Chapter 148

Gu Yingying knew that the treasure that Jia asked others to buy was the thermos that Zhao Xun gave her.

There was disdain in her eyes, and she said to Sun Ying: "She still wants to buy treasures? Don't be an idiot!"

But I don't know how Sun Ying's neighbor's wife told Jia Shi.If you tell Jia the truth, that object cannot be bought with money.Based on what I know about Jia Shi, I probably won't believe it.

After fighting with Jia Shi a few times, she also knew that Jia Shi's woman was different from Niu Shi.

Niu's cowardice is consistent from outside to inside.

But Jia's woman, both on the surface and in her heart, is very stubborn.At any time, he will not admit defeat easily, and it can even be said that he is unwilling to admit defeat.

As long as Jia Shi decides to buy a treasure, he will try his best to get it.

Even if the price difference was made by the middleman before buying the treasure, he would not care about the little silver.But there is only one thing, if Jia Shi was tricked into buying fake treasures, then based on her understanding of that shrew, she believed that even if Jia Shi didn't fight her hard, she would beat her to death.

It depends on whether Sun Ying's neighbor's wife will trick Jia into buying it.

Gu Yingying only heard Sun Ying say:

"That's right. Don't say it's a treasure like what Jia said, my neighbor's wife has never seen it. Even I, I've only known you for a day or two, haven't I seen it?"

How can anyone know the treasures that no one has seen before, how much the treasures are worth, and where can they be bought?
Gu Yingying smiled awkwardly at Sun Ying, and said: "I don't know how to say what you said. You see, I don't have any treasures, but I have a thermos bottle. I will rent it someday." The shop sells food and earns more money, so I will buy one for you."

Sun Ying smiled softly, "Haha, no."

Although she had never seen such a treasure before, she had heard from the neighbor's lady, from Mrs. Jia, that Miss Gu's treasure was worth several hundred taels of silver.

Because he came to Fucheng from another place for medical treatment, a poor scholar exchanged one of his paintings worth several hundred taels of silver.

Sun Ying's neighbor's wife, after hearing what Jia said, immediately asked Jia:
"Do you think that whoever wants to buy the treasure that Miss Gu got can buy it? If it's so easy to get, why don't you just go and buy it, but you still come to ask me?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Jia took out a piece of silver, gave it to Sun Ying's neighbor's wife, and said, "But I've heard my uncle said that in our Jinxia Prefecture, there are not many things. You can't help me." It’s done. Please accept this little silver.”

Sun Ying's neighbor's wife is not short of money, so of course she didn't accept it.

Jia Shi did not find anyone to find out where to buy treasures, so he was not reconciled.

So I brought some silver to Fucheng by myself, went to Lanjiang Port, and asked someone to find a young man who could speak Yunguo dialect, and took her and her son to find someone to buy treasures.

It is winter and the weather is a bit cold.

Some merchants from Yun Country have already taken the items they bought in Jingyou Country back to Yun Country on merchant ships.

Under such circumstances, after Jia brought her son to the port, she could only visit several nearby shops one by one.Good to know, is there any treasure that Gu Yingying got for sale?

Before entering the first store, the man invited by Jia to be an interpreter asked her what kind of treasure she wanted?
Jia Shi had never seen any treasures before, so he didn't know exactly what the treasures were like.

However, I heard from several women in the village that when I was helping with the work of the Gu family, I saw such a treasure as Gu Yingying owned.

Jia Shi described what she heard and what the treasure was like to the man.

"It's a glass bottle in a basket, so tall, so..."

The man couldn't understand what the woman was saying at all.

But he didn't ask much, and just told the shopkeeper of the shop according to what he understood.

"..." Shopkeeper, this lady wants to buy a glass bottle, but it doesn't mean that she must buy something exquisite.But there is one thing, there must be a basket for easy carrying.

As soon as the shopkeeper heard this, he asked the waiter to bring some glass bottles out of the warehouse.All of them are packed in wooden barrels or baskets.

There is a hexagonal wooden barrel with carved patterns, which are exactly the peonies that Jia likes.

This is a good thing that Jia Shi has never seen before.Just because the packaging of this bottle is good, when I saw it, I just wanted to buy it.

She gave the man who helped translate with a wink to let him know that she wanted to buy this bottle.

The man was very understanding, and conveyed Jia's meaning to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper saw that although Mrs. Jia was wearing a fine attire, her gestures were vulgar.Once you see her, you can tell that this woman has not seen much of the world.

Just because of the joy in her eyes when she was looking at the wooden barrel just now, you can tell that she really wants to buy this glass bottle.

The shopkeeper was originally from Jinxia Prefecture, and of course he could speak the local dialect.However, considering that the woman had found an interpreter, she told the man in Yunguo dialect:

"..."

Tell this lady, the original price of the glass bottles in our shop is 120 taels of silver.And the wooden barrel used to hold the bottle has to charge another 30 taels of silver.

But considering that this lady knows the goods, she came all the way to Fucheng to buy things, so she still charged a little less money, and it was right to invite the mother and son to ride in the carriage.

The bottle is the same as the wooden barrel, and the lady only charges 130 taels of silver.

After the man heard this, he spoke to Jia Shi in the dialect of Jinxia Land.

Jia Shi didn't think that the shopkeeper charged too much money.

It was true in the first place, and I heard from folks a long time ago that the treasures given to Gu Xiaoya by that poor scholar surnamed Zhao were worth a few hundred taels of silver.

The treasure that the shopkeeper showed her was so rare that he only charged her more than 100 taels of silver.

If you don't buy it, you will lose money.

It's just that no matter how much you want to buy it, you have a lot of money, and it's hard to tell the real reason to the man who is helping to translate.After thinking about it, Jia said to the man:
"Master, why don't you help talk to the shopkeeper, just tell me that my son and I have seen the bottles in their shop and think the bottles in their shop are good. We also sincerely want to buy them. It's just that we didn't bring such bottles when we came out this time. I have many taels of silver with me, why don't we give him ten taels of silver first to buy this wooden barrel..."

After buying the wooden barrel back, it's up to her to decide what to put in it.

People saw that the wooden barrel was still exquisite, so they knew it was very valuable.Even if you don't look at what's inside, you can know that this is also a treasure.

So I wanted to buy a barrel.

But the shopkeeper refused, "..." The barrel and bottle are a set, if you want to sell it, you can sell it together.It is impossible to sell only one wooden barrel alone!
This trick was exchanged for Mr. Zhao's painting with the bottle before, and that friend from Yunguo told him after hearing what Mr. Zhao said.

Jiashi became angry when he heard it, isn't it just a wooden barrel?

I said it all, and I was willing to buy it for ten taels of silver, but the man was still reluctant to sell it to her.It's really deceiving.It doesn't matter if they don't buy it.

Angrily, Jia took his son out of the shop, and when the young master who helped translate also came out, he said to him: "Let's go to another shop to see, maybe there are..."
