First Empress Merchant

Chapter 221 Meeting (3)
Before Lu Lishi could answer, Xin'er interjected again: "Hey, isn't the price of seven bracelets the same as five sets of jewelry and five bracelets? Miss, why do you think the Bai family did this?"

Naturally, Lu Lishi also had this question. After thinking about it, she said to Lu Su: "Uncle Lu, is there any big movement in the Bai family this afternoon?"

Lu Su smiled and said, "I don't know if there is any major movement in the Bai family, but the shopkeeper Wan told Brother Shi the whole story after finishing the transaction, and I happened to be by the side at that time."

"Then tell us about it." Seeing his expression, Lu Lishi relaxed.

Lu Su replied: "That's what Shopkeeper Wan said. He said that although he didn't know what the young lady of the Bai family had said to her mother, when Shopkeeper Wan came to the door with the goods she wanted, then he said The lady insisted that the lady wearing a veil she met at Zhuo Shifu before was from Liyuan Villa, that is to say, the lady from the Bai family bought those jewelry because of your advice. Naturally, shopkeeper Wan He wouldn't admit it, so he dealt with them again and again, and after several rounds, shopkeeper Wan saw that the mother and daughter had been steadfast, and finally said that this business is what you like and I want, and if someone is willing to buy, he is willing to sell. They had to insist that if they were duped, then the business would not be done, but just as the shopkeeper Wan walked away with the goods, the lady didn't know what to think, so she said that she was alone. Taking a step back, she doesn't want the jewelry, she only wants the remaining seven bracelets, and at this point, shopkeeper Wan verbally accepted the order, before he had time to say, he also asked me to ask you if he would sell it or not."

After hearing these words, Lu Lishi patted the table lightly, "Of course it will be sold! Seven bracelets, even if you give her a 130% discount, it is [-] taels. The jewelry is cheap and easy to sell individually, but the bracelets are different. Since there are people I’m willing to buy it all at once, so why don’t I sell it? As for the three bracelets I ordered, Ah Zhong, please come to Zhuo Shifu tomorrow morning, and say to keep one bracelet, and the one I asked him to prepare earlier. The set of gold ornaments was dragged together to the post station and sent to the capital to the mansion of Mr. Zhang Shizhong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites. The remaining two pieces were cut by Master Wan. It was up to him to see if they should be made into rings, or carved into flowers and set on hairpins. None of us will stay."

As Uncle Lu said, the Bai family will find out her identity sooner or later. Although she is not afraid that the Bai family will come and turn over the old score, she really doesn't want to wear the same thing as the Bai family, even if it is designed by herself.

Seeing that she was still willing to pay attention to him, Ah Zhong responded straightforwardly: "Yes, I will definitely rush over tomorrow morning before Zhuo Shifu's opening, but then again, according to what Mr. How did you know that you are from Liyuan Villa?"

"Although I don't know where she got this evidence, I can assure you that it's just an excuse for her to shift the main responsibility to me, so as to avoid the punishment from her mother. Punishment, and her mother can more or less tell the truth of the matter, otherwise she would never change her mind and buy the seven bracelets, wouldn't she?" Lu Lishi shook her finger very firmly, then thought of something, and said to Wu Changqing "By the way, brother, you will go to the villa with Uncle Lu tomorrow. One of my aunts is not in good health. It seems that she can't eat raw or cold food. Please help her take a look. It would be the best if she can recuperate well."

When Wu Changqing heard that someone was in poor health, he immediately said: "Okay, I will do my best. Hey, I... I didn't hear that you have an aunt? Could it be..."

Lu Lishi nodded with a smile, "You guessed right, it's from the Bai family, but this one is different from other Bai family members. As for the name and appearance, you just ask Uncle Lu to show you. Uncle can recognize that one at a glance."

Lu Su faintly realized something, glanced at Lu Lishi, and then said with a little surprise: "That one is also in Liyuan Villa? Didn't she stay there all the time..."

Lu Lishi smiled again, "The reason why I am going out today is to go to my aunt's appointment. I will tell you the details after a while. Yes, my aunt is indeed living with the Bai family. Tomorrow When you see her, just pretend you don't know her. Oh, and tomorrow, ask Mr. Shi to disclose the news that the Zhen family is going to transfer the house to the Bai family."

She was not surprised that Uncle Lu would have such a reaction, because before today she was not sure whether she would continue to communicate with that aunt, and she didn't want to distract Uncle Lu from this matter, so she asked Aunt Lu to help temporarily conceal the fact that she had met her aunt yesterday In fact, after the conversation in the afternoon, she decided to observe for a while, and when she was [-]% sure that what her aunt said was absolutely true, she asked her aunt to meet her father.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Su could only suppress the doubts in his heart, "Okay, I know what to do."

Seeing that all the things that should be said have been said, Lu Lishi said again: "It's getting late, Uncle Lu, please go back to your room to rest, and everyone should go to rest."

When it was over, everyone dispersed one after another. Seeing Li Yi walking at the end, Lu Lishi thought of something, so she stopped him alone.

When they arrived in the study room, only she and Li Yi were left, so Lu Lishi took out ten taels of silver from the drawer and handed it to him, "Please finish what you have done, and tomorrow you can take this silver and go back to sweep it for your father." Sweep the grave, I will give you up to 20 days, and you must come back when the 20 days are up."

As soon as Li Yi heard this, he immediately put the money back into her hand, "What are you doing? I have kept all the wages for the past few months, plus the bonus money distributed by the villa, it is enough to go back and forth, without you Give me another ten taels of silver."

Lu Lishi shook her head with a smile, "The money you earn depends on whether you are happy to save it for future marriage to Rui Niang, or spend it all at once, I don't care, but for the ten taels of silver, please give it to me on my behalf." It’s not for you that General Li burns more ingot candles or something.”

"Does the ingot candle need to be as much as ten taels?" Li Yi naturally knew that what she said was just to make him accept it with peace of mind, but because of this, he couldn't accept it even more.

Lu Lishi shrugged, "If there are too many, I will trouble you to buy some gifts and send them to Old Doctor Wu. If there are more, you can use them as travel expenses to go to the counties as far away as possible to observe the weather and dealers in various places, anyway. You will give me an account of all the expenses."

Seeing that she was talking about this, Li Yiwei compromised, "So, thank you for your kindness, and I will definitely do everything you told me well."

Lu Lishi waved her hand, "Okay, let's go back to rest early, we have to get up and hurry tomorrow morning."

And just before Li Yilin left the house, Lu Lishi said again: "By the way, remember to send a message to General Li for me, saying that I am very grateful to him for giving birth to such an excellent son, and also thank him for being willing to leave his son to me. Only then can I have one more worry-free and money-saving friend who is worth cherishing for a lifetime."
