I traveled through ancient times to escape famine with my arch-rival, the movie star.

After entering the door, a waiter came to greet us immediately.

"Miss, what would you like to see? Gold hairpins, silver hairpins, jade bracelets and accessories, our shop has everything!"

Although Shen Ying's clothes were ordinary, they were not too bad, and the waiter's attitude was still okay.

Shen Ying was acting like a drama queen. She sighed heavily, hesitated, and said with gritted teeth, "I want to see your shopkeeper."

As he spoke, he revealed what was in his sleeves.

A glimmer of bright light caught the waiter's eyes. He was surprised and wanted to take a second look, but Shen Ying had already covered her eyes.

The waiter came to his senses and asked Shen Ying to wait in the inner hall. The shopkeeper was out at the moment, so he immediately went to find the wife of the manager.

The housekeeper came down from the stairs quickly. After seeing Shen Ying, Shen Ying carefully took out a gorgeous silk handkerchief, on which appeared a twisted wire bracelet inlaid with various gemstones.

The manager's eyebrows jumped. As soon as he saw the handkerchief, he felt it was a commodity. The handkerchief alone was worth several taels of silver. The bracelet wrapped in it was a top-notch product, definitely not an ordinary item.

"Boss, please take a look." Shen Ying thought that this was the boss, who should be a manager anyway, so she let the manager appreciate the craftsmanship of the bracelet.

This is the treasure of that jewelry store and is probably an exhibit that is not for sale. Even if the craftsmanship cannot be compared with the top luxury goods in ancient times, it can still be considered a treasure in ordinary towns.

Seeing that the woman in front of him couldn't let it go, Shen Ying began to make up stories. "We are originally from Yongcheng. Because the master knew about the drought in advance, he dismissed some of the servants and took our belongings to Jiangnan. Because I have a family to support, and my marriage is coming soon, and I am still a living contract, I did not follow the master to the south.

Before leaving, the master gave each of us maids a piece of jewelry. This is what I got. I don’t want to pawn it cheaply to a place like a pawnshop, so I came to the silver shop to take a look. If the shopkeeper likes it, I will give you a fair price. "

As he spoke, he touched the handkerchief and missed his non-existent little sister. "If I had known the drought was so severe, I would have gone with the young lady even if I didn't want a man or get married."

As he was talking, the manager already had an idea.

If this thing enters a jewelry store, the selling price will depend entirely on the store's operations.

Right now she wanted to get it at the lowest price, but this thing seemed to be the only good thing this wealthy maid had, and if she sold it at a low price, people would definitely know about it.

How to decide?

I touched the jade stones on it. There were six in total, and each one could be sold for more than ten taels.

Coupled with this craftsmanship, this rich jade color...

"Three hundred taels." The manager patted Shen Ying's hand gently. "This is the highest price I can offer. If you send it to a pawnshop and tell them it's made of silver, they might give you a dozen taels. If you don't believe me, you can go and try."

Having said that, he pushed the bracelet back to Shen Ying.

Shen Ying's psychological price was around one thousand two hundred taels. After all, she had just secretly observed that a pair of ordinary bracelets cost more than ten taels. Hers was not an ordinary item, so it would be worth at least a hundred times more, if not tens of millions of times more.

Seeing the steward push it back, she began to carefully pack it with a handkerchief and put it back in her pocket: "Forget it, forget it. It hasn't really come to this now. The young lady said that it was bought for three thousand taels, but now it's only one tenth of that. I'd better wait a little longer and find a bigger town..."

"Wait, you are too arbitrary, young lady. Three thousand taels is too high. Not to mention our silver shop, it is definitely impossible to get it anywhere else.

How about this? I will take the risk and buy your bracelet for five hundred taels. This price is definitely the highest in the city."

Five hundred taels are enough for a person to buy a two-story courtyard in the city and a few maids to serve them.

Shen Ying hesitated for a moment, seeming to be struggling.

This price still doesn't impress her?

It seems that this thing really came from a wealthy family...

The manager narrowed his eyes.

She is a foreigner. If she goes back on her word,

"The shopkeeper is back." A call immediately brought the manager back to reality.

She immediately whispered to Shen Ying, "Our shopkeeper is back. She is not as kind as I am. She might send you to the government and say that you stole it. So, six hundred taels, at most six hundred taels. If you make a deal, I will give you the banknote now. If you don't make a deal, then you just wait."

"I'll sell it, I'll sell it." Shen Ying shouted anxiously.

The volume penetrated the curtain of the inner room and spread out.

The shopkeeper who was about to go upstairs paused and looked over here.

Shen Ying lowered her head and hurriedly packed up the handkerchief and bracelet: "I didn't steal them, you shopkeeper can't lock me up! This is unfair, I sold it to you at a low price, isn't it okay? You can't treat me like this, I am a good person, "

The shopkeeper was hesitant about whether to come in, but when he heard his name, he stepped in directly. "What are you making so much noise for?"

Shen Ying was so scared that she took three steps back: "I won't sell it anymore, don't try to force me to buy it!"

The shopkeeper was confused and looked at the manager beside him: "Tell me, what's going on?"

The manager had a hard time speaking out, and in front of Shen Ying, she couldn't say she didn't say anything: "This person brought a nice piece of jewelry to sell for a high price, and she was from another place, so I suspected that she stole it, and this is what happened to her."

The shopkeeper was not fooled by the manager's whitewashing: "Then why did you mention my name? Since you suspect he's the thief, why not report him to the police?"

"I didn't steal anything, you damn shopkeeper, she told me everything. You wanted to buy my treasure at a low price and send me to the government. You have lost your conscience."

"You are talking nonsense! How dare you talk nonsense here? Someone, take her away..."

"Okay, I want to see what treasure is worth framing someone." The shopkeeper looked at Shen Ying. "Don't worry, if your things come from legitimate sources, our silver shop will definitely give you a decent and fair price. You won't lose money. If you have no guilt, bring the things over and let me take a look."

Shen Ying made a thoughtful expression, and after a while she carefully showed the thing.

After reading it, the shopkeeper said:

He then got the whole story out of Shen Ying and glanced at the woman in charge.

The manager was already sweating profusely.

"You said six hundred taels is not a lot, how about eight hundred taels? I guarantee that this price is impossible in the entire Wanzhou City. What our store manager said is right. Going to the pawnshop will only squeeze the price of your silver jewelry even more, and it is also dangerous... Pawnshops have thugs."

Shen Ying thought to herself, okay, birds of a feather flock together, you two are both trying to get this thing by first bribing and then threatening me.

He really is worthy of being the top leader in a store.

"Well, then I want gold and silver, not silver notes."

The shopkeeper smiled proudly: "Okay."

This thing, if you handle it, you can sell it for at least two or three thousand taels, and it was snatched from the housekeeper who wanted to replace me. She is also very efficient.

One tael of gold, ten taels of silver, fifty taels of gold, and three hundred taels of silver all went to Shen Ying, who asked to put them in a basket and cover them with a layer of cloth before she stood up and said goodbye. "I wish the shopkeeper's business will be prosperous."

The shopkeeper was stunned by his graceful and generous look, but he soon reacted.

My goodness, with this kind of controlling attitude, how could she not be a maid from a wealthy family, she is so scheming.

Fortunately, she really liked the goods, so she stopped making things difficult for Shen Ying.

Shen Ying left the silver shop and bought a few sesame cakes on the way and put them directly into the basket.

No one on the street suspected that there were eight hundred taels of silver in Shen Ying's basket!
