Chapter 403: Don't buy without money
The woman tied to the wooden frame on the high platform was very beautiful. Her clothes were torn into a mess, revealing her arms and thighs, and a small part of the bellyband inside her was exposed. This looming appearance was even more confusing.
Logically speaking, if such a beautiful woman appeared in a tooth shop, she would have been bought by brothels and other places, and it would never be the turn of ordinary people to buy it.
But the woman was tied to a wooden stand on a high platform for so long, but no one was seen coming up to yell the price, which was a bit strange.
Lu Qingxi was a little curious, so he asked the people around him, "What's going on with this woman?"
"I heard that it was a child from a poor family. The family sold her for money. This woman is very beautiful and many people are willing to buy her back. Whether she is a maid or a greenhouse girl, it is good, but the boss asks for a price a bit high, and most people can't afford it."
"It's not just a bit high, it's simply very high. It's actually a price of 5,000 taels. It's just a lowly slave woman. One hundred taels are already very high, and she actually sells 5,000 taels."
"The boss clearly wanted to sell this woman to a noble man, so he put her on the platform so that more people could see her."
Listening to the people around you, Lu Qingxi basically knew what was going on.
"Xiaoxi, what do you think of this woman?" Lu Muning asked.
"Not very good. Sister, let's go to another place to take a look." Lu Qingxi pulled Lu Muning away.
The woman tied to the platform saw that Lu Qingxi and Lu Muning were about to leave, and was a little anxious and took the initiative to ask them for help, "Two ladies, please buy me."
This person is nothing else, but Xiao Meier.
"Sorry, we don't have that much money." Lu Qingxi refused coldly.
Xiao Meier quietly hinted to the boss next to her.
The boss received the hint and walked to Lu Qingxi and Lu Muning with a smile, and said politely: "Two ladies, if you really want to buy this woman, I can lower the price a little."
"I only brought fifty taels of silver when I went out today. How much can you reduce the price?"
"Is this... fifty taels too little?"
"Compared with five thousand taels, it's really too little, so I can't afford this woman. You can go find another buyer."
Seeing that Lu Qingxi was leaving, the boss quickly changed his words, "If you have less, just be less. If the lady is willing to spend fifty taels to buy this woman, I will sell it to you."
"You really want to sell this 5,000 taels of goods at 50 taels?"
"I'm willing, I wonder if the lady wants to buy it?"
"If you don't have money, don't buy it." Lu Qingxi refused very simply. Before the boss could speak, she said to the people around her: "This girl has already reduced the price to fifty taels. Whoever you want to buy it, hurry up. If you miss this village, there will be no store."
When he heard what Lu Qingxi said, everyone around rushed forward, blocking the boss, and scrambling to spend fifty taels to buy the woman.
When the boss was blocked, Lu Qingxi and Lu Muning had already left casually.
Xiao Meier, who was tied to a wooden frame on the high platform, was so angry that she saw Lu Qingxi and Lu Muning leave like this.
She just wanted to sneak into the Xiaoyao Palace openly and get in close contact with Lu Muchen, why is it so difficult?
It seems that today's plan is about to fail again.
But it doesn't matter. This plan doesn't work. She still has a plan. If she really can't get into the Xiaoyao Palace, she will reveal her identity and go directly to pursue Lu Muchen.
