"Yes, this cup is yours."

The fat man quickly held the cup with both hands and placed it carefully on the table, but his eyes never left it.

The people around also widened their eyes and stared at the glass on the table with held breath, as if they were afraid that if they were not careful, they would grow a pair of wings and fly away in this life.

"Do you like this cup?" Jiang Sining asked.

"Xi... No, I don't dare, I don't dare!"

The fat man swallowed and used great willpower to move his eyes away from the cup.

It is absolutely impossible to say that I don’t like it.

He had seen many treasures in his life, but he had never dreamed of such a crystal cup that was so crystal clear and flawless.

But he really didn't dare.

This young man in front of me, although he is only wearing a blue cotton shirt, the skin on his hands and face is as delicate as that of a teenage girl.

What does this mean?

This means that the person is either rich or noble, and very rich and noble!

He wore an ordinary cotton blue shirt because he didn't want to be too ostentatious and reveal his identity.

But it is impossible for ordinary wealthy people to carry such a valuable cup with them, as well as the medicinal soup that does not look like medicine at all, but has better effects than any other medicine!

In addition, he spoke Mandarin, so without much thought, one could roughly guess his background, which must be related to the imperial family in the capital.

It's possible that it was a certain prince!

If he dares to get his hands on such a person's things, he will probably die without knowing how.

"Young Master, this cup is yours, so put it away quickly."

"It's okay." Jiang Sining asked again, "If you really like it, I can give it to you."

deliver?

The fat man felt a rush of blood to his head and his brain could hardly think straight.

Although this cup is not priceless, it is definitely not meant to be given away as a gift, let alone to a stranger on the street!

As a businessman, he knew that such a good thing would never happen.

Even if there is, it is unlikely to fall on his head.

Then why did he send it again?

The fat man recovered and his brain started working frantically, and he soon thought of a possibility.

Could it be that this young master... is short of some private money?

Princes or rich young men who are not yet adults will naturally have no worries about food, clothing and other daily necessities, but they may not have much private money.

But he wanted to buy some private things, so he could only take out some things in exchange for money.

Yes, that must be the case!

When the fat man thought of this, he was very impressed by his own quick brain, and he instantly thought of the key to the problem.

"Sir, how about going to the private room and sitting down?"

"No need." Jiang Sining said, "Do you want this cup? If not, I will give it to someone else."

"Yes, of course!" The fat man was more determined than ever before and said, "But I can't take such an expensive cup for nothing. Young Master, how much do you think I'll pay?"

The fat man stretched out a finger and quickly stretched out another one.

"Twenty thousand taels?" Jiang Sining asked.

Fatty:......

He did have 20,000 taels, but that was his entire fortune. He had worked hard for several years to earn this little bit of money!

These noble gentlemen really have no idea of ​​the sufferings of the world!

"Two... two hundred." The fat man was afraid that Jiang Sining would be unhappy, so he quickly said, "Three hundred."

Jiang Sining pretended to ponder.

A glass cup that cost a few dollars could be sold for three hundred taels of silver, which was beyond her expectations.

However, things are valuable because they are rare. Considering the uniqueness of glass in this world, she still needs to add insurance.

"If you take this cup and only use it for yourself, and don't give it away or sell it," Jiang Sining said, "then it's not a problem to give you three hundred taels."

Can’t transfer or sell?

The fat man's eyes rolled and he became more convinced of his guess.

Why can’t it be transferred or sold?

He must be worried that his family would find out and get scolded!

He bought this top-quality crystal cup for three hundred taels. Even if he used it himself, he was getting a great bargain!

Who cares if you wait a few years before taking action?

"I will definitely keep such a nice cup for myself. I won't sell it, let alone give it to others."

Jiang Sining didn't care whether his words were true or false, as long as it didn't cause any waves in the short term.

"Okay, I'll give it to you."

The fat man was overjoyed. He immediately took out three silver bills worth one hundred taels and placed them respectfully on the table. Then he carefully put away the cup.

The people around were all red-eyed with envy, jealousy and hatred, and their eyes almost pierced through the fat man's flesh.

The fat man also knew that he was a bit hateful, so after receiving the things, he bowed to Jiang Sining and left in a hurry. It was estimated that he didn't want to talk about business anymore and went home directly.

Jiang Sining took the banknote, slowly sat back in his seat, and began to eat the snacks on the table.

These were all bought with money, so they can’t be wasted.

After what happened just now, the merchants around spoke much more quietly, for fear of disturbing this noble lady.

There were also a few who asked their servants to respectfully deliver their business cards, trying to see if they could make friends with them.

However, Jiang Sining just left them on the table without looking at any of them, and did not take them away when he left, which greatly disappointed the businessmen.

But this made everyone more certain that the identity and status of this young master were definitely not ordinary high.

These businessmen are not qualified to talk to people.

I am very lucky to have the opportunity to take a look at the crystal glass today.

……

After leaving the teahouse and walking into an empty alley, Jiang Sining had returned to his original appearance when he came out.

With 300 taels in her hand, she was not so anxious anymore.

Si Chenan marked the price at 500 taels, but she felt that it would not be that much. If it was not enough, she would go to another teahouse tomorrow and sell him a small cup.

It's a pity that these things are too eye-catching in this era, otherwise she would have several more glass products, but it's too unreasonable to have so many of them at the same time, and it only attracts attention once or twice.

If the government refused to sell it, he would exchange the 300 taels of silver for food and daily necessities, and take his brothers and sisters to live in seclusion in the mountains for a while. Although he would become a refugee, he could think of a solution after the famine was over.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Sining walked home calmly.

As soon as they got home, Jiang Yan rushed over impatiently with Qianqian.

"Sister!" Jiang Yan asked anxiously, "What happened?"

"Well...it shouldn't be a big problem."

"That's great!" Jiang Yan was so excited that she almost jumped up. "Sister, please tell me, what solution do you have in mind?"

"Well... you will know when the time comes."

It's not that Jiang Sining is being mysterious, but this matter is indeed a little difficult to talk about. You can't just say: My elder sister is going to marry someone in order to avoid getting married?

"Qianqian," she quickly changed the subject and pinched Qianqian's little face which had turned a little bit red, "Are you hungry?"

"I'm hungry!" Qianqian said, "Sister, let's cook!"

"Okay, I'll make white rice and braised pork for you tonight!"

"Okay!"

……

As dusk fell, County Lieutenant Yan Jiuping returned to the county government office.

After spending an entire afternoon, he had led his men to investigate Jiang Sining thoroughly.

"Sir, Master Liu," Yan Jiuping said, "I have checked it out."

"How is it?" Master Liu asked, "Is it the same as what we said this morning?"

"It's actually even more miserable." Yan Jiuping said, "She was born out of wedlock to her mother Jiang Xiu, and her biological father is unknown. Jiang Xiu has never remarried since she came back from abroad, and has been living in her mother's home. Jiang Xiu passed away last year, and Jiang Sining and her three siblings have been treated harshly by the Jiang family. They were even kicked out of the house a few days ago. The three siblings live in a thatched hut on the mountain, and make a living by picking mushrooms for money."

Hearing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Master Liu's eyes.

But just to be on the safe side, he asked again, "What about her marriage?"

"It is said that her grandmother promised her to a thirty-something old bachelor from Bajiao Village for 15 taels of silver as a betrothal gift. He is also a lame man with two unmarried brothers." After saying this, he looked at County Magistrate Shen and continued, "It was Zhao Bozi who dug up the pair of giant Polygonum multiflorum a few days ago."

Speaking of Polygonum multiflorum, County Magistrate Shen remembered it.

At that time, he heard that someone had dug up a pair of large Polygonum multiflorum, so he gave 30 taels of silver to his brother-in-law and bought them back. They should have been sent to the capital by now.

"The three Zhao brothers are well-known in Gaochuan County for being reckless and not afraid of people wearing shoes even if they are barefoot." County Magistrate Shen said, "No wonder the girl doesn't want to marry."

Master Liu nodded, as long as the matter was true.

The intention of the mansion has always been to cripple or disable Si Chenan first, rather than kill him, and then sell him to a lowly family while he is still alive, so that he can continue to suffer while he is still alive.

Right now, this girl named Jiang Sining is only bullied by her family. Si Chenan is a slave, and it is unlikely that the two of them will be able to turn things around in this life. They will only continue to be bullied and exploited by the Jiang family.

"Then sell it to her." Thinking of this, Master Liu said, "But you have to make sure that the girl can marry Si Chenan after she buys him back."

County Magistrate Shen said, "Master Liu, don't worry. It's just a matter of a word."

"How much silver should I sell her for?"

"What kind of money can a wild girl have? Just give it to her directly."

"No," Yan Jiuping said, "I heard from some of the officers that the girl said her mother left her 30 taels of silver. She also said that if it's not enough, she can borrow some."

"Oh? There's this?" Master Liu blinked a few times and said, "Then it's 50 taels. If she can't borrow enough, reduce it a little bit. Anyway, the more debt she has to bear, the more difficult Si Chenan's life will be in the future."

County Magistrate Shen and Yan Jiuping looked at each other and thought that this legal advisor was worthy of being from the capital. This guy was too mean.

It was the greatest misfortune for Si Chenan to meet him.

One of his legs was broken and he was poisoned. Even if he was cured, he would still be a disabled person.

For the rest of your life, you will just suffer in cowardice.
