Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 243 Finding Faults and Conflicts
I still went to the shop where I bought quilts for Bai Yunshi before, picked out two good-quality satin quilts, and bought some face towels, handkerchiefs, wash basins, and other daily necessities, which took the two sisters half an afternoon.

After everything was purchased, Bai Shao suddenly remembered that it might be a letter written by Gu Xiaojun, and went to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone shop to buy a pair of medium-sized pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are different from other daily necessities, and the price difference is relatively large.

Bad ink can be bought for only a few dozen pennies, but the writing is not smooth and there are dross in it.

Good ink is astonishingly expensive, ranging from dozens of taels to hundreds of taels of silver.

There are more expensive ones, made by famous masters, and it is said that they can sell for several thousand taels of silver.

Bai Shao can't afford those few thousand taels, but it's no problem to buy dozens of taels.

And because it was going to be given to General Gu, who had been kind to Bai Yun for his promotion, Bai Shao picked them very carefully, almost picked them up and played with them one by one, to distinguish the good from the bad.

In the end, the ink seller got a little impatient.

Bai Shao was just now holding a heavy ink, and just wanted to open his mouth to say that he wanted this piece, but when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he found a person standing at the door, whose head and face seemed to be facing their sisters, after he noticed Bai Shao's peripheral vision , disappeared in a flash.

Bai Shao's first reaction was that there might be a clerk in the shop receiving the guests, but after thinking about it, if it was really a clerk in the shop, how could she disappear as soon as she turned her head slightly.

There must be something tricky in this.

After making this judgment, she began to turn her head to look intentionally or unintentionally, and found that the figure was really the person who watched her—as long as she went to look at things seriously, the figure would appear, as long as she turned her head and found out sign, the figure disappeared immediately.

Who will watch her?

Bai Shao was a little puzzled, but also a little uneasy, so she wanted to pay the money quickly and buy this set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

As a result, just as she took out the money from her sleeve pocket and hadn't had time to pay the clerk in the shop, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind, and they seemed to be walking straight in the direction of the two sisters.

Bai Shao was a little uneasy in her heart, and subconsciously turned her head to look, only to see a woman wearing a blue half-arm skirt and a jacket of the same color that was sheer with tulle, her brows were cold and a bit haughty, facing her. The cashier came over.

It's the kind of walking straight, without the slightest cover-up, directly revealing the purpose - I'm here to find you!

Bai Shao pursed the corners of her mouth, suppressed the surprised look in her eyes, stood calmly on the spot, watched the woman stop in front of her, and watched her open her mouth, and made a very cold but very haughty voice, " Are you the Bai family who lives in the Gu residence?"

It seems that it has something to do with living in Gu's residence, Bai Shao said silently in his heart.

"Yes, so what." Bai Wei replied loudly from the side.

"Hmph, you untouchables, what qualifications do you have to live in the Gu Mansion?" The woman in Tsing Yi raised her head proudly, "You are not from Yanjing just by your accent. It is said that you are from Anyang County? One of the few barren counties, you will know that it is not comparable to the people of Yanjing."

"You..." Bai Wei couldn't hear others scolding her family the most, and immediately her eyes widened and she was about to quarrel with the woman in Tsing Yi.

Bai Shao gently tugged at the corner of her clothes, stopped her from talking, and replied calmly, "Miss, don't worry, it's General Gu's intention to let us live in Gu's mansion, if the girl's surname is not Gu , don’t worry about it.”

The implication is that if you don't take care of your family, don't make a fuss about the mouse - mind your own business.

The woman in Tsing Yi is smart, after hearing Bai Shao's implication, her face suddenly became embarrassed, "It is true that my surname is not Gu, but neither is your surname, so what qualifications do you have to live in the Gu Mansion? The Gu Mansion has been vacant for ten years Oh, is General Gu out of his mind? Even letting a muddy leg like you live in it, you won't be afraid of getting dirty."

What she said, Bai Wei was still very angry, but she had learned to control herself, even though her eyes were already burning, she still stood calmly and looked at her sister.

"If you don't want to make it dirty, it's good that General Gu knows it, so you don't need to worry about it." Bai Shao calmly smiled at her, not wanting to pay any more attention to this strange woman who appeared suddenly, turned her head and handed the money to her. Looking at the guy who had been stunned for a long time, he whispered, "Wrap it up for me."

"Wait!" At this moment, the woman waved her hand and stopped the buddy Bao Mo from moving.

Immediately afterwards, the maid behind her threw out a piece of gold very neatly, landed in front of the clerk, and said arrogantly, "Our lady wants this piece of ink, and this piece of gold is enough to buy this piece of ink." Yet?"

In Dayan's exchange regulations, one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver.

In this way, such a piece of eight taels of gold is actually equivalent to 80 taels of silver.

This just doubled the price of the silver that Bai Shao gave, how could the guy disagree, and immediately stuffed Bai Shao's 40 taels of silver back to her, and then smiled courteously at the woman in Tsing Yi, "Little one, that's it!" Wrap it up for the miss, and wrap it up for the miss."

The woman in Tsing Yi glanced lightly at Bai Shao, then raised the corners of her mouth proudly.

Bai Weiqi clenched his hands into fists, and even his body trembled.

Bai Shao didn't care, picked up another piece of ink, and said loudly, "Wrap this up."

The guy gave her a surprised look. He thought that she would leave in anger when he treated her like that just now, so he chose another one.

No one is afraid of money being hot, so after the buddy wrapped the one just now, he happily wanted to wrap the ink stick that Lai Baishao chose.

As a result, at this moment, the maid just threw another piece of gold over, and said arrogantly, "Our young lady wants this piece too."

The guy was startled, and trembled all over, but unlike Bai Wei's anger, he was excited, "Okay, okay, the little one will wrap it up for the young lady."

As he said that, he ignored Bai Shao at all, turned his head and wrapped up that piece of ink again.

Once, twice.

This is already blatant bullying, no matter how hard Bai Wei tries to tell herself to endure and change her violent temper, she can't take it anymore, she shouts loudly, and is about to take a step forward to quarrel with the woman in Tsing Yi stand up.

But at this moment, Bai Shao still picked up a piece of ink as if nothing had happened, and shouted to the guy, "Then wrap this up."

The man was completely stunned, and looked at Bai Shao with a hint of caution.

This is the first time he has seen such a forbearing lady.

"Wrap it up." Seeing that he was in a daze, Bai Shao raised her hand and threw the ink stick into his hand, "Hurry up and pack it up."

"Hey, hey, good, good." The man pursed his lips, not daring to show any slights to Bai Shao, and quickly picked up the ink stick to wrap it up.

But at this moment, the maid said again, "Our lady wants this too."

The buddy was completely frozen in place, not knowing what to do.

It was Bai Shao who kindly reminded him a few words before he froze and slowly wrapped the third piece of ink.

"Why, is it still necessary?" The woman in Tsing Yi looked at Bai Shao arrogantly, and said condescendingly.

"Buy, why not buy." Bai Shao spread her hands, and picked up another piece as if nothing had happened.

As a result, it was naturally bought by that maid again.

Bai Shao was not discouraged, so she picked up another piece.

After wrapping up ten pieces of ink like this, the complexion of the woman in Tsing Yi finally changed a bit, and the man packed it until he was numb, and there was no expression on his face.

"Well, this is No. 11..." Bai Shao held the ink stick and smiled, turned to look at the guy, but didn't say wrap it up, but said with a smile, "Buddy, I've already sold ten of them for you." An ink stick, this one, can you give it to me?"

"Ah..." The man was taken aback, looked at the eight pieces of gold in his hand, and subconsciously nodded.

Bai Shao happily put away the ink sticks and didn't ask the guy to pack them. After leaving the money for other pens and papers, she turned her head and left the shop.

At this time, the woman in Tsing Yi realized that she was being played with, and immediately rushed towards Bai Shao in a fury.

"Hey, hello, you untouchable." The woman in Tsing Yi said angrily, "How dare you lie to me?"

"I don't know why I lied to the girl?" Bai Shao raised her eyebrows and asked with a light smile.

She has been buying ink sticks all the time, and it was the woman in Tsing Yi who insisted on forcibly buying the ink sticks she chose at double the price. In the end, because the shop made too much money, Bai Shao took the initiative to ask the clerk for a piece of ink, and the clerk also refused. agreed.

That's it.

Did something deceive the girl?

The woman in Tsing Yi was speechless when asked, and after a moment of stupefaction, she raised her brows and said, "You... Damn it! Come, someone, catch these two untouchables for me!"
