The people nearby heard the quarrel and said to Shen Wan and the others: "Aren't you from Jiangzhou City? This Master Yuan is our famous lamp-making master in Jiangzhou. The lamps he makes are beautiful and durable, and the price is naturally higher than The lanterns made by others are higher."
Hui'er said: "We are indeed not from Jiangzhou City. Since it is a master's work, one hundred copper coins is naturally not expensive." She then smiled apologetically at Master Yuan and said, "This servant makes impulsive remarks and often makes mistakes. If it offends me, please don’t blame me, master.”
Master Yuan glanced at Zhong Dashi, shook his head and said: "Since this servant made an impulsive mistake, I will not argue with him."
"..." Zhong Dashi clenched his fists. This lamp seller clearly looked down on him because he was a servant.
Zhong Dashi felt that he had been insulted, and just wanted to rush up and punch the lamp seller. This girl Huier really wanted to apologize to this shabby lamp seller, but instead he was looked down upon by a lamp seller.
"Mom, Tutu..." Boy An pointed at Tutu again.
Shen Wan looked at Master Yuan and asked, "Can you buy this lantern for us now?"
"I want this lantern," a pretty girl came over with two maids and pointed at the little rabbit lantern.
Hui'er frowned and said, "We took a fancy to this lantern first."
The girl glanced at Shen Wan and the others with contempt, and said softly: "So what if you liked it first? Don't you still think it's expensive? If it's too expensive, don't buy it!" After saying that, she rushed to the maid behind her. He winked.
The maid also glanced at Shen Wan and the others with contempt, took out a piece of broken silver from her arms, and handed it directly to Master Yuan.
"No need to look for it," the girl said proudly, raising her chin.
The onlookers praised: "As expected of the young lady of the Chen family, she is very wealthy."
"It's just that, unlike some people, they don't look like they have no money. They bring servants with them, but even a hundred coins are too expensive."
There was a troubled young man who admired Chen Die'er. In order to flatter her, he stepped on Shen Wan and the others.
The Chen family is engaged in the tea business and is also a well-known wealthy businessman in Jiangzhou City. This girl is called Chen Die'er, the third daughter of the Chen family, and she has just grown hair in her fifteenth year.
Master Yuan did not accept the money from the maid, but pointed at Shen Wan and the others and said, "But they were the first to take a fancy to this lantern."
Although the servant made him unhappy, he was also a businessman, and the first-come, first-served rule still had to be followed. You couldn't sell the lantern to someone just because they gave him a lot of money.
Hui'er immediately puffed up her chest, looked at Miss Chen San and said, "Did you hear that, we took a fancy to this lantern first." After saying that, she took out the heavy money bag in her arms and took it out. A piece of broken silver said, "Isn't it just silver? Who doesn't have it? There's no need to look for it." She handed the silver to Master Yuan.
Chen Dieer stared, stretched out two fingers and said: "Two taels of silver, I want this lantern."
There has never been anything in Jiangzhou City that she, Chen Die'er, wants but can't get. No one can take away the things that she, Chen Die'er, likes.
"Three taels," Hui'er called out the price without admitting defeat. Anyway, what their family was most in need of was money, and she must win this lantern for the young master.
"Four taels," Chen Dieer continued to increase the price.
"Five taels."
"Six taels."
Both parties refused to admit defeat, and the people next to them were also excited to watch.
"Stop," Master Yuan made a pause gesture, looked at them and said, "As long as you guess the riddle on this lantern correctly, you can get this lantern for free. Why don't you guess the lantern riddle! Whoever guesses the lantern riddle correctly will get this lantern.
To whom."
"Okay!" Chen Dieer agreed directly. She was quite confident in herself. After all, she had also studied for several years.
"Okay!" Hui'er also agreed directly. Her wife defeated all the civil and military officials during the Lantern Festival banquet. Guessing lantern riddles was not too easy for her wife.
