Traveling through ancient times, the princess of the special forces became the group's favorite

When the bird seller heard that someone offered twenty taels of silver, his face was filled with excitement.

However, his expression quickly returned to normal.

Twenty taels of silver is still too little.

This is the parrot he had collected with great difficulty!

"Is there anyone who offers a higher price?" he asked loudly.

At this time, a man came out from the crowd.

"Your parrot can only speak a few words, right? What if we buy it back and it can't learn anything else? Wouldn't that mean we've wasted all our money?"

Everyone around nodded.

"Yes, that's it. You didn't train it for years to get it to say these three or five sentences, did you?"

After hearing this, the bird seller immediately objected fiercely.

"No! This parrot is very smart! If you teach it three or five times, it will definitely learn it."

"Teach it three or five times and it can learn human language? Doesn't that mean it's a divine bird?! Demonstrate it now and let everyone see if what you say is true."

"What do you want it to say?" asked the bird seller.

"Then you can teach it to say that this young man is handsome, elegant, suave, loved by everyone, and flowers bloom when he sees them." The man said with a smile.

The bird seller immediately took out a handful of grain from his bag and handed it to the parrot.

"Dun Dun, you said this young man is handsome, elegant, suave, and charming. He is loved by everyone and makes flowers bloom wherever he goes. Now that you have said that, the food will be given to you."

The parrot glanced at the man with an arrogant look, shook its feathers, and looked at him with a hint of disdain: "This young man is ugly and clumsy, with a pointed face and monkey cheeks, listless and listless. He is hated by everyone and makes flowers wither when they see him."

"Dun Dun, you are so rude!" the bird seller cursed in frustration.

Everyone around burst into laughter.

Shen Li couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

Mu Xiaoxiao excitedly tugged at Shen Li's sleeve and said, "This bird is indeed a spirit bird. It can actually speak so many words. I'm afraid even many ordinary people can't say such words! This bird is a treasure. We must buy it!"

Shen Li nodded: "Okay."

At this moment, the man was blushing with shame.

He raised his fist: "You stinky bird, you dare to scold me? I will smash you to death!"

After saying that, he was about to swing his fist.

The bird seller became anxious.

He immediately moved the birdcage aside.

He advised: "Sir, don't be angry. It's just an animal. You are a magnanimous person. Don't bother with an animal."

"That's right, that's right. It was you who wanted to take advantage of the parrot. It's not the parrot's fault. If you ask me, I couldn't say that." Someone nearby came to the rescue.

When the man saw that he was in the wrong, he had no choice but to leave in anger.

At this time, the onlookers saw that the parrot was smart and started bidding.

"I'll give you twenty-one taels!"

"You only have one tael more than that girl just now, and you're dreaming of buying this parrot? You're just wishful thinking! I'll give you thirty taels!"

After this little episode, the price of the parrot actually increased by ten taels of silver.

That wasn't all. Someone else shouted, "I'll give you thirty-five taels of silver, and I'll take it all away."

"No! I'll offer thirty-eight taels!" another onlooker shouted.

Shen Li saw that the situation was not good.

Although there are quite a few people here now, the price is only around thirty or forty taels of silver. If we wait a little longer, and then attract people with more financial resources, who knows, this parrot might be bought by someone else.

She whispered to Mu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, do you really want this parrot?"

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.

"want to."

"Then how much money are you willing to pay for it?" Shen Li asked.

"Under a hundred taels, maybe." Mu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Under a hundred taels is still acceptable. If it's higher, I won't be willing to spend the money. After all, my money is not blown by the wind. A palace banquet won't make me spend that much money."

Shen Li nodded.

"Then just pay fifty taels of silver and buy the parrot right now."

"Okay." Mu Xiaoxiao trusts her friend Shen Li very much.

"Fifty taels! I'll give you fifty taels of silver!" Mu Xiaoxiao shouted.

At this time, everyone turned their eyes to Mu Xiaoxiao.

The bid for a bird was actually fifty taels!

This is ridiculous!

Even the man selling the parrot did not expect that one of his parrots could be sold for fifty taels of silver.

If the deal goes through, he'll make a killing.

This parrot was bought from a farmer for one or two taels of silver when he was wandering in the Western Regions.

It took him three months to tame the parrot and it began to obey his words. During this period, he spent fifty cents on buying millet, and in total he spent less than two taels of silver.

But now it can be sold for fifty taels of silver, which is dozens of times more!

"Anyone else have bids?"

The bird seller looked around and saw that no one was bidding. He said, "Since no one wants to buy it, I will sell it to this lady."

Mu Xiaoxiao was very happy. Just as she was about to take out some silver from her purse, she heard a gentle voice coming from the crowd behind her.

"My master offers one hundred taels!"

boom!

The onlookers were attracted by the sound and immediately moved to the sides to make way.

A woman wearing a pink dress and a fox fur cloak appeared in everyone's sight.

"Shen Zhihua?!"

Shen Li subconsciously called out the name.

"Sister, long time no see. I heard that you and Prince Chen encountered assassins in the northern border, and I was really worried about you! Now that I see that you are unharmed, I am relieved."

Shen Li's face was indifferent.

"Thank you for your concern, sister. I'm fine."

At this moment, the crowd was in turmoil.

"Wow! Is this the Princess of the God of War, Chen Wangfei? Then this is her sister, the daughter of Prime Minister Shen and the current Crown Prince's concubine, right?"

"Yes, it should be."

Although the common people didn't know the person, they had heard about the gossip in the houses of the powerful and wealthy.

So after listening to the conversation between the two, I could guess their identities almost exactly.

Shen Zhihua disdained to smile at the common people. She glanced at the parrot in the cage and said, "Although we have a personal relationship, business is business. I want this parrot! I hope you don't mind, sister."

Mu Xiaoxiao was immediately unhappy.

She put her hands on her hips, looking ready to fight back. "Why? I bought this parrot, and now it's mine. It has nothing to do with you!"

The maidservant beside Shen Zhihua stepped forward and said, "This is the one favored by the Crown Prince's concubine. Our price is higher than yours. Ask the parrot seller whether they want to sell it to us or you!"

Mu Xiaoxiao raised her hand angrily and slapped the maid.

"How can a lowly servant like you interrupt when the masters are talking?"

The maid's face suddenly became red and swollen, and five finger marks were clearly imprinted on her face.

She was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and walked up to Shen Zhihua with all her strength.

"Concubine, she...she hit me..."
