Chapter 510

Zhou Erlang also whispered, "don't be so troublesome. Youli is making a witness. Uncle Shi is also a famous figure in the county and won't deceive us. In a moment, we took the deed and recorded it in the county government."

Man Bao was stunned and asked, "isn't this Xiuya?"

"Yes, but your fourth brother knows a clerk. Although he has retired from the yamen, your fourth brother should be willing to help with the record, so he can do it today."

Man Bao was surprised. He scratched his head and asked, "is it so urgent?"

Zhou Erlang smiled and nodded, "although we are not in a hurry, when we can decide, we will naturally settle down and be more calm, and our parents are still waiting at home."

Shi Xiaoen has been standing aside waiting for them to discuss. Their voice is very light, but he can also hear some words.

He raised his eyelids and looked at them. He said to man Bao, "your brother is right. It's better to be sure. But my human feelings are worthless in the city now, and I can't find someone to help you with your paperwork. It's best for you to find someone."

Man Bao blinked and nodded.

Her intuition was that there was something she didn't know. She decided to ask her brothers afterwards.

So she left. Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang hurriedly followed and said, "we still have to buy something for Lord Yang? That's not enough money. "

Man Bao waved generously and said, "it doesn't matter. I have money."

She took out a string of money from her cloth bag and said, "let's go and see what's on sale in the market."

"Buy some snacks." Bai Erlang proposed.

Bai Shanbao said, "the snacks made by their cook are better than those outside. He doesn't eat them when we send them. What's the use?"

Man Bao nodded and said, "unfortunately, there are no fruits and vegetables in the market now, otherwise it's good to buy some fruits."

The three children strolled to the bookstore. When they subconsciously looked in, man Bao saw a penholder carved with a little monkey.

Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang also saw it. They rushed up together and saw three little monkeys in different shapes on a penholder, either mouth, tail or foot. As soon as the pen was hung, it was like three monkeys hanging pens on their mouths, tails and feet.

The three children were watching with sparkling eyes.

When the bookkeeper saw his acquaintances, he immediately came out from behind the counter with a smile and looked at the three children. "Young childe, young ladies are playing in the city again?"

The three nodded together. Man Bao asked, "Uncle shopkeeper, do you still have such a penholder?"

"No," he said with a smile, "just this one. There is no second one in Luojiang county."

The three regretted that they couldn't do it. They all reached out and touched the pen holder, and expressed a meaning - want!

The shopkeeper smiled so much that his eyes were almost narrowed. He asked, "the two little CHILDES and the little lady really have eyes. This pen holder is very rare. I asked for it for a long time."

As soon as they heard this, they had a bad feeling. Bai Shanbao took back his hand and asked, "what's the price of this penholder?"

The shopkeeper smiled and stretched out two fingers and said, "two liang silver."

Man Bao also reluctantly withdrew his hand and said, "the wood used is very ordinary."

"It's just because ordinary people only have two liang silver. If the materials are exquisite, the carving work will be more than two Liang." The shopkeeper pointed the penholder at the three people, pointed to the auspicious cloud above and the vivid monkey and said, "as for the carver, if the craftsman uses high-quality red sandalwood, the twenty Liang will also be sold."

Man Bao stares. How many cows can he buy?

Bai Erlang reluctantly took back his eyes and asked Bai Shanbao and man Bao, "do you want to buy it?"

Bai Shanbao thought for a moment and said, "we should accept his care for a long time and give him a valuable gift."

Man Bao thought so. He looked at the shopkeeper first, "can it be cheaper?"

The shopkeeper looked at them in surprise, "do you want to buy it together?"

Shouldn't it be bidding?

The three nodded together and said, "we're going to give it away. Uncle shopkeeper, it's cheaper. Just sell it to us in half and one half. Just as we can distribute it, one and a half Liang silver."

The shopkeeper's eyes were almost staring out. He stared at man Bao and said, "there's no such bargain. You can't cut it by half. No, no, two liang... I'll give you at least 12900."

Bai Shanbao: "one, two, six hundred dollars."

"Just one, two, nine hundred dollars."

Bai Erlang said, "then add another 100 Wen and one, two or seven hundred dollars?"

Bai Shanbao and man Bao want to step on his feet, but there is no block between them and the shopkeeper, so they don't step on them.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "one, two, nine hundred dollars."

The shopkeeper finally gave way to them by giving them one, two or eight hundred dollars.

The three began to raise money.

While wrapping gifts for them, the shopkeeper asked, "who are you going to give them? It's really big enough."

Luojiang county is very small, not to mention more than one or two things, that is, things with more than 500 yuan are considered large.

Even the knowledgeable shopkeeper was surprised that the three children pooled together to buy such an expensive gift.

Bai Shanbao said, "it's for the county magistrate."

The shopkeeper couldn't help narrowing his eyes and looking at the three children nodding, "there's a future, there's a future."

I know it's important to give gifts at a young age.

The three didn't know what the shopkeeper thought. They took the gift and went back to find Zhou Dalang. They felt that such an expensive gift could not be given in vain, so they decided to go in advance, so as to let Yang's family's kitchen prepare their lunch.

Zhou Dalang and his men had already waited for Li Zheng, signed the deed of contract under his witness, and took out 120 liang of silver for the purchase of the shop and gave it to Shi Xiaoen in front of Li Zheng.

Li was watching them hand over. He took the red envelope given by Shi Xiaoen and Zhou Dalang and left with his hands on his back. Before leaving, he looked at Shi Xiaoen shaking his head and sighing, but he didn't say anything.

When man Bao and them came back, Shi Xiaoen also left. Zhou Dalang and them were taking people up and down to clean up the shop.

Man Bao ran in and asked, "have you signed the document? Where is it? Show me."

Little Qian smiled and said, "I've given it to your second brother and fourth brother to take it to the county government. What did you buy for the county magistrate?"

Man Bao coughed softly and said, "we chipped in to buy him a penholder."

"Only bought a penholder? You should buy some more snacks, "said little Qian." it's not rude to be a guest at someone's house. "

In Xiao Qian's opinion, the pen holder is a very cheap thing. The pen holders used by their children are made of bamboo by Zhou Erlang, which is very simple.

Man Bao didn't dare to tell them how much the penholder was. He looked up and down. Everyone thought she was in the way, so she went out, "then I'll go."

"Let's go, let's go," even Xiao Qian waved, "but don't play too late. You'll be back at Shenshi at the latest."

She knew that Daji had been following behind the three children and was very relieved.
