Chapter 37
"Who is the ancestor of the Meng family?" Xiao Youran asked.
"It's Meng Yingxiang, the sixth-ranked senior official in the underworld, who is Meng Yingxiang and Meng Zu? Besides, we sell the things we sent back to them. This is not a big deal?"
When Yue Dadan said this, his face felt a little sluggish and hot. After hearing this, Youran just shook his head and laughed, not caring about it at all. He patted his shoulders for fear of him, so he stepped into the gate of Jinghunxuan first. He had to follow him helplessly, and he couldn't help feeling uneasy.
The interior of Jinghun Pavilion is also magnificently decorated, with counters of different shapes all over the place, and the medicines displayed inside are also dazzling, with all kinds of them. As soon as the two entered the inner hall, a clean and well-dressed servant came up with a smile on his face.
"Hello, two guys! I wonder what can I do in the store to serve the two adults?"
"Well, don't be polite, ask your shopkeeper to come out and talk."
Xiao Youran nodded expressionlessly, found a chair that seemed to be used to entertain VIPs, and sat on it and said lightly.
"This... OK~! The two of you wait a moment, and the younger one will go and report it."
When the servant saw that he was just wearing the uniform of the intern, he was very posed, and he couldn't help but feel hesitant. He turned to look at Yue Dadan, and nodded when he saw him. Then he smiled and agreed, turned around and rushed to the inner room.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, a short and fat middle-aged man in luxurious clothes walked out of the inner room slowly with his bloated belly, looking around while walking. After seeing the two people sitting on the chair in the VIP area, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and bowed casually and said:
"I'm here Meng Jie, the shopkeeper here. I wonder what the two of you are here? I'm busy today and I'm so lazy~!"
Although Yue Dadan was uneasy, he saw the shopkeeper's arrogant attitude, lazy tone, and contemptuous eyes. He was obviously perfunctory. He couldn't help but feel angry and didn't speak. He just turned his head and hummed heavily.
"Shopkeeper Meng, I want to take some things out here. I wonder if your store can accept them?"
Xiao Youran didn't care about this, and smiled and threw the kettle he was playing with in his hand.
"Well? This is...how is this...it's possible?...this..."
Manager Meng took the kettle with some confusion, opened the lid to check it out, suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed.
"How? This is a rare thing. I wonder what price you can pay for in your store~?"
Xiao Youran seemed to have expected his performance. He said slowly while clenching his ears, dragging the ending tone to a long time.
"My messenger, how many more do you have this thing?"
Meng Jie changed his attitude just now, handed the kettle back, and asked with a flattering smile.
"You don't have to worry about this, just answer my question."
Xiao Youran shook her head slightly, took the tea handed over by the servant beside her and took a sip, and her behavior was extremely casual.
"In this way, why don't you guys follow me to the inner room to discuss in detail?"
After Meng Jie said that, seeing him nodding in agreement, he instructed the servant to lead the way inside first.
The three of them came from the front hall on the first floor to the innermost secret room on the second floor. Meng Jie checked the surroundings and confirmed that there was no one nearby before closing the door.
"Can you tell me your bid now?"
As soon as he sat around a table, Xiao Youran asked impatiently.
"Well, don't talk about the price for now. What do you call this man?"
Meng Jie's smile did not diminish and asked back without answering.
"Why are you so nagging? If you don't buy it, we'll leave!"
Xiao Youran seemed to be a little angry, and she stood up and was about to leave.
"Oh~ This man, please be careful, don't be anxious..."
Seeing this, Meng Jie hurriedly pulled him away, and saw him sitting there again with a dark face, then wiped the cold sweat from his head, and continued, and his expression became very serious when he said this.
"Master, if you know that this thing is a banned item from the underworld, do you know that this store will definitely collect it?"
"Of course, if you don't accept it, I'll go out to set up a stall and sell it. I believe there will be many people who are interested, hehe..."
He stared at him with a somewhat sinister look, Xiao Youran chuckled disapprovingly.
"Then... aren't you afraid of us...well?"
Meng Jie's eyes looked like a sharp blade with a cold light, and he used his palm to silence his throat, making a murderous and silenced position.
"Haha... Then do you Meng family want to join the clan to the evil department to have tea?"
He glanced at him, Xiao Youran sneered with disdain and threw an ebony token on the table. It was what Zhong Kui gave him before, and he had repeatedly used it many times.
"Uh...this! I'm sorry that the villain doesn't know Mount Tai. Don't blame him. Just now I was just a joke...hehe...just a joke..."
Meng Jie was almost frightened when he saw the token. He quickly got up and greeted him. His charming look of nodding and bowing made Yue Dadan feel from his teeth to the cracks of his bones, and he was almost disgusted.
"Tell me, what price can I pay now?"
Xiao Youran ignored his welcome and asked lightly withdrew the token.
"This... I wonder if this adult is still satisfied?"
Meng Jie hesitated for a moment, stretched out three fingers, and asked carefully and tentatively.
"Hmm~?! Are you giving me a beggar?"
Xiao Youran stood up after hearing this.
"That...this number?"
Meng Jie stretched out one more finger.
"I don't have time to bargain with you, so I'll get it in one palm and get it quickly. I still have something important to do!"
Xiao Youran seemed to have used up his patience, and slapped the table and shouted, scaring Meng Jie.
"Ah~?! A palm... Yes, yes, please wait, the villain will prepare in person."
Meng Jie was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and came down, bowed, turned around and pushed open the door and left in a hurry.
Looking at the strange changes in the situation in front of him, Yue Dadan was surprised and couldn't stop talking. Seeing that Manager Meng walked away, he quickly pulled Xiao Youran to his side and asked in a low voice in panic:
"It's really okay for us to do this? How do you know that guy is going to prepare money instead of going to report us?"
"Haha, brother, don't worry. Please wait for a while and you will know what the result is. Brother Rong will keep it aside first, and let's talk about it in detail after you have to do it."
He pushed him back to his seat, smiled and picked up the tea, crossed his legs, and looked leisurely and contented. Seeing him like this, Yue Dadan's doubts were also dispelled. Although his brother was a bit imaginative in his work, he was quite reliable.
The two of them chatted while drinking tea. Yue Dadan counted the accounts he had owed, and the total was about 300 taels. Xiao Youran nodded after hearing this, and secretly asked Meng Jie for 500 taels, which should be enough.
After one stick of incense, when the two felt a little impatient, Manager Meng pushed the door in sweat, as if he had been running around during this period. He picked up the teacup and drank it hard, and then he gasped and pushed an exquisite iron pear wooden box in front of the two.
"Ahem... The two adults have been waiting for a long time. Due to the insufficient inventory of the store, the villain ran to several more semicolons before he could barely make up the full amount. This is five million taels. Please ask the adults to count it in person."
Meng Jie was gasping for a few more times before he said respectfully.
"What? Five million... Ten thousand taels?!!"
The two of them exclaimed almost at the same time.
