”This general offers twice as much.”
”General …”
”General.” Lin Xiafu could not sit still anymore, ”Everything has to be done first come, this hairpin is mine!”
”So Miss Lin knows about first come first serve? Then how come the hairpin that my little sister made for you yesterday appeared on your Miss Lin today? If the Miss Lin can pay a high price to buy the hairpin that little sister had set down, how can I not use the same method to buy the hairpin that I set down earlier? ”
Zhou Leping looked at the shopkeeper, determined to win, ”Shopkeeper, what do you think?”
”This …”
”This general is the most reasonable. Yesterday … If you can sell it to her, why can't you sell it to me today? Or … You don't like this general? ”
The storekeeper's legs went soft, ”No, no, how could this little one dare look down on the general. Since …” Since the general is willing to pay twice the price, then … ”Naturally, those with high prices will get it.”
Lin Xiafu was so angry that her face turned white, ”Why? That's my hairpin! ”
”A businessman with the word 'Li' in front of him.” Zhou Leping kept the hairpin and smiled. As he walked past her, he said, ”Just now, that hairpin that I accidentally broke was mine.”
She waved her hand to have Qi Miao pay, ”Give her the money for the hairpin that you gave her. We'll pay her three times the price for the hairpin.”
”Yes.”
Qi Miao counted out the silver notes for the shopkeeper, and then counted them out for Lin Xiafu.
Lin Xiafu's lips were trembling and he was unwilling to accept it.
Qi Si snatched the banknotes and stuffed them into her hands, sighing, ”Master Lin does not have much annual salary, so don't be courteous to us generals, accept them. No matter what, it is enough to cover the expenses of your family for the next half a year.”
”You …”
Qi Si did not give her the chance to finish her words. She turned and pushed Qi Miao away as she followed Zhou Leping.
Qi Miao didn't understand, and asked Zhou Leping, ”Why do you need to pay her so much silver?”
”This general has the money, not the least bit.”
Lin Xiafu relied on the Queen's backing to do evil and looked down on everyone. She did not lack for money, but if she did not, then Zhou Lean was lacking? The extra money was a form of humiliation to her.
Qi Si was completely satisfied, ”Look at her expression just now, she dared to bully our Third Miss, you really did give her face.”
But Qi Miao said, ”What if she goes before the empress to report the general's condition?”
