Chapter 672 - Market Visit II (2/2)
She mumbled in a low voice, ” Not right now. You both stay here.” She asked him to stay there with Feng Ju and went to their stall with Jia shi.
Ji Cheng wanted to follow them but Zhao Ming shot him a glance and shook her head, signaling him to not follow.
In the end, he has to stand there while trying to control his anger. Even a commoner was talking about the royal family disgustingly.
How dare he!
Zhao Ming stood in front of the stall and said, ” Aiya, these hairpins are so beautiful. Brother, how much are they?”
The man who was busy drinking raised his head and saw two beautiful women standing in front of the stall. His lips raised as he looked at his friend and replied, ” It costs 10 copper coins. However, for beautiful ladies, I can give you this piece in only 8 copper coins.” He said while grinning at them lewdly checking them out from head to toe.
Zhao Ming and Jia shi looked at each other and frowned. The man was asking more than the double prince of the items. Before selling them in the market, they have fixed the price of all the items for the common people. Since they are from the palace, they were sold at cheaper prices considering the fact it was for common people.
But he was selling them at prices much higher than the normal price in the market.
The hairpins which cost only 2 copper coins, he was selling them for 10 coins. Generally, it was sold for 4 copper coins and it was the highest price for such exquisite luxurious hairpins in the local market. However, they decided to keep it at 2 copper coins, so that it can reach more women and let them enjoy the beautiful items made by the consorts.
But this man was looting everyone with the high prices.
Zhao Ming gritted her teeth and picked another item which was the anklet and was made by Consort Jia shi herself. She raised it and asked, ” And this?”.
” It was 50 copper coins. However, for you, I can make it 45 copper coins. But no less than that.”
”-_-”
”-_-”
Zhao Ming's toes curled in anger. She was trying her best to not slap this man on the face. The anklet which was worth 10 copper coins, he was selling them for 50 coins? The time is not far where he will sell it for a silver coin.
