delicious farm girl

Chapter 331 The Xu family spends money like water

"No, they are too stupid." Li Er answered her seriously.

Su Ran curled her lips, and immediately turned her head away.

They followed Luo Kun into the restaurant, and as expected, Fu Rong followed.The same thing is what they order, Furong grabs whatever they order, and they still start to raise the price with them-of course, the price increase started from Su Ran.In the end, a pot of green plum wine was actually called out for 20 taels of silver, and a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake was also 30 taels of silver.There were also various other dishes, and soon everyone on the street knew that Fu Rong, the maid beside Mrs. Xu, spent 200 taels of silver to buy a table that was originally worth less than five taels of silver!

Next, we went to the pastry shop.What's more, the last pack of just-baked Furong Cake was snatched by Furong at a price of 50 taels!

Then, there are fruit shops, dried fruit shops, sugar man shops... Walking all the way down this street, the Xu family competed with Su Ran and the others to throw money, and they have already thrown out more than 1000 taels!

Finally, standing in front of a shop selling clay sculptures of little rabbit and tiger dolls, Luo Kun couldn't help but volunteered: "It's me this time! I'll do it!"

Then he asked the boss loudly: "How much do you add up to these things on your shelf?"

"Add it up? Are you going to buy all the sugar figurines in my shop?" The boss looked surprised.

Before Luo Kun answered, someone beside him had already said loudly. "Hurry up and quote a price! Don't think too much, just hug one. Anyway, some nobles will come and snatch it from them. Your shop can sell for 100 taels at least!"

As soon as his words fell, the others burst into laughter.

These people started from the cloth shop just now, and followed them all the way one by one.They have watched a lot of excitement along the way, and later, every time Su Ran and the others bid with Furong, these people still quietly applauded.Until now, they have been blatant.

When Furong heard this, she gritted her teeth immediately, and glared at Su Ran and the others bitterly.

She hated it to death!She hated Su Ran and the others for being so shameless. If ordinary people were robbed of something they wanted to buy, and the price was raised so much in public, they should have felt ashamed long ago, and obediently put their tails between their legs and rolled away. Go back to your own den and curl up shivering.But they didn't, they insisted on arguing with them, and they were obviously addicted to arguing!

Even, how did she feel...as the shops went down one by one, things gradually deviated from their original intentions, as if the people who were shamed were not these bumpkins, but...they?
Sensing the malicious eyes around her, she couldn't help but hate Mrs. Xu's mother and daughter in the carriage behind her. Obviously, they only need to suppress Su Ran and the others twice at most to achieve the deterrent effect. Turned around and left gracefully.However, Mrs. Xu and Xu Chun's mother and daughter were both stimulated by Su Ran's chic figure, and insisted on teaching them a lesson.So, they forced her to follow along all the way, and throw money like this all the way, so that she almost felt that the current self must be a fool with a lot of money among others!
Of course, the owner of the sugar shop also heard about what happened just now.Now that it was his turn, he couldn't help feeling excited.He quickly estimated the prices of the dozen or so sugar figurines on his shelf, and swallowed. "Thirty Wen."

"Okay, we want it!" Luo Kun yelled immediately, and turned his head to Fu Rong with a provocative smile, "Sister Fu Rong, tell me how much you pay!"

"30 taels! 30 taels!" Before Fu Rong could speak, the people around were already shouting.

Fu Rong's face turned pale, and she couldn't speak when she got to her lips.

Luo Kun tilted his head: "Sister Furong, talk! Do you still want this sugar figurine? If you don't want it, we'll buy it now!"

"Yes, of course!" Fu Rong didn't speak, and a loud voice came from the car inside, "We want a tael of silver!"

"No! No amount of money!" However, before the words fell completely, a distraught voice came from outside the crowd.

Then, the crowd retreated to both sides, and a man with an angry face strode over.

When Fu Rong saw it, she quickly bowed her head and saluted. "Master Seven."

"So you still see me as the Seventh Lord? I'm so daring to treat you as a servant, and I've started to treat myself as the master of the Xu family!" The man yelled unceremoniously.But he didn't know whether he was scolding the maid in front of him, or Mrs. Xu's mother and daughter in the carriage.

Fu Rong quickly knelt down.

The aura on the man was even heavier. "Do you think it's not enough to be ashamed now? Hurry up and go back to my residence!"

While speaking, his men had already brought the horse over.The man got on his horse, his sharp eyes still fixed on Fu Rong.

"Hurry up and get in the car, do you still want to stay here to shame yourself? Hurry up, I'll take you back!" He shouted angrily.

"Yes, this servant knows!" Fu Rong quickly got up and climbed onto the shaft of the carriage, the driver was also frightened out of his wits by the appearance of the Seventh Master.Master Qi shouted: "Aren't you leaving?" He immediately whipped the whip, and urged the horse to spread its legs and gallop forward.

As soon as the carriage slipped away, it rushed far away, leaving Su Ran and the group of onlookers far behind, and the seventh master's expression softened a little.

He turned his head, still sweeping at Su Ran and Li Er and his wife with strong eyes of anger. "The surname is Su, I remember."

After leaving this sentence, he swung his whip and left.

"Hey!"

This group of people left just like that, Luo Kun heaved a long sigh of disappointment. "Why did you just leave? Anyway, let's make a price first, buy this bunch of sugar figurines before leaving! I haven't even started playing yet!"

"It's time for them to leave now, otherwise it would be bad if they continue to make trouble." Su Ran said softly.

She took out a few copper coins and gave them to the owner of the sugar figurine shop, picked up some cute and delicate animal-shaped sugar figurines, and then handed a little monkey sugar figurine to Luo Kun.

"Is this for me?" Luo Kun was taken aback.

Su Ran nodded.

"Thank you, sister Ran!" Luo Kun immediately took it over happily, and played with the sugar figurine in his hand for a while, before he whispered to Su Ran, "But sister Ran, you should be careful next time. Now they slowly The people at home must have seen that you were playing with them just now. But now it is the time of Qiu Wei, and it is inconvenient for them to get angry. But after Qiu Wei releases the rankings, they will definitely get even worse and seek revenge from you. Be prepared, it's best to tell the old lady about this clearly!"

"Why did they wait until Qiu Wei released the list?" Su Ran asked.

"One of course is because it is an important time for Qiu Wei, and the people in the government are all focused on the scholars who came to take the exam, and they don't want to meddle in those outside affairs, and the big guys consciously don't go looking for trouble. Second, They are waiting." Luo Kun smiled slightly.

"What are you waiting for?" Su Ran asked again.

"Of course it's when their identities go up to the next level!" Luo Kun said in a low voice, "Sister Ran, why do you think Mrs. Xu and the Qin family are so arrogant now? It's because they have confidence! The eighth son of the Qin family is a well-known child prodigy in the provincial capital. He started to learn calligraphy at the age of one, and could export poetry at the age of five. He was selected as a scholar at the age of 12, and he was No. 1 in both the child examination and the government examination. But in the middle of these years, he has not participated in Qiu Wei, because the Qin family has been waiting for him to accumulate enough capital, so blockbuster! This time, his husband said that as long as he shows his usual skills, he will enter the top three Absolutely no problem! He's only 20 years old this year! When the time comes, will you say that the status of the Qin family will rise after that?"

"Indeed." Su Ran nodded.

The eighth son of the Qin family, Su Ran also heard a few words from Brother Quan and the others, this one is indeed quite famous in the provincial capital.Moreover, because he is so knowledgeable, these children who are about his age in the provincial capital can't compare, so he has never attended a gathering of scholars, let alone discussed poetry with them.He has always competed with several famous teachers specially invited by the elders in his family.According to Brother Quan, those who have been in contact with Master Qin Ba also believe that there is no doubt that he will enter the top three this year.

And as long as they enter the top three, the Qin family will indeed be famous, at least their status in the provincial capital will be greatly improved.If he goes to the capital to take part in the examination next year and his name is listed again, the Qin family will be even more troubled.

It's no wonder Mrs. Xu can still sit firmly in the Xu family.It's no wonder that Xu Chun still has such a good relationship with her brothers and sisters of the Qin family.

However, after returning home, Su Ran did not tell Mrs. Luo about it.On the other hand, Mr. Yuan and the others came back from the exam. When they saw the sugar figurine Su Ran handed over, Mr. Yuan also cheekily grabbed one to play with for a while, then took a big bite and started to chew.

While chewing on the candy man, he asked seemingly unintentionally: "After we came out of the examination room, we heard that a big event happened in the city today. Almost 2000 taels of silver, but bought a bunch of trash to go back!"

As he spoke, he laughed out loud. "I've heard that Mrs. Xu is very naive before, but today I know that she is so naive! Hahaha, it's really fun! Tell me, who is so talented and can fool her Doing this kind of thing in public? It will definitely be a big joke in the provincial capital in the future! I really want to know the person who did this!"

"It's us." Li Er said quietly.
