Chapter 196: Bargaining (5)
Hongling twitched her lips and turned her head away, as if she didn't want to see her master behave in such a rogue manner.
Shen Miao chuckled: "It seems that Shopkeeper Ji is not here to do business." After saying this, she made a gesture to leave.
"Hey!" Ji Yushu was startled: "Let's talk it over, Miss Shen, don't worry, let's talk business now."
Shen Miao then stopped.
Ji Yushu muttered softly, "She looks gentle, how could she be so fierce..." He caught sight of Shen Miaoqing's glaring gaze and immediately sat up straighter, saying, "Miss Shen was going to sell the news about the Jiangnan Chen family. Let me add one more thing. Three years ago, Miss Fang Shiyi was only eleven. How did she know about this?"
"It can't be fake anyway. The person selling the news and the person buying the news will eventually meet. Whether it's true or false will be decided by them. What is Shopkeeper Ji worried about?"
As soon as these words came out, Hong Ling and Ji Yushu's expressions paused, and their gazes towards Shen Miao were filled with deep meaning. From Shen Miao's tone, it seemed as if she knew every detail by heart, but Hong Ling and Ji Yushu were certain that Shen Miao had never been here before; she was a stranger.
"Well, having said that...how did Miss Shen know about the business of Fengxian Pawnshop?" Ji Yushu asked again.
“I heard about it by chance, so I came to give it a try.” Shen Miao replied with eight words, which was so perfect that it made Ji Yushu’s smile stiffen.
Ji Yushu rolled his eyes and suddenly changed the subject: "So, Miss Shen wants to sell this news, how much silver do you want?"
The person who buys the information will pay silver, part of which goes to the person who sells the information and part of which goes to Bai Xiaosheng. The amount of silver must be agreed upon in advance.
"After this, I want to buy another piece of information. If Shopkeeper Ji can sell me the information I want, I won't take any of the money from the Chen family in Yuzhou, Jiangnan. I'll give it to you."
Ji Yushu took a breath of cold air.
To be honest, Fengxian Pawnshop had been open for so many years, and many things had been left to Hongling to handle, leaving him as a hands-off manager. This was a highly profitable business, but it was also a very simple one, relying on connections and relationships with all kinds of people. There was very little thought involved. Who knew that after today's conversation with Shen Miao, he felt that the other party's words were full of twists and turns, leaving him a little overwhelmed. For example, at this moment, Ji Yushu was truly unable to understand.
But he still remembered that he was a businessman, so he asked: "What news does Miss Shen want to buy? Judging from the momentum, it's from a big source. If we can't find it, I'm afraid the money will be delayed for many years. I don't think it's a good idea."
“If Shopkeeper Ji is willing, it doesn’t need to take years, it can be done right now.” Shen Miao said.
"What does this have to do with my willingness?" Ji Yushu's eyes widened: "I'm not the seller."
"The news I want to buy is that Prince Yu's Mansion is plotting a rebellion. However, this news is not bought for myself, but for the Mingqi Emperor's family. Do you understand, Shopkeeper Ji?"
Ji Yushu was startled by the words in her words and almost fell over, looking at Shen Miao like a madman. Hong Ling also widened her eyes, watching Shen Miao calmly say these outrageous words, and felt a little dizzy.
The tea room was quiet for a while, until the incense had burned halfway, and then Ji Yushu said, "Hongling, take them out."
Hong Ling hurriedly took the girls out and glanced at Shen Miao before leaving. The latter picked up the teacup, his eyes as calm as a pool of water.
“Miss Shen,” Ji Yushu said, “You are not buying news, you are making news.”
