Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 843 Qiniang Helps Liu Ya Bargain

Seeing Liu Ya accepting the gift, Qiniang pulled Liu Ya towards her with a smile and said, "Good girl, later Qiniang will decide the price for you. That girl Xiuning is quite nice, but her brother's asking for 20 taels of silver is too much. Anyway, Qiniang has to find a way for you to save some money." After speaking, she took Liu Ya out the door and went downstairs.

To be honest, Liu Ya really hates this kind of elder brother who disregards family affection and even sells his own sister for money.So Qiniang said to lower the price, and Liu Ya also particularly agreed.At worst, it's better to leave the saved money to Xiuning, than to let her two black-hearted brothers take it.

As Qiniang walked downstairs, she picked up her style.The more imposing she is, the more she can overwhelm and excel others.It is estimated that Xiuning's two elder brothers will have no chance to negotiate conditions when they meet Qiniang.

Sure enough, Liu Ya guessed right.Xiuning's two elder brothers are both dressed as countrymen, the kind of snobbish and philistine countrymen.So when she saw Qiniang, she nodded and bowed, both greeting and fawning, wishing she could serve her with a big gift, shake a fan, serve a cup of tea and so on.

Qiniang directly pulled Liu Ya to her side, and said to Xiuning's two elder brothers: "This is my niece, and today is the tenth year that she wants to buy Xiuning girl. You sold Xiuning to me earlier. It was only five taels of silver in five years, how come the price has doubled when it came to my niece? Let me tell you, it’s still the old price, one tael a year, and I’ll give you ten taels in ten years. Pay it now For the money, bring Xiuning's deed of sale, and you can go back."

Xiuning's two elder brothers couldn't help curling their lips when they heard this.But they didn't dare to offend Qiniang, so they could only nod and bow and beg.He also repeatedly said that Xiuning has grown up now, but she can do a lot of work now, but she can't sell it at this price.If Qiniang didn't give some extra money, they wouldn't sell it. It's better to let Xiuning go home with them to plant the land, so as not to be too busy during the busy farming season every year, and have to hire someone to plow the land and sow the seeds.

As soon as Xiuning heard this, she became anxious, worried that Qiniang would not be able to agree on the price, and her two brothers would really take her back.It is estimated that as soon as she returns home, she will have to be sold by her brother before she has lived there for two days.At that time, there will really be no good days.

Xiuning was afraid, so she shrank towards Liu Ya, looking anxious and worried, looking at Liu Ya, hoping that she would say a few words for her.

Liu Ya was not in a hurry to speak, but shook her head lightly at Xiu Ning, gave her a reassuring look, and signaled her to listen to Qiniang.

Xiuning was stunned for a moment, but after all, she was a girl who had been in Hongxiufang for almost five years, so she was naturally a bit clever.So she waited patiently for Qiniang to speak, and was no longer in such a hurry.

Qiniang said to Xiuning's elder brother: "According to what you said, Qiniang feels that I have lost money. After spending five taels of silver, I have to buy a little girl with food and shelter. I support her so much Da, actually didn’t do much work for me. I really didn’t expect this loss-making business at the beginning. Now that I’m a big man, you’re going to sell it for 20 taels. I don’t want the five taels of silver. But she has lived and lived here for nothing in the past five years, and I still make new clothes for her every year. You have to give me the money. I’ll ask the accountant to do the math. No matter what, it costs a lot of silver, and it is not too much for you to pay me back three taels of silver in five years?"

When Xiuning's elder brother heard this, he immediately argued: "This... Qiniang, it was agreed at the beginning that people will order you around casually, and you have to pay for food and shelter."

"That was at the beginning. Now you are all selling girls at double the price, which proves that I can support people well. Or, for the sake of keeping Xiuning so juicy, you can give me ten taels of silver." You have to know that the girls here are all cash cows after being trained. Xiuning, if you want to sell them at a high price, you have to give me some money. I can’t feed her for nothing and teach her so well , but let you take advantage of it."

When Qiniang came and went, she meant the same thing inside and out, asking for money from Xiuning's two elder brothers.

Xiuning's two older brothers were not stupid either, they knew that Qiniang meant to lower the price for Liu Ya.The two of them exchanged glances, then hid aside to discuss for a while, and finally came back and said, "Qiniang, you see, it's not for us that we want 20 taels of silver. We're thinking ten years later, Xiuning's I'm getting old, so it's hard to find a husband's family. We will lend her the 20 taels of silver, and I can get a lot of interest in ten years. When the time comes, I will give her a dowry together, so that I can find a good family. But Qiniang, you If the new owner is your niece, then we can’t forget about it. We know that Xiuning will not suffer from following the new owner, so let’s count less and give 18 taels of silver. Please the new owner treat us Xiuning better That's it."

As soon as Qiniang heard this, her face darkened, and she said: "Dare to say, Qiniang is only worth two taels of silver when I open my mouth? No, you can't agree on the price today, so don't leave. My Hongxiufang is just right. There is still a lack of turtle slaves, stay and do things for me."

When Xiuning's two elder brothers heard that Qiniang was going to keep them, their expressions turned pale.Gui Nu is a profession in a brothel, but it is not a glorious profession, it will make people laugh.After the girls in the brothel become good, they get married in a dutiful way, so it is not necessarily someone who keeps making irresponsible remarks.But if this man becomes a turtle slave, he will be stabbed in the back for the rest of his life.

And they all knew that when they arrived at Hongxiufang, this was Qiniang's territory.The two of them have no money and no power, and they still want to sell their girls, which is really disgraceful, and it's no wonder Qiniang deliberately makes things difficult.

Therefore, the two looked at each other again, gritted their teeth for the last time, and said, "Since Qiniang said something, let's sell it for 15 taels. It really can't be less, five taels of silver is enough for our family to live for two years It's cooking. Qiniang, you should hold your hand high, our family is really in trouble, otherwise how could we have sold our sister so cruelly."

Although the words were nice, Xiuning refused to believe what her two elder brothers said, let alone Qiniang, who was a fine person.However, it finally saved five taels of silver, and didn't let these two cruel and bad brothers take advantage of it.

Liu Ya stood up at this moment, and said to the two of them: "Okay, that's it. However, I bought the person, and she can only listen to me in the future. You are absolutely not allowed to come here for ten years. Looking for trouble. Even if there are any big things at home, you have to carry them on your own, don't make plans for my people, you know?"
