Your Ninth Royal Highness, Please Change Your Clothes

Perhaps because of the beauty of this gemstone, it didn't take long for people to guess the price.

At the very beginning, a rather high price was called out, "I guess it's 80 taels of silver."

The people sighed.

But the strong businessman took the gem away and put it back in his sleeve, smiling and shaking his head, the person next to him said, "If someone gets the price right, he will take out the gem again."

After that, the price increase kept going up, and there were people who kept raising the price too high, which was completely outrageous in the end, but no one guessed it right.

People thought that the businessman had too much appetite, and he was not satisfied with the sky-high price. Wen Chan said, "It's just a gem, how could it be priced so high?"

Later, someone with a bad temper said directly, "How much money would you sell this gem? Just ask for a price!"

The businessman still just shook his head, "Everything is predestined, if an adult has a destiny with this gem, after buying it back, he can protect his house from disasters and protect his children and grandchildren, but if he doesn't, it's just a stone for viewing when he buys it back. "

Inside and outside the words, they all revolve around the word fate.

"It doesn't matter, you just need to sell it to me, I don't care if it is a sacred stone that can be used as a town house." The man refused to let go.

"My lord, forgive me for not being able to do what you wish." The businessman was also reticent, and said, "When the owner of this sacred stone gave it to me, he told me repeatedly that I would not break his rules."

"I don't think you know good from bad." The man became annoyed when he was rejected in public.

Only then was Wen Chan's attention attracted, and he looked carefully at the person who spoke, and saw that the person looked strange.

But Wen Chan remembered anyone who was famous and promising in the capital, but this person in front of him didn't seem to be familiar with anyone, presumably he was the son of some unknown wealthy businessman.

The people around were silent, waiting to watch.

The strong businessman stopped arguing with the man and closed his mouth. The woman next to him came out to smooth things over again, and said with a smile, "My lord, don't compete with us businessmen. Every business has its own rules, right? It’s for your own good that brother doesn’t want to sell things to you!”

"Don't fool me!" the man snorted and said viciously, "I just took a fancy to that stone, whether to sell it or not, just a word!"

"My lord." The strong businessman said, "If you buy this stone by force, it is very likely that you will have bad luck and bad things happen. Do you still insist on buying it?"

"Are you cursing me?" The man stared.

"Don't dare." The businessman said, "If you really want it, you have to pay double the silver. This glazed stone was originally priced at 20 taels, but now you have to pay 40 taels if you want it."

This number surprised many people, including Wen Chan.

20 taels?Just looking at this stone, which is exquisite and transparent, with high-quality material and beautiful shape, it shouldn't be priced at 20 taels!

Compared with the 80 taels of the first quotation, it was 60 taels more. No wonder the people who added more money later could not guess correctly.

When the rich merchant's son heard the price, he burst into laughter immediately, and hurriedly asked the servant beside him to deliver the bank note, and successfully exchanged the glazed blue stone in the merchant's hand.

Although there were some small farces, the purpose of the businessmen to create gimmicks has been achieved. Now most people in the field think that the prices of those rare gadgets on the table are determined according to fate.

Wen Chan saw this kind of business strategy at a glance, and he thought that this seemingly unfamiliar son of a wealthy businessman was also the entrustment of these traveling businessmen.

But Ah Fu was deeply deceived by it, and said to Wen Chan, "My lord, do you like anything? Why don't we go and buy one too?"

He smiled, and used an excuse to divert Ah Fu's attention, "I just saw someone buying plum cakes on the side of the road, go and buy some for me."

Ah Fu responded, and slipped out of the crowd.

Under the discussion of the people, those businessmen moved again. One of them with a beard took out a slender branch and tapped the unknown object hanging on the top of the stick.

There was a muffled knock through a layer of silk, and the bearded businessman said, "This is what we mainly sell when we come to the capital, and it is considered a rare item. I dare say that there will be no second one in Xiliang." .”

Before people had time to react to these swear words, they heard a girl-like voice coming from under the silk cloth, "That's right, I can't find another one!"

Everyone was amazed, and someone shouted loudly, "Boss, could it be that you hid a female doll inside?"

"Ridiculous!" The girl's voice sounded again, "You mortals, ridiculous!"

The bearded businessman took advantage of the situation and said, "My lords, you must pay attention to what you say, this thing is not something I can criticize."

"It's so mysterious, could it be that you caught a fairy?"

"It's hard to say." The bearded businessman said mysteriously.

Wen Chan looked up at the hanging thing, and had a guess in his mind, but he was not sure yet.

"Whether it's a god or a ghost, you uncover the silk cloth and let's see!" Someone below couldn't wait to see.

"Uncovering is a must, but before that, all adults listen to me." The bearded businessman said, "This thing is different from the previous ones. There is no fixed price. It depends on which adult spends a lot."

It means that whoever pays the most money will get the money.

People in the inner circle didn't care about the little money, and urged the merchant to act quickly.

The bearded businessman responded with a smile, picked up the silk cloth with a branch, and the thing covered under it was exposed in everyone's sight.

A burst of exclamation sounded in Wen Chan's ears, but Wen Chan just stared at the thing hanging above, and his heart beat violently.

It was an exquisite wooden cage, painted off-white with fine texture, and inside the wooden cage was a bird.

The whole body of this bird is fiery red, the two feather crests on its head are about the length of a little finger, the tips are a little golden, the tail feathers hang down long, and all the feathers on its body are fully visible, under the sun, it is actually a little sparkling, extremely beautiful.

Like a phoenix cub.

Wen Chan recognized this bird at a glance. It was a mockingbird given to Situ Zhoulan by Liang Yanbei in his previous life. Because it was so beautiful, he kept thinking about it.

The bird would stop on the pear tree in Liang Yanbei's mansion, fly around freely, but never fly out of the mansion. He came out, but he was afraid that the person he sent would be killed by Liang Yanbei, so he never did anything.

This phoenix-like bird can learn how to speak. I remember that once when Wen Chan entered the Liang Mansion, he saw this vermilion bird perched on the top of a pear tree and said loudly, "Zhou Lan Guan Yue Shame on the flowers, Zhoulan is unparalleled in beauty."

The voice was no different from that of a girl, and it surprised him at the time.

Unexpectedly, in this life, he bumped into this bird by mistake. When it was trafficked into the capital, he subconsciously touched the money on his body, and thought, this bird is mine, no one can take it away!

He turned his head and handed the jade token on his body to Shuhua and said, "Now go to the bank in the capital and get as many bank notes as you can. I want to buy this bird."

The look of doubt on the face of calligraphy and painting flashed, but he was very strong in execution, took the jade card without saying a word, and left.

Wen Chan was gearing up, full of fighting spirit, thinking that no one would dare to snatch things from him, right?

The bearded businessman tapped the wooden cage lightly with a wooden bar, and the bird inside turned its head, its black eyes rolled, "Don't knock."

Everyone was shocked again, "This bird really has consciousness? Can it talk to people?"

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know when you buy it back." The merchant said, "The low price is 100 taels. If you are interested in it, gentlemen, don't hesitate."

"I'm 150 taels!" The person who bought the glazed stone was the first to jump out again, "I have silver, and I want to order this bird!"

"Just now I wanted to say, where are you a bum? Who is your name? I haven't seen you in the capital yet!" Someone said.

Wen Chan heard the sound and looked, and saw Lu Yi standing in the crowd, looking impatiently at the person who kept shouting, he was like this, once there was something he didn't like, he would immediately scold him.

The man panicked for a moment, and he hesitated, "I'm not from the capital city, but I just came here to buy some interesting things when I heard that the merchants are coming here..." After finishing speaking, he breathed out again, "Isn't it Isn’t it true that only people from the capital can buy things in the capital?!”

Lu Yi didn't have anything to refute, just said, "If you are that arrogant, I will beat you!"

What he said was really unreasonable, and he successfully frightened the entrustment of the caravan, and his voice was reduced a lot.

The bearded merchant hurriedly chatted, "My lords, don't argue, just see the real seal on the silver. This lord just paid 150 taels. I don't know if there are any lords who are willing to increase the price?"

"Me." Lu Yi said, "My sister should like this bird. I'll offer 200 taels and sell it to me."

As he spoke, his eyes scanned the surrounding area, and he looked like he would beat anyone who robbed me, very rascal.

The Lu family is a family of generals, and Lu Yi is the son of the general. The general's family education is strict. He is not usually such a dude. Maybe it is because he really likes the bird that he wants to take it down by force.

Wen Chan said, this is beyond your control!

Just as he raised his hand and was about to increase the price, he heard a voice piercing through the turmoil of the crowd and piercing into Wen Chan's ear.

"I'll offer 500 taels." Immediately afterwards, he added another sentence, "Gold."

Wen Chan was shocked all over, thinking that it couldn't be such a coincidence!

Following the sound closely, he saw Liang Yanbei standing in the crowd wearing a snow-white cloak, his long black hair tied into a high ponytail, and scattered strands of hair hanging down on the fox fur at the neckline.

When he was dressed in vermilion, his whole body was exquisite and coquettish, with a charming evil spirit when he smiled, but when he was dressed in snow white, he was like a lazy and lazy immortal, with a look of carelessness when he turned his eyes and raised his eyebrows. The meaning of coldness makes people feel that he does not belong to this mortal world.

Liang Yanbei still had a smile on his face, looking up at the bird in the cage, his gaze was very focused.

With that cursory glance just now, he didn't see Liang Yanbei who was so obvious in the crowd? !

Wen Chan suddenly felt that something was wrong with his eyes.
