The shopkeeper had already sat down, but when he heard Lin Yuan's words, he stood up apologetically, and said, "Since this master wants to ask, I will tell the truth, but there is one thing, you must not get angry after I finish speaking. "

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Just tell me, I'm sure I won't get angry."

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I just took you as swallows!"

"Swallow? What does swallow mean?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Then I will offend you. Swallows are a type of deception, and they specifically refer to bringing beautiful girls to deceive."

Lin Yuan asked: "Cheat with a beautiful girl? How do you cheat?"

The shopkeeper replied: "There are too many ways. For example, if you want to see the ring, I will show you one, and you have to look at others. Slowly, there will be a few on the ring." It was in front of you, and then you said that you don’t want it, you don’t want it, and you turn around to leave, and at this time something happened—one ring is missing!”

"We will definitely think that you took it away, so we will stop you. No one is happy to be called a thief, so you will say: 'Exclude all the clothes and search them.' We have to invite the two of you. Go inside, take off your clothes one by one and search them until you find out that there is no lost ring, and you will make us lose money, we have no choice but to lose money, and you cheated the money away like this.”

Lin Yuan asked, "What about the ring? Where did it go?"

The shopkeeper said: "If you are really liars, you will definitely do tricks, and the ring may be hidden under the thatch on the counter!"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "What a clever way." Then he asked with a smile, "Do we really look like liars?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "You don't know, our shop has not opened for three years, and we have been open for three years, so there are very few people who come here, and those who can come are either rich or expensive."

Lin Yuan pointed at his clothes, and said with a smile, "Can't this clothes mean that I'm rich?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Wealth is not only in clothes, but also in your face. I can see that your complexion is dark. It looks like a person who is often exposed to the wind and sun. You are definitely not a pampered person! So I conclude that you are not rich. People! Then I thought that you might have put on good clothes on purpose and found a female partner to cheat! We don’t want to provoke these scammers, after all, it’s easy to hide the open gun, but hard to guard against the hidden arrow. We cheated something here, so we gave some money, which is regarded as making friends."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "So that's what happened." At this moment, Shen Wanqing came out from inside with a sad face, and Lin Yuan thought to himself: "What's wrong with her? Why does she look like this?"

Lin Yuan was thinking about it, Shen Wanqing gave Lin Yuan a wink, called him aside, and said secretly: "Let's stop pretending to be pigs and eat tigers, let's run away quickly."

Lin Yuan asked in surprise, "Why?"

Shen Wanqing said: "It's too expensive, I'm afraid we can't afford it!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "What a joke, our assets are tens of millions, and we can buy this Chengxiang Pavilion. How many jewelry can't we buy?"

Shen Wanqing said: "I took a look, hairpins, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets together cost more than 30 RMB, which is equivalent to the original 3 taels of silver! What can we do with so much money? ? Why buy these useless things!"

Lin Yuan was also very surprised when he heard the 30 yuan. He also felt sorry for the money, but he had already given the score just now, so he said to Shen Wanqing: "But I have already made the shopkeeper look like a rich man. It's not going to end well now!"

Shen Wanqing said, "Which is more important, face or 30?"

Lin Yuan said: "But how can you convince Sheng Xuanhuai if you don't buy these things?"

Shen Wanqing thought for a while and said, "There is really a way - rent!"

Lin Yuan frowned, and Shen Wanqing explained: "We rent these things for a period of time, and return them when they are used up. The price should be much cheaper."

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll save my face and see if I can rent it!" Lin Yuan bit the bullet and came to the shopkeeper, and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, I want to discuss something with you."

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Please tell me."

Lin Yuan said: "Can you rent your jewelry to me for a period of time, and I will return it to you after the time is over..."

The shopkeeper's face sank when he heard this, and he said, "My lord, if you don't want to buy, you don't have to use it to amuse me! We only sell here, not rent!" guest!"

Xiao Er walked up to Lin Yuan and made a "please" gesture. Lin Yuan was thinking hard about a countermeasure, so Shen Wanqing walked up to him and whispered, "Show your identity, maybe it will work."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "That's the only way." After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he walked up to the shopkeeper and said with a smile, "Do you know who I am, the showcase?"

The shopkeeper looked at Lin Yuan carefully, and said, "I think you look familiar, are you Lin Yuan... Your Excellency?"

The voice of the shopkeeper trembled a little, Lin Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Can you rent the things to me this time?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked someone to wrap the things, handed them to Lin Yuan, and said, "Take it well, and treat it as a gift from me." Lin Yuan took it with his hand, and said with a smile, "I'll return it to you when I'm done using it." " Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing walked out, Lin Yuan suddenly said: "I thought of another question: In what name should we go to see Sheng Xuanhuai?"

Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "Isn't it enough to visit at home? Such things as visiting at home don't distinguish between eras!"

Lin Yuan said: "But what's the matter with me taking you there! In this era, no one takes a woman to visit others, not even a wife!"

Shen Wanqing asked: "Then what should we do? If we don't see Sheng Xuanhuai, wouldn't our previous efforts be in vain?" Both of them were a little embarrassed for a moment, and Lin Yuan suddenly said: "I have figured out a way! But you have to feel wronged !"

Shen Wanqing asked: "How can you wrong me?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I invited Sheng Xuanhuai to my house for dinner, and you will be the maid. He saw a maid dressed so well, so he naturally believed in my financial resources!"

Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "I don't have any objections to letting me be a maid, but your house is too dilapidated, Sheng Xuanhuai will definitely not like it!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Of course I have something to say, so don't worry." After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he asked Liu San to go to the best restaurant in the capital to order a table of the most expensive food and drink, and then invited Sheng Xuanhuai. Liu San smiled and said: " My lord, this can’t be done, no one with status can buy ready-made food and drink, they all invite their cooks to their homes, how about this, I’ll go to Tiancheng Residence and invite you the best cook there.”

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement, and Liu San smiled again: "Master Lin, should you reconsider and invite this Mr. Shan outside?"

Lin Yuan pointed to his own room and asked, "Do you also think my room is too shabby?"

Liu San smiled and said: "Of course, my lord, this Sheng Xuanhuai is one of the most wealthy people in the capital, our house is so shabby, it makes people laugh! Even our servants are also disgraced."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much, I have my own plans."
