Chapter 7 The Talented Mr. Xu
"Boss, how much are these earrings?"

Seeing this, Xu Lan also opened her mouth and looked at the boss. It could be seen from Chen Ci's expression that she seemed to like this pair of earrings very much.

"1 million taels."

Who would have thought that the stall owner's words were so shocking that even Chen Ci subconsciously put down the pair of earrings in his hands.

1 taels of earrings?

Chen Ci shook his head. Although these earrings were exquisite and beautiful, they were far less than the value of 1 taels.

"Boss, you are too kind."

Xu Lan said: "You can obviously grab it openly, but you are still willing to give a pair of earrings."

As soon as these words came out, the two girls Qingluan and Hongluan laughed so hard that even the corners of Chen Ci's mouth rose slightly.

This person is also interesting.

"Haha, just kidding."

The boss smiled and pointed to the plaque next to it and said, "If you don't want to spend money to buy it, then solve the riddles and guess the characters."

It wasn't until this time that Xu Lan noticed that there was a wooden plaque next to it, which said that as long as he solved the riddle and guessed the word, he could take away any item in the shop.

“It was interesting”

Xu Lan thought for a moment and then said: "Then let me give it a try."

"If this young master wants to give it a try, he only needs one tael of silver each time he participates."

The boss looked him up and down Xu Lan shook his head and said, "But I have to tell you in advance, I don't know how many talented people from Qingzhou have been stumped by solving riddles and guessing characters here."

"Qingluan, pay."

Xu Lan smiled and said: "The boss is very calculating. If he guesses correctly, he will lose a few tens of copper coins at most, and if he guesses incorrectly, he will make a net profit of one tael."

"Business is a matter of mutual consent."

After being exposed, the boss said cheerfully: "As long as the young master can guess correctly, I will give you whatever you want!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Xu Lan decided to teach the young boss a lesson.

"Another bigot"

The boss was secretly delighted, he seemed to have seen a lot of this kind of young man who wanted to show off with a few girls around him,

such a pity,
How can it be so easy to show off.

"Sir, please."

Then he took out several kits of different colors from under the counter and placed them in front of Xu Lan one by one.

"Boss, isn't this too bullying?"

Qingluan on the side said angrily: "If you don't even let others know the title, how can you choose?"

"Hehe, that's the rule of our shop."

The boss was cheerful and took out the pen and ink he had prepared. He wanted to see how many taels this son-in-law could give him today.

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Lan randomly selected a purple kit, then opened it and took out the note inside.

"Listen to the wind in the boudoir of the back village - guess the word"

Qingluan and Hongluan came over to take a look and shook their heads, obviously they didn't know anything about it.

As for Chen Ci
It might be easy to get her to kill someone, but it's fine to get her to solve crossword puzzles.

"If you are unable to solve this riddle, Master, you only need to pay another ten taels of silver to get another tip bag."

The boss smiled and said: "Maybe next time I will switch to the puzzles I am good at."

"Black-hearted profiteer!"

Qingluan muttered softly, it's too dark!

"Who said I won't?"

Xu Lan smiled slightly, then picked up the pen and ink on the table and wrote a word.

seal up.

"you you you."

The boss' face changed slightly when he saw the word "seal" on the note, and he even started to stutter when he spoke.

Because Xu Lan guessed right.

"The boss shouldn't go back on his word, right?"

While talking, Xu Lan squatted down and took the pair of earrings that Chen Ci fancy just now in her hands.

"How could it be? Opening the door to do business is naturally based on honesty."

The boss looked a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"That's good."

Xu Lan handed the earrings in her hand to Chen Ci and said with a smile, "Girl, you won't refuse, right?"

"Master Xu is interested."

Seeing that Xu Lan wanted to give him a pair of earrings, Chen Ci was slightly hesitant but ultimately did not reject Xu Lan's kindness.

Unconsciously, a blush gradually crept up from her neck to her face.

"It's rare for a girl to pretend to go out today, why don't you try this earring?"

Xu Lan slightly turned her head to look at Chen Ci in front of her, and said, "Why don't I help the girl put it on."

"No, no, no."

The moment Xu Lan's slightly warm palm touched her ear, she felt her heart almost jumping out of her throat.

Although he was born in the Xuanjing Division and even had a lot of blood on his hands,

But it was the first time that she had such close contact with a man, and she was so nervous that she forgot that she could actually refuse Xu Lan.

After a while, Xu Lan stepped back a few steps, looked up and down, smiled and said, "Not bad, it's very suitable."

"Really, these earrings really suit Sister Chen."

Qingluan couldn't help showing envious eyes, how can there be a girl who doesn't like these little things?
"My son has really good eyesight."

Hong Luan was also extremely envious. If the young master was willing to give them a pair of earrings, they would probably be so happy that they couldn't sleep for a year.

"Really?"

Chen Ci coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, although his tone was a little unconfident, he subconsciously touched his earlobe.

It seems really good.

"Young master is a talented person, don't you know Gao's name?"

At this time, the boss came back to his senses, clasped his fists at Xu Lan and asked, "Just now I was too blind to see Mount Tai. If there is any offense, please feel free to ask Haihan."

Xu Lan also couldn't help but laugh at the boss's change of attitude.

"Just a scholar, not a famous person."

Xu Lan looked at the boss in front of her with a smile and asked with a smile, "I don't think the boss would mind continuing to do my business?"

boss:……

"Qingluan, give ten taels to this boss."

Hearing this, Qingluan also smiled and took out a banknote worth ten taels from the money bag he carried with him and placed it on the counter.

Originally, Xu Lan simply wanted to give Chen Ci a gift, but the boss seemed to think that he was being taken advantage of in his words.

Then he doesn't mind letting the boss have a long memory.

"No, no, no, no. Sir, I have a lot of them, so please be generous and let me go."

The boss quickly smiled bitterly and said, "Small business can't stand the trouble."

I have to say that this boss is indeed a genius.

Xu Lan only guessed it once, and he already had a premonition that he had kicked the iron board.

If Xu Lan is allowed to continue guessing, then the one who suffers will definitely be himself.

"I think the other two young ladies are as beautiful as a beautiful girl. Why don't we each choose the jewelry we like here?"

Seeing that Xu Lan didn't make any statement, the boss continued: "How about you just treat it as my apology to the young master?"

"Business, I've wronged you."

Xu Lan held back a smile and shook her head, this guy is really smart.
