    89: Miss Down and Loyal Orion (15)

    “What, you want five taels!” the shopkeeper raised his voice, shocked by Su Yan’s behavior of opening his mouth like a lion.

    Luo Cheng frowned and said dissatisfiedly: “Shopkeeper, please lower your voice, you’re scaring my wife.” The shopkeeper’s face immediately became embarrassed. Su Yan hid her lips and smiled, and then said seriously: “Shopkeeper, you think five taels of silver for a piece of drawing paper is expensive?”

    The shopkeeper immediately said excitedly: “You might as well go grab it!” The voice was obviously much softer than last time.

    “As far as I know, your high-quality clothes cost more than twenty taels, and the cost is at most five taels. If you only give one tael of silver according to the drawings mentioned by the shopkeeper before, you will make a net profit of more than ten taels and nearly twenty taels for one piece of clothing, but you can’t even get five taels of silver.”You don’t even have to pay for the drawings?” Su Yan looked at the shopkeeper with a half-smile, and continued: “And I asked that my drawings be sold only to your family.Could it be that the shopkeeper thinks that I am a country woman and wants to bully me because I don’t understand the market?”

    The shopkeeper had a bitter look on his face after hearing her previous analysis. He just saw that the girl was shabbily dressed, and although she had a good appearance and temperament, she was just an ignorant village woman, so he wanted to lower the price. Anyway, in the eyes of poor people like them, one or two is already a huge amount. He expected that she would not refute, but unexpectedly she turned out to be shrewd. He was about to smile and apologize, but saw that the girl had already gotten up.

    “Since the shopkeeper is not sincere enough, I’d better go to another place and ask.” Su Yan said as if she was about to leave, taking the drawing from the shopkeeper’s hand.

    When the shopkeeper heard this, it was okay. If she went to find another company, would his business still be open?He said hurriedly: “Girl, we have something to discuss. If you are not satisfied with the price I offer, let’s talk about it later. Why are you leaving?” As he spoke, he was afraid that they would want to leave, so he immediately grabbed Luo Cheng’s arm, holding them back to prevent them from leaving.Luo Cheng glanced at him coldly and broke away lightly.

    Su Yan didn’t really want to leave, so she followed the steps he gave and sat down.The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said cautiously: “Then let’s follow the five taels that the girl said before?”

    But Su Yan looked at him and said, “The shopkeeper bullied me, and the clerk made me angry. How could I have thought of cooperating with you…” After speaking, she sighed.Luo Cheng glanced at her silently. Is this her way of venting her anger?His little lady is so smart!

    When the shopkeeper heard that things had turned around, he hurriedly hit the snake with a stick and said, “I don’t know what kind of injustice the girl has suffered in this shop?”

    Su Yan described the guy’s behavior one by one without adding any exaggeration. At the end, he sighed: “With a guy like this, I don’t know how many customers we will lose…”

    After hearing this, the shopkeeper slapped the table and said, “We can’t keep this guy in the store because of such a thing!” He immediately went out and fired the guy. Su Yan had specifically pointed it out to him before.

    Luo Cheng and Su Yan looked at each other and smiled. No matter whether the shopkeeper was really angry or fake, as long as he achieved his goal.That guy was indeed unqualified, so forget it if he didn’t see it. Now that he offended her, let’s show him some color and see if he dares to talk nonsense in the future!

    When the shopkeeper came back, Su Yan readily signed the contract. When the shopkeeper saw that she could not only draw drawings, but also read and write, and could write in beautiful hairpin regular script, he immediately admired her a little more.

    There were fifteen drawings in total, and a total of seventy-five taels of silver was settled at one time. Su Yan asked the shopkeeper to take five taels of broken silver for daily shopping.Carrying the heavy baggage, Luo Cheng felt a little unbelievable that such a stack of paper could be exchanged for seventy-five taels of silver?Ayan is so awesome!

    The shopkeeper sent the two to the door of the store, and a young man walked towards them, hugging a charming woman. The woman was wearing revealing clothes, and she didn’t look like a girl from a good family.The man Su Yan knew was Zhao Yuan. He lowered his head and said to the woman, “I will buy you whatever you like!” The woman responded with a sweet smile: “You are so generous, thank you!”

    Su Yan was about to pull Luo Cheng away quickly, but Zhao Yuan raised his head at this moment and saw Su Yan who was anxious to leave. Looking at her beautiful face and the faint expression on her face, even though she was wearing coarse clothes, she could not hide her elegant temperament.Thinking about the extremely tacky woman in my arms with heavy makeup and a strong smell of powder in her nose, I immediately felt disgusted.

    “Hey, isn’t this Yan Yan, such a coincidence?” Zhao Yuan’s tone was frivolous, and he looked at Su Yan with malicious eyes.

    Luo Cheng immediately took half a step forward, blocked Su Yan behind him, blocked Zhao Yuan’s sight, and asked warily: “Who are you?” Why do you call her Ayan so intimately?

    Su Yan slowly stood up from behind Luo Cheng, “Mr. Zhao, long time no see.”

    Zhao Yuan’s eyes were fixed on Su Yan again. No matter how he looked at her, he felt that she was prettier than other women. He stared at her delicate face and said frivolously: “Since we have met, why don’t we go get together together?”

    The woman next to Zhao Yuan had long been dissatisfied. As soon as this woman appeared, Zhao Yuan focused all his attention on her, not paying any attention to himself, this vixen!Now that she finally got the chance to speak, she smiled sweetly and said: “Sister, since Mr. Zhao mentioned it, let’s get together. Tianxiang Tower is not far away…”

    Su Yan glanced at her coldly. This woman looked like a brothel girl. How could she compare herself to her?She couldn’t help scolding: “Who is your sister? I’m not like you…” She stopped talking and glanced at the woman with her clear eyes.

    The woman was so angry that she turned blue, and she didn’t know that she was mocking herself for betraying her lust and committing suicide.”Isn’t she just a village woman? She actually has the nerve to seduce Mr. Zhao!” She was so angry that she naturally started to talk unscrupulously.

    When Luo Cheng heard this, he said angrily: “You ugly woman, why are you slandering my wife? My wife only said a few words to Mr. Zhao, how can she seduce him? Please keep your mouth clean!” After saying that, he pulled Su Yan and said: “Ayan, let’s go.”

    Su Yan followed him obediently, but Zhao Yuan’s voice came from behind: “See you at the same place next market day.” Luo Cheng paused and continued walking forward.

    The woman’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and this village man actually called herself ugly?What was even more shocking was what happened later. Zhao Yuan threw her away, said “You can go shopping by yourself” in a bad tone and strode away.A trace of resentment flashed across the woman’s face. Because he had embarrassed that woman, Mr. Zhao was angry with himself and vented his anger on that woman’s behalf?She had never been so angry in such a long time in the brothel. Who didn’t coax her with soft words?She won’t let that woman go!

    Su Yan followed Luo Cheng, and found that his hands were clenching tighter and tighter, and his scalp was numb. The first part was fine, but the last sentence “see you at the old place” was indeed a bit explicit. The old place was just a teahouse where the original owner and those rich young men often met.
