Chapter 10 Bargaining
"What are you talking about, Miss Xu? I, the Zheng family, sit upright and have established a marriage contract, so I will naturally keep my word. But with your current status -"

Okay, you still want to fool her?
Xu Zhenying interrupted the other party directly, "Okay, then I agree to be my concubine. When will someone from the Zheng family come to pick me up?"

Niu Zhangshi was stunned for a moment, then secretly thought that something was wrong, and for a moment he was not sure what Xu Zhenying was thinking.

Didn’t it mean that the Xu family was tough and would never agree to be a concubine?
He also thought that if this was the case, he could force the Xu family to write a letter of divorce.

What tricks is this damn girl playing?

"Either I become a concubine, and your Zheng family will be implicated by my Xu family for the rest of your life. I will have to promote my mother's family. Anyway, I will definitely do a lot of sneaky things in the future. Or simply give money, cancel the engagement, and the Xu and Zheng families will no longer have anything to do with each other." Gua Ge, I will protect your Zheng family's good name. You choose one." Xu Zhenying stared straight at the boss, her face always had a calm expression, she spoke not fast, but her bright eyes were inexplicably... An aggressive feeling, "five...four...three...two..."

"I'll give you money! I'll give you money!!" Niu Zhangshi shouted almost impatiently.

As soon as he finished speaking, the little girl in front of him smiled.

Broken, it seems to be fooled.

Niu Zhangshi wiped the sweat from his forehead and was shocked to realize that he was being toyed with by a 13-year-old girl.

Why did you blurt it out just now?

You should think about it for a while.

This damn girl...is such a thief...

Xu Zhenying patted Niu Zhangshi on the shoulder across the fence, looking familiar, and said happily: "That's right. Those who go out to do business, if they encounter a sincere business like me, they have to Cutting the knot with a sharp knife. Don't you think so?"

Please stop talking.

Niu Zhangshi smiled reluctantly, but did not forget to confirm: "Miss Xu Liu, is the marriage certificate here? Can you let me take a look?"

This old guy is quite cautious.

Xu Zhenying pointed at the eldest aunt, smiling sincerely and shyly, as if blushing with shame, "I was in a hurry to leave, so I took the marriage certificate away. The eldest aunt was afraid of losing such an important thing, so she kept it in her chest day and night. Niu Boss, you...can't let my eldest aunt take off her clothes for a body test, right?"

The boss of the cow glanced subconsciously, and the eldest aunt immediately glared at her fiercely.

Xu Zhenying seized the opportunity and immediately winked at the eldest aunt. The eldest aunt was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately covered her chest as if she understood it, and cursed angrily: "You shameless rascal, where are you looking? I said I have the marriage certificate. On my body, is it possible that you still want to take off my clothes and check them out?"

Niu Zhangshi blushed for a moment and took a step back in fright. He was so wronged that he waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no... you misunderstood... If I had such an idea, I would be struck by thunder and die."

"Look, believe it or not, I asked my man to dig out your eyeballs! You are going to die, you are going to die, you are old and you have to be looked at by the old gangster -"

Niu Zhangshi just wanted to bury his head in the cracks of the ground, his face instantly turned red, and he never dared to mention the marriage certificate again.

Xu Zhenying said helplessly: "The Niu Zhang thing is true, why don't you trust me. That's all, you will know the truth when I take out the marriage certificate tomorrow."

Niu Zhangshi was still frightened and no longer as arrogant as before. He didn't even know why he kept laughing, "The Xu family girl is joking."

Xu Zhenying asked directly, "That's all. If we don't talk about it, how much does Mr. Niu think we should compensate my Xu family?"

"Compensation?" Niu Zhangshi was stunned.

"Yes. Young Master Zheng is a talented young man. He is a scholar at the age of 15. His future is boundless. I am deeply saddened to lose such a marriage. I will never be able to find such a good match again. After all, I have been married for the rest of my life. No matter what happens, You have to accompany me for a thousand taels, right?" Niu Zhangshi was stunned again, "A thousand taels? Why don't you go and grab it?"

"Don't be anxious, this business has to be negotiated." Xu Zhenying pulled Niu Zhangshi back and continued to persuade, "Forget it, I don't think the Zheng family is particularly rich, otherwise they wouldn't always say that they are Qingliu Xungui. Let me give you a discount, 660 six taels. You hear how lucky this number is."

Niu Zhangshi wanted to walk away immediately, but he was pulled hard and faced the smiling face, "Niu Zhangshi, my marriage is not worth money, but the Zheng family's reputation is still worth a few dollars, right? Don't worry, as long as you have enough money, I will not only break off the engagement, but if anyone asks in the future, I will tell you that I broke off the engagement in tears because I felt ashamed and unworthy of Mr. Zheng. Everyone in custody will have to praise the Zheng family after hearing this. Do things kindly.”

Niu Zhang felt that he was really crazy for daring to bargain with his master's marriage, but he couldn't help it and said: "Girl, our Zheng family is not well-off, and there is an eldest young master and a second young master above the third young master. You ask for a hundred taels, how do you explain it to me when I go back?"

There is a play.

"Then it'll be 500 taels. It can't be less." Xu Zhenying smiled half-heartedly, but his tone became a little perceptive, "If it's less, I'll have to have a good chat with that Miss Bai family."

Niu Zhangshi's expression changed, and his heart thumped, "What nonsense did the Xu family girl say? Why did a young lady named Bai appear?"

"Look at you, you are not honest." Xu Zhenying looked very disappointed, "Niu Zhangshi, you deceived an underage girl like this, I am really sad."

I see you are so sad.

"Haha...Miss Xu really loves to joke."

"In the matter of Niuzhang, I still say the same thing. People who are wise don't tell secrets. 500 taels, okay. I'm still worried about the Bai family's affairs."

Niu Zhangshi was speechless and choked, looking at the sky, thinking that you damn girl has threatened the Bai family, how dare I disobey.

The Zheng family now intends to break off the engagement with the Xu family and then marry with the Bai family.

If the Bai family knew that the Zheng family would break off the engagement as soon as they saw the Xu family in decline, how could they consider marrying the Zheng family?
But how did this damn girl know?
Wouldn't it be refined?
Niu Zhangshi gritted his teeth and said, "500 taels, no more."

"Alas." Xu Zhenying responded sweetly and made a reassuring gesture, "Don't worry, I am an honest businessman. For 500 taels, I have to trouble you to exchange it for something and give it to me."

Xu Zhenying thought for a while and then reported a list of names, "50 taels of broken silver. The remaining 450 taels should be replaced with medicine for common diseases such as bruises, headaches, fever, diarrhea and fever, preferably pills; give it to me. Pack four bags with a change of clothes, dried meat, cold food, and a kettle; some salt, raincoats... let’s get twenty items first—"

Xu Zhenying thought for a while, then turned around and looked at the Xu family members with their mouths shaped like "duck eggs", "What else do you need on the way?"

Seeing everyone's dull faces, as if they were struck by lightning, Xu Zhenying frowned and said, "You are all watching what I am doing. If you need anything, please tell me quickly!"

The fourth aunt was the first to react. She didn't even have time to think before she said, "The miasma in Qianzhou is very serious, so we need medicine to repel mosquitoes and prevent snakes!"

Grandma also panicked: "Shoes! We have to walk two thousand miles!"

"Iron pot, you have to cook!!"

"Where's the bedding? It's October now, and it's going to be freezing cold on the road in this winter."

"Can you bring a carriage?"

"There are so many things, but they come from a donkey!"

Niu Zhangshi's old face trembled, "Are you going to be exiled...or going for an outing?"
