Chapter 277 Buying a Carriage
"Don't bother with that. You're welcome to bring a gift." Lu Qiniang said with a fake smile, "Hurry up and give me a real price. If you can do it, it's fine. If not, get out."
"Four thousand taels!"
Lu Qiniang turned around and was about to leave.
"Two thousand taels, no less."
"hehe."
"One thousand taels!"
Lu Qiniang did not stop.
"Five hundred taels, five hundred taels, no less. You don't have to cheat me, this is the lowest price. I have to run away after taking five hundred taels, otherwise I will offend the noble man, and I will have the life to make money but not the life to spend it. If it's less than five hundred taels, how far can I run?" said the skinny monkey.
Lu Qiniang is back.
"Tell me a little bit first, and I'll see if it's worth it."
"I was helping to buy gunpowder when I overheard someone's conversation. I was also there to buy gunpowder. Anyway, it worked. I swear to God..."
"Don't make it hard on God. He's busy trying to get rid of that scumbag guy, and he must be exhausted." Lu Qiniang said, "I'll trust you with five hundred taels of silver. Wait here for me, I'll go back and get the money. But if you lie to me, I'll risk my life to drag you down with me."
"Hurry up."
"Just stand here and don't move." Lu Qiniang said, "If I don't find you when I come back, I might regret it and not be willing to spend five hundred taels to exchange for another man. After all, you know how many men you can buy with five hundred taels."
"I got it. Stop talking nonsense and come back soon." The skinny monkey put his hands in his sleeves, and white air came out of his mouth when he spoke.
This horrible weather is freezing.
He had been waiting for Lu Qiniang for a long time, and now his whole body was cold.
Lu Qiniang ran away in a hurry.
Less than half an hour later, Lu Qiniang appeared.
The skinny monkey was delighted.
Here it comes.
But as Lu Qiniang got closer, he realized something was wrong.
Why are there several tall and strong men behind Lu Qiniang?
The skinny monkey subconsciously felt that something was wrong and turned around to run.
But he discovered to his despair that there were already several men at the other end of the alley, blocking his way.
Lu Qi Niang laughed heartily, "Run away, little brat!"
She was just worrying about how to repay Lu Jin's favor, when this idiot bumped into her.
She just went to find the Jinyiwei and asked them to come and arrest the person.
"Skinny monkey," she said, her hands on her hips, laughing arrogantly, "I can't afford your five hundred taels of silver. But after all, we know each other, so I found the Jinyiwei for you. Commander Lu should be very rich, you can ask him for the five hundred taels of silver."
The skinny monkey was taken away by the Jinyiwei.
Lu Qiniang went to work feeling refreshed.
Xiao Yan came back on his own.
"Zhao Zhao will stay at the Jiang family to help take care of Jiang Xuan. I will pick her up in the evening and send her off in the morning."
"Okay." Lu Qiniang nodded. "Thank you for your hard work. Xiao Yan, let's go buy two horses and a carriage."
Although I am reluctant to give them up, these things are necessary.
Fortunately, the shop has a backyard with a separate corner door for carriages to enter and exit, so if it can't fit at home, it can be placed in the shop.
Lu Qiniang was also thinking about buying another house nearby for greater convenience.
Anyway, she has spent so much of Xiao Yan's money, so the more lice there are, the less itchy they are.
Spending a few hundred taels to buy a house doesn’t seem like a big deal.
"Okay, I'll accompany you to pick a horse." Xiao Yan said.
"What about your Wangyun?"
"It will be done in the next few days."
"I'll give you the silver."
"If you need money, I'll ask you for it." Xiao Yan said, "Maybe I have to sell out the family that raised the horses first..."
"Okay, fine, I'll do as you say."
On the way there, Lu Qiniang told her about the skinny monkey.
Seeing Xiao Yan seemed lost in thought, she quickly asked again, "Did I do something wrong? Later I thought, should I let you arrest the person first and ask yourself... But it's too late to regret it now."
"You did nothing wrong. You did a great job. If I had gotten involved and asked questions, I'd probably get bitten later." Xiao Yan said, "The less contact we have with this matter, the better."
"That's fine." Lu Qinniang felt relieved. "Xiao Yan, please teach me more in the future. I'm a little stupid, but I'm willing to learn."
After these recent events, she realized the importance of learning.
It’s not about reading, but about the human relationships and social skills of another world.
"Okay." Xiao Yan nodded with a smile, but the matter of the skinny monkey kept lingering in his mind.
The two went to the mule and horse market to buy horses. Xiao Yan picked out two horses of decent quality and after some bargaining, he spent two hundred taels of silver.
Seeing that Lu Qinniang was very distressed, Xiao Yan said, "If these two horses are carefully cared for, they can be used for a long time, and they may even be sold at a higher price."
Lu Qiniang was indeed comforted.
Although I don’t want to resell it, knowing the price is high still makes me happy.
The two of them spent another forty taels to pick out a carriage.
That's how our family bought big things that we would never have dared to think about before.
Lu Qiniang muttered, "Although we are indeed rich now, there are too many places to spend money. We still have to work hard this year."
"Well, do a good job." Xiao Yan sat in the front of the carriage, holding the whip in his hand and said with a smile, "Hold on tight, abandoned mother."
He can drive a car, but he is not very skilled.
Just take it slow.
The carriage started moving. Lu Qiniang touched here and there in the simple carriage, as if she had discovered a new world. "Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, there's actually a small foldable table here. Oh, I didn't think I'd broken it. No, no... Is this a candlestick for candles?"
It’s better to have your own car!
You can move whatever you want without being afraid or worrying about breaking anything.
Therefore, there is no money wasted in vain. Having money means that people can enjoy themselves and be happy.
Lu Qinniang sat, leaned back, and even wanted to lie down. Her heart was filled with joy. She was already thinking about making a few mats to put on the carriage when she got home, and putting some snacks in the carriage. It would be best if she also had clogs so that she could change into shoes on rainy days.
In short, all kinds of realistic and unrealistic ideas came one after another.
It’s so exciting to have my own car.
Lu Qiniang even wanted to buy some meat and vegetables to cook a table at home.
But on second thought, Daya would feel the most uncomfortable if Jiang Xuan acted like this, and she shouldn't do that, so she suppressed the thought.
At the same time, she also thought that Doctor Hu was right.
No matter how much she felt sorry for Jiang Xuan, she knew that he was someone else's child after all.
Only when I feel sorry for my own children can I think of Jiang Xuan.
This is probably human nature.
Speak of the devil and he will appear.
The carriage stopped at the door, and Lu Qiniang saw Doctor Hu standing at the door.
"Old Hu, what a coincidence." Lu Qiniang greeted with a smile.
"What a coincidence! I've been waiting for you for ages." Doctor Hu said unhappily, "Where did you steal this carriage?"
"I bought it. Come and use it when you have any problems at home." Lu Qiniang said generously, "What do you want to talk to me about? Is it about Jiang Xuan?"
