Chapter 501 A chance encounter in the market
"Stall owner, you are not honest in doing business. My young master is going to buy it, how can you sell it to others?" Qingyan was unhappy when he saw this.
"And you! Don't you know the principle of first come first served? We have already paid the silver, and you come up and grab it?" Qingyan scolded the man.
The man crossed his arms across his chest, looking as if he was enjoying a good show.
"Then ask the stall owner to sell it to you!"
Jiang Youzhen looked at the stall owner and said, "My dear, you really need to be honest and follow the first come first served principle when doing business. If you keep doing business like this, who would dare to buy your stuff? I was the first one to arrive and I paid the money. But you saw that he gave more, so you sold it to him. That's not how you do business."
Unexpectedly, the stall owner held on to the two taels of silver and refused to let go, "Sir! That person paid faster than you! Besides, I'm just a businessman, I will definitely sell to whoever pays more!"
Jiang Youzhen shook his head. "Whoever has more money can buy it, so I'll offer ten taels of silver."
The stall owner's eyes lit up immediately when he heard that, and he took back the hand he had handed to the man.
He said to the man in tight clothes, "Sir, what do you think? The young man is offering ten taels, so just give it to him!"
As he said this, he looked at the man with eyes full of expectation. The look was self-evident, he just wanted the man to give a little more.
"Hey! Is that unnecessary? I originally wanted to give it to you. Aren't you wasting your money?" The man turned around and teased Jiang Youzhen.
"No merit, no reward! I don't know you, young master, so I dare not accept your kindness. Besides, the item is worth one tael of silver, but you insisted on paying two taels. I think the word 'sucker' is written on your face!" Jiang Youzhen snorted coldly.
The stall owner saw that the two men seemed to know each other. He looked between them and then handed it to Jiang Youzhen firmly.
"Since the young master likes it, I'll give it to you!"
Jiang Youzhen sneered and turned away, "I don't want it anymore, sell it to someone else!"
"Eh? You little bastard, what's the point of having fun with me? You said you would buy something but you don't." The stall owner was a little annoyed.
"You said you would sell it, but now you don't? I won't buy it. What? Do you want to go to the government office?" Jiang Youzhen turned his head and looked at the other party coldly. The stall owner was so scared that he shut up immediately.
The man couldn't help laughing, "If she doesn't want it, then I don't want it either!"
The stall owner watched the three people leave one after another, and he was so angry that his nose almost broke.
"Bah! What kind of people are they! Is being a rich boy so great?"
"Hey! Don't you recognize me?" the man caught up with Jiang Youzhen and asked with a smile.
When Qingyan saw that this man was trying to squeeze next to the young master, she immediately glared at him and stood between the two of them.
"The thief that the whole city is looking for? I don't think it's a good idea to know you."
As Jiang Youzhen was speaking, he noticed a stall nearby selling children's toys, all of which were carved from wood, and he prepared to buy some.
The little nephews of my eldest and second sisters are coming to the capital together. These novel toys are finely made and better than those in the capital.
"Young master, are you buying this for your kid? This mechanical bird is a craft that was brought over from the Western Regions. Only I can make it, as other families have lost the skill." The stall owner was an old man with gray beard. When he saw Jiang Youzhen, he looked at him as if he had seen a fat sheep.
"Really? I just saw several stalls over there that have it."
The old man didn't feel embarrassed when Jiang Youzhen exposed him. "They are all imitations of mine. They look similar but not the same. Do you want to buy one? Five hundred coins each."
"You bought it for your kid? This shoddy thing is not worth even five hundred coins."
Jiang Youzhen looked at him speechlessly. It was a miracle that he could live to this age! His emotional intelligence was worrying!
Why didn't I see this guy was so talkative before? Maybe he was seriously injured at the time and didn't have the energy to talk so much?
That’s right! This person is one of the original male protagonists that Jiang Youzhen had invaded late at night when he was staying at the inn in Fucheng, Li Dongsheng!
At that time, Li Dongsheng was being pursued by another male protagonist, Qin Yandong, and hid in her room. For this reason, she had to get up at night to accept Qin Yandong's interrogation.
"I don't like what you say, young master. My craftsmanship is praised by people all over the place, but no one can cook as well as I can."
The old man widened his eyes in displeasure, and looked like he was about to argue with Li Dongsheng.
Jiang Youzhen stroked her forehead, it seemed like she wouldn't be able to buy anything today. Whatever she wanted to buy, this guy would come forward to interfere.
"Go back!" Jiang Youzhen didn't want to have anything to do with him. Although this man currently has no official position, he has always been at odds with Qin Yandong.
Qin Yandong is the third son of the eldest son of Duke Qin's family and currently serves as the Right Assistant Secretary of the Dali Temple.
The Dali Temple is notorious for its evil deeds, and is extremely protective of its people. Once they target you, they can monitor you for years. They are very patient.
"You helped me last time, and I haven't repaid you yet! What do you want? I'll take care of it all today."
Li Dongsheng actually didn't want to owe Jiang Youzhen a favor. When he came out of the restaurant just now, he saw Jiang Youzhen, and the more he looked, the more familiar he looked.
Jiang Youzhen's appearance is indeed hard to forget. However, after not seeing her for more than a year, Jiang Youzhen seems to be more beautiful.
Besides, he had heard the name Jiang Youzhen several times before. He was not sure that the girl from that night was the champion of the Tongzhou Prefecture County Examination, but now he was finally sure because she appeared in the capital and must have entered the Imperial College.
As for why Jiang Youzhen disguised herself as a man and why she took the imperial examination, that is Jiang Youzhen's business. Everyone has their own secrets.
Jiang Youzhen: Is this what we talked about in the previous life, where a rich young man goes to a bar and Mr. X pays for everything?
I couldn't help but laugh. This guy has quite a big tone.
"Did you say this?" Jiang Youzhen turned to look at Li Dongsheng. She just remembered who the other person was because she remembered this voice.
I had never seen Li Dongsheng's face before because he was wearing a mask that night.
Looking at him today, he is indeed a handsome and sunny type. After all, he is one of the male protagonists, and it is impossible for the female protagonist to be attracted by him if he is ugly.
I just don't know if these two are hooking up now. Li Dongsheng was born in the Jin'an Marquis Mansion, and he is the second son of the family, with an extraordinary status. The Jin'an Marquis Mansion is the prince's party, but it's a pity that the prince is now abolished. I don't know who the Jin'an Marquis has turned to now.
The Marquis of Jin'an was already old and had retired long ago. The heir apparent was Li Dongsheng's uncle, Li Yanzheng, who was now the third-rank official of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
The officials in charge of the Ministry of Personnel were promoted and had considerable power. The reason why Li Yanzheng was able to become the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was because the current emperor thought that Marquis Jin'an had made great contributions in the past, and Li Yanzheng naturally benefited from his father's influence.
"That's it! You say it." Li Dongsheng crossed his arms over his chest and said confidently.
Jiang Youzhen sneered in his heart, wanting to use this little thing to exchange for his life-saving grace? He looked carefree, but he was actually very shrewd.
Do you think you are easy to fool and a poor person who has never seen the world?
Jiang Youzhen narrowed his eyes, "If that's the case, then I won't be polite."
