On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 241 Begging
After hearing this, Old Man Xiao nodded repeatedly: "You are still thoughtful."

In the past, it was truly unimaginable that the eldest granddaughter who had divorced could marry into a wealthy family like the Jiang family.

As long as the eldest granddaughter marries well, she will naturally make plans for her younger brothers and sisters, and of course he won't have any objections.

So Mr. Xiao asked the clerk: "Are you going to sell this set of teak furniture? What price will it cost?"

"Teak is also a good wood. It is strong and durable, not easily deformed, and will not crack." Seeing them asking about the price, the waiter was delighted: "You can take it home for only 468 taels of silver."

My master, my wife, has been to the Dong family several times.

The Dong family finally said that they did not want the sixty-eight taels deposit, nor did they want this set of furniture.

The future son-in-law is dead, and it's hard to talk to others about my daughter for a while. So wouldn't taking it back be just to see things and miss people?
The Dong family didn't want their daughter to dwell on their lost childhood sweetheart and fiancé, so the betrothal gifts and other betrothal gifts were refundable and thrown away.

The lumber owner also had a headache. The furniture was good, but the price was not cheap. He was afraid that it would not be sold for a while and would take up space.

Besides, the texture of this teak wood is natural and elegant, and the planed surface is golden in color. It takes regular sitting and rubbing to make the color more attractive.

If they were piled here, he would have to come and clean them every day, which would be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

If it can be sold now, it will not only allow the master to remember his work, but also save himself the need to wipe it every day.

Boss Xiao will definitely make a counter-offer: "This furniture is unlucky and it's so expensive. Don't think of me as a scapegoat, right?"

"Sir, you misunderstood. We are a century-old store and we would never dare to rip off customers." The waiter quickly explained with a smile: "As soon as you come here, I will explain the ins and outs to you, right?"

He didn't want to say it, but if they were willing to spend hundreds of taels of silver to buy such expensive furniture, they definitely couldn't be ordinary people. What if they dared to hide it and wait for others to hear the news and knock on their door?
Boss Xiao looked at Xiao Xiao.

He admits he's not very good at counteroffering.

Xiao Xiao was not polite: "Three hundred and sixty-six taels of silver, we will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."

The clerk took a deep breath and shook his head like a rattle: "Girl, without you bargaining like this, we would have lost too much."

Xiao Xiao thought to himself: I'm sorry, the main reason is that I just cut it in half before, so if I don't break your bones today, it's still a bit leisurely.

But since he got this price, he didn't chase people away, so there was a way.

She continued to induce: "It's the Chinese New Year, and you have to withdraw funds. If you sell, will your boss give you a big red envelope?"

"Besides, my family has a lot of guests during the Chinese New Year. When people see our newly added furniture, they will definitely be amazed and ask where they bought it. Then I will say that I bought it from your shop for 468 taels of silver. I will definitely give it to you. Bringing in a lot of business..."

This is just to draw a cake for them. I think they will definitely not be surprised when they come to the Jiang family.

This was the first time the guy met such a eloquent girl, and he almost outshone him.

Anyway, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he just went to ask his master to come over.

But even when his master came, after some haggling, the deal was finally settled for three hundred and eighty-eight taels.

That afternoon, Boss Xiao and the others had a new canopy bed installed in their new house, and new tables, chairs and benches were also used in the living room.

Boss Xiao didn't waste a moment. When the furniture was delivered to his home, he drove the mule cart to Wu's house.

Don’t forget to bring along the mistress who is sharp-tongued and clever.

Xiao Lian also pulled Erlang to follow her, and said plausibly: "Dad wants to take us out to see the world more, so that we can learn more." "The most important thing is that we have the strength in numbers, and we can overwhelm us with our momentum. to each other.”

Then he revealed the dagger hidden in his sleeve: "If the Wu family takes action, we can also help, right?"

Boss Xiao muttered: "You are able to speak now."

They all made him, his biological father, speechless and unable to refute.

He simply called Xiao Laoer and asked him to drive the car.

Xiao Sanlang automatically became Xiao Xiao's companion and went with him.

Let’s talk about the Wu family.

The Wu Dong family was embarrassed in front of Mrs. Chen, the Xiao family, and the Jiang family last time, but this time they really calmed down a lot when they came back.

It's not that they want to calm down, but Mrs. Wu went to the Chen Mansion to see Aunt Wu, but the concierge refused to let her in, saying that her aunt was frightened and she had to take good care of her, so she couldn't worry about it.

Mrs. Wu was very angry, but she couldn't do anything. She didn't dare to break in, so she could only return in vain.

Wu Dong's family just wanted to see their nephew.

But Chen Dalang was really sick this time.

After all, he was still young. The first time he encountered rebels attacking the city, and there were spies inside to make trouble, he dared not fall down with such courage.

When he won, he couldn't hold on anymore and started to have a fever that day.

County Magistrate Chen quickly urged his wife and daughter-in-law to come back so that they could take care of Da Lang and also take care of him, otherwise he would worry that he would collapse too.

That Young Master Chen is really ill.

Furthermore, the Wu family's restaurant was also in trouble. First, it was eaten and robbed by the rebels, and then several groups of people were stolen in the dark. Not to mention that there was no rice, flour, grain, and oil left, and even the tables, chairs, and benches were moved. empty.

Now even if Wu Dong's family wanted to open a restaurant again, it would take several days to purchase these things, not to mention that the prices of rice, flour, grain and oil have increased.

He was even more afraid that if the rebels came again after all his hard work, wouldn't his hard work be in vain?
My family can't afford to go through such trouble.

The Wu Dong family discussed with Mrs. Wu: "Set up the marriage of Da Lang as soon as possible. You can go to the Shi family later. To put it mildly, if the Shi family doesn't have any excessive conditions, then everyone will agree and let the matchmaker come. Set a date, it is best to marry Miss Shi in March next year."

Fengyu Grain House belongs to the Shi family. Not only does it have food and money, but this time the rebels attacked the city, the Shi family donated a lot of food. Now the Shi family has a good reputation.

Mrs. Wu was a little reluctant: "Isn't this too urgent?"

It wasn't that she didn't like the eldest daughter of the Shi family, but that she valued her eldest son and wanted to arrange his marriage in a dignified manner.

"Why don't you think about it carefully?" Mr. Wu glared at her and said angrily: "Now everyone thinks that the Chen family went out to seek refuge, and they didn't forget to take us with them."

"If others find out, you won't even be able to enter the Chen Mansion. Everyone in the world will praise you and disdain others. What will happen if the Shi family regrets it?"

His abacus jingled: "I can also take advantage of the opportunity of the elder man's marriage to meet my sister or my nephew."

"As long as they come forward, no one will doubt us in a short period of time."

"When the time comes, you take your daughter-in-law to the Chen Mansion. For the sake of the Shi family, Mrs. Chen can't stop you from seeing your sister."
