Chapter 13 I think you are a lecher
But he also knew that the marquis was very concerned about his reputation. If he didn't buy the daggers, the woman would look down on him. But if he did, spending more than 10,000 taels on three daggers would be a waste of time and money.
You know, the marquis came here to discuss the sale of weapons. Since he knew that the weapons made by their iron shop were sharper and harder than those made in other places, he planned to have them supply the military camp exclusively so that he would have a better chance of winning the war with neighboring countries.
But after several days of negotiation, he kept lowering the price, trying to get the lowest price. How could such a cost-conscious general be willing to spend more than 10,000 taels of silver to buy only three daggers?
Therefore, the marquis needed to give him a way out so that he would only buy cheap things and maintain his dignity in front of this woman.
Although three thousand taels is not cheap, he is still a marquis after all, and he can still decide on the money.
Mu Xingci frowned slightly upon hearing this. Is this dagger really that expensive? It seems to be beyond his budget. He thought it would only cost a thousand taels of silver, but he didn't expect it to cost even less than a fraction of that.
It's not that he doesn't have the money to buy it, but his status as a general is somewhat special. The soldiers on the border are exposed to the wind and rain and don't have much military pay, but he is wasting money on a woman, which is really not right.
Although the money is his own, if others know about it, it will still affect his reputation.
Yun Wansheng looked at his hesitant expression, with a hint of understanding in her eyes. It was not because she saw that he was reluctant to buy it for her, but because she understood that his identity did not allow him to make decisions at will.
After all, she had been a soldier, so she knew something about what went on in the barracks.
Whether in ancient times or modern times, whether it is personal money or national money, as long as you are in a high position, you cannot spend money like water on yourself. The morale of the army will be shaken.
I originally wanted to play a trick on him, but suddenly I felt that playing tricks on a qualified soldier would make me look despicable.
Soldiers should be respected in any dynasty, and a soldier's dignity should not be trampled upon because of personal emotions.
"My lord, these three daggers are not worth such a price. This shopkeeper Niu must be trying to take advantage of the opportunity to extort money from you. Let's not be fooled by him." After Yun Wansheng finished speaking, he walked to the shelf and took out an ordinary dagger.
"This is good, Shopkeeper Niu, how much is this in silver?"
"Miss, this only costs one and a half taels of silver." Shopkeeper Niu smiled kindly.
"That's it. My Lord, please pay!" Yun Wansheng turned around and looked at the man who was looking at her.
Mu Xingci didn't expect that this woman, who was so determined to buy those extremely expensive daggers just now, now said she didn't want to buy them, and even tried to find a way out by saying that the store was extorting her.
How could I not know that she was saving money for herself when she said that? I remember that she never considered these things before.
Once, she went to the street and saw a set of jade headdress that she liked. When she returned to the villa, she asked me for three thousand taels of silver and insisted on buying it, saying that other girls had it, and it would be embarrassing for her to become a general's concubine without it.
I felt that I owed her at that time, so I gave it to her. But two days later, she wanted to buy gold jewelry again and cried about how she had suffered since childhood and no one loved her. I felt soft-hearted when I heard it, so I gave it to her again.
Just because I unconditionally agreed to her request, she increasingly thought that I liked her and doted on her, which made her become more and more out of control.
Later, whenever she asked for something, he would directly refuse her and only give her what she deserved, and no longer repay favors without any bottom line.
I don't know what happened today. When I saw the woman who had changed a lot in front of me, I wanted to buy her something to make her happy. However, he didn't expect that the expensive dagger was not something he could do as he pleased. He also had to consider his image in the army and think about hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
When he was in a dilemma, the woman didn't let him feel embarrassed for too long. She said she didn't want it and picked a cheaper one.
The look in the woman's eyes when she turned around and looked at him contained no dissatisfaction or complaint, only a pure and natural smile. She didn't seem unhappy at all that he hadn't bought it for her.
Mu Xingci's eyes were gentle, and he didn't move forward. He picked up the red dagger and said, "Yun Wansheng, I don't have enough silver with me today, but I still have enough to buy a sword. Shopkeeper Niu, wrap this up."
Yun Wansheng was slightly startled, then stepped forward and snatched the dagger away, glaring at him fiercely: "You have too much money to spend, and it would be a waste to use such a fine dagger to kill someone. If you really have money, why not give me the three thousand taels directly when you get back?"
Mu Xingci was amused by her domineering look: "Okay! I'll listen to you." After that, he bought the ordinary dagger and then took the woman out of the shop.
"My Lord, please go and do your work. I can go back to the villa by myself." Yun Wansheng shook off the man's hand and went to find the carriage she had hired.
But before she could turn around, she was pulled back. Mu Xingci pinched her palm and said, "Let's go back together." Without giving her a chance to refuse, he pulled her into his carriage.
The carriage drove slowly towards South City, but Yun Wansheng in the carriage felt very uncomfortable. She wanted to sit on one side, away from the man, but the man hugged her in his arms, which made her very embarrassed.
"My Lord, please let me go first. I feel a little hot like this."
"It's late autumn now, why are you still feeling hot?" Mu Xingci hugged the awkward woman with a smile on his lips.
"Ugh! I have a hot body and sweat easily. Please let me cool down first." Yun Wansheng struggled.
"Yun Wansheng, are you still blaming me for your suicide?"
Yun Wansheng paused for a moment, then responded, "Yeah!" In order to prevent this man from taking her too seriously, she could only let him think that she hated him.
The relationship between him and the original owner is like they both got beaten to death. Neither of them is absolute, and neither of them is absolutely wrong. The problem is that the people from their two worlds have an intersection that shouldn't have happened.
"Yun Wansheng, I admit that I didn't like you at all before, and I even hated you.
But the changes you have made in the past month have made me look at you with new eyes. As long as you are no longer as greedy and mischievous as before, I promise to treat you well in the future. Even if I get married, you will have no worries about food and clothing. Just consider it as my compensation to you.
But if you insist on holding on to the past, I don't regret ignoring you back then, because you were indeed annoying back then.
After hearing what he said, Yun Wansheng rolled her eyes in his arms and said, "I think you're just a lecher. You changed your mind about me just because I'm pretty and good-looking! You men are all bad. You always judge people by their appearance."
