Demon King's Wife

Chapter 24
"Sell, of course." The blacksmith was eager to sell the sword, so he did his best to sell the sword without talking nonsense.

"How much is this sword?" Mu Ruoxin couldn't let go of the rusty sword in his hand, picked it up and never put it down again, and didn't look at other swords, just this one.

Perhaps the sword was so rusted that the blacksmith didn't even give it a scabbard, which shows how poorly it was treated.

But after following her, the treatment is different.

The blacksmith could see that Mu Ruoxin wanted to buy a sword, so he sized her up a few times. Seeing her plain attire, he guessed that she didn't have much money, so he didn't dare to ask too high a price. High price: "50 taels."

50 taels is enough for an ordinary family to eat for a year, which is not a small amount.

"50 taels..." The expression on Mu Ruoxin's face was exaggerated, and she said this amount in amazement.

The blacksmith thought that Mu Ruoxin meant that his asking price was too high, so he was afraid that she would not buy it, so he quickly lowered the price: "Then let's say 40 taels."

"40 taels..." Mu Ruoxin still had the same reaction.

"30 taels"

"30 taels."

"Forget it, ten taels. Girl, it can't be less, this is my family's treasured sword!" The blacksmith pretended to be extremely embarrassed, saying that this price was the lowest on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart.

For a rusty broken sword, it would be good if it could be sold for one tael. If it was sold for ten taels, he would make ten times the profit.

Mu Ruoxin didn't say any more, took out ten taels of silver, and handed it to the blacksmith: "Hey, this is ten taels, one hand pays the other hand delivers the goods, the money and the goods are cleared, from now on, this sword is mine , you are not allowed to take it back.”

"Of course, since the girl has bought this sword, it is yours. How can I take it back?" The blacksmith quickly took the money, counted it, and was sure it was ten taels, and immediately put it in his pocket. It seems that she is afraid that Mu Ruoxin will go back.

She is really a little girl who has never seen the world. In Nancheng, who buys a sword and doesn't go to Shenjian Villa?All the best swords in the world come from Shenjian Villa, and because of this, his swords can't be sold until they are rusted.

But this is all right, Shi Liang sold a rusty broken sword and made a profit.

The blacksmith was happy that he had made a profitable business, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, but he didn't know...

Mu Ruoxin smiled coldly, mocking the blacksmith inwardly for being as stupid as a pig.It was obviously a peerless sword, but he sold it for 5000 taels at a loss, but he actually sold it for 50 taels, and continued to lower the price for her, until he finally sold it for ten taels.

It is an insult that such a good sword falls into the hands of such people.

"Boss, please get a scabbard for this sword, and I'll ask you something by the way, do you know where Mu University's scholar's residence is?" Mu Ruoxin asked.

The blacksmith was in a good mood because he had done a profitable business, so he was happy to answer Mu Ruoxin's question. While helping her find a suitable scabbard, he said, "Go straight along this street, then turn left and you will be there."

"Oh, thanks!"

"Girl, you're welcome. By the way, I think the girl is a bit unfamiliar. She shouldn't be from Nancheng, right?"

"I'm from Nancheng, but I didn't grow up in my hometown."

"Oh, that's how it is. Girl, this is your scabbard. I gave it to the girl for free." The blacksmith generously gave the scabbard to Mu Ruoxin, but it was actually the original scabbard of the rusty sword. The sword was worthless, so he didn't match the sword with a scabbard. Today, it sold for a good price, and the scabbard would not be a loss if it was given away.

"It's a nice scabbard, boss, thank you!" Mu Ruoxin put the sword into the scabbard, then turned and walked forward, still mocking the blacksmith's blindness in his heart.

Anyway, the sword was hers now.
