The Three Kingdoms: I can't be a counselor, so I have to divide the world into four parts

"One hundred gold..."

"Do you think my life is worth one hundred gold?"

The old man in brocade robe was so angry that his face was twitching.

However, before the maid could answer, the young man in gorgeous clothes behind him gently patted the old man's shoulder with a fan and said:

"I say, old man, if you don't want to order, please step aside, we are still waiting for the order!"

The old man stubbornly blocked his fan and shouted:

"Who said I don't want to order?"

"Isn't it just one hundred gold? I have plenty of gold!"

Then, the old man took out his purse and slapped half a small bag of gold on the counter!

"Hurry up and weigh it for me!"

"I have an extra... uh six taels! A full one hundred and six taels of gold!"

The clerk at the counter weighed the gold for him quickly, and the account office next to him quickly entered the account, and then wrote a receipt and handed it to the old man.

"This is the payment receipt, please keep it."

The old man took the receipt and said to the maid proudly: "Now, I have paid the gold, which is six taels more than the last person. Why don't you go and call Tang Jian to me?"

After listening, the maid smiled and said:

"This old man, it's like this, General Tang has too many appointments, so he only meets guests in the private room on the third floor."

"If you want to go to the third floor, you need to apply for platinum VIP privileges."

"I..."

He staggered and barely stretched out his hand to hold the counter to stand firm.

His servants were so scared that they hurried to help him up.

The old man now seemed to realize that he had fallen into a trap, but he had already spent so much money, how could he give up halfway?

"Then..."

The old man in brocade robe panted and gritted his teeth and asked: "How much more money do I have to pay to go up to the third floor and see Tang Jian?"

The maid still had that infuriating smile:

"You only need to pay another three hundred gold to become a platinum VIP."

"Our store has also launched special services for platinum VIPs, such as the qualification to use the private room ten times without reservation within a month, and..."

The old man in brocade robe was almost out of breath when he heard this.

He rolled his eyes and was about to fall down.

His servant hurriedly stepped forward to support him, then wiped his chest and pinched his Ren Zhong, and finally pulled the old man back from the gates of hell.

"Black shop... black shop..."

The old man was almost crying without tears.

If he wanted to see Tang Jian, he had to spend another three hundred gold to go to the third floor.

In this way, he spent a total of 436 taels of gold.

Converted into five-zhu coins, it's almost five million!

But if he gave up halfway, not only would he not be able to see Tang Jian, but his 136 taels of gold would also be wasted.

Just as he was about to denounce this black shop, the maid spoke again:

"Old man, you are wrong. We are here to provide you with what you need."

"But you also saw that you are not the only one who wants to see General Tang."

"If you choose to give up, we can't say anything."

After hearing this, the old man wanted to cry but had no tears:

"Three hundred taels...you are cutting off my heart."

After hearing this, the maid smiled and said:

"Old man, if you don't want to spend so much money and want to talk to General Tang, then we have another business here."

After hearing this, the old man seemed to have found hope and asked quickly: "What kind of business?"

The maid replied: "We also have the business of conveying letters here to ensure that your letter can be delivered to General Tang. . "

"The fee is relatively cheap."

The old man in brocade robe: "This... still needs to be charged?"

The maid said: "Now there are more people writing letters to General Tang every day, and many letters may not reach General Tang's hands."

"Even if some of them arrive, he may not have time to read them."

"If the old man chooses our business, your letter will definitely be delivered to General Tang and read."

The old man looked at his shriveled purse and said helplessly: "Well, that's the only way."

"Then how much gold does it cost to convey the letter?"

"Three taels should be enough, right?"

The maid smiled and replied: "You are joking, old man, thirty taels."

"Puff——"

The old man spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot!

However, this is just a microcosm of the qualifications in today's lively scene.

The old man fell to the ground, and the servants hurriedly stepped forward to call and implement a series of first aid measures.

A large group of people had already come up behind.

These people were all wealthy people. Seeing the old man wasted time, they shouted impatiently:

"Is he dead? If not, take him out. Don't delay me from paying for the appointment!"

"It's my turn, it's my turn. I'll pay two hundred.Two gold, plus three hundred taels of platinum VIP privileges, a total of five hundred taels, weigh them quickly! "

The counter quickly weighed them and handed out the VIP jade card for the private room on the third floor.

The young man who got the jade card looked very proud and went upstairs with brisk steps.

"Hey, brother Yuan Tan, you came earlier than me."

Gu Yong turned around and saw Zhang Zhao and Bu Zhi coming upstairs together.

Gu Yong smiled and said, "Same here. "

Several people greeted each other, and on the surface they were in harmony.

But each of them wanted to win over Tang Jian, a talent, so they had been competing secretly in their hearts.

As a famous scholar, Gu Yong would naturally not fight for money like the others just now.

Instead, he booked a box for fifty gold.

Then he sat inside to rest and eat, and asked the servants to come out to bid.

Zhang Zhao, Bu Zhi and others saw this and followed suit.

Not long after, the boxes on the second floor were booked by Jiangdong celebrities.

"Master, this banquet seems to be a trap."

As soon as Gu Yong entered the box, the servant followed him and said.

Gu Yong directly scolded: "Do you think I, Gu Yuantan, am so stupid that I can't even see such a trick?"

The servant heard it and apologized quickly: "I dare not! "

Gu Yong sighed, then sat down and began to pour wine.

Then he said:

"However, I know this is a trap to make money?"

"But now in Jiangdong, in terms of background, apart from the lord Wu Hou, the Zhang Zhao family is the only one that is powerful."

"If it is in other occasions, who can compete with the Zhang family?"

"And Tang Jian held a banquet here, although it was a trap for the purpose of making money."

"But this also provides us with a relatively fair opportunity."

"Let us compete with Zhang Zhao without tearing our faces apart."

"This Tang Jian is smart."

"Knowing it is a trap, we have to jump."

"In this case, I am more interested in winning him over to my Gu family."

"Go, bid directly one thousand taels of gold!"

After hearing this, the servant nodded and left, came to the counter and shouted:

"Master Gu Yong, bid one thousand taels of gold! ”
