Chapter 40 Khatib looked at the aristocratic lady in front of him who wanted to report to the official if she disagreed with her. He was full of frustration.
Yes, in Khatib's eyes, this lady in silk clothes is a noble.
You must know that in their country, only kings and nobles can wear silk clothes.
The spices in his hands were obtained by his family after a narrow escape. He thought he could make a lot of money to revitalize his family, so he came to this legendary country full of gold.
But what disappointed him was that no one in this country knew this extremely precious spice, which they did not expect.
The more than one hundred kilograms of spices exchanged for the lives of three tribesmen, from one hundred guan and one tael at the beginning, to thirty guan and one liang now, but still no one cares about it.
He was about to run out of money, and if he couldn't sell it, he and others would go bankrupt.
Originally, today's business was not successful, but I didn't expect that this noble lady thought that he had deceived her again and wanted to send them to the official. How could this be done?
According to the rules of Chang'an, all his property will be confiscated. As for the government knowing everything, Khatib no longer has any hope of reporting his identity.
Although he knew that the noble lady was just scaring him, he turned his eyes and thought of a wonderful idea.
"Khatib, please beautiful lady, please let poor Khatib go!" Just when everyone was about to see how the merchant would respond, what everyone didn't expect was that the merchant would be so straightforward and directly ask the merchant The girl knelt down, which made them a little dissatisfied with the girl. After all, they had to be merciful and merciful. There was no need to make things so extreme, even though he was a barbarian.
"What are you doing?" The girl suddenly became confused when she saw Fan Shang's actions. When she saw the disdainful looks from the people around her, her eyes even turned red.
"Beautiful and kind lady! Khatib really didn't mean to deceive you. This spice was obtained from a huge giant fish by our family at the expense of three clan members. This is our family's last hope. Please be noble and let Khatib go! Khatib is willing to give you this bottle of spices, but I just ask you not to report to the official!"
At this time, everyone sympathized with the businessman even more. With a little thought, you can imagine a group of descendants of down-and-out nobles with tough characters. In order to revive the family, they sacrificed many members of their clan in the fight with the big fish, and then traveled thousands of miles. Coming to the Tang Dynasty, hoping to revitalize the family with precious spices. What a touching story this is!As for the girl standing on the opposite side, she became the object of everyone's contempt.
Although some people felt that something was wrong, they did not find anything girl felt that the people around her were malicious towards her, but she could still hold on, and she immediately started crying in aggrievedness.
"Little girl, little girl!" Xiaolian hurriedly comforted her little mother. She didn't know what to do despite the people around her pointing fingers, so she could only cry along with her.
"Ha! I didn't expect you to speak the Tang Dynasty Mandarin so fluently. It shows that you have spent a lot of time in the Tang Dynasty!
I, the Tang Dynasty, was gentle, courteous and frugal, but I didn't learn from it. This way, I diverted troubles to the east, but the moral kidnapping was done with great proficiency. I used such a scheme against a girl who is not yet underage, and I will be punished! "
Just when Khatib was about to show a victorious smile, a gentle yet majestic voice came to his ears, and the meaning of his words made him stand on end with cold sweat.
When the girl who was still crying heard this voice, she immediately raised her head, but after seeing the other party gently shaking her head, she swallowed what she wanted to , those eyes that were already in despair regained their vitality.
"Mom, it's Ji"
"Shh!"
Of course, Xiaolian also saw who it was, and when she was about to say something, she was stopped by her own daughter.
The people around saw a young man wearing a blue shirt walking out. Looking at his temperament, they knew that he was definitely not an ordinary person. His outfit was not something ordinary people could wear.
At this time, some people had already thought of Shang's sinister intentions from the young man's words. It seemed that he was kneeling on the ground, humble to the extreme, but he made himself extremely miserable in his words, just to make everyone rise up to him. Just sympathy.
And the young lady looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old. She just said that she wanted to report to the official, which was just to scare her. As a businessman who travels all over the world, it is the most basic thing to observe people's words and emotions. It is impossible not to see the he still decided to do this in a very short period of time, and there must be other purposes for doing so.
After thinking about it for a moment, everyone understood Fanshang's intention, which was to make this matter bigger and use everyone's sympathy to promote their products.
Otherwise, he would not have spoken out so hard just now about the hardships and preciousness of obtaining the spices, and this girl would have become his victim.
Perhaps soon, rumors will spread throughout the Western Market that nobles are oppressing merchants and using their power to steal their priceless goods.
Until then, no matter how much of this rumor is true.
However, what is certain is that this merchant has become famous in the West Market, and his reputation has spread. Once he is famous, will he still worry about not being able to sell his products? As for this girl, she will also become the main culprit who bullies good people and will be despised by everyone.
This is a matter of ruining a person's reputation. When I get home, I don't know how I will be punished by my family!Future wedding vacations may also have twists and turns because of this incident.
"What a sinister intention, I almost became his accomplice,"
"Barbarians are still barbarians. Even if they learn the writing of the Tang Dynasty, they can't change their own habits."
"This girl was obviously just trying to scare people, but he took this opportunity."
When something breaks the window paper, all the calculations will be exposed to the world. The reason why the calculations are calculations is that no one can see through them. When someone sees through them, it is no longer a calculation. At most, it is just a little cleverness.
The person who came was none other than Ji Song. In fact, he had been here for a while, but he didn't say anything to stop him. He was waiting for an opportunity. The moment the businessman knelt down, Ji Song knew that the opportunity had come.
Because that was a bit too much, and people had already noticed that it was unusual. Ji Song just used it as an introduction to clear up the matter.
"Since there's nothing going on, let's all disperse!" Ji Song's voice was not loud, but his voice was quite majestic. After all, he was the leader of the clan, so he still had the majesty he should have.
Everyone also knew that this young man should know which girl, and they didn't want this matter to become known to everyone.
At first glance, this young man did not come from an ordinary family, and he was not someone ordinary people like him could order not to cause trouble for themselves, they quickly dispersed.
Khatib was already sweating profusely at this time. He knew that he had failed this time. He knelt on the ground and looked at Ji Song with a pleading look on his face, hoping that the other party would show his favor.
Ji Song ignored him and the young master and servant beside him, but came to pick up the small porcelain bottle containing spices. He was also curious about what spices were sold so expensively by this merchant. You must know that Sangguan is Datang can enable a family of five to live comfortably for more than five years.
"This is this?" Ji Song was stunned when he opened the porcelain bottle and smelled the fragrance. The familiar smell is still fresh in Ji Song's memory.
"Yu Ning has met Brother Shi. Thank you very much, Brother Shi, for rescuing the siege. Otherwise, You Ning wouldn't even know what to do!"
Just as Ji Song was deep in thought, a crisp voice like an oriole came.
Looking at the girl in front of him with tears on her face, Ji Song said helplessly: "You Ning! How are you doing recently?"
