"disappointment?"
But the next sentence almost made Wu San Tong, the chief escort, so angry that he vomited blood.
"Did I promise to marry you?"
"You're just being sentimental."
After hearing these words, Wu Xiangyue was at a loss.
"What? Am I not good-looking?"
"Look at me, aren't my breasts big? Isn't my butt round?"
Wu Xiangyue deliberately straightened her body while speaking.
Wu Santong was so angry that his face turned pale. Other people's daughters were all ladies from noble families, so why did he have such a daughter?
Liu Feng looked at her seriously. Wu Xiangyue was indeed very beautiful, with delicate features and a hot body. She was no less beautiful than his own wife.
"Is it beautiful?"
"It's indeed... quite big..."
"But will it work? I'm a man, how can I let you force me into a duel?"
"Besides, I, Liu Feng, don't carry a vase with me."
"Why am I just a vase?"
Wu Xiangyue retorted.
"I am a man of both civil and military abilities. There is nothing in this world I dare not do."
"Besides, there are so many benefits to marrying me."
"What good can it do?"
Liu Feng curled his lips.
"If you marry me, the entire escort agency will be yours."
Wu Xiangyue looked at Wu Santong and laughed.
Wu Santong's nose was crooked because of the anger. Other people's daughters were all wearing cotton-padded jackets, but his daughter was different. She was already plotting against her father before she even got married. It was not just a leather jacket, it was a completely leaky vest.
Liu Feng thought for a moment and felt that if he married this girl, it would indeed be a great help. Not to mention anything else, when he was not at home, no one would dare to do anything bad to his family.
"Then... go get it."
"I'll go right away."
Wu Xiangyue skipped over to get the family heirloom bow.
Liu Feng thought far ahead. This girl could protect the family, but more importantly, the escort agency. These dozens of people were all masters who had traveled far and wide and were familiar with all kinds of people. He wanted to make the agency bigger and stronger, and having such an escort agency as an assistant would surely make things more efficient.
Wu San Tong's eyes changed when he looked at Liu Feng, and Liu Feng could feel the displeasure in his eyes.
It's understandable, since he, a customer who came to escort someone, fell in love with Wu Xiangyue.
Any father would be unhappy about such a thing.
It's human nature.
By this time, Master Ji had finished assessing the value of the tiger bones. He stepped forward and said with a smile, "Dear guest, the tiger bones are very good and of high quality, but they are missing the skin and one claw."
"I kept the tiger skin for my own mattress, but the paws were taken away by the pharmacy not long ago."
"I came here to take over the escort because the owner of the medicine shop recommended it to me."
Master Ji lost his composure after he realized what was happening.
"Tiger skin mattress?"
Master Ji couldn't imagine what kind of rich man could be so generous.
"Haha...Okay, but fortunately everything else is complete. Three thousand taels of silver as a minimum."
"According to the rules of the escort agency, we charge a 10% commission."
"I wonder what your plans are?"
"One percent?"
Liu Feng felt the pain in his heart. If calculated based on three thousand taels of silver, it would cost three hundred taels of silver. The annual income of a county escort agency like this would not exceed one thousand taels of silver.
This order alone can earn one-third of the annual income. This is too shady.
Wu San Tong was also surprised. Why is it so expensive?
One hundred taels is an exorbitant price for a dart like this.
Could it be that Master Ji did this on purpose?
"Dear guest, listen to me carefully. Three hundred taels of silver sounds like a lot, but it is also reasonable. Think about it, dear guest. Shipping it out is one thing, but we also have to spend money to manage it. Otherwise, how can we sell it at a good price?"
"My dear guest, there is a chance of a change. If you pull the bow, it could be one hundred taels."
"If the distinguished guest defeats the young lady in a duel, can it be free?"
Liu Feng finally understood.
This was also Master Ji's plan. If Liu Feng couldn't pull the magic bow, then the goods were of illegal origin, and it would be reasonable to charge him three hundred taels.
After all, there are risks.
"Master Ji, there's no need to say more. Regardless of the outcome, I'll pay you the money."
"As for the extra money, it will be considered as the betrothal gift."
bride price?
And a one-time betrothal gift of more than two hundred taels of silver?
Wu San Tong was dumbfounded. This guy is really generous.
The people's livelihood in the current Dali Dynasty is in decline and there is a shortage of population, so the concept of betrothal gifts has long been eliminated.
Especially after various laws promoting fertility came out in Youzhou, giving birth to a daughter was like giving her away for free.
Not only did Liu Feng have so much money, he was also very generous.
good.
This young man is good.
Thinking of this, Wu San Tong had a higher opinion of Liu Feng, but it was just an opinion. It was far from enough to expect him to marry his daughter to him.
"The bow is coming..."
"The bow is coming..."
Wu Xiang came out of the main hall happily. Such a lively event was happening here, and almost all the escort agents at home in the escort agency came to watch.
Under the gaze of everyone, Wu Xiangyue opened the ebony box in her hand, and a precious bow that was shining all over appeared.
This bow is dark red in color and finely crafted, and it is obvious at first glance that it is not an ordinary item.
"This bow is called Poshui, and it was passed down from my Wu family ancestors. It's made of mulberry wood, with two layers of horn from a naturally aged bison, and the top layer is made of deer sinew from a whole deer."
"When the bow is fully drawn, it has the force of five stones and can shoot an extremely long distance of five hundred steps."
Wu Santong carefully introduced the origin of this bow.
