When Shen Baiying heard the clerk's offer, she immediately said, "Xiao Lin, your price is not fair. If you ask me, these three things together are worth at most three taels."
The clerk hurriedly said, "Miss Chen, please don't talk nonsense. This hairpin alone costs two taels of silver. If you bargain like this, our boss will lose a lot of money."
"I know the prices of your things," Shen Baiying said, hands on her hips, "and these two girls are very close to me. How about you give them the lowest price and make friends with them?"
Li Nian said calmly: "Why don't we go look somewhere else?" It's just a piece of clothing. If the price can't be negotiated, just go to another store, and there's no need to waste time talking here for a long time.
The waiter was so frustrated by the women's words that he finally gave in and said to Li Sisi, "Okay, okay, I'll take your price of three or four hundred taels of silver. Deal."
Li Sisi was in a good mood after successfully buying three items at the price she wanted.
I was just about to thank and say goodbye to Shen Baiying.
But she asked enthusiastically, "Where are you going next? You're new here and you must not be familiar with the road. How about I take you there?"
Li Sisi looked at her in surprise. She thought she was quite friendly and outgoing, but she didn't expect that this girl was even more enthusiastic than her.
However, since this was their first meeting, she was not so shameless as to cause trouble for him. She smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but we have a carriage, so we won't bother you."
Shen Baiying looked around and saw a simple black carriage. She was very surprised: "Your family has a carriage?" Ordinary families would not buy carriages. Everyone is more accustomed to riding horses.
There are only a few families in the entire Dong'an City who own horse-drawn carriages.
Thinking about how Li Sisi bargained in the store just now, are all wealthy people so stingy?
Shen Baiying's eyes changed a little when she looked at the two of them, but she still said enthusiastically: "I just heard in the store that your sister also wants to buy clothes? I know a shop that sells clothes that she can wear. It just so happens that I have nothing to do now, so I'll take you there. It will be easier for you to find the way next time."
"Thank you very much, young lady." Li Nianqian smiled and made a gesture of invitation, "Young lady, would you like to go with us in the carriage?"
"Okay." Shen Baiying did not refuse, and even agreed readily, eager to try.
"By the way, my name is Shen Baiying, Bai means white, and Ying means heroic."
Li Nian received her curious gaze and replied, "My sister's name is Li Sisi, and my name is Li Nian, which means thoughts."
Shen Baiying said with a look of surprise: "Your names are very interesting."
Li Nian smiled slightly and said calmly: "Miss Shen's name has a good meaning."
After she said this, she lowered her eyes and was silent for a while. The carriage was silent for a moment.
Shen Baiying simply lifted the curtain of the carriage, stretched her head in the direction where Li Sisi was driving the carriage, and glanced ahead, seeing a group of people gathered together.
She quickly pointed there and said, "Sisi, stop there for a moment. Uncle Wang's house must be haunted again."
"Haunted?" Li Sisi looked at the crowd gathered in front of her, "Are there ghosts here?"
As she asked this question, Li Sisi shuddered unconsciously. It was quite scary to talk about such a topic in the middle of the day.
Shen Baiying replied nonchalantly, “Anyway, I haven’t seen it, but things in Uncle Wang’s house have been catching fire for no reason since last month, and everyone says his house is haunted.”
At this time, the carriage had stopped at a nearby place where horses could be tied.
Li Sisi and Shen Baiying got off the carriage.
Li Nian didn't like to join in the fun, so she said, "Sisi, I'll wait for you in the car."
"Okay." Li Sisi and Shen Baiying squeezed into the crowd together.
Li Sisi saw a plaque with the words "Baiweizhai" hanging on the door, so this is a restaurant?
The entrance of "Baiweizhai" was surrounded by people in three layers, and the sound of discussions and conversations was everywhere.
"What's burning today?"
"Today, the quilts drying in his yard suddenly caught fire, and the will-o'-the-wisp flames flew out of the house! It was terrifying!"
"I wonder which ghost they offended? Ghost lights are everywhere in broad daylight, and this time they're blue!"
"Alas! The Wang family is so pitiful!" An old voice sighed with regret, "Two sons died in the military, leaving behind only their eldest daughter-in-law and grandson. Two years ago, they also took their twelve-year-old grandson away during the military conscription. We still don't know whether he's dead or alive."
An old woman echoed: "Who says it's not true? If it were someone else, they would have died long ago!"
The woman sitting in front of Li Sisi also sighed when she heard this: "Poor old couple, they are such kind people. Their meat is the best and cheapest on the whole street. From time to time, they even give it to us old neighbors."
A woman holding a child immediately responded, "I heard from Old Lady Wang that her family is doing this to accumulate merit for their grandson! I hope God will open his eyes and let her grandson return home safely!"
Li Sisi listened to the conversations around her and basically figured out what was going on.
Suddenly someone shouted, "The police are coming! Make way! Make way!"
Li Sisi had originally planned to pull Shen Baiying away, but she saw Shen Baiying's eyes suddenly light up and stare at the direction of the official.
Following her gaze, Li Sisi saw Pei Yanli, a tall and long-legged man wearing a black official robe. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his deep eyes were cold and serious. He walked towards her with an expressionless face.
When he came closer, Shen Baiying waved with a smile on her face: “Brother Pei!”
Pei Yanli looked at her with cold eyes, and paused when they fell on Li Sisi's face. He frowned, pursed his thin lips and said nothing.
