The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

Liu Jiang hated them very much, but he didn't dare to provoke them again.

"Shopkeeper Jiang, please come over and say a few words for me."

Shopkeeper Jiang couldn't just stand by and watch anymore, so he stopped Xiao Wu from swinging his fist at Liu Jiang again.

"Little brother, calm down. If Butler Liu really wants the necklace, let him name another price. If he doesn't want it anymore, you can just leave on your own."

Ayan held Miss Yang's sleeve tightly.

"Miss, let's go to Judge Lin's house and ask."

"it is good."

"No..."

Liu Jiang wanted to pull Miss Yang, but Xiao Wu glared at him and he quickly retracted his hand in fear.

Magistrate Chen has been traveling to Luo City recently. He is the emperor's uncle, so I'm afraid he will get what he wants soon.

So who will be the prefect of Shangyang Prefecture? Isn't it all up to Prefect Chen to decide?

His master and Lin Tongpan fought for this position and suffered a bloody battle.

In the past, the rare treasures that Prefect Chen obtained were also given to Empress Dowager Chen.

Whoever wins the favor of Empress Dowager Chen can go up.

The pearl necklaces worn by these people are rare in the world, and the Queen Mother must like them.

It’s okay that he has never seen this necklace before.

But he had already seen it. If it was finally obtained by Lin Tongpan and handed over to Chen Zhifu, his master would probably skin him alive.

Liu Jiang was now in a difficult situation.

Deep down, he still hoped to get the necklace.

If his master becomes the prefect of Shangyang Prefecture, his future glory will be even greater than before.

Liu Jiang thought about it, and said anxiously, "I wonder what price Miss Yang wants to ask?"

Miss Yang, Ayan and Xiaowu looked at each other closely and finally got together to discuss.

Liu Jiang and Shopkeeper Jiang could vaguely hear the conversation between the three people.

"Miss, we've already lost a lot on this trip. We rely on this necklace to make up for it. We can't sell it too low."

This is Ayan's voice.

"How about we go ask somewhere else? I don't think this Butler Liu is a good person."

This is Miss Yang's voice.

Shopkeeper Jiang looked at Liu Jiang's face which was swollen like a pig's head and thought to himself that the word "good" could actually be removed from Miss Yang's words.

"How about we ask that shopkeeper Jiang to come up with a price? If Mr. Liu agrees, we'll sell it right away and take the money to the master. If he doesn't agree, we'll go to the magistrate's house and ask."

The last sentence was said by Xiao Wu.

Miss Yang and Ayan had no better ideas, so they nodded.

The three looked at Manager Jiang and Liu Jiang.

Miss Yang opened the box again reluctantly and took a look, and finally made up her mind.

"Manager Jiang, how much do you think this necklace is worth?"

Shopkeeper Jiang looked at the three expectant faces opposite him, and then at Liu Jiang's sinister eyes.

What sin had he committed to get involved in such a mess?

Shopkeeper Jiang pondered for a long time, and finally said vaguely, "The raw materials plus the labor cost will have to be around 230,000 taels at least."

Liu Jiang glared at Shopkeeper Jiang fiercely, then heard the three people opposite him ask in unison, "Only worth 130,000 taels?"

Liu Jiang and Shopkeeper Jiang were stunned.

Shopkeeper Jiang wanted to correct him, but Liu Jiang quickly said loudly, "130,000 taels is not a low price."

"But, we've already spent over 110,000 taels on the cost price, plus all the hard work along the way..."

Miss Yang felt a little distressed.

"Miss, let's ask again."

Ayan wanted to help Miss Yang leave.

"Wait a moment."

Liu Jiang is really fed up with these people. They always want to leave. Can't they just sit down and have a good talk?

"Miss Yang just heard that this necklace is worth 130,000 taels. You can sell it to anyone, so why not sell it to me?"

Xiao Wu glared at him: "Can you make the decision?"

Liu Jiang choked.

His wife only let him choose the best things to buy and didn't say how much it would cost.

If this was something from Xinxiang Pavilion, he could still find a way to lower the price.

But these outsiders didn't give him any face at all, especially the young man named Xiao Wu.

hateful!

"I'll go back and discuss this with my wife. You three will wait here."

"Then how long will you make us wait? What if your wife doesn't agree? Wouldn't that be a waste of our time?"

"No, no, everyone, just wait patiently."

If his master and mistress knew about this necklace, they would be willing to pay any amount of money as long as it could pressure Lin Tongpan.

"We'll only wait for an hour at most. If you haven't come back after an hour, we'll leave."

After Xiao Wu finished speaking, he also asked Manager Jiang where the residence of Lin Tongpan was.

Liu Jiang gritted his teeth in anger: "You don't have to ask about other people's homes, I will be back soon."

Liu Jiang left after he finished speaking, and before leaving, he asked the two men and Shopkeeper Jiang to keep an eye on these people.

Shopkeeper Jiang tried several times to explain to the three people that he had just said twenty-three, not thirteen.

But the two servants of the magistrate were beside him, so he couldn't do it too obviously.

Shopkeeper Ren Jiang tried to signal with his eyes or lip language, but the three wooden men opposite him didn't understand at all.

These three idiots made Manager Jiang so angry!

At the residence of Fan Yunchuan, the co-magistrate of Shangyang Prefecture, Liu Jiang got off the carriage and ran all the way to the backyard.

The servants looked at Liu Jiang's swollen face and thought something big had happened.

Mrs. Fan stared at Liu Jiang's face, feeling annoyed.

In Shangyang Prefecture, someone actually dared to beat up their fellow prefect?

These people don't want to live anymore!

Liu Jiang cut to the chase and recounted what had happened.

Mrs. Fan no longer cared about the fact that Liu Jiang was beaten.

"All pink? No other colors?"

"Ma'am, they are all pink pearls. Each one is the same size, slightly larger than the largest soybean. They are all round and flawless."

Mrs. Fan couldn't believe it. Pink pearls are so precious.

It’s rare to get just one pearl on a normal day, but how could there be a completely pink pearl necklace?

Her voice became more urgent: "How does it compare to the pink pearl on my hairpin?"

"It's not bad at all."

Mrs. Fan was a little excited. Liu Jiang was someone she brought from her mother's home and would never lie to her.

It seems that the pearl necklace is indeed excellent.

She wanted to go and see for herself, but she was afraid that Liu Jiang's affairs in Xinxiang Pavilion had attracted attention. If she went again, she might be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

They all knew what was going on at the magistrate's wife's birthday party.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to find some good things and send them to Beijing.

Empress Dowager Chen was in poor health and loved to use pearls to nourish her body.

If there really is such a pearl necklace, his master would have a chance of promotion once Magistrate Chen leaves.

But 130,000 taels is really not a low price.

Liu Jiang calculated the time and felt a little anxious.

"Madam, that shopkeeper Jiang has a sharp eye. He said it's worth at least 230,000 taels, so the price must be higher, not lower. Luckily, those three fools misheard us, so we can get it for 130,000 taels. Besides, they're just a few outsiders. Give them the 130,000 taels first, and we can get it back later."

Liu Jiang had a fierce expression on his face. His whole body was in pain. How could he be content unless he killed the guy named Xiao Wu?

"Those two women are both weak and powerless. Even though that man has good martial arts skills, two fists can't beat four hands..."

Mrs. Fan showed a satisfied expression on her face.

"Don't let it slip. Also, don't let anyone else know about the necklace."

"Don't worry, madam."

When Liu Jiang rushed back to Xinxiang Pavilion, Xiao Wu was still pulling Manager Jiang to inquire about the situation of other wealthy families in Luocheng.

Liu Jiang's face darkened and he took out the banknotes in front of Miss Yang and others.

When Miss Yang saw the banknotes, her face showed reluctance and conflict, and finally she gritted her teeth.

"Forget it, the most important thing is to find Dad as soon as possible."

Ayan took the banknote, looked at it carefully, and found that there was no problem. Then she took out the box with a painful look on her face.

Liu Jiang snatched the box and opened it to take a look.

The closer you look at it, the better the necklace looks.

Liu Jiang thought about the next arrangements, nodded to the two servants, took the box and hurried away.
