Because I can't drink much either, I can understand you, sir."
Song Yaoyao nodded, and did not talk about this topic anymore. Instead, she looked at Chu Jiayu and said:
"The girl is indeed a courtesan, with a beautiful face. I wonder how much silver it would cost to redeem her?"
After hearing this, Chu Jiayu paused and then said:
"You'll have to ask Mom about that."
Song Yaoyao nodded and continued to ask:
"I fell in love with Miss Chu Man at first sight and want to redeem her. What do you think?"
Guagua: [Host, what are you doing? You're not planning to buy him back home as a concubine, are you?]
Song Yaoyao: [Gua Gua, you're overthinking it. I'm just testing him.
If you have nothing to do, please don't disturb me. 】
Guagua: [Oh, I see.]
Chu Jiayu smiled and said:
"A lot of people have said this, but when they heard the price my mother asked for, they backed off."
"What's the asking price?"
"Mom wants 100,000 taels of silver before she will release me.
Many people give up when they hear this number.”
"I see!
However, I am different from them. What I lack the most is money. As long as the girl is willing, I am willing to pay the 100,000 taels of silver."
Song Yaoyao wanted to see how he would answer.
"You still have to ask mom about this."
"Well, then call the madam and ask her in person."
Song Yi had already stood up and asked the servant serving at the door to call the madam.
Chu Jiayu just looked at Song Yaoyao and asked:
"Sir, are you really going to redeem me?"
"Um."
…
Soon, the madam came in, fanning herself with a smile, and said as soon as she entered the room:
"Sir, what are your orders?"
Song Yaoyao asked straight to the point:
"I want to redeem Miss Chu Man. How much silver do I need?"
"That's it, 100,000 taels of silver.
As long as you can afford 100,000 taels of silver, Miss Chu Man will be yours."
"good."
The madam thought that if she told Song Yaoyao this amount, she would give up like the others in the past, but she didn't expect her to agree so readily.
100,000 taels is a sky-high price!
When they set the price, they expected that no one would be willing to spend so much money to buy an Oiran.
This situation was something they had not expected. How would it end?
Chu Jiayu winked at the madam.
The madam was already panicking because her mistress was about to be bought by someone else, and she didn't even notice Chu Jiayu's expression.
The madam's eyes turned, and she immediately had an idea and said:
"I was wrong just now. I want 200,000 taels of silver, not 100,000 taels of silver."
Song Yaoyao stood up, slapped the table and said:
"Madam, are you kidding me?
We just asked Miss Chu Man, and the price you offered in the past was 100,000 taels.
When you came in just now, you mentioned 100,000 taels. Now that you see we can afford it, you start raising the price.
You are really going too far!"
The madam saw that Song Yaoyao and the others were upset and said:
"Let me be frank, no matter how much money you offer, I will not sell Chu Man.
She is my cash cow. If she leaves, how will our Sansheng Pavilion continue to operate?"
"So, you set the ransom price at 100,000 taels, and you're deceiving everyone!
I never thought you guys make a living by deceiving your customers!"
Outside, someone had heard the noise and was coming over here.
Chu Man immediately stepped forward and said:
"Sir, please don't be angry. Let's talk it over nicely!"
Song Yaoyao looked at Chu Man and said:
"Miss Chu Man, the madam doesn't want to let you go, but you don't seem angry at all!"
