Chen Mu Mu played with his left index finger, "Steward, do you really think I'm some little country girl? You want to trick me into doing that?" Not to mention that these two pieces of cloth are not even worth thirty taels of silver, just with the help I gave you two, how could you send me away with thirty taels of silver? "
The steward sucked in a breath of cold air, "This young lady's appetite is really big. One must know that thirty silver taels are enough for an ordinary person to eat for a year. How dare you be so unsatisfied …"
"Whatever it is, it should be at the same price. If I were to help you out with a small matter, I would naturally be grateful to you for giving me a few copper coins. However, if I were to help you out of a desperate situation, helping you out through this calamity, I would naturally be rewarded. " Chen Mu Mu didn't think so. Facing the manager's rebuke, she didn't show any signs of guilt or fear. "Manager, don't you think so?"
The steward's face darkened, seeming to be suppressing his anger. "Then what condition do you want?"
"I want a 30% reward." Chen Mu Mu had already made up his mind. At this moment, he blurted out his thoughts without thinking.
"30% reward!" The steward was shocked. He looked at her in disdain, "Girl, you really are a lion with an open mouth. You simply don't give people a way out of this. You probably haven't even weighed your own worth. You're asking for money so straightforwardly, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"What did you say!" Before Chen Mu Mu Mu could say anything, Lu Jinfeng was already unhappily saying it out loud, "It's obvious that you are asking us for help, how did you become my wife asking for money, do you know how to say anything!"
"Three portions of the reward immediately! What else could it be if not a demand for money?" The innkeeper snorted, "There are so many beggars on the street, but they only dare to order a few steamed buns. Your wife doesn't know her place and is not afraid of the wind blowing her tongue!"
"Then there's no way to talk about it?" Chen Mu Mu didn't get angry and instead, asked with a smile.
"Let's not talk about it!" The steward also stubbornly refused.
"Xiao Feng, let's go." Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu did not hesitate and called out to Lu Jinfeng, before turning and leaving.
"Hey, you guys." The steward didn't expect them to leave so straightforwardly, so he was dumbfounded.
Upon hearing his words, Chen Mu Mu sighed and paused for a moment. He turned his head and smiled, "Still, based on your ability, you have to pay for everything." I don't force anyone. I'm just willing to do things I want to do. And if it doesn't work out, I won't get the money either. "
The supervisor's expression was stiff as he pursed his lips without saying anything.
Seeing him like that, Chen Mu brought Lu Jinfeng and left Feather Workshop without hesitation.
Lu Jinfeng was a little baffled: "You took so much effort to wait for a few hours, to give up now, are you satisfied?"
"Of course not." Chen Mu Mu slightly smiled as she played with the little yellow hair beside her ear, "However, you have heard of a saying, 'one can't bear to let go'. Sometimes, what one gets is even more."
Lu Jinfeng muttered: "You mean he will come find you?"
"Definitely come." As the biggest cloth village in Linzhou City, if Feather Workshop could not do what she wanted, and if the other cloth villages could not do it as well, the girl would definitely not let it go. However, if the steward did not accept her conditions today, but was forced to be anxious, wouldn't he have to beg her for her life?
Sometimes, some people didn't want to drink, but when things got serious, they were willing to drink.
Lu Jinfeng was deep in thought, but Chen Mu Mu Mu asked: "Speaking of which, the Feather Workshop is the biggest cloth farm in the entire Linzhou City, and since it's the biggest, there should be a gold mine behind it. Why is the Feather Workshop's boss so unhappy? He wants to make the biggest cloth shop in this town instead of opening a shop in the city, shouldn't the prime location have the most people? "
Although Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu's words were a little strange, the meaning behind it was not hard to understand. Lu Jinfeng pondered for a bit, then understood and said: "I am not too clear about this either, I only know that the Feather Workshop is the Shangguan Family's shop, the Shangguan Family's people have always been willful, no one knows what they mean."
Pausing for a moment, he said skeptically, "Perhaps it's because the Shangguan family's old home is in this town, so they are more willing to develop this little town."
Chen Mu Mu Mu's eyes flashed, "The Shangguan family you're talking about, is it the local countryside gentry? To be able to drive the development of the town and make the Feather Workshop big, the family background must be pretty thick. "
"Whether you're strong or not has nothing to do with you. With your appearance, you definitely can't marry into the Shangguan family." Lu Jinfeng scoffed, and then a ray of light flashed past his eyes, "Also, although the Shangguan Family's background is thick, Feather Workshop is not big, it's just a relatively big shop, it's just that its reputation is rather big."
How could this person speak like that? He treated her like a gold digger with just a few words. Did she say that she wanted to marry into the Shangguan family? His brain was a good thing, but he didn't have it.
However, "According to you, the Shangguan family should have a young son, right?"
"You really want to marry into the Shangguan family?" Lu Jinfeng's face turned ugly, his eyes were misty, he blinked and turned away, "Shangguan family has two gongzis, their age is the weakest, but Shangguan family is not only the local gentry, they are also the richest man in Linzhou City, many of the officials want to curry favor with you, how could they fancy you as a silly little girl, I advise you to do it as soon as possible.
"Give up."
Weird my brother, what's going on in that guy's head? He doesn't look that old, so why is his brain so dirty?
"In that case, the Shangguan family's foundation is really not bad." Chen Mu Mu Mu rubbed his chin, his eyes filled with interest.
Lu Jinfeng did not understand her thoughts, but he felt gloomy in his heart: "Chen Mu Mu, if you worship gold like that, sooner or later, you will regret it."
"I regret not having any relationship with you, I'm not your wife." "Lu Jinfeng, let me tell you again, I'm not your wife. We haven't even kowtowed to you yet and I'll return the betrothal gift money to you. We don't have any relationship, you can't tell anyone that I'm your wife in the future."
The light in Lu Jinfeng's eyes dimmed, and his lips trembled …
After a while, she whispered, "Of course."
He raised his head and puffed out his chest …
Rui Qian didn't dare meet her gaze. "Chen Mu Mu Mu, it's good that we don't have anything to do with each other. In the future, you're not allowed to tell anyone that I'm your husband."
"I've never thought of you as a hubby." Chen Mu Mu Mu spoke happily, causing Lu Jinfeng's expression to darken. She knew that her words were piercing him, so she hurriedly changed the topic, "Didn't you say that you wanted to go back yourself? Why did you come back?
"You are here." Lu Jinfeng looked at her indifferently, "You do not know how to be kind."
"I am a living person. I have hands and feet, and I won't starve to death or be sold by strange people." Chen Mu Mu Mu shrugged his shoulders, and suddenly caught on to an important point, "I haven't even mentioned you. Since you came back, why did you go out earlier? It actually took nearly an hour."
"Tell Uncle Li to go back and tell my mother that I might not be going back tonight. I won't let her wait." Lu Jinfeng suddenly said, "This town is big, isn't it normal to spend some time walking?"
Chen Mu Mu Mu stared at his face, feeling that what he said was not true. Just as she was about to continue asking, Lu Jinfeng looked at the sky gloomily and said: "It's already too late, it seems like we will be staying at the inn tonight."
Chen Mu Mu Mu was a little curious, "I thought that you would persuade me to hurry back to the village at night with such a treasure in hand."
"What's a mummy?" Lu Jinfeng was a little suspicious, he looked at her and shook his head: "Your body is unable to take it."
He actually still felt sorry for her. The corner of Chen Mu Mu's mouth widened into a smile. He didn't explain what Ma Bao was, and instead asked, "Then let's quickly find an inn. It's been a whole day and I still haven't eaten anything. I'm hungry."
"Alright." Lu Jinfeng nodded, he took Chen Mu around for a while before finally finding a cheap inn to stay in.
One room for 30 copper coins was cheaper than expected, so Chen Mu insisted on having two rooms, which Lu Jinfeng could not refuse her, and had to agree.
However, after she pushed open the door, Chen Mu Mu couldn't help but feel regret.
The room was full of dust, and the tables and stools were covered with a fine layer of dust. There were even some bold spiders who were busy weaving webs on the beams of the windows. When they saw her enter, they glared at her with hostility.
"It really is broken." The corners of Chen Mu Mu's mouth twitched.
"Our store is located in a remote area, so our business isn't that good." The waiter said in embarrassment. He picked up the towel on his shoulder and wiped the table and chairs, "But we don't charge too much for the guests, this room is a bit broken, but at least we have a window and bed, so we don't have to go through such hardships, young lady, please go ahead."
The waiter knew how to talk. Indeed, 30 copper coins per night was cheap. Although this room was a bit broken, the tables, chairs and windows were still intact, so it was much better than living in the open air.
Chen Mu Mu nodded his head in agreement, and his gaze roamed the room. The room was about five to six square meters wide and fairly spacious. Although there was dust and cobwebs all over the place, the windows did not leak any wind, and the table had no legs. There was also a dressing table.
However, she had never known this, "There are even things for girls in the rooms of the inn?"
"No, no other rooms." "There was once a girl in this room who stayed here for two months. Because she stayed for a long time, she made a dressing table, but after she left, she didn't take the table away from us. The shopkeeper saw that the girl was a girl, so he gave this room to her."
There was nothing wrong with the waiter's words, but who was Chen Mu Mu? She was the most observant, and hadn't missed the strange look on the waiter's face when he mentioned the girl, "Where did that girl go?"
"I found my family, so I left." Seeing her expression, the waiter seemed to have seen through her thoughts. Smiling, he said, "Guest, don't worry. Our inn is a proper inn, not a mafia inn. That girl left normally."
Was her thoughts so obvious? Chen Mu Mu Mu was slightly embarrassed.
She had watched too much of all the dark news of the modern era.
