The Empress Dowager's Love in the City

Chapter 16 Encountering a Famous Sword (2)
"Young master is really good at joking. This store has never used such clumsy methods. Whether you buy it or not is up to you." The commoner man was not annoyed, but turned around and prepared to go upstairs.

"It seems that the store owner is also a straightforward person. I like to deal with people like you. Since this is the case, I won't ask any more questions. Boss, you can make a price!" Zheng Yu also had a bold and masculine style at this time, Bing'er, who was on the side, secretly agreed in her heart, thinking that her young lady is too good at acting.

The clothed man originally didn't want to pay attention to Zheng Yu anymore, but from the few words just now, it is not difficult to hear that this young master is testing him, so he turned around and said in a flat tone: "The name of this sword is 'Li Luo', It's a famous ancient sword, and being able to wake it up means that you are indeed worthy of owning it, so you are destined to have this sword, and I will definitely not ask for a random price." After speaking, he made a "eight" sign with his hands.

Bing'er, who was standing by the side, looked at the number and thought, "So it's only 80 taels!"

In fact, Zheng Yu's Xiaohuotong told her from the beginning that this sword is a famous ancient sword, and it is definitely a priceless good sword, so at this time Zheng Yu and Bing'er thought completely differently, she thought the store should say It was 800 million taels, so I said: "The price is reasonable. But the boss will allow me to pay the deposit first. I never thought I would meet such a treasure when I go out today. Please be flexible." pass by.

Bing'er looked puzzled, and thought to herself: "Miss, what's the matter? Why did you only pay a deposit for 80 taels today? Could it be that you suspect that the sword is fake?" Though thinking about it, she still took out a 50 tael Two silver bills passed over.

Zheng Yu was immediately embarrassed when he saw it, and hurriedly pulled Bing'er aside and asked in a low voice, "You didn't bring any money today?"

"Bring it! Miss, isn't she going to the auction house today, so I brought some more, in case Miss has something she wants and won't have the money to bid." Bing'er explained honestly.

"Then why do you only give 50 taels? Give me 50 taels?"

"What? Fifty..." Before he could say a million words, he was blocked by Zheng Yu's expertise.

"Keep down, why are you so excited, you can't just bring 50 taels!" Then he took his hand.

Binger looked surprised: "Isn't it 80 taels? Why are there so many?"

"..." Zheng Yu gave her a blank look: "Who told you that it was 80 taels, you thought you were buying broken copper and iron! You just said, is there 50 taels?"

"Could it be... 80 taels? My God! Miss, are you sure you want to buy it?" Binger was stunned.

Zheng Yu felt that if she knew that what she was thinking was 800 million taels, he would not faint directly: "Hurry up and give it to me, anyway, it's not your money, so don't worry too much for Miss." Bing'er looked very distressed. He slowly took the 50 taels of bank note and handed it over.

Seeing Binger's reluctance, Zheng Yu almost burst out laughing, but he still held back and said, "You little miser, what a big deal, don't forget that your lady is not short of this money." Then He pulled the bank note and ran to the civilian man: "I'm really sorry, I have other things to do today, so I can only pay so much deposit first, here is 50 taels, and I can make the rest of it first." , at this time tomorrow, I will order someone to send it and retrieve the sword, what do you think?"

The owner of the store still replied calmly: "Young master, you don't have to do this, you can take the sword away today."

"That can't be done, the money hasn't been paid, I won't take this sword away, sir."

"Young Master misunderstood, what I said below is 8 taels, not what Young Master thought."

"Gah? Boss, are you right, is this a treasure?" Zheng Yu couldn't believe his ears at all.

"Your words are not wrong, and the young master is not wrong. What I mean is indeed 8 taels. I have just told the young master that the sword will be returned to the original owner if it meets the young master today. What I pay attention to when doing business is Fate is not seeking profit."

"Nowadays there are very few people like you who are not greedy for profit." So Zheng Yu and Bing'er took a silver note of [-] yuan and handed it over: "Since you are so honest, boss, then I will pay [-] in cash." I bought this sword at a price of ten thousand."

"Sir, don't be like this. I've ordered this sword to be sold at 8 taels, so I won't charge an extra tael. You should take back the extra 2 taels." Hand back two 20 silver bills. (Here, let me talk about the common currency used by the four countries of this dynasty. Gold, silver, and copper coins are mainly circulated in the market. However, for the convenience of travel, the courts of various countries have formulated a system that can convert currency into silver notes, so there are many in various places. Bank note denominations are ten taels, 50 taels, 100 taels, 1000 taels, 5000 taels, 1 taels, 5 taels, 10 taels, 50 taels, and the largest denomination is [-] taels.)
"The boss is really aboveboard. I will definitely trouble the boss again next time I need it, but can you tell me, what should I call you?" Zheng Yu asked politely, this time he even changed his name to 'I'.

"I don't know if you saw the plaque on the door when the young master came in. The shop is named after my name, and I'm Yishan." After finishing speaking, he clasped his fists.

"I see. Just now I was thinking about the name of this shop but it doesn't quite match with this shop. Then don't bother Boss Yi today. I'll come to bother you another day." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the shop gracefully.

Bing'er took the sword handed over by Boss Yi and hurriedly chased it out.

What Zheng Yu didn't know was how many disasters the sword he got by chance today had saved him from disasters. Of course, this is just a later story.

"Little...", Bing'er almost forgot to change her words and said: "Master, we have been waiting for some time at Boss Yi's shop. Now the auction house should be able to catch up with the time. After we go, we still need to buy tickets." Some time, or you won’t be able to get in any later.”

"Then let's go!" Zheng Yu said hurriedly.

About two quarters of an hour later, the two came to a five-storey stilted building with the word "Dingsheng" hanging on it. This building looks really grand, and this building is also the tallest building in Fengyu City other than the imperial palace. Different floors have different purposes, some are like some large modern shopping malls, each floor has different industries, for example, the first floor is a restaurant, the second floor is a tea house, the third floor is a bank, and the fourth floor is a pharmacy. The medicinal materials are purchased from various countries at high prices, and they are all extremely precious, and the fifth floor is the place we are looking for today - the auction house.
