"Replying to Young Master, two silver coins." The seller of the hairpin was an old woman. When Jiujiu came to see the hairpin, she didn't have much hope. Now that she saw that Jiujiu wanted to buy the hairpin, her old face instantly revealed a flattering smile. While smiling, she helped Jiujiu pack up the hairpin, fearing that Jiujiu would change her mind and not buy it.
Jiujiu took out some silver coins from her purse and was about to pay when suddenly, an arrogant female voice came from behind her, "I want this hairpin."
As soon as the voice fell, a piece of silver was directly thrown into the old woman's stall from behind.
After seeing the three silver coins, the old woman's turbid eyes instantly lit up. She was originally wrapping up Jiujiu's hairpin, but she also stopped.
She asked for two silver coins from Jiujiu, but this woman gave her three silver coins. Which was more and which was less, even a three year old child could tell. Naturally, the old woman also knew this. After her hands stopped, she immediately raised her head and looked at Jiujiu with her turbid eyes. With an awkward expression, she said, "Young Master, this …"
Seeing the old woman's attitude, Jiujiu's face instantly sank.
For Jiujiu, this hairpin was dispensable.
Although she liked it, she did like it a little, but it was only because the style was novel. However, Jiujiu had countless jewelry in her hands. Any one of them could be considered a rare treasure. Naturally, she didn't care about this hairpin. If she said that she had to have it, it would be a lie.
If this woman negotiated with Jiujiu nicely, Jiujiu would definitely give up the hairpin. However, what made Jiujiu unhappy was that this woman didn't negotiate with her and directly threw the silver coins at her. Moreover, her tone was arrogant, which was simply too disgusting.
Jiujiu wasn't a gentleman who didn't care about women. Even if the old woman looked at her with a pleading expression, Jiujiu didn't have the slightest sympathy. She directly raised her hand and directly grabbed the hairpin. She sneered and said, "First come, first served. Naturally, it's mine."
The woman didn't expect that after she threw out such a large piece of silver, Jiujiu still wasn't willing to let go of the hairpin. Her expression became ugly and she sneered, "First come, first served is not wrong. However, this old woman's clothes are shabby. If young master has a little sympathy, you can let this old woman earn more money to support her family."
The woman knew that she came later. If she followed Jiujiu's words and said that it was first come, first served, she would definitely be in the wrong. Therefore, she played a little trick and started with the old woman.
Sure enough, after hearing the woman's words, the embarrassed old woman's face instantly revealed a pleading expression. She looked at Jiujiu and said, "I hope young master can be magnanimous. My family has old people who need to be supported and my grandson who needs to be taken care of. I beg young master …"
"That's your business. What does it have to do with me?" Jiujiu sneered. She originally wanted to give more money to the old woman, but in an instant, her thoughts disappeared.
Jiujiu only took out two silver coins from her purse and casually threw it on the stall. She sneered and said, "When doing business, you need to treat people with integrity. You go back on your words like this. If you become rich, it will be terrible."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she turned around and looked at the angry woman standing behind her. She sneered and said, "Miss, you don't know the rules. Even if you get married, you will be disrespectful to your in-laws. In my opinion, it's better if you don't get married, so as to avoid harming others and yourself."
Jiujiu's words were undeniably vicious.
After being reprimanded by Jiujiu, the woman's face instantly flushed red. She looked at Jiujiu with eyes that could emit flames.
The surrounding people who had been watching suddenly shouted, "Is this Master Xiao?"
Although Jiujiu was just a fortune-teller, because of her extremely accurate fortune-telling, everyone secretly called her Master Xiao.
When the three words Master Xiao came out, the people who originally thought that Jiujiu's words were harsh looked at the woman and the old woman with strange eyes.
After hearing the three words Master Xiao, the woman who was still aggressive and the old woman who was acting pitiful a moment ago, both of their faces instantly became white as paper.
Jiujiu's prophecy was like a god. In the hearts of the people, she had a certain authority. Even if she spoke without thinking, there would be people who would be willing to believe her.
Now that Jiujiu said this, even if the woman's family had a lot of dowry, she would not be able to marry into a good family. Even if someone was willing to marry her, it was clear at a glance whether it was for her or for the dowry.
And this old woman, needless to say, her pearl hairpin would definitely not be able to be sold.
Just now, the old woman particularly hated Jiujiu for not being willing to give up the pearl hairpin to make her rich. But at this moment, the old woman wished she could strangle this woman to death. If she had not tempted her with silver, how could she not be willing to give the pearl hairpin to Jiujiu because of this? When she thought that Jiujiu was that Master Xiao, the old woman's intestines really turned green.
Now she had not earned the silver, but also offended Master Xiao. In the future, even if her pearl hairpin was good and cheap, it was destined to not be able to be sold.
The old woman was really greedy, but she was also really regretful. Unfortunately, Jiujiu did not pay attention to her at all. Even if she said anything, it would be useless. The old woman's face was ashen. Under the contempt of the crowd, she packed up the stall and left dejectedly.
After the old woman left, only the woman was left.
The woman was spoiled at home, so she had always been able to get whatever she wanted. If she met someone she liked but couldn't get, she would directly throw money at him. This trick had never failed.
But today, she kicked Jiujiu, this iron plate.
The woman's heart was as remorseful as the old woman's. But she had already offended people, so it was useless for her to say anything. She could only look at Jiujiu sadly and beg Jiujiu to forgive her this time.
The woman was very beautiful, and her eyes were strangely bright. When she looked at people, her eyes were even more watery, as if they could speak. She was extremely beautiful.
If the person she looked at was a man, she was afraid that she would be willing to pick the moon for her. But Jiujiu was also a woman, so she did not fall for this trick at all.
The woman looked at Jiujiu with sad eyes for a long time, but was ignored by Jiujiu. In the end, she could only leave with a sad face.
When the woman left, her back was extremely lonely. Those who were a little soft-hearted could not help but blame Jiujiu for being so heartless.
Jiujiu directly ignored the criticism of some people and turned to leave.
As for the pearl hairpin, Jiujiu directly broke it and casually threw it on the ground.
The woman's real name was Jin Xuan 'er, the second daughter of the Minister of Revenue. Coincidentally, she was one of the few close friends of Ouyang Pinting. Although Ouyang Pinting became friends with her because she wanted to use her, after a long time, Ouyang Pinting also had a little intention of protecting Jin Xuan' er.
