Because we set out early, it was not yet morning when we arrived at the county.

Before Jiang Shuyue came, she had already thought about where to go. She had two choices. One was the Bafangke Teahouse, where literati and scholars gathered. On the sixth, sixteenth or twenty-sixth day of every month, people would compete in poetry, compose couplets, order tea and engage in other elegant activities.

It just so happens that today is March 26th.

However, if you want to enter this teahouse, you must order a pot of tea, and the cheapest tea here costs one or two taels of silver.

The reason she knew this was because in his previous life, Lu Mingzhan had no money but liked to pretend to be rich. After he got better, he studied in the county school and would come every now and then.

He told himself that this was to know himself and his opponents, to see how capable his opponents were.

At that time, she was still a country woman who had never seen the world, and she was looking forward to her husband achieving great things. She gritted her teeth, got up early every day to wash clothes for people, then set up a stall, and stayed up late at night to do embroidery.

After working so hard for a month, Lu Mingzhan could only go to the teahouse once. She also thought about going to that place to take a look, but Lu Mingzhan said that it was not suitable for a woman.

One tael of silver is a considerable amount of money for Jiang Shuyue now, and she really can't bear to spend it.

So she planned to go to the ghost market first. It was called the ghost market, which sold old items, both real and fake, and she could buy treasures there, but the most important thing was one's eyesight.

You have to pay to set up a stall wherever you go, but Jiang Shuyue went late, and it was almost time for the show to end, so many stalls were already empty. She stood there for a while and no one came to pay attention to her.

Jiang Shuyue placed the wooden plaque flat on the ground, intending to try his luck. If that didn't work, he would go to a teahouse. For those who could spend a few taels or even more than ten taels of silver on tea, it would not be difficult for them to buy something like this.

"Is this yours?"

Jiang Shuyue nodded, "Yes, brother, do you want to buy it? This is..."

The man interrupted him, his eyes rolling around, "Why is this thing here? This is a place where treasures are sold. Girl, you've come to the wrong place."

Jiang Shuyue smiled softly, "This is the treasure."

"Who told you that?" The man sounded strong and even a little aggressive.

But in business, Jiang Shuyue has met a lot of people of all kinds, and if he were to fall out with them like this, he would really not be suitable for this line of work.

"You are just a piece of wood. You have been deceived. You are a woman, not very old, and you look honest here in the wind and sun. Don't let others bully you later."

Having said this, Jiang Shuyue still felt that this person just had a bad mouth, but a good heart.

But I wish things were that simple.

"Well, you look like my sister, and I don't want her to suffer in a place like this. I'll give you twenty cents. Give it to me!"

Jiang Shuyue immediately understood that this was an expert pretending to be ignorant to fool people.

Fortunately, she knew the value of this thing, otherwise she would have been fooled by him.

"Brother, thank you so much, but I plan to wait a little longer." Jiang Shuyue said with a smile.

The man's face was gloomy. "What are you waiting for? Didn't you see that the show is over? No one wants to buy your junk. Don't dream. Everyone wants to buy jade or emerald. Your junk... I'm doing this for your own good. Why don't you know what's good for you?"

Seeing that Jiang Shuyue had a kind face and was a young girl, the man had already made up his mind to get her. "Then how much do you want? Let me tell you, I hang out in this area all the time, and I can tell at a glance whether something is precious or not. Yours is worthless."

Jiang Shuyue thought to herself that the man must have deceived many people.

"I want one hundred taels of silver."

She also knew that the price was high and no one would offer it, but she didn't say that people were not allowed to bargain.

Anyway, no matter how much she bids, there will always be people bargaining, so she just bids a little higher.

"How much? Oh my God." The man pulled a man walking on the side of the road and said, "Did you hear that? This girl's stuff is sold for a hundred taels of silver."

The man glanced at the older, taller man who had just come over and said, "Brother, we don't know each other, so be fair, how much is this thing worth?"

The man rubbed his cheek, first looked at Jiang Shuyue, then glanced at the things on the ground, and then shook his head, "It's not worth it, isn't this just broken wood? I can't even burn it smoothly."

"Would you like twenty cents?"

"Am I crazy?" The tall and thin man sneered, "I have money but nowhere to spend it. What else can I do with twenty cents? Buy it? Tsk t ...

He shook his head with disgust, then looked at Jiang Shuyue, laughed dryly twice, and walked away.

"See? You don't know what's good for you. I told you I'd give you twenty cents because you look like my sister, but you still won't sell it. If it were someone else, they wouldn't even give me twenty cents."

Jiang Shuyue thought to herself, maybe the tall and thin guy and the fatter man are in cahoots with each other.

It was nothing more than a lie that this was her first time.

However, she did not intend to break off relations with them. These guys were hanging around here all day, and they might have accomplices with others. There was no need for her to make things too awkward with them.

"Brother, I get it. You are such a good person."

The man was pleased and nodded, "Got it? Ask around. I, Hu Erping, am a well-known good man. Okay, twenty-two cents. It's windy today, and you can still have a hot meal."

The man was about to take it, but Jiang Shuyue held his arm, "No, brother, you've been so good to me, how can I let you suffer?"

Jiang Shuyue smiled, but the man's expression changed.

"What do you mean?" The man's voice became even colder.

"Sister, do you not trust your brother?"

"No, I just don't want you to suffer any loss, brother." Jiang Shuyue said lightly.

The man looked murderous and didn't want to pretend anymore. "Why don't you ask who I am, Song Erping? I'm telling you, I gave you face and money. If I didn't give you money, you would have to give it to me obediently."

Jiang Shuyue curled his lips, "Brother, what are you talking about? You are good to me, I can't cheat you, why don't we find someone else to cheat?"

"Hmph, stop trying to flatter me. I'm telling you, I've fallen for this thing today, and you have to sell it whether you want to or not."

The man yelled, and the people nearby were so scared that they quickly packed up their stalls and left.

Jiang Shuyue was still smiling.

But the man felt a little guilty. Who was this woman? Normally, not to mention women, even men would be scared and beg for mercy when they saw her like this. How could she still smile?

Jiang Shuyue not only laughed, but also asked: "Brother, do you know Master Jiu?"

"Master Jiu... Master Jiu?" The man's voice trembled slightly. "You are talking about..."

"Yan Jiu, Master Jiu, I am his distant cousin." Jiang Shuyue said.
