Chapter 86: Finding Shuer Academy
"Don't worry," Lin Xi looked at one of the materials carefully, "If I like it, I can afford it."
The guy looked at Lin Xi with suspicion. It was obvious that this guy was just bragging. The materials here were so expensive, how could she afford it?
"This, this, and this," Lin Xi pointed at three pieces of beautifully patterned material, "How much are they in total?"
"A total of one hundred and fifty taels," the waiter kept watching Lin Xi's expression.
Lin Xi's expression remained the same, without any change, and he said proudly, "It's all covered."
The guy thought he had heard it wrong. He wanted all of them?
"Wait a minute, no," the girl in blue held down the piece of fabric that Lin Xi had chosen, "This is the fabric I like, you can't buy it!"
Dai Jin'er immediately retorted, "You are going too far, girl. You slandered us before that we couldn't afford it, and now that we want to buy it, you are trying to snatch the material from us."
The girl in blue pressed down on the fabric tightly, "This is what I've been eyeing for a long time."
She pestered her mother at home for a long time and finally got the money to buy the material. If she gave it to Lin Xi, she would regret it to death.
"Really?" Lin Xi looked at the waiter, "How much is this horse?"
Man: "Sixty-eight taels."
Lin Xi nodded, "One hundred taels, I want it."
The six words were like six hammers, hitting the blue-clothed girl's face hard.
How could she swallow this insult when Lin Xi made her so embarrassed?
"I told you I was the first one to see it!" shouted the girl in blue.
"When doing business, people are naturally willing to sell to someone who offers a higher price. Didn't you say that I have no money? Could it be that you are richer than me?" Lin Xi looked at the other party with great suspicion.
The girl in blue was furious, "Of course I'm richer than you."
"Then you can offer a higher price. No one can resist money." Lin Xi paused, and then said, "You can't afford it, right? I can raise the price to one hundred and twenty taels."
The girl in blue had never been humiliated like this before, so she immediately said, "One hundred and twenty-five taels!"
"One hundred and thirty taels!"
The girl in blue immediately followed, "One hundred and thirty-five taels!"
"One hundred and forty taels!"
"One hundred and forty-five taels!"
"One hundred and fifty taels!"
"One hundred and fifty-five taels!"
"I'll give it to you." Lin Xi stopped talking and turned to the clerk and said, "Pack up the other two pieces of fabric. Since they like them so much, I won't take them away."
"Okay!" The waiter's attitude towards Lin Xi immediately changed 180 degrees and he began to serve her attentively.
The girl in blue was left standing there in confusion, not even knowing what had just happened.
"Miss," the little maid was extremely anxious. Others might not know, but she knew that they did not bring so much money with them.
Over there, the guy had already wrapped the cloth, "A total of eighty-two taels."
Lin Xi paid the money happily, hugged the material and left happily.
The waiter came up to the girl in blue again and said, "Miss, one hundred and fifty-five taels."
The girl in blue frowned, "Didn't you just say sixty-eight taels?"
The waiter also felt wronged, "Miss, it was you who was willing to pay 155 taels."
Why are you blaming her now?
The girl in blue was speechless for a while. It was clear that Lin Xi had tricked her just now.
"Stop talking nonsense," the little maid said, "Sixty-eight taels, will you sell it?"
"Sell it. You can only afford sixty-eight taels. What can I do?" The material was originally priced at this price. There was no way he would not sell it.
Although it sounded rather unpleasant, the girl in blue really liked the material and ended up buying it.
Watching the two men leave, the waiter snorted, "Don't pretend to be rich if you don't have that much money!"
…
Dai Jin'er walked towards the store holding two pieces of fabric and suddenly said, "Sister, the two people in front seem to be the head of the village and his son."
Lin Xi looked carefully and found that it was indeed them, but why were they standing at the entrance of Shuer Academy?
"Wait a minute, let's go through the small path and see what they are going to do." Lin Xi said.
So, the two of them followed the path beside them and walked near the two people.
All I heard was Zhao Pingwei saying, "I'm sure Xiao Yongyan is in there. As long as we talk to the teacher inside, Xiao Yongyan's reputation will be ruined."
"Is this method really useful?" Zhao Tan always felt that things couldn't be that simple.
"Dad, you don't know that scholars value reputation the most. If they have a bad reputation, they will not be accepted even if they pass the imperial examination." Zhao Pingwei said.
After hearing this, Zhao Tan said cautiously, "Let's see the teacher inside first."
"Dad, I've thought about it for you. When the time comes, you can say that Xiao Yongyan is selfish in the village, never helps the villagers, and even molested the girls." Zhao Pingwei said, "Then we can find a few more witnesses, and Xiao Yongyan's road to study will be ruined."
Lin Xi listened to all this with an expressionless face, and just thought that the two people were really stupid.
However, Dai Jin'er, who didn't know the truth, was extremely angry after hearing this. Reading is such a rare thing. If Xiao Yongyan could read, it would be a good thing for the village. Why did he try to destroy it!
"Does this village head really consider our village?" Dai Jin'er said angrily.
"Don't worry, they won't succeed." Lin Xi was calm, as if the Zhao family was not plotting against her husband.
Dai Jin'er was very puzzled as to how Lin Xi could be so sure.
On the other side, Zhao Pingwei knocked on the door carefully.
Soon, the door opened and Dai Laner poked her head out.
The two sides looked at each other, with confusion in their eyes and hearts, wondering why the other party was here.
"Dai Lan'er, you!" Li Zheng Zhao had only heard that Dai Lan'er was working in the town, but he never thought that she was working in Shuer School.
"Village head, is there anything you can do?" Dai Laner asked.
Zhao Pingwei was simple-minded and thought that with Dai Lan'er around, their chances of success would be greatly increased.
"Aunt, it's great that you're here. Um, is the teacher here?" Zhao Pingwei spoke while peeking inside.
"I'm in class." Dai Laner said.
"Then when will he finish class? We have something important to discuss with him!" Zhao Pingwei said.
Dai Lan'er remembered what Xiao Yongyan had asked her to do, and knew that she couldn't let the Zhao family know his true identity, so she said, "The teacher here has a strange personality and never sees outsiders. I'm afraid you won't be able to see him."
"Auntie, don't lie to me," Zhao Pingwei said in a friendly manner, "You have been working here, so you must have some friendship with the teacher. Just help introduce him to us."
Dai Lan'er: "Although I work here, I never go to the master's room."
To a certain extent, this is indeed true. Xiao Yongyan has always cleaned his house by himself, so she doesn't have to do it.
"What exactly do you want to see the Master about?" Dai Laner asked tentatively.
"It's still Xiao Yongyan." Zhao Pingwei said.
Lin Xi heard it clearly at the foot of the wall and told Xiao Yongyan about Xiao Yongyan's affairs, which was interesting.
