In the end, due to the long distance, the price was finally raised to nearly one hundred taels. Shen Jia just wanted to solve the problem once and for all. After she adjusted all the seeds with instruments, she could completely realize self-circulation in her own territory in the future.
By the way, she also found out from Liu Rulan that Duobao Pavilion was the favorite place for noble ladies and rich girls in the city. There were countless treasures there, and of course the prices were very high.
While speaking, he also inadvertently reminded Shen Jia that not everyone can afford that place, and asked Shen Jia to think carefully before going there.
"Thank you, Manager Liu, for the reminder. We are waiting for your good news at the Yuelai Inn."
Both parties stood up and bowed to each other. Then Liu Rulan said to Shen Jia, "I'll see you off, Boss Shen. Please!"
After leaving the Maoyuan Grain Shop, Xu Zhao couldn't help but praise Shen Jialai on the street. "Boss, when you were talking to Manager Liu just now, your aura was truly intimidating. It was just a back-and-forth, and it made me feel like my brain wasn't working properly."
"Hahahahaha! What are you talking about? Fortunately, what we wanted to do has been completed. The rest is just to wait for news from their Maoyuan Grain Store.
Didn't your family or friends ask you to bring anything for them when you came to the capital this time? I'm telling you, in a big place like this, many things are cheaper than in our town. If you want something, buy it now before you leave."
As he spoke, Shen Jia looked at the people around him and asked a few questions. Even Shen Jia himself wanted to buy something, but the others didn't have any.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, everyone's face suddenly turned red, and they stammered, not knowing what to say.
Ma Qi bumped Lin Zixiong's shoulder and said jokingly, "Boss, you guessed it right. It's because of this job you offered him that the family of the girl he had been engaged to for many years is willing to marry him. I heard that he wants to buy some wedding supplies in the capital."
This was the first time Shen Jia had heard of this. "So, I'm the matchmaker for you two? That's quite new. If that's the case, why don't you hurry up and go buy something? Be careful, or the girl won't see anything and will start making excuses. I also need to go buy something, so we'll separate now. Xu Zhao will stay with me, and we'll meet at the inn tonight."
"Thank you, Boss."
Seeing so many people expressing their gratitude at the same time almost scared the people on the road. Then, when they saw that some of them were carrying knives, the words they wanted to say were immediately blocked in their throats. They watched Shen Jia and his group go away with resentment.
After splitting up with the others, Shen Jia took Xu Zhao and asked for directions until they arrived in front of Duobao Pavilion.
This Duobao Pavilion is really a good place known to everyone in the city. No matter who you ask, everyone knows the route. After telling them, they will remind the two people that the things inside are not cheap, so they should not walk around casually.
The Duobao Pavilion in front of us is very similar to the buildings in Shengjing City, with carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and pointed corners. The whole appearance reveals a sense of luxury, and the guests who walk in also look unusual.
For the sake of his own money, Shen Jia had to go in even if it seemed inappropriate. There were a wide variety of hairpins, rings and jewelry inside, and each one looked very valuable.
As soon as I entered, I could feel the contemptuous gazes of the people around me, and the crowded space suddenly left an open space.
Some people even pinched their noses and said, "How can anyone enter this Duobao Pavilion? What if they touch the corner of my clothes?"
"Yes, the shopkeeper doesn't care."
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion did not agree to anything else, but explained: "Everyone who comes is a guest. We at Duobao Pavilion very much welcome all ladies and young ladies to visit."
Respect the clothes first and then the person. Shen Jia was already accustomed to this rule. She looked up to the shopkeeper who was speaking. Seeing that everyone had made space for her, she walked up to the shopkeeper and took out the jade pendant from her purse.
"Hello, the person who gave me the jade pendant said that it can be exchanged for 100 taels of silver. I came to pick it up today."
The shopkeeper almost lost his balance when he saw this thing. He leaned on the counter and took the jade pendant from Shen Jia with trembling hands. He said respectfully:
"Miss, please follow me. Please come in and rest for a while. What you want will be here soon."
Afterwards, he respectfully invited them to sit in the inner room. As he watched the three people disappear before his eyes, the man who had just spoken suddenly changed his expression, thinking: Did I offend the shopkeeper? Isn't it normal for me to dislike the way those two people are dressed?
Moreover, they had never seen the owner of Duobao Pavilion be so respectful to anyone, and their hearts suddenly sank.
Little did they know that after Shen Jia and Xu Zhao were invited in and received a cup of tea from the shopkeeper, they would have to wait endlessly without even anyone to talk to.
Xu Zhao couldn't help but start to worry, "Boss, the token has been taken away by someone else. What if they change their mind? This world is full of treacherous people and we have to be on guard."
Xu Zhao's words were also very well-written. Shen Jia chuckled, "Everyone saw it just now. If they go back on their word, Duobao Pavilion would be unfaithful. They shouldn't be so short-sighted."
Lin Baoshen left their room, his pace quickening until he reached the door of a room upstairs. He bent down and knocked softly, "Master, I have something important to report."
A cold male voice sounded, "Come in."
When Lin Baoshen entered the room, he didn't dare to look the person in the eye. He was frightened by the terrifying aura with just a quick glance.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with trembling lips, "Master, this is the jade pendant that a girl just brought. I thought I had seen it on you before, so I dared not neglect it. The person who came is now in the small room of our Duobao Pavilion.
The girl said that the person who gave her the jade pendant said he could give her 100 taels. Do you think this is true? "
When Yan Xu saw the jade pendant, he immediately recalled the scene of being slaughtered. He didn't expect that this person would come to collect the silver now.
At Yan Xu's signal, Lin Baoshen kept moving forward and quickly placed the jade pendant in front of Yan Xu. Yan Xu felt the familiar touch and felt like he hadn't seen it for a long time.
"Since she's here, give her 110 taels. I don't want to owe anyone anything, so I'll give her whatever I say."
"yes."
Hearing Yan Xu say this, Lin Baoshen was thankful that he had not seen it wrong just now. If he had done something wrong, it would be more than just sweating.
"Master, I'll be leaving now."
Yan Xu waved his hand when he heard this. Lin Baoshen turned around and went out to close the door without saying anything.
Just as he walked away, a man suddenly jumped down from the beam inside the house and said to Yan Xu who was holding the jade pendant:
"You're willing to give the jade pendant as a token of trust, and you're sending it away for a hundred taels. I wonder if your things are worthless, or if you have some feelings for the girl?"
"Why are you here instead of staying with the peace talks?"
"What's there to talk about with those turtle-like people? I'd rather go into the city and talk to you first, and experience the customs and beauties of the Northern Territory."
Yan Xu couldn't bear to look at that sloppy look. How could he know such a guy? He really made a bad choice in friendship.
The person who came was none other than the fifth prince, Zhao Yuanyou, who was arranged into the peace negotiation team to serve as the royal representative.
After understanding the situation, Lin Baoshen took out a silver note of one hundred taels and ten taels of silver, walked to the door where Shen Jia was, and knocked on it softly.
At this time, Xu Zhao felt that she was almost full of tea. When she heard the knock on the door, she wanted to roll her eyes. Her stomach had been hungry and thirsty for a long time.
"Come in!"
Shen Jia continued to maintain her good mood, because if this deal was completed, she could perfectly offset the cost of buying soybeans this time, and maybe even make some extra.
She has always maintained great patience for things that can benefit her.
Lin Baoshen, who came in, also knew that he had been delayed for a long time, and he apologized first, "I'm sorry, ladies, it took some time to verify the authenticity of the jade pendant. I'm really sorry.
Here are 100 taels of silver notes and 10 taels of fine silver as a token of my gratitude to you, young lady. I hope you will accept them."
"That's not true. The rooms in Duobao Pavilion are elegant and unique, and there are refreshments for everyone. Let's just take a break here. You're too kind, boss."
Although his words were humble, Shen Jia's actions were not slow at all. He took the banknotes and silver, checked them to make sure they were correct, and said goodbye to the shopkeeper.
"Now that the money and goods have been paid, we will leave first. Please don't see us off, boss. We can just leave quietly."
Lin Baoshen was not in a position to refuse Shen Jia's words, so he called the shop assistant and sent him to the back door of Duobao Pavilion to leave.
So when the group of people who had just laughed at Shen Jia and Xu Zhao were waiting for them to come out and apologize, the two had already left through the back door.
Thinking that he could bring some fun and interesting things to his family, Shen Jia looked at Xu Zhao and said, "Is there anything you want to buy for your family? We can go to the busiest street and take a look."
"Okay, okay, I'll take a look too. I want to buy something for my parents that they haven't seen before."
Although Xu Zhao's supernatural powers brought a lot of damage to her family, her parents took good care of her, so now that she has the chance, she also wants to buy something for her family.
So when the two returned to the inn, they fully demonstrated their potential, both carrying large and small bags of things.
Seeing An Yun waiting at the door of the inn, Shen Jia asked in confusion: "Brother An, is there something wrong? Why are you waiting for us here?"
"I have already done what you asked me to do this morning."
After saying that, he pulled out a thin piece of paper from his arms. It looked like it should be a pass that could allow the little girl to change her name, and it would also be her future identity document.
This happened to be the time when the disaster victims in the northern border were re-identifying their identities. An Yun did this very smoothly and did not spend all the money given by Shen Jia, so he also handed the remaining silver to Shen Jia.
"Thank you, Brother An. I always feel more at ease when you're around. Is this girl awake?"
To be honest, they had just left for the day today, and only asked the inn to help boil medicine and feed medicine. No one knew how the person was doing now.
An Yun nodded when he heard this. "The little girl has woken up, but she seems very afraid of men approaching and touching her. Her voice is not very good either. I guess it's the same as what the doctor said. Her voice will be affected in the future."
"Well, let's go see her."
After hearing this, Shen Jia and Xu Zhao quickly understood that the little girl's reaction must be related to the previous injury she suffered.
