The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 67 Losing Money
Mo Qingcang took a while to find his tongue and asked in disbelief, "You call me a bumpkin? Do you know where I come from?"

Mu Jinxi gave him a sideways look with contempt, and said, "No matter where you come from, it can't change the fact that you are a bumpkin!"

Dare to say that it is not fashionable in front of a modern person like her?Dump him more than a hundred blocks!

"You, you, why do you call me a country bumpkin! You are a country girl, right? Look at you, how dare you call me that?" Mo Qingcang was inexplicably unconvinced, strangely speaking to the village girl in front of him. justified.

If he had turned around and left without taking it seriously before, but now he just felt unconvinced and felt that he was looked down upon by the village girl in front of him.

While Mo Qingcang was not convinced, he also felt puzzled, not knowing what he was doing.

"You're not convinced, are you? Then tell me what kind of tree it is, what kind of fruit is it? What's the use, and how do you want to eat it?" Mu Jinxi asked a series of questions.

Hearing this, Mo Qingcang raised his head and looked at the fruit tree above him, but he really couldn't see anything from this look, as if he had never seen it before.

"Don't you know?"

"Didn't I just say that? This is a bayberry tree. Its fruit is bayberry, a kind of fruit, and this fruit can also be used to make wine, called bayberry wine. The other is peach, which is also a fruit, you know ? Even a village girl like me knows, but you don’t know, and still don’t admit that you are a bumpkin?”

Mo Qingcang frowned: "Peach? Is this a peach? Can it be eaten?"

Mu Jinxi was startled, "You know?"

No way, she asked in Peach Blossom Town, it seems that no one has eaten peaches, although she doesn't understand why no one eats them here, in the time and space where she used to be, people planted peaches on a large scale a long time ago, That naturally also knows the value of peaches.

But it's different here, she asked tentatively, no one eats peaches, let alone breed, so she thinks this is a business opportunity.Is it not?
Mo Qingcang gave her a strange look, and said, "Of course I know, but are you sure it's edible?"

Mu Jinxi rolled her eyes at him, "Of course I can eat it."

Then he remembered something important, and urged, "Don't change the subject, lose money quickly."

After losing so many flowers and so many fruits, how much money would she have to lose!It hurts to think about it.

Mo Qingcang twitched the corners of his mouth and decided not to argue with her as a little girl. It would be demeaning, so he asked, "How much do you want me to pay?"

Mu Jinxi lowered her head and thought for a while and said generously: "I don't cheat you either, just pay ten taels of silver."

Mo Qingcang staggered.

Ten taels of silver, and you still behaved generously, so forget it?Does she know how many things ten taels of silver can buy?Do you know what number ten taels of silver is?
Yes, to him, ten taels of silver is not enough to make him take it seriously, but to ordinary people, ten taels of silver is quite a large amount, right?Did she want to take advantage of him and treat him as a fool?
"You are a lion with a big mouth!"

Mu Jinxi looked at Mo Qingcang in surprise and said, "Will you? I originally wanted you to pay 30 taels of silver! I lost 20 taels of silver for the sake of our acquaintance. Satisfied? Could it be that you don't even have ten taels of silver?"

Mu Jinxi's look of contempt for you being poorer than me made Mo Qingcang completely at a loss as to how to answer the conversation.

The two stared at each other, Mo Qingcang compromised after a while, and just made a request, "Okay, I can not only pay you ten taels of silver, but also give you another ten taels of silver, but you want me to stay overnight." .”

Mu Jinxi frowned, and refused without even thinking about it: "It's not okay to stay overnight. Although there are other people in my family, men and women cannot get along with each other. If you stay overnight at my house, people will gossip."

What a joke, if she agrees, won't she expose Xiaobao?Although she doesn't really remember what that so-and-so looked like, but Xiaobao doesn't look like her very much, and if he doesn't look like her, he is naturally like his unfavorable father.This person was probably ordered to investigate the news, and she couldn't let him see Xiaobao.

But Mo Qingcang had already thought of the reason. "You can say that I am a distant relative of your family, so that will be justified."

"Do you think you are like a distant relative of our family? Besides, my father doesn't have any other brothers, neither does my mother. Where did you come from a distant relative like this?" Mu Jinxi said calmly.

"If you want to stay here for a while, you can go to the nearest Peach Blossom Town, where there are many inns, with a good environment, good service, and special people who cook for you, prepare everything, suitable for people like you, go quickly !"

After Mu Jinxi finished speaking, she looked regretfully at the fallen flowers and small fruits all over the ground, and then looked up at the trees on the tree, feeling a little comforted in her heart.

Fortunately, there are still, otherwise her bet will be lost, and her hundreds of taels of silver will be in vain.

I originally went up the mountain with a good mood, but I encountered such a thing in the end, what a disappointment!But it's not a loss if you earn ten taels of silver.Take the money and leave!
"Hey, quickly pay me the money, I have to go home, otherwise my parents will be worried." Mu Jinxi stretched out her hand to ask for the money confidently.

The first time she asked someone for money, Mu Jinxi felt extremely awkward and unaccustomed to it, she sighed silently in her heart, and hypnotized herself that she was no longer that wealthy president, but a poor village girl. There are old and young, she must get used to a series of impacts brought about by this identity change.

A cunning light flashed in Mo Qingcang's eyes, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't bring any money today. Let's do it another day!"

This time it was Mu Jinxi's turn to get angry, she gave him a hard look and turned around to leave without dwelling on the matter.

"Hey, where are you going?" Mo Qingcang hurriedly called her to stop.

Mu Jinxi said without turning her head: "Just owe the money first, I'm going home, please do what you want."

Mo Qingcang was a little surprised, he thought she would fight him to the death, and insisted on getting the ten taels of silver.He wanted to follow up very much. He didn't know why he felt that he should follow up, but he had other things to do on his body. Today's matter was due to his carelessness, and he almost caught someone else's way.

Looking at the gradually walking away figure, Mo Qingcang let out a sigh of relief.Forget it, if there is a fate, we will meet again, if there is no fate, we will not meet each other.

When Mu Jinxi went down the mountain and passed the Xiushui River, she saw a large group of people gathered around the river, she frowned, and suddenly felt uneasy in her heart, she turned around and walked over.
