Beautiful mayor's wife

The buddy has a good eloquence, and he talks babbling, babbling, babbling with Ma Xiaoyao.

Ma Xiaoyao stopped and pointed at a jade pendant the size of a child's palm: "How do you sell this thing?"

The clerk glanced at it, and immediately smiled: "Oh, the guest officer has a good eye, this jade pendant is the treasure of our store here! It is made of top-grade Hetian jade, and it is engraved by a famous artist. Oh, it also has a Its name is Fengyun Pei, if you take it out, it will definitely give you more face..."

"How much is it?" Ma Xiaoyao asked calmly.

"Uh...the price is 8000 taels of silver...if the guest officer really wants it, I can give you a little discount..." said the man.

Thirty-eight thousand taels of silver?The corners of Ma Xiaoyao's mouth curled up slightly, this guy really dared to ask for it!

"Guest officer, do you really like this jade pendant? How about I call out the shopkeeper and you talk to him in person?" the clerk asked tentatively. If the jade pendant can be sold, the clerk can get a fortune. Fei's bonus, that's why the guy was so enthusiastic.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Okay, you can call the shopkeeper."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment, I'm going to call the shopkeeper!" The guy turned around and ran towards the backyard, and disappeared in an instant.

Ma Xiaoyao stood beside the shelf with his hands behind his back, looking at the jade pendant on it, thinking secretly, such an ordinary piece of jade pendant sold for 8000 taels, wouldn't the jade pendant in his arms be more valuable?The jade pendant placed on the shelf was about the size of a baby's hand, and its shape was average, with a few small flowers carved on it, which was far worse than the jade pendant in Ma Xiaoyao's arms. Of course, the jade pendant on the shelf was real. The jade pendant in Xiaoyao's arms is fake.

"Guest officer, are you going to buy this jade pendant?" A middle-aged man in a satin gown came from the backyard, followed by the guy just now.

"This is the shopkeeper of our shop!" The man introduced.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded at the middle-aged man: "Hi shopkeeper, I'm here...not for shopping..."

"Don't buy anything?" The middle-aged man's face suddenly sank, and he turned his head and gave the man a hard look: "Didn't you say that he wants to buy that jade pendant!"

"Yes...he...that's what he said just now..." The man said with a pale face, "Who knows...he actually changed his mind..."

"My little brother, I'm afraid you misunderstood." Ma Xiaoyao smiled lightly: "I just asked casually just now, and I didn't say that I must buy this jade pendant. It was your own initiative to invite the shopkeeper..."

"Call me after you figure out the situation!" The middle-aged man threw down a sentence and was about to leave.

"Shopkeeper, please stay!" Ma Xiaoyao shouted.

"What? Do you have something else to do?" The middle-aged man frowned and asked, knowing that Ma Xiaoyao was not here for shopping, the middle-aged man immediately lost interest.

"I want to ask the shopkeeper, do you accept things here?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.

"Something? What is it?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows.

"Jade." Ma Xiaoyao said two words: "Very precious jade."

"Oh..." The middle-aged man became interested: "Take it out and let me have a look. If it's good, I can accept it."

Ma Xiaoyao was not pretentious, and directly took out a beautiful small box from his arms. Under the gaze of the middle-aged man, Ma Xiaoyao slowly opened the box cover, and a dazzling green light burst out from the box...

"This is..." The middle-aged man's eyes widened suddenly: "What a beautiful jade pendant... Can I take a closer look?" At this time, the middle-aged man's tone became more polite.

"Of course." Ma Xiaoyao generously handed the box to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man carefully took out the jade pendant, held it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully, while watching, he kept admiring: "It's a good thing...it's really a good thing...it looks like it should be made of top-grade Hetian jade... The carving is exquisite, and the most commendable thing is that it is still so big, with a dragon and a phoenix engraved on the front, and landscapes engraved on the back... Hey, there is something inside the jade pendant..." The middle-aged man leaned closer to the light and was shocked. He exhaled: "There is actually a little dragon and a little phoenix inside, and they can swim around... Treasures, peerless treasures!"

When he just took out the jade pendant, Ma Xiaoyao was still a little worried, for fear that the middle-aged man would find out his flaws, but after seeing the middle-aged man's surprised expression, Ma Xiaoyao was relieved immediately, it seems that the shopkeeper Mi Jiu really didn't lie to him .

"Shopkeeper, how about my item?" Ma Xiaoyao asked with a smile.

"Good! Good! That's great! It's simply the best!" The middle-aged man exclaimed loudly: "I've lived most of my life, and this is the first time I've seen such an exquisite jade article, a good thing, a good thing!"

"Then do you accept it?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.

"Accept! Such a good thing, of course I will accept it!" The middle-aged man nodded without hesitation: "May I ask, how did you get this thing?"

"A family heirloom." Ma Xiaoyao replied casually, "I wouldn't have sold it if I hadn't been short on money."

"Hmm..." The middle-aged man stroked his beard: "How much do you plan to sell it for?"

Ma Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "How much is the shopkeeper willing to pay?"

"This..." The middle-aged man nodded secretly. The guy in front of him is quite smart. He didn't want to bid lightly. He asked me to bid first. In this way, he can figure out my cards... Hmph, if that's the case, then I I'll give you a low price and see how you respond. Thinking of this, the middle-aged man stretched out five fingers: "5 taels of silver... How about it?"

"You're just kidding!" Ma Xiaoyao reached out and snatched the jade pendant, as if he was about to leave: "The price for such a good thing is only 5 taels of silver, and you are sending a beggar!"

"Hey, hey... stay here, guest officer, please stay here." The middle-aged man hurriedly stopped Ma Xiaoyao: "It's easy to discuss, easy to discuss... Since you dislike 5 taels of silver, then you can make an offer." .”

Ma Xiaoyao curled his lips: "I won't talk to you anymore, it's a one-buy price! One million taels of silver!"

"How much... How much?" The middle-aged man almost bit his tongue: "One million taels of silver? You...you are too high... This jade pendant is not bad, but it is not worth one million taels... ..."

"It's only 100 million taels. If you agree, we will trade now. If you don't agree, then I will find someone else!" Ma Xiaoyao said.

"Well, I'll give you 30 taels, which is the highest price I can offer. If you agree, I'll get you the banknote now..." The middle-aged man said: "If you can't accept it, go to other places." Go around the place, I dare to assure you that no one will bid higher than me..."

"I don't believe it! Such a good thing, no one wants it?" After leaving a word, Ma Xiaoyao left angrily.

The middle-aged man chased him out and shouted at Ma Xiaoyao's back: "I am always waiting for the guest officer!"

"Shopkeeper, is that jade pendant really so good?" the clerk asked cautiously.

"Of course! Otherwise I would be so caring?" The middle-aged man sighed: "Unfortunately, that guy's asking price is too high... Wait and see, other shops will definitely not bid too high, at least not too high Pass me, I can assure you, that guy will come back in the end..."

"When he comes back, we will take the opportunity to lower the price!" said the man.

"Let's talk about it at that time." The middle-aged man licked his dry lips: "The most important thing is to find a way to get that jade pendant...it's so beautiful...it's so beautiful..."

……

Ma Xiaoyao left on purpose, even if the other party really offered 100 million taels of silver, he would still find other excuses to leave.

Then he went to several shops, and when he took out the jade pendant, the shopkeepers of these shops all expressed their desire to buy it, and the bids were quite high, but Ma Xiaoyao didn't agree.

After dark, Ma Xiaoyao took off his disguise and returned to the inn swaggeringly.

Early the next morning, Ma Xiaoyao left the inn, found an empty alley to put on makeup, and then continued to shop with the jade pendant...

After Ma Xiaoyao made such a move, many people knew that Ma Xiaoyao had a top-quality jade pendant in his hand. The news came from a shop, and then it spread more and more widely, and finally reached Young Master Long's ears.

Young Master Long likes to collect jade articles the most. Hearing that someone has a top-quality jade pendant, Young Master Long is immediately tempted and sends a large number of men to find Ma Xiaoyao's whereabouts.

Ma Xiaoyao didn't want to hide his whereabouts, so Young Master Long's subordinates found Ma Xiaoyao easily...

In a luxuriously decorated courtyard.

Ma Xiaoyao looked at Young Master Long who was sitting on a chair drinking tea with an ugly expression: "What do you want to do?"

"I heard that you have a top-grade jade pendant in your hand?" Young Master Long asked lightly.

"Yes, I have a jade pendant, what's the matter!" Ma Xiaoyao nodded.

"Take it out and let me see it!" Young Master Long raised his eyebrows, "If the color is good, I will buy it!"

"Who are you! Why should I show you!" Ma Xiaoyao said angrily.

"Bold!" A dog-legged person jumped out, pointing at Ma Xiaoyao and yelling: "This is Young Master Long, do you know who the father of Young Master Long is? Speaking out scares you to death! Our Young Master Long's father is Lord Hou !"

"Master Hou's son!" Ma Xiaoyao was startled: "Oh... Young Master Long, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know Taishan with my eyes, I'm really sorry..."

Young Master Long waved his hand generously: "Those who don't know are not guilty... I won't argue with you, so what, quickly take out the jade pendant and let me see if it's really as good as the rumors say."

"Yes yes yes..." Ma Xiaoyao has become extremely respectful since he learned that Young Master Long is the son of Lord Hou (actually it was all pretending), so Ma Xiaoyao took out the jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Young Master Long.

"Good thing!" Young Master Long took a fancy to this jade pendant at a glance, held it in his hand and stroked it over and over again: "Okay, good! It really is the best! Not bad! Very good! I want this jade pendant! You Make an offer!"
