Song Jinggong wanted to get to the bottom of this so that he could deceive them. When he asked, he looked into the eyes of the two children. He thought that the two children would clamor for such a beautiful candy man. He had already thought of how to deal with it. As long as the children liked him, he would have succeeded in the first step.
Unfortunately, what he saw was that the two children's eyes only glanced at the candy figurine for a moment before ignoring it. Instead, they looked at him and smiled sweetly. However, why did this smile feel a little off? Could it be that the children all smiled like this? It was a little cold.
"Who are you? I am the young master of Zhangjia Zhuangzi. "Zhang Xiaobao blinked his big pure eyes and asked curiously.
Wang Juan also tilted her head and cooperated with Zhang Xiaobao. "Yes, who are you? I am the young lady of the Wang family in Zhuangzi. "
Song Jinggong was not surprised at all when he heard the inarticulate voice. He thought that the two kids must have been taught to speak by their families. Families with a little bit of money were all like this. They always felt that their children were better than others, so they taught them a few words so that others would praise them.
Thinking of this, Song Jinggong made a funny face at the two children, preparing to make them laugh. In the end, the two children turned their heads at the same time. This confirmed his guess that they were not smart children.
In fact, when Wang Juan turned her head, she saw that when Song Jinggong made the face, there was something on his teeth. It was disgusting. Zhang Xiaobao was not willing to talk to this person anymore. If he wanted to deceive them, he did not need to do anything. It seemed that this swindler was preparing to go to the family to deceive the adults.
When Song Jinggong saw the appearance of the two children, he felt that he could not use the original method. He could only say to the two maidservants, "My name is Song Jinggong. When I saw that your young master and young lady are so good, I suddenly decided to help you two Zhuangzi. Quickly take me to see your family head."
"You? You want to see our family head? Was he dreaming? If I were you, I would leave immediately. Our Zhuangzi doesn't need people like you, "Pomegranate looked coldly at Song Jinggong and sneered. She didn't give him any face.
It was the same for Cherry. It was as if Song Jinggong was an enemy. She pulled Xiaobao into her arms and hugged him tightly. She turned her head and looked elsewhere.
'Failure, it's really a failure. Being a swindler to this extent, how can he continue to be a swindler when others are already on their guard? Cherries and Pomegranate are not bad. They know how to distinguish between people and help the family avoid a lot of dangers. "Zhang Xiaobao held back his laughter and rubbed Cherries's neck with his head.
Cherries liked these two children very much. Looking at the cute appearance of the little childe, she felt that Pomegranate would not see it and go back to tell Madam, so she turned her head and kissed Zhang Xiaobao hard on the face.
Wang Juan saw the situation and was afraid that Song Jinggong would not go and swindle them. Then how would she catch the swindler? She could only say to Pomegranate, "Go home, I want to go home."
Pomegranate also had the same idea. She turned around and walked back with Wang Juan in her arms, not even looking at Song Jinggong. Cherries naturally followed behind.
Seeing the two maidservants leave with the children, Song Jinggong was not angry at all. He smiled and followed behind. The children who were watching the fun just now were not willing to continue following them when they saw that they were back on the other side of the river. They all jumped into the river and continued playing their games. The adults who followed them also turned back when they realized that they were no longer in Zhuangzi.
"Why are you following us?" After walking for a while, Pomegranate realized that the great swindler Song Jinggong was actually following them. She stopped and turned around to ask him angrily.
"When did I follow you? Could it be that Zhuangzi is your family's so I can't walk? It's not like I entered your courtyard. "Song Jinggong did not care at all and said with a smile.
"Then you can follow us. Don't think that you can trick my mistress. My mistress will not fall for your tricks." Pomegranate said bluntly. She carried Wang Juan and quickly walked back. She was prepared to call the servants to chase them away when they reached the courtyard. If she had known that she would meet this swindler, she would have brought a few servants with her when she came out.
"Miss, perhaps you have misunderstood. I, Song Jinggong, have never lied to anyone. You need to have proof for your words. Otherwise, I will report you to the officials. I am a High Scholar after all." Song Jinggong threatened.
"En, a swindler will always be a swindler. Who knows how you got your High Scholar title?" Pomegranate whispered softly. This time, she really did not continue to scold Song Jinggong. After all, she knew that a High Scholar was not to be trifled with. Her master did not have such a status yet.
Seeing that the two servants were afraid, Song Jinggong felt proud of himself. This High Scholar title was really useful. He had cheated so many people. Wasn't it because they could not find anything that could be used against him, and because of his status, they could not report him to the officials?
"High Scholar, Xiao Bao, can you win against him?" Wang Juan was carried by Pomegranate and walked in front of Zhang Xiaobao. She turned her head and mouthed to him. "High Scholar, Xiao Bao, can you win against him?"
"A High Scholar is nothing. When I was a swindler, I had a group of professors under me. Four of them were top scorers in the national college entrance examinations. How dare he cheat my family. I will let him know why the flowers are so red. You go first, I will delay him. You go back and tell my mother about the situation here. Ask her to prepare. Let's talk about it later. "Zhang Xiaobao did not want to let a swindler off so easily. Since he was here, he had to treat him well. He asked Wang Juan to go back first and report the situation. The advantage of having a few meetings was that there would be more time for discussion.
"Okay, I will ask Pomegranate to go quickly. Aren't you going to prepare? Looking at the jade pendant hanging on his waist, I can guess that he has succeeded many times. "Wang Juan and Weiwei nodded and asked.
"Go ahead. What do I have to prepare? How many tricks does he have? Compared to me, he is not even on the same level. I must let him see who is the real ancestor of swindlers. En, this question is a bit deep. "Zhang Xiaobao also let loose today and started to chat with Wang Juan.
After Pomegranate heard Wang Juan's words, she increased her speed and ran away first. Song Jinggong did not know what was going on. He wanted to chase after her, but he also wanted to follow this little boy. Just as he did not know what to do, Zhang Xiaobao spoke.
"Liar, swindler." When these three words came out from Zhang Xiaobao's mouth, Zhang Xiaobao even pointed at Song Jinggong.
"Little Master, I am not a swindler. I am a good person." Song Jinggong was really scared now. He was not afraid that the two maids would go back and tell them. He believed that he had the ability to make the person in charge of Zhuangzi listen to his money-making plan. But he was afraid of this child, especially a little boy. He had already inquired from the people in Ge Zhuang that there was only one boy in this generation of Zhangjia Zhuangzi.
What did a boy mean? All the love was given to this child. When the time came, don't say that he really wanted to cheat. Even if he did not cheat, this child could change the parents' minds with just one sentence. There was a most convincing saying that children could tell good from bad when they saw people, especially children who were not very sensible. It was said that children had the purest hearts and the clearest eyes.
Song Jinggong did not want to waste his previous efforts because of a child. He was thinking about how to make this child like him. Then it would be easy. After thinking about it, he took out a peach wood Xiao Bao sword from his sleeve. There was a red string on it. Holding one end of the string, he waved the sword in front of Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao laughed. He did not look at the sword, but pointed at Song Jinggong and said, "Money, money."
If Wang Juan was here, she would definitely laugh until she was out of breath. This Zhang Xiaobao was really too cruel.
Song Jinggong was not Wang Juan. Of course, he did not know what he was going to face. When he heard such a small child shouting for money, he thought that it must be his parents who taught him to know about money from a young age. This kind of person must be cheated. Yes, he must pass the test of the child in front of him. Money? Okay, money.
Thinking about this, Song Jinggong took out a copper coin from his sleeve. On it was written "Kaiyuan Tongbao". He laughed and handed it to Zhang Xiaobao.
When Xiaobao saw that it was only one copper coin, he didn't even think about it. He waved his small hand and knocked the money to the ground. He continued to point at Song Jinggong and said, "Silver, silver."
Cherries was carrying the little master. Originally, she should have left quickly. However, when she heard the little master's words, she slowly swayed behind him and did not care about anything else. At this time, she could only endure this big liar's' harassment '.
Song Jinggong picked up the copper coin that was knocked away. He cursed in his heart. Such a small child and he already started to recognize money. Could it be that the master of Zhuangzi threw a child into the pile of money for no reason? Gritting his teeth, he took out the one tael of broken silver and reluctantly handed it to Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao did not stand on ceremony. He took it and continued to shout for money. Seeing Song Jinggong's helpless gaze, he felt that the other party did not have any more money. He began to talk about money again. Song Jinggong still had money. It was not much, only a hundred copper coins. If it was too heavy, he took it out and handed it to Zhang Xiaobao.
This time, it was heavier than the money from before. Zhang Xiaobao used his hands to hold the string of money and placed it between himself and Cherries. His eyes were fixed on the jade pendant on Song Jinggong's waist. The string of the jade pendant was tied to the waist. The jade pendant fell to the thigh and could be pressed against the clothes.
Zhang Xiaobao just stared at it and did not speak. Song Jinggong suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart. He did not know why, but he followed the child's gaze and saw the jade pendant. If Zhang Xiaobao had been staring at the jade pendant from the beginning, then Song Jinggong definitely would not have given it to him. After all, it was bought with five strings of coins. No matter how good the jade was, it was not cheap.
Zhang Xiaobao was using psychology. This was called giving him an inch and taking a yard. He wanted a little bit. In any case, he had already given him a little bit. Was there a need for another little bit? This was because Zhang Xiaobao was still too young. If he was a little older, he would be able to take a yard and ask for more. If you did not give, then he would ask for less. He would make you feel that you could not always refuse, and thus agree to the smaller requests later.
How could Song Jinggong know these things? He could not imagine what kind of person the child in front of him was. He steeled his heart and took off the jade pendant. Panting heavily, he handed it over. He thought that if he did not cheat a hundred taels this time, he would not give up.
