, but she was afraid of ruining the deal.

"Then... the 1000 taels?" Xie Wenying tried to name a number, but seeing that Liu Yunxiang hadn't said a word, she hurriedly said again: "Wangfei can bargain, the big deal... 800 taels?"

"Thirty boards, the big girl only needs 1000 taels?"

Not much is too much. For Xie Wenying, who was once a noble daughter of a family, relying on the board to earn money, in addition to physical pain, there will also be a sense of psychological humiliation.

Xie Wenying was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly, "I have rough skin and thick flesh, 1000 taels is enough."

"That's 1000 taels." Liu Yunxiang said,
"Then...our deal is concluded?"

"It's a deal." Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, "But do you want to go back and discuss it with your husband?"

"No, the board is on me, discuss something with him."
