The waiter did not change his face because Hui'er said it was expensive. He smiled and said: "This is a high-quality Duan inkstone, and it is made by a master, so it is naturally more expensive."
Shen Wan also said to Hui'er: "The price is not bad. I once won a piece of Fang Lao's Duan Inkstone and sold it for three thousand taels of silver!" Even if it is the same thing, its value is different. Some inkstones can be bought for just a few taels of silver, while others are worth thousands of gold. Their quality and creator give them different values.
Ning Ruyu took Lan'er into the study. As soon as she entered the door, she heard a woman standing in front of the counter holding a half-legged little man saying that she had won an inkstone made by Fang Lao and sold it for three thousand yuan. Two silver coins.
She suddenly felt ridiculous. Fang Lao's inkstones were no longer available in the market now. Even if there were any, they would be hard to find. This woman actually said that she won a piece of silver and sold it for three thousand taels of silver? She could clearly see that. He's talking big words.
Hui'er smiled and said, "I heard Sister Qiu Ju say this, and Sister Qiu Ju also said it."
The waiter was surprised: "Fang Lao's inkstone is worth a thousand gold, but my wife sold it to someone else for only three thousand taels. What a loss!"
Although their shop had never sold Fang Lao's inkstone, he had heard it mentioned by his boss.
Shen Wan smiled and said: "Someone originally offered a higher price. Although I don't know much about inkstones, I only sell them to people who are destined to have them, so I sold the inkstone to the person who paid three thousand taels of silver."
"The people who bought the inkstone are going crazy with joy. Are you going to get that inkstone, madam?" the clerk looked at her and asked.
"At once......"
"Brother, has the inkstone our lady asked for arrived?" A female voice interrupted Shen Wan.
Shen Wan turned around and took a look, only to see a beautiful woman wearing a light blue cross-breasted skirt and a little girl wearing a pink shirt walking over.
When the waiter saw that it was Miss Ning, he smiled and said, "We're here, we're here."
The master and servant walked to the counter. Hui'er picked up the boy An. Shen Wan pointed to the inkstone carved with orchids and said, "Wrap this piece for me!"
"Okay!" The clerk nodded with a smile. Pointing to another inkstone carved with bamboo, he said to Miss Ning: "Because Miss Ning wanted the goods, our boss went to get two pieces! This Mrs. Fang chose If you want this piece, Miss Ning, I will wrap it up for you directly." Miss Ning also knows the price of this inkstone, so there is no need for him to say more.
Ning Ruyu looked at the two inkstones, and finally her eyes fell on the one with orchids carved on it.
Lan'er has been waiting for the young lady since she was a child. With just one look, she can understand what the young lady wants. She immediately said to the waiter with a straight face and unhappily: "What's the matter with you? Since this inkstone belongs to our family, the young lady has decided to do it." You just went to get the goods after buying them. When the goods arrive, it’s natural for our young lady to pick them first.”
The clerk was startled for a moment and said with a smile: "But didn't Miss Ning say you only want one piece?" Even if it was because Miss Ning wanted to buy the inkstone that their boss went to get it, it didn't mean that they couldn't sell it to anyone else. As a guest, you should just leave some space for her.
Lan'er put her hand in her waist and said, "Our lady only wants one piece, but you have to let our lady pick it first, and then sell the rest to others."
Shen Wan frowned slightly and thought to herself: This maid is so overbearing.
"Our lady wants this piece, wrap it up for us." Lan'er pointed to the inkstone carved with orchids and said.
