Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms

   Chapter 158 Are all corners full of care?

  In the Qianzhen Pavilion, Cheng Ling was standing at the back of the E-shaped platform with a light expression.

   She replied to the little lady who asked the price: "Pearls are extremely expensive, and the girl is someone who knows the price. You can make your own bid according to the rules of Qianzhen Pavilion."

The little lady opposite    snorted and was about to speak, but a voice came from behind: "Good guy! The pearls here are so big!"

As soon as the    voice fell, several people gathered around.

   It’s just that because of the obstruction of servants, these people who come around can’t get too close to the E-shaped platform.

  People looked at it from a distance and were amazed: "This is at least an eight-point pearl! Look at this particle, it is really round, and I don't know if it is flawed or flawless?"

   "Seven points of pearls, eight points of treasures, if you can really achieve eight points, then this pearl is incredible!"

   "Should we weigh it on the spot? Or ask someone from Qianzhen Pavilion to come over for appraisal?"

   "The six pearls seem to be all round, amazing!"

   "One cent for one cent, one cent for ten price, really incredible..."

   With these discussions, more and more people gathered around. The crowd began to be restless. Looking at this posture, Cheng Ling's pearl seemed to be more attractive than the previous jade Ruyi.

  Cheng Ling silently observed the reactions of the crowd, and was actually a little surprised.

   She knew that ancient pearls were more valuable than modern ones, but it was probably due to the concept of "pearl parity" in modern times. She seemed to...still underestimated this preciousness.

   Under visual inspection, the diameter of these beads on the Jinpa is about twelve millimeters. If we say that these are eight-point beads... Then, she took out six beads at a time, was she careless and took too many?

   Just as Cheng Ling was thinking, the situation in front of the stage changed again.

Probably because the number of people in the back is gradually increasing, and the little lady at the front is anxious, she gritted her teeth and raised her voice: "Two hundred taels! I will give two hundred taels! Give me all six, and we will buy and sell on the spot. delivery!"

As soon as    finished, the girl named Daniang next to her hurriedly pulled her: "Xiangxiang, are you crazy? How much does this cost..."

   There was also an uproar in the back, but a voice said: "Two hundred taels? If it is a perfectly round eight-point pearl, I want to buy one for two hundred taels. What kind of daydream is this?"

   "If six eight-point beads of similar size are sold together, then two hundred and two will not be enough."

  Two hundred and twenty one is not enough?

   If it wasn't for his own clear understanding, Cheng Ling would have suspected that the people who spoke from the rear were all invited by him.

   But these people are really not trustworthy, and some people even called out their price at the time: "Three hundred taels, I will give three hundred taels! Give me all six!"

   Then someone said: "Bah! Three hundred taels, three hundred taels can buy such good pearls? Lao Tzu paid four hundred taels!"

  The price of pearls went up one after another, and the atmosphere in front of the E-shaped stage was heated up.

   Ahead, a girl named Xiangxiang was annoyed, her cheeks were flushed, and her voice was high and sharp: "Five hundred taels! I will give five hundred taels!"

   For a moment, the whole place was silent again.

   Six pearls, five hundred taels, all add up to three thousand taels!

   This is already a huge amount of money, and not everyone can take out so much money casually.

  In such silence, Cheng Ling saw that the girl named Daniang was about to cry.

   "Xiangxiang..." She pulled with her breath, "Three thousand taels, only for six pearls..."

The girl named Xiangxiang shook her off, her eyes lit up and said: "Don't stop me, I must buy them all, my aunt will have a birthday soon, I will use these pearls to create a unique face, and give them to aunt!"

   As soon as these words came out, Tanya no longer persuaded her.

   In the end, no one will compete with this girl named Xiangxiang again.

  Because just when someone was going to fight again, the servant behind the two girls suddenly took out a token from his sleeve, and one of them raised his voice: "Luo's daughter is here, who dares to fight again?"

   Mr. Luo! Which Luo clan is there in Yongzhou City?

   It turns out that this little lady is actually the shepherd of Yongzhou, the daughter of Luo Shijun's family!

  Cheng Ling's pearl was bought by Luo Xiang in this way, and a steward from Qianzhen Pavilion immediately came over and led everyone to the private room on the second floor of Qianzhen Pavilion to reconcile the transaction.

  Because three thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, Luo Xiang obviously cannot carry so much silver with him.

   Now, whether it is in the Eastern Qi or the Great Wei Dynasty, there is no such thing as a silver note. The major transactions are either gold, silver, or cloth.

   But no matter which type it is, it is inconvenient to carry.

  If Cheng Ling wanted to deliver the silver taels, he had to wait in Qianzhen Pavilion for a period of time, waiting for Luo Xiang to send someone home to take out the silver.

   This scene, to be honest, is quite stressful.

  Because Cheng Ling was alone, Qianzhen Pavilion was an unknown force, but Luo Xiang had four servants, two maids, and four guards.

  When such two parties are in a sealed private room, the steward of Qianzhen Pavilion is standing next to it, and there are guards from Qianzhen Pavilion outside—

   In this kind of trading environment, if Cheng Ling wasn't very confident, if he were any ordinary businessman, at this time, he would probably have to fight with each other, and he would be uneasy.

   Will the other party really trade as promised? Will the other party take advantage of the situation to oppress people, or even steal pearls?

In the elegant room, Luo Xiang picked up a pearl and watched it carefully against the light.

  I saw the pearly light shining like spring water, the lights reflected, the pink and white halo scattered, it was like the clouds in the sky had fallen into the world.

   The more Luo Xiang looked, the more he loved it, and the more he became obsessed with it. He couldn't help but ask Cheng Ling, "Do you still have such pearls? Really, there are only six in total?"

  Cheng Ling naturally answered no, of course, there are actually eighteen such pearls Cheng Ling.

   Collecting Zuo Yuanfeng, she got a bunch of Donghai pearls in total, of which there are 24 aurora perfectly round and flawless, and the rest are ordinary millet pearls of average value, which are not worth selling alone.

But Cheng Ling still has a golden pearl with a diameter of 16 mm. There is no doubt about the preciousness of this pearl, but when it is not necessary, it is impossible for Cheng Ling to take out such a precious thing to attract people's attention. .

  Luo Xiang pouted and said, "That's true. It's very rare to have six pearls like this one. If you want to have more, it's unlikely you look like this."

   While watching the pearls, she asked Cheng Ling, "Where are you from? Where did you get these pearls?"

  Cheng Ling said: "People in Xiaqingzhou, pearls are what I got by myself when I went to sea."

  Luo Xiang asked again: "You go to sea by yourself? What is the sea like?"

  Cheng Ling casually said a few words about the scenery of the sea, Luo Xiang's temperament was arbitrary and bold, and he listened with great enthusiasm.

  Beside Luo Xiang, Dan Niang pulled her several times and couldn't pull her, but after listening to Cheng Ling talking about the sea scenery, she gradually became fascinated.

  The atmosphere calmed down for a while, and after another quarter of an hour, the servant who went to Luofu to get the silver finally came back.

  3,000 taels of silver were packed in a wooden box with a size of 18 inches. Once the wooden box was opened, layers of silver ingots each weighing 10 taels shone brilliantly under the light.

  Cheng Ling took the wooden box, Luo Xiang carried pearls, and the transaction was completed!
