After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

Qi Lian interrupted him and said, "Just tell me a price."

The old man's eyes sparkled, "Haha, young guest is straightforward, I don't want much, just give fifty taels."

Qi Lian immediately put the thing in his hand back and pretended to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey, young sir, don't be impatient."

It was rare for a fat sheep to come to the door, and the old man didn't want to miss it. He quickly stood up and called him, "If you think it's not suitable, you can give a price you think is suitable."

Bai Youyou wanted to see how much Qi Lian would offer, and he stretched out five chubby fingers, "Five hundred coins."

Bai Youyou was stunned.

This is really an exorbitant price, but you have to pay it back on the spot.

One tael of silver was worth one thousand wen, and the other party offered fifty taels, but this guy actually gave half a tael of silver.

This price is so low! For someone who can't bring himself to bargain when buying things, it is truly a role model for us!

When the old man heard the price, his face darkened. "You kid, this is something from the previous dynasty, and you asked for five hundred coins. I think you are not here to buy it sincerely, but to make trouble, right?"

"Of course I bought it with sincerity."

Qi Lian did not feel guilty at all. Instead, he stretched his sleeves calmly and said, "But don't think that I am young and try to deceive me. I know how much this thing is worth."

The old man raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Seeing that he was not very old, he was not as easy to deceive as those rich young masters in the past.

He lazily sat back in his chair, crossed his legs, and raised his chin towards the brush washer. "These two items are five taels of silver. Take them if you want them."

"Six hundred coins. If you want to sell it, I'll take it."

Bai Youyou was simply full of admiration for Qilian. If she were to bargain, she would probably only get one or two taels at most, and she would still feel guilty.

The old man's beard stood up in anger, "You little sir, how can you bargain like that?"

"Just 600 coins. If you don't sell it to me, I'll leave."

"Go away, go away. How can you sell it for 600 coins? You, young master, really don't leave me any chance to survive. I have an 80-year-old mother and grandchildren who are crying for food. They all depend on me."

The old man's eyes were red and he raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes.

Qi Lian looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally raised the price, "I'll give you one tael of silver, but you give me this as well."

He took the brush washer and inkstone, and also picked up an inconspicuous snuff bottle from the corner.

When the old man saw him taking the snuff bottle, he raised his eyebrows, but this time he didn't act pitiful, and instead smiled at the corners of his lips.

"You, young master, may be young, but you have a lot of ideas. You have been talking to me for a long time, just for this copper-based painted snuff bottle, right?"

Having his thoughts exposed, Qi Lian smiled even more brightly, "You are putting a bait here to lure people in."

Bai Youyou listened to the confrontation between the two and then suddenly realized.

One puts a bait here to fish, hoping those who are willing to take the bait will do so; the other sees the bait but deliberately makes a feint to the east and attacks in the west.

Her little cousin is truly a natural businessman.

The old man laughed, "You may be young, but your eyes are very sharp."

"If you were to join a southern opera troupe, you would definitely be a famous actor."

Qi Lian gave him a thumbs up, casually threw the brush washer and broken inkstone he had picked out to Qi Shan, and opened his purse to pay six hundred coins.

Bai Youyou followed him forward and suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind her.

"Old Zhao, how's business lately?"

Bai Youyou grabbed Qilian, walked back, stood in front of the stall next to the old man, and motioned Qilian to pick something.

Qi Lian glanced at the old man's position, then looked up at Bai Youyou and obediently picked things from the stall.

"You kid, I heard the biggest fish has been caught?"

There was a lot of noise all around, so Bai Youyou pricked up her ears and concentrated fully before she could barely hear this sentence.

What big fish?

What's the hook?

The man whispered something into the old man's ear, and the old man looked disapproving.

"Since you want to do it, I will not stop you from making a fortune, but I am old now and just want to live a stable life for the rest of my life."

The man called Brother Li by Bai Muchen laughed at Old Zhao for a few words and then left in a swagger.

Bai Youyou remembered this man, especially the fly-sized mole on his nose which was particularly eye-catching.

But today, the mole on his nose is gone and his complexion is paler.

Bai Youyou quickly turned her head when the man turned his gaze.

Thinking of the four treasures of the study that Bai Muchen bought at a high price, she raised her eyebrows.

Her good third brother was set up and treated as a money-giving boy.

Bai Youyou tugged at Qi Lian's sleeve and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look ahead."

Qi Lian didn't ask anything and continued walking forward with her.

"You don't have anything to ask?"

Bai Youyou was a little surprised that he was so calm.

Curiosity is human nature. He is only thirteen years old, but he is so mature.

Qi Lian grinned, "If you want me to know, you will tell me even if I don't ask. But if you don't want me to know, even if I ask, you will bother to make up a reason to perfunctorily answer me. Why bother?"

Bai Youyou paused for a moment when she heard this.

Some people may never understand this kind of open-minded and clear-minded nature in their entire lives.

"When you've been away for three days, you should look at him with new eyes. What my cousin said today has opened my eyes."

Qi Lian raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Then how is Xiao Si going to thank me?"

Bai Youyou raised her hand and tapped him on the forehead, "You little brat, you have no respect for your elders. Call me cousin."

"You wish, little four, little four, little four..."

Qi Lian laughed loudly and shouted many times over, shouting as he retreated.

Along the way, Bai Youyou saw many exquisitely crafted headbands and some handmade items, but she was short of money.

"Which one do you like?" Qi Lian stopped the peddler and looked sideways at Bai Youyou. "I'm being generous today and I'll give it to you."

Xiaoju and Qishan both looked at him in surprise that he could spend money as a gift.

Isn't it rare for a miser to have his feathers plucked?

Bai Youyou remembered that when this guy was five years old, he asked his cousin to make him a wooden box. He didn't spend a penny and saved all his money in the wooden box.

Every time I go out, I always rub against the original owner.

She didn't hesitate and picked up two pairs of small and exquisite pearl flowers from the peddler's load.

Qilian happily paid the copper coins.

Xiaoju was so happy when she received the pearl flower from Bai Youyou that she couldn't stop smiling, "Thank you, cousin."

"It's just a small pearl flower, it's nothing." Qi Lian held his head high and said proudly, "When I grow up and earn money, I will buy you better ones."

Bai Youyou looked at him teasingly, "Aren't you known as the mythical beast Pixiu? Why are you so generous today?"

"For someone like you who lives paycheck to paycheck, how can you understand my planning for a rainy day? If I don't save money in advance, where will I get the capital to start my business in the future?"
