Chapter 2018 Buying Candles and Meeting a Proud Girl (6)
The woman named Lin looked at Mengyu and then at the two servants behind Mengyu.
She knew very well that that day, Mengyu and Gu Dongxing bought their family of four.
Mengyu brought two people with her as soon as she came out. It can be seen that there is no one at home. It is most likely that they are their husband and wife plus four servants.
Look at the clothes they are wearing. They are all made of cotton. Although fine cotton is considered very good clothes, if you are really rich, why don't you wear satin clothes?
He was still wearing silk clothes.
It can be seen that she is better off than ordinary people and does not look like a rich person.
Therefore, she rolled her eyes, looked at Mengyu with disdain, and said: "You don't even know how much I want to buy, but you dare to say you bought more than me? Do you dare to bet with me?"
"What are you betting on?" Mengyu asked.
"Bet on which of us can buy more candles."
Mengyu smiled half-heartedly: "How to bet? I won't bet if there's no winnings."
"The winnings are the candles we each bought!" The woman looked at everyone: "Everyone here can testify for us."
Mengyu sighed. She was still thinking about how to give her some treatment, but the other party came to her door and asked her to do it.
This woman went out to buy things by herself, and she didn't bring a servant. It showed that she was not from a wealthy family. According to Xiaonian, ordinary people only bought candles for emergencies, and rarely bought them to light candles all day long.
Therefore, she can be sure that the other party does not want to buy as many candles as she does.
"Okay, let's write down the number of candles we want to buy and give it to the waiter. Whoever has more candles will win."
The woman frowned: "What if you write more on purpose?"
"Well, the question you raised is correct. What if you write too much on purpose? So, first of all, when we write down the amount and hand it over to the waiter, we must hand it over together with the money.
Second, I know you are worried, because you are buying a wife, and I am a real wife. We have different identities. I have a lot of money, so I will deliberately buy more. I promise you, I will only write about the candles I plan to buy.
number.
The number of candles my family wants to buy was agreed upon by the three of us, the master and the servant, on the way here. You can choose two people, pull my maid and the boy aside respectively, ask me the number I want to buy, and read what I wrote.
Isn’t it the same time?"
As soon as the beautiful woman heard that the three masters and servants had made an agreement on the way, she agreed without venting her anger in front of everyone.
The waiter brought two small slips of paper over and asked the two of them to quickly turn their backs and write the information they wanted on the rice, then fold them and hand them to him.
In addition, someone called Xiaohong Xiaonian aside and asked them respectively the number of candles that their master and servant had agreed to buy.
Mengyu naturally wrote down the six hundred candles mentioned before. When writing down the data, she also did not forget to write down her home delivery address.
When the woman wrote the data, she was very hesitant. She wrote the data too small for fear of losing to Mengyu. If she wrote the data too big, she was afraid that she would not be able to buy so much. After all, when she went out to buy candles, her husband would give them to her.
Got so much money.
She put her hand into her sleeve and touched the fifty taels of silver the man gave her. What he asked her to buy was 50 candles.
If she writes 50 candles, I'm afraid she won't be able to win over that woman.
what to do?
Her hand touched the ten taels of silver in her sleeve pocket that the man had given her when she coaxed her into consummating their marriage with him. She felt cruel and risked being scolded by the man when she went back and wrote 150.
