The people nearby heard the quarrel and said to Shen Wan and the others: "You are not from Jiangzhou City, are you?
Master Yuan is a famous lamp-maker in Jiangzhou. The lamps he makes are beautiful and durable, so the price is naturally higher than those made by others."
Hui'er said: "We are indeed not from Jiangzhou City. Since it is the work of a master, one hundred Wen is certainly not expensive."
She smiled apologetically at Master Yuan and said, "My servant made an impulsive blunder and was very offended. Master, please don't blame me."
Master Yuan glanced at Zhong Dashi, shook his head and said, "Since this servant made an impulsive blunder, I won't 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 was insulted and just wanted to rush up and punch the lamp seller.
It's true that this girl Hui'er didn't want to apologize to this shabby lamp seller, but instead she 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 winked at the maid behind her.
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 well-known as a wealthy businessman in Jiangzhou City.
This girl's name is Chen Die'er, the third young lady of the Chen family. She is just fifteen years old and has just grown hair.
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 that servant made him unhappy, he was also a businessman, and the first-come, first-served rule still had to be followed.
You can't sell this lantern to someone just because they offer you a lot of money.
Hui'er immediately puffed up her chest, looked at Miss Chen San and said, "Did you hear that this lantern was the one we took a fancy to first?"
As she said that, she took out the heavy money bag in her arms, took out a broken piece of silver and said, "Isn't it just silver?
Who doesn’t?
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 Dieer, wanted but couldn't get.
No one can take away what Chen Dieer 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 riddles? Whoever guesses the lantern riddles correctly will get the lantern."
"OK!"
Chen Die'er agreed directly. She was quite confident in herself. After all, she had been studying for several years.
"OK!"
Huier also agreed directly.
During the Lantern Festival Night Banquet, her wife defeated all the civil and military officials in the court. Guessing lantern riddles was not easy for her wife.
